strength and Importance. 1t is no
longer advocated by the few, but by
the many dressmakers.
There is no wholesale repetition Of
Chinese cOstumery in these modern
French gowns. The single garment
that is taken in its original form is the
Mandarin coat. 1t is used as an eve
ming wrap. In America there has been
Superabundance of Chinese coats
worn after candlelight.
One extremely good-looking New
York woman who has been told that
she somewhat resembles the artists
drawings of Chinese faces constantly
appears in the evening with a superb
Mandarin coat worn over her frock.
Her black hair, brushed back from the
cOiffure, completes the picture. She
also adds great fan of peacock feath-
ers set in sticks Of jade. One has
strong impulse to lift her up and set
her on a tiny pedestal of lockwood.
Over in Paris the Chinese idea ia
expressed in the new gowns in lines as
well as in embroidery and coloring.
The attempt is made to swing a gown
freely away from the body in excel
lent folds, and then gather it in some
where near the normal waistline by
girdle.
There Is a dominant Chinese note in
the house gowns. One is made of jade
green velvet, so thin that 1t looks like
satin. The lining ia of Chinese blue
crepe. The Mandarin sleeves COM
pletely cover the arms, and the long,
straight widths, front and back, drop
to the ankles.
There is a slip of fiesh-colored chif-
fOn over satin, which ClingS closely to
the figure from collar bone to instep,
and over this slip, at high wastline,
the green velvet material is caught
with a large. square, Chinese ornament
! in jade. There is a necklace of jade
beads that drops down the front of the
tlesh-cOlOred bodice and faStens to the
| nrpament at the waistline.
Therc is another Chinese gown for
dinner or the theater, made of Chinese
yellow brocade, extraordinarily soft
and supple 1t is lined with flesh pink
Chinese crepe. 1t hangs in loose panels
from waist to instep, showing an I'M
derskirt of Chinese blue chiffon edged
with a tiny band of gilt at the hem.
The bodice is draped in loose sur
plice, and the girdle is of the mate
rial. The sleeves are Mandarin
shaped, of transparent, yellow chiffon
edged with a tiny rim of gilt.

embroidery, are reproducing the pea

Why He Didn't Salute.

General Allenby, one of the two field
officers responsible for the advance on
the MOns-Lens sector of the western
front, tells story of one of his colo
nels who was strolling about the camp
before breakfast one morning attired
principally in pajamas, a raincoat and
an eyeglass.
A new recruit approached him,
stared, and passed by. The colonel

Pershinq's Paymaster.

In one of those out-of-the-Way
army posts where the outside world
seems all too remote, word that Gen
eral PerShing was to lead an expedi-
ton to France set the post buzzing
with gossip and speculation, says the
New York Evening Post.
"NOw that's something like" said
one officer. "fd give anything to go
with Pershing."
"Why not write and tell him SOP"
suggested young lieutenant.
"What! Me?" came the reply.
"Why, I'm only paymaster."
"And mighty good paymaster," in
sisted the other.
And so a letter was duly forwarded
to General Pershing by the paymaster
who wanted to serve under him in
France. Two days later a telegram
arrived at the post for the paymaster.
It read:
you're it.-Pershing."
It's not all red tape in the army.

ful OF sugar, pour q cupful of hot wa
ter over the mixture and boil until a
rich strip results. Keep this in jar
In the ice chest and when wishing to
serve it, tablespoonful of the strip
is stirred into a glass of cold milk.
Cocoa is liked by some with a very
little vanilla flavor and teaspoonful
IT cornstarch to give it more richness.
A pinch of cinnamon or cloves is an
other addition liked by some. Chill
the cocoa, mix it with sugar and
cream and serve with whipped cream
on top.
Fruit Mint JuIep.-Boil three pints
of water and one and half pounds
of sugar ten minutes. Remove from
the heat and add a packed cupful Of
mint leaves. Cover and let stand ten
minutes. Strain through two thick
nesses of cheesecloth and cool. Strain
the juice of II lemons, add one and
half cupfuls each of orange and straw
berry juice and turn into the mint
sirup; let blend at least an hour.
When ready to serve pour a quart of
charged water over large piece of ice
in the punchbowl, then turn in the
mint julep. Sprigs of mint and few
slices Of fresh strawberries make a
pretty addition to the bowl.
The secret of tine-tlavOred iced tea
is to make it fresh. Draw the tea
about three minutes, then pour it over
ice and let stand in Clipped ice until
chilled. Serve by filling glasses one
third full of shaved ice and top with
bit of lemon. Let each person sweet
en- his own tea.
Gingerade.-This is a drink which
should be used as it is not only pal
atable but economical. Stir a table
spoonful of ginger with four of sugar,
add a pint of chilled water and serve
when settled. Some like a dash of
vinegar, others a little molasses in
stead of sugar for sweetening. This
is an o1d-fashioned harvest drink.
orangeade.-For this simple drink
allow pint of cold water for each
pint of orange juice with the juice of
one demon. Add sugar to taste and
stand near the ice until ready to serve.
At serving time beat an egg very light
and pour the liquid over it. Serve a
once.

A Chinese entered the office of the
Western Union Telegraph company at
Evansville few days ago and left a
telegram with Ivan Bennett, the signal
clerk. The yellow man said the tele-
gram was to be sent to Chicago. Ben

New YOrk.-Lucile firmly believes
that the tine has come in American
fashion for women to wear long, flow
ing lines of dignity and abandon the
half bodices, lack of sleeves and short,
transparent skirts which have ruled
us for three years.
She IS definitely committed to this
Idea and is designing all her autumn
clothes in Paris and London to meet
the purpose.
The reason that her statement has
such force is that no one denies that
she revolutionized ballroom dressing
as the Vernon Castles revolutiOnized
its dancing and Irving Berlin revolu-
tionized its music
The -Berlin-Lucile combination
has been in Europe, the symbol of

Reducinn the Waistline.

