GERMANS
BERLIN.-Belated announcement
of Americas action last December
in abolishing restrictions upon move
ments of enemy aliens in the United
States is published prominently in
the papers here. The delay is I'M
derstood to be due to the fact that
the German government has only
just been informed of the action.
While the news, according to
semi-official announcement, now is
published to reassure relatives and.
friends OF Germans in America. It
undoubtedly is intended to contrib
ute to the very general feeling
among the German people that the
United States is treating the con-
quered enemy as fairly and consid-
erately as possible. 1t also is likely
to increase the realiZa ton. even
among classes of which Count Rev
entlow is an exponent, that Ger
many must rely upon the services
OF America as an advocate to OBJ
tain what she considers just and
reasonable terms of peace and
eventual restoration to a place in
the family of nations

comment upon the courteous and
considerate behavior Of officers and
soldiers Of the American Army Of
Occupation. Writing personal let

has been replaced by an almost
ofhcious super-friendliness.

HAIL THE GEORGETTE GOWN
Always More Popular Than Any of
the Sheer Lingerie Materials
and Launders Easily.

A gown or blouse made of white or
light-colored georgette, particularly if
1t is a one-fabric affair, will usually
be found more seryiceable than a sim
liar garment made of one of the sheer
lingerie materials, such as organdie.
cotton wolfe, etc. The georgette gar
ment can be washed with soap and
water, but it does not require the Wig
Orous treatment that a cotton fabric
needs to make it look fresh and new,
and certainly the amateur laundress
can handle the georgette more easily
than one of the cotton fabrics.
Tunic and tier effects are being fea-
tured in the styles now appearing for
fall and winter. These will vie for
honors with the redingote and barrel
silhouette frocks, but fortunately
there need be no real rivalry, as the
redingote dress especially is distinct
ly a style that belongs TO daytime APP
parel.

PRETTY THINGS IN FouLARO
Partisan Dressnnakers Are Turning Out
"Creations" That Are Much More
Than Ordinarily Attractive.

An excellent piece of advice for the
summer is: "When In doubt, choose
foulard." Foulard has again come
into its own kingdom never has this
delightful silk been more lovely, never
has IL been produced In more delicate
and original colOrlngs. The Paris
dressmakers are doing rather wonder
ful things with spotted foulards. Ihey
are using the spots as groundwork
for silk or wool embroiderles and pro-
ducing really amazing results by sim
pie means. For example, little
chemise dress of black foulard was
dotted over with large white rings
At the hem, for depth of twelve
inches, these rings were worked over
on the outside with japonlca pink SILK
and covered-that is to say, the inner
round-with a miniature lattice of Sill
yer threads. The same embroidery
was applied to the front and back or
the bodice and the sash was made OF
japonica pink satin ribbon with black
and white tassels. 1t was charming
this little dress, and so simple; any
one could achieve 1t. Rings or stripes
may be decorated in this way with col
ored silks and metallic threads. lrreg-
ular designs, too, can be outlined or
filed In.

A Filipino Vassar.

What the occidental ideals of univer
sal opportunities of education are to
mean to women of the Orient takes on
large significance with the estab-
lishment in the Philippines of uni
versity for girls only. This university
is to he part of an educational group
called Centre Escolor de SenOritas
where until now the instruction to
girls has been only in the primary,
secondary and intermediate grades.
That this Filipino Vassar will develop
traditions Characteristic Of girls col
leges in the United States cannot be
doubted by anyone who has observed
how fundamentally though shyly, girl
students from the Orient have en-
tered into the undergraduate studies,
festivities and pastimes ut American
colleges.

COMBINE COLLAR AND GiROLE
Attractive Feature OF a Frock That
Meets With Favor Among
Many Women.

