Prussians Really Huns.

The appellation of Huns, which Will
liam II coveted for and himself ap-
piled to Prussians, even to the extent
of naming one of his sons for the In.
famous Attila, the Hunnish "Scourge
of God.' seems really to belong to that
people in an chronological sense. Mr..
Levisee, in his "Studies In Prussian
History" tells US that the Prussians
are "a people belonging to the Lithu.
anian race mixed with Finnish ele-
ments; which would make then kim
dred with the Huns, Turks and Bull
CARS. They were Of old colonizad,
Christienized and ousted from their old
domain by the famous Knights of the
Teutonic Order. The last grand mas,
ter of that order, Albert of Branden-
burg, espOused the reformation, secu-
larized the domains of the order, and
made himself hereditary duke of Prus-
sia-that is, Po-Russia, or "Near Rus
sia." 1t is interesting to recall that
the first Hohenzollern duke of Prus-
STA began his historical career as q
renegade, perjurer and traitor,
Truly the Hohenzollern line has been
what cattle breeders call constant to
the type!"

Lines that give an effect of slender
ness make the plainest frocks or suits
intensely interesting to women whose
figures have lost that longed-for at
tribute of youth. Line and quality
they are the first consideration in the
American gentlewoman's clothes after
she has reached 'the age of discretion"
and becomes severely discriminating.
She will stake the simplest affair in
street fr0ck or suit, if it possesses
what she requires in these regards,
and tone it up to high degree of dis
tinction by means of bit of neck
wear, furpiece, and q hat that
matches 1t in trimness. Designers oc-
cupy themselves in working out clothes
that are to give to the figure long and
very graceful lines and their artful
achievements compel us to admire
them.

is a case In point; built on almost
straight lines and plain even to the
exclusion Of buttons. The skirt is mar.

Cleaning.

England is delighted, and justly DO,
with her surprising success at wheat
culture, the present home grown crop
of which released many thousand
tons of shipping flor use elsewhere.
Incidentally, also, the home product
saved England many millions that
normally would have been sent beyond
the ocean to Argentina and the United
States for breadstuffs. 1t is now pre-
dcted that never again will the 'island
kingdom" allow her ancient agriculture
to fall into evil ways as during the
last half century. How well, indeed,
the world has learned during the trials
and restrictions of war that Mother
Earth is a cherishing mother indeed,
and that in hours of distress it is to
her that man must turn for comfort
and succor.

HAS RiuriT IDEA OF ECONOMY
How European City UtiIizes Water
Power Which Otherwise Would Be
of No Value.

An notwithstanding system which
utilizes power that would otherwise go
to waste has been installed in school
in a southern Europeaa city. The ex-
listing hot-water pipes and radiators
are connected with q well-insulated
water tank of 1,300-gallons' capacity.
In this reservoir electric resistances
are built, and at night are supplied
with current which raises the water
to well above the boiling point. The
cost OF the current is low because the
water power used to produce it nor.
mally would go to waste. During the
day the hot water is allowed to circu-
late through the radiators, it's vol
ume being sufficient to warm the
rooms without using more current.
The desired temperature is maintained
by a thermostat.-Popular Mechanics

noticeable, merely Sits at each side
that don't interfere with any line
which is pursuing its straight-down-
ward career. The ever present fur col
lar and cuffs, in this particular in
stance, are of Hudson seal, the collar
one of those long convertible affairs
that can be brought up close about the
throat.
Collars by the way are one of the
means of achieving length of line.
Made of the material of the coat or
frock or blouse they creep up about
the chin and are fastened by buttons
at the end of long row on the gar
ment. It is impossible not to follow
this slim line of buttons that attract
and hold the eye.
Panels, wide and narrow, that hang
from neck to hem, made their instant
success because of their long lines.
For the sake of variety designers have
added narrow floating panels to one
piece frocks and have carried out the
idea in many ways on both frocks and
suits. Even blouses have taken on
the distinction of panels that fall from
the shoulder and far below the limits
Of the waist they embellish.

silk cord laced across the emplace-
ment and tied in bow below it make
the ,prettiest sort of finish.
The pockets, as in nearly all plaid
dresses, are cut on the bias of the
goods and are very practical as well
as decorative. This model might be
made up in other than plaid materials
by using silk where the plain fabric
is used in it, with plain or striped
or checked goods.
