THE ADVENT OF THE
WRAPPED-ON DRESS

New York, Feb. 20.--There is some
thing wonderful in the way America
is coming TO the front in every way.
Undaunted by circumstances, she
accepts the conditions made neces-
sary by war, and makes the best of
them Anything that spells economy,
that means a saving to help our gov
eminent win the war, is considered
eagerly by the patriotic women Of
the United States
"They say abroad that we always
go into things so hard, putting our
whole souls into the things of the
moment, and it is true. The fash
ions of the present day prove this
fact. Conservative dresses. frocks
that require the minimum of wool,
are the order of the day. And yet
they are not frumpish, for they are
in good taste, simple and becoming
The new materials lend themse elves
nicely to the limited yardage. The
cotton serges and gabardines are
very good looking. and of course, the
silks are wonderful There is new
silk, patterned after the Bingham
which enjoyed so much popularity
last year, and which promises to
hold its own this year, too. The

ORIGIN OF JUNGLE SAM"
AND JOHN BULL

facetious remark by an idle work
man is said to have originated the
name Dy which our government is
known throughout the world, Uncle
SAM During the war of 1872 Sam
uel Wilietts, a meat inspector of
Trey, N. Y, and generally called
Uncle Sam" acted as purchasing
agent fol- the government. On each
barrel Of pork and beef accepted he
marked the letters "U. S. for United
States. Someone inquired what they
stood for and one of Willet's work
men replied Uncle Sam" From
this feeble beginning the joke spread
over the whole country and before
the end of the war Uncle Sam"
was in common use.
The origin of "John Bull'' has been
subject of dispute, but the evidence
seems to show that the nickname
first became popular in 1913, follow
ing the publication of DIR. Arbuthnot's
satirical novel, John Bull" Other
investigators assert that Dean Swift
was the first to use the name, but as

birth of John Bull" The great dean
had satirized number OF influential
men and women, and for his sins
he was that year exiled to the dean
cry of ST. Patrick's in Dublin. Re-
sentiment at the Vaccinations of his
enemies is said to have led Dean
Swift to apply. the satirical John
Bull' to the whole English people.
There have been number. of men
named John Bull who have attained
eminence in England. perhaps the
greatest being the distinguished mu-
stefan of that name. He was born
in 1863 and died in 1922. Having
once played before King James a
song which he called God Save the
King the present national anthem
of England has been enormously at
tributed to John Bull.

Death Not In Vain.
II was glorious death but sad
one because a few minutes after the
shell landed, the Boche had been
obliged to retire. Another half an
hour, and the heroic pair would have
been safe. But they had not died in
vain. The company that they had
held at bay carried back to the Ger
man lines a story of American hero
ism that will do much to convince the
Boche that the men from across the
sea are going to decide the war. The
sacrifice of these two lives will save
others.
They called on the Y. NJ. GA. man
to help bury these two heroes. 1t was
not his first experience as member

Paris.-When Yankee troops pushed
into Roncheres, Boche snipers got busy
from windows and other vantage
points. The Yanks proceeded to get
busy with the snipers. Two men VINO
did most effective work In cleaning out
the Boche snipers were two Pennsyi-

time they glimpsed the smallest por'
tion of Hun they fired, and they sell
dom missed. 1t is estimated that
these two men accounted for at least
forty Germans.
Just about noon they located three
snipers In the belfry OF church Just
under the cross.
From this vantage the Boches were
picking of American soldiers
Meeks and Titterlngton got on the
lob Immediately by climbing to the
roof of nearby dwelling. Meeks
saw the head of Hun for just sec
ond over the edge of the belfry. The
bullet found Its mark. leaving only
