Fashion Points of Interest.

There are four things in fashion that
are often discussed today: The severe
nncOllared neck line, the short sleeve,
the cape back and the lack of chiffon
blous@s. A dreSsmaker drew q pa
irons attention to the absence Of the
latter garment because of the preva-
lence of one-piece frocks, and told how
the shirt waist people were depending
upon wash blouses to continue their
business. Sailor collars are not smart.
High collars that roll upward at the
back and down in the front are not at
tached to coats. The collars that go
on bodices of one-piece frocks end be-
fore they reach the collarbone, and the
rest of the decolletage is untouched by
any line of white.

mas present-gave him an inspiration,
and ne acted on it, with the result that
he was soon crawling out of town on
an interurban local.
He arrived at the home of his
fancee, the only n he had left, late
in the afternoon, and accepted an invi-
tation to dinner.
81 won't reveal the disaster until l
get food" he told himself, with the
treatment from his other fancee in
mind.
When the meal had been concluded
and the two young people were alone,
Arthur, with considerable misgtvings,
unfolded his tale of woe.
"I'm just a poor hotel clerk" he aid
with a choking voice, $50 I've come to
release you from our engagement"
There were tears in her eyes as she
| took one Of his hands in both of hers.
"Why?" she inquired, on the verge
Of sobbing. Don't you care for me
any moreT'
He felt dazed; this treatment was so
different.
"Yes-yes," he replied, somewhat
huskily, "but you don't want to marry
me, now that I've got to work for
small wages the rest of my life"
She wiped her eyes with a tiny
piece Of silk and then looked ardently
into his grey ones.
"Arthur Calkins,'' she said earnestly.
81 don't care for your money. I'd mar
ry you if you didn't have any job at

| ed. "that won't be necessary"
That night, when he returned to the
hotel. Arthur Calkins found a letter
awaiting him. 1t had been written by
Lawyer Trueman Just before his death
and had been delayed in the mail. One
paragraph said:
"My Dear Friend Now that feel
my strength going, I want you to know
that I remained faithful to my trust.
You will find the two hundred thou

about the future; you can have this
job as long as you want it."
Thanks" Arthur responded, more
dryly than gratefully, and went out to
Investigate. He learned that not d
single valuable paper or cent of cur
re.lcy had been found in Mr.. Trueman's
Office or in the adjoining apartments
where the lawyer had led his lonely
life. Arthur spent O. restless night. Ee
had been counting on that money, FER
ticularly as he anticipated becoming
some ones husband-just whose %as
not yet to be determined.
In the afternoon he went walking
along with fresh air. A short distance
from the hotel he all but collided with
n Acknowledgment girl, who was
swinging along with a naughty gait
expressive of a do-you-know-who-I-
am demeanor.
"How you startled mel l was just
going to see you"
A smile lit up his face. Here was
some one who could comfort him.
"Come ahead and see me, then," he
suggested. "Tll go back and l guess
we can have the drawing room to our
selves"
She went, and he told her of the de-
velOpments of the last twenty-four
hours. For some reason, however, her
enthusiasm over the engagement had
vanished, and instead of the sympathy
he had a right to expect all he received
was a diamond ring he had presented
to her a few weeks previously.

More,s Capable DAUGHTER.

The demand that women shall be
paid mems wages for mems work may
represent a desire for justice rather
than a desire for gain; but money
fairly earned is sweet to the hand and
heart. San open field, an even start,
no handicap, NO favors and the same
goal for ALL" Which reminds us that
Sir Thomas More had a clearer per-
ception of the value Of woman's work
and a finer sense of justice than some
of his sex possess. "My Meg is better
unto me than ten sons" he said, "and

Condor Largest Bird of Prey.

The eagle is commonly spoken Of as
the largest of the birds of prey. This
is wrong. The largest is the condor,
a South American vulture. The condor
is a native of the great mountain chain
Of the Andes, especially in Peru and
Chile. 1t lives in a region of perpetual
snow, from 1900 to 10000 feet above
sea level. The length of the male con-
dor is about As inches, and the span
of wings when extended is nine to ten
feet. The plumage of the male Is
glossy black. with gray on the wings
and white on the margins of the wing
coverts.

