San Francisco, Ca1.-Weeping softly
and wearing deep mourning, an attrac-
tive woman operated successfully a
new confidence game, making a firm
of undertakes her victims, and after
paying for a $3.50 funeral for dead
relative with a worthless check for

Mrs" Davis entered the establish

all Of it, keep at least part of 1t. You
can reduce it if you have to.
You can convert to a government en-
dowment policy which will assure
financial comfort in later years.
All policies issued by the govern

making them payable at any time you
may become totally and permanently

A service man. after his return to

Cash and Loan Values.
After one year the new government

you can borrow money on your policy
up to "a per cent of the cash value.
"Paid-up insurance and extended

the new policies, IL you stop paying
premiums after one year, the govern
ment allows one of the following OPP

1t provides for the disability OF the

not have to pay any more premiums,
but the government pays you the full
monthly sum called for by your policy
every month, no matter how long you

Lace Frocks in
Favor in Paris

Deauville. Aix-lesrBains and Monte
Carlo are principal points Of interest
on the fashion program. Paris. which
is to say all of fashionable Paris. has
betaken itself to the smart resorts in
France, so 1t is necessary to follow
closely, asserts a prominent New York
fashion writer, If one is to keep in
touch with the latest developments
In dress.
Always on the alert, Paris travelled
to the races, but many of the best peO-
pie were absent and the. midinettes
failed the dressmakers at the last mo-
ment, so that there were fewer new
frocks than had been expected. Hap
PLY most of the troubles are over and
the best houses have promised inter-
esting and important changes. How
ever, we are left to guess what, the
changes are to be, though a few Of
the models give some important clews
and the assurance that whatever the
changes may be one may be certain
that they will be interesting.
The elegance Of the pre-war tol-
lettes is repeatedly smentioned and
there is every indication that even
tually the more elaborate manner of
dressing will return. Lace, which has
long since been discarded, is consid-
cred one Of the most important mate
rails for afternoon wear.
Many and conflicting were the COM
ments ON its use at the races, but in
spite Of adverse opinion it was noted
that as the days passed by and the
makers had an opportunity of show
ing new models the lace dresses In
creased I'm numbers.
An aIl-lace frock was contemptu-
ously referred to as lace curtain,
but nevertheless the dress was re-
peated later by other women.
The widely diverging views In re-
gard to the use Of lace are to be ex-
pected. for there is no more difficult

moment cast startled eyes about, seek
ing the near victim. Then they laughed,
and 1t was the kind Of laugh one de-
lights to hear.
There was a softened note, tender
touching note to It. For the moment
those people-an types and classes
were represented-forgot the heat of
the city, forgot their business, their
everyday cares and were essentially
human. -
And the reason-a foolish, trifiing.
Insignificant reason 1t was, too. Only
a kitten, tiny, tawny creature meas
uring not more than eight inches from
nosetip to tail, was slowly, and quite
leisurely picking it's way diagonally
from one side Of the street TO the
other.
So small 1t was that 1t must leap,
rather than step over each car rail.
So small that. it could not essay the
curbing of it's own effort when it
reached there. ....,..
A richly gowned woman gave it aid.
In another moment woman, kitty, cars
and people had moved on.

the mission did what was possible I'M
der the circumstances, but they, too,
were stricken, and when the epidemic
had passed its course only eight chill
dren, five women and one man of the
native population Of 100 were living.
Mad Dogs Eat Human Flesh.
At the outbreak the dead were
buried almost as soon as they passed
away, but when the entire settlement
became Ill, the victims were left where
they died, those who hac recovered in
the meantime being too weak to lay
them under the ground. Households
who had succumbed one by one were
left unb1ried, and the dogs, who were
unable to procure food because the
hunters had been all i'll, became mad
and entered the cabins, consuming the
flesh from the bodies OF the dead.
When it became known that the cpl
demic was raging, some outside assist
ance arrived, and an effort was made
to give the dead Christian burial. The
dogs, however, after consuming the
human flesh, became wild, and 1t was
impossible to undertake putting the
corpses In the frozen ground. The
next best thing was to bury the corpses
at sea-. Before even this could be at
tempted the few remaining at Hebron
were compelled to shoot the dogs. as
even the living were not safe from
them. +--.--
While this horror of death and suf-
lfering was going on at Hebron, a like
epidemic was raging at Okak. The
Eskimos, as In Hebron, huddled to-
gether in their small huts, quickly be-
came affected. until the whole popula-
ton was either stricken or dead. The
daily death rate was appalling, whole
families dying within few hours. The
mission all the while was unceasing in
it's work for the afflicted, but they also
fell victims to the disease, which
meant that the Eskimos were left help
less. When the new yeer dawned only
a few emaciated Eskimos were found
to be alive. 49,. +
Mode Of Living Is Fatal.
Mr.. Perrett said that when the EsIsi-
mos were stricken, their mode of lfv-
ing and environment was against their
surviving. AS soon as the illness fell
upon them they were obliged to take
shelter in the small, stuffy huts, where
there was neither fresh air nor sun
shine. and here they remained until
they died.

Washington.-A busy place these
days of rehabilitation is the bureau of
war risk insurance OF the treasury de-
partment of the United States, with it's
$4,000 employees and it's files contain
Ing 100000 records.
Decentralization is having the effect
OF making large, proportion of the
soldiers become transient for an in
definite period after leaving the serv-
ice. Many of the original addresses of
these men become useless, as thou
sands forget to leave forwarding adj
dresses and neglect to write to the bu-
reau- In this way many men are los
ing touch with the bureau and are
neglecting their insurance. Hence the
efforts of the bureau to keep in touch
with demobilized men are increasingly
difficult, as rehabilitation progresses.

including the Red Cross and public or
