the enemy n serious setback.
Approximately a million Austrl-

their progress seemingly has been
too slow TO be threatening TO the
allied positions. Losses are de-
clarcd TO be frightful which was
inflicted upon the Austrians.
In the mountain country where
the British are holding their posi-

heavily for every foot they ad-

ICES the work of the villages and ham
let's surrounding it. Before the war
the yearly export of boots and shoes
amounted to over $4,O0O,000 divided
among % manufa cturers. They were
of common variety, sewn by machine,
generally with nailed SoleS, and were
almost solely destined for export. But
the chief industry of Nancy is the MAX
ing of straw hats, which once flour
ished all over Alsace, and after our
defeats migrated to Nancy.
In the town itself, as / saw during
my late visit, most home workers are
employed at making hats, while the
large factories often employed a@
many as 5000 work people-and two
thirds of these were women. This
trade, of which Nancy has the monOp0-
ly in France, has been great loss for
Germany, especially for the Rhine and
Saar provinces, where, strangely
enough, most of the towns continue to
work for Nancy. The plaits, however
which serve to make straw hats, are
quite an industry in themselves. I'm
their raw state they come chiefly
from China, and are sent to Italy and
Switzerland for the bleaching process.
whence they are imported into France.
England, which is the chief intermedf-
airy, yearly imported half million
tons of plaits. But even here Nancy
was making great progress before the
war, and with groups which had
formed in Lyons and Caussade was
trying to make herself independent OF
both England and Switzerland.
Straw Hat and Printing Press.
The trade of straw hats gives rise to
many others, for Nancy, after having
received the raw material, turns out
every kind of hat trimmed and ready
for export, and for this accessories OF
all kinds are needed. What struck me
most when / walked through the large
workshops were thousands and thou
sands of bell-shaped hats, put one into
the other, forming immense pyramids
1t was the Panama hat, the light
white head cover which is so great a
favorite and almost endless in its
wear. These hats in their primitive
state are the product of the Bourbon
palm or latania, and are sent by the
republic Of Ecuador. The dressing OF
the Panama hats is one Of the great
industries Of Nancy, and it is all the
more important at the present time
when our women have been compelled
to take the place of men, for this is a
light industry, well within their pow
erS.
The printing works of Berger-Lev-
rault form one of the most interesting
features of Nancy. They are famed
not only all through France, but / may
say the world. Here is the printing
done of almost all the branches of the
French government, and the prOprie-
tors are the publishers for the minis
tries Of war, finance, police and many
other departments, for which they pro-
vide millions Of copies.

Happiness That Satisfies.

Happiness is never more real, more
satisfying, than when founded on clean
heartedness. The possessor of a clean
conscience sees more beauty in the
world around him, because he looks
through clearer eyes. He has faith I'm
his friends, because it is so easy for
the one who is straight himself to be-
lieve the same of others. He gets the
best out of life because he unconscious
ly attracts it.

may call it, has its own reward right

Camp Fire Hints.

A camp fire for cooking will ourn
with steady glow if small bag OF
charcoal is added to the wood after
it has good start. One successful
camper builds his fire in small trench
about IS inches long and few inches
wide and deep. Two fiat stones plaeed
across the top for the frying pan and
kettle give an even heat. Meat, Dota-
toes, corn and apples can be roasted
by holding them over the fire on the
ends of green, pointed sticks. An old
newspaper is useful in starting the
fire, and plenty of matches should b.
at hand.-World's Chronicle.
