"H's Time l Thought of My
NeW ClOthes!' Says Miss
PhiIadeLphid

It's growing a little late for Summer clothes; last

Some Smart NeU Winter Dresses
Serge dresses to wear to school or to business, to wear on the
street without a coat during the Fall, and under a coat all through
the Winter. Blue serge is best liked, many dresses are en-
broidered, skirts are in tunic effect, peated and gathered, buttons
appear in whole rows, sashes ire high in fashion and there are
so many becoming dresses it would be IN unusual girl who couldn't
find ne or more to suit her. $3.50 to $775O.
Tricoette dresses are extremely fashionable, come in deep
blue, taupe, brown or black, and go all the way from $6S.5O to
$15.
Satin and silk dresses are needed for afternoon and dress
occasions, and come in numbers of fetching new models. $3.50
to $3.50.
The NeW Winter Suits Are of
Many Kinds
Practical, simply tailored or handsome with braiding.
There ire roughish tweeds and sports suits, soft velour and
duvetyne suits, broadcloths and any number of the novelty wool
fabrics that are the fashion. Coats are longer, Innings are
plain and fancy, good tailoring distinguishes all our suits, and
there are cOlOrs enough to please everybody. Styles ire diff
ferent too-there are many models that you'll find nowhere else
in town. $40 to $5.
Warm Winter Goats Are Necessities
if one would make preparations for the coming Winter. Simple,

fully lined.
There are coats for all occasions, from sports wear to eve
ming use, there are light and dark colors, and prices to suit all

Fine Safe EndmeLWare in the
Housefurnishing Sale at
Special Prices

There are a great many kinds of enamelware in the market
that is, metal ware covered over with a glazed enamel. The
glazing is really glass and glass is one of the most brittle sub
stances known.
1t is a very nice operation to put enamel on metal with just
the right temperature and at just the right composition SO that
the glazed enamel and the metal will expand evenly together.
When this is not accomplished perfectly the ware is marked at a
lower price and from this sort of enamelware fine particles Of
glass may find their way into the food.
For this reason it is a dangerous business to buy any sort
of cheap enamelware.
In our Housefurnshng Store we never permit enamelwaro
except such as is tested for it's qualities of heat endurance and also
tested as to its chemical composition
Good enamelware costs more at the outstart than cheap, Inn
perfect enamelware, but like many other standard things, 1t Is
less expensive in the long run.
In the Housefurnishing Sale there are several Thousand
articles Of good, practical gray enamelware at reflections u ~

DEATH MESSAGE
JOHN SWEENEY OF SIOUX FALLS
MAY SUE TELEGRAPH
COMPANY.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 9.-The United
States government may be made de-
fendant in an action brought by John
Sweeney, of Sioux Falls, for the fail
ure of telegraph company under
the control of Postmaster General
Burleson to deliver a message an
nouncing the death of his son in San
Francisco.
James Edward Sweeney died De-
cember 81 in naval training hos
pital at San Francisco and telegram
was sent to his father asking him
what burial ARA ngements he wished
made. The telegram, so Sweeney
says. was not delivered to him and
the boy was buried in San Francis
co cemetery. A week later Mr.. Swee-
ney received the first intimation OF
the boys death. He at once got into
communication with the hospital au-
thorities, who informed him his son
had been hurled there. Mr.. Sweeney
then sent a request to have the body
exhumed and sent to Sioux Falls, but
has received no further reply.

death.
The great powder mills of the Du
Points, which provided sinews of war.
are being dismantled. Forty thousand
inhabitants of the town have begun
an exodus. In few months the corn
fields from which the town sprang
will be restored. Only stories of the
great fires of unbelievable vice and
pistol duels will survive.

der company built $75.O00,O00 pow

fire once, it was rebuilt. Cornfields
sold for $4,000 an acre. Dance halls,
gambling rooms and saloons brought
desperate men into the town. Re-
volvers were part of every mans

prevailed. And now the inhabitants
are scattering to the four corners Of

TO CROSS ATLANTIC
AirpIane Manufacturers Make
Long-Distance Machines.
Tempted by Big Prizes Offered by
Newspapers and Aviation
Clubs.

