Maryland brown, which Paris
named not for the state, but be-
cause it is the name of a cheap
tobacco much used for cigarets.
Red especially the flame red
supposed to denote courage
be note in almost every costume.
C0lors Everywhere.
Black gowns will be worn, but
brilliant touch of color. either in
the costume itself or by the add
ton of gorgeous red or blue hat,
will be used, as there must be not
a hint of mourning.
Chinese mbroideries and col
ors will be used extensively in
collars and cuffs, and in some
cases for bands on skirts.
Dresses, with top coats added
for street wear, are the last word
from Paris, altho some of the old
reliable coats and skirts will still
be seen.
There is n whispered revi-
val of the Oid-fashiOned red
ingOte and the hustle, but
everything will emphasize the
slim silhouette.

NOW ABOUT HATS
Although most of our gowns
are still on ship coming over"
Jules Kurzman told me today, I'VE
have had a number of very stun
ming importations in hats"
AS he said this he put on a
model the CONNECTION of claret col
ored draped velvet shown on the
full-length figure in Mr.. Valen-
tines illustration.
With this was worn an ermine
cape trimmed with black monkey,
a claret colored velvet one-piece
suit with striped insets at the sides
of the skirt, and Chinese embroid-
cry in dull shades completed this
costume, which showed a generous
two inches of stockings above the
shoe tops.
Like Army Hat.
The hat on the young woman
who is driving with the French
officer arrived from Paris yester-
day and is designed as a compli-
ment to our boys lover there"
1t is of a blue velvet made to
simulate the crown of the service
hat worn by our privates.s The
French, however, have put four
blue bows in the crushed places.
The high collar worn by this young
woman is the. very latest mode.
The black velvet afternoon hat
at the left is one of the most stun
ming dress hats seen in the Kurz-
man imports. 1t is trimmed about
the edge with a soft band of os-
trich feathers with little ball
fringe of the same feathers hang
ing from the brim over the eyes.
Ostrich feathers are very good
this season, two out of three hats
being trimmed with them.
Furs Very High.
The walking hat design on the
figure in the background is of to-
bacco brown velvet, and the start
ling part Of it is three brown tas-
sells which hang directly in the
middle of the forehead almost to
the bridge of the nose. This is an
Egyptian idea, and emphasizes the
fact that oriental conceits will be
worn on both hats and gowns this
season.
The richest of furs. already
shown, are almost prohibitive in
price. However, the New York
importer said to me today: "The
dear American ladies will have
clothes, no matter IL the heavens
fall"
It remains to be seen II tbs
New York idea of the "deal
American ladies' is right.

WARM AXES FARM
 PAY LARGE RENTAL
Brooklyn agle)

When Meyer I. Shapiro, hay and feed dealer of Woodhaven. exchanged three 2-family houses in Woodhaven for 10-acre farm near Yaphank L. l.. about four years ago, his friends looked upon the transaction as anything but wise one. The Woodhaven property represented a value of about $12.500. and Shapiro's friends told him they doubted if the farm he took in ex- change would be a paying investment for one hundred years to come. But Shapiro told everybody that he had all ways wanted to acquire a farm on Long Island and that he didn't care if it never did turn out paying invest ment. Secretly, however. he had some misgivings, and less than year ago he admits, he would have been glad to sell his ten acres with the comfort able 15room house thereon for a mere song. Then, along came the war and the selection by the government of ficials of the Yaphank site for a can- tonment where the drafted men could be trained Shapiro's property hap pened to he opposite the Camp Upton railroad station and the main entrance to the camp. Immediately there was q demand for Shapiro's land on the part of big and small business interests which saw the commercial possibili- ties and expressed an eagerness to lease parcels for fabulous sums. Now Shapiro expects to collect $2OO OOO yearly in rentals. When the govern ment first decided on the camp site several months ago Shapiro turned down d $1OO,O0O cash offer for his 1 property.

KAISER AND BALLIN
 NOLONGER CHUMMY
Gondon Chronicle)

Herr Albert Ballin, managing dlrec- tor of the Hamburg America line, IS in disgrace. Germany's mercantile TIT pitz was for many years one Of the kaisers most intimate personal friends. He was also the unofficial adviser Of his majesty. not only with regard to the pushing of Germany's trade abroad but also with reference to foreign af- fairs so closely linked with commerce.
 Countless were the telegramS which during the past few years have been addressed by William II to "Mein Lieb CT Ballin'' on such occasions as birth days and launchings of the Hamburg America company's trade navy units. Visits of the kaiser to Hamburg were in reality visits to Herr Ballin who was always master of ceremonies on state occasions in that great port.
 Now all that is changed, as the kaiser has on two occasions recently shown deliberately to his former bosom friend. The first occasion was that of his majestys visit a few weeks ago to Hamburg. A gentle but none the less emphatic hint was conveyed to the shipping king that his presence at the ceremonies in connection with the kaisers visit would be distasteful to the all-highest, and so Ballin stayed at home.
 The second royal snub was deliver ed on the occasion of Ballin's siXtieth birthday, not many days ago. It was the custom of the kaiser to send a greeting of many happy returns to his faithful henchman, and a message of particular warmth would have been in place on such an suspicious day as that marking the conclusion of the merchants three score ycars. But no such message came to hand. In addi : tion, an imperial hin- has evidently been given in Hamburg official circles to follow the kaiser's lead, and the re- suit is that Rallin finds that he has been effectively sent to Coventry.
 The reason for this unpleasant ban } ishment is the freedom with which Herr Ballin has of recent times ex- pressed himself regarding Germany

