This stuff they label fashion is
queer bird.
Ladies are now carrying billygoats
around as pets. A Wilhelmgoat is
just as good as extract of violets and
don't have to bother about pulling
the CORK out.
A billiamgoat makes a fine four
legged lorgnette. Sweet cookies! You
can't tell what the trails are going
to do next. They wrap steam radia-
tors around their necks in summer
and rattle around in blizzards with
nothing on but a couple of red heels
and three or four yards of talcum
powder. And they're entitled TO vote.
This billygoat business is only the
start of the zoo junk. When the
shrills start wearing porcupines for
sofa cushions, that's when the con-
mittee Will award 'em the brown
derby
They'll be using zebras for English
tea tables and throwing soprano frs
because they won't be able to teach
sirahes to canter under Fords like
carriage dogs. Wow!
! That last one may sound kerfooI-
/ ish, but you can't tell what a girl Will

stylish in chin the works.

In the Baltimore meet the open

of schoolboys here. One month later
three or four schools are expecting to
be represented at PENIS great relay
carnival on Franklin Field
Central, Technical, and Western

angular meets. Technical. Western.

uled to meet in a triangular affair at

on, as the South Atlantic schoolboy
classic. Tome School, OF Port Deposit,
Nd, offers its annual meet on May
II. On the same date the schools
here will hold their annual inter
high school meet which will be held
in conjunction with the freshman
games.

success. although no definite figures will

development was the inquiry for the new

which realized the extent that addi-
tional exports depend on successful flo
tation of foreign loans. There was said
to be fair chance of a big French
Government offering before the close of
1919, but apart from a general CONVEX
sation between J. +. Morgan, who Is

there has been no discussion of such a

securities based on loans to smaller
countries. an anticipation also dependent
on the present Offering Despite neces-
sity Of wide distribution of the British
bonds and probability that average sub
scription will be smaller than that In
the case Of previous loans. results known
up to last night were gratifying and
encouraged the belief that the offering
would go over with a whoop.
