CONSUMERS LEAGUE"

PARIS, August (by the Associated
Press) The Inhabitants of the eight
zenith ward, which includes the Mont
martre district, met this morning In
the local city hall to form "con-
sumers' league" The officers elected
decided that at the next meeting
there should be appointed 'food-con-
troll sections" which will inspect mar
kets, shops and pushcarts to see that
prices have not varied excessively
and that they are proportionate to
the wholesale prices. A special point
made at the meeting was that meth
DDS of violence should not be made
a part of the movement.
At the end of the meeting 1t was
proposed to visit the selling districts
and a procession was formed: sell
ers of goods were visited by the
crowd from 10 o'clock until midday
and questioned as to prices, such as
why tomatoes should vary from 50,
so. 60 and 70 'centimes a pound, why
carrots were 40 confines a bundle
on some carts and 70 and 80 confines
on others. and similar inconsistencies;
The news of the movement spread
quickly and resulted in the sealing
down OF prices. the sellers changing
tickets on their goods before the ar
rival Of the investigators.

MONDAY MUTTON.

Not since the end Of the war has
there been special appeal from the
government heads to the housewife
save now that we have been urged to
make a practice of having mutton or
lamb on Monday. The idea is that it
is highly desirable to extend our
sheep-raising industry and to substi-
tute this form of flesh food for pork
and beef to a certain extent. AS
things are now only small fraction
as much mutton is used as beef and
pork. and there Is no very good rea-
con for this state Of affairs. The i'm
preston Of many persons is that lamb
is very dear, and many butchers as
sure US that they have no mutton.

STRONG CONTRASTS IN cOLORs.

to us when, for patriotic reasons or
otherwise. well dressed American
women began wearing the shades of
red and blue that one sees in the nag.
Perhaps after all 1t is the effect of so
much displaying of flags that has
brought about this vogue for high
contrasts, for with almost no excep-
lions the flags Of the nations show
the most vivid sort Of color eombina-
tions-red and blue, red and yellow,
green and red. The flag makers were
apparently haunted by none of those
present-day notions that these strong
color combinations are inartistic.
In the frock sketched for today you
bination of colors has gone, for there
is no attempt at softening the bold
ness of the bright rose organdie
against the old blue of the shantung
and there is no mere suggestion OF
color that peeps out from a lining or
shows in a narrow piping.
Trimmings Make Up for Fabric
Scarcity.
For those who like to trace fashion
changes to their sources there is in
tereSting speculation as to why 1t Is
that we are enjoying renewed in
or more have trimmings played SO
important part in clothes. and the
counters where these sartorial gar
nishes are sold in the big shops are
besieged by dressmakers' errand girls,
or those of us who like personally to
select the trimmings that we shall
have on our clothes.
And the reason seems to be due to
the shortage of all sorts of clothes
fabrics-the shortage and the high
price. Unfortunately this shortage of
material came just at time when
fashions pendulum was due to swing
back in favor Of fuller, more bout
FAINT clothes. There has been per
sistent rumor that crinolines were
next on the board. Apparently what
the dressmakers will have to &C
compfish next will be to produce this
bouffaht silhouette with the least
possible yardage Of material. To do
this much depends on clever design
ing. Real character can be accom-
plished by the proper use Of trim
mings. Now trimmings are fairly ex-.
pensive, but there Is no such shortage
in that line as in the materials them
selves. You would be surprised how
few yards of material are used In
a little frock like the one sketched-a
frock which has the gracefully
draped panniers that continue to
challenge our interest.

Democrats, however. declared Thursday
that they were opposed 20 the DIVIDING

that Hugo Preuss. Minister OF the In

PATTON, Jan. 26,-Noing for delegates to
the Prussian National Assembly took
place to-day In the region occupied by
the Americans. There was no disorder
and no indication OF Bolshevik influence.
1t was just one week since the cleo
ton OF delegates to the German National
Assembly and to-days results were
similar. The Indications are that the
old Centrist, or Christian Peoples, party
Is leading. This Is easily accounted for
by the strong support OF the church in
the Rh!neland, although tho Social
Democratic party also has polled heav-
ily.
REPORTS from the interior concerning
the entire Prussian vote indicate that
there is a possibility Of the Majority
Socialists receiving a majority in the

troops to-day were Identical to those of
