v YELVET gowns with rather high N rounded necks are popular for theatre wear These theatre gowns differ from the more elaborate luncheon gowns only in the fact that their colors are more brilliant.
 Chiffon velvet in shades of blue, rose, Nile green, castor and pearl gray de- velops these gowns in charming sim plicity of line, with bit of vivid con- trast in the facing of tunic or apron.
 Sometimes Mime. Francis uses a deep collar of rare old la3e as the only trim ming. These collars are frequently as deep as capes, being the old-fashicEed berthas reversed or cut to the proper shape. Duchess lace, Point Venice, Brussels Point and Van Dych lace are exquisite against a velvet background.

 The same little right angle idea is used on the sleeves, above pufffngs of velvet. let in at the elbow. Below these outings run the long tight velvet cuffs which complete the picturesque sleeves. These cuffs are pointed over the hands.
 Tke round neck is faced and Hes tatly against the flesh. It is cut away sufflcl- ently at the sides to show the shoulder beyond the founded column of the neck.

WHERE TO SAVE YOUR POUND.

MT. Hoover, who has the happy fac ulty of making our duty in the matter of food very concrete and practical, has told us that if every person saved, either through actually eating less or by avoiding waste, a half pound of breadstuffs and half pound of meats and fats every week the food problem would be solved. Of course, some per sons should do more and some persons, who already have as little as is con sistent with efficiency and health, should do less or nothing. The aver age is pound per person a week. To make this even more concrete, notice the next time you go to a pro- vision shop how little half pound of cheese or a half pound of liutter or meat amounts to. Notice how little half pound of bread amounts to. You will see that you have little to do if you do your average. If you are at least comfortably off you should do more, for the chances are that those who are In very limited circumstances already consume their minimum amount and with work for all and tho greatest demand for strength and efficiency laid upon the wage earners, 1t is doubtful If we have any right to expect any further economy on their part.
 Well, then, perhaps you should save more-a pound and q half perhaps is
 no more than your share. Here is
 splendid way to do it: Omit between
 meals Of course, if you are old or an invalid, you may find 1t advisable to
 take between meals. The doctor may
 have suggested it. But that is another
 matter The normal adult usually gets
 along far better on a strictly three
 meal-a-day basis than when tndulging
 in between meals.
 But you may protest you seldom
 have any between-meals save possibly
 a cup of tea In the afternoon, and the
 sugar you use in your tea is part of
 your tEo pounds month ration. You l are even conscientious about that
 You consume neither breadstufs nor
 meats and fats at that between meals
 On rare occasions you indulge in lit tie candy which you always select at
 the candy shop from the sorts that are
 made with a minimum of, white sugar
 Likewise, you take little fruit some times between meals, but there is nc ban on fruit.
 Yes, that is the usual regimen. Bu in the ordinary course of events there . are three or four times during tht week when you actually do take sub stantial fourth meal, supper after . the theaters an elaborate afternoon tea, a wedding reception repast, or {
 bridge party refreshlnent served in th' , afternoon. And these meals, as yol
 well know, contain considerable quan , titles of both breadstuffs and meat' t and fats-which latter class includes 7 all "beef, pork, poultry, dairy ant vegetable oil products"
 :, It is hard sometimes to refuse thes' s meals. But at least you can do this If you partake heavily of late after t noon refreshments you can abstain from any hearty dishes at dinner I Many persons stoutly refuse the lat supper, and in that way save nor U than their share, and Incidentally pu themselves in. better physical trim.

Color Blindness,

"Many persons have the mistaken idea that color blindness causes a con- siderable number of the railroad acci- dents," said veteran of the line re- gently. During the early part of my fife, when I was in railroad work, physician who examined TOO applt- cants for positions as railroad men found only one who was color blind. Several of the applicants. however, did not know the proper names Of the colors. They were able to group and match test samples accurately enough, but were uncertain when asked to pick out certain colors and name them"

 All bands have been instructed to refrain from playing within two
 blocks of any church during service hours so that there will be no in terruption of worship, but on the

 In order that there may be no in terruption of the musical program the Canteen Service of the Bridgeport | Red Cross has arranged to serve | luncheons tomorrow to all the band 1 men and to the central committees at | the school headquarters. Through the ! courtesy of Walter B. Lashar, chair man of Bridgeport chapter, these i luncheons will be prepared in the restaurant of the American Chain Go. and rushed by automobile, at the
 noon hour, to the schools where they
 are to be served.

 at this moment" said MT. Bassick,
 land the rest is up to the city of Bridgeport.
 q have every confidence that the
 enrolment will be 100 per cent, not
 only as a matter of individual pride
 and loyalty but for the honor of our ] nation and the credit of our city"

PERFIDY OF THE HUNS
 IS SHOWN IN UKRAINE

Washington, April 1s.-In carrying out their plan to make the Ukraine an AustrO-German colony, the Central Powers intend to dissolve the Ukraine Rada and to install an Austro- German government, reports reaching the state department today said.
 The Germans already have cut of completely communication between the Ukraine and Russia. It has been established, said the report, that na- tive officials are being replaced with Austro-Germans and that Austro- German money is being forced into circulation.
 The latest dispatches on the situa- tion contain the statement that the arrest of all entente officers in the province has been ordered.

their faces. He did it because he is over here for service. The l M. c. A. in France is really and truly "on ac- tive service"
 Sammy marvels at the wonderful roads and beautiful scenery of France; he thinks the chateaux and old-fash- toned forts, with their meats and mas sive masonry are marvellous. To Sam my the little spindle-wheeled railway trains are as ridiculous as the village streets are confusing. Sammy, repre- senting the wealthiest and most ex- travagant nation in the world, is apt to be boastful of his great industries at home, of his modern methods of business, of his enterprise in master ing a difficult situation by the applica- tion of wide-awake ideas. He is apt to be little intolerant of many French habits and institutions.
 But his heart is with France and the fight for democracy. If he goes West in the attempt, well and good. It is all in the game. He has thrown his hat in the ring and he is going to see it thru no matter what the cost. At a score or more of training camps he is exhibiting this spirit. While learning all that he can from his French and British instructors, he is applying little Yankee ingenuities of his own. Hardly situation arises in the task of learning modern warfare but that the American soldier comes forward with some little original scheme to make the machine better. He has caused no appreciable varia- tion so far, but he will before the war Is over. Sammy is going to contrib ute something before long to the ex- termination of the Boche and the early ending of the war.
 Thru it all there is spirit of levity which takes it's place beside the seri- ous side. A group of negro steve dores, laying rails for the new rail- road which is to connect the seaports with the front, paused to execute the manual of arms with their shovels. Then they returned to their work, sig ing familiar negro melodies as they handled the heavy iron.
 The other night I passed camp where some batteries of trench artill- cry are preparing for their first thrust at the Hun. They had apparently been learning the mechanism of the French Fifty Eight No. g." Out into the clear night air came the words of new song, improvised to fit the tune of Down in the City of Booze:"
 Working on Fifty Eight Twos,
 Die any death that you choose,
 Get hit by a shell.
 Then the gas gives you hell
 Grenades wake you up while yoa
 Your family is proud of you now:
 They are sure to collect that ten
 thou.
 Ten days to each man
 Is the average span.
 Working on mortars. those jelly
 trench mortars.
 Those damned little Fifty Eight Twos.
 So it has been all over France. American grit and good humor are pushing the war work shoulder to shoulder with French valor and spirit, which has never Jagged since the first success at the Marne. and with British tenacity and thoroughness. Some day in the near future these elements are going to combine and strike to- gether on the western front. Tie time for tie blow is problematical but it will be just few weeks before the treaty of peace.
