Black frocks embroidered in gray
yarns and black embroidered in sill
yer are among the foremost successes
in the seasons showings of new ideas.
It IL a sedate combination even when
the embroidery is elaborate and in a
hold pattern, and 1t proves to be as
effective when very dark blue-called
night blue--is used instead Of black.
The lovely gown shown in the picture
above employs this deep blue in dress
that Is rich enough for the opera and
quiet enough for anything else. Cos
tuners are giving much attention to
gowns Of this type, for their task is to
achieve designs that couple distinc-
ton with quiet colors.
In the gown pictured there is an
underbodice and skirt Of night blue
satin with a bodice of georgette
draped to simulate belted coat and
waistcoat, over it. There is a soft
girdle of the georgette and, at the
left side, an unexpected and pretty
touch in two long ends each Of narrow

ley Used Novel Method to Adver-
tise Their Product.

70 advertise their agricultural prod
ucts the folks of the Sunnyside recla-
nation project, In the state of Wash
ington, built last summer a brand-new
kind of structure. They called it a
hay palace.
1t was built wholly of baled hay
alfalfa hay of the best quality, 5000
tons of it, contributed by the farmers
of Yakima valley. Some house! Well,
yes. It was $50 feet long, 100 feet
wide aud % feet high, with an exteri-
or effect somewhat resembling that
of q medieval fortress.
Inside of it were exhibits of every
imaginable kind relating to the field
and garden products Of the valley.
Also an auditorium, with stage for
speakers, music and vaudeville acts.
The palace was Illuminated by cleo
tricity and cooled by electric fans.
But, although the Yakima valley
produces wonderful fruits and vege-
tables, its big money-getting crop is
alfalfa. The celebration at the hay
palace (Which was, incidentally, a sort
of carnivaD was planned mainly for
the purpose of bringing together the
grower and consumer of alfalfa hay,
with elimination Of the much-Objur-
gated middleman.
On the last day Of the fair the hay
from which the palace was construct
ed was sold at auction to the highest
bidders and the proceeds were distrib-
uted pro rata among the farmers who
had contributed the material.

his contention the fireman unhitched

Capes are very desirable and very

Mount Rubber is heap Of rubber rub
bish on East Broadway, near Main
street, which, when it assumes the de-
sired proportions, will be sold to old
rubber collectors and the proceeds
turned over to the Red Cross. The
nation needs the rubber, the Red

needs its radiance. Anything like an
old auto tire, bicycle tire, rubber boots,

NanoIeon,s Descendant.

A great-grandson Of Napoleon Bona

far from Reims, where he was at the
head of machine-gun section. His
name was Daniel Napoleon Mesnard,
and he was the son Of a lady whose
maiden name was Leon, and who was
the daughter of Count Leon, a natural
son of the emperor. The dead soldier
bore himself bravely In defense OF
Reims, and was mentioned In dis

In commenting on this amendment
Superintendent Williams gays: "The

ment, if adopted, will be to place in

lily to enact laws controlling the de-.
post of public moneys in banks and

law as expressed in the constitution
will remain in full force and effect"

Ter inability of the LEGISLATURE to
recoSnize the difference betwnen a
active and therefore temporary de-
post makes it impossible for many
millions of dollars in this state to ..e
deposited in banks within the law.
The result Of this inability TO make
legal deposits of public moneys, under
certain circumst ances, is that very
large sums of money are actually de-
posted in banks without any warrant
of law and without any legal protec-
ton and without earning any interest
for the benefit of the public"
Friend w. Richardson, the state
treasurer, in indorsing the amendment
says:

heavy and mobile artillery plants, twen-
ty-hve millions for gun carriage plants,
another hundred millions for smokeless
powder plants. The government has ad-
vanced almost eixty-five million dollars
to help build sixteen ordnance plants.
The cost Of guns themselves is enor-
nous, due to the many stages of labor in
volved and the precision necessary to
their manufacture. The famous .75-
millmetre, the gun which, backed by
French courage, has done great deal
toward keeping the Boche at bay, costs
$1,000 to manufacture in the United
States. The 155-milimetre doubles that,
and when the government reaches the
great 16-inch cannon, one of the most
powerful Of our guns, it pays S175,OOO
for it, without any mounting. And the
mounting itself is by no means a small
item. Every battery has double equip
ment, in case the first is destroyed Gun
limbers cost $1,000, horses 5000 each,
harness sets $645, and if a tractor is
used the cost is pushed up $4,000.
The appropriations in Congress this
year for artillery ammunition reach the
enormous total Of two billions. six hun
dred and fifty millions. To understand
this, it is necessary only to know that,
according to official figures Of the British
government, our ally spent over sixty
three million dollars for the ammunition
that was shot off in a seven-day bonn
bardment in the attack on the Messines-
Wytschaete Ridge III June, 1917. Rifle
cartridges at almost five cents apiece put
it in the reach Of even the most casual
to get rid of $40 worth of ammunition

'TNhe War Costs Us Two

The reports from both Allied and enemy
sources indicate that tanks are already
in extensive use. A light tank costs the
United States more than a high-priced

$4,000. Airplanes cost from $1,000

what satisfaction they can get out of the
information that sixty million dollars

When the accountant passes from rifle
to cannon he ceases to count ammuni-
tion costs in cents and passes to dollars.
The shell for the 37-n1illimetre gun costs
81. At the other end is the 16-inch gun,
with shell that costs $1,000. A part
of this. amount, 1886 of it, is for smoke
less powder to send the exploding pro-
jectile on its way to the enemy. Then
there are aerial torpedoes at 5000 apiece
and bombs at $45.
Big guns in modern warfare are a
logical development from the lesser guns
of former wars. But the airplane and
the tank-especially the tank-are new

0ur Appropriation Equals the
~ Entire Austrian Debt

But when you've finished with the indi-
vidual soldier and the means that con-
tribute to his living, the rest of the
money spent on putting armies at work
is spent largely on means toward killing
the enemy. AS evidence toward this,
there is the fact that the United States
government appropriated for the present
war up to August Is, for ordnance, ord
nance supplies and equipment, an amount
that lacked only forty-nine millions of
reaching the enormous total of thirteen
billion dollars. In other terms, the
American appropriation equals the entire
Austrian public debt, at least in money
figures. A part of this money has gone
into preparation to build Instruments of

1NHE Hrrr1y and the rrawy are the
wu'kirg ends of great machine.
- They have motion and power of
aggression because a dynamo of national
Dimensions works ceaselessly several
thousand miles away to create power for
them. Power is food and clothing, the
assurance of a smooth organization, but
iinally it is morale-the combination of
everything good that guarantees backing
TO an army. The Liberty Loan is the ma
;ional register of the dynamo's power.
When the loan climbs dizzily, overtop-
ping the mark set at Washington, it
means that the power Of the people be-
hind their army is more than enough;
that regardless OF the circumstances of
lighting there is still more courage, more
faith. more willingness left at home to
give wealth and spiritual devotion.
The people OF Great Britain, half as
many of them as the people of the United
States, have already loaned their gov
ernment fourteen billion dollars, which
is still some four billion better than we
have done. France has raised seven
billions from war bonds, and Russia did
almost as we'll before the established gov
ernment fell. Figures on the German
debt arc misleading, because of the tricky
system Of finance developed to hide ma
tonal bankruptcy; but at least it is
known that the German public debt al
most equals that of Great Britain. The
German figure is twenty-seven billions,
which is seventeen billions larger than
our own. France marvellously has a
debt that is six billions below that of
Germany. Austria's public debt is almost
thirteen billions. It is interesting to note
that twenty-six of the twenty-seven bill
