Preventing Food Poison.

A good MANY years ago if one almost
died of internal distress after eating
certain viands Providence got the
blame. Perhaps in early New England
the witches were supposed to have
hand in it. Later we blamed our
systems There was a time when we
ascribed almost every malady to the
innate limitations Of our own bodies.
, Then, with increased knowledge OF
science and medicine we learned that
such things as ptomaine poisoning were
due to the direct action of micro
organism--and if we We're poisoned,
got stung by one of these buglets, We
blamed the butcher or the fish monger
or the evil genius that presided over
the canning factory.
No doubt, canned goods often are
tainted with what used to be called
ptomaine poisoning and what seems to
be called more usually food poisoning
now But recent investigations seem
to point to the fact that this sort of
poisoning is due in a large measure, II
not universally, to an intestinal micro
organism.

they want IL they can get It, and Bobby
knew that Unc' Billy Postum would
treat Happy Jack Squirrel the same
way IL he happened to want Happy
Jacks house. So he climbed up the
tree quite sure that this was the house
he would take for his new home. He
was half way up when sharp voice
spoke.
Haven't you made a mistake, Brer
Coon?" said the voice. This isn't your
house."
Bobby stopped and looked up. Unc'
Billy Postum was grinning down at
him from his doorway. Bobby grinned
back at occurred TO me that you
might like to move. and as I'm looking
for a house, 1 think this one will suit
me very WELL" said he, and grinned
again. for he knew that INC Billy
would understand just what meant:
Before Unc' Billy could say a WORD
another sharp face appeared beside
his and a voice still sharper than his
own said: Whats that no count coon
doing in our tree? What's this talk
All hear about moving? Isn't anybody
going to move that All knows of"
Bobby had forgotten all about old
Mrs. Postum, and now as he saw that
lit was two against one he suddenly
changed his mind.
Excuse me-" he said, Il guess I've
got the wrong house.

SENATOR NORRIS EXPLAINS.
Defends His Position as One OF
Twelve Filibusters.

LINCOLN. Neb., March 27.-United
States Senator George w. Norris in an
address here last night defended his posi-
ton as one of the twelve senators whose
filibustering prevented the passage of
the armed neutrality bill during the clos
ing hours of the last session of Congress.
Senator Norris said he had come to
Nebraska to set the home people right on
the question of depriving Congress of its
constitutional rights and comforting upon
the President the power to declare war
Cover in Europe said Senator Norris.
1.-The people are fighting for a chance to
participate in the affairs of their govern
ment rather than allowing everything TO
be turned over to one man: here in Amer
lea an attempt was made to take the
government out Of the hands of the
people and place it in the hands of one
man."
Declaring he had mo sympathy whatso-
ever with the military spirit as represent
ed by the German emperor" Senator
Norris said If the United States became
involved in war he would support Presi-
dent Wilson in whatever measures he saw
fit to take.

up that tree right away"
Bobby scrambled down from the
stump and started down the Lone Lit
tie Path. After while he turned of
the Lone Little Path into a hollow, and
presently came to the tree he had in
mind. 1t was straight and tall and
big. High up was a doorway plenty
big enough for Bobby Coon He sat
down and looked up. The longer he
looked the better that tree seemed to

ESCAPED GERMANS LOCATED.
Reported to Be at Matamoros, Mex.
Opposite Brownsville.

BROWNSVILLE. Tex, March 27.-Two
escaped members of the interned crews
of two German auxiliary cruisers at the
Philadelphia navy yard crossed the Rio
Grande two miles below Brownsville, Sun
day and are now in Matamoros Mexico
opposite here, according to information
received at military headquarters at Fort
Brown. American military authorities
have taken up the matter with Mexican
officials in Matamoros.
Fourteen members of the crews of the
German commerce raiders Kronprinz Will
helm and PrinZ Eitel Friedrich, interned
at the Philadelphia navy yard. made a
dash for liberty last week. All but two
of them were captured inside of the yard
within short time. and officials of the
Navy Department announced their belief
that these two had been drowned in at
tempting to swim the back channel
Despite this announcement. however
Philadelphia authorities expressed the
belief that the two men, Lieut. Chorth
and Hermann Schroeder, machinist mate,
had escaped.

So sang Bobby Coon-as he wandered
about in the Green Forest after leaving
Farmer Browns Boy. At least he
meant it for singing. OF course 1t
wasn't real singing, for Bobby Coon
can no more sing than he can ny.
But 1t did very well to express his
happiness and that was all it was in

was very happy indeed. He couldn't
remember ever having been happier
Indeed, he couldn't remember ever
having been quite SO happy. You see
he never before had understood fully
what freedom means No one can fully
understand what wonderful ana
blessed thing freedom is until they
have lost it and then got it again.
Bobby took long breaths and shifted

Green Forest was full of them, and
never had they seemed so good to
Bobby. He climbed a tree for nothing
under the sun but to know what 1t
felt like to climb once more. Then he
climbed down back to earth again ana
went to poking around among the
leaves just for the fun of pol<ing
around. He rolled over and over from
i sheer Joy. Finally he brushed himself
off, climbed up on an old stump and sat
down to think things over.