Navy blue and white organdie com.
bined with brlght-toned blue and red
embroidery fashions an unusual little
frock. Its very attractive feature is a
high surplice collar, which is pro.
longed into glrdle and fluffy sash
bow of navy blue Organdie. This
comes also in combinations of brown
or rose with white organdie.
Finer than calico but invested with
all the quaintness and charm of that
material are the new English prints
of the type which one frock repre-
sents. Almost any of our grandmoth-
ers might have worn just such a dress
with its square neck and elbow
sleeves, but the modern young woman
who wears this frock does not look In
the least like anybody's grandmother.
Bands of plain white braid emphasize
the simplicity of the design and the
material, and band and bow of con-
trasting ribbon velvet is tied over the
print sash. The flower design comes
both in rose and in blue.

PAINT FADED HAT
Some Effective Hand Touches
for Headgear.
Any Number Of Simple Designs May
Be Worked Out by Woman Who 10
at All Clever With Brush
and coiors.

If It's the old straw hat that Is look
Ing pretty much the worse for wear,
but still has possibilities to carry IL
through the rest of the summer, you
might treat 1t with the paint brush.
Usually the hat that begins to look
seedy so early in the race is light
hat. SO the first thing to do is to give
IT a brand-new complexion. Cleanse
1t, and then let il go at that-as far
as the background Is cOpcerned-Or
treat ii to any kind of hat dyes on
the market The painted hat is most
effective when it's first of all black
hat, as witness the stunning examples
In the millinery shops. So you will
do well to let the new coat be black
one, or at least deep blue or purple.
One appreciate thing about this fad
for trimming bit of headgear with
oil colOrs Is the effectiveness of big,
simple, rather splashy designs as com
pared with the insignificance of more
tedious decoration. particularly If the
hat be sport and the straw rather of
coarse variety. ColOrful c0nven-
tionaI fruits and flowers are excellent
choices. They may be placed pre-
cisely or with new art freedom on
crown or brim. wherever you choose,
or wherever they are calculated to be
most becoming.
Delightful in an entirely individual
way are the bird and animal motifs
for the brims OF hats for the wee people.
IL you apply them where hat bands
usually go, you can make stencil
band and expedite them with almost
lightning rapidity.
But maybe you would like to get
bit ahead of the season. In that case
you will treat yourself to chapeau in
pastel velvet and treat the velvet 20

CAUSED A CHANGE IN MIND
Circumstance That Made Mill Owner
Somewhat Relax His Ideas About
Strict Discipline.

81 personally began with the idea
that people might be hired and good
work gained from Them" Julian 5.
Carr, Jr, in System, writes. Mr.. Carr,
who is president of the Durham Hos
iery mills, goes on: Il thought in my
youth that rules made order and that
certain military discipline was es-
sential; that it was foolish to humor
people and all that, nor was | going
TO recognize certain local traditions
about days on which no work should
be done. For instance, | made up my
mind that quitting work TO go to the
circus was not in accord with the best
industrial practices.
'"The first circus came to town about
three months after we took charge of
the mill, and | was keen for the test.
We posted positive orders that the reg
ular hours of work were to be obsery-
ed on that day, and that any person
who went off TO the circus would be
discharged The full force reported
as usual on the morning of circus day,
anu went uoiIie ~ uihhti N'i""NH'
that at last we had brought order.
Tt gave me a bit Of pang, for l
should have liked to go myself!
But duty is stern master, and
rejecting on that fact ] hurried back
to the mill. Noticing a crowd in a
side street, stopped to look. 1t was
our whole mill force vending its mer-
ry way to the magic tent! ! went
along myself, and resolved that, al
though abstract rules were well
enough, bit of common sense and
knowledge of human nature might
profitably be blended with them. How
much of our labor trouble generally Is
due to enforcing countless rules with
military exactnessT

HAPPY NATIVES VI SARAWAK
Under Wise Government. People Live
Easy Lives in Their Glorously
Fertile Country.

