HOW SECRETARY BAKER
 MAINTAINED THE H. C. L.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 28.- That Secretary of War Baker sought to prevent any reduction in the cost of living in the United States after the war, is established by the, records of the American Expeditionary Force which have been brought here from Europe by Representative Royal c. Johnson, of the committee investiga.- ing war expenditures.
 The evidence shows that last April Baker ordered the sale in Europe of a billion dollars worth of supplies, in- cluding foodstuffs, shoes, clothing, textiles and other necessities of life, and ordered that it be sold at a sac rifice in order that it might not be brought back to the United States.
 Pursuant to these orders, surplus commodities in France which had cost the government s1,426, ,00O,00 were sold to the French government for the sum of $400, 100000. It is recalled that Secretary Baker also prevented the sale of surplus supplies in this country amounting to $120,000, ,000 in value until compelled to do so by the action of the Republican House and Senate. He had directed the quarter master general to give written pledge to the American Gamers As sociation not to sell 20O,O00,0O0 cans of vegetables on the American market.

Included in the list of ap- praisals are gifts from various for eign dignitaries, souvenirs of the colonel's hunting expeditions, and var ious paintings, including one given to him by the late Pope Leo XIII.

BRITAIN'S NEW LINEN KING

The sale of 40 million yards of linen recently to l.. J. Martin, at fifty cents a yard affects seriously a great many interests. Mir. Martin himself ac- knowledges that it is corner in linen.
 The history of the British govern ment dealing in linen is an interest ing one. Linen and war previously had been associated only in the shape of bandages, but the development of the airplane changed all that. Not even after the war had gone on for some time did the authorities of any country realize that linen was an es- sential fabric in the turning out of efficient air machines. The Royal Fly ing Corps of the navy and army were the first to discover that linen was the best material for airplane wings and in 1915 the whole product of the Irish factories were commandeered. The demand grew enormously as air craft production expanded, and mil. lions of yards were called for, prac- tically unlimited orders going to Ire land, all weaving for other purposes being stopped. The result is that out side of Great Britain there is practi- cally no linen cloth at all. France and Italy are clamoring for it and Ger many presents a vast market. She has no linen.
 Last year the government took the further step of buying up, for 60 mill lion dollars, the whole Irish crop of flax, the acreage of which had been greatly extended, as no flax was com ing from Russia. This price worked out at about $200 per acre, whereas, the normal figure was $11. The Brit ish government, in fact, had monOp- oly of the worlds flax, for Russia, having gone Bolshevist, did not count It also spent more than 71a million dollars on trying to cultivate flax in Yorkshire, but the experiment was not a success.
 Mir. Martin is now in possession or the whole woven output of the Irish mills and stuffs produced elsewhere. It was made to certain specifications, and is probably the strongest fabric made, capable, if taken from the loom and used as cable, of holding up a battleship. It is unbleached, but can be used for dresses, sheets, table linen and underclothes, and is more enduring than cotton.
 If Mir. Martin sells his holdings at even seventy-five cents yard he will make gross profit of 10 million dol lars. What the cloth has cost the government is not known. A Belfast manufacturer put it at nearly $1 per yard at the very lowest estimate.
 Belfast linen makers will be seri- ously affected by this deal. Till Mir. Martin has disposed of it they will probably have to shut down their big mills. He makes no effort to disguise the fact that he can undersell them in any market. It will also prove dis astrous to the cotton trade, for the finer grades of fabric can not be had owing to the present price of cotton.

IF SHE BUT KNEW

If our old COW could only know
 What butter costs per pound, What proud disdain her face d show When came loafng 'round! If she could only know the cost
 Of one small pint of cream, How smartly would her head be tossed In vanity supreme. If she could only know the price
 Of leather we must wear, No beauty balm would be too nice
 For her complexion rare! She might claim courtesy complete From all who came to view, And have us kneeling at her feet If our old COW but knew!

FIND HEALTH IN PENITENTIARY

The secret of longevity has been solved. All you have to do to live to a ripe old age is to get into some trouble that will keep you in the Ohio state penitentiary, and all your wor- ries about living long will be over.
 At least, that is the way Dr. o. M. Kramer, physician at the prison points out. Dr. Kramer lays claim to the fact that the penitentiary is the most healthful spot in all Ohio, with a pop ulation of two thousand men of all ages. The deaths in five years from natural causes have not averaged more than three year. The normal death rate of Ohio is nearly fourteen for each thousand of population.

Modified AIsatian. Bow.

No designer is exactly true to his
tory, however, and it is possible that
the windmill bow will be left to the
individualists who wish to call at
tention TO themselves. They, the
milliners. will content themselves
with q modified arrangement of rib
bon or cloth that suggests the tre-
mendous truth that Frances lost
twins have come back to her arms.
A suggestion is at times far more
subtle than an actual presentation,
and the swiriing bow, cut in various
shapes, without an attempt to be
true to the original, is sufficient to
the day.
The miiliners are not content to
confine this bow to ribbon. They use
metallic cloth, straw, taffeta and
folded satin. They make sure that
the ends of the bow are aggressive; i;
that they are cut on sharp lines and
hing themselves out into various
angles: otherwise they would be
commonplace and unacceptable. One
of the first tricks of an amateur, as
you know, is to pin a bow of ribbon
on a hat and consider it a bit of trim
that the formation of Il bow is the
most difficult achievement in milli-
merry, and, therefore, women who
would adopt the Alsatian bow or any
of it's many manifestations had far
better turn the job over to one whose
fingers are skilled and well trained.

ribbon trimmed hats in smart French
places, and there are many who think
that this fashion presents a hundred
