Washi1gton.-An interesting COM
parison between the systems or war
Savings stamps in Great Britain ana
America is made by the savings diVl-
sion of the United States treasury.
England had been selling War Saw
ings certificates for more than year
before this attractive form OF invest
ment was offered to the people of the
United States. This country has had
the advantage of the Britons' expert
ence in this field, and while the two
savings stamps are alike i'll most re-
spects, there are few interesting dit
fe.ences.
The British War Savings stamp is
dated when purchased and is due ex-
actly five years from that date. This
enables them to sell the certificates al
WAYS for the same-15s. I'd. ($3.So).
The American War Savings stamps
are issued in annual series, and each
series has a uniform date of issuance
and of maturity. The present rate is
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1919-03-21
WAR STAMP Is
BRITISH IDEA

kept uniform by increasing the pur-
chase price one cent each month. This
means that all of tks 1919 War Savings
stamps will mature in January, 1924,
while in three or four years British
War Savings stamps will begin coming
up for redemption in varying amounts
each day.
The British System.
The British have devolved the sys-
TEN of purchasing the regular sixpence
postage stamps, which are pasted on
card until 81 are obtained Then the
card is exchanged for a War Savings
certificate. Americans, on the other
hand, can purchase a 25-cent Thrift
stamp, and thus gradually accumulate
the required 16 stamps necessary to
purchase a War Savings stamp, add
Ing, of course, the necessary amount
according to the month, namely, u
cents for January or % cents for De-
cember
War Savings societies, or aSsocia-
tions as the British term them, are
very numerous in the British Isles
Each person affiliated with the associ-
alton contributes either a fixed sum or
any amount he can at regular inter
walls, say, each week. Whenever the
secretary finds los. Cd. or more in the
treasury he Immediately purchases one
or more War Savings certificates for
his society, so that the certificates be-
gin to draw interest. AS soon as Il
number of persons have completed
their payments it is customary to draw
lots for the advantage of the earliest
dated certificates in the association
treasury. Thus, the lucky person may
obtain a certificate which has been
accommodating interest for weeks pos
s;bly, while the last stamp drawn will,
Of course, be only a few days old.
Exempt From Taxation.
Both British Savings certificates and
american War Savings stamps are ex-
,enpt from taxation, and for this and
other reasons there is a limitation to
the amount that may be held by one
individual. In the early war days in
England persons with income exceed
ing $1,000 were not permitted to buy
Savings stamps. This condition was
later changed so that anyone may hold
Savings certificates up to about So. 50e
maturity value. Ia the United
States one Individual may not hol
re than $1,000 of any enc series. Ii,
both countries there is no limitation
preventing each member uf Il famiI
ssso,u Luluins the prescribed limit.

A school dress, for a girl anywhere
from twelve to seventeen, shown in the
picture above is combination of Il
plain color with white in yoke, but
tons and simulated button holes. The
styles for girls of this age--the FLAP

to plain skirts and overgarments more
or less like the MILDLY or sweater coat.

cred a fad of the season and d very
pretty means of simple ornamenting

school and play. With the service

The advent of Lent finds mothers
aeyoting their time to spring Quitting
for the children in addition to their
own, which is more difficult matter.
But the quiet of Lent allows time to
consider things. Spring has already
been heralded, for weeks, in the shop,
by displays of children's frocks made
of wash fabrics, for school and other
wear. Nothing startlingly new in fab
rics has distracted attention from our
old-time favorites for children's wear,
but the season is distinguished by the
unexcelled excellence in design of the
new garments for the younger genera
ton and by attractive and refined col
orings in the materials used for max
Ing them.
Plaid and plain ginghams and cham
brays still lead in the practical pro-
cession of cotton goods. followed by
percales, poplins and other heavy
weaves. 1t is satisfaction to be told

There are negligees and negligees ;
some of them elaborate and filmy af-
fairs of chiffon or crepe and lace, that
float about the figure in lovely color
tints. Many are made of thin silks or
crepe de chine, others of sheer cottons.
But the story of the variety of fabrics
USED is short when compared to the
story of variety in design. We can
spend our hours of ease iR clothes from
far Japan or China or India. or In
garments adapted from these oriental
sources. Or we can look to various
periods in French or other history for
inspirations and go as far as we like
in adaptations of them. 1t is in negii-
gees that we are fancy free,
Among the prettiest and most prac-
teal styles are those in which the
negligee is in one piece and made of
taffeta silk in light colors. Lace or
net, and often both, are used with this
crisp, shimmerlng silk, and ribbons are
a matter of course on all negligees.
Each of these contributes its share
toward making the quaint and youthful
garment with easy, flowing lines, pic
tured here. 1t looks like an ample
coat over long skirt, but is all in one
piece. A founce of lace headed with
cording accounts for the coat effect,
aided by two patch pockets with
tlnunces across the top Lace Is gath
cred about the bottom OF the robe ane
finishes The very full. flowing sleeves
hat are cut three-quarters length. Il

