A Robert Browning Story.

Tennyson wore the same hat year

green with age. How long exactly he
had had this hat nobody seems to
know. His Inverness cloak was not
quite so ancient, but had long since
seen its best days. The great poet
was scrupulously clean in his person.

WAR SITUATION Is
VERY FAVORABLE
By Wireless)
(Special to The Silver State)

The German offensive in France
after seven days of terrific fighting, is
now beginning to show signs of losing
its momentum. The progress of the
enemy has materially slackened and
the form of the dent made in the
allied line west of Cambria has begun
to resemble the familiar wedge-like
salient, instead of the broad, straight
forward movement of an offensive
which carries all before it. At its
apex this wedge has gone beyond AL
bert, to the south of that place, and
is to the westward of the old allied
line as il stood a year ago when Won
Hindenburg began his strategic re-
treat" From this point the line runs
off to the northeast at a gentle angle
with the line to the south, running
back until il reaches the Oise river.
In spite of tremendous exertions and
terrible losses, the German efforts to
widen the tip of this salient were de-
feated The British lines have stood
firm to the north and have forced the
Germans to turn southwark toward
the point of least resistance.
Official statements issued at London
confirm the report from Berlin that
American forces are figuring in the
struggle They are reported as fight
ing shoulder to shoulder with the
French and British in the region of
Roye. on the south side of the salient
driven into the allied front.
With the slaekening of the German
pace there are indications that the
allies are ready to strike back some
where along the front
Just where this blow will be
launched will not be known until it is
struck, but IL may be expected that its
impact will be terrific. 1t is known
that the allied war council at Yer
Sails created a great strategic re-
serve of men TO be used in just the
contingency which confronts the ar
mics which have borne the brunt of
the fighting since last Thursday morn
ing. This force will be launched
when and where il is believed it will
break the force of the German on
slaught and send the enemy rolling
back over the desert from which the
British have slowly withdrawn. Mean
while the Germans are losing four
men to the allies one and the outlook
is bright

NEARLY LOSES EAR
IN DEMO BRAWL

Word comes from Denio, Ore, that
Jimmy O'Neil was hit by "The Jack
of Spades" real name unknown, and
knocked to the floor On the way
down, Jimmy hit his head on a wood
box and nearly tore his ear off. He
was brought to this city for treat
ment, the trip consuming three days,
due to motor and tire trouble. The
last leg of the journey, from the Toll
House to Winnemucca, was covered
on foot. The injured mans ear was
just barely hanging on and laid down
over his cheek. That he suffered ex-
crutiating pain during the slow trip
to this city is self-evident.

Psychology Of War
On Women's Dress
BY LENA MADISON PHILLIPS,
Y. w. C. A. National Board Secretary
for Business Women.

Work while you work and primp
at home" is the new slogan for the
woman in business. With the call to
her new duties brought about by war
has come to woman the knowledge
that to succeed in business she can
not think Of her clothes during office
hours. The old fashioned idea that
woman is always clustering about her
dress is rapidly being Killed in action.
If the business women are to meet
the demands of the present day chal-
lenge, thus fulfilling the promise of
their past achievements, the stand
ards of the average woman must be
raised as a means thereto, and the
raising of standards means sensible
dressing. TO appear at the Office with
fuzzy hair, high heels and the primp
Ing attitude; to work all day with one
eye on the clock and the other on the
mirror had tendency to lower stand
ards Ideas on the change in the at
tire of business women have been fer
menting for some time. One clever
woman has even gone so far as to
work out the fact based on a canvass
and statistics that the woman who
was always fussing over her clothes
and primping during office hours did
not get her salary raised.
With the coming Of the war swoman's
work has been made real, and all
these fermenting ideas are fast being
crystalized. Women have found the
waists that muss on the slightest prov
ocation, like chiffon, and otherS mate
rails designed for the drawing room,
impractical for the real work they are
now called upon to do. They have
found that high heels advertise weak
ness, and those who are doing Uncle
Sans work must think OF their feet
in terms of strong ankles and strong
arches. They have discovered, above
