BEWARE AUTO DEALER WHO
TRADES HIS HEAD OFF"

No one need feel suspicious of the
dealer who goes a bit high on trading
in cars of the marque he himself ham
dies. That is not unnatural in the in
terest of his own business. He can
always dispose of such cars rather
more easily than an outsider.
But it is the man who goes the limit
on all and sundry cars that are
brought to him who is deservedly to
be avoided. Something for nothing
isn't being done in the automobile
business. And it isn't to be expected
any more than in any other line.
1t has to be admitted, tho, that the
automobile buyer has a strong ston-
ach for the taking-in of big offers.
He is naturally inclined to overesti-
mate the secondhand value of his
machine. This is chiefly because he
does not understand the nature and
scale of depreciation, subject which
motor car statesmen avoid as far as
possible when selling cars.

Elder Is known around the Santa
Fe general offices as Uncle Billy"
and perhaps no member of the "old
guard has as many friends turnout
the system as he. He was born in
Scotland, and was educated at the
University of Aberdeen, one of the
most famous colleges in Europe. For
eleven years following his graduation,
1872 to 1888, Billy Elder was en-
ployed in the clearing house at Lon
don, England.
In 1853 Elder left the British Isles
and came to America and for year
resided in Boston. The great and
rapid development of the west caught
his thrifty Scotch eye and the follow
ing year he came to Kansas and en-
tered the service of the old Southern
Kansas railway at Lawrence. He was
in the accounting department of that
road.
Went To Santa Fe in 1888.
With the requirement of the South
ern Kansas by the Santa Fe in 1888,
Elder entered the employ of the lar
ger system on June 1 of that year and
has been in continuous service in the
ticket auditors department since that
time.
Elder is a bachelor. All of his rela-
tives live in Scotland and it is his
wish to spend his last years in the
beautiful land of highlands and heath
err and lochs and bens.
Billy Elder is prominent in Ma
sonic woEx in Topeka, particularly in
the Scottish Rite bodies.
I'VE will certainly miss Uncle Bill
ly." said one of his old friends today.
I'VE have been so accustomed to see
ing him daily for these many years
that it will take long time before we
can get used to his absence. He is
one of the most lovable men in the
service"
Friends All Over System.
Elders friends in the Santa Fe
range from Chicago to the Pacific
coast, and from office boys in the
general offices to the highest eXecu-
tive officials of the road.

fondest recollections of his boyhood

VILLA ON RAMPAGE
Bandits Forces Making Serious Raids
NO Americans Molested.

Washington, May 24.-Official ad-
vices from various parts of Mexico in
dictate that the situation in the north
ern part of that country due to the
operations of Francisco Villa is more
serious than had been reported. 1t
was learned today that Villa and his
organized force of rebels are now
threatening parts of Durango, as we'll
as Chihuahua to the north.
American mining men, 1t was
learned, have asked for special trains
to be ready to romove them and their
families from the danger zone when
Villa approaches. Officials asserted,
however, that as yet no American had
been molested by the Vil1istas and
that that Villa, himself, had treated
all Americans with consideration.
Some American property has, how
ever, been taken by the Villistas when
they needed food, material and funds.
and Villa has stated that this would
be considered as tax, inasmuch as
Carranza, to whom they had been
paying taxes, could no longer protect
them.

Czechoslovaks Also Arrive.

NEW YORK. September 23-Emmy
Destinn, Bohemian concert and opera
singer. arrived here from Havre,
France, on the steamship La Lor-
raine, after spending three and one
half years as a virtual prisoner in
her chateau in Bohemia.
Miss Destinn went to Europe in
May. 1916. to visit her home and the
Austrian authorities refused to per-
nit her to return to this country.
Her movements were restricted to a
zone within eight miles of her estate.
All her efforts to obtain permission
to return to the United States where
she had taken out her first citizen
ship papers. were unavailing.
While not asserting she never
would sing German operas again,
Miss Destinn expressed the hope that
she would never be called upon to
sing in the German tongue.
Among the other $50 passengers
were Eugene Ysaye. the Belgian
violinist; his wife and four children
and 300 repatriated American Czecho-
slovak soldiers.
The Czechoslovaks went from the
United States to fight with the
French foreign legion first in France
and later in Hungary. Mr.. Ysaye,

Reducing Baby's Expenses.

