secured the exclusive right for the
publication of this story in Cordova,
which will begin about March Is.
For year and a half, until he fell
wounded in No-Man's Land, this
American soldier saw more actual
fighting and real warfare than any war
correspondent who has written about
the war. His experiences are grim
but they are thrilling and lightened by
"a touch of humor as original as the
Soldiers Three. And they are true.

one of the American soldiers who went

WOMEN SHOW INGE MNTy
IN ESCAPING JURY DUTY

SAN FRANCISCO, FtetS. 27.-E E8men
show greater originality than men. in
the matter OF framing eSeuses to, avoid
doing jury duty, according to Jury
Commissioner Thomas s. Mulyey.. who
has been listening to, thousands of rea-
sons offered. by men and. women why
they should be EXCUSED.
A number of women. have done what
mere man, who perhaps. has had more
experience with courts, has not dared
to do. They have sought to avoid
jury duty by the simple, process of igs
noring the. summons. Included among
these are namber Of women who
are officials OF various celebrations and
civic organizations. These, will get a
second summons, and If thay fail to
respond their names will be- put in a.
jury box and they wilk be, subject to
call for serwice.
One woman wrote LO hLH1Eey that
she. thought she ought to be, excused
as her "sixteenth child is i'll and the
eighteenth is Less than six months
old" Another said sha, would lust
love to- serve" but har' husband
wouldn't ever consent"
Another fair voter summoned replied
on perfumed stationery. through her
secretary, that sha could not possibly
spare the time Commissioners Mulyey
says she was one OF the eiabwomen
who wrote him several weeks ago de-
handing that SO per cent of the 1915
jury panel be composed of women.
Pleas of nervousness. Illness or ths
care of children are among the mora
frequent excuses.

CARING FOR REFUGEES
FROM NORTHERN ITALY
(By Associated Press)

TAORMINA, Sicily, Jan. % INV
maiD Fourteen hundred refugees
from the country north of the Piave
have found shelter in this old Sicilian
mountain town, described by Soma
Americans as the most beautiful place
in the world. The hotels which cared
for tourists before the war have beep
thrown open to the refugees. They
have rooms generally by families. and

make shift on the emigrant steamers
English and American residents
joined with the townspeople in pro

are food and employment. and repre-
sentatives of the American Red Cross
who visited here left fund with the
local war committee to purchase wool
and pay the refugee women for knit
ting warm socks and gloves for Italian
soldiers.
Five hundred refugees arrived at
midnight at the Giardini station. two
and a half miles below on the coast

eldest were brought up in carriages.
hundreds climbed the steep footpatb

Many had walked continuously for
five days and nights before reaching
the train which took eight weary DAYS
and nights to bring them here. 1t was

/ WHAT A LIVE CITY HAS DONE.


Wilkes Barre, Pa, is a, town of 80,
600 people. Ittissih thebenter of the
~thracite coal region. When the wal
T. 90 out its residents saw the neces.
800 w.. - e., Neding UP coal mining and
Taonnfacfnrin. and they also saw a
chance for tReff ci9 to forge ahead
So, instead OF talking aCsn!ut the adj
vantages of Wilkes Barre, got busy.
They increased the membership of
their Commercial club from 500 to l.
200 members The income of the club
was raised from $1,000 to 100000 a
year.
The Commercial club is issuing liter
AZURE telling what has been done and
offering to furnish particulars to man
ufacturers who might desire to locate
there.
We imagine that any manufacturer
who was considering changing his To-
cation or establishing a branch plan
would hesitate before passing up
Wilkes-Barre. The argument that the
city has 1900 members in its Com
merce club who pay $4,000 a year
would force him to give some consider
alton to city whose residents were

KNITTED SUITS AND MANTELS
Skirts, Capes, Separate Coats, Stock
ings and Hats Among the Popular
Handmade Apparel.

