ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
 REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea of the quantity of food sent to European allies by the United States from July 1, 1914, to January l. 1918, is given by figures just announced by the U. S. Food Ad- ministration. In that period the Unit ed States has furnished complete year. ly rations for 57,100,933 people. In addition there was enough extra pro tein to supply this portion of the diet for 22,l94570 additional men.
 The total export of wheat and wheat flour to the three principal allies IS equivalent to about 3S4000,00O hushels Pork exports for the 3M years amount ed to almost 2,0000O0,0O0 pounds. Ex- ports of fresh beef totaled 443, ,4S4 400 pounds. The amount of food exported to Russia is negligible compared with that sent to the western allies.

THERE WAS NO FIRE
 WAS JUST TESTING
 A FIRE ALARM WIRE.

This morning about 7 o'clock when the whistle at the electric light plant let. out its weird blasts there was a wild rush for connection with the tel ephone exchange, anxious voices in- quiring for information concerning the location of the burning building, etc. Relief came when it was an- nounced there was no fire.
 You sec a wire at the fire depart rlent connects the electric light plant, so that when an alarm is turned in at the station a switch is thrown which notifies the plant of the fire. An electrician at the station was testing the wire this morning, hence the erroneous blowing of the whistle.
 There was no fire.

have their growing strength constantly
REINFORCED by wonderful new develop

they like so long as they know how to

things that are ingenious and full OF
style. ~ ~ -.
Stripes and checks, in strong con-
trasts of color, made up In combina-
ton with plain color, have occupied ovr
field of vision this year, almost to the
exclusion of the odd, brilliantly colOred
figures that were strewn over the sur
face of sport clothes last year. These
checks and broad stripes are most
cleverly managed, and now. we have
hats and turbans made to match coats
and skirts. One wonders where these
new by-paths will lead, at any rate,
they run in the direction Of the smart
est informal clothes that we have ever
known.

clothes every possible chance of sue
