Fashion is inclined 10 be tolerant
and broad-minded this summer allow
Ing several paths to be favored, so long
as they lead to the same goal And the
goal in afternoon gowns is styles
that are utterly feminine. One may
reach it by travelling the rich, sleek,
silky way, or take the airy route that
leads through clouds of thin, misty
materials. Even the silhouette varies
according to the character of the fab
RIGS whercwithal we are clothed.
Silks float about the figure and cling
to 1t, organizes wreathe and froth
about 1t; we have dresses nipped in at
the waist and dresses that hang as
straight as q chemise, but they are of
a daintiness and righteousness that
are dear to women.
Here are two very dissimilar frocks
for afternoon that illustrate the fore
going. One Of them Is a black and
white combination In which georgette
crepe makes the upper half and black
satin the lower half Of a handsome
gown. Thread embroidery on the
georgette enriches the frock and leads
up to the heavy silk cord that lies

about the waist and loops over at the
back. Elbow sleeves proclaim this o
midsummer model.
Dotted wolfe is to be credited with
the daintiness Of the frock at the right
of the group. 1t has narrow under
skirt and long, tucked tunic that is
quite full, over it. The full bodice
with round neck has threequarter
length, tucked sleeves and fastens at
the left front with small round but
tons. A dress Of this kind without q
sash doesn't seem to be In the mind OF
designers this season, and here we
have three long ends of narrow ribbon
falling from a bow at the waistline,
These gay, fluttering ribbons are char
acteristic of the season.
There are many lovely colcrs tc
choose from, according to their be-
comingness, in plain and in figured
voiles. The latter appear to have the
preference, there Is something so un.
pretentious about them. They are en-.
ticingly dainty and make it easy to
meet the demands of fashion in after
noon gowns.

the United States from the beginning
Of the war up to November 8, 1913,
was 2,506,307, of which little more
than 100000 were Springfield rifles.
Considerable attention is devoted to
the production of automatic pistols
and revolvers for the troops. Euro
pean countries failed to appreciate the
value of large caliber, hard-hitting
weapon of the American type and the
chief use Of pistols and revolvers in
European armies had been as orna-
ments for officers uniforms, it is said.
With the standard army automatic
it is stated, "any average soldier with
average training can hit what he
shoots at. In almost the first skirmish
it proved its superior usefulness in
trench fighting. Such incidents as
that of the single American soldier
who dispersed or killed q whole squad
Of German bayoneteers which had sur
rounded him struck the enemy with
fear of Yankee prowess with the
pistol"

DISQUIET is SEEN
AMONG SLOVAKS

the vacancies left by the Slovak INTEL
ligencia with officials from Bohemia
and Moravia. This naturally angers
both the Magyarized element and those
Slovaks who are unfit but would like
to occupy all the jobs.
A decided sentiment for real local
autonomy is making itself felt. On
the whole, the government may not be
opposed to granting an Outspoken de.
mand for home rule in the province.
The peasants do not take much inter
est In theoretical politics. They COM
plain that the republic lasted only
three days. BY this they mean that
they were allowed to plumber the Jews
for only three days in the interval be.
tween the withdrawal of the Hungar-
ians and the arrival of the Czechs.
During this time the peasants had
a very free hand. There were very
few towns or villages where they did
not completely clean up the Jewish
population, who are the shopkeepers
and small traders, and at times les,
sors of estates. Now the peasants have
no longer the Jews to plumber their
interest in the new state has dimin
ished. They were kept in state of
illiteracy by the Hungarians and
therefore are by no means ripe for
real self-government. However, just
now they are very bitter because they
claim the Czechs take their food sup
plies away.
Bolshevism Not Popular.
!, Bolshevism has not taken great
grip on the peasantry. Slovakia is
largely an agricultural district and we
know farmers are always the most
conservative element. In the few In
dustrial communities In the more
mountainous north and east certain
amount Of unrest has developed. In
Kassav, far eastward, the large mills
are not working and the food situation
is very bad as 1t is in most of the in
dustrial districts. Here the workmen
hold meetings and growl in bolshevik
tone. Naturally Kassav is rather near
the Hungarian border. So that boil
shevism there would be natural. In
the other industrial districts the work.
men seem to have taken out their
class-consciousness In making big de-
mands upon their employers. Not un-
usual was 1t for workmen to come to
their employers and demand that they
receive percentage of all profits ac-
crued since the wars beginning. With
all this discomfort the food situation
is very much involved.
Generally speaking, Slovakia would
not be the first province to go up in
anarchic flames. For the time being
the bolshevik overturn In Hungaria
has had indeed rather quieting eff
feet on Slovakia. The wealthy or
well to do who were most attached
to their old fatherland now do not
relish the idea Of returning to a Hun
gary which will take all their property.

