Peter Makes a Startling Dis
C0very.

Were you ever terribly frightened
If so, you know just how Peter Rab-
bit felt as he dived under that pile of
old treetops just as Hooty the Owl
was about to seize him in his great
cruel claws. Peters heart was right
up in his mouth. At least that is the
way it felt to Peter. He crawled In
under the branches, and there he
crouched perfectly still When his
hear had quieted down a little Peter
felt better. 1t doesn't take him long
to recover from such frights, for he
is used to them. They are part Of
his daily life. Under that pile OF brush
he felt perfectly safe.
II fooled him that time" chuckIed
Peter. My but he certainly did give
me a scare, l don't see what he is
hanging around here for. anyway. No
one he is likely to catch lives around
here. I guess the best thing for me to
do Is to spend the rest Of the night
here It certainly won't be safe for me
to go out for long time yet. I've
this. / think I'll explore a little under
meath this pile of brush and see what
it is like"
so Peter Rabbit crept and era wled
underneath the great pile OF fallAn
trees until he had nearly reached the
center of the pile. Then as he poked
his head out from under q tree at the
bottom of the pile he received one of
the most startling surprises of his
life His funny little wobbly nose
touched something that tiekled II so
that he sneezed. With little gasp
Peter drew his head back in a hurry.
tt was the hair of a great fur, coat
that had tickled Peters nose. There
was somebody besides Peter under
that great pile of fallen trees. Once
more Peter held his breath and once
more his heart seemed to come up In
his mouth Then little by little his
courage came back.
Whoever 1t was inside that fur coat,
he hadn't moved. He must be asleep

10WN YOUR HOME PLAN"
OF LABOR Department
Program for the Campaign, Al
ready Formulated, Is Outlined
by Paul c. Murphy.

Plans for an effective own your
own home" campaign, adaptable 10
any city in the United States, have
been formulated by the Department
of Labor under the supervision OF
Paul c. Murphy of Portland. Ore
who is now in Washington with the
division Of public works and con-
struction development of the depart
ment.
The campaign plan. as outlined by
Mr. Murphy, contemplates a general
committee made up Of civic and in
dustrial leaders. with some one mar
whose standing In the community
justifies his selection as the chief ex?
eCutive. The division of public works
and csonstru ction development will
serve as O. clearing house through
which all information regarding the
campaign will be cleared and the
fullest cooperation extended -
every town joining in the campaign
The churches, worens organiza-
tions and labor organizations play an
important part in the ultimate plan,
as worked out by the department.
The entire campaign s based on a
CIVIC betterment plane father than OF
.. purely commercial basis. and the
appeal is more on the line of wha,
each business group can put into the
campaign rather than what il can
derive from the movement.
The own youA own home" propo-
Sition was one oY the problems sub
mitted at the recent conference OF
governors and mayors at the White
House. II met with support and en-
couragement from most Of the execu-
tives and many of those attending g
the meeting pledged themselves to
put the plan into operation in their
x1ome districts.

There was queer smell. Peters wob-
bly, little nose went back and forth.
back and forth, as he tried to make
out what that smell was. It was
strangely familiar. yet for a little
while Peter couldn't quite remember
what it was. Then all in a moment
Peter recognized 1t and suddenly felt
as If he wanted to shrink into moth

inside that fur coat 1t was BUSTER
Bear. Yes, sir, it was Buster Bear.
There wasn't the least doubt about 1t.

No Longer Severe.

The designer who took UP the idea
of white serge after it had lapsed into
a slumber that some thought would
last forever was clever enough not
to reinstate severe tailored suits or
gowns of It. Instead OF these. thefe
was introduced a semi coat suit with
so many feminine touches that one
again felt reminded of the eighteenth
century. FriIls and embroidery soiten
the dead severity Of corded " hite
serge. These turn 1t into something
less commonplace than it is.
White organdy ruffles hint at CO
quetry and blue embroidery does
more than hint at gayety. with these
accessories the white serge loses us
sting 1t becomes something new and
therefore interesting. 1t does not re
senble the commonplace coat suits OF
eight years go that were called
Yachting suits even by those VINO had
never been ITO the seashore.
If serge continues to be popular
summer fabric, ii is quite probaple
that it will take on many more forms

were widely copied in America and

cloth an impetus toward success.
White serge still rested by the way

OF course, fashion Is capricfous NO
one expects any other characteristics
of it. The evidences of this are as con-
tinuous as they are interesting.
AS an example, no sooner had blue
serge gone out of the first fashion
than the designers took il into their
heads to bring white serge into the
linfelight. One can never tell what
comm ercial reasons are behind such
exploitation. It is often found to be
true that a certain house has an over
plus of material and persuades de-
signer to use it up. Then the fabric
becomes the fashion which is good
for commerce.
This may be the case with white
serge The interesting fact is that

WATER POWER.

FUEL SHE NEEDS
lRv Associated Pressl

PARIS, Aug. 2S.-Nine million
horsepower is the total capacity of
the natural waterfalls of France, ac-
cording to a complete census made
by Monsieur Jules Gels, Under Sec
retary Cf Public Works. Of that to
tai 100000 horse power was utilized
before the war and about half mil
lion has been put into operation since
1914 The Chamber of Deputies is
now discussing bill regulating the
cession of water power privileges
which it is hoped, will facilitate the
utilization Of the remaining seven
and three quarter million.
The advantage France may draw
from full exploitation of this rich
resource in power appears clearly when
it is recalled that Germany has only
100000 horsepower in hydraulic
resources, that coal costs three times
as much as it did before the war, and
that the French water-nowcr CORES
ponds to total annual coal consump-
ton Of 7S,0O0.OO0 tons--eighteen mil
lion tons more than France consumed
annually before the war.
France requires twenty million tons
of coal yearly in excess Of her own
production, at it's maximum. At the
present cost. the purchase Of such n
quantity means the payment abroad Of
a billion two hundred million francs
annually, materially aggravating the
situation of French exchange.
The program of utilization of the
unimproved water power comprises
TIE manufacture of nitrate fertilizers
so much needed to increase agricultur-
al production in France.

CONFESS WAR GUILT ADVISES
BAVARIAN DIPLOMAT
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Aug. 28.-ProfessOr f. w.
Forester, Bavarian Minister to Switz-
erland. recommends an "honest ma.
ticnal self-indictment" for the Ger
mans. Writing to the Tageblatt on
the questions of war guilt and the
conduct of the war, he says:
1--WE must investigate our own part
in this world brutalizing process quite
as much as we should our opponents
abroad. Not until then are we able to
understand the Paris decision as the
tragic result of our own national
guilt. The ruthless cruelty with which
we were treated we, ourselves, prac-
ticed in the occupied territory.
"Whoever has the slightest concep-
ton of the rigorous measures we
adopted in the treatment of prison
ers and the systematic destruction of
industrial plants and the deportation
of thousands of young girls will read
lily understand the resentment of the
French people.
"We must be perfectly clear in our
minds in respect of our own guilt if
we are to be born again nationally. We
must always remember that, while
the whole world is practicing the poll
tics Of might, we on the other hand
have systematized the politics of might
and elevated it to a new political
philosophy"
