Fashions and Fripperies
Nothing Like "0Iden DAYS.

The decadence Of, the American
Smart set" is often commented on
its devotion to dogs instead Of babies,
its lavish expenditures on dress and
knicknacks, its waste Of good money
on monkey parties" drink and high
living.
Whatever justice there may be in
these criticisms, America. certainly
has not as yet descendedsto the Jewel
of the fripperies and follies OF the
past, as represented by the fashion,
able sets OF former times. A glance,
for instance, at the article Costume
in the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
with its pictures of men and women
of fashion in the sixteenth and fol-
lowing centuries, will convince even
the pessimist of the truth of this
statement
What American idler could be
enlarged with matching in his daily
routine the eighteenth century lord
who boosted to Casanova OF his
changing shirt several times a day,
his chin being shaved on each ocea-
sionf Or where is the lady OF fash

It is imperative that every young woman in our United States. secure in the enjoyment of Liberty and Hsppi- ness, should do her bit" by taking the place of some young man who is per forming Iheroic and valient service on the battle front.
 In previous conflicts, women have not been unresponsive to our country s call and the women of today.will like wise spring to the fore and do man g part wherever they can.
 The need for young women today k imperative. Not only is there a short age of stenographers in all government departments at Washington, but pri- vate firms .all over the country must have stenographers and office help to 6ll the gaps caused by the war
 It is a splendid chance for the young womanhood of America to serve.

AMERICAS CAUSE FOR WAR.

The new German policy swept every restriction aside. Vessels of every kind, whatever their flag, their character. their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warn- ing and without thought of help or mercy for those on board. the vessels of friendly neutrals along with those of belligerents. Even hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people of Belguim, though the latter were provided with safe conduct through the prescribed areas by the German Government itself and were dis tinguished by unmistakable marks of identity, have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or of principle.

DOCTORS ON STAND
 DIFFER ON QUESTION .OF VAWTER'S SANITY
Prosecution Devotes Itself Largely to This Line of Evidence During Day.
 Sensation Over

Christiansburg, Va, May 4.-The prose- cution in the trial of Charles E. vawter for the murder of Stockton Heth. Jr., devoted itself largely today to efforts to prove that Vawter was sane when he wrote Heth asking him that a whisky bill be paid, and that The could now love Mrs. Vawter with less fear
 The defense rested early in the day after introducing witnesses to prove that Vawter was not drinking on the night of the shooting. The jury will be taken to Blacksburg tomorrow morning to go over the Vawter home, where the tragedy occurred on the morning of March 3.
 pr. J. A. Knoblin of Radrord, in an- swer to a hypothetical question, said he considered Vawter sane when he wrote Heth. pr. J. c. Bowman of East Rad ford also declared the writer of the let ter was sane. pr. w. A. Wilson of Rad ford said the missive was written by a degenerate.
 pr. T. P. Campbell, dean of Virginia Polytechnic institute, where Vawter was an instructor in mathematics, who ar rived at the Vawter home soon after the shooting, said Bernard Williams, the stu dent lodger, had told him that Heth said: Bull, l tried to keep vawter from shoot ing me. I tore the sleeve of his shirt trying to keep him from shooting me- but I could not
 Professor Vawter was recalled for few minutes this afternoon and said the col- lege authorities had not complained of his lack of attention to duty but he un. derstood students had done so
 A. N. Keith, foreman on the Heth farm, testified that at the time Professor Vaw- ter took his son to Lynchburg for an operation he overheard conversation on the telephone between Vawter and Heth ill which he said Vawter told Heth where he was going, and that his wife was going to a friends home in Roanoke and that he could find her there Keith was mercilessly grilled for what the prosecution termed his aves-dropping'' on an extension telephone at the farm.

AND VIVIAN GIVEN WONDERFUL
 WELCOME IN WEST
Chicagoans Cheer Wildly as Frenchmen Pass Through Streets Decorated With
 Flags of Allies

Chicago May 4.-The middle west to- day gave wonderful welcome to the war mission leaders from France
 It was Marshal Joffre who caught the popular fancy. He was cheered wildly everywhere. He was dressed in his serv- ice uniform and rode through miles of crowded Nreets with hand almost con- stantly raised at salute in return for the cheers of the crowds. The deepest thrills which the crowds witnessed came in the welcome of "Y oung America,' for the children never failed to recognize Papa" Joffre on sight nor he to catch their greetings.
 The party comprised 13 members, all guests of the nation on a trip which will have extended over 320O miles by the time they return to Washington. They ar rived at noon on the government spe- cial train. The half day that followed was crowded with patriotic ;outbursts, be- ginning with ride from the train through city streets overhung with the tri-color of France, the Stars and Stripes and British flags There followed in quick suc- cession the greeting of the city's recep-
 
 reception by the local French colony and French relief organizations, a reception and dinner, and finally a night meeting at the Auditorium theatre.
 At all these functions former Premier Viviani spoke in French, voicing the thanks of the French nation
 The reception at which Frenchmen and Belgians were afforded an opportunity tc meet the distinguished guests provided a d Q c raj tfOp of (xa1Iir as perhaps the middle west never saw Long before the hour set for the event in a downtown hotel, wind-swept Michi- gan boulevard was thronged with thou sands of persons. The arrival of Mar shal Joffre, M Viviani and their escort was the signal for an unrestrained ova tion which seemed to touch the visitors deeply. Departure of the commission from the hotel occasioned an even more tumutuous outbreak, the hero of the Marne saluting repeatedly, while his eyes shone happily.
