ALL WEST SHORE
"OVER THE TOP"
Liberty Loan Subscriptions in
Boroughs Far in Excess of
Allotted Amounts

Having gone "over the top in the
Third Liberty Loan campaign just
closed, every West Shore town is
awaiting the arrival of an Honor
Flag to be awarded by the Cumber-
land county committee. During the
other campaigns these towns did not
make such a good showing, but even
with larger allotments the districts
subscribed more than asked for.
New Cumberland, with subscrip-
tions amounting to between s55, 900
and $4,000, leads all other towns in
the total amount subscribed. L. E.
Cooper had charge of the work at
New Cumberland and was assisted by
score of committeeman.
Lemoyne. with a quota of $25, 900,
went "over the top" by $4,000. it
was announced by L. NJ Bricker,
chairman of the committee. This lit
tie borough in the second campaign
fell down somewhat. but under the
leadership of Mr.. Bricker the men
worked hard and We're successful in
placing the town on the honor list.
Plans for unfurling the Honor Flag
are being made by Chairman Brick
er. 1t is likely that the services will
be held on Sunday.
With $4,000 more than her quota,
Camp Hill has set a new record for
West Shore towns. This borough's 8
allotment was $4,000. and commit
teemen were not satisfied to reach
the goal. but made efforts to estab-
1ish a new record. George d. Cook
was chairman of the committee in
Camp Hill and was assisted by a
squad of prominent and patriotic
citizens. Plans are being made for
unfurling the Honor Flag in this
town.
West Fairview passed it's sec, 900
early in the campaign and many sub
scriptions have been made since.
Chairman Thompson Martin an
nounces. This little borough tried
hard in the last campaign to make
a good showing, but was unable to
reach the goal.
]. Fred Hummel, Burgess of
Wormleysburg, had charge of the
campaign in that little borough and
announces that the town is safely
"over the top"

KEEPING HANDS MILKY WHITE
oId-Fashioned TaIIow Recommended;
Feeds Tissues and Gives Hands
Pleasing Plumpness.

IF rubber gloves or loose kid gloves
are Systematically worn during work
hours there is no reason why the hands
should become red and rough, but if
they have a tendency that way cold
cream should be rubbed in each night
and soft chamois gloves donned. Per-
h4ps the treatment may be necessary
only every other night or only once a
week. Some hands redden and rough
en- more easily than others, just as
some skins freck1e or burn more cas-
fly than others.
There is nothing like oid-fashioned
taliow to make the hands milky white,
according to an authority, and the
tallow will also feed the tissues and
give hard worked hands a pleasing
plumpness, for, be it known, only the
useless hand is softly rounded and
plump like a chi1d's. Hands that do
work may be white and perfectly kept.
The nails and finger tips must be care
fully attended to, for housework first
betrays itself here. A visit to a re-
liable manicure once week will help
great deal, and the trifling price
should be included among household
expenses.

VOGUE IN AMERICA
New York Could Not Rule Styles,
Fashion Writer Asserts.
JeaIousies, Climatic Variation, Differ
ence in Mode of Living, and
Many Other Reasons.

The theater guides fashion in
France, to be sure, but there is little
prospect of it's playing such a COM
manding role in this country, even if
America should declare sartorial in
dependence of France, as a result of
the war, observes a New York fashion
correspondent. France, though she oc-
cupieS such large place in our hearts,
is small country, as we Americans
understand size. 1t has been a COM
paratively easy matter for Paris to set
the standard for the entire population
interested in the mode. For New York
to attempt to do the same thing, in
the same degree, would be to foredoOm
the effort to failure. New York might
influence fashions, proba6ly would
play greater part in their determina-
ton and selection than any other place
In the western hemisphere; but that
New York should control the dress of
the country, down to the last detail of
the length of the sleeve, the placing of
q ribbon, as Paris does would be an
impossibility. America is too big. By
the time New York had succeeded in
distributing its models to the last de-
manding woman, something else would
be in vogue. And then there is the
natural jealousy in one section of the
vast continent of another section; the
tremendous climatic variation; the off
ference in the mode of living; and q
thousand other less striking reasons
The style influence launched in New
York would spread and widen itself
out of existence, as the rings made by
pebble dropped in pond lose them
selves as they spread from the point
of contact.
If the theater guided fashion in oul
country as it does in Paris, we might
see an untimely revival of Watteau
fashions, judging by the reception ac
corded to the Louis XIV gowns worr
by Billie Burke in Henry Miller's re
vival Of 'The Marriage of Convent
ence." The town has gone mad ovel
her hoop-skirts, and her powdered
tresses. Every woman who sees then
! longs to try them on.

TO MAKE RIBBON SWEATERS
From Nine Hundred to One Thousand
Yards of Material Required for
Sleeveless Garment.

1t would seem as though there was
any amount Of knitting being done for
personal adornment besides that which
the women are doing for the soldiers.
1t Is hard to understand, writes a
fashion correspondent, judging from
the amount of work that the women
are turning out for patriotic purposes,
where they find the time to work for
themselves, but there are, neverthe-
less, all kinds Of new designs and
stitches being talked about that have
no place In the knitting outfits of the
soldiers kits.
You have doubtless seen or heard of
the sweaters made of narrow ribbon
and If, perchance, you have not seen
them you may be interested in know
ing that while the ribbon is narrow
and Of the width usually referred to
as baby ribbon the texture of the rib
bon does not in the least resemble
the satin baby ribbon, but is of
loose weave and crinkled in appear
ance.
I have been told by those who make
these sweaters that it requires from
900 to 1000 yards to make one of
the sleeveless ribbon sweaters; thus
one must draw the conclusion that
these are not inexpensive affairs. Any

choose the one with the tree. So it
would appear that trees do have an
enhancing effect on real estate in resi-
dence districts.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
need Of removing trees is fully as
necessary at times as putting them in.
Trees too near house and in too
great numbers will often obscure the
house, render it dark inside and give
it an unkempt appearance. Then
thinning becomes necessary, and ex-
perts say that it should be done with
great care, for here trees may work
