NOT EXEMPT BECAUSE OF
 FINANCIAL EMPLOYMENT

Little Rock, Jan. 25,.-It is held by the war department that the wholesale dry goods business and financial em- ployment are not industries. and that there is no provision of the selective service law which permits exemption or deferred classification on account of such employment.
 A waiver was requested for q man who is in excellent physical condition except that an old injury caused by a gunshot wound in his left shoulder prevents his raising his left arm above his head He has full control of both arms otherwise and is an expert bricklayer. It is held that the man should not be accepted until the call for men not fully meeting the physical requirements is issued.
 Adjutant General England has called upon the local boards for list of white bricklayers whose registra- tion cards have already been received and classified. Those finally classi- fled in Class Q, or in any of the four classes on agricultural or industrial grounds, should be immediately called for examination, and if found physi- cally fit, be inducted into service and forwarded to Kelly Field, San An tonic, Tex.

falls Austria's cause of forcing mod crate peace, Berlin proceeded to speed the Lenine regimes decline. Every pretense of instrumentation was promptly dropped by the German delegates at Brest-Litovsk and the threat of the sword was uttered in place of oily phrases of "just and honorable peace"
 Russia was told plainly that the time for quibbling is past, that no further postponements will be suffered and to make up her mind whether she will make a peace that will leave the Baltic provinces outside her new from tiers. If not, it was added, the Baltic port of Reval will be occupied by the Germans within a week. Thus, in a moment when her chief ally threat ened to use her weakness-and the weakness of Russia-Bolshevism as a weapon to force a non-annexationist peace, Germany resorted to the doc urine of the "irop fist" to impress both upon her ally and on Russia the fact that as far as she, Germany, is con- cerned, might is still right and will be employed accordingly.
 In this procedure Berlin is playing the Ukraine against Russia proper.

IMPRESSED BY MoToRTRUcK
Farmers Could Not Help but See Value
Of Machines as They Carried
Immense Loads.

Farmers in nearly all parts Of the
United States have had impressed
upon them the value Of the motor
truck for farm work. The railroad
congestion and the shortage of rail-
road equipment made It particularly
necessary during the past Eve or six
months to send new trucks overland
from the factories and to handle large
quantities Of freight, such as or
dinartly would have been handled
by the railroads. by using motortrucks.
These conditions took the trucks
out into the farming districts In great
er numbers and with greater fire.

saw them hauling immense loads on
the paved roads and on the ordinary
roads Of the country and could not

There is vogue for organdie- and
for net and other gossamer weaves-
but most of all for organdie. 1t is
used for frocks and for hats and in
all its long history never appeared in
lovelier conceits. 1t is made In flower
like colors and seems to suggest
quaint styles to designers who make
the most OF its sheer, crisp texture in
frocks that are as irresistible as
spring blossoms. Frills, narrow laces,
in ruffies and insertions, ruchings and
sashes just naturally follow in the
path of organdie and everybody
wears this utterly feminine material
from the little three-year-old to her
grandmother.
So, in a summer when everything
that looks like extravaganza is taboo,
we may expect that w0mankind will
simply revel In organdie. 1t is made
In white and all the lovely light colors
yellow, lavender. pale green, rose,
blue and pink and in plain and cross
bar weaves. Plain skirts with knee
deep or even deeper hens make place
for frills of lace or organdie, or are
left untrimmed to be worn over lace
trimmed batiste petticoats. Older
women choose light green, lavender
and white, and younger ones include
these with yellow, blue and rose
shades. The effect of the pale colors
over white is particularly good when
fracks are made with tunic skirts like
that shown In the picture. The very
deep hens contribute something of
the same advantage In deepening pale
tints over white.
The lovely frock pictured In white
cross-bar organdie with little trim
ming in bauds of thread lace on the
bodice is pretty enough to please the
most exacting girl graduate and SIM
pie enough TO belong to her. 1t has

more appealing.
Baked apples, stewed prunes, baked
pears or bananas, figs, dates and fresh
berries when they agree with the di-
gestion, are all most palatable. Canta-
loupe which is scored out by small tea
spoonfuls, sprinkled with bit of salt
or sugar and served in a pretty glass
cup or dish, is much more dainty than
when served in halves or sections. Wa
termelon may be served in small balls,

