Third Campaign to Open on Ami
versary of This Country's
Entry Into War.
AMOUNT NOT YET FIXED
Campaign for Flotation to Last Three
or Four Weeks-Details Of
Third Loan not Vet
Vet Arranged.

Washington, March 4.-The third
Liberty loan will open April 6, the
first anniversary of the United States
entry into the war There will be a
campaign of three or four weeks.
In announcing the date Secretary
McAdoo said the amount of the loan,,
the interest rate, and other features
such as convertibility of bonds OF
previous issues, maturity and terms Of
payment, are yet to be determined,
and that new regulations will be nec-
essary before the plans can be COM
pleted.
The fact that the amount of the
loan is dependent on further legisla-
tion indicates that 1t will be for more
than $3,600,000,000, the remainder Of
authorized but unissued bonds and the
! fact that certificates OF Indebtedness
now being sold in anticipation of the
| loan bear Az per cent affords some
indication OF the interest rate.
McAdoo Issues Statement.
In making the announcement, Sec
retary McAdoo said:
Il expect to ask the Congress at
an early date to grant the necessary
additional authority. OF course, the
opening date of the campaign is some
what dependent upon the new legisla-
ton, but 1t is hoped and believed that
the matter can be considered and de-
i termined in ample time to begin the
campaign on the date suggested.
April will forever be a conse.

it seems peculiarly appropriate that

our participation in this war for the
honor and rights of America and the

Should Begin With Demonstration.
"The campaign should begin with
great demonstrations of patriotism In
every city, town and hamlet in the
country that will truly express the
spirit of aroused America. On this
date every American should pledge
anew to his government the full meas
ure of his resources and resolve II
make every required sacrifice In tht
same fervent spirit that impels ou
gallant sons in the trenches in Franc,
and on the waters of the Atlantic I,
shed their blood in Americas sacred
cause.
"The campaign in all probabilit!
will last three or four weeks, and an
nouncement of the opening date Il
made at this time in accordance witt
my promise to make public all mat

as determined and in order tnat ampl

"A driving wet snow was falling
when the Germans opened fire on
the American salient with every
weapon at their command. Seventy
sevens, heavy shells and gas shells
fell in a perfect whirlwind on the
American trenches for half an hour.
At the same time other enemy shells
in great numbers were dropping on
the American battery positions.
Much Poisonous Gas.
The Germans, evidently thinking
that the Americans in this section,
having had one taste of gas a few
days ago, would fear 1t now, let loose
great quantities of poisonous gas,
but the men put on their masks and
cnly Il few were affected by it, So
intense was the fire that the woods
back of the salient were shot 10
pieces.
At 6 o'clock the barrage fire lifted
on the trenches to the right of the
salient and Germans numbering 240
came sweeping forward under the pro-
lection of their fire. They came for
ward apparently intending to make a
big haul, and jumped into wat was

Stress is laid on the fact that the

fected the art, quite as well as our enemies on the Rhine ever did it. The looms of the world are turning out as beautiful things as ever before and the colors are praised by even the most fastidious.
 The Younger Generation
 A small coat of rose eeranium jer' sey, with gray jersey collar and cuffs and little straps with steel buckles is quite cunning for a little miss. A dress that takes her mothers for a copy is scant, slim and straight, of dark blue crepe de chine, embroider- ed in brick red wool A school girl dress of tan linen made with a coatee effect and worn with a wide patent leather belt is very serviceable. Rose and white checked gingham combined with solid rose gingham makes a childish figure look very sweet. White calico stitched in old blue makes a dress that is pleasure to wear and makes some little heart beat with envy. Guimpe dresses of chambray and white organdie collar and cuffs are used for summer vacations so well does chambray wear And it is neces sary that a good durable goods be used as the wear and tear of play days demands it. Organdie dresses and dainty poke bonnets look like fairy land so ethereal and transparent do little girls look in them.
 OverbIouses
 It used to be in the dim, distant past that women changed their cos ,I. of But war now finds them in the same frock the whole day through, and it has been truthfully said that if large amount of money isn't spent on cloth ing a lot of time must be. So be it.. Sometime one may use subterfuge though as with a tailored frock, a woman may throw gracefully around her shoulders a scarf of black satin and ermine and be transformed into a dressed up person. Or she slips "a bit of satin and silver fringe over her charming head, knots her sash softly and looks like an angel. A green silk cape collar embroidered in black gives color to the theory that blouse may be converted into a corsage with little thought and originality. To the woman tired from the strenuous day at the Red Cross rooms, these are very handy and can be done while ones guests are waiting. There is something in the psychology dress, of ten with a change of costume, the weariness is lessened and the tea hour is thoroughly enjoyed Then a little tea cap can be worn hiding the fact that a great deal of time hasn't been spent on the coiffure. Tea caps and warehouses seem to have gained a great popularity. She pulls Chinese jaclet over her head of white crepe de chine with a stenciled design in midnight blue all over it. and looks as thoueh she had made a careful toi- let.

Beauty Secrets
(By Lee NJ. Brown) . THE NAILS

The difference between nails that are we'll kept and nails that are not is most startling. Especially in the care of the cuticle. A professional manicurist either clips or cuts the cuticle away from the nail and leaves a smooth even edge imbedded in soft flesh While the amateur pulls or tears the delicate flesh, leaving an ugly jagged appearance which is also very painful in time. It is said that a lady may be distinguished at once by her hands, and well kept nails help a great deal to make hand pretty. Even though the fingers do not taper 10 the desired point. if the nails are polished and pink much is forgotten.
 After washing the hands push the cuticle back. The half moon should show on each finger. Powdered pum- ice may be used to soften the dead
 skin so that it may be more easily shipped off. Peroxide will take the
 stains from beneath the finger nails. A careful going over of the nails each
 day makes a world of difference. File

N Interest to Women

One touch of Spring makes all the world akin. Spring sees the birth and death of many fads, and fancies in clothing And she who wears wool is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing, |" Vanity Fair says. The magazines, leading dressmakers and modistes of the day, and manufacturers hay formed an organization to eliminate the whims of women from fashion and insist upon them being sens1Dle. It might be called a patriotic compact Wearing apparel must adhere to the rules of conservation, common sense inspired by loyalty, in the matters or fabric The rare quality of originali- ty may always be used, and the scope in the details of frock is broad. h. dividuality may be expressed, but on- ly in a sensible way-it seems rather passe to use that word in this modern century, alas we must make sacrifices not by doing our bit, but by doing our utmost.
 Women have been requested, even commanded to wear silks. IL used to be that lovely woman was clothed and whatever happened to be left was giv-
 
 warrior. first consideration must be given to him that he may be kept warm and dry. Woman takes what ever may be left. So goes the eternal law of compensation. Woman must take a back seat in the using of ma terials, while man takes the things that protect him from the elements.
 But various and lovely are the sub stitutes, voiles of every color in the rainbow, chiffons that almost take ones breath away with their last but not least calico. Only the most ex- elusive stores carry this unique fab r;c, not in the old drab, dull shades, but in pretty, quaint prints with white background
 Dyeing in America was for some time a question, as no two shades were the same But perseverance, wins in the end, so now we have per
