New Idea for Paris Salon.

A dispatch from Paris to the New
York Herald contains the statement
that when the next salon is held posi-
bly, section will be devoted to mill
linery and dressmaking. The idea, it
is said, is put forward by M. Delville,
Paris municipal councillor. He holds
that often there is as much artistic
fancy and skill in a woman's toilette
or q new hat model as in a picture or
piece of sculpture. He asks why one
Of these characteristic products Of
Partisan taste and Imagination should
not have place in the salon, where
goldsmlths' work and other branches
of decorative art are always exhibited,
and attract as much attention as
paintings. The dressmaker and mil
liner will have come into their own
when for creations" in gowns and
hats they can claim medals such as
were awarded to Rosa Bonheur. What
ever the basis for the report which
the Herald prints, certainly it indi-
Gates a jaunty spirit Of confidence
reignlng, in spite Of the war, In the
breasts Of French costume makers.

SAVED BY HELMETS
MANY SOLDIERS OWE LIVES TO
STEEL HEADPIEcEs.
Bullets From Rifles and Machine
Guns, as Well as shrapneI, Glance
From the Protection, Doing
Wearer Little Harm.

Fame awaits the man who resurrect-
I'd the steel helmets. He's saved thou
sands of lives.
The great Anglo-Frenchj offensive
on the western front has served to
confirm all that has been limited about
the ugly inverted soup-bowl head
gear, writes London correspondent.
In almost every London hospital today
are men who wore them in the big
push-men who wouldn't be there If
they hadn't.
1t Is safe to say that thousands of
British lives have been saved by the
steel helmet during the last few
weeks. Consequently, thousands Of
slightly wounded men in London hos
pitfalls already are looking forward
to the day when they'll return to the
front.
An officer Of the Royal Irish rifles,
formerly London journalist, is
thanking his helmet for the fact that
he is merely light casualty instead
Of dead one. A bullet struck the
steel hat ut the band in front, plowe6
a furrOw along the slope and bent the
visor over one eye. A few badly
bruised facial muscles were the only
III effects.
An officer Of the Royal Scots, by
virtue of his helmet and a strong
frontal bone, completely stopped az
enemy bullet. Just before his bat
TALON left the trenches he peered
over the parapet. A bullet struck the
Inverted rim of the helmet and
thumped against the officers fore
head. It made a nasty brulse. A
fellow officer near by tested his he'll
met with shrapnel. A jagged piece
Of steel richocheted off one side and
tore half the band off in the opera
ton. Otherwise it would have been

An officer Of the Lincoln regiment

that he felt and heard machine bull

came q little low and clipped his
cheek bone, so he had to come back
to London for repairs.
A lieutenant Of an East Lancashire
battalion had his helmet literally shot
off his head.
'TwO German pills must have hit
In the same place." he said, because
one came through and burrowed along
my scalp"
This officer, like hundreds of his col
leagues of the steel-hatted army, will
be back in the war game within a
month-thanks to the Frenchman who
months ago studied pictures Of an
cient warfare and was impressed with
the headgear of sixteenth century
warriors.
Steel hats press the head, are hot
and have to be fastened under the
chin with a leather strap. But Brit

for having undergone the incOn-

Brouillard's antagonist in the game of
hardihood changed his tactics.
Forget it," he growled morosely.
What do you want this timer"
Il want you to send q wire to Red
Butte telling the smelter people that
you will be glad to have them handle

And If do?"
"If you do, two things otherwise due

ington delegation, and / think I can
promise that Harlan won't make a

Mr.. Cartwright thrust the other arm
into the remaining coat sleeve and
scowled. But the rebound to the norm
of brusque good nature came almost
Immediately.

Brouillard, and that's no joke. have
a large respect for a man who can out
bid me in my own corner. You ought
to be In business-and you will be,
some time. I'll send the wire, but
warn you in advance that can't make
the smelter people take Massingale's
ore If they don't want to. All can do
is to give the old man free field"
THAT is all he will ask-all I'll ask,
except one small personal favor: Don't
rub your masquerading Washington
delegation into me too hard. A fine
quality Of noninterference Is about all
you are buying from me-"
Tell me one thing, Brouillard:

game? Are you silent partner In the

Then why are you so anxious to
make old David a rich man at my ex-
pense? Are you going to marry the
girl?"
The engineer did not resent the ques-
ton as he would have resented 1t a
few weeks earlier. Instead he smiled
and said: "A little while ago, Mr..
Cartwright, told you that you didn't
know men; now I'll add that you don't
know women"

nsaved DAYLIGHT" 40 Years

Monson, in Maine, wonders why
there is so much ado about the day
light saving" plan. According to the
Youths Companion, about 40 years ago
someone in the town suggested that 1t
would be good thing for the work
ers In the slate quarries to gain an
hour Of daylight by going to work an
hour earlier in the morning and stop
ping work an hour earlier at night.
The town adopted the suggestion, but
instead Of changing the working hours
It set the clocks. ahead. Through all
the years since then the clocks Of
Monson have been. an hour ahead Of
the clocks In other Maine towns.

