HAND TUCKING ON BLOUSES
More Elaborate Models, imported From Paris, Show Marked Tend
 ency Toward ColIarless Style.

The subject of blouses Is one which arouses perennial interest in the minds of the feminine portion of humanity, and the recent importations of French blouses are enough to arouse the en- thusiasm of even the merest man, de- clares a New York fashion letter. The great majority of them, even the more elaborate models, are developed in fine voile, handkerchief linen and batiste. There are, of course, a number of de- signs in Georgette, crepe de chine and chiffon.
 On the whole, less lace and button trimming Is being used on the blOuses this season than last; hand embroidery Is largely supplanting these. Hand tucking Is being extensively featured this fall with very good effect, espe- cially on fine white linen blouses de- signed for wear under suit.
 The more elaborate models show a marked tendency toward the new col larlesS style. In some instances the absence of the collar is covered by the introduction of hemstitched yoke, in others there Is small collar hung from the shoulder seams.
 Some of the more extreme styles show sleeves of the full bishop vari- ety, which are gathered in to very tight cuff at the wrist. Sports blouses have rather tight sleeves, with deep cuffs reaching almost to the elbow In some cases. Speaking of sports blouses, a great many novelty materials are be- ing pressed into service in their mak- ing. Wash satin in all the popular pastel shades perhaps leads the list. the dark taffetas in brilliant stripes are close second.

FRENCH WOMEN THINK 2
 PERSHING HANDSOME
Commander of the American Army Is Popular With
 People in France.

General Pershing, with his military bearing, his manly air and his defereu- tlal courtesy toward women, is never-ending source of interest to the French people. Especially his last mentioned trait has impressed itself upon the French writers. One of the important Paris dailies has devoted q series of articles to the American com mander's life history with sidelights as to how he Is looked upon in France, and personal description of the gen eral.
 It is as follows: Tall, erect self confident, he wears his uniform with an air of genuine coquetterie' that attracts the admiration of the entire feminine populace of Paris. What a handsome manp the women cry as he passes by surrounded by his staff officers.
 And, if we mistake not, nothing could be more flattering to this hon. | ored soldier. In the official recep- tions, the banquets that are rendered him, 1t is the noble courtesy of his | manners, the succinctness of his words, the spirit Of the man that one remarks in General Pershing. He is not one who talks a great deal, but what he says, he says well.
 "When the first American troops | disembarked on our shores we cannot | forget the words with which the gen. eral received them, For the first time in history American soldiers find them selves on the soil of Europe. The | good name of the United States de. mands that our conduct be ire | proachable. We must, every one of us, show toward the Frenchmen, and more particularly the Frenchwomen, the most perfect courtesy and our re- spectful deference. The least repre- hensible act would bG doGbly so here because it would be breach of hoe. pitality.
 Nothing more! No promises of epic glory! No laurel wreaths dis tributed in advance. No flags way ing over rose-crowned heads But his soldiers understood these few brief words and showed q tactful discipline That is Pershing!"

COLOR LIKED IN NECKWEAR
Surpiice, Shawl and Tuxedo Shapes are Favorltes Although Sailor Type
 Has Not Been Discarded.

A bit of color is liked in the neck wear as we'll as in the new handker- chiefs. Indeed, 1t may be said that several of the mouchOirs can easily be matched up in color, if not in fab ric, with the new collars and cuffs.
 The neckwear sometimes comes in net, fine lawn, batiste or organdie and the edging Is done in colored net fne- ly plaited. Frequently there Is no other ornamentation. The surplice shawl and Tuxedo shapes are prime favorites, although they have not made the sailor type passe by any means. The latter is liked for young girls and for children and frequently 1t is used to impart a note of youth to froCks of silk or satin.
 Because 1t has been found more and more difficult to get fine embroideries the prospects are very promising for q vogue of lace of the better sort. For many years lace has been less fash ionable than embroidery, particularly in neckWear development.
 Therefore, there is more good lace to be had and some of it will now be used up for the adornment of smart dresses and blOuscs This lace use has reference to varieties other than filet and venice, which have been popular for some time.

LIVING LAWN MOWERS
Sheep to Cut Grass in Rocky Mountain
 National Park,

Little Bo-Peep may be seen in vari- ous sections of the Rocky Mountain National Park system next summer, if a plan being advocated by those in- terested in conservation programs is accepted. It is pointed out that sheep can be used to good advantage in the vicinity of Estes Park, as well as in the numerous municipal parks of Den yer, for moving lawns"
 Great expense is involved in keep ing the grass cut in Denver's beauti- full parks and sheep are said to be ex- cellent lawn mowers" The city fs- thers of Denver have also been much impressed with the suggestion that snow-white sheep attended by dainty misses dressed as Dresden shepherd esses would greatly enhance the pic turesque landscape.

GASoUTPUT INCREASED
New Production Record Set by
 American Fields in 1916.
Volume Used Amounted to 753.17o. o5a.. 900 Cubic Feet, Gain of 20 Per
 Cent Over 1915.

