French Dandies Now Addicted to
Powder Puff and Affect
Wasp Waists.

Paris.-Wasp waists for men are the
thing In Paris this spring. Corsets
may or may not be worn. but the coat
must make an elegant curve at the
waistline. A few handles r sport
ing a skirt-like flow below the waist,
but Andre lie F~ouquieres, the Beau
Brummel of the town for ten years,
declares that the smartest men must
discard the skirts and have the bot.
tom Of the coat clinging tightly around
the hips.
More startling than the masculine
waistline Is a postwar addiction by
dandies to face powder. Many men
are now using the powder puff, dab
bling themselves quite openly with tan
powder, which gives the appearance
OF trench burn to drawing room
habitues.

More Than Initial
Price Received. For
Many Motor Vehicles

London. June 5.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. )-American
army motor transport in England has
not cost the United States government
anything for machines. according t o
figures prepared at army headquarters
here. Astonishing prices have been
paid here for machines the army has
placed on auction, touring cars in
scores of instances bringing more
than the original COS even though
they have seen rather hard usage for
months.
The army purchased a number of
cars of a light popular type for $45o
as $1,000 after being used eight
months. Another machine, the aver
age purchasing price for which was
$1,OS5, has brought as much as 1880
at the auction sales. The prices bid
for touring AIRS has been absolutely
amazing, Major j.. G. Weller, head Of
the motor transport work in the
auartermaster department here, told
the Associated Press. a great deal
higher than we would have dared
asked on straight sales. -
Altogether the army had" $50 tour
ing cars, trucks, anbulances, motor
cycles and bicycles for it's work of
transporting about 1000, 900 men
through England. Only a dozen of
tnese nave Deen reserved TO be used
in the final clearing out of headquar-
tiers in London. Good prices have
been obtained for the trucks and am
balances, exceptionally good prices
when compared with what second
hand motors bring in the United
States. but the greatest demand has
been for the touring cars, motorcycles
and bicycles.
England never did build such We
hicles in quantity and during the war
none were built for private use. Now
the demand is sc great that actual
values have Been almost discarded
entirely.
Some observers place this demand
in the same category with the in
satiable desire of women for the finest
Of fnery at unprecedented prices
which eve then the shops cannot
supply, or other luxurious demands of
people who would hardly have
thought of such things before the war.

Lens AGAIN
SHOWS SIGNS
OF PROSPERITY
Three Thousand People have
Taken Homes in De-
vastated Town.

Paris. June 16.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press>-Lens, the
most thoroughly devastated town Of
the war, is showing signs of revival.
When the Associated Press corre-
spondent visited this erstwhile busy
of the Pas de Calais early this year,
it still looked as though a set of giant
sledgehammers had pounded the
whole place to atoms. To the west Of
1t lies Loos, which has the curious APP
pearance Of a ,petrif1ed sea. The soil
has been plowed up in an extraordi-
nary by thousands of poison
Gus gas bombs, which have tinged the
sparse vegetation an unhealthy ray
Before the war, Lens had 10000 in
habitants.. When the correspondent
visited the locality in it's state Of hope
less desolation, there were, only three
sturdy optimists left. who led a cave
mems existence among the ruins.
Their nearest point to get food was
Eully-Grenay. ten miles away. and
there was no transportation.
Things have been mending since.
Today. about 5000 of the exiled in
habitants have returned. They are
housed in corrugated iron hutments
formerly used by the British army.
The cleaning up of the place. begun
by Chinese and German prisoner work
squads, is taxing on more speed. The
approaches have been laid bare to
cellars n underground shelters
which have been occupied by home
less "househunters." Even building of
a sort is going on: the material used
being such d bits of wood. stone and
iron as were still serviceable in the
huge rubbish heap that once was
Lens.
In the Pas de Calais department
alone. $50 townships and villages are
in the same plight as Lens. or nearly
so. The task of making these places
fit to. live in again is a herculean one.
Labor is available in adequate num-
bers. but to lodge and feed the men
is a great problem. The latest sugges-
ton is to use covered army motor
trucks as temporary shelters for the
workers by whose efforts Lens is to
arise from its ashes.
