JURY GETS CASE
Testimony in Ruhlman-RObin-
son Trial Is Completed.
Judge Pollock UphOlds Cutting
of Red Tape.
MOTIVE To Be DETERMINED
Little Doubt That Ruhlman I'm
perSOnated Officer.
Exchange Stores Made Big
Profits During Xmas.

The Ruhiman-Robinson conspiracy
case on trial in the United States dis
trict court since Tuesday morning,
went to the jury at room today.
Capt. Charles w. Robinson is
charged with entering into a con-
spiracy to commit an offens against
the United States. A similar charge
faces Ruiz Ian In addition Ruhl-
man is charged with imperscnating a
government. officer for the purpose of
fraud.
In issuing his instructions to the
curry, Federal Judge John C. Pollock
| declared that the fact Robinson took
short cuts in establishing the exchange
stores in the "city built in night
should cut little figure in the jury's
deliberations. He also warned the
Jury to weigh testimony of army Of
| ficers who might be mixed in g petty
brOil over authority.
Jury ,Iust Decide Motive.
There is little doubt, the judge told
he jury, that Ruhlman did represent
himself as L government representa-
tive. AS to whether this representa-
| fraud remained for the jury to decide,
| the judge stated.
In the indictment Ruhlman was
charged with making this representa-
| ton to a candy manufacturer at St.
| Louis and to a stenographer at
Junction City, who did stenographic
work for him.
Testimony introduced was to the
effect that Robinson had asked Ruhl-
man to try and get some candy for
him during the heavy rush at Christ
| mas and Ruhlman to get quick action
did pose as a government buyer. IT
was shown Ruhlman did owe money
to the stenographer but that later this
bill was paid by the Tootle-Campbell
Dry Goods company at ST. Joseph, by
whom he was employed.

lA .0HNh .6z 1rre Rite house


American women are getting the tene-
fit of it thru the original models
shown in every large city in the coun-
try, and the hundreds of copies that
have been put into existence since the
middle of March.
Among the things that Jenny insti-
tuted was the Grecian bodice. You can
see it in the sketch given today which
was made from one of her most sue
cessful gowns.
The material used is champag ne-
colored satin, with a panel of fish net
hanging over the skirt, front and back.
The blouse is quite severe, seemingly
shapeless and held into some degree of
severity by two bands of the material
that cross the figure back and front.
The ends are invisibly tucked away.
The sleeves are short, mere caps over
the top of the arm and the American ms
are told that this kind of sleeve pre-
walls for afternoon gowns in all the
French clothes.
Will we wear it? That is what con-
fronts the American woman along
with the question of the corset-less
figure The answer that comes in
from the majority is that we will wear
it in the evening as a substitute for
the excessive nakedneSs that has pre-
vailed for three years but that we
cannot afford to wear it in the after
noon because of the scarcity and high
price of long kid gloves.

"COOTIE" SAVED HIM
Private Peat Tells How Scot Wanted
to Decorate Trench Vermin.

"A big Scotchman was standing up
in a trench looking over the top when
a 'cootie' bit him on the knee The
Scotchman promptly grabbed the spot
between his thumb and forefinger and
was about to crush the vermin when
a big shell whizzed over the place
where his head had been. The cootie
hunt saved the Scots life.
Aye said the Scot, to the cootie,
All Gamma gle We the Victoer-r-ria
cr-r-ross nor-r can A gle ye the
war-r-r medal, as ye desarve. Ye hae
saved ma life an Am goin' tae pit

New York-It is not surprising that
the French designers have gone to
Greece for several of their artistic
costumes.
Those who have studied history re-
member that the women + the Direc-
toire insisted upon a prevalence of
fashions that were lifted from the
shores of the Mediterranean and
Aegean Seas, when Napoleon was
fighting his way toward the Consulate.
And Josephine brought home with her
from Italy number of wonderful
Roman ideas, as we'll as the superb
jewelry which Napoleon refused to al
low her to accept, but which she did
accept secretly and with immense
pride. When Napoleon went further
toward the south, the women who fol-
lowed his career insisted upon the
fashions of the country he was in, and
there came into Paris an amazing dis
play of clothes from Palestine and
Greece.
Today We Follow the Army.
France is doing the same thing to-
day that she did during the direc-
toire in taking her fashions from the
campaigns of the army in those an
tique lands.
The British march thru Palestine
has brought back the Syrian turban
and the floating wells and neck COW
erings of colored tulle, also draped
skirts, low girdles and embroidered
transparent tunics
The French army in Salonika has
been the inspiration for GreciaI drap-
ery-short sleeves, Grecian bodices
and the corset-less figure.

