their own countries and had left a sur
plus Of a million and a half young wo-
men and adolescent girls annually who
could never hope to become wives or
honorable mothers, is explained. That
was before the war. He spoke of Italy
at that time, whose peasants and
townspeople alike were forced to dis
gorge as high as 80 per cent Of their
pitiful incomes for the maintenance OF
their government and Si5 out of every

war, and the payments Of debts which
were contracted there as in other
countries by the fathers and grand
fathers OF the men who were now on
the thrones or by former nonarchs Of
what are now republics.
HopeIessIy in Debt.
What could the future offer2 From
statistics just received from an emf
nent European authority Dr. Green
stated that the interest alone On the
war debts which have been piled up in
the past thirty months in Europe was
equal to the entire incomes Of all the
nations Of Europe figured on a basis
Of the taxation IN those countries five
years ago.
Americans Don't Pay Taxes.
Americans have not the faintest idea
OF what taxation means, Or. Green de-
clared, and he hoped they never would
in the sense Of paying off great war
debts Nothing was 10 easy to con
tract as a war debt, assumed with the
wave Of a hand but borne by children
and grandchildren and the greatest
burden to get rid Of.
American Indifference.
One Of the most regrettable condi-
tions which DR.. Green has observed
among the American people was the in
and callousness with which
they read of regiment of soldiers

flesh in single attack on trench

aside as matter Of no consequence.
Loss of Red-8iooded Men.
Up till January 10 Of this year s.
100, ,OO0 men had been slain in the war
and 100000 manned and wounded to
an extent that they were reported att

What does it mean for the world to

claimed.

duced to twenty states: New York,
PENNSYLVANIA, New Jersey, Connecti-
cut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Rhode Island, Texas, Missou-
ri, Louisiana, California, Nevada, Wy

Kentucky, Ohio and Delaware. OF
these twenty states, the majority have
local option laws Of one kind or an
other restricting alcoholic trade.
In numbers of states, therefore, the
"drys" are in the majority, as a result
Of last falls elections. The bulk of
the nations population. however, is
still in wet territory. They will un-
doubtedly remain there SO long as New
York, Pennsylvania and Illinois remain
local option states. The Bryan prohi-
bition campaign is dependent on the
south for its greatest support, as the
list of dry" states shows. Down
south the question is largely one Of
negro control Drunkenness among
negroes has terrorized many sections
and is responsible for the stringent
anti-liquor laws here.
While the far west has joined the
south in the movement, there is no evil
dence that the big states of the east
are likely to do So They seem to be
content with existing law.-Exchange.

times, the chairman and secretary are trying to solve the many daily prob lems in satisfactory manner, both to employer and employee.
 So far we have not had a regular committee. but the chairman and sec retary have talked over matters of importance when necessary. In or der to notify the public that the r. W. C. A. was trying to serve the com munity in this capacity. two ads were inserted in the Review for eight days, which brought results in the way Of many applications.
 It was decided that a call meeting of representative members of Women's organizations of the city would prove helpful in getting the sentiment of the public in regard to certain mat ters in connection with this depart ment. Such meeting was called Oc- tober 18th. and the different phases of the work discussed. The following organizations were represented: Epis- copal Ladies' Aid, Mrs. Bryan; Pres byterian League. Mrs. Ellinwood; Twentieth Century Club. Mrs. Cobb; Women's Club. Mrs. Bledsoe; Mrs. ]. NJ. Rose, chairman; Mrs. Colton. sec retary. The committee discussed the necessity of advertising and decided 10 announce to their various organi- cations the need of registrations by both employers and employees. The chairman also telephoned the Liberty bond workers to inform people while upon their house to house canvass of the city. Mrs. Cressey was given the sample employment cards and blotteI in order to ascertain prices of print ing same. The committee decided that it would be best to only make charges to nOu-members of the assO- citation of a small'fee of 10fs of first weeks wages from those receiving regular work.
 A small fee is asked of employers for services rendered These fees on ly cover necessary expenses of car. rying on the work. A bulletin board was thought to be very useful and it was suggested that cost of same be estimated and submitted to the board for their decision at the next meeting

 The second number of the Warren Lyceum course, which is held at the high school, occurs next Thursday, November 22. Perhaps the best way to describe the Montague Light Op- era Singers is to quote what some of the newspapers have been saying about them. The Wheeling (W. Val Intelligencer says: ''The Montague company of light opera singers gave most delightful recital last night. Tuneful selections from some of the most popular operas were given by this company of experienced artists. A variety of fetching costumes were used. The large audience demonstrat- ed its appreciation of the beautiful renditions by encores. and several numbers were repeated" The person mel of the company consists of the fol- lowing: Miss Altha Montague, con tralto and reader; Miss Edna Key. holds. soprano; Haydn Thomas. bass. and accompanist; John Eichenberger, tenor and manager. The program in cludes miscellaneous solos, duets, quartets, etc.; a reading from Maeter- linck's "Bluebird"; Japanese TO- nance, with selections from Mine. Butterfly" and "The Mikado." and scenes from the operas, as Robin Hood" and Victor Herbert's "SeS% made"

A program was given consisting of two piano solos by Miss Catherine Win stead, and readings by Mrs. Deather- idge and Mir. Hitchcock, and songs by the Copper City quartette.

