WAR BOOSTS SNAILS AS FOOD
French Farmers Make Tidy Fortunes
Raising "DeIicacy" Now Much
In Demand.

Paris.-French snail farmers are
making tidy fortunes out of the war.
More than half the French supply of
this delicacy has been cut off by the
German occupation of Luxembourg, Bel
GUM, and northern France, and the
market price has risen accordingly.
The demand for snails also has been
stimulated by the new food reguIa-
lions, which classes snails with oysters
as "hOrs d'Oeuvre" of which one may
eat as much as he wishes.
AS many as 100000 first quality
snails, worth So to $40 a thousand, can
be reared on an acre of land. They
have to be fed only once a day, prefer
ably in the evening.
A bed of 100000 snails will consume
a wagon load of cabbages in a few
minutes, and the noise which they
make at their repast is like nothing
else in the world.

The prophet who circulated the re-
port that suits would not be in de-
mand this spring is without honor in
his own country or anywhere else. Eli
Their nobody paid him any attention or
else each woman decided to act indie
pendently in this matter and to have
q new spring suit whether anybody
else wore one or not A whole regi-
ment of prophets might shout in pur-
est French, that suits are not to be
worn, without influencing the loyalty
of American women to the tailor
made" Intuition convinces her that
.tt suits her type and it is always the
mainstay of her wardrobe.
One of the new serge models is
shown here and its fine lines and
"class" flash themselves into the mind
at glance. The jacket is cut to the
most popular length, is belted at the
back and front and smartly finished
with fancy buttons. The collar may
be buttOned close to the neck, but is
shown open, with adjustable Over-col-
lar In white. An attractive feature of
this coat appears in the pockets which
are made with extension laps. The
sleeves flare at the cuffs, where one
OF the novel buttons is posed. 1t is as
important here as the dot over an

VAST SWAMP is RECLAIMED
German Prisoners Turn Great Waste
Into One of Most Fertile Spots
in Germany.

Kiel.-The "Wild Moor" a dismal
swamp of more than 100 square miles
in the district of Husum, Schleswig-
Holstein, has been transformed into
one of the most fertile spots of North
ern Germany in the middle Of the
world war.
Tive years ago several thousand war
prisoners were put to work and they
have since dug innumerable bitches
and trenches in the swamp, which now
is completely drained and dry. Last
fall hundreds Of tons of lime were
dumped on the reclaimed land. About
40 square miles are already planted
with wheat and winter rye, and the
rest of the ground will be used to raise
oats, barley, beans, peas, turnips and
fodder for the cattle.
The land which a short while ago
was practically worthless today rep
resents a value Of many million dol
lars.

Washing White silk.

To wash white silk or crepe blouse,
white silk gloves, etc, so they will not
turn yellow, wash them in just tepid
water and use white soap; rinse well
and after two waters add a mite of
bluing to last rinse water; squeeze out
water and roll up silks tightly in a soft
towel, but allow the crepe to dry en-
tirely before pressing. See that you
use moderately hot iron, as crepe is
easily scorched. The silk blouse may
be pressed upon the wrong side before
1t Is quite dry.

COLUMBUS, April 17-At last
Dancing has come into its own. For
years it's borne the burden of blame
for a thousand and one Affections.
Tango foot" fallen arches, loss of
weight and scores of other ailments
have been laid at the door of the
dance.
But now comes Miss Florence A.
Myer, head of the department of phys
ical education at Ohio state universe
~, who is an advocate of the dance, es-
pecially the esthetic dance, which is
an instant cure, she says for the ner-
vous girl who jumps at every sound,
and the slouchy, carefree type of girls
who are affected by nothing.
THE combination of the physical
exercise and the mental stress Of re-
membering the different steps is won
derful for the nerves." said Miss Myer
Those who formerly startled at every
little sound can bear almost any shock

skirts of the past two seasons, reach

Of the shoes.
Just as pictured this suit is of
French serge in navy blue and after
all is said there is nothing better.
But it has been developed in other
colors of serge and is a success in any
of them. The jacket is lined with
peau-de-cygne which has become so
well established that its name de-
serves an English translation.