Champagne-c satin gown by
Jenny, of Paris, with gathered pan
els of fish net front and back and
Greek bodice.
None of these fashions, however,
seem to have SO set America on fire
as the idea of the unbound body, which
has been taken from the Eastern
countries. There has been bitter argu-
ment as to whether we would accept
this dictate of Paris, all of which was
quite foolish, because the French
manneQuins have gone without corsets
before this season, without its having
effect on the American women. 1t
may be wiser to say that it did not
have a strong effect, for there is no
doubt that the tendency toward rub
Der corsets, toward those shapes that
end at the waistline and toward the
short backs and the elimination of
many elastics, has been due to the
French idea.

THE DANGEROUS TREND
IN AMERICAN AFFAIRS

! greatly accelerated by the war, and
1t Is one of the most serious ques-
tons ever presented to the American
people whether they intend to sur
render to 1t or 90 stand true to the
American faith in individual liberty
and distrust In enlarged powers OF
the state.
Unfortunately. as one. OF the ablest
editorial commentators on American
affairs. the Saturday. Evening Post
has recently pointed out, there is
very little being said for the case
against the plausible claims of the
advocates of oollectivism. We are
hearing a great deal of the evils of
the individualistic organization, hut
very little of the dangers and de-
fects Of so-called specialization. The
sinister private interests are be-
labored to great applause. We have
not begun to ask ourselves what con-
ditions would be with political inter
ests replacing them. with vast bu-
reaucracy ordering our lives In the
greatest detail. Public ownership
and other forms Of socialism maybe
an Improvement on present condi-
tons. But certainly we shall be
foolish indeed If we drift into it
without consideration of its draw
backs and without a sane considera-
ton not only OF the faults but of the
advantages Of the American system
as It has been tried for more than
century. We ought to set off the
evils Of predatory and tyrannical pri-
vate enterprise against the evils Of
predatory and oppressive bureau
crazy.
I Internationally one of the weak
nesses of our present situation is
that very large proportion OF the
immigration of the last half century
has been from countries where the
state represents all authority. Our
American education in the meantime
has been deplorably lax In instruc-
ton as.to the principles Of American
individualism and the historic expert
enoe which evolved and supported
our policies and institutions. OUR
newer citizens think naturally in
terms of state control. They have
not had the great education in in
dividual liberty which the American
people derived as the most precious
legacy OF their political ancestry

YET, THERE Is CIDER.

1t would look as though cider would be able
to defy the regulators of other peoples lives
and hold its own in an arid land whence every
other cheering beverage has fled. Laws can
not keep the grass from growing or prevent the
trees from clothing themselves in summer YER
dure; nor is it clear as yet how legislation can
keep cider from becoming hard. Of course the
implacable "demon-fghters' would joyously
make it a penal offense to press out apple juice;
but this would exasperate such a multitude OF
voters that congressman who are playing poll
tics with the prohibitonists will hesitate to
brave the outcry they would raise. Many po-
litical fences would look as though cyclone
had passed their way.
If citizen may lawfully squeeze the unsal-
able surplus of his orchards, keep the barreled
fluid in his cellar and regale himself Herewith
ad libit., it evidently must be left to his Judg-
ment when it gets too strong to drink, and it IS
not of record that any cider ever yet got hard
enough for that. And if it should chance to
freeze-and laws have never awaited to regu-
late the weather-and the seductive essence OF
the beverage should retreat from its icy bound
ary to collect at the center of the barrel, can
laws prevent that from flowing forth when the
container is pierced and prodded by wire9
As for other exhilirating beverages in I'M
memorial use, distillation has already stopped.
The manufacture of wine, recommended by
Paul for its medicinal value, will on May first,
next, cease for the first time since the Noachin
deluge. The brewing of beer which began for
all we know before the Aryan migration will
cease on December first, and the stock ON hand
probably will be so weak and watery as to
freeze in the kegs. Of all the potables that
have cheered mankind, cider alone will remain
to remind dispirited generation Of what life
was before the regulators took the digestive
tracts of a cowed and helpless people under
their control.
