POWERFUL BLOWS LAND
 BRITISH GERMAN LINES

LONDON, Sept. 15.-Powerful blows were delivered by the British forces when they again resumed the attack along the west front north of the Somme making wide advance going ahead over a mile to- wards and including Bordeaux, the German land fort, northwest of Combles on the bert-Baupaume road and beyond; the heavy gains were made in advance of Theipval where the Germans offered fine resistance.
 The new armored car now in ac- tion on the west front is proving itself wonder, and is battering down opposition before the trenches and entanglements with very slight loss of life. The aero guns with which these marvellous cars are fitted brought down five German aeros and damaged four German planes.

SEATTLE, Sept. 14.-Ed Ward today succeeded J. c. Ford as prese- dent of the Pacific Coast Steamship Co. Both men refused to comment upon the change in the presidency. Ward has been Vice President of the company, to which position he rose after but eight years with the con- cern.
 Newspapers here are at loss to explain the change in the presidency of the company in the absence or any statement from either Ward or Ford. The bald announcement of Wards appointment being all that is given out for publication. It is however said that Wards succession indicates important changes in the concern.

ICE BILL AN ExTRAVAGANcE
Americas Annual Consumption, Il Is
Declared, Nearly Matches Rest
Of the World.

One of our little extravagances
which has grown into a mountain is
ice. The amount of ice an American
consumes and wastes is prodigious.
Not counting the natural ice har-
vested for tho millions Of our rural
population, machines last year made
$50 pounds of ice for everybody.
Each of us uses a half more ice now
than he did six years ago. Our an
nual ice bill is away above the ma
toms debt when Washington became
president. And see how it is wasted
Ask your hotel or club waiter for a
glass Of water md what do you get ?
A tumblerful of ice. 1t seems as
if the trust were forever at your ell
bow shoveling ice into your glass.
Years ago someone wrote that it cost
$4,000 year to have ice water in
every room in the house.
Since then ice poured over us in
an ever-rising glacier. Americas ice
bill nearly matches that for the rest
of the world.

Economical Might Of the United states
Shown by It's Per Capita Con-
sumption Of Coal.

The index Of country's indus
trial standing, as formerly recog-
nized, was its consumption of sui
phuric acid, the nation that pro-
duced and consumed the most of this
chemical substance in her arts and
industries being accounted the most
prosperous; and, judged by this
standard, Great Britain was for a
long time reckoned the leading ma
ton of the world. According to the
Scientific American, however, a new
and more accurate standard is now
employed--a nations coal consump-
ton per capita; and, judged by this
standard, the United States, with a
per capita consumption of five tons,
stands at the head, outclassing both
Great Britain and Germany, who are
second in the scale, with an equal
consumption of four tons per capita.
France stands third, being credit
ed with consumption of only 1.6
tons, while Russia, with its abound
ing population and great extent of
territory, is away down on the scale
of industrial progress, having only
one-quarter ton per capita to her
credit.
These figures are convincing of the
fact that the United States has
preponderating advantage over other
countries in the strength of its in
dustries, the most important consid-
Grafton in the question of prepared
ness for war or peace.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

They determined to wait for the
half-price sales to buy it. They
would save much money thereby.
So, when the sales were announced
they started out to find child's bed
and mattress.
Everywhere the price was too high.
Finally only two stores were left.
At the first one charming little bed
was found-and the price was right,
too, but the price of the mattress was
rather exorbitant, they felt.
So, away to the last remaining
store they went. There they found
the same mattress-and it was so
cents less in price than the next-to-
the last store had asked.
Then they saw the bed-the same
bed as in the other store-but so
cents higher in price.

Improved Handling Of Military Hospl-
tails Is Reported to Have Had Most
Gratifying Results.

Amidst the never-ceasing reports
of the tremendous loss Of life occa-
stoned by the present European war
there has been a growing curiosity
to know just how many of the
wounded who are brought back to
the hospitals recover. In previous
wars, where the instruments of death
we're less thorough, it was known
that the death rate in military hos
pitfalls was about 80 per cent.
DR.. Jacques Bertillon, who is 'in
charge Of the medico-surgical statis-
tics for the entire French army, has
Just stated that the mortality at pres
ent is only 2 per cent. His figures,
made up and averaged from the re-
ports from all French military hospi-
tails, at last give an authoritative an
swer to American dusTies- &c says:
"0ut of every 100 patients at present
being received and treated at our
hospitals SO are sent away on recov-
cry"
Toward the first of the war the
mortality was as per cent, he states,
but since the improvement of the
medical service and the discovery of
a remarkable number of new treat
ments the advantage of science has
been materially increased.

