PARIS. April 9.-The war has caused
q crisis In the affairs Of the Mont de
Piete in France and in the interest of
fits millions OF clients. as well as of the
famous institution itself. the govern
mont Is being urged to take action.
A decision was taken some time back
by the French authorities not to allow
the Mort dc Piete. during tho contin-
uance OF the war. to sell any of the ar
tlcles placed in pawn bv its clients.
This step was prompted by admira BILE
motives. but unfortunately II has ad-
vcrsely reacted upon the wives and

the front-the verv persons IL was
meant to serve. The interest rate was

German Rifle Factories
Triple Normal Output

LONDON. April 9.-Before the war
Germany's capacity in rifle manufac-
ture was only about third of what 1t
Is today. In peace times she could
turn out under pressure a maximum OF
200 rifles a day.
But these figures are based on a nor
NAL ten-hour cav. II we assume both
tnat the factories are going night and
day and production has been speeded
up. the OUTPUT cannot now be less than
1000 to 7.200 rifles a day. or between
$4,000 and 3.750.000 rifles a year.

must have color next her face.
 The size and shape of the ruff should be adjusted to the require- ments of the wearer. A woman with a long, slender neck may wear as tall ruff as she fancies; the short-necked woman must be more careful. Even short neck can stand high ruff if the shoulders are sloping. The woman with square, high shoulders. especially if her figure be not very tall, should leave fluffy neck fri1ls alone for they will certainly cut off her height and give her thick, clumsy appearance.
 Black malines over white makes an attractive ruff for wear with black and white striped tailored suit, or one in gunmetal tones. Gray over white is also a pleasing combination. The two strips of malines should be of equal length and breadth, both mate rials being taken up together in each pleat. First there is a pleating of black; next pleating of white (used double); then comes a narrow gath cred strip of black (also double) and through this runs the twisted black satin ribbon which stays the ruff at the center. The ribbon is knotted into a bow at each end and under the bow

BRIDGE SETS FOR SUMMER
 NEEDLEWORK.

WHITE linen bridge set of table,
 IN cloth and four napkins will be a 4 \ delightfully."- easy and very accep- table gift for some friend next Christ mas, and these sets are easy to fashion on the summer porch, requiring no close attention like involved crochet or knitting patterns. The table cover should be a yard square and the nap kins about twelve inches square. Se- lect a fine, firmly woven linen and finish all edged with roll and whip. whipping the roll twice. in opposite directions to give cross-stitch effect. Black and red is a smart combination for the whipped edge, or one may use one color--pale blue. raspberry pink or any preferred shade. In one corner of the cover put little basket design in cross stitch or French knot effect, and tiny basket to match on each of the four napkins.

Sport Footwear Important

T1 FRY gay are the new sport stock All ings in striped and checked pat " terms. The colors are bright, yet not too bright and the sporty stock ings give just the right note in a well thought out sport costume. Some of these stockings have drops c h stripes alternating with wider stripes in color on a ground of colored silk. Others are in checked pattern half way up the leg and above that plain. These fancy sport stockings are worn with high or low-laced sport shoes of tan calf or the soft, supple glazed kid; or of white glazed kid with effective trimming of blue or green glazed kid White canvas sport shoes are perfectly correct for tennis or yachting wear if one prefers them, but the elaborate sport costume of silk and silk jersey demands something more distinctive in footwear and the dainty -colored, trimmed shoes exactly meet this need
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-07-02
Airy trifles these, but they add great distinction to the summer costume.


 distinction to the summer costume. the ruff fastens with a snap button, the two bows coming together to make one rosette which may be worn under one ear or even at the back.
 The foundation of every ruche Of this sort is light stiffening fabric which keeps the ruche crisply in posi- tion around the throat. A wire or hoop of any kind should never be used In tulle neck ruff.
 The cape-ruff on~the contrary. will be much smarter for an invisible featherbone brace at the back of the collar portion which must stand up to make a background for the face. One handsome model is made of black tulle. or malines, the cape portion cuts in circular effect so that it nipples at the back. Narrow. pleated black tulle frills are sewed to this circular cape. across in rows, and all around the edge. The collar is made of the nar- row pleatings overlapping each other. The collar ruff of white tulle, with black ribbon ties is an excellent model for a short-necked woman.