NO SCANDAL IN THE
 AMMUNITION WORK
CThe OutlOok)


 It has been officially admitted that approximately third of the small arms ammunition supplied to the United States expeditionary force had defective primers. The primer in shell is the vital if diminutive pinch Of chemicals which when struck by the firing pin of the piece explodes and causes the ignition of the main powder charge
 It appears that the failure of these primers was caused by the inclusion of a small percentag3 of tromide in the PTiT ,ng material used ia the manufac- ture of a large number of cartridges at the Frankfort arsenal This bro- mide acted as a deteriorating agent which in time destroyed the primers, even though it was present in too small a quantity to be detected by the Inspectors al the time of manufacture
 A remedy for such a mistake should rot be hard to find It is fortunate not only that the defective ammunt- ton was discovered before occasion demanded its use in battle, but also that the government has frankly avowed the misfortune.
 The danger, as the Army and Navy Journal points out, in such an acci- dent res not only fn the possible loss Of offensive power and iD the peril to iadsT5daa1 soldiers from the delayed explosion of cartridges, but in the in- Jury which may arise to the confidence reposed by the nation in the war de- parf1nent. In the present instance there is certainly no reason for loss of cond1denee. The mistake appears to have occurred as a natural conse- qutnce Of the tremendous increase in the war actiStc:es of the country and the necessarily sudden expansiof. of muifition making facilities. The occa- sion can in no wise be compared to the -embalined beef scandals of the

ELkS HAVE

Over 400 men were extra glad they were Elks last evening when PhoenlX lodge of the antlcred host ents- tained with the biggest stag social session Iii the history of the local organization Three ring circuses were tame besides the big show, the biggest under any one tent roof or raftcr since the days of Rome, Italy, not Georgia There were so many things going on at ore time, members got dizzy trying to Keep their eyes on the various perform CTS. Everything from boxing bouts to vocal bouquets were tossed before the spectators and, since the Elks never have to go home, the various profess ional performers were dragged into the entertainment before the morning light scattered the big crowd.
 For music there was a string orches tra, brass band, singers from the Ed. Redmond company and miscellaneous chorus effects as effective as though drilled by a choirmaster There was big free flor all feed as well. an inn promptu minstrel show with Ned Creighton as the goat" for the occa- sion and the only professional referee in captivity, one-count him-one, A. R. Cater, was an added entry. Since one and one adds two, Senior Cater was equal to any two contestants en- tering the ring. Ask the contestants. They know.
 The carnival band was dragooned into service after the carnival show for the night was matter of history and then they requisitioned three of the men stars from the Redmond or ganization, Kemper, Reed and Cochran. so as to have vocal numbers. This not being enough, a dancer was brought down from the carnival and the band played on.

general policy. He was not a believer in the war before Germany plunged the world into the great struggle, put when it came he fell into line. hoping it would be quickly over ahd protltapie to Germany. He offered his services To the government, and he and the com pany he directs did great deal or war work in many directions.
 But the war dragged on. er;ailing heavy loss to the company, and seV- eral times he criticized matters strong ly to the kaiser himself. On two mat ters he was particularly severe in his condemnation. As was reported some time gao the German government de- cided to make a loan to shipping com panies on account of war losses.
 Ballin protested that the amount was SO small that it was practically use less. He held. too, it should not be a .loan, but a free gift, otherwise the companies would be saddled with a . heavy interest charge after the war

at the very time they would be least able to bear it.
 The government took no notice of his views. Later he went several times to see the kaiser and Bethmann- Hollweg and endeavor to persuade them against the unrestricted subuna rine campaign. Here again his advice went unheeded, and the result was that America entered the war. That meant the loss of a great part of the Ham burg America lines fleet, and it is said that Ballin sent an angry letter to the kaiser which would make piduant reading for the world could it be published. Since then the kaiser and Bailin have been as strangers to one another.

20 or 4e Per Cent Cream?

1t seems difficult to convince the
average farmer that it more profitable
for him to skim rich cream, testing,
say 40 per cent, than cream testing
20 per cent. A few think that the
more cream they bring in, the more
money they will receive; most people
people, however, know that they get
paid only for the butterfat that the
cream contains.
Setting your separator so that it
turns out a rich cream, means that
more skim milk will be retained on
the farm for feeding to calves and
pigs.
Example showing saving rich cream
versus thin cream: Suppose man
sells 100 pounds of butterfat in cream
testing 20 per cent. This means he
would have to bring in so pounds OF
cream or six loyal cans, 400 pounds
of which is skim milk. Figured at 25
cents per cwt., this skim milk would
be worth 81 for feed.
On the other hand, let US suppose
that he brings in 40 per cent cream.
