Reviewing the war situation, a
cable dispatch from London indicates
that the climax of the war has pass
ed. The British and French are push
ing forward in Flanders, toward
Cambria and north of Verdun, while
the Italians have halted the Teuton
drive from Asiago, Jerusalem is near
it's fall and the last important force
in German East Africa has surren-
dered.

We notice some of the Ocala res,
taurants are keeping the sugar bowls
out of reach of their customers and
asking the man who calls for cup
of coffee if he will take one spoonful
or two. This is all right for reason
able men, but it is hard on the sugar
hog who is used to spading into the
sugar bowl like a soldier in Flanders
trying to dig trench in expectation
of an enemy's battery turning loose
on him any minute.

The Wauchula Advocate criticises
Ocala BARRIERS for charging 35 cents
apiece for haircuts. The Wauchula
BARRIERS don't make much out of the
Advocate man, who, we understand,
has Mrs. Advocate turn a washbowl
upside down over his dome and clip
the fuzz around the edges. So, we
suppose, he thinks he should try to
save little expense to the bachelors
and widowers, who are not as CRATE
full to him as they might be.

Secretary Baker is quoted as say
ing when in Jacksonville that he wish
ed Senator Fletcher could remove the
national capital to that city for at
least a part of the year so that he
(Mr. Baker, could spend some of his
time in the town by the st. Johns.
When Mohammed, from a hill top
outside Damascus viewed that city,
he refused to go any further, because,
he said, it was granted a man to en-
ter only once into Paradise How
ever, we suppose the art of singing
the bull was old, even in Mohammed's
day.

them for that.

who knew Mr.. Flagler in his prime
can testify that he was generous tho
not prodigal, that he took a genuine
pleasure in making improvements,
and seemed to think more of what
the improvement would be worth to
the country than the profit he might
make from it. He was one of the
big men who play the game for the
sake of the game and not for the

The food administration advises US
to use fish instead of meat, as it is
nutritious and costs less. This used
to be so, but when the fishermen add
to the price, and you have to subtract
the bones, fish cost as much or more

NEW USE FOR GIRDLE NOW
Not Designed, Like Those Of Other
Days, to Hold Material in Posi-
tion About Waist.

There are interesting examples
where the belt has a fringe, or at least
a fringe attempt, made of hanging me-
dalliOns or coins of graduated length.
In this there is a resemblance to the
girdle of the chatelaine, from which
hung the keys of the castle or the more
humble dwelling, betOkening the sta
ton of the wearer of the girdle.
There is this difference between the
girdles of other days and those of the
present: The former were meant to
tighten in the material about the waist
and to hold it in position and prevent
the lower part of the garment dragging
on the ground.
Now the girdle does not touch the
waist at all, but is posed below it and
has no mission whatever as regards the
adjustment of the dress material It's
object is to accentuate the long lines
now popular, and so long as it does
this in a hammer TO enhance its own
decorative quality nothing more is re-
quired of it.

WHITE FROCKS FOR STREET
Revival of Muslin, Wolfe and Chiffon
New and Unexpected Feature of
Seasons Fashions.

It is difficult to remember when
in the summer as they are now. The
revival of muslin, vOile and chiffon in
dead white, with the addition of n huge
straw hat TO give color to the costume
through its chaplet of flowers, is a
striking note this summer, says a New
York correspondent.
The checked and striped ginghamS.
the wool jerseys, embroidered in col
ored or metal threads. the Scotch plaid
skirts with coats of solid color, are fea-
lures of fashion with which we have
been familiar since May 1, but the re-
vival of white frocks for all the af-
fairs that are taking place in the
city's life is something quite new and
unexpected.
Along with these white gowns are
launched alluring mes OF lowered
muslins, Irish dimities and figured
voiles. AT any one of the smart res
taurants at the lunch hour a large ma
jOrity of women look as if they were
dressed for garden parties. Short
skirts, slightly draped flounces, over
skirts, simple bodices and cape collars
OF muslin are exploited in the kind OF
lowered design which we associate
with tea under the trees.
Sashes in pale blue, citron. hello
trope and deep yellow have come back
into the picture of clothes. They are
made of satin, t%affeta, and. often. of
chiffon. They are wrapped around the
waist one oil twice and tied in the
traditional bow and ends at the back.

PLAYERS with A PAST"

lace, Veteran of Veterans, Shows
Trend of the Times.

Major league magnates and mana
gers are showing Il strong preference
this yea for ball players with a
past"
In ordinary times the big league
pilots pay little attention to pill toss
ers who have seesawed back and forth
from the minors to the big show. They
usually break their necks bidding for
the ~''phenOmS" who spring up in the
tall and uncut sticks, and they have
paid some fabulous prices for this class
of players.
But 1917 is no ordinary year The
majors have been slow to sign young
sters and seemingly eager to jump at
the chance of getting players who
have had big league experience, but
who. because of age or some minor
defects, have failed TO stick on big
time.
The recent signing of Bobby Wal
lace by the Cardinals is n most vivid
example of this tendency. Bobby

Less Unemployment Likely
In America in Near Future
As Result of the Great War

At present. and In all probability in
the near future. according To Il re-
port of a medical committee on social
assurances reported i'm the American
Medical Journal. this country will have
less and less unemployment. and there
is no question that with the war and
with the destruction Of life and peo-
pies in Europe. i'm the very countries
from which. in recent years. this coun-
try has drawn its vigorous unSkilled Ia
Dor. the immigration which has come
To these shores 81 abundantly will enOr-
mouSly diminish. and there will be 4
dearth OF labor and a rise in wages.
At present however. there is no
question that ever in good times the
wage of this country are I'M
employed for from one-iifth To me
fourth-2O IL - per cent-of the work
ing days Of the year. Those who are
dependent ON their daily wage have
thus TO consider Il further diminutiOn
Of what is apparently their actual wage.
All Investigations ON the amount of
wages have shown that about four
fifthS of the men and nineteen-twenti-
ethS of the women arm less than 5000
n year In support their families. and
this amount of wage is not able. even
in this country. to support those fam
lilies ON a fair standard of living. This

LINES ARE SIMPLE

Ine most remarkable event of the
present season was the great "Foire
de st. Sulpice." organized by the Fran
co-American Committee of the Sc
cours de Guerre." This wonderful fete
was held in the courtyard of the old
Seminaire st. Sulpice and it attracted
immense crowds, says Italia De Vii
Tiers, a Paris correspondent.
Some of the dresses worn at this
notable fete were lovely. None of
them were really elaborate or intri-
cate In design, for il is not considered
correct nowadays TO wear elaborate
gowns, but the outline of the moment
is essentially picturesque and becom-
ing. Fragile materials and long,
straight lines made all the beautiful
women look like ~goddesses.
For example. take the exquisite cos
tune by Worth which was worn by the
Contesse de Chabrillan, and which l
have sketched. The material of the
quaint, short-waisted dress was soft
white tuSsor silk and the long coat was
composed of white silk jersey cloth and
pure white wolfe.
The border of jersey cloth was rich
ly embroidered in the same silk on the
transparent voile which formed the
loose sleeves. With this costume a
hat-brimmed hat in leghorn straw was
worn and a little bit of rich color was
introduced on the band which circled
the high crown in the guise of a cluster
of ripe cherries.