Women who have now supplied all
quaintance will all the knitted gar
ments they can use, and have also con.
tributed to the Red Cross and similar
organizations their full quota OF
knitted articles, may now turn with a
light heart to knitting for themselves
and their families, for in the vogue of
knitted garments there is no lessening,
declares O correspondent in New
York Herald. Every week or two sees
some new knitted article appearing to
challenge tNe interest Of the skilfuI
knitter.
Entire knitted costumes are more
than ever popular in France, and will,
of course, take possession Of American
fancy in due time. Knitted skirts,
suits, capes, separate coats, which are
really jackets and not sweaters in dis
guise, and of course stockings and hats
are to be seen at French country
places where the mode is followed at
all carefully. For children the knitted
frocks, coats, hats and suits are also
seen. The skirts are short and some
of them are box plated, while many
are made in stripes, white and color
and are extremely vivid and jaunty
Coral-colored knitted garments are
highly popular. In fact, all hues may
be said to be in vogue, the more bril-
liant the better.

Remember the Laundering.

When you start out to buy new
bit Of neckwear do remember that
one advantage of the lovely neckwear
that we have nowadays is that it can
be changed often enough so that the
fabric coming about the neck is al
ways immaculate. So buy neckwear
that can be sent to the laundry when
ever necessary without being hurt.
Some Of the prettiest bits Of neck
wear, it must be admitted. are too
elaborate to be cleaned in the laundry,
and some loses all its charm Of fresh
ness with its first Tubing. But, new
ertheless, unless you have a personal
maid and big dress allowance, the
kind that can be tubbed is best.

Serges, Wool veIours, Tricotines,
Among Favored Fabrics.
Styles in Coats and Suits Are Said
to Be Leaning Toward the Smart
ly Tailored Effects.

With the fall buying season fairly
under way, manufacturers of coats
and suits for women feel that they
are now in position to form a fair
ly accurate idea as to what will be
the leading features for the coming
season, both as to materials and as
to the manner in which they are to
be worked up, says fashion writer
in New York Times. There are few,
If any, new novelty materials avail
able for their purposes, and it seems
that for coats such more or less sta
pie fabrics as serges, wool velours,
tricotines, silvertones, and OXfordS
are in the highest favor with buyers.
Some plain and novelty plushes are
also selling. The leading suit mate
rials thus far and those which manu-
facturers believe will be the best
throughout the fall and winter, are
broadcloths, mems wear serges, tri-
cotines, and few pushes.
Styles in both coats and suits are
said to be tending Enthusiastically to-
ward smartly tailored effects. A, Sc
verify and plainness in this respect
which borders on the mannish are
creeping in, and partly for this rea-
son, it is thought, colors are usually
confined to the darker shades. While
this is given as the general direc-
ton in which styles are drifting,
there are, however, exceptions. Many
shades of tan are seen, ranging all
the way from sand to very dark
brown. There is also liberal sprink-
ling in most lines of such shades as
geranium red, French blue and Nile
green. This latter color, however, is
said to meet with only perfunctory ap-
proval either in coats or in suits.
Some houses are featuring furs for
trimming on both coats and suits, but
ly. The majority opinion in the trade
seems to be that prices are already
high enough without the addition Of
expensive furs, and the early expert
| ences in many showrooms, from all &C.
] counts, have demonstrated that buyers
with but few exceptions concur in this
| belief.
There seems to have been consider
/ able effort expended this season or
the development of new ideas in col
lars for coats, and quite few more
or less novel treatments have resulted
which are apparently pleasing to many
buyers.

practical value, but the cost Of such
space is Just as great as though 1t
were available for manifold uses.
In home planning and home building
and the idea Of building a home or
the desire to plan one is dormant or
active in every normal person-the
chief trouble arises from endeavor to
associate ideas that are incompatible.
Many home builders seek to use the
feature ideas Of many houses and that
is utterly impossible for the ideas are
dissimilar and cannot be put together
without disregarding cost or sacrific-
ing appearance.
In building home the thought
should be borne in mind that every
cubic foot Of enclosed space repre-
sents a fraction of the cost. In actual
practice the cost ranges from Is to 80
cents per cubic foot. If, due to care
less or impractical arrangement, the
space Is not usable it represents a
dead loss, and that fact will become
painfully evident to the owner if ever
the house is placed on the market.
These practical ideas of value
should be kept in mind when eXamin-
ing plan with a view to it's adoption,
or in making up tentative plans from
which the final design is to be made.