While these are the days of the
Venus de Milo waists, still there are
some women with waists that need re-
ducing. A very good exercise for this
purpose Is as follows: Placing the
hands on the hips bend the trunk for
ward and stretch the arms down until
the finger tips touch the floor. Exhale
as you bend down .and inhale as you
straighten up. Repeat this exercise
four or five times daily.

kept shaking off the surplus water.
A coffee can is fine receptacle for
crisping lettuce or parsley as it is
easier to handle from Il large-mouthed
receptacle.
This Is the season for mushrooms
and they may be found in old pastures
or woods in abundance, affording deli
Cious food at little cost.
Raspberries and strawberries keep
better when spread out on a platter
or plate, in fact twice as long as when
heaped in a dish; the weight of the
berries crush and spoil them.
Oatmeal Cookies.-Take two cupfuls
of fine or ground oatmeal which has
been Drowned, two cupfuls of -four,
one egg, half cupful of sour milk
and half teaspoonful of soda, half
cupful of shortening and a cupful of
sugar, add raisins and nuts and drop
from a teaspoon on a well-greased
baking pan.
Rhubarb is delicious baked, using
cupful of sugar to pint of finely
cut rhubarb. Bake in an earthen dish
until jellylike in consistency.
Rhubarb Cup Pudding.-Put tea.
spoonful of sweetened, stewed rhubarb
into a buttered cup. Pour boiling wa.
ter on pint of bread crumbs and let
them soak until soft and then drain.
Add a well beaten egg to the crumbs,
a tablespoonful Of sugar and a little
nutmeg. Turn this over the rhubarb
in the cups and bake. Add cupful
of chopped peanuts that have been
carefully cleaned from the little brown
husk, to well cooked corn mush and
mold in small bread pan to cut in
slices to fry. Other nuts such as hlck-
DRY or walnut meats may be added,
but the peanuts are so common that

 Finding homes and providing en- toltainment for it's 13,000 employees in the city of standing room only is the Tire and Rubber company of Akron, Ohio
 Hundreds of new workers pouring into the city which has run away y from itself as one magazine writer describes it, have presented a gigantic problem in housing. The Firestone company early saw the difficulties of getting men to stay at their jobs uri- less they were given clean pleasant places to. live and immediately set Iteut the solution of the problem. A huge allotment has been opened by the company not far from the plant, and lots are sold to employees on easy payments at low prices. A house may be built at cost by the employe and paid for per cent down and one per cent a month.
 "But this does not take care of the hundreds of employees who are con- stantly coming to Akron from distant cities, attracted by the eight hour day and ideal working conditions. Many of these men have no money when they arrive and frequently leave their FHmiliee behind until they can for

TEX COMP ANY ORGANIZES b|G
 ATHLETIC CLUB

Word comes to W. R. Johnson, dis trict representative in Phoenix for the Fisk Rubber company that one of the lal gest and most successful factory athletic sanizations in the country is that formed among the employees Of the Fisk Rubber company al Chi ccpee, Falls, Mass.
 It is organized under the name of the Fisk Athletic association, and Is 2 registered member of the A. A. U. It's plan of organization is the most complete and comprehensive of any of it's kind. In addition to supporting an all-star baseball team, known as as the Red Tops. there is conducted the Fisk Six-Team league, which is regularly playing ssIne of the best baseball in the vicinity and afford ing amusement and recreation for the employees of all departments. These teams are all uniformed at the as are played on Fisk Park, 20-acre recreation ground contr oiled by the athletic association.
 Another recent sdecess of this Fisk Athletic association was the staging
 f a first class track meet to which were attracted a number of the lead ing amateur and college stars of New England.
 The chief feature Of this meet was a thrilling finish in the one-mile run The principals in this real thriller were Johnny Overton, the star Yale man, and Freddie Jones of Middle bury, who came down the last sixty yards abreast and crossed the finish
 line almost together. Overton, how ever, broke the tape with only bare three inches to spare.
 Andy Kelly of Holy Cross led the taking firsts in the 440, 220, and 100- yard events. The high jump was won handily
 by John Stack of Cushing academy and the pole vault went to Zitta ot Chicopee.
 Some 2,500 employees, with paid up memberships, are enrolled. The activ- tics are all in the hands of the em- ployes themselves, governed by elect ed officers and committees and q board of directors.
 This organization is now in it's sec- ] ond successful year, and it's entire
 success is attributed to the fact that it is in truth an association whose
 activities are at all times in the hands of the members themselves. A weekly newspaper devoted exclu- sively to factory interests, serves to l keep members keyed up to the high est interest in the associations wei fare

 For these workers the company has built little village ol temporary homes on the ground surrounding it's plant In this, village, where the dwellers live a simple life, there are accommodations for 1,600. The commu- nifty is governed by the strictest sahi- tary and police regulations enforced by the villagers themselves. The com pany doctors and nurses make weekly inspections and report that the vil- iage is the most healthy community In Akron. Within a stones throw are the Firestone war gardens where em- ployes are raising sixty acres of vegetables for their own use. '*The residents of the village are changing at intervals as enterprising workers get a house in Firestone Park or buy a lot to build on. But there is always somebody to move in.
 For entertainment and recreation, there is the $350000 clubhouse with bowling alleys, swimming pool, show CTS, reading rooms, and auditorium. During the recent campaign for Red l, Cross funds in Akron, the employees of the office presented a two-act operetta in the clubhouse and turned the proceeds $1 900 into the Red Cross fund. A moving picture show is given once a week free to the en- ploes in the club house auditorium. "In this city built in spite of itself, Firestone workers are well provided