Paris.-Airplane manufacturers are
losing no time in developing long-dis-
tance machines for transatlantic
flights for which tempting prizes have
been offered by various newspapers
and aviation clubs.
The rumors persist in Paris that a
Handley-Page machine has already
crossed the ocean, from Newfoundland
to Ireland, but that the flight was
kept secret in order that the Germans
might not know that a machine had
been produced which could bomb Ber-
lin. The allies had secret informa-
tion that the enemy felt perfectly Sc
cure about the inability of airplanes
to fly that far into the fatherland and
get back and had practically no anti
aircraft batteries posted to protect his
capital. 1t was realized that once it
became known a plane had crossed
the Atlantic the Boche would take the
tip and strengthen his defenses at
Berlin.
Farman has constructed quadru-
pie motor biplane equipped with four
propellers and driven by engines gen.
Grating. more than 1000 horsepower,
which he believes can negotiate the
transatlantic flight. This machine will
have an average speed of 40 miles
an hour and can carry gasoline and oil
for 36 hours. The body of the ma
chine extends the whole length of the
fuselage, from the nose to the tail
piece and the crew can walk up and
down through the passageway. Null
tiple wheels make landings easier
and safer.
Bleriot has also constructed a BIZ
motor machine, with two tractor and
two pusher propelIers, which he be-
lieves can fly 1000 miles without a
stop. The Bleriot machine is a BIZ
plane, but the lower wings are much
smaller than the upper, along the
lines of the Nieuport chasse model.
The Bleriot plane is expected to main
tain a speed of $50 miles an hour for
"a hours.

HONoRED BY FRENCH.
Yankee Doctor Wins Commission
as Captain.
Highest Ranked American Citizen In
French Army During
War.

Paris.-The highestranked Ameri-
can citizen in the French army dur
ing the present war is DIR. Henry Mi
chel of Augusta, Ga, who earned a
captains commission in the service
of our ally before transferring over
to the United States army.
Doctor Michel came to France at
the beginning of the war and volun-
teered in the French army. Owing to
the crying need for surgeons. he was
at once commissioned as q second
lieutenant and assigned at a base hos
pital. His hard work and ability won
him promotion to a first lieutenancy
after the Verdun offensive In the first
half of 1916 when he was stationed
at Troyes, the great evacuation cen
ter for the French wounded.
Afterward Doctor Michel was trans
ferred to Lyons and was placed in
command of military hospital there
and promoted to captain. The For
eign Legion has its base depot at
Lyons and Doctor Michel knew al
most all of the Americans enlisted in
that unit. He was also great friend
of United States Consul Jones at
Lyons.
A year ago Doctor Michel offered
his services to the A. e. +. and was
sent to American Red Cross hospital
No. ] at Neuilly, the former American
ambulance He is also surgeon In
chief of the American hospital for
civilians i'm Neuilly.
Only few other Americans have
ever received commissions i'm the
French army, and they were all Sec
Ond lieutenants with the exception of
William Thaw of the Lafayette Es-
cadrille, and Sweeny of the Foreign
Legion and later of the tank corps,
who were first lieutenants. The avia-
tor pilots of the Lafayette Escadrille
were only sergeants, with the excep-
tion Of Dudley Hill, an adjutant Luf
berry was only second lieutenant.

PANCAKES IN OSTEND
Correspondents Get First Made
There in Four Years.
Hotel Manager Tells Of sufferinus At
the Hands OF the Ger
mans.

American Press Headquarters, Brit
ish Front.-The first pancakes made
In Ostend i'm four years were served
the other day at the Crown hotel. But
the American correspondents got them
under false pretenses.
They had had very good lunch of
vegetable soup, roast beef, Drowned
potatoes and peas.
"What have you for dessert?" was
asked the exceedingly attentive walt
ress. Her face fell. "There is moth
ing, messieurs," she said plaintively.
mo fruit, no sweet"
In moment she was back with the
manager, who had been lowering near
the door.
''The manager and the chef will be
happy to make you pancakes" she an
nounced delightedly. 1--WE got some
milk and -four from the British ships
today, and are able to make pancakes
for the first time in four years." Then
she added solemnly: "The manager
and the chef will do 1t. because you
are English"
Whoever cooked the pancakes had
lost no mastery of the art I'm four
yeaIs. The American correspondents
were served four pancake master
pieces each sprinkled with sugar.
They were so good that we had no
qualms later when we were told that
the roast beef of Ostend was really
roast horse.
The Crown hotel, Ostend's finest,
had suffered at the hands of the Ger
mans. The manager showed US
through two floors, pointing out where
wall ornaments. chandeliers and ev.
erything of copper had been torn of.
All wool had been plucked from the
mattresses. Nine thousand bottles OF
wine had been carted away. But the
hotel had receipts for everything
stolen!
Nor was this all. The hotel was
set apart for German officers. and II
had been a great trial to endure the
tyrannical mood of most of them.

