SIMPLE RULES FOR FIGURES
Remembering These, One May Always
Be Sure as to the Oivlsi-
biIity Of Numbers.

II is often convenient to know
whether a given number is divisible
by another without going through the
usual process OF division. Almost ev
eryone knows that, however large q
number may be, 1t is divisible by
IL the last digit is or 0. The follow
ing gives the rule for some other mum
bers:
A number is divisible by when the
last digit is divisible by 2; by three
when the sum OF the digits Is divisible
by 3; by 4 when the number repre-
sented by the last two digits is divis
ible by 4; by when the number ends
in 6 or o; by when II is divisible by
and also by 3; by s when the mum
ber represented by the last three dig
it's is divisible by g.; by 9 when the
sum OF the digits is divisible by 9.
For example: The number 1928 is
divisible by 2. because its last digit, s.
is divisible by 2; by 4. because 2s is
divisible by 4. and by 8. because 72s
Is divisible by c. IL is also divisible
by and by 9. for the sum Of its digits
totals 18. a number divisible by 3 and
by 8. Since 1t is divisible by 2 and
by 8, II Is also divisible by 6.
To find whether a number Is divis
ible by z. you must go through the
usual process OF division.-Youth 8

TURNS TALENT TO ACCOUNT
itentiary Has Done Some Excel
lent Decorative Work.

Albert Leon, who has been an In.
mate of the federal penitentiary ae
Leavenworth. Kan. for the last three
years. has turned to good account the
talent which enabled him to establish
reputation as one of the cleverest
counterfeiters the authorities ever dis
covered. He has decorated with
mural paintings and frescoes the into
rior of chapel and several other apart
ments connected with the prison. and
says he is enjoying the work.
Leon's career of crime and the cir
chapter In secret service annals which
surpasses in thrilling interest the
most absorbing of dime novels. He es-
tablished himself on the small island
of Nootka, in British Columbia. and
there set up complete counterfeiting
paraphernalia Leon not only was ex-
ceptionally expert in turning out ex-
cellent plates and prints, but was in
genious In passing counterfeits. He
turned loose different class Of coun-
terfeits in practically every Pacific
coast city and town and was extreme
ly successful in getting away" with
his spurious note. Finally the secret
service men rallied the island and
took Leon. Even this exploit was
eventful The secret service party was
wreckedsennd had to be rescued by .
revenue cutter.

In strength of fascination the mil
liners window displays have always
held first place, but now they have no
advantage over the displays OF new
footwear. Throngs OF shoppers seem
more eagerly interested these days in
the dainty and really wonderful shoes
that they study earnestly and with
much enthusiasm, than in any other
item of apparel. II is fact that i'm
stead of buying her shoes TO match her
gown many a careful dresser now buys
her gown to match her shoes, and
she was never quite so exQuisitely
clad as to her feet as she is today.
There are shoes for morning wear,
afternoon shoes, sports shoes, and eve
ming shoes. There are high-very
high-models, and plenty OF low shoes
for summer wear. Perhaps the most
novel of all the new footwear is TO be
found in the displays of sports shoes,
where comfort and "class" are so ef-
fective,y combined.
This specializing in shoes means
that women will spend more on foot
wear and wear II with more discrim-
ination as TO style than ever before.
The story Of spring shoes is long. and
the three examples of new models pic
tured here will only serve as a little
introduction to 1t. They are elegant and
authoritative selections, made by the
head of a house of national reputation.
AZ the left a pair of sports shoes are

A suit that is recommended by its
quiet Interpretation Of the new modes
is sure to be approved everywhere.
Those who demand strictly plain and
wearable things for the street will
like It and II will bear the scrutiny OF
those who insist upon its being up to
date. A model OF this description ap-
pears in the picture above.
This skirt and coat are adapted to
any of the accepted spring suitings-
serge. gaberdine. whipcord, etc, in
plain cloths, and the shepherds
checks and Callot checks that are
equally popular. It's skirt is very full,
with a panel effect down the front,
having inverted plaits at each side
and a group OF three box plaits at
each side of the back. II is one OF
the longest OF the new models and
might be shorter with good effect.
Rumors of skirts considerably length
,ened have failed to make good in
spring suits, although the new skirts
are not quite 80 short rs those OF the
past season.
The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1916-03-24

The fullness OF the peplum is placed
in positions corresponding with those
that dispose OF the fullness in the
skirt. The panel front OF the skirt is
also repeated in the coat. The shaped
coatsleeves are perfectly plain and
the coat is fastened with cloth-covered
buttons, a little to one side OF the
front A small cape and narrow stand
ing collar acknowledge the strength
of the cape idea in spring fashions
and make the best possible finish for
the plain neck.
The leather-covered sailor hat with
leather ornaments worn with this
suit is strictly in keeping with it,
plain and up to date. made for utility
without neglecting style. Gloves and
shoes bespeak the same ideas as gov.
erning their design. In this outfit one
may be conscious OF being correctly
turned out as to tailored clothes.

shown. They are made of Russian
calf, in either black or brown. and are
cut with seam up the back and no
other seams except those whore the
sidepieces are stitched to the toe
piece. The tongue is sewed TO this
piece. The narrow perforations are
merely decorative and they also serve
TO give graceful lines to this marvel OF
smart comfort. The shoe has low
and broad heel and an inconspicuous
extension to the sole. This is a sensi-
BILE and intensely practical shoe, quite
as smart as the more spectacular
shoes of buckskin in which white and
tan. white and bright green, and white
and black are combined.
The beautifully finished high after.
noon boot is made OF black patent
leather and white kid. Il is also
shown with uppers in light gray and
in putty color. Neat rows of machine.
stitching prove an adornment, as tho
eyes for lacing do. because OF tho quail
ity of workmanship evident in them.
The low shoes of black kid. with
kid-covered buckle at the front. are the
last word in that elegance that fash.
ion demands-at any price. They
may be taken as a criterion, and sim.
liar styles measured up by compari.

FEMALE LABOR USED
IN BUILDING TRADES

Especial Gable TO The Times-DiSpatch.]
BERLIN. August 26-German en-
ploycrs of labor have availed Them
selves of the temporary suspension Of
the law forbiddine the employment OF
female labor in the building Industries
with great readiness.
In East Prussia, according to re-
ports received here, much female LABOR
is now employed in rebuilding what
was destroyed during the Russian in
vasion of that province, In Silcsia,
women actually dominate the building
industry. Strong complaints come from
Upper Silcsia that not only young wo-
men. but girls who are scarcely more
than children. do the heaviest kind Of
work.
In Kocnigshucttc young girls carry
bricks upon their backs TO the upper
stories. In Bismarckshuette women
work at dizzy heights in the construc-
ton OF the new administrative build
ings. In Berlin and the surrounding
part of the country women are largely
employed in constructing the under
ground railroad and scwcrs and on
many state and municipal buildings.
In other eases women have been en-
ploycd in the transport Of material and
in working the military railroads., the
employers salving their consciences by
the plea that it is, after all, a CHART,
to give employment of any kind TO
the wives OF soldiers.
In SaXony. where female labor in the
building industry has been hitherto
unknown, large numbers OF women and
girls are now being employed and these
are very often compelled to share their
living quarters with the male en-
ployccs. In the Industrial districts OF
Westphalia, rs well rs I'm the con-
struction of the Mittclland Canal In
Hanover. numerous women. mostly for
eigncrs, are working under very ques-
tionablc housing conditions.
The employers prefer female labor.
because women are paid so per cent
less than the scheduled wages for men.
The same conditions obtain in Bavaria.
while the southwestern part OF the
empire seems still unaffected.
