Here is what one man did Il you
don't know him Won know some one
Just like him in your community
Twenty years ago he owned the
clothes he stood in and that was about
all
He saved fifty dollars the first year;
the next year with a little better
wages seyenty,fiye
One thing with another-a wife and
family included he has saved an
average Of five dollars week for
twenty years
What he saved in twenty years was
bout five thousand dollars What he
has is twice nye thousand like the
man in the parable
His dollars working for him now
bring him more than hts yearly saving.

"Oh, that's all, is it?" sneered the
King. We'll, where is the passage

They all looked around, but could
not discover the place, for it had
long since been closed. Dorothy
however, would not be dismayed.
She waved her hand toward the
seemingly solid wall of the cavern
and said:

II can't imagine" said Dorothy.
See here, girl" proposed the King,
eagerly; give me the belt, and

Woodman was changed into, and
then you can easily find him."
Dorothy hesitated, but Billina

The Fate of the Tin Woodman

With the Nome King frightened
into submission by the clever ruse
of the Scarecrow, there remained for
the Rescue Party of OF only to find
the Tin Woodman. So, with the
magic belt of the Nome King to aid
her Dorothy re-entered the palace,
the doors of which still stood open.
And everyone followed her except
the Nome King, the Queen OF Ev,
and Prince Evring. The Queen had
taken the little Prince into her lap
and was fondling and kissing him
lovingly, for he was her youngest
born.
But the others went with Doro-
thy, and when she came to the mid
die of the first room the girl waved
her hand, as she had seen the King
do, and commanded the Tin Wood
man, whatever form he might then
have, to resume his proper shape.
No result followed this attempt, so
Dorothy went into another room and
repeated it, and SO through all the
rooms of the palace. Yet the Tin
Woodman did not appear to them,
nor could they imagine which among
the thousands of ornaments was
their transformed friend.
oauly lney returned 10 the lhI ohe
room, where the King, seeing that
they had met with failure, teered at
Dorothy, saying:
You do not know how to use my
belt, so 1t is of no use to you. Give
it back to me and I will let you
go free-you and all the people who
came with you. AS for the royal
family of Ev, they are my slaves,
and shall remain here"
IT shall keep the belt" said Doro-
thy.
But how can you escape, without
my CONSENT" asked the King.

PORTERS RARE IN
 PARISIAN R. R.

Paris, Feb. S-The railway stations of Paris are piled high with Ameri- can baggage these days. Mountains of bedding rolls, locker trunks and the customary belongings of the of ficer, block every spare space, for these men are in exodus home. They represent very largely the officer per sonnel not now attached to units, travelling separately and trying to reach the ports of authorization. Be- cause of this they have to use the reg ular trains and other facilities of travel and transfer across the citly.
 Porters are few in Paris railway stations. Those that exist are old men or wounded men, so 1t is not unusual to see a colonel or two wrest- ling with his own bagga ge, side by side with a whole squau of soldiers, Then comes the hunt for a taxicab which is even more rare than the porter and, usually lacking any French, these Americans have no easy time in getting out of one station and to another
 But they manage 1t after a fash ion with the help of the American military police whose red hat bands and brassards are numerous In all the depotS.

SMART BIOUSES.

Only the sport blouses have but tons that show-buttons, that is, that are obviously fastenings. There are many clever devices for hiding the wearer getting into or out of blouse and sometimes the method is hidden only from a front view, for the blouse buttons frankly down the back It looks now as if button-in- back waists would be well established by midsummer, and the day of the patient and suffering husband who fumbles with maddeningly tiny buttons and buttonho1e is again at hand.
 A new button-in-back blouse is a model of sheer. printed voile, in a new all-over pattern, with trimming bands of plain coIored silk herring boned to the material. This blouse has the long sleeves, trimly fitted at the wrist. It has also the round, col ldrless neckHne, though turned down collar relieves what might otherwise be too severe an effect.
 Another way of hiding the fasten- ing is by the use of the loose front panel. Sometimes these panel fronts fasten with invisible snaps along the shoulder line: sometimes the fast ening is at the edge of the panel, from 0 round neck to waistline. This effect is illustrated in @ blouse of red and white figured crepe with trim ming of plain red chiffon. Pleated frills of the chiffon trim the sleeves and frill falls over the tucked red chiffon panel, small collar of the red chiffon rising at the back of the neck Red crochet buttons edge the panel and dangle from the outer side of the sleeve-and by the way, buttons are a favorite trimming on these new costume blouses.
 Another dainty blouse fastens down the front, but the fastening is hidden under a cascade of frills, This is a new way of using frills; and the frilled sleeve is especially new and interesting. The blouse is made of Georgette crepe in a lovely shade of faint blue-lilao, and the frills-some Of lace and others of crepe and lace are machine pleated. The sleeve gives an effect of graceful fullness, but, nevertheless, it retains the trim. fitted line at the wrist which is in sisted upon now.
 Pale coiored Geergette waists are much faneied, and if the colors do fade after wear and cleansing, there is great comfort to be had in the easily used soap dye, which restores sheer fabrics to dainty tints in a tNinkling.
 One thing is certain about wash waists," as the unimaginative shop keeper insists on calling them, though every woman nowadays uses the term tub biouses"i and that oertatn thing is that lace and en- sroidery trimming, will decorate
 any of the models this year. Filet zee seems to be the faverite sort,

