RARE DISPLAY OF
IMPORTED MODELS
AT KRUSE OPENING

The galaxy OF imported style models
in spring gowns that pays especial COM
pliment to city Of this size was en-
Joyed Saturday and Saturday evening
by the throng of nearly 1900 people
who attended the opening OF the new
Kruse Exclusive Ladies' Furnishings
establishment on North Broadway.
Prominent in the showing were Col
lott, Poiret and other imported gowns
and wraps Of such exquisite coloring
and texture as to defy description,
simplicity Of neck line being one of
the more noticeable of the new style
features. Not the least fascinating
were the palmer street costumes, and
nothing has been omitted in the many
accessories that go to make up the at
tire Of perfectly gowned woman.
Both the barrel skirt and the straight
skirt were there, both being favored
by Dame Fashion, and the many
dainty dancing gowns displayed form
q lure for post-Lenten festivities that
will be hard to resist.
In connection with this opening was
the formal welcome extended to the
townspeople by Miss Ida Mezirow and
Miss Corrine Baernstein, at their very
attractive Hat Shop, in the same
less attractive in its appeal than was
that of the garment section, and the
splendid selection there ranges from
the exquisite tailored street hats so
Attorney by many Of the discriminating
taste, to the more elaborate creations
suitable for wear with other costumes
Of more elaboration. The models OF
several well known houses of unap-
proachable standards are displayed in
this new Hat Shop, where these young
ladies are welcoming many old friends.
Flowers, such as carnations, jon
quils and tulips, were presented the
ladies attending the openings, by a
dainty little girl gowned in white. The
opening continued today.

THE QUESTION OF EXEMPTIONS

Several million men of military age
il the United States are just nov
greatly interested in the question o.
exemptions from military service.
Under the selective draft plan, those
of military age who are needed at
Eome-needed either because depend
ents without other means of supper!
claim first consideration imposed by a
higher obligation, or because of duties
in the occupations of peace fully as
important as those of the soldier-are
not to be called to the colors. 1t would
be mistake to draft them.
There are several millions of other :;
who will almost certainly be drafted
They are men without dependents, and
who hold positions which it will not
be difficult to fill.
But there is another large class
whose status is uncertain. These are
men of military age whose exemption
claims, set forth on their registration
cards, will have to be passed upon by
local exemption boards. Broadly
speaking, the fact that man is mar
ried is supposed to exempt him from
service, though it is indicated that
each case will be carefully gone into
by the exemption board having juris-
diCtion. Unless a married mans wife
: is dependent upon his labor for her
! support, the chances are he will have
bis name included among those from
which drawings are to be made, pro
vided of course, that he is found to be
physically sound .
This question of exemptions is an
interesting one. The drafting is ex-
pected to begin early in July, and each
county will be required to furnish its

WAR HAS REACHED
PORTUGAL IN EARNEST

LISBON, Portugal June 19.-The
war has reached Portugal in earnest
and drastic measures are being put
into effect by the government to en-
sure bread for the people. Confec
tionery and cake no longer can be sold.
All persons possessing supplies OF
-four are required to inform the au-
thorities of the amount they own.
Corn bread is being made to exc out
the scanty supply of wheat flour and
acorn flour and other substitutes are
being utilized.
The Lisbon streets, like those OF
London, now are in darkness after
nightfall, as the gas factories have
ceased operations. Electric street
cars now are operated only up to IL p
m. The difficulty of obtaining public
conveyances after that hour is causing
great losses to theatres and night
clubs.
Imported coal has become an IN
known quantity and the national brown
coal, Ignite, is being used for DOM
este purposes. Warning has been Civ
en- that unless it becomes possible to
import coal, the use of electricity as
motive power must be discontinued.

GAS is AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY
IN BUENOIS AIRES AT PRESENT

BUENOS AIRES. June ia North
American resident of Buenor Aires re
ceived his monthly gas bill the other
day. His home is lighted electrically.
He uses gas only to cook. His domes-
tic establishment is very modest. In
his kitchen is two-burner stove.
There is no other means gas can be
consumed in his home unless it leaks.
Buenos Aires gas is so thin that some
times it fiickers out of itself even
when turned on full-head. So a leak
is not an impossibiIity.
To guard against leakage the North
American always has his gas meter
Gas is also VIGOROUSLY expensive in
Argentina. Therefore the North Amer
lean gave instructions to use it very
economically.
But his gas bill for May was $SS.4o,
gold.
He told an English friend about the
bill.
That's nothing" replied the friend,
my bill was $40"
The gas company, however, has some
excuse for it's prices. Coal from
which gas is made is nearly $40, gold,
per ton.