[ quite the thing and adds a quaint touch to a costume.
 Fitch is much used for sets and nu- tria for trimming and both are compar- atively low in price. Combinations Of different furs are seen as well as In different materials. Ermine and seal and ermine and moleskin are partic- ularly beautiful. Of course a great deal of the so-called ermine is an i'm itation, rabbit fur being generally sub stituted but this does not detract any thing from it's beauty.
 The hats accompanying the sets us- ually have some touch of the fur about them. Sometimes the brim is of fur with a soft crown of velvet or the crown has band of fur around it.
 The Russian cap or turban of the soft, shor.-haired furs are very becom- ing to nearly any woman. These are almost always left untrimmed.
 One beautiful wrap of gray squirrel was made in one straight oblong piece, long enough to reach the waist line in the back. The wrap was brought around the shoulders like shawl leav- ing one end very much longer than the other. Then the corner of the short end was caught at the neck leaving the long end to cover the entire front of the gown and reach almost to the op- posite hip line. This was held in at the waist line by a narrow belt of the fur fastened with an old jade buckle set in silver. The short end hung loose meeting the other end at the hip line and the wrap had the appearance of a short fur coat. The lining was of old blue crepe de chine. An untrim- med toque of taupe velvet was worn with this wrap.
 One long, straight. taupe velvet gown had wide band of natural Aus tralian opossum a. the hem and neck. A chimney huff wa scarried with this gown and a tam-o'-shanter of dark taupe velvet with pon-pon of the fur completed the costume.

The subject of one-piece dresses is, at present, almost inexhaustible They are seen in every form and on every occasion. They are certainly boon to the woman who spends the after noon downtown shopping and then goes to dinner and the theatre after wards. Very elaborate dresses may be worn under the long coat and still only be visible when the coat is re- moved. When the dress matches the coat in color. the appearance is that of two-piece suit
 Silks and soft satins are very ap- propriate for afternoon dresses and may be made as plain or elaborate as one may wish. These are nearly al. ways combined with chiffon or Georg- cite crepe some way. Sleeves and vest of the crepe or chiffon give a very dainty touch as dark colors are given preference.
 Where crepe or satin is combined with velvet or serge, in many cases, the material of which the bodice is made is carried down on the skirt forming a yoke or tunic.
 The shallow hip yoke is coming to the front and makes an attractive fn- ish at the top of skirt: These yokes are not necessarily close fitting and in some instances are a con .inuation of the lines of the skirt itself with less fullness.
 The surplice bodice with sash ends tying in back is more popular than ev. CT. It adapts itself well to the new, soft, clinging materials and is usual ly becoming. Girdles or belts of some sort are seen on all gowns but seldom are any two made alike. They are wide or narrow, crushed or plain closely fitted or in sash effect accord ing to the type of gown. The woman who designs and makes her own clothes has a chance to show her orig inality and good taste. The woman who is short waisted can use the waist coat effect on sash ends with good re- suits.
 Panels are among the new features. Sometimes they are a continuation of the bodice and hang loose from the waist and at other times the waist line is distinctly defined. They may be simulated by plaits at either side of the front and ending the girdle under a plait at each side.
 Rows of buttons with corresponding button holes of braid are used a great deal in trimming. They are used up and down the side front to give a panel effect and many tightfitting sleeves have a row of buttons from cuff to el- bow.
 The side-draped skirt continues in popularity while the tunics caught up at the back are beginning to cast their shadows ahead in an adpotion of the old-fashioned hustle. Fortunately the resemblance is not marked.
 From all indications this bids fair to be season of furs More of them are making an appearance every day. Beaver has come back again after a long absence and is used for small neck pieces to wear with tailored suits. Hudson seal is very smart combined with broadcloth and velvet and the re- suit is luxurious in the extreme.
 Large shoulder capes of moleskin are being worn with street dresses in place of coats. Nearly all furs are left in the natural colors and the bizarre looking furs of past season are gone.

 We are using the greater part of this crop to feed our livestock and poultry while we confine our own ce- real diet chiefly to wheat.
 Does this seem fair when the de mands for wheat by our allies is so tremendous? We could easily use some of this corn for ourselves and thus spare more of the wheat for those who will starve unless they have it next winter. In doing this we will lose nothing in nourishment. Pound for pound corn is fully as nutritious as wheat.
 The South Atlantic states have known the value of corn in cooking for a long time. For this reason we can turn to them now for many deli cious recipes. The following. for in- stance, is a favorite breakfast or lunch con dish with them:
 Cornmeal WaffIes
 One cup milk, three-fourths cup of flour. one-fourth cup cornmeal, two teaspoons baking powder. one-half tea spoon salt and one egg.
 Add beaten egg to milk and add to dry materials, well mixed.
 Doesn't that sound good?
 And here is another delicious recipe for mullins. Make them once for breakfast and then see how many mornings go by before your family be- gin to ask When are you going to have those cornmeal mullins again?'
 Cornmeal Mullins
 One cup milk or water, one and a third cups flour, two-thirds cup corn- meal, one to two tablespoons fat, one to two tablespoons sugar. one egg, four teaspoons baking powder, one half teaspoon salt.
