HalIanan Says Its Alcohol Worth

The question has arisen in West
Virginia again whether the large
quantities Of liquors destroyed by
prohibition authorities should be
turned over to the government so
that the alcohol could be distilled and
used for war purposes from the var
ious liquors.
Replying to the question, State
Prohibition Commissioner Walter S.
Hallanan made public portion of
correspondence between the state
and national councils of defense rela.
tive to the subject A reply received
some time ago from the national
council reads:
THE amount of alcohol that might
be saved is so insignificant as to be
negligible. Moreover, it would cost
approximately twice as much to dis
till the alcohol from the liquor than

SELECT MORAL FOR YOURSELF
One Might Be Printed With This Story, but Is Omitted for an
 Excellent Reason.

This row started with a new straw hat and ended up with two claims for Insurance. The hat belonged to the Beau Brum1nel of East Cleveland, Vic tor Giesy, who also owns new auto mobile.
 Vic was driving his friend McPhee out Euclid avenue the other day when one of those sudden summer thunder storms came up and caught them without curtains. Not being able to put them on, or to follow their natural idea to duck into a friendly cafe, they sat tight and drove on. The rain poured in from both sides.
 Victor tried to save his new hat by laying 1t on the seat between him and Mack. Mack picked it up and held 1t outside under a miniature water fall to test It's liquid capacity-which was about one quart when Vic saw it. The latter lunged for the hat the car lunged for the curb.
 Damages-one broken fender on a Henry in the way, and one ditto on the Dodge on the way.
 We intended to print moral to this story, but Giesy says that all morals are distastefuI to him. He hesitates to put in g claim for damages to his car, because his accident policy Is in the same company which has just paid him damages for two busted ribs sustained in a boxing match with one W. P. Hurst. That's another story.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

HARMONY.

This business of dressing all in one of two colors at the most is an idea that the well-dressed French woman is very clever about but which repre- sents almost too much time for the average American to devote to such 8 purpose.
 Even when the costume was allow ed more latitude in this matter the French woman had a knack of select ing her clothes so that they obviously were meant to be worn together in spite of their dissimllarity.
 Just at present the scarf and tur- ban seem to be demanding especial attention and an attractive way of making them conform to convention is to have the hat, the scarf and pos sibly the bag all of one material. If the shoes math either the coat or the color of the scarf, then all Is well.
 One young woman seen recently carried out the idea of matching the costume to the last non essential de- tail-whether by accident or by dc- sign one can only guess. Her suit, turban and scarf were all of duve- tyn, which was of a pinkish tan color, called tea shade. Her shoes and gloves matched also, and under one arm she carried an important look ing portfolio of exactly the same col or. So unusual was the result of this odd costume that she attracted con- siderable attention as she strolled along, apparently unconscious that any one was looking at her.
 In this case the scarf and the tur- ban were of the same material, and the fact that it was humble duvetyn detracted nothing from it's smartness The main thing seems, indeed, to be the similarity and not the material Fur, bands of fur, braiding, embroid- cry, angora and quilting are all in use to bring the point of similarity out For dress affairs and incidentally for the fortunate possessors of the where W1thal there are the most attractive sets of squirrel and various other i furs consisting of huff, scarf and tur. 1 ban, and sometimes a bag.

Goats for War Food,

The Hawaiian island of Kahoolawe is to be devoted to lowering the cost of living if production of 10000 goats for marketing will do it.
 The Hawaiian board of agriculture and forestry authorized Chairman Ar thur H. Rice to confer with the gov ernor and land commissioner on a plan to withdraw the island from the forest reserve and offer it for lease. This has been done, and Chairman Rice has placed in the hands of Deputy Attor- ney General Smith the duty of draw ing up the necessary papers.
 Kahooluwe now produces goats and sand. It Is believed that thousands of goats of marketable quality can be ex. ported from the island, and a chance is to be given for some enterprising rancher to become the great goat king of the territory.

THE CHRISTMAS RUSH.

The rush of Christmas present buy ing will now be on in earnest. Un- less people show some reason and forethought, there will be the same old jam at Christmas time. While the coming of peace will relieve conditions somewhat, yet help will still be short in stores, on the railroads, and in ex- press offices and post offices, etc. AS usual g. great many thoughtless peo- pie will delay buying what they need until the last week.
 AS 8 result a large army of people will be greatly overworked. They are asked to handle about five times as much material as usual. To a great many people habitually crowded by working conditions, this holiday sea- son is the last straw that brings on a breakdown.
 l It must be exceedingly trying to the owners and employees of retail stores to have the public act in so irrational a manner. Our merchants and clerks could perform much better service if people would distribute their pur- chases over a wider period.
 The merchants want the buyer to have time and attention so as to talk . over purchases with the sales person. and be sure that the goods are adapt ed to the needs of the one who is buy ing them, or the one to whom they are to be given. That cannot possibly ! be done if everyone rushes into the stores the last week before the holi- day. Under those conditions goods have to be sold on take it or leave it. tasis, with results satisfactory neither to the customer nor the seller.
 So let us this year be more consfd- crate of the employees of public ser vice corporations that handle our ma terial, and the people who conduct our stores. Early Christmas buying means
 better service. It will make Christ mas a pleasant season to many people who formerly dreaded it for the whole year

Small Satin Hats
With Embroidered Wells

At the present moment small satin hats,
often of turban shape. promise we'll for the first
warmer days or for the bright sunshine which
often accompanies the last days Of winter and
makes us ong for something new.
These are apt TO be hung with embroidered
wells in a fashion which American women have
always liked. The veil hats which appeared
few seasons ago were charming until their
adoption by the great majority seemed to turp
our streets into procession CT Oriental
widows.
The present veil is discreeter thing It is
also more expensive, and both qualities may III
sure it a longer life among the discriminating.
Nothing very startling-a narrow silhouette,
far better managed than its predecessor;
charming details, clever cutting with a great
discretion in decoration and accessories-these
seem to be the leading features Of Americas
