GERMANS PEREPARE
TO DRIVE AGAINST
ALLIES IN ITALY
Men and Materials Are Being
Transferred From
RuInarlian Front

Washington, March 27.-New German
and Austrian divisions, heavy artillery
and materials continue to arrive on the
italian front in dispositions favorable
to drive through the mountainous re-
gions onto the Italian plans, official
Rome cables here said this afternoon.
Austro-German forces are being trans.
ferred from the Rumanian front. Ar.
tillery is daily "growing in intensity" "
"Great Austro Hungarian troop move
ments are reported by italian aviators
in Val Sugana," the cables said, "and
artillerying is increasing along the en-.
tire front in Val Lagarina, Guidicaria
and Astico. Indications point to a new
effort by the enemy to break through
the mountainous zone toward the
plains"
Although the situation was described
as increasingly tense, it was suggested
the threatened drive may await tho
outcome of the west front smash.

one of the two hill routes will be taken.
No work will be done by the state ON
this section this year, but the county
is expecting to do much work.
When the present grades are COM
pleted on the Pacific highway, the
state will have a macadam or paved
road reaching from the Siskyous to
Portland. The Is mile stretch in jose
phine county which has not been sur
faced will probably be taken care of
this summer, and the last work of the
macadaming of the road over the Sisk-
yous is just being completed.
Much pavement has been authorized
by the government but it is probable
that this will not be started at once.
South of Salem hard surface is author
lied for Linn, Lane, Jackson and jose
phine counties, and on the Columbia
highway pavement is authorized in Was
so, Gillian, Morrow and Union coun-
ties. Coos and Washington counties are
also favored with the authorization for

There was no longer any doubt to-
day but that Wall Street had settled

From the beginning sentiment was
good. Prices advanced in initial sales
and trading was in relatively light vol
ume. At the end of the first half hour
the forward movement was stayed,
when a few hardy room traders VEN
tured to indulge in a little short sell
ing At the same time, there was some
profit taking.
The general list eased off slightly I'm

ton was prompt in buying of the best
quality; such, as indeed, quickly to
put a stop to the incipient decline and
again force prices upward Through

strength was apparent with gains rul-

Pool operations here and there were

The high level Of prices for the day
eliminated in mid-afternoon in general

last hour the List reeeded fractionally

home cateress have the same methods
Of coaxing an often jaded appetite.
This does not mean that great expense
is necessary, for the simplest, least ex-
pensive arrangement may be beautiful.
A very pretty centerpiece was used
the other day, which almost anyone
could repeat with small cost. An OBJ
long wicker tray with pretty feathery
fern in pot dressed with green paper
was placed in the center of the tray,
around 1t were arranged punches of
grapes, few red apples and an
orange or two for color.
Fresh fruit, without which breakfast
Is an incomplete meal, is nine times out
of ten served In the same manner day
after day.
If bananas are to be served for the
meal, buy them attached to the original
stem, then arrange a background of
green, either of fern or few leaves or
even crumpled green paper and the
transformation will surprise and de-
light the eye, making tame banana
seem something out Of the ordinary.
The old-fashioned epergne Is q treas
ure any woman would covet, for 1t
lends itself to so many attractive ar
engagements Of fruit, leaves or flowers.
The old-fashioned standard silver cake
basket is another artistic treasure. A
birchbark boat. or hollow log (Which
may be bought at fiorist's) filled with
golden oranges, with the duller tone OF
few bananas and bit of green for
the color setting Is most charming
centerpiece. The fruit itself served in
this unusual way takes on a new flavor.
There is such a wilderness of bas-
kets to choose from for table baskets
that almost any color or design may be
found. A heap Of white grapes sur
rounded with bright red polished APP
pies, most commonplace dish of fruit.
Is changed by its treatment into a

willing to have the worsted enlivened
by chiffon, satin, silk or georgette
crepe.
If the women of this country under
stand what is behind the new fash
ions, they will enter into the spirit of
conservation with as much eagerness
and Jealous desire to do right as they
have in the saving of meat, wheat,
sugar and cereals.
As History Did II.
These men on the commercial econ
omy board need have no fear OF OBJ
stinacy or rebellion against their de-
cree. The women of other days and
other countries entered into the spirit
of economy in clothes with as much
eagerness as they entered into the ex-
travagance of apparel. The whole
thing is In giving women an emotional
idea which they are to work out to
completion and success among them
selves. Obedience does not appeal to
them, but cooperation through per-
suasion sends them into flame of
endeavor.
II may be prophesied right here
that there will be more novelty shown
in clothes than there has been for sew
eral years or, possibly. ever before.
1t may not be shown by the women,
but 1t will be expressed by the dress
makers.
One Of the quick ways which has
leaped into fashion for women to con-
serve wool for the army is the use Of
short, slim separate skirt with a
cutaway coat of velveteen, heavily
lined. Women who have such cos
tunes declare that they will wear
these skirts with corslet blouses of
soutached silk and satin In the spring,
thereby saving cotton for the govern
ment.
Hats made of worsted have already
been replaced by those of satin and
velvet.
Entire coat suits made of worsted
have narrow bias flounces mounted
on a taffeta or satin foundation. The
short Jacket which goes with these
skirts is so heavily trimmed with fur
and has such a wide waistcoat of
satin or matelasse that 1t can be con-
sidered bit camoufage.
Much PeItry Used.
One of the very smart gowns made
for bridal trousseau, which used up
less than AZ yards of thin wooden
material, had two bias fiounces across
taffeta skirt with a deep hem Of
peltry, and blouse of embroidered
satin with wristlets Of peltry, over
which was coatee of the wool with
wide Chinese sleeves-the only bit of
extravagance-edged with peltry and
lined with colored satin. There was
a sailor collar of peltry and a Jap
anese bow of satin pulled through
two loops in the back Of the coat, to
flare from the waistline.
There is another coat suit in which
less than four yards of wool have
been used. The skirt is narrow and
slim and extends into loose corslet
effect over the waist to the bust.
Above that is chiffon yoke with long
sleeves in the same color. The cut

worst kind, and then smile crossed
his face, as he heard the cook clatter-

But there was no answer from Mr.,
Bowser. He walked calmly over to the.
drug store. On the way over he
wilied that the druggist should greet
him with, "Hello, Bowser. was I'M

Mr.. Bowser entered the store. The.
druggist sat in a chair alone. He
frowned at sight Of the caller and
growled out:
II was just thinking you would show
your carcass In here tonight. II Is
just the night for jackasses to roam
aroundw
Mr.. Bowser turned and went out.
His force Of win carried him back
home. where he took seat on the
steps, and there Mrs. Bowser found
him nodding with sleep an hour later.

that Mr.. Bowser win not take the leo

In profound thought, though now and
then he glanced at Mrs. Bowser in a
furtive sort of way.
He wanted to ask her something, but
was a Attle afraid to. She finally
helped him out by remarking:

"He meant that the public were
