France IN DANGER

Germans, Nationality Hidden,
Found in Business Houses
Papers Demand Action.

The impending resumption OF COM
mercal relations with the enemy OF
Yesterday is causing the French public
at large a good deal of misgiving.
Many would keep the German out at
all cost, but cooler heads realize thet
France cannot afford to close the door
upon a customer of a billion francs
annually. There IS, however. a feel
ing that If the German Is to come BACK
TO France he must come back IN some
recognizable shane, and not disguised,
as too often before.
Incidents such as the following DO
not serve to put the public mind at
ease. A lady of good social standing
of Lille recognized recently In the per-
son Of cashier in q big Paris depart
ment store, a former German officer.
She had good reason to remember him
as one of the invaders who had been
quar-, upon her home In Lille.
Cha lenged, the man stoutly denied
his T, atomic nationality. He spoke
French perfectly; his papers We're to
all appearance in order. Then his
accuser remembered that the man had
once boastfully exhibited his arm, on
which the portrait of the former Ger
man emperor was tattooed. The cash
Ier-officer was dismissed and the
uewsrc pers are now demanding that
EMPLOYERS Shall be held responsible

1--WE have vaguely realized that
these effects are not satisfactory ana
occasionally have fled from them into
the putty eolored wall, which Is safe
and sound, but how drearyl From
purely physical standpoint more at
tention could be given to the color
we surround ourselves with.
every little thought has been devot-
ed to the unwholesome effects Of some
combinations of colors and the phys
ical and mental depression that may
be caused by pinks and mauves and
pea green's. We simply haven't had
time to think about our personal set
ting, and we have allowed the house
painter to wallow In filthy and dis
gushing colors. Why should more
thought and care be given to our stom-
achs than to our eyes? The average
woman has always color that she
,alls my color, and she is very par
ticular to use this in her clothes. The
color of the walls of the room In which
she entertains are of much more i'm
portance to her looks than the color
Of the gown she wears. because one
sees her head against the wall color
md on top of the gown. 1t would be
much more valuable to the beautiful
woman to spend hours posing in front
of samples for wall colors than at the
drcsslnakers selecting her gowns.
"In most houses the furniture re-
ceives the chief consideration. How
will it look against the proposed col
ors? II the furniture does not accept
gracefully the color scheme. paint that,

FIRST TO Vsa'WATER WINGS
Lovesick Maori Maiden Credited With
Devisino Those Valuable Aids
to Weak Swimmers.

Water wings were invented by Ma
, ori maiden hundreds of years before
the British conquered these New Zeal
and natives. She used some ,gourds
which she dashed. together with strands
of flax, putting the flashing under her
chest, with gourd behind each arm.
Thus equipped. she swan four miles
to meet her lover, who was, not in fav-
OF with her father.
The romantic story Is pretty one.
1utanekai's mother was the beauti-
full Rangi-uru, wife of Whakane-kai-
papa, the great chief Of the !Ngati-
whakane tribe. His father was
home wrecker, the soft-spOken glib
,ongued Tu-whare-toa. who had per-
suaded Rangi-uru to run away with
BIN. Later she repented and returned
to her husband, who forgave her. He
took her child into the family and
moved to another neighbOrhood. SO
tina, the family would escape gossip.
In this district Tutanekai grew into
IN Apollo of manhood and regular
Solomon In wisdom, but the stigma
Of his birth followed him. He tell In
love with Hine- Moa, but her father re-
fused his consent to the marriage. The
lovers were kept apart, while the glrls
father remained obdurate. Finally, In
desperation. Hine-Moa planned to
make the four-mile swim to his Island
from Rotorua, and just before plung-
ing into the water decided to make
the water wings as an extra safety
precaution. although she was an ex-
pert swimmer.

Many people fatty refuse to take de
tours. The consequence Is they re-
man right where they are. Either
they do not possess the necessary pn-
tellce and energy or they have an in

.L,vr md fOssilize wherever you want
T., 80 long as you don't impede the

want. to get on I'm life take the detOurS
and make, the most of them. They
are no fOnders of life's grades and dan
gerous bitches than other people, hut
they want TO get somewhere. So they
make the venture. And when they
keep their eyes and ears open. and
keep control of their progress there is
little danger of failing in safe CON
duct. Meanwhile they are adapting
themselves TO circumstances and get
ting a grip, on the world. They are
learning how the people who always

Harvest and Hunters Moon.

The full moon nearest the autumnal
equinox (September 22) is known as
the harvest moon" Owing to the 0c-
rnrrence of minimum relar,latiOT in
the time of rising mt that period. this
moon rises nt nearly the same time on
several successive nights. 1t rises
early and gives the bushln'lman who
have been playing golf all day an on
portunity to gather their crops. hence
its name. The ''hunter's moon" Is the
moon following the harvest moon"
The occasion for its name is obvious.
II occurs at the season of the year
when the country youth. the harvest
having been gathered, sings his gun
over his shoulder and wandeTs
through the woods In search of the
gray squirrel and other larger game.

Money In SeaWeed.

All along the coast Of Norway sea-
weed Is gathered and burned. This
Seav eed grows In verltable forests,
and Is not of the common grass vari-
ETY.. In fact. there are actual trees OF
1t five or six feet high, with stems like
ropes and leaves tough rs leather.
They begin to sprout early in the year
and cover the ocean bed with a dense.
impcnetrable brush.
As a source of income the seaweed
industry now s,lrpnsses the fisheries.
and 1t is more valuable than ngrlcu-
ture even In one Of the leading farm
ing districts of Norway. Owners Of
land abutting on the seashore reap II
great harvest.
After the weeds have been burned
the ashes are exported to England,
where valuable chemical substances
are extracted from them. The most
important Of these products Is iodine.