The tribe of kayanS. nhabting the
head waters of the Baram and Reiang
rivers of SaraWak have lived for un-
known generations almost isolated in
the interior of the island of Borneo
There are many reasons for believing
them to be originally Of Caucasian
origin. Many of them have very light
skin, and they probably reached Bor-
neo by way of the Malay peninsula
from lower Burma. Rigid discipline
is characteristic of the domestic me-
mage, resulting in good hansseas .ada
recognition of authority.
For a good many years Sarawak
was under the Independent govern
ment of white raiah. Sir Charles
Brooke, who controlled his mingled
subjects with unusual wisdom and
sympathy. Among other far-sighted
edicts he instituted stringent game
laws, so that the island is one of the
best protected parts of the world in
this respect. Birds. beasts and butter.
flies are protected, not more than two
specimens of any one species being
allowed to the collector. In this way
the very beautiful and rare trees and
insects of the country are being main
tanned for the enjoyment of future
generations.
Another wise move of the rajah
was to continue the native costume
what there is of tin place of intro
ducing the unsuitable ugly and art-
fetal modern clothing of Europeans.
This, as Stevenson points out has
usually exactly the opposite effect
from that intended by well-meaning
missionaries, and the happy natives of
Sarawak are very we'll off as they are.

WILL BE WONDERFUL ROAD
Highway OF Solid Granite in the Rocky
Mountains a Rival OF the
Appisn Way.

Taking example from the famous
Appian way, which has the name OF
being the first great road undertaken
by the Romans as a public work, the
state of Colorado, with the help of an
appropriation by the United States
government, is building a highway of
solid granite In the Rocky mountains.
No other highway in the world, 1t Is
predicted, will provide travellers with
so magnificent scenic setting, close
to a sheer fall of 5000 feet on the
other side of the great concrete posts
and cables that will safeguard yehicu-
lar traffic. One gets an idea Of the
road from the practical statement that
1t is costing $4,000 a mile to build.
Like the Appian way, on which long
stretches of pavement first Travelled
over 300-odd years before the Chris
tian era, st!il remain practically per-
feet, the chairman of the Colorado
highway commission believes that Colo
RADIO is creating work which will defy
the centuries and stand, on compile
ton, as the most wonderful road In
the modern world.

Flax in the War.

Will the restoration of industry on
a peace-time basis, cotton once again,
according TO recent authoritative state
ments, FORCES ahead of linen in the
worlds favor. The exigeneies of the
recent conflict raised fax to the posi-
ton as leader among fabrics, rank
which 1t had held for centuries but had
lost almost simultaneously with the
advent of the cotton gin. With real
ization of the Importance of cotton in
the making of munitions, there came a
speedy reversion to linen for the
more commonplace usages-waistcoats
sails for ships, even Swings" for air
planes having lately consisted of ma
terial woven from the sun-hued fiber.
But flax has reached the end of its
days of monopoly. King Cotton now
rises to the fore In ordinary pursuits,
and linen once again becomes the
arlstocrat in this field of supply.

DIME NOVELS COMING BACK
Has Had Sales That Have Been
Record Breaking.

Nick Carter has come into his own
again. The king of the "paperbacks"
has made a notwithstanding return to
popularity. About eighteen months
ago his sales began to mount steadily
until the entire supply of Nick Carter
books was exhausted, says the Sun.
His return to fame was unexpected.
1t was not the result of an advertis-
ing campaign, for the publishers OF
the paper-bound books do not adver-
tise. They depend instead for the
sale of their books on the lists printed
in the back pages of each volume.
And Nick Carter was not the only
member of the "paperback" tribe to
return. All the old favorites-Laura
Jean Libbey, Bertha NJ. Clay. Mrs. e.
d. L. n. SOuthworth and Augusta J.
Evans-haye 'eome back" surpris-
ingly.
Five years ago everyone was will
ing TO predict that the movies had
killed the production Of cheap books.
Thrills could be absorbed more quick
~ from the screen than from the print
ed page-and the price was the same.
Publishers of the paper books ara
uncertain whether their old reading
public has tired of the motion picture
or whether q new class of readers has
arisen. OF one thing they are certain,
though, the demand for the 10 and IL
cent book has increased fourfold. II
1t We're not for the increased cost of
production these publishers would be
reaping the harvest of their lives.
Stories of American life-as seen by
Bertha NJ Clay and other writer's of
her class-and detective stories are
most in demand. Fortune-telIng
books and letter writer's also have a
large steady sale. Dream" books
were never so popular as they are to-
day, their publishers say.
