WAR INCREASES
 EXPORTS OF IRELAND

Dublin, Ireland, May 10-Irish ex- ports have increased iderab1yi on account of the war. The official re- turns just completed for the year 1914 show 8 total of 77.3O0,0O0 pounds, an increase of three and a, half million pounds over 1918. The increase is due almost entirely to the shipbui1d- ing at Belfast
 It is a. curious feature of the report that although 54 per cent. of the Irish exports are represented by farm pro duce and foodstuffs, thirty seven per cent. of Ireland's 73,OQO,0O0 pounds of import should be food. and the de- partnhent of agriculture comments pointedIy on the fact that a food-pro- ducing country should be annually importing great quantities of farm produce, much of which is admirably suited for raising at home.
 On the whole the report is regard ed as a gratifying record of continued progress in Irelafld. In addition to the increase in exports, the decade has also witnessed an increase in ina- ports by 35 per cent. in value and twelve per cent. in bulk. The total imports and exports Of Ireland, in fact, now represent a higher per capi- ta value thaR the average for the Uni ted kindon, the United States, France or Germany

THE TOWN BEAUTIFUL MOVIE
 NENT.

The real estate promoter is neces- sary element in town deve1opm ent.
 His faith in the town and enterprise
 as an investor makes a place grow,
 He takes chances with his funds, and
 his adver tising pushes a. town along. But his laying out of new tracts of
 land is not always conducive to town
 beauty.
 There has been a great tendency to cut up land into too small houselots. Outlying tracts may be worth but a l small sum per square foot. There is plenty of room for lawn and garden for each house. But the dealer may think that one 50 foot lot would not bring nearly as much m oney as two
 of thirty foot frontage each.
 Real estate auctions, with gift fea-
 lures, balloons, band concerts, etc, have been a feature of development in many places. If they induce people toF buy tiny little lots to be covered Ifater with insignificant little congesr- ed dwellings, they do not promote the Town Beautiful Movement.
 Thickly. placed houses on little lots give an Impression of poverty. The people are too close to each other. There is no, elbow room. Children. dogs. and hens roam at will in 8 1 thickly settled district. It becomes impossible to develop flowers or
 shrubbery If grass is planted, the 1@SN O4 S1AA4u@S4A SClSHAiA5 HI vain for a real playground, soon wear lit out.
 The cutting up of real estate is a difficult matter to control by law. If 1 it could be well regulated, it would be. blessing, but public sentiment is hostile to much interference with pri- vate property.
 People should exercise more sense in choice Of homes. Let them insist on decent sized house lots. A hun ] dred or two added to cost of land, fol- | lowed by planting of grass and shrubs and trees, will add many times the additional cost to the value of the property

les This Fetching Blouse.

the waist, as shown here, the most modish lace to select is flet, 1A yards 5 inch vide being required for the waist section and E yard all- over insertion 18sinches wide for the collar, Two yards 36-inch crepe will make the waist, if plain satin be used for the vest and deep cuffs.
 If desired. a cape of lace or chiffon may be added, as many of the smart est separate waists feature this trim ming. It is necessary to- study the guide carefully before attempting to cut the waist Note that the front and sleeve are laid on an open width of material while the Waistband is placed along the edge.
 If cape is added, N yard extra of material will be required and to avoid seams the capes must be laid on a lengthwise fold of material, as shown in sections s.Fs" and s'E'' on the guide. The back is placed in the same way, leaving the shoulder piece and the cuff to be laid on Ienethiwse thread of material
 There are many ways of finishing the neck and this season, all of them attractive. The percentage of high necked arrangements is small. Wo- men do not sacrifice comfort to fash ion as lavishly as they once did and high necked waists are an abomfna- ton in hot weather. The cape and the standing turn-down collar seem to be the most popnIar compromises between high and low effects.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD
AT LYRIC THEATER
T0DAY-TOMORROW

THE Old Homestead the greatest
rural drama ever written. in which
the late Denman Thompson starred
for over thirty years, has at last been
adapted as feature play by the Fa-
nous Players Film company by spec
ial arrangement with Frank Thomp-
son, son and heir OF the author-actor
This great American classic will he
seen as Paramount picture at the
Lyric theater today and tomorrow.
Through the active cooperation Of
the younger Thompson. the producers
have been able to preserve to re-
markable degree the atmosphere and
spirit of the original play. This was
accomplished by means OF photo
graphs of the first Josh Whitcomb
and Of the costumes worn by the va
rious members of the supporting east.
or special Importance in this connec-
ton was the obtaining of permission
to nse the old Thompson homestead
IN New Hampshire, which was the
setting depicted in the original play,
rs the background Of the film. Direct
or james kirkwood and his company
went to the old New England village !
where he spent several weeks in pho
tographing scenes in ana about the |
Thompson farm and in the outlying I
country where there still exists to a /
remarkable degree the same interest /
ing and delightful types that were /
found by Thompson when he wrote
The play three decades ago. Even the
interior of the Thompson home was
used for some of the scenes which I
transpire in the house
Another interesting link between
he stage and the screen lies in the
fact that old Grace church, which APP
peared in painted canvas as a back
irop in the original presentation of
he play, serves as the actual back
'round for the corresponding scenes
