Machine SIays by Wireless,

An electrical machine invented by
a st. Paul man may be used by Ger
many in killing enemies with wireless,
according to st. Paul dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record The machine
was first developed to kill rabbits in
North Dakota. Charles F. BiIlows,
aided by electricians, perfected the
machine, which flashed rabbits and
dogs to death at a distance of 107
feet. Electricity for experiments was
obtained from a Thomas street trolley
wire
When the present war broke out the
inventor realized its possibilities. Eng
ish and French officers were sounded
as to its availability, but they refused.
The machine then was turned over to
Germany, where it was accepted for
EXPERIMENTATION.
81 believe it was used in the present
Russian campaign" said Billows. The
possibilities of the machine are I'M
limited. With large voltage there is
no reason why human beings could
not be flashed to death at long dis
tances. l believe Russian powder sta
tions were set off by our machine"

With these few weIl-chosen words, a
tall well-buiIt young fellow slapped
another W. B. z. f. In the small Of
his back with such a resounding
Whack as to almost put his lights out.
Even blind baggage car could see
that the young men were old college
chums.

Fine. Say, do you remember the
night when We got lit up and came

Sure do. Sort of a stewed chicken
poz- Well. I've got about five min
utes to spare. Let's drop into this
cafe and have just one drink"
So the two college chums who had
not met in so many years sided into
Dinkeldorfer's cafe and Hank gave his
order and Bill said: Make it ditto"
The bartender did that little thing for
them. They had one drink and Bill
said good-by to Hank and Hank said
gOOd-by to Bill
just one little drink, and each went
his way.

Embroidery Bars.

The blue and white Japanese doilies
so popular for summer use may be
converted into neat little mending
bags, which make very nice gifts.
Take two doiIies the same size and
feather-stftch them together except at
the top, where they are sewed to oval
rings to serve as an opening. Make
ribbon loops of blue satin fastened to
the sides of the rings with bows, and
the result is very attractive If you
use square doilies edge them with mar
row Irish lace and the top corners
may be brought over the rings as
finish to double back part way over
the two sides, the opposite corners
forming the pointed bottom of the bag.

YES, FATHER PURSUED THEM
In Fact the Old Gentleman Overlook
and Stuck Very Close TO the
clipping Pair.

When the conversation turned to
the subject OF romantic marriages
this little anecdote was volunteered
by H. Il. Asker, a North Dakota poll

One afternoon Green was standing
on the corner looking at the jitneys
when he was suddenly confronted by
an acquaintance of other years. Soon
they were comparing notes and recall
ing happy hours.

ago." said the acquaintance in re-

No. answered Brown, with a re-
Elective expression, 1T was an eIope-
ment"
An eIopement, eh?" returned the
acquaintance. Did the girls father

Yes answered Brown, with some
thing akin to a sigh, and he has been
with US ever since"

CHANGES IN W0MAN'S HAIR
Simplicity in Style Gives Way to Pom
padour, Pulls and Curls This
Fall.

In the Woman's Home Companion
the fashion editor comments in part
as follows about the changes in Golf
fure this fall:
There is to be a decided change in
the couture this autumn. Simplicity
has been the model these past two or
three seasons. Now there is return
to the pompadour and puffs and curls.
This should be welcome news to many
women, as this new style is far more
becoming and softening to the fea-
lures than the severely plain coiffure
recently favored. The new pompadour
is interesting as it is SO different from
the pompadour so popular in the past.
1t is called the slanting pompadour,
because it is very low in front and
rises gradually until it reaches the
crown, where it is finished with a
group Of small puffs or curls encircled
with soft coil"

FALL STYLES FOR CHILDREN
School Dresses Are Made in Ginghams,
PercaIes, Linens, Ratines
and Piques.

Children's wash dresses suitable for
school wear are in ginghams, percales,
linens, ratines, piques,> cordalines and
other heavy wash fabrics. Many are
in plain colors trimmed with checked,
plaid or striped material, while others
are Of a fancy material trimmed with
a plain fabric. Combinations of MILDLY
or blouse Of plain color with a skirt of
plaid, or vice versa, are very pretty.
Colored worsted dresses are also in
a great variety of styles in serges, pop
Inns and checked and plaid worsteds.
Some are made in sailor effect, while
others have the MILDLY blouse or the
new college blouse with shocking.
In dressy little frocks combinations
of worsted and silk, such as serge,
with plaid or check silk, are seen.
Corded and plain velvets are com
bined with satin charmeuse, or fancy
plaid, checked or striped silk. Party
dresses Of net, crepe, chiffon or lace
are often combined with silk.
For older girls three-piece suits are
popular. They consist of simple little
serge OF gaberdine dresses with a
short, snappy coat in norfolk, Russian
or box effect, of the same material.
Flat collars are almost universally
worn and sleeves are usually set in
at the regular armhole, finished off
with a fare cuff, or made in fare eff
feet starting from the elbow. Belts
and sashes are usually Of self mate
rial, or of the same fabric as the col
lars and cuffs.
ChiIdren's coats are made with
slight fare in the lower section. Some
times a coat is cut in two sections and

RAFFLES LOST FINE CHANCE
Sleepy Bride, Too Tired TO Put Pres
ents Away, Leaves Note for
MIR. Burglar.

