DESTROYING OLD BOMBS.
Americans Are Cleaning Up in the vi
entity of Treves.

Treves, Germany, March l7.-Zeppelin
bombs of uncertain age and manufacture
have been destroyed by the hundreds re-
Gently by American soldiers engaged in
cleaning up" after the withdrawal Of
the enemy. These bombs, of no practical
use owing to long exposure to the wealth
err, were found near a hangar in the re-
gion of Treves when the American army
of occupation crossed into Rhenish Prus-
STA from the Luxembury border.
The task of destroying thousands of
tons of old, and in many instances
worthless, German shells. began several
weeks ago, the explosives being placed
in great pits and covered with steel rails
and wood and piles of earth and fired by
electricity.
Thousands of anti-aircraft shells also
have been destroyed on the summit of a
ridge of hills skirting the Moselle in this
vicinity and ordnance experts in charge
of the work expect to finish their work
here soon and then move on to other
German ammunition dumps awaiting
their attention along the Rhine and 9th
err parts of the occupied territory.

Picking, Saturday, March Is by the

bers of the cabinet and allied ministers
attended ceremonies at Central park to-
day initiating the rebuilding Of the mon
umeut erected to Baron Won Ketteler,

ton. The premier said during the cere-
monies that it would remind future gem

OF food conditions in Europe Miss
Spinney writes;
THE food in Paris is very good, very
well prepared. We are hungry most Of
the time, but this is probably due to the
fact that we get practically no fat. In
general. food is more satisfactory than
that we had in London. We had either
cabbage or Brussels sprouts twice daily

Using All the Coffee.

The authorities of tho food admin

could be accomplished If we never
made any more coffee than we needed.
That is, it has been estimated that

any coffee left in the coffee pot after
breakfast, but plan as you may II

some left. This should not be thrown

with it. If you are used to after-dinner
coffee you will need none the night
that you serve a coffee dessert In
fact, even before the present food
shortage before the war had been
dreamed of, housewives sometimes
planned a coffee dessert to take the
party-a little coffee jelly served with

One-piece frock of black cloth
trimmed with gray astrakhan. There
is a high collar of this, also deep
cuffs and pompons at ends of sash.
The truth is that the only women
who know how to touch up their faces
properly are the French. They do not
consider it vulgar artificiality. They.
take it seriously and put it in the
realm of artistic dressing. They are
as careful about line and colorings
as their friends, the artists. They
make up differently to suit different
costumes. They study the line of the
paint on the mouth in order that 1t
will accentuate a virtue in expression
or conceal a defect. Therefore, they
can wear whatever color they want.
and they can nearly always surround
their faces with any type of collar or
hat that they choose to make the fash
ion. They make up to the hat and
the collar. We don't know how to do
it, and so we must wear the clothes
that suit us. If we choose gray, we
must have the coloring in our COM
plexions that permits of gray, and If
we choose black trimmed with gray,
" hich is one of the new connections of
the hour, we must be quite sure that
our faces are not deadened out of all
attractiveneSS.
When the new season burst into full
flower of fashion, it was observed that
everything woolly was correct. Fab
RIGS have sap. hats have fuzzy sur
face, wooden threads disport them
selves as ornaments. Whatever is
silky, like fringe. is cur1ed up to look
like ostrich feathers. Few things
that women wear are possessed of a
smooth surface. except velvet.
It was quite natural. with this intro
| duction of rough surfaces into fashion,
that peltries would follow suit, and
altho Hudson seal IS one of the most
fashionable furs of the hour, that is
partly patriotism and partly because
women know it is becoming.
The sketch shows a gown of rough
black cloth trimmed with rough gray
fur which the furriers call astrakhan
or krimmer, as they wish. The bodice
and tunic are cut on slim lines, and
the underskirt is narrow to the point
of extinction. The gray astrakhan
goes high against the neck, covers the
chin and dips downward in a broad
band to the waist The sleeves are
! nearly covered to the elbows with
| tubelike cuffs of the fur, and, mark
you, these high cuffs constitute a
fashion that must be observed If
your sleeve is cuffless, it is long and
tight. but If it has a cuff. it must ex-
tend upward and outward.

linen handkerchiefs and in the other a
pair of silk sox. The men being thus
literally remembered by the cleaning
lady," whom they have scarcely seen
and never noticed, are very touchy
about these presents and have re-
quested their wives not to tell a soul.
1 wonder if the wives didn't put the
presents for their husbands in the
packages with their gifts from the
cleaning woman. Or perhaps some
mischievous neighbor in the apart
ment fixed up the gifts. If the colored
woman who does the cleaning did it

AGATHA.
Miss Margaret Robe, who writes for
the United Press in Paris, says that
the girls over there are wearing their
cigarets in charming holders. of vivid
varied shades, long, slender little
things. and that it is perfectly proper
in Paris. She says:
1.-THE pipe of peace they're smoking now,
But cigarets of war
Are still 'twixt lips. encarnidined,
OF females, more and more.
"a puff of smoke promises to OBJ
scure the popularity even of the pow
der puff with the fair sex. No won
der cigarets are scarce in Paris with
all the girls lighting one from another
in a reckless abandon that would
if she but knew about it.
"Goodnes knows what excuse we
are going to have for all our delight
full bad habits, now that the war is
ended. 'C'est Ia guere' used to work
fine with Father when we took out a
cigaret after dinner and shortened
our skirts up to our knees. AS an eff
ficient excuse however that is now
'fini as the doughtboys would say
and do. But why bother looking for
excuses when it takes all our time
looking for cigarets.
Actually, they have become rarer
and more priceless even than sugar
or bonbons. At your hotel tho you
tip yourself francless you still will be
unserved, but flash a cigaret at your
femme de chambre or the valet and
the house is yours. On the strength of
one or two Leanimas or Giraffes you
can even obtain food and strong drink
after the mystic hour of $50 and
that's certainly obtaining 'beaucoup.'
