MOVING PICTURES IMPROVE GIRLS!
 SAYS SCULPTOR

CHICAGO.-"Girls will be psy. chologically affected by moving pic tures," says Lodaro Taft, the sculp- tor. "They see beautiful women on the screen, then they go home and practice for hours before the mir TOT. The outcome? Graceful walk ing, pleasant faces, fine complex ions and vivacity. Still, the hoy denish and caper-cutting movie ac- tresses are a bad influence.
 In the opinion of Miss Indiana Gyberson, an Irish painter who has studied in Paris and Madrid, the movies have made American women more beautiful
 "Ah, the rising generation of Chi cago girls,55 she exclaimed. !'One sees a far, far larger number of charming women here now Let them talk of cabaret dancing and rich pastry running the attractive ness. It is the movies that are molding ever-fresh types of native beauty-new American types" l Yet she conceded that the screen plays wield an influence that will work either good or evil.
 Remember the recent avalanche of 'vamps' in Chicago?" she went on. "Girls who slinker-slouched when they walked, rolled their eyes alluringly and tried to look naughty? They were copying the movie queen of the moment. Now we're getting the athletic, vigorous, smiling girl in the films. It is good. AS De Maupassant said, All women are initiative as monkeys The speedy action of the films has made girls vivacious."
 4 prominent designer and import CT of women's gowns declared the films have had an important effect on the demand for certain styles, particularly gowns of simple, classic lines and intriguing fabrics" and a druggist reports the sale of cos metics has increased 9 percent since the movies became popular.

BITTER
 AGAINST NEW
 GERMAN ARMY

TN GERMANY.-The Wurttemburg government recently organized all the so-called reserve sicherheit com panies as home guards and the war ministry has turned them over to 1 the minister of the interior. Ac- cording to information in the hands of American army officers, this is in accordance with Noske's plan to demilitarize all home guard units so that the Allies will not dissolve these units under the terms of the peace treaty.
 Early this year, many sicherheits Icompanies were organized in Wurt- temburg from remnants of old army units, and have since been trans i ferred in the Reickswehr or new army. Later many reserve compa- nies were organized on lines differ ent from elsewhere in Germany, but on the same principle as the home guards or einwohnerwehr.
 German soldiers who recently pro- tested from Mitua, on the Eastern front, against the failure of the Lettish government to provide them land for settlement, in accordance with vague promises of such land to I all German soldiers who would help to repel the Bolsheviki, have issued another statement declaring that they have been shamefully deceived and reserve the right to take such further steps as may be decided upon.
 Bitter feeling by the population against the new German army con- tinues in various parts of Germany. trouble having been reported from time to time in towns and villages where troops were to be garrisoned. In most instances the civilians ob- Iject to the presence of the soldiers on the ground that they eat too much food
 An armored locomotive which is part of the equipment of some Reichswehr or new army units was sent from shop to shop in Centra! Germany recently because the work men refused to repair it, as they claimed it was a tool of .'Noske's $ Ebloodhounds" Men in the railroad shops at Goettingen and Cassel re- fused to work on the locomotive, as well as employees in private ma chine shops in several parts of the country. The last the American guards heard of the armored engine, lit was on sidetrack in Cassel while officers continued their search for workmen to make the necessary re- pairs.

sage follows:
'-fhe government and people of the
United States have been deeply
touched by the sentiments expressed
in your message, which gives still
further evidence of the warm friend
ship and close relations existing
between the two governments and,
their peoples. The loss of the young
soldiers of America on the field OF
battle in France in the fight against
autocracy and militarism has made
French soil sacred to American
families. and il is with the deepest
of sentiment that we learn of the
care the government of France pro-
poses to give to the graves Of these.