GLAD COLONIES ARE FREED
Native Chiefs In Former German Pos
sessions Hope They Will Remain
Under British Rule.

London.-German cruelty exercised
toward the natives of her former col
onies is outlined In the statements OF
native chiefs in the Samoan islands,
the Kameruns, Togoland, Southwest
Africa, and East Africa, In white
book published by the colonial office.
The statements show that the natives
everywhere hope to remain under Brit
ssh rule.
In few cases the chiefs said they
were afraid to say anything lest their
land be restored to the Germans, who
had threatened them with what they
would do when the war was over. This
fear, however, failed to prevent . vir-
tually unanimous appeal for retention
of the British flag.
The horrors of the German rule In
Southwest Africa, the white book says,
already are too well known to require
repetition, but the same system OF
tyranny was found In other German
colonies In greater or less degree.
The burden running through all the
statements Of the natives Of Tog0land
and the Kameruns is 'sfogging, hog-
ging, logging" especially In connec-
tion with forced labor on plantations.

Ignores State Rate Changes.

Washington, Jan. S.-Attempts by
state authorities to change intrastate
railroad rates ordered by the railroad
administration will be ignored, Direc.
tor General W. G. McAdoo declared in
statement. Such division of au-
thority would defeat the purpose OF
the federal control law, the director
general said. The law, Director Nc
Adoo holds, intends that during fed
eral control rates may be initiated to
apply both to interstate and intra.
state traffic.

COL. ROOSEVELT
LAID TO REST
THE GREATEST AMERICAN
BURIED YESTERDAY IN
SIMPLE FORM.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Jan 9.-The
body of Theodore Roosevelt was laid
at rest yesterday. 1t was committed
to earth at 1:43 p. m, in a family
cemetery plot overlooking Long ISL
and sound.
The church service, beginning at
12: SIS o'clock, was concluded in Is
minutes. The Episcopal ritual was
followed, and the only mention of the
eX-president's name was when the
rector spoke the word Theodore" in
the final prayer.
The casket was borne to the altar
rail by porters. Draped in an Amer
lean flag, it was covered also with
two battle flags of the rough riders
regiment. upon which rested a large
wreath of acacias tied with the yel-
low ribbon of the cavalry. These
flowers, the only tribute near the cas-
ket, were from the colonel's COM
rades of the famous unit of Spanish
American war days.
The casket was not opened at the
church.
The final services were witnessed
by members of the family and few
friends, the congressional delegation
and a group of 200 neighbors, among
them many school children, who had
assembled at the grave while the
church service was in progress.
AS the outdoor congregation recit-
ed the Lords prayer, it was noted
that Capt Archibald Roosevelt stood
directly behind the clergyman at the
head of the grave, while to the left
and quite alone, was former Presi-
dent Taft, the colonel's life long
friend.
Other members of the family stood
a few PAGES back from Capt. Roose-
welt, while the congressman and peo-
pie of Oyster Bay were assembled di-
rectly behind delegation of rough
riders at the foot of the grave.
The former president rested with
his head toward the west, where the
sun, dropping toward the horizon
brought out in striking silhouette the
white robed figure of the priest re-
citing the time honored committal OF
the Episcopal church. AS the last
words were spoken a flock of white
birds were seen to alight on the
frozen surface of the cove which the
snow capped eminence of the ceme-
terry overlooks. Only the rough rid
ers' floral tribute relieved the plain
ness of the casket as it was lowered
to its final resting place. The battle
flags were taken back to the trophy
room at Sycamore Hill, where the
colonels family will prize them as he
had since their presentation as me-

After fleeing from Spring City the boy