is quilted inside and out with softest silk, white or pale pink or blue. There are two mattresses or pillows, also covered with quilted silk and a quilted silk coverlet is ready to throw over the little bed, when embroidered linen sheets and fairy-soft blankets have been added. A hood of shirred silk over adjustable hoops finishes the cart -bassinet which may be drawn from room to room, and "joggled" gently by the handle when baby is fractious and refuses to slip off to dreamland. A little cart recently dis played is very luxurious affair in the fashionable Dutch peasant type, with covering of quilted, pale blue silk on which were appliqued prim, con-
 ventional hollyhocks in pale pink and pale green. The coverlet was appli- qued to match the shirred hood of green silk-now considered best for baby's eyes which must be shielded from the sudden glare of electric lights within doors, as well as from too strong sunlight out-of-doors.
 Most luxurious is the wicker ward. robe in which almost the whole lay cite may be slowed away in silk-wad- ded baskets and cupboards. This is 8 large and very handsome wardrobe of cream enameled wood and wicker with cane-paneled door having sill yer knob and lock. The top of the wardrobe has beveled glass slab over 8 pale blue satin cover, and the dainty night lamp of cream colored plaster

For winter mornings in the boudolr Is the peignoir of corduroy with border trimming of fur. Corduroy lounging robes are coming more and more into favor. They are warm, yet not too heavy in weight for grace and they have more elegant and lux urious suggestion than even the most expensive wool blanket cloth. This corduroy negligee pictured is in soft shade of electric blue and the fur is dyed fox. A very pretty line is given at the back by running the knotted girdle through slashes at the side seams, confning the folds of the gar ment at the front while the back hangs in straight folds from the shoul- ders. The negligee is cut from two yard-wide breadths of the corduroy, scanned at the sides and the kimono sleeves are heightened by sections of the material set on without shaping. This gives line of loose grace and comfort over shoulder and arm. Cor duroy in rose pink makes more dainty peignoir and the material may be washed without need of ironing if the fur trimming is removed first. More brilliant shades, like cerise, coral

 Brocaded Satin For Very Exclusive
 Peignoirs.
 Costly materials make their way into the boudoir for morning robes, when the boudoir Is very sumptu- ous apartment; even chiffon velvet is used for trousseau negligees, as wit ness a trailing peignoir of peach pink chiffon velvet trimmed with white fox fur, and a gorgeous affair for bru- nette type of gold colored velvet edged with black fox and having a deep col lar of cream colored lace. For the boudoir also is a peignoir of Chinese blue brocaded satin, draped in long folds about the figure and caught up in single fastening at the left hip under big knotted ornament of the brocade. A wide collar of cream batiste, embroidered by hand, lies fiat on the shoulders and extends below

IA EVER yet lived the mother who
 did not yearn to spend every
 cent her purse could afford on U ~ wearables and creature com forts in process of preparation for the eagerly awaited little stranger, so soon to occupy first place in importance in her world. And the prospective mother wishes on the little strangers layette finds ready for her delectation new and hitherto undreamed kingdom of beautiful and fascinating things things almost, if not quite, wonderful enough for the most wonderful baby the world will ever know.
 Royalty itself could not outfit a much desired princeling in any more sumptuous style than falls to the lot of many husky little American youngster without drop of proud blue blood in its veins. All that is re- quired is money-and plenty of it- to provide baby with every luxury that is from bassinet draped with rose point lace to rattle of carved ivory set with a diamond in the handle. Not in a lace and ribbon trimme ed basket. however, reposes the fashion able infant of the moment. Lace trimmed bassinets are of course all very well and quite pretty affairs, but the really smart couch for baby's slumbers now is a quilted Dutch cart on wheels; cumbersome, clumsy lit- tie cart to be sure, but inestimably smart, if you will.

shoulders. To this foundation the full petticoat of tucked net Is attached un- der a wide pink satin girdle which draws in the garment slightly to the figure above the waistline. Net sleeves. edged with pink ribbon are attached to the shoulder straps, and over all goes the coquettish jacket of pleated lace with its collar of pleated flesh pink satin.
 Swansdown is such lovely trimI ming for negligees that 1t must not be overlooked. Its best effect is in combination with lustrous, pale tinted silk, though it is used also with chif- ion and crepe, and even with lace. A particularly pretty breakfast sacque of ciel blue satin meteor has 6 straight, tall collar edged with swans down, wide, turned back cuffs edged with swansdown, and buttons of swansdown-added only as ornament and not intended for use.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-01-02

Another dainty sacque reveals itself in the picture exploiting particularly an elaborate breakfast cap in Dutch style. The sacque is of pink Georgette crepe over pink satin meteor, and the trimming is silver-threaded lace, with silver fringe on the sleeve and silver and pink silk roses at the corsage.
 Wondrous Petticoat Wear for the
 Boudoir.
 The abbreviated sacque calls for a petticoat of equally luxurious type indeed the petticoat is four-ffths of the complete effect, as the skirt or any costume always is. In Fifth avenue window this last week were displayed some negligees for Palm Beach-just ordinary negligees of the fashionable woman but especially ex- plotted because everybody is buying new clothes now for the southland Hitting. One of the prettiest combi- nations in the window was sacque
