MAKE PET OF CAPTURED MULE
Allied Soldiers in France Play With
Animal That Once Was in the
Service of the Kaiser.

At the battle of LOos, bOmbers cap.
tured a shivering German mule, which
they dubbed Kaiser Bill, says Boys
Life, the Boy Scouts Magazine. But
the new Kaiser Bill was very INTEL
hgent and friendly toward his captOrs,
so the meb thought thatto be fair to
the mule. they had better drop the
Kaiser and call him just plain Billy.
Billy earned his ratiOns by towing
about the brigade bOmb-cart. When
off duty the men used to play with
him. He would answer to his name.
and come trotting over when his mas
ter called. Billy is still with the bril-
gade, and the men say that he lows
those bombs up to the dump for use
against the Germans with the greatest
relish.
1t is odd to see a big, rough. hard
ended soldier in trench as he fondles
a little trench kitten, his features soft
ening. "PoOr little beggar." he thinks,
$50 helpless and weak. And it's
warm-and living"
Can anything erase from the char
acter of man those traits which make
life worth while-pity, love, and
mercy? Ease and luxury may; but
trouble, hardship, and danger never.

New STYLES Simple,

Trimncss and simplicity are particu-

though afternoon dresses may be cut
on similar lines. there is a decided
tendency toward the use of two mate

Lace and Embroidery.

From Paris comes the news that an
immense amount of lace, particularly
of the lighter varieties, Is being used
in the models turned out by the great
French houses. Chantilly is at present
of the most MISUNDERSTANDING in

lightly spangled in black or steel.
Other delicate black and white laces
are being used in the alluring form of
panels, streamers and scarfs, and there

thority predicts much embroidery, es.
pecially on crepe and georgette.

France sends the narrow silhouette

She sends us embroidery of wooden
beads and fringes Of Irvine in order to
give work to those who need it and to
substitute cheap form of ornamental
ton for an expensive one.
She sends us all the common, every
day fabrics such as gingham, cotton,
wolfe, canvas and sacking. She teaches
us to be economical and go to the attic,
through her use of old laces of every
kind. She sends us high puttees and
cloth-top shoes in order that We may

Gown for Afternoon and Evening.
Now, as a browning effort of con-
servation and economy, she sends us
the new afternoon gown which is worn
in the evening. 1t is made of thin ma
terial, 1t has transparent sleeves long
or short, and it has half-decOlletage.
1t has indefinite variety. often it blazes
with color, again it is subdued to black
and white combined, and 1t can be
worn for every indoor occasion from
four in the afternoon until midnight.
Such frock saves the buying Of
many shoes. 1t is stroke Of that
Illuminating inspiration that the
French have when they put their
minds to economy. There is nothing

even those who do not stare economy

that the Senate had voted to take

Registrants do not seem to un-
derstand the two notification cards
sent them. If registrant makes
claim on account dependents, the
Local Board acts on the case, and
classifes him. If he makes only
Agricultural or Industrial claim, the
District Board acts on said case,
classifes him. If registrant makes
both dependent and Industrial or
Agricultural claim, the Local Board
acts on dependency claim, and holds
papers for some days, and forwards
them to District Board to act on
other claim. The registrant will be
finally classed in most deferred
class. If Local Board classifies him
in one and District Board in two,
the two class is one he will be fin
ally classed in. If Local Board
classes him in Class four, and Dis
trict Board in two, the Local Board
classification holds, and he will be
finally classed in four.

not been a figure. He has always
been on hand to "advise" the faith
full how to vote, sometimes as the
representative of one candidate and
sometimes as the representative of
another. The result is that the Tax
Commission is in bad odor. And
we say that it is so because of the
fact that A. W. Jones is it's Chair
man, and because of his autocratic
acts. If he would resign today half
the opposition to the system would
be dead.
We warned Governor Manning
that this was to be expected but
he trotted his own political path, and
now the Tax Commission must go
unless it's Chairman is willing to 60.
1t may not be this session. If not
this; then it will be the next. Big
talk about corporation lawyers has
about spent its force. The people
have taken the measure of a pro-
fessional politician.

With the starting of Mrs. Franci:

last of the guests at their Christmas
party. Mr.. Sayre had preceded his

where they are established this win

at Harvard, and Mrs. Sayre would
not remain in Washington longer,
although asked to stay until after
her boys birthday.
Master Francis Ssyre, who was
three years old on last Thursday, is
the only one of the Presidents
grandchildren who was born in the
White House, and his grandfather
was most anxious that his birthday
should be celebrated in the house of
his birth with cake with three
candles-and zone to grow on"
Mrs. Sayre, by the way, says her
small daughter, who was named for
her aunt, Mrs. William G. McAdoo,
and her grandmother, is called Flea
nor and not Ellen. She explained
that while her intention had been
to call the girl after her mother,
who was Ellen Axon Wilson, the
late Mrs. Wilson always had consid-
cred the two, names identical and
that Eleanor had been her favorite
form, moreover. This distinction
served to avoid confusion, for the