INCREASED FARES
 ON HUN RAILROADS

Munich, Jan. S-Railroad fares, already soaring to unprecedented Ssights all over Germany despite an equally unprecedented poverty of ser vcie, are going up again, and this time with a jump to take away the travellers breath. Prussia, attempt ing to make up q deficit of a billion and quarter marks, is going to put up fares for passengers 60 per cent above the present high rates. Bavaria and the rest of Germany are expect e-c to do likewise and to be affected by general increase.
 Coincident with this unwelcome an nouncement comes word that all pas sanger traffic is to be reduced by at least 50 per cent, all military and freight trains by the same proportion. The delivery of hundreds and thou sands of locomotives and cars to the Entente powers under the armistice terms is given as the main reason.
 Passenger traffic is to be even more restricted than today, and no indlvid- ual is to be allowed to travel by train unless he can prove to the satisfac- tion of the authorities that the trip is urgently necessary.
 Germany began on about Dec. 20 to deliver to the Entente armistice commissioners 110 locomotives and 2,4O0 cars 8 day for ten days. then 150 locomotives and 320 cars a day Tor twenty days so as not to be liable 10 the penalty included in the armis- tlce conditions of partin~ with an other 500 locomotives fo.. failure to deliver on time.

STATES REQUIRE PHYSICAL FIT.
 NESS OF CHILDREN.

Fifteen states now require physical fitness of children to be determined by physician before they can TO- ceive working permits, says the Ma tional Child Labor Committee in 8 statement issued today. In twenty six states the law contains some pro- vision to the effect that physically unfit children shall not be granted permits. In some of these states it is enough merely that permit-issuing officer should be satisfied, from the appearance of the applicant, that he Is normally developed and is able to perform the work he intends or hopes ito do.
 Examination by qualified phy- sician should be made mandatory in all of the states, if the intent and purpose of child-labor legislation is to be fulfilled" according to the committees statement. Tn view of the fact that one of the oldest and most frequently used arguments for child-labor restrictions Is the effect of industry on the health and bodily development of growing boys and girls, it is remarkable that only twenty-six states today require that children receiving permits to enter industry shall be physically qualified. This year the legislatures of several states are considering bills for the improvement of their laws in this respect"

NO MAIL FROM GERMANS

Coblenz, Feb. 8-Thousands of resi- dents of Coblenz have relatives or friends in the United States and dur ing the first few weeks of American occupation there was a line of Ger mans every day at the army post office with letters for those across the Atlantic. The Germans had gain ed the false impression that they could communicate with people in the United States by use of the army's mail service.
 The residents of Coblenz and other towns in this vicinity continued to stream into the United States branch postoffice each day in such numbers that eventually, at the request of the authorities, notices were published in the German newspapers explaining that no German mail was being re- ceiVed for the United States. Ameri- cans of the Army of Occupation are not allowed to use the German mails for communication with enemy sub- jects residing either within or with out the occupied zone.

RESPONSIBILITY
 FOR TIE WAR

It is a vital thing to have the evil war, presented in such clear and com plete form that even the German people must be convniced. Unfortu- nately there is as yet no indication that they have learned the falsity of the explanations given them by the Kaiser and his propaganda machine
 If two men get into a fight, and one of them was all loaded up with pistols and knives and had been shooting at a mark for a long time, while the other was wholly unready and unprepared, most people would feel convinced as to which was re- sponsible. Furthermore If the well armed man was found over on his neighbours land where he had agreed not to trespass the evidence would be still clearer. But there is in exist erce plenty of more. positive testi- mony.
 Every scrap of such evidence now held in the German foreign office and state department, should be handed over
 It is of course quite likely that the gang around the Kaiser, in the days just before their collapse, destroyed most of the discriminating evidence in their possession. But the final col lapse came so suddenly that they might possibly have neglected to do this. The Socialist provisional gov ernment might or might not care to destroy this evidence if it survived : the downfall of the Kaiser's govern ment.
 It has been reported that represen- tatives of the provisional German government, on examining these archives, found abundant proof of the guilt of the Kaisers government. If they wish the Allies to take at face value their protestations of desire for a peace of justice, they must make no obstacles to the fullest investiga- tion of the causes of the war They should at once hand over all docu- ments and files containing any ma teria1 evidence
