The French women are still de-
prived Of their automobiles and the
former fashionable tea houses cannot
resume their gayeties until they can
serve something besides plain tea. The
lack Of butter and sugar means Tot

have their Influences on the fashions
Some Of the houses, however, have
borne in mind that the peace confer

the corners of the earth that have
been untouched by the war, would
bring some Of the old gayety to Paris

ticnal travel pay which he believes
may be due him.
Men who have been discharged
since Feb. %, 1919. and paid travel
allowances at cents a mile to
place of entry into military ser
vice, and whose actual bona f1de
home or residence at date or dis
charge involved a greater distance,
may submit claim to the zone fl
nance officer, Washington d. c. as
above.
Settlement Process Slow.
1t is pointed out that settlement
of travel allowance claims cannot
be accomplished with the same ra-
pidity which was obtained in the
payment of $50 bonus. Each claim
will require certain verifcation by
war department records, that to be
followed by mileage calculations in
the zone finance Office. The need
for accuracy is obvious, necess1tat-
ing a specialized Office personnel,
and it is hoped that this circum-
stance will not be overlooked by
those concerned. Every letter or
telegram making inquiry or re-
questing expedited action will OPP
crate to delay these payments, and
IL public is therefore urged to lend
full cooperation with a view to re-
ducing correspondence to the mini
mum, keeping in mind that it Will be

can be placed in the hands OF re-
cruiting officers.

OFFER CAPTAIN
ATHLETICS AT
LOCAL COLLEGE
Commander of Battery f Soon Re-
turning, Has Post at Augustana
If He Desires it.

Hopes are being entertained by
friends Of Captain Arthur Swedberg
of the returning One Hundred and
Twenty-third field artillery and
former star athlete of Augustana
college, that he will accept the po-
sition of Augustana athletic coach
rendered him by the board of di-
rectors at their next meeting last
week.
Should Captain Swedberg accept
he will be placed in full charge of
all gymnastic and athletic actIvi-
ties. With the wealth of new ma
terial expected next fall and the
ability of the former versatile ath-
lete, the thought is confidently ex-
pressed in school circles that cham
>pionship teams will follow.
The popular hero and athlete
graduated from Augie with the
class of 1917. Besides being an aLh-
lete known throughout the state, he
was president of his class and was
one of the most popular students of
the college and the community.
Swedberg earned four letters IN
basketball and two in track during
his college career. He was star OF
the 1917 Augie championship bas-
ketbaIl five and was a member of
the all-state team two years. He is
generally conceded as being the
most prominent athletic who ever
attended Augustana and his addi-
ton to the school faculty as ath-
letic coach is looked upon as a
boost to athletic activity.
According to DR.. Andreen, no in
formation as to the decision of
Captain Swedberg can be obtained
before the return of the 123d, which
is expected early next month.
