EFFICIENCY GOWN
= Is NEWEST IDEA

A number Of the importers have re-
turned from Paris with midseason
gowns. and these are disappointing. in
large measure, but q few Of them
point to something new. and their pres
ence il at least stimulating.
There are far more Interesting
sketches coming over than gowns, AZ
they purpose to be the new clothes
worn by the women In Paris who are
buying smart things.
Weod Pulp and Twlns.
The leading feature In the new
frocks IL the constant repetition of
artificial Jersey silk, matelasse and our
common friend, gaberdlne. This win
ter type of artificial silk Jersey is
thicker and heavier than anything we
have had under the oft-repeated name.
1t has the stiffness that one associates
with Il fiber made from wood pulp. It
may be, however, that we will not
have permission to make much Of 1t
in this country.
Matelasse Is being made over here,
and also the new type Of brochure
jersey silk, and the claim is that the
American manufacturers have made
the stamping Of the design more &C.
cure and durable than the French have
done.
Chanel sends over a black gown
with tunic and q narrow skirt made
Of this heavy wood fiber silk Jersey
which Is decorated In Indian fashion
with white twine and tiny wooden
beads.
The importers think that this gown
will be success.
PaquIn Is responsible for the fash.
ion of two frocks, both worn at the
same time. and 1t Is this idea Others
that Is being copied here and exploited
as an efficiency gown.
This fashion II made easily possible
by the prevailing idea Of a sleeveless
medieval tunic showing sleeves and
collar Of another fabric. Az PaQuin
works out the idea. the sleeves and
collar of another fabric are also Of an.
other color and belong to separate
gown that is covered by the medieval,
sleeveless affair of wool or some other
protective material. Al these long
tunics are fastened down the middle Of
the front or back. they are easily re-
moved. A sash Is Girdled about the
hips once or twice, to give them char.

Yo' nab the Huns that stink yo' way.

Wild enemies a campin' on yer trail;

That we hike right soon, the stars

There's a scrap today we're hopin'
And We'll send the Huns lopin'
Or land them cne and all in-well!

GUS. STERNBERG SENTENCED

On Friday evening at Eau Claire,
Gustav Sternberg of this city, con-
victed of violating the espionage act,
was sentenced by Judge Evans to one
year and one day term at Fort Leav-
enworth and to pay fine of $500.00.
Sternberg was arrested early in the
year 1918, and finally reached a
hearing in the Federal Court at Eau
Claire in August, when he plead guilty.
While in waiting at Eau Claire, before
being taken to Fort Leavenworth, he
again made disloyal remarks, which
resulted in his being returned to the
court, and he was given a severe
reprimand by the Judge, who took in
to consideration the matter of increas-
ing the penalty.

says that ministers of military age
should no more expect to stay home
than professional or other business
men. He enlisted in the Milwaukee

lowest rung of the ladder, that of
apprentice seaman. He says, 81 felt

LETTER FROM .REDD, HLAyA

entering the service was employed as
clerk at the local post office:
| Somewhere in France,
July Z, 1918.
/ Will try to write you a line to LEI
you know how I'm getting along. UI
to short time ago, I was doing fine
l mean getting along. We don't know
what it means to get settled. Was
in England short time and saw quite
bit of that country, we were on hikes
most every day there and always in
different directions. The country is
beautiful, it reminded me of those old
! English love stories / read back in
/ the States, but did not have chance
J to react any, you know I'm so bashful.
Now I'm in France, old, noble France.
| It's fine country but run down. The
people, who are filling the places,
where once young, bright faces, now
are, old and very old. Most every able
bodied man has nobly answered the
call of his country. 1t was surprising
to me the things the civilian popula-
tion are denying themselves for their
soldiers. The people in the States
don't know what war is yet. AS hard
pressed as these people are there is
not sound of regret that escapes
their lips. They look to their duty to
the country first, last and all times,
rich and poor alike, that's why l say
noble France.
The people are very kind, polite
and do almost anything to make the
boys comfortable, tho it was a hard
matter to make one another under
stood, but we are getting along fine
now, with the help of different books
and the people themselves. We are
commencing to talk the French Ian
guage. Just outside the door now one
of the neighbor ladies is trying to
teach one of our boys to count. 1t
is comical to look upon but it shows
their interest in us; their willingness
to do all they can to make us fee
at home. The lady in whose house
we are staying has had a son killed
in this war. Now she is fighting hard
to see the defeat of autocracy, which
is bound to come and is going to come.
The fourth of July celebration that
was held here was good for the size
of the town. Our Colonel was pre-
sented with bouquet of red, white
and blue flowers by the village people.
Songs were sung and speeches We're
made and regular outdoor sports
contests were on making the day one
to be remembered by the boys, who
are far from home, but still think Of
home. You don't know how good Old
Glory looked among the many French
flags that flew.
Gee, there is ball game here this
afternoon, guess I'll see some of that.
so goodbye till l get back
Here again, say that's some game,
they had. I yelled like loon. You
know how | act when | get loose, ha!
l guess I'll finish this little episode,
wishing you all health and happiness
as this leaves me in same condition.
Give my regards to all 1 know.
Give my regards to the post office
bunch and good old Wausau.
Friend REDD."

BE ON THE SAFE SIDE

At Madison, recently, nearly 400
young men were rounded up in the
drag-net in an attempt to apprehend
those who are evading the draft-law.
In Milwaukee, several thousand were
rounded up. Those who could not
show registration credentials were put
to considerable trouble. The thing for
every young man to do is to carry
these credentials and if not in the
draft age, carry his birth certificate
1t may save some trouble