We a face another year of work
with immense confidence, in the light
of the recent report of the American
Red Cross on it's expenditures in EU
rope and America. This report is a
revelation and an inspiration. 1t is
more than a matter of duty now to be
a busy member of this wonderful,
wholly modern and efficient OrganiZa-
ton. If this report stirs no pride of
country in the heart of the woman
who reads 1t she may be sure her soul
is about dead-or held a fapishing
prisoner by her self-centered mind.
To be in the midst of a world of
good deeds and to take no part m
them-when the way is always open
can you imagine it?
What happens to your dollar when
you send it forth on its errand of
mercy through the medium of the
American Red Cross was explained
in a statement issued as a prelude to
the opening of the campaign for an
other $1O0,000,OO0 war fund. The
magnitude of the work which the
Red Cross is doing on all battle
fronts and for American prisoners in
Germany is disclosed by the figures:
Relief work in France. ..$30,936,1O JOB
Relief work in Belgium. 2,OS6,131

To Wash Silk STOCKINGS.

If time permits silk stockings should
be allowed to soak for a short time be-
fore washing in tepid water to which
a little powdered borax has been
added. Then wash them in a tepid
soapy lather first on one side and then
on the other, paying particular atten-
ton to the feet. Pull the stockings
gently into shape before drying, and
when nearly dry press them on the
wrong side with a cool iron.

Heavy Demand for Rubber.

The world discarded $4,000 tons of
automobile tires during 1915. Adding
to this the large number Of bicycle
tires thrown away every year by their
owners, 1t appears that the world
spends every year at least 100000
600 for pneumatic tires alone. Nearly
100000 automobiles r now in use
in the United States. To supply these
with tires nearly $1,000 tons of India
rubber are needed every year, and the
American automobile wne pay every
year as much as $500, 1000 900 for tires.

every woman can furnish one or both
of these in some measure. Recently
the Red Cross ladies in a Kentucky
town held a constructing bee for n
grain merchant who found it difficult
to get laborers. They worked to the
merry tune of SIS, which cash they
turned in to the Red Cross, thereby
making themselves justly famous as
an enterprising chapter. They are
proud and we are all proud Of them.

NOT NEARLY GOOD ENOUGH.

An American Red Cross worker
behind the British front, after a re.
cent battle, tarried to hear British
major, mounted on a wagon tongue,
addressing the men of his battalion,
The men had finished nights rest
after three days of the hardest kind
of fighting, recounts the Red Cross
man, and the major was announcing
that they were "going in" again thai
day.
'"There will be no withdrawal. We
are not going to give an inch" de-
clared the major. 81 want to see yor
fight harder than you ever fought

PATHOS IN HIS IGNORANCE
Remarkable Lack Of Simple KnowI-
edge Shown in Experiment Which
Caused Mans Death.

On June %, 1774, at Plymouth,
England, a man named John Day
lost his life in a manner singularly
exhibiting the great ignorance of the
simplest physical facts which pre-
vailed at the period. Day fancied he
had perfected a plan by which he
could remain below water, at any
depth, and without any communion
ton with the air, for at least twenty
four hours; returning to the surface
whenever he thought proper.
His machine was merely water
tight box, attached to old metal by
means of screws. After entering the
box, and closing the entrance, the
vessel was sunk. Day was provided
with a bed, a match, a taper and a
bottle of water. The continuance
was his tomb through want Of knowl-
edge now possessed by every child.
The British Magazine of Arts,
Sciences and Literature, a preten-
tious periodical of the time, gave
four probable reasons for the failure,
but does not allude to the most pat.
ent one-the want of air.

kept PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained Al.
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World lie Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest whea,
crop the only limitation upon Ameri.
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping Between July !
and October 10 we shipped 65,9SO3O5
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237 100000 bushels of wheat and
flour in terms of wheat.
The result of increased projection
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been thai with the cessa
ton of hostilities we are able to re-
turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia.
Argentine, and other hitherto inacces.
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have white loaf at the com.
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep q
steady stream of wheat and flour NOV
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus of
20,OO0,G00 bushels And yet Europe
fopirU tho M &c
famlne-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall By the first
of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution Of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord RhOndda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only if we sent an additional To-
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was S5,000,0O0 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January l and
July 1. Out of a harvest. which gave
us only 20,000,0OO bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141, 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.
