ference III the designs for street suits
between those of silk and those Of
wool. In the foreground Of the pic
ture there Is q suit Of satin and near
enough for comparison, one Of wool.
Their lines and style features are very
puch alike. The silk suit has skirt
with more fullness ut the front than
usual; 1t is plain and hangs straight.
The coat, in the mode of today, Is
uneven in length with long points at
the front. It's body is extended at
one side to form part of a wide girdle
where three fancy buttons finish It.
These buttons appear again as a deco
ration on the sleeve where 1t flares
at the hand. F...-

II looks as IL there were about as

hears women who have no need to
save money, saying and repeating It,
that they are not buying wool clothing
at all. They intend to look to cotton
and silk to supply them with what
they need, for this summer and they
are doing this from patriotic motives.

Value of Entertainment
of Soldiers Proved When
Band Is Sent From U. S.

A letter recently received in this
country from Col. William Hayward.
former New York public service COM
missioner, illustrating the value Of en-
tertainment for soldiers, describes the
sensation produced In France by a
negro band from the United States.
whose membership also included mu-
sicians from Cuba and Porto Rico. The
cost Of organizing the band and send
ing 1t to France was $4,000, which
was paid by Daniel g. Reid.
When subscriptions were being
raised Mr.. Reid was the first man
asked to contribute. He asked the to-
tai amount required, and when told
$4,000. he is said to have remarked /:
"Tll pay the whole check"

Quoted the orchestra Of the Forty

Hayward in his letter also said:

absolutely nothing about the war or
how it's going except In our own little

Pig Skins, Now Wasted, Good
For Shoes, Finest Saddlery,
And Fancy Leather Articles

There has been an enormous de-
crease in cattle and hogs in the United
States and elsewhere. There are T.
100000 fewer hogs in this country than
there were a year ago. Hogs play a
most important part In the present
crisis. The losses from cholera have
been enormous, and the government is
sending hog cholera experts into the
states to help in the work of cholera
control.
There Is one source Of loss that
should be considered. and 1t does not
pertain to disease, writes George 81.
Glover Of the Colorado Agricultural
college. Leather Is scarce, and in the
countries that have been the longest in
war, the scarcity Of leather Is possibly
causing the most concern. Pig skins
are wasted and they make the finest
of leather. It has been tested, and
found to be highly satisfactory for
shoes and 1t makes the finest saddle
and fancy leather goods.
The rind on pork chops is not nee
essary, in the modern methods Of cur
ing meats. 1t is paid for by the con-
sumner, Is a total loss, and Is a con-
slant menace because Of the fact that
uncooked pork rinds in garbage spread
hog cholera.
OF all the. domesticated animals
the hog is the most prolific, makes the
greatest gains, provides the greatest
variety of food products. thrives on
the greatest variety Of foods and or
dinarily gives the quickest returns on
the Investment. At the present time
nothing should be wasted. Why not
save the pig skim

one egg, two tablespoonfuls of corn
oil or any other vegetable fat; a tea
spoonful Of soda, two teaspoonfrls
Of baking powder. a teaspoonful of
salt, and two cupfuls of sifted barley

ley flour makes excellent pastry with
out the addition of wheat flour. In
using barley when baking powder is
used. increase the quantity of the bak-
ing powder slightly.
Potato Yeast Bread.
Take three cupfuls of hot mashed
potato, firmly packed when measured,
two teaspoonfuls each Of salt, fat and
sugar, a half yeast cake dissolved in
fourth Of cupful Of luke-warm wa
ter, and six cupfuls of wheat flour.
Put third Of cupful Of hot water
with the salt, fat and sugar In a bowl,
add the potato, mix we'll; add the
yeast and one cupful Of -four; knead
or stir in the flour at first, adding one
cupful at a time; it will be very stiff
at the last, but with good kneading 1t
will be smooth. The second kneading,
because of the moisture in the potato,
will be soft: add no more -four.
When it is light, knead into loaves and
when again light. bake In a moderate
oven one hour. This makes two loaves