Frames of Black Satin.
FASHIONS

Peplum blouses have made rather a
determined effort during two entire
seasons Immediately past to gain gen.
eral favor. But they have been ac-
corded rather uncertain attention. In
the first place, it is difficult to wear a
peplum blouse becomingly. 1t is unbe-
coming to the average figure and
should be selected only by women with
slender and youthful lines
However, the one now appearing is
different from it's predecessors. Instead
of the basque type of blouse. the very
latest model is a trifle short wasted,
giving the figure a modified empire sill
houette. If the blouse is developed In
very soft, clinging fabric it has some
very good style possibilities.
The upper figure in the sketch shows
a very charming little peplum blouse,
employing pale, flesh-colored satin and
Georgette in the same shade. Vest and
sleeves are of Georgette, and the vest
is embroidered in white chalk beads.
The vest extends around the neck,
forming a narrow yoke or simulated

OF Interest TO Women
FROCKS OF THE NEW CHECKED JERSEY.
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

Special Correspondence Of The star.
NEW YORK. March 26-Polkadot
foulard and checked jersey cloth are
among the figured designs in fabrics
that Paris originated for this spring
and that America has taken up with
out argument.
1t is not given to every woman to
wear either design. There are hun
dreds of types of the AngIo-Saxon fig
ure that look their worst when they
are dotted and splashed. checked and
striped; they need to be clothed in plain
colors.
woman must be an excellent Judge
of her limitations and possibilities be-
fore emharking upon campaign for
figured fabrics. The wise woman uses
them only as an accessory to a large
mass of solid color. but there is no
doubt that if one can wear checks,
plaids and stripes there is a certain
effect that is to be desired by every
one.
one-Piece Frocks in Checks.
In the early days of jersey cloth. we
took it for granted that it must be
plain. We did not get it in alluring
eolors in the beginning. but recently
the passion for everything Chinese has
brought out some remarkable yellows,
old blues and subtle greens that have
appealed to women who want to change
the coloring Of their raiment ar the
same time that nature changes hers
There is q strong leaning toward
green for all the new spring fiuery, and
this color lends itself most happily to
the months of April and May in this
country.
Jersey cloth has not only been pro-
duced in leaf green. grass green and in
the blue of a spring sky. but il has
come out in checks, which Chanel, the
priestess of jersey cloth, uses in a fas-
cinating, though difficult, manner.
Last summer the American women
took up a kind of soft blanket cloth,
or sturdy homeSpun. in oyster white
and cream. with a long thread of black
and green running through it. forming
a widely dispersed series of checks.
Frocks of this We're worn wherever
women gathered for sporting events,
but the objection to it was it's warmth.
its weight and the fact that it did not
make the figure look slim.
The introduction of the soft pliable
Jersey cloth in the same kind of black
and green stripping which forms checks
will meet with more approval than was
given to the homespun of last summer.
Frames of Black Satin.
Chanel has the artistic cleverness to
frame in these frocks of checked Jersey
with solid lines of black. Every woman
should learn the trick of holding fig
ured fabrics together with a border of
solid color, and the comparison be-
tween n gown that has not this satin
framework and one that has, instantly
settles the question for the doubt.

PALACE APR|SON
FOR FORMER CAR
Treated With Consideration,
But Must Conform to Pre-
scribed Routine.
ENJOYS SHOVELING SNOW

By the Associa ted Press.
PETRoGRAD. March &c. via London.
March 27.-The daily life Of the de-
posed Emperor of Russia, the former
empress, their children and members
of their suite was discussed to an
Associated Press correspondent by
Capt. Kotzebue. in command of the
guard at Tsarskoe-Seloe palace, where
| the imperial family is detained.
The captain is Nicholas chief jailer
and responsible to the duma that no
flight takes place and that there is no
breach in the severe inspection regime.
He is youthful and urbane, an officer
Of the guard type. speaking perfect
French and English. Apparently he
was chosen by the duma Imprisonment
commission as likely to respect the
susceptibilities of his prisoner.
Three Lines of Guards.
After telling the correspondent that
he had been given orders to arrest
all civilians who asked the soldiers
questions about the complex geography
of the palace, Capt Kotzebue consented
to say something about the condition
of the former emperor and his family
in their Imprisonment. politely calling
Nicholas former emperor" where all
the soldiers say brusquely Nicholas
Romanoff."
The former emperor is not under
detention, but in all respects pris-
oner and is treated accordingly, SAID
Capt. Kotzebue He is in perfectly
good health and in fairly good spirits.
When he is with his own encourage
he has fits of crying.
HE is no longer allowed in the park,
but twice daily. from II to o'clock. he
is permitted to walk for recreation In
the rallied gardens between the east
and west wings of the palace. Outside
the railing are six soldiers constitut-
ing the so-called intermediate guard.
The first guard is within the palace
walls and the third outside the park
fence.
Must Converse in Russian.
THE regimen Of the imprisonment of
Nicholas is applied also to all courtiers
and servants who are prisoners. The
former emperor is not permitted to go
into the garden except in my pres
ence. He walks frequently with other
prisoners, preferring the society Of the
former empress, Count Benkendorff,
former marshal Of the court: Nine.
Narychkine and Countess Hendrikof.
He is required to converse only in Rus
sian when in the presence of soldiers.
1.-THE former emperor's chief occupa-
ton of shoveling snow in the garden
he enjoys greatly. He shows boyish in
terest in what is said and written of
him. He does not resent abuse. At

The sketch today shows one of Cab
rielle Chaners sport gowns of the new
jersey with a line of black and green
running through it to form checks. She
has built the frock on a slim line, Its
only fullness starting at the waist and
ending at the knees. She has drawn
in the hem to less than a two-yard
measurement with a band of black
satin which goes up a little in front in
a manner which Callot introduced
several years ago and which still holds
good among the best designers. Again
she has used satin to frame in the
neck. and there is a double collar, one
of white and one of black. There is Il
loose girdle of white lined with black,
and the sleeves are gathered in at the
wrist with soft ruffieS that turn over
on the inside to show d black and
white lining.
With this frock she sends loose
