Secretary Lansing made a strong
address in Paris during the week
in which he supported the plan for
allowing the German population to
receive more food. He has been
convinced that the need is a genuine
one and should be met. The main
difficulty now seems to come from
the lack OF transportation. The
Germans themselves do not possess
a large tonnage and all the vessels
that the Americans and English
have released from war service are
engaged in trade that means a good
deal to those nations.

We ought to have a law like they
have in Michigan" said Chief Forbis.
When the factory or the dealer sells
a car the buyer gets deed for the
car just like they would if we buy
house or piece of property. II he sells
the car to another person he has to
turn over the deed to the purchaser.
1T is necessary for every automobile
owner to have a deed for his car and
IL he is stopped by the police and can
show no deed OF purchase for the car.
he is taken TO the police station and
the car is traced 10 see II it is stolen.
If we had law like this in Indiana

that are going to increase to the. above men

Hence, Kenwood is a real investment.

BLOUSE AND THE SHlRTWAlST
Garments That Aid the Majority Of
Women in Solving the Economical
Dress Problem.

Every once in while we are told
by some fashion authority that mo
one is wearing the shirtwaist," or that
the blouse of the season is so mod fied
from the old type Of tucked-in shirt
waist as to he really a different gar
inent; that every one now considers
it necessary 10 have a special blouse
made with a coat costume 80 that II
virtually becomes one-piece frock
with coat to match.
Eut the every one in such state
ments, notes a fashion correspondent,
is really n very inconsiderable person,
age and the good old shrtwaist goes
along solving the dress problem of al
most all womcn-either in the home sor
in the workaday world outside the
home.
You could prove TO yourself if you
wished to that it rarely if ever pays to
buy a shirtWaist made of inferior ma
teral. In fact, the cheap shirtwaist is
usually made on an inferior pattern
and not only does the material shrink
ont of shape hut the actual lines are
sudI that it loses its good looks and
comfort after a few laundeTngs.
You could prove. even IL YOU are

the narrative of journey in central
Sudan at the time when the republics
Of Pisa and Venice had stipulated
with the sultan Of Maghreb for special
treaties in which he conceded to the
Italians the right to pass through cen
ira Africa on the Niger.
The letter says:
81 write to inform you Of an inter
esting discovery made by Charles de
la Ronciere, curator of prints in the
national library of Paris and author
of important Books on the French
navy. The discovery restores to Italy
the honor of having visited and de-
scribed the African regions Of Tuat
and the Niger four centuries before
the explorations Of Rohf and Challie,

Treves, Jan, 1S.-It is the conVic

must be made the barrier between
Germany and France. He expressed
this clearly today when he received
American newspaper correspondents.
The marshal is here in connection
with the meeting concerning the ex.
tension of the German armistice.
Marshal Foeh said:
This is for me happy opportunity

it played on our side Your soldiers
were superb. They came to us young,
enthusiastic and carried forward by
a vigorous idealism and they march.
ed to battle with admirable gallantry.
Will Never Forget U. S. Aid.
yes, they were superb. There is
no other word. When they appeared
our armies were, as you know, ia.
digued by three years of relentless
struggle and the mantle of war lay
heavily upon them. We were mag.
nificently comforted by the virilty of
your Americans.
The youth of the United States
brought a renewal of the hope that
fastened victory. Not only was this
moral fact of the highest importance
ibut you also brought ENORMOUS mater.
ial aid and the wealth which you
3placed at our disposal contributed to
the final success. Nobody among us
will ever forget what America did.
! And you know what happened on
the field of battle since the month of
July--first of the Marne, then in the
region OF Verdun. Gen Pershing
