WORTHY TO VEIL ROYALTY
Queen Of Slam the Possessor of Prob
ably Most Magnificent Garment
----g7T In the World. -. Sasi

|
The queen Of Siam owns a toilet
article which is altogether calculated
to I'll the hearts Of all other ladies'
OF the kingdom with ardent desire and
envy. For the queen is the. happy
possessor of veil capable of beau
tifying her face most wonderfully.
This veil Is a delicate tissue of the
finest threads, but woven so as to
have some resistance.
Part Of this three-meters-long veil
Is intended to conceal the face, while
the remainder flows down over the fig
ure and closely nestles to the BODY.
The veil, which falls over the back.
Is completely sown over with diamond
dust, while the part in front is less
busted, SO as not to impair the face
and the organs of sense. The lowest
ends Of the veil are covered with bril-
liants.
The tissue Of the veil is so prepared
as to cause changes in color when ex-
posed to the air. No sooner has tie
wearer stepped into the street than
the veil assumes delicate rosy hue,
which deepens and, as it were, be-
comes animate the longer it remains
In the open. When the queen returns
to her abode the hue passes away and
the veil turns pale and dead as be-
fore.
The veil has been credited with DOS
sesslng the most wonderful powers.
FOR a century it has been in the pos
session of the royal house of Siam,
md although constantly used and ex-
POSED to all kinds of influences of the
weather. 1T has not lost anything of
is texture and beauty.

p6SsibIIitles Of North Africa.

North Africa-Tunis, Algeria and
Morocco-contains around half mil.
lion square miles. Some OF 1t is des
ert, but much OF 1t is highly produc
tive. and 1t has special advantages for
producing some forms of live stock.
The climate and pasture make 1t al.
most as ideal country as Australia
for sheep raising, and 1t has peculiar
advantages for what might be called
extensive pig raising; its acorns and
other tree crops taking the place Of
corn. Yet down to the beginning of the
war very little had been done to make
this potential wealth actual and avail
able.

THE COMEDY AND DRAMA OF
REGISTRATION AS ENACTED
BY THOUSANDS YESTERDAY

from 7 in the morning until 9 at
night. the school teachers acknowl-
edged that they had been very much
entertained. 1T was hard for us TO
realize that registering is a serious
business with these men. Some of
them were so excited. A great
many had no idea what year they
were born in, some could not re-
member what their middle initial
stood for and few could not think
what any of their initials stood for.
One Of them gave the wrong ad-
dress. He was Teutonic and stout.
He came putting back to the clerk
covered with perspiration, his bald
head cleaning with myriad beads.
Il got home, looked up the
noomber and 1 said Ach Mein Gott
1 have given the young lady 1t
wrong. and mebbe they will arrest
me-" He was reassured and his
first card was marked Cancelled"
There were many Cancelled cards
due to just such errors.

Many Unnaturalized
At Franklin School.

The registration places in the
Franklin school handled lot of un-
naturalized foreigners. In that dis

even PHILIPPINES. Several Chinese
came with interpreters to register.

clerk
so many of them would swallow
them so before answering ques-
| tions."
II never knew there were so
many men separated from their
wives in this town." said another.
When I asked them IL they were
married they said yes. When
asked them IL their wife was their
nearest relative they would hesitate
and say, 'w'well I would rather you
should put down my sister. or
mother. or some other relative"
Statements had to be made re-
lative to the color OF the registrant's
hair. One man sat at the desk in
front of a young woman clerk with
his hat persistently pulled down
well over his head. When she came
to the question concerning the color
OF the hair she had to pointedly ask
him to remove his hat.
His hair had no color. There was
no hair.

banks throughout the country ad-
vising them to file exemption claims
in behalf of their essential employees.
The association believes that skill
ed bookkeepers should be included
in the deferred group together with
officers and tellers OF the banks.
1t is pointed out that il will be i'm
possible to substitute women en-
tirely in these positions as they are
unable to stand the strain of the
long hours required of bookkeepers.
They declare that the banks of the
country have already lost a large
number OF their skilled employees and
that a certain number OF these must
be retained IL the banking business

Colored Man Wants to
SIGN Under Two Names.

One colored man in Washington Is
going to be reported as q Stacker In
spite of his efforts to the contrary.
He told the clerk yesterday after
noon that both his wife and his
mother were waiting for a chance TO
fix him." and he was sure that at
last 1t was only a question Of which
one would get the chance.
You see. Judge" he explained.
when 1 usta live wifi my pappy
used his name, and then when ! lived
with my NANNY / used her name.
When got married used my pappy's
name. an my wife amt never heard
my other one.
"If l registahs under my pappy's
name, my mammy's goin' repot me
as one of des here slackers, and II
1 uses my mammy's name. my wife's
goan do dat repoting,"
The unfortunate man suggested that
he be permitted to register twice as
way out of his dilemma, but in spite
OF his entreaties the clerk had to re-
strict him to one registration. The
question Is now, under whose name
did he register. and which Of his
women folks will have the satisfac-
i ton of reporting him as Stacker.

NO NEW WOOL FOR
CIVILIAN USE, URGED
War Industries Board Issues Warn.
ing to Prevent Shortage.

There is no new wool for civilian
consumption and there will not be
"for some time to come"
This was the statement of the War
Industries Board last night in a warn
ing that there must be conservation
of wool. /and of all things made Of
wool. for a long time to come, to
prevent serious shortage and real dis
tress."
The admonition to conserve applies
particularly to the uses of cloth and
clothing now made up that will be dif-
ficult of renewal when the present
stocks are exhausted.
No real shortage, however, the War
Industries Board emphasizes, Is to be
feared this winter in the supply OF
wollen cloth or clothing, for there are
large stocks OF both on hand for
normal civilian demands for the sea-
son.
No program for future supply OF
wool for cloth for civilians can be
undertaken at this time, the war
Industries Board asserts, as the sit
uation now is such that wool must be
imported for strictly governmental
needs and, until such Importation re-
suits in a surplus, there will be no
provision for the civilian population.
