Musicians Played 8
 Big Part in War

Hundreds of musicians in America threw down their bow and their baton to enter the war. To some the idea of the emotional musical engaged in the brutal uncomfortable business of fighting was just bit ludicrous. To those who knew the patriotic fervor and adaptability of these inspired music markehs, there was more than a little anxiety for the future of our warrior musicians. How would the delicate mechanism of their psycho- logy be affected by an activity so far from their normal desires?
 Some musicians, like David Hoch- stein, the young violinist who lost his life in the Argome, will return no more. But, unassuming, numbers of them have taken their places again in the ranks of players. One may hear them in the theatre orchestra, or in the cabaret jazz band, content to re- turn to the humdrum of the life in which they had their little place be- fore our entrance in the war. It may be bit stale to them now. But the re- action will soon set in, has already come to many who lost the first rest less craving for excitement that they felt on their return from the front.
 Percy Grainger, Australian pianist, has left Fort Hamilton and returned to his old job of composing and con- certising. Irving Berlin, king of popular music, has stopped inspiring the soldier, and has set his brilliant talents to inspiring the soldier in civil olian life. Albert Spaulding, one of the greatest of Americas violinists, is on his way home from the front. His old job of fiddling and making the world safe for culture is waiting for him, and he will take it gladly. Pianisas, tenors, trombonists are all slipping back into the old paths and are glad to be there.

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN.

Little Rock, Ark, July 5.-The first comprehensive report on the employ ment of women in Arkansas is being copied by Tom A. Wilson, state labor commissioner, assisted by five young women, expert Investigators, from the federal bureau at Washington.

 Aside from it's value as an infor- mation document, the report, it is de- clared, will furnish the basis for future activities of the minimum wage and maximum hours commission in the regulation of the employment of women and children, in which it has wide powers under the minimum wage laws of Arkansas.

 The fur auctions, recently resumed after suspension because of the war, have developed very high prices for skins, white fox selling up to $9O, S4 and fisher S35O. Former prices were white for S1, musuuash eieht cents and fisher S5. These prices, the trade warns, are for the raw skins, and will be considerably after they have been made up into garments, because of the in- creased cost of skilled labor.

TOO PROUD TO BEG.

Correspondence of Associated Press
 Bucharest, June 2.-Rer Cross field workers here have noticed that one of the most striking traits in the Ruman- ian people is their sense of pride. With all the misery and poverty of the poor, they never beg. They are al- ways content with what the Americans give them.
 At the distribution centers there is never complaint, protest of clamor. The Rumanians are always grateful for what they get, however little it may be. Probably no people on earth endure hunger and suffering with more resignation and patience.

Thrift is threefold- buying, sane saving and secure investment. The man who starves that he may save is not thrifty; he is foolhardy; for he destroyed his capacity to earn and hence to save. The thrifty man spends wisely and therefore increases his capacity to earn-and save. Spend wisely, save inteligently and put your savings into thrift stamps and ". s. s.

Without attempting to doubt, we are tempted to suggest Africa, Arabia, or perchance Turkey, as its starting place, just the same. But whatever it's origin, behold this, one of the oldest of odd new hat connections, designed by a Paris milliner-artist Further more, England lends its support. London critics affirm that turban effects in hats have come to stay that this is no sport" botan- ically speaking, but is a real style. As for color, almost any shade of ribbon may be used.

FEW OPPONENTS
 IN THIS DAY OF
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Gov. Pleasant of Louisiana Gets Gentle Rebuke from Gov.
 BrOugh.
(By Clio Harper.)

l To say that great men differ is 1 not to announce new discovery. It , has been true since the time that
 antediluvian savants disagreed with ] Noah about the Jimminence of flood
 But that great men in this enlighted
 day should disagree about so well
 established a fact as woman suffrage , is passing strange. To be sure, only in fact, the Southern law-maker who advocated woman suffrage was | marked for good-natured raillery and political defeat if he persisted in the horesy.
 But all that is changed now. The fad of yesterday has become the poli-
 tical shibboleth of today. So strong
 has it become, that legislators are
 falling over themselves to hold extra
 sessions for the ratification of the
 Susan B. Anthony amendment. Ar
 kansas as is the latest to join the
 procession.
 But Arkansas had already made
 a start, having adopted primary suf-
 frage in 1917. In his speech in Pine
 Bluff Saturday night, w. J. Bryan said that Arkansas is one of the most progressive states of the south, hav- ing led them all in suffrage, prohibit tion, and the initiative and referen- dunn, the three great reforms of re- cent years.
 But there are still some folks who are opposed to granting suffrage to the women. Three or four members of the Arkansas legislature admitted their opposition when poll was taken of them last week. Even Governor Pleasant of Baton Rouge, Louisiana --one of the recalcitrant prohibition states, by the way,-even Governor Pleasant interceded with Governor Brough not to include suffrage in the call for an extra session. And all the l time suffrage was the only excuse for calling it at all! Governor Brough, | however, did not give him much satis- faction. as may be seen from the fol- lowing:
 "AdmirinG as I do your cultured and patriotism, I deeply re- @ret that I cannot agree with you in vour opinion as to the effect of ratification of national suffrage. II dc not apprehend danger YOU suggest as result of women's suffrage ratifi- cation bv southern states. Arkansas is heartily in favor of ratification. Early special session of general as semblv will be called to ratify this and I believe good re- suits will follow"
 It is believed that Little Rock has 'ase that is unoue in this country. It is reported that citizen took act recently. and scheduled lmong his liabilities his federal in- ome tax for about S2 800. Ordinarily, t would be considered that bank 'upt would have no income tax to pay, ! md this may be lesson to the gov to collect the tax before the f ax-payer loses his money. There are I ncome tax, but taxpayer having C O borrow money to pay his income aX, but this pre-supposed the posses g ion of uniacumbered collateral. I

Lace and net party frocks are in the highest favor for summer formal festivals and balls. Some times the lace wells an under blouse of lowered georgette. Two-toned satin ribbon and me- tallic braids and ribbons add to the general glory-but lace is the favorite. This filmy frock is of white, chantilly over flesh-cover- ed chiffon.