Custards of various kinds are all for
the sick one; the more eggs they con-
tain the more nourishing they are.
Junkets of various flavors are also
good, and when topped with spoon

satisfying dessert. In all desserts u.s.
ing milk or eggs the freshest and best
are always to be used; the slightest
suggestion of any flavor not just right
will be more quickly noted by the pa
tient than 1t would be the case In
health.
Plain ice creams are invaluable as
refreshments In case of fever and

Soups and broths are foods which

well cooked; chicken is especially good
and because of its short fiber 1t is cas-
lily digested. Small quantities well and
daintily served viii not often be re-

Sponge cakes are the best for inva-
lids. and all puddings should be of the
simplest kinds. Gelatin In various
fiavors will add variety; tapioca. rice
and cornstarch are good when well
cooked.

There is a strong struggle going on
this early in the season between the
straight and the draped skirt. Both
are leading fashions and neither one
is new. but the ultra-smart woman in
sists that the draped skirt is better
than the straight one, and she is up
held by many of the dressmakers. On
the other hand. there are hundreds of
women who say that the draped skirt
has been so featured In cheap mate

exceedingly commonplace. The strug-
gle makes skirts interesting and In

The following. from Important
Items" published by the Southwestern
division of the American Red Cross,
are facts that are interesting to all
the chapters:
Knitting.
1.-The president has called out anoth-
er army of men. This means hundreds
of thousands more sweaters-million
of socks. Many knitters have slack
ened their work with the coming of
spring. Fall seems so far off that it
is natural to think there is plenty of
time to get ready for it-but this train
of reasoning is perilous. The task is
a big one. Only the steady day-by-day
work will count-not the squirt Of en-
thusiasm when the pressure comes.
Utilize every moment Garry your
knitting bags on the street cars or the
farm wagons, or wherever you are.
There will be greater need of knitted
articles next winter than there was
last. 1t Is true that yarn has been
hard to get. But much of this short
age can be overcome If none of 1t Is
wasted for any purpose for which
substitute can be found. Let everyone
who can get any of the yarn for socks
knit socks and let those who can only
get the heavy yarn knit sweaters with
out charge. An arrangement is now
under consideration for the collecting
and refo0ting of worn socks In order
that there may be no waste.
Chapters should knit In the follow
ing proportions: For one pair wrist
let's knit one muffier. ten helmets, 80
sweaters. 100 pair socks. Our men
abroad are In constant need of socks.

PRIVATE GARAGE
IS INEXPENSIVE
Motor Life Gives Illuminating Aid
to Car Owners in Construc.
ton Of Building.
SAND FLOOR IS PREFERRED
Grease, Gasoline and Water Are Alb
sorbed Instead Of Staying TO Mess
.ThIngs Up-Much Easier on
Tires of Standing Cars.

A new department has been started
In Motor Life. In 1t the motorist finds
practical experience to guide him In
building the inexpensive private gar
age, with comprehensive plans and
notes.
Some of the advice Is Illuminating:
eff you prefer you may have cement
floor in the garage. but for several
years past have used fine white sand
about three inches deep. The cost is
about 81 or 81 cubic yard and three
yards will be ample for your needs.
Grease, gasoline and water are abb
sorbed instead of staying to mess
floor to bring the clean sand to the
top. A little heap at the far end
makes a most convenient bumper and
lessons the chances of banging into
the rear wall, I've found. Finally,
sand is far easier than cement on the
tires Of standing cars. The shoe is
not fattened out at the point Of con-
tact but makes slight bed for itself
to keep its normal shape. This Is
really a very important point, espe-
cially for folk who lay up their cars
for long time.
Wash Car in Comfort.
SBy all means have hydrant just
inside your garage, then In severe or
stormy weather you can wash the car
In some sort of comfort. Most folk
would advise an underground gasoline
tank too, but that depends on circum-
stances. Since the early part of the
winter / have not been able to get
gasoline In any quantity. The few
gallons I did manage to bring home
barely sufficed to run my pumping en-
CINE and small slectric-light plant. A
large underground tank would have
been useless investment. Anyway,
like most county folk. / have little

corrugated iron and stands at d safe
distance from all other buildings. On

underground tank is almost a neces-
sity.
Heat Not Necessary.

to heat such garage as this. but

heated next winter. 1t makes little
difference. after all. for mixture OF

going without until it hurts?
