WaistcOats of Leather

"How thoroughly prehistoric" eX-
claimed the enthusiastic buyer when
a coy little manikin appeared on the
dais with a waistcoat of shining
leather. And prehistoric seems to me
an excellent characterization of these
new fads of fashion. Made on the
lines of the ordinary waistcoat, and
some with high collars, they seem
quite the right finishing touch for the
spring suit that has aspirations to be
called unusual.
More demure and dainty are the
rather stiff and clean-cut ones of or
candle. They tuck up in the tiniest
of tucks at the front and fall stub
bolnly over the collar of the suit,
because of the stiffness of the fabric.
For crisp day, the leather would
prove delightful, but for the day when
the breezes are warm the organize
would be far more acceptable.

THE HOUSE-FLY MENACE

The U. S. public health service has
just issued an illustrated 1920" pos
ter calling attention in a striking man
ner, to the dangers of the common
house fly and explaining the best
methods of destroying them.
In the center of the poster there is
vivid 4"x6" picture of fly showing
clearly the thousands of little hairs
on its body, wings and legs, which
serve so readily to collect and carry
the breeding filth which makes
this insect so dangerous to humanity.
Smaller pictures show large numbers
of flies swarming in and about out
houses, garbage pals, cuspidors, etc,
and flying thence to the bed of
sleeping infant where they drag their
nasty feet over its sweet innocent face,
befoul the nipple of its nursing bottle,
and then go from the child to the
dining room where the food and dishes
are contaminated with filth and dis
ease germs.
The poster also contains the follow
ing information and suggestions
which we feel are worthy of the con-
sideration of everyone just at this
time, in order that there may be eff
fective cooperation in the spring cam
paign for the determination of pest
that annually causes the entirely pre-
ventable loss Of more lives than the
total number of our casualties from
all causes in the world war:
"The house fly is a little insect but
great spreader of disease.
"Kill flies and save lives.
Thousands of people die every year
from diseases transmitted by flies.
The most common of these diseases
are typhoid fever, diarrhoea, dysen-
terry. tuberculosis, anthrax and cholera.
"To rid town of flies everybody
must do his bit.
"There are many kinds of flies
ALL HARMFUL.
"Flies breed in filth, feed on it, live
in it, and contaminate everything they
lay their hairy little legs on.
at is a good thing to swat, trap or
poison flies, but it is still better to
prevent their breeding:
By keeping stables clean.
By removing all manure at least
twice a week.
By keeping garbage in receptacles
with close-fitting covers, which should
be emptied and washed frequently.
BY building only fly-proof sanitary
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-03-07

privies when sewers are not available.
"The time to begin campaign
against flies is before any have been
seen in March or in April of each year.
"a pair of flies born in April may
give origin to millions by August. Do
not let these millions come into eXis-
tence. Keep the first pair from
breeding.
"Street cleanliness and immediate
destruction of all filth are the best
measures against flies.
lighthouses, homes, markets, bak-
cries, and all food establishments
should be screened against flies.
Remember, no filth, no flies, less
disease"

TO RENT OR TO BUY


There is something about owning
home that is hard to explain; some
restless fundamental craving that it
meets; some magical change it effects
in the character. 1t is inbred in US to
want an abiding place, one of our
very own.
Almost any one who can pay rent
can buy a home, and usually he can
get better house than he rents. l
do not mean that he can buy for the
same price he rents; nor that it always
figures cheaper to buy than to rent.
But the home owner gets more. The
things he is adding are the things the
renter does without.
Anyway, figures do not tell the
story. A man can show figures to
show that it is cheaper for him to pay
$50 per month than to buy a $4,000
house and pay seven per cent for the
money. 1t is-and yet if he buys the
house, nine to one, in five years he
will be worth $4,000 more than if he
had kept on renting. There are lots
of people sorry they used bad judg
ment in buying or building, but very,
very few are sorry they own their
homes.
1t does not take much money. The
trouble is, most people postpone it UNI
til they can get just exactly what they
want-and that usually puts it on the
other side of Jordan.
If you have found the place you
think you want and wish to give it the
final test, try to sell it. Get an OPP
ton at the lowest figure you can, an
agreement that the owner will sell it
to you at certain price within two
weeks. Then advertise the place for
sale at fifty dollars more than your
option, and take out every inquirer.
You will be asked questions you never
thought of and will hear objections
that you never imagined.
Is there a light on the back porch?
Are the studdings two-by-fours? Are
the ioists braced? Can mice get into
the pantry? Wy aren't the front steps
wider? Why did you ever have it
painted that color? Do you think any
body with spark of pride would live
in house just across the street from
that? If the hall had only been placed
two feet farther east, or if the fire
place was inthe other end of the room,
or if there was any place in the cham
Der for an extra folding bed, or if
the registers were in the wall instead
of the floor
Realizing the triviality of these OBJ
iections, you will be convinced that
even if it is not a dream of house
it is far better than a rented house.
You will buy it.
There may even then be some risk
there is in crossing the street or just
in living. But it is worth all the risk,
| all the economies, all the sacrifices
to have some place at the close of
every day to which you can turn, and
when you see the light in the window,
feel that peculiar thrill of at is my
own. William H. Handy in the
| March sunset.

