C0LeRFUL HATS HAVE CALL

tached to Black, Favorites.

The milliners have especially laid
stress upon hats In color, instead of
black. The world should be quite weary
Of black on the head, for 1t has had six
years Of velvet, straw and satin In this
cambray shade. We are now to wear
gobelln blue, rose pink mandarin vel
low, leaf green and scarlet attached
to black.
The turban Is the thing, al
though there are women who cannot
abide 1t, who look Ill In 1t and who
insist upon the brim.
II they do, they will be in fash
ion. There is no one law that governs
the whole. The beaver dam turban,
however, with Its round crown, is a
somewhat new note In millinery.
And another thing that is Of inter-
est Is that the French milliners have
taken the collar and put 1t on the hat.
They have insisted for three years
upon what Is known as the fence col
lara wired, outstanding rufile Of or
gandle-and their women have liked
and worn 1t with spirit and dash. Now
It has gone up several inches and
tries to cover the crown Of hat In
stead of the neck Of woman.

WAR TOUCHES IN FASHION
Conservation Of Wool Noted In New
French Chiffon BIouses; Some
Still Show Woolen Trimmings.

Some Of the new French chiffon
blouses show embroidery with colored
string. The idea Is to save the wool
we had actually become used to the
combination Of heavy wool embroid-
cry on the flimsiest of chiffon-and
instead Of going about 1t with kill
Joy manner, as we are apt to go ahead
with our own effects to economize in
dressing, the French have achieved
distinct triumph in this string EN-
broidery, states a fashion writer.
Some blouses still show woolen
trimming Knitted collars and cuffs
on chiffon blouses for some reason ac-
quired distinct vogue, and they are
still In favor and will be In spite of
warmer days to come. They were first
seen In expensive imported blouses,
but clever women soon saw that they
could fashion these cuffs and collars
themselves with knitting needles and
wool and either make a simple chiffon
blouse to attach them to or get home
dressmaker to fashion the blouse for
them at considerable saving of cost.
And this wool collar and cuff set need
not be unpatriotic-it need not use
wool that might be used for soldiers
for there Is In almost every wom-
ans knitting bag enough dainty wool
left over from sweater with which
to make these colorful accessories.
Who ever heard Of wooden lava
Heres? But II we can wear beads
made from sealing wax and feel our
selves as well dressed as though we
had emcralds and diamonds, why not
jewelry Of wood? Some Of 1t Is made
by wounded French and English sol
diers-whose taste in such matters is
extremely good-and part Of the profit
In the sales goes to them. So we are.
In a measure, patriotic, besides, un.
doubtedly, In fashion when we wear
these trlfles Of wooden jewelry.

USE GLASS FOR FALSE HAIR
Material Also Converted Into Cotton
and Wool and Pressed Into
Sheets or Pads.

In Venice they are spinning glass for
commercial uses, converting 1t into
glass cotton and glass wool pressed
into sheets or pads, says the Popular
Science Monthly. Although the prin-
cipal use of the product at present is
for Insulation, we have heard the word
Of the Italian makers, that II serves
admirably for making artificial hair,
wigs, perukes, dolls hair, Santa Claus
boards and other hlrsute adornments.
The processes Of manufacture are
simple. Solid glass rods, made Of pure
American soda that contains no adul-
teratlon of lead or other metal, are
worked into fluff under Bunsen
burner and blowpipe. A bicycle wheel,
minus the tire, winds up the threads
II the threads are sufficiently fine they
curl and fluff out Ike wool.
The product is now marketed In
three forms-glass cotton, glass wool,
ind In sheets about one-half inch thick
which resemble white felt pads. In tho
last form mentioned 1t may be used TO
make separators for accumulators Ok
electricity.

TRIBE OF BEN HuR
EAT OYSTERS

Ben flur was great character in
his day and age. but he never knew
some OF the joys that were to come
to followers OF his some nineteen
centuries after he toiled at the gall
leys. as slave of Rome. or even
when he had regained his freedom
and humbled his ancient enemy in
the chariot race. for he never sat
down to an oyster supper served by
Mrs. Smith and her able assistance
in the Kile Inn Cafe at Raymer,
Colorado.
A score OF those who seek to pro-
tect their loved ones by carrying in
surance in this order met at the Inn
on Monday evening for the purposes
OF advancing their own and the or
der's good. The occasion was to OBJ
ligate some ten new members, to
elect officers and install the same and
have a general good time. All OF
these purposes were accomplished,
the latter of the objects being great
ly aided by the use of the Kile Inn s
culinary department in the prepar-
alton of that fayorite bi-valve, with
which these modern adherents re-
CALLED themselves.

