NEW KIND OF TAM IN ERMINE
Aids Materially in Tricking Out an
Old Gown to Do Service Dur
ing Early Autumn.

The woman who is looking for smart
hats to trick out with bravery an old
gown for the early autumn should ask
for a certain kind of tam in white err
mine, which is considered very smart
In certain selected circles. 1t is
copied in fine white angora and in
silk plush, and is worn by Paris wom-
en- with dark gowns that have white
collars. 1t is guiltleSs of trimming and
fits closely around the head, then goes
out into symmetrical crown, which
Is not crushed, but retains it's stiff
lines. 1t is worn without a veil.
There are notifications of this hat
caps of the Grenadiers. These sinister
looking caps which were created in
the old Roman days to terrify the en-
envy, have been made essentially friv-
olous and feminine today in their
resurrection for woman's heads by the
addition of a curious and intriguing
veil. 1t is of black mesh, worn straight
over the stiff, high cap, caught slightly
to the headband with a long basting
thread, and left to fall as it will over
the shoulders. SO far, it is quite nor
NAL, but where it departs from
normality, is in the brightly embroid-
cred figure of a sailor wigwagging
with his colored signal flag. The mis-
take made here was in the embroid-
cry of sailor; the figure should have
been taken from the army and not the
navy in order to coincide with the
shape of the cap. 1t is not unlike those
worn today by our West Point cadets
in full dress uniform.

Makino Mos Of Water Power.

Difficulties of importing coal have
developed many heretofore unprOfit-
able sources of power, heat and light.
The most important of these is the
peat boys In the western part of Den
mark. In Norway and Sweden water
power is developed to great extent
for the production of electricity, but
in Denmark there are no waterfalls
of consequence. 1t is reported that
Gudenaa, a small river In the vicinity
Of Aarhus, is about to be developed
by the municipality Of Aarhus at a
cost of $1,000,O00. 1t is expected that
about 1000 horse power will be uti-
lized.-Scientific American.

The tailor suit, which was rather

brightens it in the twinkling of an eye.

a fad for color in dress accessories.
There are collar and cuff sets Of april

white bordered with bands Of plaid
white laden with many stripes of taupe

men whose religious beliefs are along
the line of peace-at-any price. Ever
since the first draft army officials have
been puzzling over the proper way to
handle men who honestly believe that
all war is wrong. These men refused
TO drill or carry rifle or do anything
calculated to it them for killing Huns.
Doing chores around the camp, peeling
potatoes and the like, was given
trial but didn't work. There were
plenty of soldiers available for doing
that work in their spare time. A
method has now been devised by which
DIRECTORS are furloughed and placed on
farms as farm laborers. They remain
under control of the cantonment COM

Former Governor Durbin of Indiana
came to Washington and put a spoke
in the Roosevelt presidential wheel
which was revolving very rapidly up
to that time. Durbin had a conference
with a number of Republican senators
and representatives and he told them
very frankly that Roosevelt would not
do. 1t is supposed that he talked to
men who sympathized with his views.
Durbin suggested that either Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts or Governor
Lowden of Illinois would make an ac-
ceptable candidate and thought they
would poll the full Republican
strength. Speaking of Roosevelt, he
said :N"If Roosevelt should run against
President Wilson he would be the
worst beaten man that ever was a
candidate for the presidency" OF
course Durbin would modify that
somewhat, but it is supposed that he
meant since the Republican party was
organized He probably failed to recol-
Iect that in 1912 Taft received only
eight electoral votes. 1t is yet little
too early to have presidential booms
get well under way.

There seem to be two kinds
of German propaganda loose in
the United States. One of them is of
that insidious character which con-
stantly finds its way into the public
prints as news items misrepresenting
conditions in the United States and
trying to poison our people against
putting forth every effort to win the
war. The other consists of misState-
ments in regard to Germany. For
some reason or other there has been a
systematic effort made to convince the
people in this country that the Ger
man people are not in earnest in the
war; that they are not behind their
government; and that they are in
deplorable condition. Photographs
taken in Germany DURING the past
wear or two tend to show that the hor-
rible condition which is alleged to ex-
list among the people has been exag-
Gerated for some purpose. The peo-
pie who are familiar with the Germans
know that they are supporting their
government with more earneStness
than has ever been shown in any ma
tlon in Europe with the single excep-
ton of France. Evidently this propa-
Sanda regarding the breaking down of
German support is for the purpose of
discouraging extra effort on the part
of the people of the United States.
The sacrifices which the people are
making now are small compared TO
those they made in the days of the

Washington.-An idea was advanced
by government official recently in
regard to the coming Liberty loan
which ought to be considered carefully
by people in the rural districts, partlc-
IIlarly those who live on farms. Judge
Wade of Iowa was responsible for put
ting the idea into the heads OF gov
eminent officials His argument to
the farmers in regard to the Liberty
leans is this: Let every farming COM
munity, say an agricultural county,
figure up just what its taxable valua-
ton is in the matter of wheat, oats,
corn, barley, rye, cattle, hogs, horses
sheep and poultry. Let every indiyid-
ual farmer take stock of what his tax
returns are for these various articles
which are produced on the farm ana
of which the surplus is sent to mar
ket Then let him consider what was
the cash value of his stock and prod
uce before the war. and also figure
what that stock value is now. Let him
consider just what he is making OUT
of the war, and then if he doesn't have
an idea that he'd better put some OF
the rofits into Liberty loans he is
lacking in that patriotism which is
supposed to exist throughout the ag-
ricultural communities of the United
States. 1t has often been claimed
that, whatever else may happen, the
honor of the United States will always
be sustained by the patriotism of the
agricultural classes. In this coming
Liberty loan campaign there is an OPP
portunity for the farmers to show
their patriotism by subscribing to the
full extent of their means.