SEEING ROME
FROM DIRTGIBLF

By means Of a portable staircase on
wheels we climbed into the swinging
basket Of the dirigible and took places
where we could find them around the
three gasoline engines, 12-cylinder
flats, each attached to a separate pro.
peller.
Carries Crew of Seven.
Leather coats lined with sheepskin
were distributed, although the weather
on the ground was springlike. Seven
ltalian army men composed the crew
OF the ship. The officers used mega.
phones at times to shout orders to the
crew and to communicate with the
small army of soldiers that held the
guide ropes ON the ground.
Inc final sand bags were thrown
from pile on deck and the ship start
ed ascending without a tremor. I'm
less one looked at the ground the
sensation of moving was not notice
able.
watched for few moments the
manner in which a gas engine man
tuned up one of the three motors
aboard, and was startled a few seconds
later to find that we had moved sky.
ward about 500 feet.
The hundred odd helpers on the
ground had already been dwarfed into
mere pygmies. The Roman campagna
with the mountains in the distance,
was unfolding into vast panorama.
We continued to ascend to more than
1000 feet, moving all the time with
increased speed toward the city of
Rome, ten miles away.
Panorama of Rome.
AT speed of 40 to so miles ALI l4cuI
we sped over farmhouses and ruins
of the Appian way toward the city.
Within five minutes the miles of arched
stone aqueducts that stretch from
Rome to the mountains had been
passed and we were in the outskirts
of the town with the River Tiber Just
ahead threading the solidly packed
rows of houses like a dull blue ribbon.
They tell you in Rome that the most
satisfactory view of the wrecked Coli
scum, where the Caesars used to muir
der Christians by the hundred and
where the gladitorial combats of the
old days were held, may be had by
moonlight.
However, much better idea of the
Coliseum and its size can be obtained
by viewing it from the air. From
1000 to 1900 feet above earth you can
get 4 better estimate of its size, and as
you float by you have to scrutinize
closely to notice the damage time has
brought to walls and arena.
Near the Coliseum the other ruins
are less distinguishable. They are too
small to stand out in the panorama.
The palace of Augustus is q mere pile
of bricks. The world-famous Palatine
hill near by is to all appearances an
irregular strip OF brick-strewn mead
owland and loses all of the grandeur
that the fanciful tourist, on foot among
the ruins, is able to reconstruct from
his imagination.

is the logical neck finish. Narrow rib
bon in rosette with ends Is posed at
the top OF the front fastening and
forms Il loose sash with bow ana ends
at the front that is tackled about the
waist.
Taffeta coats, about as long as a
mandarin coat, worn over lacy petit
coats are beautiful, and to be recon-
mended, especially for morning wear.
They are often trimmed with cord COW
cred with taffeta.. This order is re-
yersed in negligees having silk petit
coats of taffeta or crepe de chine. with
little coats of net or silk, trimmed with
narrow lace frills, over them.
The Pulaskian. (Pulaski Heights [Little Rock], Ark.) 1915-1929, 1919-03-21


On the other hand. the Quirinal pal
ace. the Rome residence of the king of
Italy in peace times, is notably unin-
spring when viewed from the street.
But seen from the air, the magnificence
OF the Quirinal is impressive.
Wonderful Scene Unrolls.
To all appearances we were barely
moving. Whole sections of landscape
presented themselves smoothly anu
seemingly slowly. We had ample time
TO inspect with considerable care the
larger points of interest from our van
tage point in the steady basket, and 1t
was only after landing that we learned
our speed had averaged 40 miles an
hour. The distance above the ground
was responsible for the delusion OF
slow speed.
The glories of St Peters, viewed
from the air, are no small part of the
joy of flying over Rome. It is only from
high elevation that one is able to ap-
preciate the perfect symmetry OF de-
sign that represents the best genius OF
architectural thought in Rome through
four centuries under the patronage OF
over a score of popes.
Naturally enough the finer embellish-
ments of ST Peters are more or less
invisible from the air. The famous
Egyptian obelisk, brought to Rome by
enc of the old emperors, who utilized
500 men and 140 horses to perform
part of the work and spent small Tor
tune in gold or the enterprise, is dot
in the landscape. The statues are
mere blurs, the fountains are simply
brighter spots in the landscape.
Trip Quickly Made.
One of the disappointing features or
first flight over Rome is the quick"
ness with which the trip is accom-
plished. You have no sooner gotten
into the spirit of viewing things from
aloft until your machine scoots out
side the city over the green fields again
and you have groups of country peo=
pie below gazing skyward for the ever
interesting sight of an airship.
Once headed toward the airdrome'
you will probably worry a bit ABOUT
how efficiently the crew is going 10
manage the descent and landing. You
commence to realize what an unwieidy
thing an airship Is, how sensitive II IS
to the air currents, how much 1t weighs,
and. above all other things, how Tar
away the ground appears. You con-
slider. after bit of thought, that after
all it was an idiotic idea to fly While
the airship business Is in state OF
comparative infancy.
About that time the airdrome, with
its immense roof and sides OF CORFU
gated iron. is in sight. The pilots cir
Gle the airdrome and do sort or
figure six in the air. On the ground
nearly battalion of men are rushing
along to the spot the pilot has picked
for the landing. Sure enough, just as
you feared they are dropping the huge
machine Just like an elevator. The
ground suddenly looks very close.
About that time you get your first
slight Jar; it is the crew dumping sew
eral barrels of water ballast to tighten
the machine and stop the car. The
Jerk is less than the usual elevator
makes when stopping for floor. Had
you not been watching closely you
would not have noticed it.