Some local Raf1es missed the op-
portunity of his life the other night, {"
said a young Philadelphia travelling
man just returned from a trip to the
middle West.
AS you Know, I was married last
April, and have installed my bride in
a pretty suburban cottage.
Now, l never realized to what ex-
tent my customers appreciate me until
their wedding presents began TO pour
in. And these gifts. being shipped
f 0. b. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland or
some other distant city, the parcels
invariably made up in value for what
they lacked in size. Meanwhile my
family and that of my bride had not
been idle, and my firm always does
the handsome thing; consequently the
result was a collection of which any
married couple might be proud.
by making close connections this
trip I was able to reach home a day
or two ahead of schedule, being some
what disturbed by accounts in the
Philadelphia papers of a daring rob-
berry in the very next block to that
in which I live. 1t was nearly a. N.
when I entered the house, and, great
ly to my surprise, spread out in full
view on the big table in the hall were
numerous jewelers. boxes, large and
small, containing our cherished and
expensive wedding gifts.
The little woman has been show
ing her presents 10 visitors, and must
have been too sleepy to carry them
upstairs again. I unused aloud. Rather
risky business with burglars in the
neighbOrhood!
Just then I noticed a large paste
board card tilted in a conspicuous po-
sition against the lamp. On it, in my
wife's handwriting, was inscribed the
following:
Mr.. Burglar: These are all the val
tables in the house. Take them and
welcome, if you will only please to
leave US unframed upstairs

There Was a Doubt.

Here is a little story that was told
by Congressman William H. Murray
of Oklahoma, in gently throwing the
harpoon into lawyer friend:
One afternoon stranger debarked
from train at a hustIing town in

Finally he met a party that looked
like native.
Pardon me-" said the stranger,
hating the likely-looking party. Are
you a resident of this town."

other. Been here something like

Mistake of Our AVERAGE Man.

With the best intentions in the
world the average man, especially in
America, in endeayoring to give every
thing to his wife, has made it difficult
for her to give adequately in return.
Our modern American women are
brought up too softly to develop he

MORE FUR Is SLOGAN
WHAT FASHION MAKERS DICTATE
FOR FALL WEAR.
Cuffs on Every Jacket Are Now Muffs
HENS of Skirts and Jackets
Smothered in Bands
of Fur

1t IS probable that women will
never be persuaded TO give up pieces
Of peltry~ that cover the shoulders: it
is the remaining savage instinct in
them to fling around their bodies the
skins Of wild beasts; this truth was
proved during the summer, when
every woman who could afford the
price Of a fox, white or otherwise. ar
rayed herself in it, even on days when
a mosquito netting would have been
too warm a covering. She temporarily
reverted TO the cave-woman.
The furriers, however, need not
spend sleepless nights wondering
where their rent is to be obtained,
for paradise is opening to them. Fur,
and again fur, and still more fur, is
the slogan of the fashion-makers.
AS to Neckpieces.
There may not be a great quantity
OF neckpieces worn, as fashion does
not indicate any loose covering for
the shoulders that will hide their
lines, but so much fur is demanded
elsewhere that it is more probable the
furriers will spend sIeepless nights
wondering where to get it.
The cuffs, for instance, on every
jacket are now muffs. They extend
to the elbows and fare to a width of
eight and ten inches at the hands.
This is a part of the Russian inf1u-
ence, and there is every reason to be-
heve that these immense belI-shaped
accessories will be sought by every
woman who likes to take up the ex-
IRENE thing.
In addition to such lavish use of
peltry on the sleeves, the hens Of
skirts, as well as jackets, are smoth-
cred in bands of fur. Evening wraps
are in the nature of Russian coats,
and one of the newest, by Callot, has
entire sleeves of fur that are shaped
out from the shoulders into a great

Advance for Russian Women.

The women's cause in Russia has
made a big advance today by the
council Of ministers approving the
plan of the minister of education to
throw open the doors of certain uni
versities to them. Heretofore the edu-
cation of women has been much re
stTicted, the higher schools and univer-
stiles being practically closed to all
but an occasional special student.
Now. thanks to the war and the con-
seQuent shortage of men in the pro
fessions, women are to be admitted to
the law, scientific and medical schools.

TWO Sides.

Dressmaking and millinery and jew
eler's work are honorable crafts when
they aim at beauty and simplicity
and suitableness. They can be serYiIe
when they simply set out to tempt
their customers into extravaganza and
eccentricity. But without laboring
the point one may lay down the gen
eral principle that there is all the
difference in the world between max
ing the things which are wanted and
trying to induce people to want the
things that you make.

The New French Ribbons.

Paris finds, for one thing, that rib
bons made this year are of a very in
feTior quality. The French ribbon in
dustry, it seems, was largely carried
on by men. The men went to war and
women went into the ribbon factories.
They are doing their best, but as vet
the best ribbons they can turn out are
inferior to the ribbons the Paris dress
makers desire.
In some cases the dressmakers can
make silk take the place of ribbons.
But this poor quality of ribbons has
helped to decide the nature of the
trimming of autumn millinery.