Never try to reduce baby's expenses
by getting less expensive milk or by
buying inferior oranges or by trying
to do with less ice than is necessary
to keep the milk chilled all the time.
If the doctor orders freshly made
broths or beef hlice it is bad econ
omy to attempt to- get along without
these things. Do your economizing
on the clothes that baby wears. and
he will be far less likely to suffer In
consequence. For you only satisfy
your own vanity when you buy ex-
pensivef or ornate clothes for the
baby. Good woolen underthings are
essential, and clean seasonable cloth
ing; but no baby was ever made
the least bit happier for having
handmade clothes or clothes adorned
with hand-embroidery or expensive
lace. To be sure, these things are
nice, but il there must be economy
lyou are wise if you take a tuck in
baby's dress allowance rather than
in his food bill.
Baby's flannel petticoats are expen-
sive when bought already made. But
you can make them yourself in FEW
minutes if you buy the sort OF waist
bands that come already made, pro-
yided with buttons and buttonholes
and with a place ready for the petit
coat to be stitched after it has been
gathered For the baby who is in
short clothes it is enough if he has
petticoats made of cotton flannel. and

REVERSIBLE ECONOMY CAPES
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

PARIS, September 13-One could
write a new story every day on capes
and hats. and one might add stockings
and shoes. The temptation is hard 10
overcome. In the absence of anything
startling and new in the major poc-
tion of Paris fashions. the French
women did the thing they especially
like and to which they bring in
genuity and trained art. They made
their accessories the fashion note in
their costumes. They put emphasis
upon the wrap, the hat, the shoes and
stockings. They featured handbags
purses. gloves, blouses. The great
dressmakers gave them little in the
way of novelty for three years and
few individuals rose out of the mass
to create new type Of gown; there
fore. the mass wore the chemiSe frock
without waistline and the tailored
suit with it's long jacket and short
skirt, the former girdled at the waist
with a belt of the material. This
would make for intense monotony,
this uniform style of dressing, if in
dividuals did not depart from the
mass and invent clever and colorful
accessories that would differentiate
them from their neighbors. 1t is IN
these accessdries that the American
observer finds something to go on i'll
dull season. She has watched French
women at the resorts, at the pleasure
places. in the exclusive back salon of
a great, dressmaking house, given to
the woman who buys many clothes
and who avoids buying anything on
the first visit. All these women play
up the minor parts of apparel So far,
they have not changed the foundation.
They have not entered the dressmak-
ers houses, large or small while they
are being given over to foreigners, al
lies and neutrals alike. They avoid
their chosen haunts when the Ameri-
can buyers dominate the situation.
They consider that the great houses
are trying out experiments with the
Americans and, after they shake down
the chaff, they. the French. will come
in and get the wheat. This does not
worry the Americans. They are lit
tie too independent this season to be
worried about anything. You who are
in America and far away from the in
, trigue of industry have little idea of
the locked horns between the Ameri-
cans and French apparel people, for
the clash has occurred right here in
small sector of Paris. Therefore, as
the observer knows that all the ex-
hibition clothes shown to Americans
will appear in America, and the things
that the French women wear may not
be known to us at the present mo-
ment, it is of keen interest to watch
these things.

The Reversible Cape.

The French women have taben up
the reversible cape with its two-color
scheme as one of the accessories to
gown that lacks originality. The
Americans like the idea. These capes
sell for about $50 at the present rate
of exchange in the department shops
and far more at the dreSsmaking
houses. They are dark blue or black
satin on one side and beige or gray
cloth on the other side. The dark sat
in side is turned to the light in the
evening. and the light cloth side
serves for the street. in the morning
or afternoon. The canny French wom-
an matches the cloth side with stock
ings and shoes so that she may Carry

to heels. Under this reversible cape

FEDERAL WATCHMEN
OPPOSE DISCHARGE

4 movement was started yesterday
TO form a protective association of
the veteran soldiers and sailors who
are part of the approximately 600
guards or watchmen employed in the
State, War and Navy buildings and
the temporary structures erected for
war uses. including those in Potomac
Park.
In view of alarming reports that
there will be a wholesale discharge of
these guardians June so. the veterans
will ask that their cases be given
consideration under the soldier and
sailor clause of the civil service law.
This clause gives preference in re-
tention to men who have been honor
ably discharged from the army or
navy.
It is proposed to take up the matter
with Col. c. a. Ridley. in charge OF
public buildings and grounds. and a
committee will be named for that
purpose.