and well lighted. The exterior is at

This home may not suit you in every
particular, but then you are reading
plans to get ideas and you get one, or
a part Of one, from every plan you
examine and one day you will find all
of your ideas combined in just the way
you want them combined, and that will
be your house.
All worthy ideals are worth striving
for and your ideal of home certainly
is worth the effort it will cost you to
secure or produce it.
Why not take this design and ex-
anime it in the light of modern ideas
and compare and contrast it with your
ideals.

FOR FALL SEASON

be all that is necessary very often, or
a more picturesque hat may have a
net ruche placed directly on the brim
and encircling the crown.
A small toque shape may be very
easily covered entirely with some one
Of these diaphanous materials, which
can be held in close to the crown with
a wreath of tiny flowers or band of
ribbon. Again a straight Organdie rib
bon or one of georgette or net may be
draped around the crown and made in
a bow at the side.
The plated nets, georgettes and or
candle ruchings are also useful for
covering hat brims that are soiled or
shabby. The plating may stand up
around the crown and lie fiat on the
brim. The adjustment of these trim
mings takes very little time and will
often solve the problem of making

one really wants fall hat.

of Massachusetts, permitted, of course,
or at least not forbidden by Great Brit
ain. On May 27, 1852, the general
court of Massachusetts colony passed
an act establishing a mint at Boston
and appointing John Hull mintmaster.
He was a silversmith and an emigrant
from the old country. He must have
been a man of some consequence, for
in addition to mintmaster he became
town treasurer of Boston, captain Of
an artillery company and finally treas
urer of the colony. AS mintmaster he
coined silver shillings, sixpences and
thripences, all of which had design
on one side of a pine tree as an en-
blem of Massachusetts. From this it
came to be called Pine-tree money and

The SILK Suit.

There is probably no one outfit
which meets the summer season with
so much gratifying appropriateness as
it has a pleasing way of adapting it
self to circumstances, and through its
elegance demands acknowledgment of
it's presence, whatever the occasion. It
need only rely upon the hat which ac-
companies it for one to distinguish the
hour of the day. A tam of rough
straw is pretty style for morning,
while a broad-brimmed, flowered or
feather-trimmed hat would tend to
bring out the dressy attributes of the
suit,

Wartime Pastry.-Grease a pie tin
well, then sprinkle thickly with corn
meal, busting it well up to the sides.
Then fill with any desired mixture

ing; bake as usual. The pie will cut
and serve as well as if the regular
pastry had been used and it tastes
good, too.
Cold boiled rice may be used in the
same way in place of pastry or corn
meal, making most appetizing pie.

half cupfuls of barley flour, four
eggs, one tablespoonful of lemon juice,

of the eggs, beating each well, stir in
the sirup and flour sifted with the
dry ingredients. Bake in a moderate
oven.
Barley -four does not keep as well
as wheat flour, so it should be bought
in small quantities. Pastry is better
used the same day, when prepared witt
barley flour. Less shortening is need
ed when using barley, otherwise it is
used just as one does wheat flour.

Summer Silks.

Summer silks in gingham patterns
are vying with the real ginghams for
first place as morning frocks. They
have in their favor the fact that they
are more simple to launder, and then
there is no denying the fact that silk
is the coolest of all materials. A style
set by the smartly dressed women at
Palm Beach during the season there is
being repeated here. That is to use
white piquue in wide bands as trim
ming for summer silk dresses. 1t is
most effective when the silk is black
and white, the chalky whiteness of the
pigue standing out in an interesting
contrast to the silk.
