FAMINE PREVAILS
IN RUSSIAN CITIES

Food and living conditions in Mos
COW and Petrogrsd are pitiful, accord
ing to a letter received here today
by the Y. w. c. A. War Work Council
from Miss Elizabeth Boies, who was
sent to Russia to establish girls
clubs
People in Moscow and Petrograd
are forced to live in one-room apart
ments, and are selling their furni-
ture in order to buy food" writes Miss
Boies, and adds that the present gov
ernment has taken over all available
quarters, compelling the owners to
exist in one or two crowded rooms
while the rest OF the house is occupied
by soldiers or people connected with
the new government. Many civilians
have been forced to leave owing to
the congestion.
"Our chief diet in kasha and veal"
continues the letter. Potatoes are
getting scarce. but milk and butter
can be bought and spring vegetables
are coming. We nearly expired over
a cheap soup that some ones mother
wrote to suggest to US as food posi-
bility-a can of tomatoes. oatmeal,
peppers, and a few other things, any
one of them a luxury"

ENGLISH BY SONG

CAMP MEADE, Nd. Aug. 21.-Men
who never spoke English before and
who knew only a few words of the
language are learning rapidly by
singing the popular and patriotic
songs. This method OF teaching was
hit upon almost by accident by
George A. Mahl. Y n. c. A. song
leader, who visited a bungalow where
hundreds were learning English un-
der Frederick Demberg.
Mahl sang a verse of "over There"
and then called on the crowd to join
him. Men Of ten nationalities took
up the tune at once and the words
could be clearly understood. The
men Learned so rapidly that II was de-
cided to have them take part in all
future singing along with the men
who know English.
Interpreters questioned the men
and found that they were understand
ing as well as speaking. Whole
verses they knew by heart and in

CARRY SWAGGER STICKS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE, Aug. 21.-Swagger
sticks are the latest in doughboy So
cial circles.
Not canes, but swagger sticks.
He may not have the "foxiest dude. y
his shoes may be unpolishable, and his
hat hasn't the snap" that's in a derby,
but that doesn't keep the doughboy
from being the dude OF the army. IL he
so desires.
The doughboys never took to canes.
They were monopolized by aviators
and ambulance drivers in Europe.
Swagger sticks are different. They
add poise to a mans strut, and IL
anyone has earned the right to strut
in Uncle Sans army, II is the dough
boy. To do it right, he's adopted the
swagger stick.

PARIS MUST HAVE
ITSFASH|ON SHOW

PARIS Aug. 2l.-while the German
guns are laundering day and night only
forty-six miles from Paris, hundreds of
girls and women are working fever
lshly, preparing for-the great autumn
fashion show.
Despite the perils Of ocean and trans
channel travel. millinery and gown buy
ers from the big establishments on Fifth
avenue and oxford street. and even
from faraway Buenos Aires and Rio ia.
Metro, are already ficcking to Paris for
the opening autumn shows.
Here and there on the boulevards the
'last-minute" things in women's hats
and gowns for the coming season are
appearing. The German menace to
Paris has utterly failed to shake her
position as the worlds fashion capital.
At recent meeting OF the Chambre
Syndicate de la Couture Parisienne. AN
association of the principal gown-manu-
facturers, the modlstes protested against
the reports that the big establishments
were curtailing their activities on &C
count OF the danger to Paris.
Nine. Paquin. president of the
Chambre. said that the autumn show
would be as great an event as ever
in the fashion world.
"All of tn big places are busy this
very moment" she said. preparing
their collections for the coming au-
tumn season. and we will hold our
usual grand openings in August with
as much display as usual
I'VE want our American and Eng
lish customers who come so far to
see our semi-annual shows to know
that we will not desert Paris. We
will have the same number OF models
and designs as usual"
Already many New York buyers
have arrived for the autumn and win
ter selections.

Easy Way to Stop
Waste of Food

In this country alone rats destroy
and spoil over two hundred million
dollars worth of foodstuffs every
year, so why delay using a reliable
method of ridding our homes, stores.
and warehouses of these wasteful
pests? Probably there is no easier
nor more effective method of exter-
minating rats than Stearns' Electric
Paste, a scientific product that has
been used successfully by the U. S
Government in its different campaigns
against the rat A small box, costing
only a few cents, will usually COM
oletely free the house from rats and
nice. II will also effectually destroy
t.ockroaches- and waterbugs.
