Aprons have always been interest
Ing; they are of so many kinds and
proclaim so plainly that they are In
tended for real use in substantial ac-
tivities or are merely decorative and
trivial. But times have changed with
aprons, and now the most wear-resist-
ing and useful of them are required to
look well, to possess style as well as
strength. Necessity and patriotism
have given the apron boost, and now
we have Service aprons and "bunga-
low aprons" shapely and neat. worn
by women who are doing things for
themselves and others which others
used to do for them.

perhaps that is exactly what they are.

Goat Milk Is Valuable.

Milk from the goat has probably
been used for food purposes ever since
the advent of the first "Mrs. Gotee,"
and the chances are that it will until
time is no more. In Europe the milk
goat is one of the most popular of do
nestle animals, and more and more
it's popularity is growing in this coun-
try. What thoroughbreds we have are
kept on feather mattresses, almost,
and fed the best and choicest that
the market affords. We are just be-
ginning to see what the "baa baa" can
really do and what it is actually
worth.

The Irish "Long Car"

There was a time-and it was only
as long ago as the last century, too
when the Irish travelled about their
country on odd little cars. They were
called .long cars" and they We're moi
very different, really from the "out
size cars" which are still commonl!
used in Ireland. But the outside cal
carries no more than two persons OF
seats, while the long car carried some
times as many as sixteen passengers
in all. The luggage was piled up ii
the middle.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-03-02

The time has come-it is here this
minute-to consider the tailored suit
for spring. 1t is an agreeable duty
because the season has in store some
happy surprises for us in novel trim
ming ideas and in ingenious combina-
tions of cloth and silk. Designers have
been asked to conserve wool and have
responded in way to reflect honor on
themselves by furnishing models chat
use little cloth but are so clever,y de-
signed, with such attention to good
lines and so much originality in finish.
that we may give thanks for the neces-
sity which mothered such fine inven-
tions. Make up your mind to have n
sprightly suit for spring; because this
years suit has characteristics all its
own.
Among them are to be mentioned
the introduction of vests which are
made of silk, brocade, crepe, pique and
of plain fabrics handsomely embroid-
cred. Somewhere at the front-the
sides of the coat may barely meet, or
just fail to, they are held togeth-
er by one or two link buttons. In
other models fronts are cut away like
a mans dress coat leaving an eXpanse
of handsome waist coat to entice the
eye. White cloth collars and cuffs,
with collars heightened into revers are
another feature that add to the at
tractiveness of spring suits and they
belong to an attractive class which
includes suits with collars, revers and
cuffs of figured or plain silk.
Narrow braid and small buttons ap-
pear in coats not otherwise decorated,
The Colorado statesman., 1918-03-02

and ingenious cutting redeems the
plainest suits from being uninterest-
ing. A suit of this character is shown
in the picture, of serge bound with
silk braid. Its lines are trim and
graceful, the coat original in cut and
of medium length; many are shorter
and few longer. The fronts Just meet
at the waistline fastening with link
button there.
Skirts might be disposed of very
briefly by describing them merely as
plain. They do not indulge themselves

they are to be- had ready made at
such moderate prices that it Is ques-
tion whether there Is any economy in
doing the work at home or not. 1t
depends upon the time one has to
spare and what can best be done
with 1t.

Forty seven years ago a mutilated
scrap of paper" "a garbled tele-
graphic message amounting to for
gery) precipitated the Franco-Prus-
sian war-which Bismarck had been
planning on for several years before.
Except for the first little scrap all
the great battles Of that war (17)
were fought on French SOIL The war
lasted seven months. At its close
France was required to give up the
greater part of Alsace-Lorraine "a
territory nine times as large as Trego
county, containing one and one half
million people at that dme.) She also
gave up the Fortress of Metz. She
was required to pay an indemnity
one billion dollars, and a German
army remained in France until it
was paid. The German army occup-
led the city of Paris, for a time, and
King William of Prussia was crown
ed Emperor of Germany in the palace
OF Versailles-the crowning insult to
and humiliation of the French people.
Following the example of Bismarck
the present rulers of Germany plan
ned this present war and have so far

sooner all this is done the better it
will be for the German-speaking peo-
pies, themselves, as well as for the
rest of the world. And there can be
no safe and secure peace until it IS

fought its battles outside the German
boundaries and largely upon the soil
of peaceful people whose neutrality
Germany had agreed to respect No
peace can be real peace until at
least part of the foregoing conditions
are reversed.
Sixty years ago Austria and Prus-
STA were rival states. The Formations
of the German empire at the close of
the Franco-Prussian war put Prussia
in the lead and made Austria. her
slave. All of which may help to ex-
plain why the Hun believes he was
born to rule the world.
Decoration Day is the biggest day
of the year to the people of Trego
county and has been so for long
time Succeeding years and succeeding
wars only add to its POPULARITY and in
crease the number of people who OBJ
serve the day. And so it is likely to
continue for a thousand years after
the present generation is dead and
gone. The people will observe Decor
alton Day without orders or ordin-
ance because the sentiment that is
beneath it is stronger than statutes
or ceremonials, civic or otherwise.

1t was Cain who asked "Am nv
brothers keeper?" The present war
is the answer to that question, and
the answer is "YES", most positively.
In all their wars of the last fifty
years. and more, the people of Prus-
lsia have not been brought face to
face with the horrors of war. They
have carried warfare to other lands
and to other peoples, instead. No
doubt the people of Germany are suf-
fering hardships but they have not
been made to feel the terrible suffer
ing, the degradation. and--devastation
they have imposed upon other peoples.
They must be made to know what it
is by all means. The horrors of war
must be brought home to them. Any
peace concluded with them before they
have been made to realize what war
means to a conquered people in a sub
jugated land would simple prepare the
way for another war as soon as Hun
pride can get ready for it. The Haps-

patriotic meetings have been held in
the building and its demonstrations
since that time; in the Revolutionary
war and all our wars, in abolition
times and whenever the times demand
ed that free speech should have utter
ance, observes the New York Sun.
No political campaign in the old
days was complete without mass meet

to listen, to applaud and to show its
displeasure. What a wellspring of in
SEPARATION the picture of Webster reply-
Ing to Hayne has been for two gen.
erations The sight of that quaint
and homely building, as one approach
es 1t In the hustle and tide of city life,
brings back the stirring scenes of Rev
olutionary days when it got its name
OF the Cradle of American Liberty.
Faneuil hall, with its market below
and meeting hall above, is to be re-
stored to the original fabric and de-
sign as well as may be, and to be made
as secure as possible against fire. In
1761 all but the shell was burned. Not
since then, we believe. have the build
Ing and its additions been seriously
threatened. Yet it has always been
deplorably combustible. Here is what
the finance commission has to say
about it:
In the basement the floor tinbers
are unprotected. The refrigerator
rooms are packed with cork. The cork
and the unprotected timbers give an
opportunity for fire damage in this
part of the building. The windows
are of common glass with wooden |
sashes and present danger from fire !
on the outside. Over the upper hall |
there is a dumb waiter running from /
the room used as a kitchen which is
constructed of inflammable material"
And there is much more of the same
kind. 1t is a painful thought that
modern Boston has neglected the Cra-
die OF American Liberty. Such, how
eyer, seems TO be the case.
What columns of grief and reminis-
cence there would have been if fire had
Quilted it and leveled its wallis Big