IDEAL farm LANDS
Minnesota Man at Last Found
What He Sought.
After Long Search, the Wondrous
Productiveness Of Western Canada
Was Pointed Out, and He
Is Going There.

He farmed for q number Of years
near Window, Minnesota, and as Mr..
0. S. Marcy told it, he had done well.
He had made sufficient money to see
him and his wife through their re-
naming days.
"But there were the boys" said Mrs.
Marcy, sand six of them, too-some OF
the six not yet back from overseas
Yes, we are proud of them," the fond
mother said, 'but, oh ! my, we had no

estimable lady, "but the land Is so
high-priced we couldn't afford to buy
there, although worth every cent
asked for it. You see we have six
boys, and they are good one. too"
So, one day, three years ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. Marcy rugged up the automobile
for touring trip. They wanted to In
vestigate for the boys benefit. The
journey lasted for a year. 1t took
them through Arizona with its varied
scenery, Its climatic and agricultural
attractions; into the canyons Of Colo
RADIO they went, and the agricultural
possibilities there aroused a large
amount of interest. Still undecided,
down into he valleys OF California the
automobile went. Fruit orchards were
plentiful, grain fields were attractive,
but the psychological time had not ar
rived. Reversing their way, they
passed through Washington, Oregon
and Montana and home. A years Jour-
ney and no results. "Oh, yes," Mr..
Marcy said, 1--WE had delightful time,
enjoyed it all but the day and night up
IN Colorado. when we were held up by
wonderful snowstorm; we and six
others. Planking the snow embank-
ment, we came through safely. If a

1t was interesting to hear these peo-
pie talk. Their practical minds showed
that they had not lacked opportunities
for observation. They could not find
what they wanted for the boys. When
he was between twenty and twenty
five years of age, Mr.. Marcy pictured
to himself the kind Of home he
wanted. He reared family Of boys
and had yet to find such place. His
years journey had been fruitless in
that respect.

Pressburg, Slovakia, Bohemia.
orally speaking, the situation in $40
vakia, formerly province of Hun
gary, now annexed to Czecho-Slovakia,
is not without ,disquieting features.
The honeymoon of the revolution has
passed and some of the establishments
bound to follow the introduction of a
new regime has set In. The Magyars
and the Magyarized elements have not
as yet been reconciled to the new re-
gime, and the peasants have recovered
from their first enthusiasm. A difficult
task Of reconciliation remains to be
performed by the Czechs.
The population Of Slovakia Is made
UP Of three elements-Slovak intelli-
gencia, which has always been very
strong for the union with. Bohemia
the Magyars and Magyarized Germans,
and the peasantry. The intelligencia
has been completely satisfied by the
Czecho- Slovak government. The adj
ministration has been handed over
completely to the very small number
of Slovak doctors, lawyers, authors
and professors that could be mustered
for service.
Maeyars Ignored.
Meanwhile the Magyars and Mag
Varied elements have been quite ig-
nored by the government except where

Washington, d. C.-Machine guns
end small arms produced by the mu-
lions, ammunition. turned out by the
billions Of rounds and tanks built by
thousands when the armistice ended
hostilities, furnish the subject of chap
tiers just made public of the war de-
partment's history Of the material"
side of winning the war.
In regard to machine gun production,
about which such a hot controversy
Iwaged in congress as a result of the
failure Of the American army to adopt
for standard general use the Lewis
weapon used successfully abroad, the
report says manufacturing facilities
for machine guns In this country were
much more limited in extent than the
public had any notion of when the
United States entered the war or to-
day, and that there were at the out
break of the war only two factories
which were actually preducing ma
chine guns in any quantity at all.
Dearth OF Aircraft Guns.
The report says there was great
dearth Of heavy machine guns for air
craft work, to be synchronized with
propellers. The Browning aircraft gun
would have met the requirements, but
1t would be long time before it could
be produced in quantity. In seeking
a stop gap weapon until the Browning
could be ready, the ordnance depart

almost accidental successes" some
times encountered, found that modi-
fed Marlin gun which could be quick
~ produced met all requirements.
The work Of the Brownipgs is de-
clared to have been spectacular as
compared with any existing weapons
of this character. Up to November IL
the production of Browning rifles was
62,23S, majority of which were in
France. In addition $4,000 Chauchat
guns had been purchased. so that
enough light automatic rifles were on
hand to supply 100 divisions, or an
army Of 100000 men. In the same
time 41,804 heavy Brownings and
enough vickers guns had been pro-
duced to make, with the Hotchkiss
weapons purchased from the French,
a total of .54,627 of this type, or
enough to equip 200 divisions, or an
army Of 100000.
Other production struggles described
include items varying In size from
trench knives to the Aston Mark VIII
tanks Of British design, OF which 1900
were being constructed In cooperation
with the British and 1,450 additional
wholly by American enterprise.
On November IL "a tanks of the