Statistics compiled under the super- vision of J. D. Northrop of Uncle Sam's geological survey, show the volume of natural gas commercially utilized in the United States in 1916 was greater than that so utilized in any other year In the history of the natural gas in- dustry. The volume used. which amounted to 753,170,253,O ,OOO cubic feet constitutes new record, exceeding by nearly 125,000,000,000 cubic feet. or 70 per cent, the former record, estab- lished in 1915.
 The average price of this gas at the point Of consumption was 15.96 cents thousand cubic feet and it's total market value was $120, ,227, ,468, a loss Of 0.16 cent in unit price, but a gain of $1S,915,0S7, or 1S.6 per cent, in total value compared with 1915.
 Credit for increased production of natural gas in 1916 belongs, in the or der given, to West Virginia, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, California, Louisiana Kansas, Texas and Arkansas, which together produced 132, ,OO0, 100000 cubic feet more gas in 1916 than in 1915. Significant increases, important local ly, but unimportant us affecting the production of the entire country, are credited to Illinois, New York, and Montana. In only two states was there significant decrease in the production of natural gas in 1916. The rapid exhaustion of the prolific Cleve- land field, in Cuyahoga county, O., re- suited in loss of some 9.6 billion cubic feet in the total volume pro- dueed In Ohio, and the steady decline of the old fields in Indiana caused q falling off of 0.6 billion cubic feet in the output of this state.
 The general Increase in the produc- ton of natural gas in the United States in 1916 Is attributed principally to an enormous expansion of the cas- ing head gasoline industry in all nat ural-gas producing states and to a greatly augmented demand for natural gas as fuel by industries engaged in the manufacture of munitions of war. The influence of this demand is shown in the increase in the volume of gas and in the increase in tine value of gus consumed, its effect being sufficient to lower the average price per thou sand cubic feet of all gas sold in 1916 1 per cent as compared with 1915.
 The principal beneficiaries of the increased production of natural gas were, in the order named, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kansas, West Vir- ginia, California, and Louisiana, which together consumed some 104000,000- GOO cubic feet more gas in 1916 than In 1915.
 Of the total volume of natural gas produced and consumed in 1916, 1t is estimated that 235,3S0, ,76i 900 cubic feet, or 31 per cent, was distributed to 1862, ,494 domestic consumers at an average price of 2S.63 cents thousand cubic feet, and that the remaining 69 per cent, or 5177S9, ,4S9,0O0 cubic feet. was distributed to 1S,27S industrial consumers at an average price of 10.21 cents a thousand.

Statistics Show Big Increase as
 Result of War.
NOT So WITT! TIE ENEMY
Germany and Austria Show Marked Decrease in Births and Weddings
 Proportion of Male Births in Eno- land NoticeabIy ncreases-Popula- ton of Great Britain Increases, While Decrease Is Shown by Enemy.

Crudely stated, said Sir Bernard Mallet, in his presidential address to the Statistical society, according to the London Daily Chronicle. the war had resulted in 100000 persons in the United Kingdom being married be- tween August, 1914, and June, 1917. who in the ordinary course would not have married. The marriage rate for 1915 was the highest recorded-l9.4- the previous maximum being in 1853, which was 179.
 Referring to the marriage statistics in enemy countries, in Hungary the ef- feet of the war had been that more than 6OO,0O0 persons who in the or dinary course would have married had not done so. In Prussia, Bavaria, Sax ony, HeSse, Hamburg and Bremen, six states containing more than 80 per cent of the German population, the total number of marriages In 1913 was 434, ,1O3 and In 1914 392, ,453, q decrease of 41,050, or nearly 10 per cent, in spite of great outburst of war marriages during the first month of the war.
 The Birth Rate.
 The loss of potential lives to the bel ligerent countries by the decrease in the number of children born was, per haps, the most important effect pro- duced by the war on vital statistics. In birth the United Kingdom had sui fered far less than Germany and Hun gary the United Kingdom having lost 10000 per million of the population, Germany 10000 per million and Hun gary 10000 per million. As regards in- 1916 had been lower both in the United Kingdom and in Germany than in any previous period of like duration, but the summer mortality in 1917 appeared to have been extraordinarily high in several German cities, and the German rate all through remained at some 30 per cent higher than in this coun- try.
 More Boy Babies.
 Some curious results were noted. An UittTullOH III tne sex TdIlO OI DlTln appeared to be established by the fig urcs of the United Kingdom, especially by those of England the proportion of male births having notlceably in creased. Contrary to expectation. the war had produced no effect upon the figures of illegitimate births. De cline in suicides was another interest ing feature.
 Comparison between the natural in crease or decrease of the populations showed that whereas the population of the United Kingdom was now some what greater than at the beginning of the war, in spite of all losses of life in the army and navy Austria Hungary and Germany had each suffered a de crease of some 600,0OO, in addition to losses in the field outside of these countrles-perhaps total decrease of at least four millions.