Public opinion, skillfully formed up
on models fashioned in Mayor Cort-
wrlght's municipal laboratory, dealt
handsomely with the little group of
widely-heralded visitors-the CON
gressional committee" When it was
whispered about, some days before the
suspicious arrival, that the visiting
lawmakers wished for no public DEM
onstration Of welcome, it was resolved,
both in the city council and in the
Commercial club, that the wish should
be rigidly respected.
Hence, after the farewell banquet at
the Commercial club, at which even
the toasts had ignored the official mis-
sion of Mayor Cortwright's guests, tin
Cling curiosity still restrained itself,
said nothing and did nothing until the
train had stormed out on the begin
ming of its steep climb to War Arrow
pass. Then the barriers went down. In
less than half an hour after the depar-
ture Of the visitors, the Spotlight Of
fee was besieged by eager tip hunters,
and the Metropole cafe and lobby were
thronged and buzzing like the compart-
ments Of an anxious beehive.
Harlan stood the pressure at the
newspaper office as long as he could.
Then he slipped out the back way.
There was light in Brouillard's Office
on the sixth floor of the Niquoia build
ing, and thither he went, hoping
against hope, for latterly the chief of
the reclamation service had been more
than usually reticent.
What do you know, Brouillard?"
was the form his demand took.
GO to Cartwright" suggested the
engineer. He's your man."
Just come from him, and couldn't
get thing there except his admission
that he is buying instead of selling"
well, what more do you want?
Haven't you any imagination?"
Plenty of 1t, and, by Cad, I'm going
to use 1t unless you put 1t to sleep!
Tell me O few correlative things,
Brouillard, and I'll make a noise like
going away. Is 1t true that you've had
orders from Washington within the
past few days to cut your force on the
dam one-half?"
The engineer was playing with the
paperknife, absently marking little cir
cles and ellipses on his desk blotter,
and the ash on his cigar grew full
quarter of an inch before he replied:
mot for publication, Harlan, I'm
sorry to say"
But you have the order?"
"Yes."
Good. Then I'll ask only one more
question, and If you answer it at all l
know you'll tell me the truth: Are
you, individually, buying or selling on
the real estate exchanged"
Brouillard did take time, plenty of it.
Harlan was student of men, but his
present excitement was against him
Otherwise he would have interpreted
differently the sudden hardening Of the
jaw muscles whom Brouillard spoke.
I'm buying, Harlan; when sell II

DEPRESSED Debater.

Heres an interesting quotation
from the Latin" remarked the student.
II don't want to hear it." replied
Farmer Corntossel.
"But it relates to current political
discussion"
"That's. jes' where I quit. They've
rung Latin into law, medicine an even
into agriculture. If I've got to be a
Latin scholar to talk politics, I'm ready
to quit conversation entirely"
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1916-09-14

The newspaper man rose and held
out his hand.
you're man and q brother, Brouil-
lard, and I'm your friend for life. I'm
going to stay until you give me the
high sign to crawl out on the bank. Is
that asking too much?"
mo. II the time ever comes when
have anything to say, I'll say it to you.
But don't lose sight Of the H. and
don't lean too hard on me. I'm a
mighty uncertain quantity these days,
Harlan, and that's the truest thing I've
told you since you butted in. Good
night"
Mirapolis awoke to full sense Of
its opportunities on the morning fol-
lowing the departure of its distin-
guished guests By ten o'clock 1t was
the talk OF the Hobbies, the club, and
the exchanges that the reclamation
service was already abandoning the
work on the great dam. One-haK Of
the workmen were to be discharged at
once, and doubtless the other half
would follow as soon as the orders
could come from Washington.
Appealed to by a mob Of anxious in
quirers, Brouillard did not deny the
fact of the discharges, and thereupon
the city went mad in Juror Of specu-
lative excitement in comparison with
which the orgy Of the gold discov-
erers paled into insignificance. Curb"
exchanges sprang into being in the
Metropole lobby, in the court Of the
Niquoia building, and at dozen street
corners on the avenue. Word went to
the placers, and by noon the miners
had left their sluice-boxes and were
pouring into town to buy options at
prices that would have staggered the
widest plunger otherwhere, or at any
other time.
Brouillard closed his desk at one
o'clock and went to fight his way
through the street pandemonium to
Bongras'. At table in the rear room
he found David Massingale. his long,
white beard tucked into the closely
buttoned miners coat to be out of the
way of the flying knife and fork, while
he gave a lifelike imitation of man
begrudging every second Of time
wasted in stopping the hunger gap.
Brouillard took the opposite chair
and was grimly amused at the length
of time that elapsed before Massingale
realized his presence.
"Pity man has to stop to eat on a
day like this, isn't 1t, Mr.. Massingale?"
he laughed; and then: "How is
Steve?"
Massingale nodded. THE boys
comm along all right now. They're
sayin' on the street that you're lettin'
out half o. your men-that so?"
Brouillard laughed again. Eyes, it's
true. Have you been doing something
in real estate this morning, Mr. Mas
singale?"
"All 1 could" mumbled the old man
between mouthfuls. But l cayn't do
much. II it amt one thing, it's an
other. Bout as soon as l got that
tangle with the Red Butte smelter
Strengthened out, the railroad hit me"
How was that?" queried Brouillard,
with quickening interest coming alive
at bound.
Same old song, no cars; try and get
'em tomorruh, and tomorruh it'll be
next day, and next day it'll be the day
after. Looks like they don't want to
haul any freight out o. here"
Il see," said Brouillard, and truly
he saw much more than David Mas
singale did. Then: mo shipments
