HOW LONG WILL It TAKE
FRANCE TO RECOVER
BY MYRoN T. HERRIck,

How long a time will France need
after the coming of peace, to recover
from the effects of the war?
Who can tell? To hazard an an
swer one would have to know how
much longer the war will last, what
the French losses in men and money
will be and what the terms of peace
will be.
One thing is certain in the mind
OF every Frenchman and every French
woman-France will not be beaten.
The Battle of the Marine decided that.
The France OF 1914 was not the
France of 1870.
Naturally, the terms of peace will
have decided effect on the recupera.
tive process. A victory that would in

the definite ending of the menace of
German invasion, the attainment of
all that France Is fighting for. would
have wonderfully stimulating effect
on her people, even though she should
come out of the war pretty well
drained of men and money. The
French are more susceptible than
some peoples to that sort of psyche,
logical Influence. as was illustrated by
the effect Of the war of 1870.
On the other hand, they would be
disheartened for future exertions if
after their prodigious efforts and sac
rifices, the war should end in a draw

her.
1t Is true that the fighting on tn,
western front has been almost who'll,
in France and Belgium, and that tn,
strip Of northern France now held b.
Germany or actually in the batti,
zone includes some of the most valu
able Industrial territory that Franc,
has. 1t has been stated that eight,
per cent OF the normal pig iron pro
duction and seventy per cent of tn,
steel production of France is in tn,
region now held by Germany.
The French expect to get all thi
northern territory back at or befor
the end OF the war. The re-acquisi
ton of Alsace-Lorraine would Civ,
them also the rich fields of iron or,
and coal located in those provinces.
There are many points of differenc,

Or. C. w. West returned from San
Francisco this morning to resume his
practice. He had intended to remain
on the coast for two or three months
but was recalled by telegram yester-

learned of the death of his brother in
Loyelock. DR.. West will probably re-
turn to the coast again later.
From the present outlook there will
be number OF disappointed applicants
for the position of game warden Of
Elko county. There seems to be little
doubt that the legislature will do
away with county game wardens and
put the protection OF fish and game
In the hands of n state game warden,
who will be allowed limited number
OF deputies. The proposed law has
many disadvantages, but it is argued
that better results will follow than
under the present system.

When woman is making up her

the idea of the hour.
Straw is used because straw is
plentiful, but the milliners have taken
up the idea that this rough material

USE OF TUCKS Is EFFECTIVE
They Can Be Used to Advantage IN
Making Serviceable as Well as
Dainty Nightdress.

Anyone who desires to make n serv-
iceable as well as dainty nightgown
should not forget the effectiveness of
tiny tucks. One model on which this
suggestion was carried out was made
with a square neck, and was open
down the front for q short space; but
this opening is really not necessary If
one provides q sufficiently large neck.
The upper front of the gown was dec
Grated with groups of three tiny tucks
arranged to form squares. In each
square a daisy was embroidered in
white. Anyone who desires q touch of
color should substitute colored flowers
for the white ones. A casing of the
material should be provided around
the neck, If one does not intend to
open the gown down the front, and u
colored ribbon run through it. You
can easily see how such gown would
withstand frequent visits to the laun-
dry.

TOO much father-in-law has the
same effect.

Infant Foods Are Tested
On Little White Rodents
To Determine Their Value

It is not very widely known that in
FAINT foods are often tried out expert
mentally on baby white mice. The
Scientific American Magazine states
that in various laboratories throughout
the country large numbers of white
mice are fed exclusively on infant
foods and infant milk notifications.
The inference cannot be drawn from
this that infant mice and human in
fants require the same foods; but
growth or lack of growth in the mouse
does indicate something of the growth
promoting properties of the food used.
Large numbers of the baby mice are
fed on each food, SO that the individual
differences in the mice may be elm
mated. The food is judged by the av-
erage growth of all the mice in the
group.
The baby mice in the experiments
are as hygienically cared for as ere
real babies. The wire cages in which
they are kept are sterilized twice a
week. In the bottom of each cage is
white crepe paper napkin to protect
the little feet from the wires. A clean
napkin is given at least once day
and often twice or three times. The
infant food mixtures are given from
three to five times Il day from little
glass dishes resembling individual salt
dishes The dishes are steriliZed every
time they are used
These aristocratic little pets must
have distilled water 70 drink. This
is furnished from n little glass bottle
having II stopper with n glass tube
inverted in the top of the cage. A
drop always hangs ut the end OF the
glass tube and when mouse is thirsty
It climbs up and ticks off the drop
when another drop Immediately forms
In this way the purity of the water
at all times is insured To be sure
these pets are never bathed, but why
should they need il? They have ne
chance TO get dirty.

He Couldn't Lose.

One of the justices of the Supreme
court tells of q young lawyer in the
West who was trying his first case be-
fore the late Justice Harlan. The
youthful attorney had evidently conned
his argument until he knew it by heart.
Before he had consumed ten minutes
in his Oratorical effort the justice had
decided the case in his favor and told
him so. Despite this, the young lawyer
would not cease. Ii seemed that he
had attained such a momentum that he
could not stop.
Finally Justice Harlan leaned for

collar is the especial feature OF the
suit. This collar is formed Of two
folds of the colored fabric, and it is
attached to the neck of the coat at
about it's !engthwise center. When de-
sired 1t may be held together by the
button and buttonhole appearing near
the end. However, for summer wear
the collar will usually be worn open.
The coat is finished with generous
pockets, OVERLAND with buttoned-on laps
of gold jersey. The skirt is simple

This little sports suit might be at
tractively developed with u coat of
plain color and skirt of gay striped or

any case serving to trim the coat.
While great deal has been written
and said about the present season
certainly exists. there is growing ten
dency at the present time to go to the
other extreme.
The little suit shown in the sketch
requires three yards of fabric for skirt
