THE WAISTCOAT.

Some one asserts that within FIVE
years all women will be wearing
coats and trousers in the street Be
that as IL may. one feature OF the
masculine wardrobe has been al
ready taken over. vestpocket, lapel
and buckled belt complete-and that
is the waistcoat. What with her
natty little cane and her white ex-
panse OF waistcoat, the New York
young woman looks very swagger
indeed as she strolls up the sv-
enue.
These new waistcoats are mostly
Of white pique cut in double breast
ed style with fat pearl buttons and
a rather high neck opening finish
ed with narrow. fat lapels exactly
like a mans waistcoat. Neither is
the little buckled belt which in
sures a neat fit in mans waistcoat
forgotten in the feminine replica.
Some Of the new coats are turned
back in broad revers below the
waistline to show an inch or two Of
the spic-span white waistcoat which,
Of course. extends a little way over
the skirt belt

LIGHTNING BREAKS DISH.

During a recent thunderstorm in
New York Stste surprise and won
der was caused in a certain home by
an unusual accident that accompanied
sharp bolt Of lightning. The latter
struck very close to the house in
question, causing the telephone TO
snap" so that those in the room
heard 1t distinctly. Following this re-
port glass dish containing some
steel beads. standing on q table
about twelve feet from the telephone,
broke into pieces, scattering the
beads on the floor. The apparent ex-
PLANTATION for the phenomenon is
that when the lightning caused the
spark at the telephone there was a
discharge of electricity into the room
and that the beads. being Of polished
steel with numerous sharp edges, Of
fered a path Of least resistance to the
discharge. which seeking a ground,
burst the dish.

TAKING NO CHANCES.

Uncle Joe. Cannon dearly loves .
circus, especially one with a large
monkey, a baboon, or an ape. In this
connection he spins a yarn.
When a boy. down in North Caro-
lima, Cannon and a cornfeId negro
went TO q circus together. Upon en-
tering the sideshow. they were at
racted by a large ape. II was an
enormous brute, the largest, Cannon
says. that he ever has seen in his ~
years OF existence. The negro was so
fascinated that he refused 10 bulge
from the cage. Long after all the
other folks had passed into the main
tent, the negro was stalleS In the side
show. Finally, satisfied that none ex-
cept Cannon was about, he approach
ed the bars.
How be you2" he asked the ape.
No answer. The negro looked around
again TO make certain that he was not
observed by strange eyes.
How is it?'' he asked again
Stn no answer; and . third time he
spoke to the ape without receiving q
reply. Then he burst out:
Oats right! Dom you say a single
word. II you does. deyn have you
out Of dat nice straw an a hoe in

Despite the awful drubbing that
Herb. Hoover gave Senator Reed. Of
Missouri, in the food-control bill night.
the Missourian has not let up on him.
One OF these days, IL Hoover does not

Nothing would please Hoover's en-

able to prove that he is wasting food
One OF them recently ordered one of
his employees to 90 to Hoover's hotel
and get his meal slips. The employe
took a walk to the hotel and returned
with q menu card only.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
BY JOSEPH F, PRITCHARD.

Chicago. Nov. 1.-The com market showed fur
ther advances Of y to &c today. and the gains
would have been more pronounced had not great
caution been shown in making new commitments
The government is now keeping a watchful eye
on transactions On the Board Of Trade and the
high officials of the big trade mart are anxious
to keep its membership within certain bounds.
In case high-handed speculation Is permitted in
the various breadstuffs, there is no question as
to the final results.
There is a possibility OF the government per
mitting the hedging Of the various grains and
the matter Of sensible speculation will be toll
Grated in order to prepare q dumping place for
corn and oats that may come forward at various
times. ,
1t was reported late today that United States
agents were still in the market for cash oats
and that their purchases were liberal
There was a narrow market in provisions and
trade was mainly given over to professionals in
the local pit. The larger packers failed to give
any support when 1t was most needed, and rest
ing spots for the day were PIC lower on lard,
while nbs and pork were a shade higher.

OPTIMISM Shown
ON WALL Street
New Firmness Fails. However. to
Overcome General Slackness.
By sToxoN WALL.


New York, Nov. 22-Although to-
days stock market took on q new
frmness. due to the deeper optimism
in war circles, It stin bore the ear
marks of unsettled economic condi-
tons. There were limited gains in
some of the important issues. As q
general thing, prices showed losses
below yesterdays finals.
The days trading was comparatively
small. The sales were 576, 200 shares,
about 900 below yesterdays record.
United States Steel's turnover was
only 1S1, 600 shares.
Rails were weak. Prices were rag
ged. with fractional losses being
registered in many Of the issues. Del
aware and Hudson and Reading
showed improvement during the earl
Ter part Of the session, registering
gains Of and Q points respectively.
But before the day was over, Della
ware and Hudson went 3-8 of a point
below yesterdays level; Reading con-
served 5-8 Of its point. Canadian Pa
cific sold 7-S Of point below yester-
days closing price; Chicago and
Northwestern. point; Northern Pa
cific, 7-S Of a point, and Southern Pa
cific, 1-2 to point.
Steels showed losses In most Of the
important issues. United States Steel
went half a point below yesterdays
closing price; Bethlehem ia point: /:
Lackawanna, IL: Midvale. SIS, and
Republic Steel, 7-s. These losses came
as a slight reaction towards the close
of the session.
Copper was also weak. with the ex-
ception of Chile which gained IA
point over yesterdays final. Inspira-
ton lost 81 points; Anaconda, IL.

ROLLING TANK" WARSHIP.

Plans for one OF the strangest war
vessels ever proposed have been sub
mitted to the Council of National De-
fense. The craft is an enormous
ocean-goinS water wheel that is in
tended to perform much the same ser
vice for the navy as the British and
French tanks have for the allied
armies Although highly vision
ary and entirely untried, it has
novelty and potential power that
draws attention. In addition to being
amphibious to a certain degree. it
is theoretically capable Of great
speed. Essentially it consists of two
big connected cylinders that are sup
piled around their outer rims with ad-
Unstable paddles. The horizontal axle
offers space for a crew and is gyro-
scopically stabilized to support a night
ing mast. Opposite ends Of the axis
are utilized as gun turrets.

Blame FAMILIES
FOR FOOD WASTE
IN ARMY CAMPS
Food Administration Also
Says Troops Are Being
Well Fed.

A Joint statement by Newton u.
Baker. Secretary Of War. and Robert
Hoover. National Food Administrator.
on the question Of waste In army can
tonments. issued last night, comments
on the complaints OF camp food en-
trayagance by citing as the most OBJ
yious waste the food sent 10 soldiers
by families and friends.
No advocacy Of meatless or wheat
less days IN the cantonments has been
made by the Food Administration. the
statement says, explaining that all
though at il necessary for the civil
ian population TO reduce the consump-
ton OF foodstuffs at every point and
TO eliminate waste in order that the
soldiers and our allies may be fed. n
is yet felt that the country wishes the
American soldiers TO receive every
particle Of food necessary 20 his ade-
quste nourishment and comfort"
Steady Progress.
Some waste exists" adds the state
ment, due TO the fact that the fami-
| lies and friends Of soldiers. under the
impression that they are insuffciently
provided for, send great quantities Of
food to the camps, thus adding a sur
plus and causing waste. This COM
ment, Of course does not have 20 DO
with delicacies. but with substantial
foods. with which the soldiers are al
ready fully provided.
STEADY and substantial progress is
being made in the elimination of
waste. and this progress is not at the
expense Of wholesome, appetizinE and
nourishing diet for all our soldiers"

We believe everybody will be pleased
with Jasper's showing. The following
