Red Cross DriUe

 At the close of the business meet ings, matters have reached a point where every thing is in readiness to start the work in earnest bright and early Tuesday morning. This prog ress could not have been made so rap idly and effectively without the ex- cellent team work and cooperation of the willing workers of the Warren District.
 All of the women have offered their services and their growing efficiency is to be congratulated. They have pledged themselves to canvass every home in the district So there is ab- solutely no use to try and evade them as they are exceedingly persistent Domestics will go undOne if necessary and with clear eyes shining and hope and optimism in their hearts to raise $25 900. these loyal women will begin relentless drive for the great. the wonderful, the charitable Red Cross.
 Our president has requested that the money be raised for the men in Europe Our men who have gone al- ready to suffer and endure that we may have freedom. The trenches are far from being pleasant habitations but from not one lip comes a com plaint So to equal this undaunted courage we must give to the limit
 Countless things will be bought with this fund A few of them are beds. sheets, surgical dressings and instruments of all kinds. wearing ap- parel and hospital equipment. A well man can stand much, but an injured soldier must have attention and at least the comforts of hospital that stands for sanitation. This Angel Of Mercy, the Red Cross, must succor and cheer and care. But to do that

 The normal waistline is the favored one, although a few liberties may be taken, and shift it ever so slightly be- low or above the normal point. One adopts the style that is most becom- ing to the figure and taste.
 The June Bride
 What a wonderful lot of witchery one may take on this eventful day. There is nothing under the blue sky SO charming as the bride that the June sun shines upon. A world of suggestions may be given to the blush ing bride and her attendants. Veils may be worn and odd and attractive arrangements have been designed. One is to arrange the flowing white veil as though it came from old Per sia. Across the lower part of the face allowing the eyes to peep forth.

The summer it appears, is to be season of exquisitely girlish fashions simple lines. delicate colors, float ing ribbons, tucks, and flounces. And absolutely suited to these dress af- fairs are such fabrics as fine net, or gandie and crepe de chine.
 The dresses are the simplest things imaginable. They go back more than a decade ago for widely sprayed tucks the succession of tiny flounces and the dainty adging of narrow Valen- cienes lace. The old fashioned note is accentuated by the wide ribbon sashes loosely knotted a little to one side of the front Sometimes two rib bons of contrasting shades are used, then they must be very narrow, some thing less than an inch.
 The sash of organdie is more fash ionable than that of satin, ribbon or otherwise. It is rather difficult to manage because of its tendency to crush: it must be constantly refresh ed. Nevertheless it holds sway among fashions. And those of net or soft crepe as alternatives.
 Of course the skirts of summer frocks are much wider than the skirts of the tailored frock or afternoon dress of satin or serge. There are ex- amples of French models that meas ure fully five yards around the bottom Another interesting detail is the doub- ling of the skirt material until it reaches the hip line. thereby giving a substantial backing to the sheer fabric as we'll as intensifying the tone by way of decoration.
 The bodices stick pretty closely to the fishu effects. Sleeves are short the few exceptions to the contrary merely serving to prove the rule of

Y. ". c. 4. Notes

About eighty women attended the membership tea in the Blue Room on Wednesday afternoon. Miss White, who is director of Red Cross nursing service, sent from Pacific headquar- ters, gave a very interesting and in- structive talk along the lines of Red Cross work and what the women can do at home to help tighten the bur dens of those in the service.
 About twenty mothers, wives and sisters of men in the service were welcomed and presented with their al loted number of stars. During the afternoon each lady wearing the stars told of the whereabouts of their loved ones, while others read some very in- teresting letters or quoted some mes sages from lover there" A piano solo, medley of patriotic airs, by Mrs. ]. B. Morley, was greatly enjoyed as we'll as the vocal solo by Miss Mo Conoughy.

 Misses Bathing Suits
 Gone to the seashorel When one hears it thoughts of just what kind of a bathing suit did she have are thrust upon us. A wide variety may be chosen from. In every hue and shade of the rainbow. One of satin for a maid of 16 years made with long waist, to which is attached the cren. elated top skirt; bretelles of shaped satin pieces with chevrons of white silk braid; braid girdle and bloomers of the satin.
 Bathing suit of two tone satin made with panel front with a gathered skirt, topped by a triple belt, linen, in contrasting color which also is used to make the collars and cuffs. This attractive costume will defy even the most glaring sunlight on the beaches, with its beauty. There is a certain style about a bathing suit the same as any other article of wearing apparel.

Demolition of Concrete Building s
Big job

To make room for new railway sta
ton a comparatively new concrete build
ing at Chicago was wrecked recently.
The demolition of such buildings is not
frequent, and the methods employed are
therefore interesting
A l,s0o-pound pear-shaped castiron ball
was used in smashing through the floors
1t was carried by single fall line on the
forty-foot boom of a stiff leg derrick, which
gave it a sheer drop of 80 feet. The
floors, designed to carry a load of about
25o pounds to the square foot, failed to
sag more than an inch when subjected
to a pressure of go pounds to the square
foot. Persistent onslaughts had to be
made with falling weights, oxyacetylene
torches. sledges, fire, water, and dynamite.
Wood fires were built around the bases
OF the interior columns and kept burning
for several hours, so that when subjected
to streams of cold water the concrete
would crack. After the rods were cut
with torches, the columns were pulled
over, the beams Of course, falling at the
same time Popular Mechanics Magazine

New Stamps by Uncle Sam.

by the government for use by persons
dealing in stocks at stock exchanges,
boards Of trade produce exchanges and
similar places where their documents are
taxed to provide funds with which to
finance the war with Germany. All stock
transfers and future delivery contracts
are subject to taxation under the war
legislation enacted by congress last De
tober, and the new stamps viii be in col
ors that are distinctive from those of the
current revenue labels.
When the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing in Washington was nearly ready
to print the new stamps, it found that
the Government supply Of colored inks
had run short. As the bureau was busy
putting forth Liberty Loan, Boy Scout

On Sunday night q report received |
from London, and given out at Ottawa
by the director of public publicat ions
for Canada through the Canadian Press,
Ltd, stated that the entente allies were
so confident of their ability to with
stand any drive that might be launched
by the Germans, it had been decided
not to use the American army now in
France until it becomes a complete and
powerful force
Inns information was credited to q
summary of the operations on the west
ern front by the war committee of the
British cabinet.
The report excited much comment at
Washington, for it was understood that
the American forces had been placed at
| the disposal of Gen Foch, commander
in chief of the allied forces in France,
by Gen. Pershing, the American com
mander, and it was known that large
number of men are now holding posi-
tions in the Montdidier sector of the
Somme front. in addition to holding sew
eral sectors further south, notably on
the heights of the Meuse, near St Mi
| mel, northwest OF Toul and east of
! Luneyille
Secretary of War Baker issued a de
NAL of the report. and said that while
/ all the plans of the war department
look to the development Of the Ameri-
can army as distinct entity, various
elements of it now in France are being
used freely, in accordance with Gen.
Pershing' S action in placing all Amer1-
can forces under the supreme command

Lord Reading, the British high com
missioner and special ambassador at

can army would not be utilized until
It had developed its full strength was