The Kansas City Star: DR.. r. l.
Wilbur of the food administration
was asked the other day why the
administration did not get publici-
| ty agent and have printed some of
the things he said so effectively In
his address to the City club. His re-
ply was that all he had said had
been repeatedly printed and seemed
novel only because it had come to his
audience in a new Way-by the ear
instead OF by the eye.
That is q truth that few persons
recognize. One may have read
Peary's account Of his discovery of
the North Pole. But If he hears Peary
tell about 1t he gets an entirely new
idea Of the adventure. The same
thing holds good in the case of pic
lures. A cartoon may illuminate a
political issue better than yards OF
printed comment.
The fact Is we-as a race-have
been reading for only a half century
or so. We have been using our ears
and eyes for millions of years. our
brains are more wildly impressed by
the spoken word and the picture than
by series of arbitrary scratches on
the page which we have to translate
into ideas.
That is why it takes an idea a long
time to make Roadway when il is
merely written about. It has got to
be talked about. and perhaps even
presented in the movies, before it
really sinks in.

The happiest moment in a mans
life should be the moment when he
puts on a United States uniform and
offers himself to his country and to
humanity. liz lis at this moment that
he feels the greatest thrill in his life
the thrill OF Americanism.
These words need very little ampli-
fication. Think a moment on their
significance and the consistent HIS
toric truth represented by them.
Can you stand on Plymouth Rock
or Bunker Hill without your blood
coursing' faster? Can you read the
story OF Daniel Boone and the long
list Of sturdy pioneers who drove
back the savage Iordes and pushed
forward the horizon of civilization;
can you recall the stirring career of
John Paul Jones and the valiant
men of the infant navy who cleared
the seas and made them safe for the
Stars and Stripes; can you recall the
dash and daring of Stephen Decatur
and his associates who broke the
power Of Tripolitan pirates and won
the way for the freedom of shipping;
can you tell your children about
w dSAllLBLUn anu his pdLAAQLlC dAHllAGH
that gave life and vitality and power
to the Declaration of Independence,
without this thrill of Americanism?
This is the wonderful story that
runs through the whole fabric OF our
national life. the story Of the persis-
tent, COURAGEOUS self sacrificing fight,
often against discouraging odds. for
human freedom and the right OF the
to make the most Of HIM
self. we tell of the fearful struggle
of the Civil War with its intense
Abraham Lincoln and the
birth OF the Emancipation Proclama-
ton. Can't you see the children thrill
as they listen and their eyes grow
bright with the thought that they,
too, are American citizens?
And all this panorama OF splendid
and fighting for right,
Justice and equality is but q back
ground of the present world strug-
gle in which we have our part as
comrades of the Nations that are up-
holding the things most dear to man
kind. What a timid, pitiful figure Is
he who shrinlzs from the sound of
the fray and hears not the glorious
call to the coIorB, the summons to do
a mans work I'm an Americans way!
Thank God, the spirit of our faith
ers still lives eNultant, athletic, pur-
posefuI and determined.

Trinitrotoluene, the trotyl of the

Americans and British is the most
powerful and the most commonly

plosive shells are loaded with IL. IL
is the force which makes the torpedo

marines when, in depth bombs, 1t is
exploded in their vicinity. 1t was
trinitrotoluene which caused the
recent disaster in Halifax.
And this substance, holding such
great potential powers of destruction
in its seemingly innocent pale. yellow
or white crystals is q product of our
harmless domestic coal tar. Or rath-
er it is a grandson, as il we're, of
coal tar. Toluene, more commonly
known in methyl benzine, is the base
Of trinitrotoluene, and toluene is de-
rived through a. process of disttlla-
ton from coal tar.
Toluene contains much hydrogen,
and in the process of manufacturing
trinitrotoluene, these hydrogen atoms
are replaced by nitro groups. This
process OF nitrosubstitution permits
many variations in the arrangement