drop petticoat of white net. This pet ticoat has deep silver lace flounce which shows four inches of itself be- low the tucked up drapery. High heeled dancing slippers of pale lilac glazed kid and silk stockings in the same shade will accompany this frock
 Kid Slippers Favored This Year.
 Fashion Is turning from satin danc- ing slippers to kid ones this summer and certainly the new slippers of soft, ble than satin ones which never give real comfort unless one purchases them somewhat too large to fit the foot neatly. The glazed kid slipper clings to the foot like an eelskin and one is conscious of it no more than of the skin itself. Since one may ob- tain glazed kid dancing slippers in al- most any shade desired-or even have them dyed to order-there is good reason for their popularity. Bronze dancing slippers and silver slippers come in for their share of popularity also. With an all-black evening frocll the only possible slippers are of course black satin ones. or black patent leather models of distinct slipper form and not suggesting pumps.
 Slippers and stockings are very conspicuous on the dancing floor just now because of the shortness of skirts, and though there is decided tendency in Paris to lengthen skirts little, the increased length has not yet reached the ankle. The pink satin and silver frock pictured today, a Doucet model gives the correct length for dancing skirts in Paris at the moment. The turquoise and silver frock is about the same length. This frock is by Callot and one observes that Callot has not forgotten the inevitable little train dance frocks. The longest skirt on to- days page is the one made of tulle l fiounces, but perhaps this couturiere salved his conscience, after slipping away more than conventional amount of bodice, by adding extra ma terial to the skirt. In any case this Is a very likable frock for dancing on a summers night. The tulle f1ounces, mounted on a tulle skirt, with a hooped net foundation skirt beneath, should be light, as feath- CT to dance in. and whatever else it is, the bodice should certainly prove cool! The rather daring decol- letage, however, is only at the back, kthe surpliced fronts having a modest V cut. Each front, at the waistline appears to escape below a flat bow of blue velvet in a riot of cascade drapery which tumbles down the side of the tulle skirt. Did I mention that the bodice is of shimmering pale blue silk with little silver brocaded figures ? Featherbone is inserted in the seams to give a trim waisted effect at the front and under the arms The al- most bare simplicity of the sleeve cut is an interesting detail

ful youngster bent on getting mother or nurse back again by fair means or foul--if it is one of the new bed time dolls, attached to long loop of ribbon which is slipped around the child's neck. These dolls are made of soft kid and the printed color on the face and costume cannot be sucked off. Teddy bears are as much beloved as ever as bedtime comforters. New and also very lovable, however, are the white fox-terrier puppies initiating the famous photograph dog who listens to His Masters Voice."

 neck fixings, but their value as a dress accessory is immeasur- ~ - able. A 12-inch strip of pleated malines that weighs practically noth- ing in the hand, has a style value around the throat-which can lift a whole costume to distinction. One wears ones second best tailored suit nificant Add fresh, crisp tulle neck ruff and presto! one becomes distinct i've and smart in the twinkling of an eye. To the neck ruff add knowingly draped new veil, irreproachable new gloves and the last word in buttoned footwear of soft, glazed kid, with French heels; and ones costume will pass muster anywhere.
 For some reason or other neck ruff instantly imparts suggestion Of for mality to the costume. It is not suita- ble for wear with a sport suit, or a linen morning frock, or rainy-day at tire. It lends an aura of festivity and formality to its wearer and implies an occasion of fete nature-a social na- ture. One would not, for instance, don an airy tulle neck ruff with business costume if workaday affairs were the order of the moment.
 These perishable bits of chic are sadly expensive in the shops, but the mere materials for the making do not cost excessively and a little patience combined with an initiative eye is all that is needed to evolve very satis- factory neck fixing at home. The cape ruff will perhaps require more than little patience, and good deal of pleated malines must be purchased to make the rows of frilling, but when the ruff is finished one will have an accessory of incalculable value to lend distinction to summer tailleurs and frocks.
 Colored neck ruffs are being worn this season as well as black ones and white ones. but the airy black ruff seems always the smartest. whatever the general color of the costume. Even with white costumes. black tulle neck ruffs are indescribably chic.
 Taupe ruffs are very becoming to women with a good deal of color, but the gray tulle neck ruff Is a danger ous proposition against the face un-

Navy blue tulle ruffs are usually very becoming in conjunction with costumes of the same color-but be very sure the colors are perfectly matched or the ruff may spoil everything.

POLICE COMMISSIONERS
INSPECT HEADQUARTERS
CELLS FOR HOMELESS


President Stanley, Commissi oners
John E. Lyddy, George c. Peet. Rich
ard H. Murphy and superintendent
Eugene Birmingham of the police de-
partmeKt, led by Doorman James Hal
pin, examined the sleeping quarters
on the third floor of the police build
ing at IL o'clock last night.
The cold drove in 80 down. and
outs. Some brought blankets with
them. others had bundles of papers
and some slept on the bare cement
floor. In one cell there were four
men sleeping. three on the floor and
the fourth was asleep astride the 9TH
er three.
The first. pathetic sight witnessed
was in cell No. 8, where an unfortun-
ate was grooming and moaning suf-
fering from a. toothache. The suf-
ferer was hardly able to talk but let
it be known that he was suffering
from toothache.
The patient was taken to the emer-
gency hospital where DR.. E. 3. Wei
don removed the decayed molar.
The commissioners discovered that
the steampipes were leaking. A large
pool of water was on the floor. One
of the unfortunates was asleep in
the middle of the pool Of warm water.
Commissioner Lyddy bent down and
taking the man by the legs and then
the shoulders, lifted him to a dry
spot near the steampipes.
Police Commissio Stanley said
afterward that there should be a place
for the homeless to sleep.
A surprising feature was the fact
that one-third of the unfortunate men
lodged there were young men ranging
from the ages of 20 ito "a years.
