MOULIN ROUGE

Clever specialties and tuneful
numbers characterize the current
edition of "The Revue Intime" at
the Moulin Rouge. Not since the
opening of this unique dining and
dancing establishment has it
ooasted such novel entertain

dred Holiday to the cast last week
the piece has been materially en-
nanced. Miss Holiday, who is a
dancer of rare ability, was added
to the cast without the usual
trumpet and fanfare that generally
precedes an artist of her calibre
and won an instantaneous success.

opened this week in the shops
and never did child and attendant par
ent have more wonderful things to eX-
claim over than the displays of 1918.
The spectre of revolution in toydom
which doomed up some time ago with
the appearance of the cargo OF Ger
man TOYS and threatened to disrupt the
peace has been nicely laid by those de-
lightful persons whose mission 1T is to
prepare Christmas joys by the use OF
numerous placards informing all Gus
toners (who can read) that eve do not
sell German toys" Even Santa Claus
worship is being permitted through the
fortunate discovery in the encyclo-
padia that the Christmas saint was
born ain Russia and died 1926, after
which his cult spread through Europe"
Merchants have added new lustre to
their holiday displays. This year the
American toy makers may we'll be proud
and triumphant, for he has not only
stocked the stores with, new toys, but
he has had them set off as was never
done before
At Wanamaker's, Toyland centres
around "Witches' Forestt," and covers
not only the entire third floor Of the
new building but overfows out into the
bridge and spans the gallery as we'll.
More than anything else it seems alive,
for the switches Forest" is not only
filled with moving contrvances, such
as giants who expand and grow higher
as they breathe, fairies who fit con-
tinually across the screen of the
Fairy's Realm, and gnomes who are
constantly grinding mill, but on the
pillars of the entire floor there are see
saw arrangements where toys are per-
petually moving in a mad whirl
Then there is the Lord G. Taylor toy
display Half of the seventh floor is
given over to the toys, and the dolls
al. ne fill an entire auditorium. One
reaches the auditorium through Candy
Lane, bordered by tall candy sticks,
and there are more dolls in all corners
and the middle of the room than one
ever dreamed of.
Americans have scored a triumph,
too, this year in the making of walk
inr doll which denends for its success
not upon wheels within wheels worked
by key which is always lost, but upon
the simple device of a loosely hinged
knee. The walking doll is a great sue
cess with the children, and comes in
infant size, where it takes two hands
to propel it, or bit older, when with
one hand one can swing it along at
stride equal to ones own.

Christmas sales; February, white; July,

Such a thing has hitherto been unheard
of, although to-day it is taking place
everywhere.
For the first time in four years the
war cannot be held directly respon-
sible for this phenomenon, either. 1t
was primarily the influenza epidemic,
which played such havoc with fall bust
ness that it stood almost at stand
still. And then peace, following so
quickly upon it, found the stores filled
with heavy stocks which, they had put
in to enable shoppers to fulfil the gov
ernment demands for early Christmas
buying.
Macy's was the first to inaugurate the
sales "to make room for incoming mer-
chandise." Here they are called Vic
tory Sales, and are taking place
throughout the entire store. Wana-

guise of anniversary Sales" and other

a small gap and that temporarily.
1t has been hoped by federal officials
and chemists throughout the country
who understand the seriousness of the
situation that the whims of fashion
might yield to national needs and that
purchasers of jewelry would demand
gold and silver or a white alloy and so
release platinum for its highest use
but the results have been disappoint-
ing.
The American Chemical society, an
organization composed of the leading
1900 chemists of the country, which
is also back of this movement, has is
sued an appeal to the people not under
any circumstances either during the
war or after the war to use platinum
jewelry. but to conserve this unique
and fast dwindIing metal now priced
at five times the cost of gold for the
exclusive use of the chemical and

in London.

London.-One of the Russian grand
dukes. known as the London Michael
to distinguish him from the other
Grand Duke Michael, has fallen from
great wealth to comparative penury as
result of the Russian revolution.
Before the war he lived in one of
the finest residential estates in the
neighborhood of London. When his
income from Russia was cut off he
subleased this property and is now a
clerk at $4,000 year in an office near
Westminster abbey. His wife, the
Countess Torby, conducts their small
home with zest and without grumbling.
Probably no family in Great Brit
ain has endured greater reverses than
this one or borne its misfortune more
cheerfully," comments the Evening

MUST CUT IN WHEAT
Need for Limitation in consump-
ton Very Great.
impression Given by Recent
News Dispatches.

Washington--Recentp press dispatch
es widely circulated through the coun-
try have given the wholly false impress
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation of wheat and
flour. The food administration de-
clares that every aspect of the wheat
situation. both present and prospec-
tive, intensifies the need for the great
est possible Limitation in the American
consumption Of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should be
in the slightest degree relaxed it would
result in serious want for the people
Of Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
The food administrations estimate
of the position on the first of June in
dictates a total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms,
in country and terminal elevators, and
mill elevators, of about 100000 BUSH
els. OF this 100000 bushels must
be exported before new wheat is avail
able for export if we are to maintain
the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies. That leaves
about 100000 bushels for domestic
consumption for the next two months.
NormaI American CONSUMPTION Is
something over 100000 bushels a
month, so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third of normal.
The harvest will not be generally
available in flour until the middle of
August or early September. although
in the extreme South 1t will be some
what earlier. So long as the war lasts,
with it's increasing drafts for soldiers
and munition workers, the world will
steadily produce less food. If we are
wise, a great harvest will mean the
willing building up of great national
reserves.
