BAN ON HUN DOCTORS
Soldiers Forbidden to Consult German
Physicians on Professional Matters
Shortage Of Food More Apparent.

Coblenz, Feb. IS, (By the Asso-
ciated Press) Further evidence of
American determination to prevent
the intermingling of Germans and
men of the army of occupation was
given today in the issuance of orders
forbidding American soldiers to pa
tronize German doctors. Regulations
against fraternization are still strictly
enforced and today's order was in
line with that prohibiting the local
purchase Of foodstuffs.
Local newspapers express satsfac-
ton with the establishment Of the
new German government but the in
creasing food shortage seems to
arouse more popular interest. A slight,
but virtually insignificant increase in

and from the Canadian border to Ok

moving eastward, though with de-
creasing severity.
While the snowfall in most local..
ties was comparatively light, high
winds, especially in Nebraska and
Kansas, caused huge drifts which de-
layed rail traffic. All freight trains
were annulled and only q few passen-
ger trains were able to get through
the drifts after hours of delay.
The wet snow and high winds
caused unusual difficulties for tele-
graph and telephone companies.
Temperatures were we'll above zero

ONCE more there has been chosen
O'for your inspection a group OF
fashions executed by French de-
signers. I have tried to vary the col
lection, having in mind what you
have already seen, so that you might
have a good general knowledge of the
work of foremost French designers;
that is, of the practical things they
have developed this season adaptable
in their entirety for the American
woman.
OF course, there are always the ex-
IRENE French fashions from which
American designers gather inspira-
ton. There are always the radical new
Ideas that the very clever American
designer uses simply in a, suggestive
way, for it must be known that the
popular acceptance of new sill
houette, color or other detail of fash
ion is a matter of gradual growth.
There was a time when we jumped
from one extreme of fashion to an
other, or seemingly so, but now our
change from extremely narrow skirts
to extremely wide ones is matter of
evolution. And this is equally true of
every line In apparel which affects the
general silhouette Of the figure.
In millinery as well as in clothes
the change from one line to another is
gradual, and it can be said that for the
last few seasons there has been such
a wide variety Of millinery ideas that

coming If she wanted simply to be
in fashion.

wear, one that will be with us for
all time, and this is good news, for
there is surely no fabric and no color
more generally becoming or more
ideally practical.
This particular blue serge dress is
embroidered in two shades of blue
crewel, and the tiny vest and roll
collar are of buff-colored georgette,
completing a most attractive color
scheme. The smart separate coat is
of French army blue, and q darker

Fashion Notes in Brief

METALLIC fabrics are being used
AVA extensively for smart spring and
summer footwear. Satin and suede are
also presented as quite the most fash
iorRb'e for many occasions.
Tweed in many variations of color
is being used to a big extent for sport
suits intended for real service and not
for show clothes.

b1ouses, with high collars and mannish
cuffs.
Square-necked blouses, with a collar
finish at the back only, are a decided
new detail in blouse models. Most Of
these new blouses are of georgette;

navy, is the effective combination used
for some extremely smart and practi-
cal afternoon dresses newly designed