BAN ON OLIVE OIL EXPORTS
Royal Order Calls Halt on Shipmente
Except Essentials, From Spain
to United States.

Olive oil exports from Spain, of
which large quantities Sfmerly were
shipped both directly and via France
aid Italy to the United States and
other foreign markets, from Barcelona
and Seville, are prohibited by receA
royal order, states commerce reports.
In southern Spain and In the region
Of Catalonia, the olive oil industry has
been an important source of revenue
to the growers who export to foreign
refneries, whence the oil was often
shipped to the United States, as Of
really non-Spanish production. Re.
Gently the direct exports Of the com.
modify from Spain to the United States
have increased considerably with the
development of the American taste for
the oil produced in Spain.
There is no embargo on exports of
essential oils such as pennyroyal. rose
mary, sage, thyme and lavender, the
Spanish production Of which Is large
ly destined for foreign markets, and
shipment Of which Is made direct from
Spain to the United States, France,
and elsewhere. These oils are pro-
duced especially In the regions Of Muir
ella and Malaga, where many medical
herbs are grown for domestic con-
sumption and export. As cOmparn-
lively little use Is made In Spain of
several oils derived from the plants
mentioned and other oll-producing
herbs, the local market is limited but
the industry may be developed indeh-
nitely in view Of the favorable eli
matte conditions of those sections OF
Spain where the plants flourish. In
1916 the declared exports of essential
oils from Malaga to the United States
were valued at s176,l6i; those from
Almerla, at s21,920; and those from
Barcelona, at $13,220.

BANK STATEMENTS
SHOW GOOD CONDITION

II is with a good deal Of satisfac-
tion that the people will examine the
various reports of the banks of this
section published in this issue, com
ing as they do at the close Of the
most critical year these banks have
known since their organization.
Not a few people viewed with a
degree Of apprehension the future of
all financial undertakings IN this
section when ii became apparent
last June that but little could be ex-
.pected from the wheat crop. Not on
ly the banks but the entire com
munity had gone the limit In their
pledges TO support the government
In buying bonds and stamps.
II is true that tho statements do
not show up like they did year
ago, nor is rs easy to borrow as one
year ago. still they are able to meet
the most pressing needs,
Not only this, but there has been
very little sale of property sacri-
iiee to meet payments on paper that
was past due The record is a mos,
favorable one. a credit 10 the commu-
nifty and 10 the hanks. Each deserve

"Never mind; I'm sure II wasn't
your fault" and the lady smiled at
him without a trace Of anger or even
irritation on her face.

warmly. Most women would have
withered that clumsy fellow with a
look, II they hadn't scorched him with

RAYMER SOLDIER
HARD TO STOP

The following taken from re,
cent issue OF the Omaha World-Her-
ad tells Of the grit displayed by one
Raymer soldier boys when he faced
the firing line.
Melvin Thomas, who is among
the wounded the debarkation hos
pital was with Company &C" of the
Three Hundred and Forty-first.
1T rained day and night from
the 18th Of September on said
Thomas. 1T wasn't so bad on the
st. Mihiel drive, but. the going was
awful in the Argonne. AT night
when we had to dig in we simply
laid in holes in THE mud, which at
once filled with water,
In the Argonne, Thomas was hit
in the hand, but kept going. Then
a machine gun bullet scored his arm
Soon after he commenced to devel-
op an extreme case of rheumatism
from the cold and wet, but he re-
fused to give in. II was only after
a shell broke his arm and leg
that he was put out of action and
was finally carried to the rear"
From this We are still In the dark
as to whether Thomas lost a limb or
not, but we would psesume that he
did not.

There Is herewith appointed COM

KAISER HANDCUfFED
NOW IN STRASSDURG

Paris.-Wth an admirable sense
of appropriateness allied to sense
of humor, the French hive solved the
problem Of the huge statue OF the
kaiser in strassbnrg. For weeks
plans have been made for the de-
struction OF the figure on horseback.
which is really a work of art. But
a few days ago a delightful solution
was arrived at. The two hands Of
the kaiser, one resting on the neck
of the horse and one falling at the
side have been manacled with iron
chains and on the plnth of the stat
ue has been carved "sic transit gIo-
