Y. ". c. A. PLANS
Big PAGEANTS
Permanent Wardrobes and

Features of Work

Community wardrobes, stage set
tings and properties will be a last
ing result of the movement which
the Department of Pageantry and
the Drama of the War Work Coun-
Gil of the Yong Women's Christian
Association is initiating.
Hazel MacKaye, sister of Percy
MacKaye, the poet-dramatist, who
heads this committee, has a theory
that a big pageant should be held in
each of the eleven geographical
areas in which the United States is
divided for the purpose of admins
tering Y. w. c.. A. work, to prove
to each section the value of COM
munity drama. Miss MacKaye is
putting this theory into practice
during the summer and autumn.
Pageant directors are going out
into all parts of the country to stage
huge out-of-door productions. This
means holding big mass meetings to
explain the of the pageant,
how it can be made a valuable part
of community life and how every
member of the town is to have a
part in ii.
The second act of the pageant di-
rector on arriving in a town is to
recruit the hundreds of people nee
cssary for the production. train and
drill school children, men and wom-
en- for their parts.
One of the features of the pa
geant will be the workshop. Each
director will set up a shop h all
of the costumes. properties. settings
and posters will be made and then
ask all the people of the community
TO come in and help. This means

Kidney Kennedy for 40 Years

When kidney diseases have been

it could not have existed 40 months,
much less 40 years of its enviable

Alkali in Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious. as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsifed

and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounce will last the
whole family for months.

Speaking of Shoes; :.
 Who Makes Cost?

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-An ef- fort to blame the high cost of shoes on the women because If changes in styles almost resulted in feminine riot at the City club. Laird Simons of the manufacturers of Boston, spoke in open forum. He had just adem the charge when a woman arose and asked who make the styles.
 Mir Simons hesitated and a chorus arose, "The men, the men make the styles"
 The part of MT Simons' speech that particularly irritated the women was a criticism of their patriotism in 1916 He said that when the world was at rock-bot- tom of raw material and shoes were needed by soldiers, the wo. men insisted on having their shoes follow their skirts and on having footwear all colors
 "We don't want extreme styles in shoes," quickly retorted wo man "We will be better please if you manufacturers don't make them They are put in shop win dows and cultivate extreme taste 1T the young girls who see then there"
 "If the change in styles causes the high price of shoes, why have baby shoes doubled in cost" ask ed another

Pigs Caused War;
 and Here's Proof

Buchs, Switzerland, Dec. 13.-- Pigs, just ordinary barnyard pigs brought on the world war. This is the latest contribution from the royal houses of the central empires submitted to history as the cause of the conflict It is put forth seriously by no less a parsonage than Count Carl Seilern, late con- fidential counselor to Emperor Charles in Vienna.
 In a statement to a member of the convoy bringing American Red Cross relief to Budapest, the count explained how plain, or dinary porkers-the kind from which the packers extract every thing but the squeal-were the cause of the world cataclysm.
 Fifteen years before the war said Count Seilern, Serbia was shipping great numbers of pigs into Hungary, successfully com peting with the Hungarian farm CT and cutting into his income. The Hungarians protested but the border was left open. Finally needing the pleas of it's people, ths Austro- Hungarian government, or the pretext that all Serbian pigs were diseased, placed an embargo on them.
 "Up to that time the two gov ernments had more or less of { friendly understanding. After thi: d both sides become irritated ant practiced every method of hamp ering each other in internationa trade. Political leaders in Serbi: seized upon the pig incident. Aus tro- Hungarian diplomats took IT the question. Misunderstanding arose over it. The embargo wa manipulated until the pig in } cident supplanted many other biz political questions. When it grey |. too old for political propaganda : other questions were built out O , it, and thus the world war wa brought on.

The increase, ac. cording to MT. Tewey. exists be. cause child labor is cheap and per. mits interruptions employers tc make a better profit. Contribut- ing factors are: laxity of courts in suspending sentence on mer prosecuted for violations of tht child labor law, and lack of juris diction outside city limits by in spectors.

German Industry Active While U. $.
 is Wasting Time

Coblenz, Dec. 13.-German in- dustries generally this fall have been doing the greatest business in more than five years, accord ing to German newspaper ac- counts. Foreign orders have been coming in for months, various in dustrial centers have reported. Many factories are said to have on hand more orders than they will be able to fill in six months or more. On all sides employees are demanding increased wages, and many labor difficulties have aris- en with indications of unrest am- ong the German workmen for at least some months.
 No extensive sales of German goods to foreign buyers are record ed in the German newspapers but American army officers who keep account of the industrial and econ- omic situation assert that it is an established fact that foreign buy CTS are taking advantage of the low value of the mark to purchase German products wherever pos
 sible. In Coblenz, Belgian buyers recently have been purchasing chinaware, kitchen utensils, alum
 mum ware, furs and other articles
 of general use.
 The situation has reached such
 proportions that the ministries o1
 economies and finance have beer
 discussing the advisability oi establishing a duty on exports ol the ground that "a large part o1 the German exports is being solc
 at sacrificial prices."
 The Cologne chamber of com merce, in calling attention to the large purchases of goods by for eigners, says that nview of thu
 low value of the mark, these for eign purchases constitute nothins more than commercial plunder ing of Germany" The chamber, a. we'll as others in Frankfurt ant :. elsewhere, have advised German |, merchants when selling to foreigl buyers, to charge prices somewha l in proportion to the actual valu of the goods in the markets of tn world.

Hitchcock Will
 Be Minority Leader

Washington, Dec. 13.-The posi- tive statement was made recent ly that 24 senators are pledged to support Senator Hitchcock (Neb.) for the democratic leadership of the senate. "We could give the names and every senator on the list would stand by the claim we makes.""~ said del~,a..l=iit 9 Hitchcock hench- man.
 For reasons which were not ex- plained the Hitchcock managers declined for the present at least to exhibit their poll. For the last few days the impression has been gaining that Hitchcock would win. The Underwood forces have not been pressing lately for ar early caucus, whereas previously in the contest, when they were con. fident that they would win, they were anxious for an immediate de. termination. It is not expected now that the caucus will be helc until after the holiday recess anc it may be postponed beyond that time.
 If the assertions of the Hitch cock forces are intensified by the final outcome it will be due large ly to the attack which the North ern and Western senators made against the proposal to send tht leadership to the South. They have insisted that the country does not want to be reminded that the South is completely in control ano that every suggestion of this kint injures the party in the Nortl and West, where doubtful states must be carried if the party i: to have any chance in the presi dential elections. A number 0. the Southern senators have recog nized frankly that this situation must be met and are said to hav' alleged themselves with the Hitch cock forces for this reason.
