CHEER UP,

Cheer up, chillun, though the weath- erIs mighty raw. Every time dar comes a freeze dar's gotter come a thaw. It takes a little patience till de freez- in time is done, An if you lose yoh temper, why, it doesn't help you none. Cheer up, chillun, cause de wealth CTS on de move, When do luck-appears de hardest 1t is certain to improve, Cold wave an warm wave, dey gotter mind de law Every time you gifts a freeze you got ter have a thaw. Cheer up, chiI1un, an prepare to say "Hurrah!' De chilliest proposition by an by is boun' to thaw. Yoh hopes dey keeps droopin'- don't you let it make you frown; Thermometers was built foh moyin' up de same as down. So cheer up, chillun, cause you sho'ly might as well; We all has our troubles, an dar's nothin' new to tell, Each botheration seems about de worst you ever saw, But every time you gifts a freeze, you's Sotter have a thaw.

slow and crushing submergence that has the cruel deIiberation of some story by Edgar Allan Poe; it may last for hours. A time comes when the lights go out and the rising waters stop the apparatus for keeping up the supply of oxygen and absorbing the carbonic acid. Suffocation begins Think of what must happen in the minds of the doomed men crowded together amidst the machinery. In the particular case these prisoners described, several of the men drowned themselves deliberately in the rising waters inside the boat And in another case where the boat was re- covered full of dead men, they had all put their heads under the water inside the boat. People say the U- boat men carry poison against such mischances as this. They don't. It would be too tempting.

 That is the doctrine of the nation allzation of property. That is Bol- shevism. And Bolshevism and Amer 1canism cannot stand together. And you and I assert that Americanism shall stand in this country until the last patriot in this land lies covered by the Stars and Stripes in his eternal rest.
 Put over this great cause of Ameri- caniZaton and we drive each day nails in the coffin of BoIshevism. Don't temporize with it, don't propitiate it, fight it, fight it to the death.
 We put down Prussianis1n in that way and we can put down and keep down Bolshevism in that way.
 From May to May 20 in France will be held a great tournament, a contest to select the best shots with rifle and revolver in a large part of the army over there, and then the se- lected shall meet the best shots of the Allies. Every man who comes back will know how to shoot. That will be some protection to our free govern ment, but he'll bring a better weapon for free government than that. He'll have in his heart a respect for order, a love for country and a faith in de- mOcracy that will help mould the mind and habits and heart of our peo- pie and help make and keep our gov- ernment clean and true and preserve this great country for all time, the home of the brave and the land of the free.
 Do you soldiers of the republic stand four-square for demo ocracy, for order and Jaw, for the rights of prop erty and the rights of humanity? Do you demand from every citizen and especially from every public official loyalty for the institutions which you have helped keep for us, and loyalty and respect, in act and not by word alone, for public order, for public justice and loyalty, complete, unwav- eringIy, for this 'Indissoluble Union of Indestructible States?' Give Bol- shevisnl now and hereafter the same treatment we gave pro-Germanisna. D During the dinner Paul Shubert sang several vocal solos. There was an enjoyable evening of dancing fol- lowing the dinner when the party voted the most wonderful time they ever enjoyed.

The New Clothes

The assurance of the overblouse as an established mode for the present season leads to the expectation of the fashions being carried over to the fall, and with that idea in mind com ments of the many opportunities for the use of novelty materials and ef- fects for the fall line are heArd. In spite of the fact that manufacturers seem enthusiastic over the possibih- ties that lie for next years cold weather blouses, there seems to be little specialization of ideas; few have laid any definite plans.
 Tho report is that all available crepe de chine has been bought up, with darker colors to be saved for use in early fall merchandise. This tallies with what is predicted con cerning the use of all-over embroid- cred effects similar to those that were used from the start in the spring nov cities IL Is said that the fact that all-over embroidered crepe de chimes have been used a great deal already will be no hindrance to it's further use, as there is great latitude for richer and heavier variations.
 In domestic silks, there Is a series shown in both white and flesh crepe de chine for the bride, that is quite distinct in character. The gowns are trimmed with the narrower widths of Valenciennes used lavishly in French style, and there are light sprays of hand embroidery in self tone which also suggest the French type of lin gerie.
 nrf line a weave which is usable in the reverse side some of the new skirts have hems, pockets and belts fashioned of the reverse side of the material. For the most part these sport skirts all have the straight round lines popular now for a number of years, and the fulness is gathered in at the band and distributed evenly quite around the waist Wide belts of the satin are worn with them and fasten at one side with large pearl buttons. The hems along the bottom of the skirt are deep, though in the new weaves it is possible to make the skirt of the width of the material and then the selvage is used and no hem. This effect will prevail as it saves time, labor and extra material. The tan silks such as we have seen in shan lungs, pongees and raJahs are very smart this year. Some are cleverly trimmed with foulards or surahs ap- pliqued in some clever way.
 The short cape of fur has caught the popular fancy and is shown with these fabric capes. The fur capes extend below the waistline in back, and in front, when fastened fall as a short box coat. Mole Is favored for these
