without buying hat.
She wore long bright green cape
over her dress OF plum cOlored SILK.
That was the only way the chance GUS
toner could distinguish her from the
other saleswomen, for she was working
Just as hard as any of them.

Government Fears
Efforts to Destroy
Munitions Plants
War and Navy Departments to
Keep Names Of Contractors
Secret

Washington. April p. Great appre-
hension is entertained by the military
naval authorities that An organized
effort will be made in this country TO
destroy munitions plants. 1t is believed
that information OF n definite sort has
been acquired which justifes unusual
precautions. It is proposed by the
War and Navy Departments to main
tain as war secrets the names Of the
concerns throughout the country on
gagged in the manufacture Of all sort
of supplies.
For this reason. and in the line Of
this policy Of secrecy. Assistant Secrc-
tary Of the Navy Roosevelt to-day re-
fused to make known the names Of the
firms which will manufacture the en-
zines to be installed in the submarine
chascrs. He candidly admitted that
his action in this particular was 20

hand. bidders who have business rela-

that this is an excess of zeal, which
will operate to the disadvantage Of the
government, as it will prove OF annoy
ance to sub-contractors and those who
supply material to the major con
tractors. I'm addition to this, it IS
pointed out, secrecy in r-Gard to the
contracts awarded will lead to posi-
bilities Of fraud and prevent that check
on prices and other considerations
which can only be prevented by req
sonable amount Of publicity.

WHISPERS MAY COME
INTO STYLE AGAIN HERE
War Times Conducive to the Growth
OF Foliage on the Face.

War Times Conducive to the Growth
OF Foliage on the Face.
The London newspapers are pre-
dieting that the full beard will come
into fashion both in Europe and
America as the result of the war.
War has always influenced the style
in whiskers, even so far back as the
time of Alexander the Great, who re-
quired his soldiers to shave off their
boards because a beard was a handle
which an enemy could seize.
The British military campaign
which ended at Waterloo made the
mustache popular in England. Many
of the soldiers in that great battle
were mustached, and the returning
troops excited the envy of young men
civilians and the mustaches of the
soldiers were copied.
The Crimean war in the SOS
brought the full beard back into fash
ion again. In that campaign British
soldiers spent long months in the
trenches, where they had no chance
to shave. Their boards grew, and
they wore them when they returned
to England.
The civil war in America gave the
mustache great popularity here. This
has given way to the clean shaven
face as the prevailing fashion, al
