SOLDIERS PETS ARE LEFT ON
 BORDER
(By Associated Press)

FORT BLISS, Texas, April 19. - Hundreds of stray dogs, burros, goats and other soldier pets were left be- hind by the national guard troops when they left for home after being encamped at Fort Bliss reservation for many months.
 There was hardly company in the entire national guard camps but what had a pet of some description. Bur ros, because of their novelty to the eastern and northern soldiers, were the favorites, and small Mexican boys found a ready market for the dimi- nutive donkeys at the national guard camps. Dogs were next in point of popularity, while raccoons, cats, goats and horned toads were adopted by the guardsmen. As no provision was made for the care of these pets, they were fed from the extras allowed the soldiers and slept wherever a warm spot could be found in the shelter of tent house.

are presaged as successors to the ubiquitous sweaters.
 I rather fear the existence of the divers hued waisteoats will be fleet ing, however, since all of their coIors are guaranteed fast. Speaking of bril- liant colors, we are due to have a per feet riot of them on hands this spring if we are to judge by the way the glove fingers point. Talk about hand painted; well our hands will certainly look painted when they don the new sport gloves. Their lower sides are of wash kid in the most hectic of hues and their backs are of glove silk in equally hectic matching tint or contrasting tone. They will look hand-painted if they don't look as if something had dyed on our hands Royal palms may we'll be dubbed the hands that are covered with royal purple gloves with orange silk backs. purple gloves with orange silk backs Nerdant palms will be those of emer- aid green backed with Chinese bIue White gloves with black silk backs and vice versa are especially smart in these days when black and white is such winning combination, but the bright colors run pretty close for favor When the kid underpart of the glove is in the same brilliant col. or as the silk back instead of being contrast, the stitching on the back in an off color relieves the monontonv.
 Just fancy a group of foreign born charmers at the polo match, the golf club or the racecourse indulging in an animated conversation in which hand gesticulation plays such an i'm. portant part Thus gloved, their way ing palms are bound to have all the colorful and shifting effect of a kale- dioscope.

30,000 BR| T1SH SALOONS SOON
 ID CLOSE
(By United Press)

LONDON, April 19. Thirty thou said British saloons probably will be closed within the next few months.
 English brewers themselves have suggested a sweeping measure on these lines as the solution of diff culties arising from the restricted out put of beer. At present, they say, there are far too many distributing agencies, a third of which could be put out of business without inconven- fencing the public, while trade would be carried on more economically
 England must quench it's thirst on ten million barrels of beer a year or go thirsty, under the recent govern ment restrictions, and the brewers are hurrying to meet the contingency
 In the rural districts, instead of three breweries competing for busi- ness in one locality through thirty sa- looms, twenty of them will be discon- tinued and one joint firm supply all the beer to the ten.

68 PIONEERS AT THE S|TKA
 HOME

The 1916 report of the board of trus. tees of the Alaska Pioneers Home has been printed.
 Amongst other things the report states that the home has been in op- eration for four years; that the insti- tuition has been conducted in an eff cient manner; that there was a bal ance in all funds January l, 1917 of $2S,955.97. The board comprises Gov ernor J. F. A. Strong, chairman; Allen Shattuck, treasurer, and c. c. George son, secretary.
 Superintendent A. c. Shoup reviews the operations of the home and recom- mends that it should be optional with the trustees whether indigent or dis abled applicants would be cared for in the home or given a monthly allow ance; that salaries of employees should be increased and that certain repairs be made.
 The physician, James w. Johnson, reviews the medical work done and tells of the general condition of the patients, most of whom are suffering with chronic maladies, and in but few cases could curative effects be ex- pected.
 Senator Aldrich made special in- vestigation of the home and reported that there are siXty-eight inmates, eight of whom were in the hospital ward; one a paralytic who has been confined to his bed for three years. Aldrich made certain recommends tions as to salaries and improvements.

COPPER CENTS NJ LONGER IN
 DEMAND

R11TTE-Ap 19. - Deportation oi the copper cent is carried on at tho local postoffice each month out of re- spect to the tradition which still re- mains in Butte that the copper cent was never meant to circulate except to purchase stamp as means of ending it's activity as a medium of circulation in this section.
 Postmaster Phil Goodwin ships to Helena each month about $30 in pen nies that are paid in at the postoffice for stamps, which are about the only thing that pennies will buy in Butte. Department stores here do not ad. vertise bargains for which odd cents must be paid.

STYLES DIRECT FROM SMART
 CENTER
(Margaret Mason, United Press)


 I'm much too tired to think or write,
 Or make typewriters go;
 And so I'm sure the spring is here
 It always makes me so.
 NEW YORK, April IS. All hail, gentle spring! This is the joyous sea son of the year when the amorous robins and the blue birds for hap piness wake you at a. m., as they warble under the window sill These are the nights when you toss off the extra counterpane and wake in the morn with cold in the head and an extra counter pain in your chest.
 These are the happy days when the Amalgamated Union of Janitors turns off the steam heat prematurely and you have to affect the cumbrous drap- cries of your eiderdown bathrobe on top of your customary garments round the frostbitten menage.
 These are the pleasant meal times when you struggle with the offspring to get them to consume sufficient quantities of rhubarb sauce, spinach, dandelion greens and other healthful first fruits of spring against which their childish souls and dummies re- volt.
 Being offspring perhaps accounts for hnt ta These are the intoxicating afternoons when the shop windows get full of all the fascinating grills and furbelows and frivolities that go to female heads. The little birds are on the wing, and the little wings are on the hat. If only the spring bonnets knew how to use their many wings they would certainly fly away a la the lit tie birds. As 1t is, it is only their prices that soar. Truly, fine feathers make fine hats this spring, for almost every turban, poke, mushroom, sailor and stovepipe shape that isn't beaded is bristle with wings. Some of them are both beaded and winged at that
 Hats aren't the only things in the shop windows that go to female heads, however, as there are the stunning Spanish back combs of tortoise shell, amber, demi-amber and carved jet. Wonderfully artistic and alluring they are, and every woman is immediately bitten with a desire to possess one as soon as she tries their teeth in her topknot.
 Like Dutchmen's brooches, violet, dogwood and all the spring flowers the fashionable growths in the spring shop windows are prone to have as ephe- neral an experience. They enjoy a brief popularity and then vanish like the crocus, to be glimpsed no more this year.
 I am wondering if the exuberant new waistcoats of rainbow hued jer- sey silk are doomed to so tickle fling. Most amazingly colored are they in broad Roman stripes of orange, emerald green, purple, and scarlet. They are stunning for wear with the new sport coats of velvet that