Beaded Embroidery

Fringe, silk braid and ostrich are a
few of the trimmings that are to APP
pear on the new spring modes. Beads
of all kinds, especially in designs APP
piled on the frocks for street wear,
are the recipients of the highest fav-
or. The frock shown here has an at
tractive design on the front panel.
The other model is a unique adapta-
ton of contrasted materials. The
skirt Is gnclo maid 5hrd cmfwypgpw
skirt is long and of a comfortable
width and the basque-like blouse but
tons over at low waisinetons over at
low waistline.

GERMANY'S WORK

There is something behind this evil
dent effort to overthrow our govern
ment. Is it Germanys second and
bloodless war? The money that has
been coming into this country to pay
for bolshevism is said to come indi-
rectly from German agents. Germany
lost the war but if her malicious prop
agandists can cause few countries to
wreck themselves at small cost to her
and with no further loss of German
lives-who then will be the victor?
Are we still the dupes of Germany?
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-03-07

Palm Beach and other winter re-
sorts have confirmed the smart styles,
and as result we have bevy of in
teresting designs for the new ward
robe. Long, tight skirts were accepted
fairly well, but the American woman
has long since wanted comfort com
bined with smartness. So up go the
skirts, just as Paris said they would,
and now we are on peace terms with
the Partisan couturieres. 1t will be
remembered that that was the one
point the American woman disagreed
with. The fact that skirt could be
short and tight at the same time and
still retain grace was inconceivable to
our most radical designers. And tho
we have asquiesced it must be adj
mitted that the frock OF suit with the
tight skirt must court the ankle to
look its best.

Organdie and Taffeta

A combination of unusual interest
is that of organdies and taffeta. The
organdie is oftentimes checked or
striped and the taffeta is usually of
a contrasting color. This combination
is quaint and one must take care in
the harmony of color or the entire
effect is lost. 1t will be used extern
sively for afternoon and evening
dresses and sometimes for very formal
affairs.

Skirts of Sumptuous Drapery

Being adopts at substitution the
American designer created the draped
skirts to take the place of the long,
extremely narrow and uncomfortable
hobbies. The drapery is not limited
to any particular place, such as the
sides or back, but it may be one-sided
or looped up gracefully at the front
or pulled recklessly tight across the
front or back. Of course, tailored
models do not sponsor the drapery,
and the evening gowns are guilty of
capturing the majority of draped
skirts.
And besides, these evening gowns
that have been kept so long under
cover are now becoming real pirates
and are attracting all the attractive
features that are the newest ideas of
the designers. Lace, for instance, ap
pears as sleeves and as bodices and
everywhere from top to bottom on the
evening gown. Black lace, white lace
and metal lace of gold and silver all
claim place on the ultra-smart gown.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-03-07

One attractive frock of this combi-
nation was trimmed with gright flow
ers and the entire effect was much
akin to a garden on a bright summer
day. The somewhat summary quality
of organdie and the brightness of the
flowers lent that touch which is so es-
sential to the summer day frock.

ORGANIZE ALWAYS FINDS PLACE
Vests and Hats Developed in this Crisp Material

Though the present mode is pleas
inging, madame, like all humans, is
very apt to become quite tired of her
present wardrobe. Regardless of the
fact that the weather at the present
time is decidedly not in favor of a
spring outfit, one is tempted to wear
spring clothes just as a change.

The Point of View

You can't judge by the loudness of
a hens cackle the size of her egg,
Nor by mans vocal ability the size
of his brain.
A base drum makes more noise than
any other instrument in the band, but
there's absolutely nothing inside.

Mrs Wagner retained possession o.
her homo m Douai after coming TO
America years ago. and had sent money
back to keep il in good condition until
the war broke out in 1914. when the
Hun nverran the land, and pouai has
been the scene Of some or the worst
battles on the Flanders front, as II Is
ras. wherc some OF the worst fighting
of the war took place.
When asked by Clerk Boyd if she
could get back to Douai would she find
anybody to rebuild her home. Mrs.
Wagner said if she could find nobody
she would rebuild it herself. as she was
used TO work of that kind
Mrs. Wagner said that she might stay
over in Franco and make her future
home there in the Land where Sh" spent
her girlhood days. but the immediate
reason for her trip to the old country Is
to take care of her orphaned grandson
After everything is attended to she may
possibly come back to America and
spend her declining days with her mar

Mrs. Wagner has been in the United
States for many years and her husband,

Mrs. Wagner owned property in Bel

she may have to remain in France.
During the fourth liberty loan cam

She spoke in French and TO emphasize
her points she waved handful of allied
flags at the audience. Very few Under

but everybody knew when the Hun was

Mrs. Wagner would lift her voice to
