There is something being said in
the papers about eating ice cream.
All ice cream is not pure and made
in the best sanitary manner. Some
ice cream is not worth the money
charged. There are places in this
city where you can get the best, but
, that is not everywhere. When We
pay 10 cents for a dish of ice cream
we want it good and hard.

GERMANS TO REWRITE BIBLE
One of the First Tasks They Propose
to Undertake on Conclusion
Of War.

The Misunderstanding to a copy of
the German newspaper Kreuzzeitung
of Berlin, just received here. the Ger
mans are going to rewrite the Bible.
The article says:
IF any further proof were needed
of the Unreasonable superiority of the
Germans, intellectually and morally,
over the rest of mankind, 1t is
to be found in the mental attitude of
our people toward the Bible as COM
pared with that of other nations.
1.-THE English regard that book as
their most valuable commercial asset,
and use it mainly as form of barter
with savage tribes for their good will.
their assistance, and the supply of
their natural products, and in Eng
land itself it is exploited solely in the
propagation of that spirit of hypoc-
risy which has stood the British in
such good stead for ages to hoodwink
and despOil other races.
ut must be one of our first tasks on
the conclusion of this war, when Ger
many shall rise out of it renewed I'm
power and vitality like another phoe-
nix, to set a board of qualified experts
to work to produce. not only for our
own benefit, but also for the moral up
| lift of mankind, a new, a more glOri-
ous. n purer Bible, instinct with the
German spirit of kultur and morality"

MANY new COL0RS FOR LATE SUMMER

garments that proclaim themselves OUT

Here goes one who has little chance

Six Shades of Red to Lead, 1t Is
Officially Announced.
S0MBER TONES MAY PREVAIL
Manufacturers Think War Will Cause
American Women to Choose Dull
Clothes Though They May
Be Expensive.

New York-The manufacturers are
exhibiting their usual interest in the
colors which may come into fashion
next autumn.
To the layman, this forehandedness
seems to be vitality wasted, but the
man behind the business knows that
now Is the appointed hour to look with
sharpened eyes into the near future.
Merchandise is a stupendous bulk
of material that quickly goes into profit
or loss. 1t makes or mars Il merchant
and affects thousands who owe TO his
cleverness their chance to live in COM
fort. If he does not look ahead with
an eye and mind trained to take into
account every minor and major hap
pening, and every shadow of coming
events, he goes down into debt and
carries the thousands with him. When
those who are more interested than
ever before in the production of wom-
ans apparel because of the strain
caused by the war and the feeling of
false economy, say among themselves
have no chance for popularity next
winter, then they decide Il mOmentous
issue.
They realize that the public must be
induced to buy while the buying is
| good; while it can make use of the
pieces of merchandise that exist and
which may soon cease to be worth
while. The public, itself. wants to
know the prospects for the success of
every garment. If its service is to be
of short Duration then wisdom dictates
that it must be made to yield every
ounce of service now.
| Many of us would willingly buy q
garment, or Il piece of cloth, If we
were candidly told that it would not
serve us long. but that it would last
for another three months. giving that
as the reason for its reduction from
the original price. But we feel cheat
ed and Inundated when. after buying
something that was supposedly rising
up the hill of popularity. we find that
1t is quickly going down hill.
Weary Quickly Of Clothes.
Most of us are guilty-if crime II
be-of wearying of what we possess
in the way of clothes before they have
given us value for money expended
and we willingly give them up under
the pressure of an excuse that viii
satisfy our conscience. If we buy
often and without undue expense, W.
right happily fling away the purchase
when it's time comes to go.
1t is this psychological truth tina
lies down deep in the spirits Of thu
majority, that makes it possible fOl
the department shops to reap snu;
fortune each season out of the mod
ishly cut and cheaply priced garment

Ieoends of Polar North,

The polar North is filled with weird
imaginative legends, but perhaps the
most imaginative is the theory of the
north Greenlanders recently studied by
European ethnOlOgists. concerning the
controlling power of the universe.
This, they believe, is a woman, known
as the Old Woman of the Sea. Accord

A new evening dress is made on EN-

ness on its simplicity. There is skirt
of the softest charmeuse, hung from a
slightly raised waist line. II is gath

and this is little longer than skirts
have been throughout the past winter.
The bodice is a band of brocaded
velvet i'm several shades of blue, with

redskins had stored for the winter.
Indeed. the settlers wanted that corn
so much that they introduced the hith-

Indians. They stole from the caches
and cribs, practice of which, to quote
Capt. John Smith. ''the Indians griev-
ously complained" Civilization came
to its own on this continent through
corn not only in the East but in the
West, for the journal of the Lewis and

trepid explorers would have died for
lack of food had it not been for the
parched maize they obtained from the

But Times Have Changed.

Vassar college, the pioneer American
institution for the higher education of
women, was founded by Matthew Vas
sar a wealthy POughkeepsie brewer.
Having accumulated fortune, and
being without children, Matthew Vas
sar decided to devote the greater part
of his wealth to the establishment of
some public institution. 1t was at the
suggestion of his niece. Miss Booth, a
successful teacher of girls, that he was
induced to found college for young
women, for which he gave $4OS,OOO in
1861. and other sums aggresating as
much more before his death and by be-
quests. When Vassar was opened the
institution was denounced by many
women and numerous clergymen, who
proved to their own satisfaction that a
college for women was an insult to
God. One prominent woman said: "Of
one thing we may be sure-nO refined
Christian mother will ever send her
daughters to Vassar college! The
mere fact that il is called college for
women is enough to condemn it,"

three-Quarter inch holes bored in the

Then all this damage has been COW

ders. This was done apparently In the
hope of the engines being started III
case the Germans did not have time
to blow up the cylinders. Had steam
been forced into the cylinders they
would have collapsed with the hrs'
thrust of the piStons.
Mysterious Explosive in Cylinders.
But the turning of the cylinders in
to virtual bombs was the most IN
genious designing of all.
Two high pressure cylinders were
found to have been stuffed with what
was at first supposed to have been gun
cotton. There was enough TO NIL a
barrel in each cylinder. The substance
has not yet been put under chemical
analysis. but it is thought to have
been cotton treated with silico, liquid
compound, colorless, Tuning and In
nammable, which is made by subject
ing silicon to heat in the presence OF
hydrochloric acid gas. 1t is believed
this was to have been used TO set on
gun cotton, which was to have beer
placed in the cylinders just before the
vessel was seized.
There was evidence that tackle was
to be used to hoist the piston of eacf
cylinder and drop them by cutting the
tackle. Copper pins that had beer
driven into the cylinder so they pro
| jected on the inside would have
caused friction when the cylinder
heads rubbed against them, setting of
the cotton. This would have burst th'
cylinders and caused damage that on
ly could be cOnjectured.

MORMONS IN ODD PETITION
Waived to Permit Them to Wear
Their Own Underwear.

Salt Lake, Utah.-In order to permit
members of the Mormon church who
wear temple undergarments to enlist
in the navy, Lieut.. Edwin Guthrie Of
the local navy recruiting Office. has
asked authority from the bureau Of
navigation to modify the regulations.
Lieutenant Guthrie reported that he
had had much discussion with the
young men who have applied for en-
llstment in the navy but who are
bound by religious scruples to wear
a prescribed type of undergarment.
The church garment does not con-
form to the regulation navy garment.
and hence the lieutenant has taken
steps to have the regulations waived
so as to enlist MOrmOns who have
heretofore been advised by navy Of
ficials that they must comply with
United States regulations or stay out
of the service.
The Mormon garment is similar to
a union suit, covering the entire body,
and of uniform material.
