Strange Devices
Used in War to
Be On Exhibition

Washington, May 12.-Strange de-
vices used in war, and how Ameri-
can ingenuity is turning some of
them to peace-time uses will be
part of an educational exposition of
the Interior Department that will be
held in Washington for two weeks,
beginning May 10. The exposition,
however, will not be confined to these
exhibits, but it is planned to include
a display of the departments ramiti-
cations into the life, safety and pro-
gress of the country resulting from
the hap-hazard addition of bureaus
from time to time. The various eX-
hibits will make the exposition of
National scope.
How number of the bureaus of
the non-military department did
their bit in the war, will be shown
by the displays, revealing the de-
Velopement of a machine to detect
the presence of the enemy and spoil
his plans, the recovery of hidden
mineral treasures, needed to forge
war engines, and the improvement of
uper-poisonS. Along with these
achievements, the exposition will dis
close inventions of private American
citizens, some of which were regard
ed of such importance that the is
suanCe of patents was withheld un-
der the ban of secrecy until the
signing of the armistice.

TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX

And they frankly told Woolworth
that he was "nutty" or whatever
the slang equivalent happened to be
in the year 1879.
But, that did not discourage Wool
worth; he had been "at homo when
fate knocked in the first place and
told him to take advantage of the
bargain hunting instinct in woman
kind. Sc he began to save, a penny
at a time, to carry out his great
idea.
And when he saved he did it sanely
and intelligently; he did not starve
himself, but he stoically denied him
self everything not absolutely neces-
sary. He did not save and scrooge
one day, or week or Il month,
then blow it all in" the moment a
reckless impulse possessed aim.
He patiently saved his pennies.
one by one, to try out the scheme
to which no one would listen. And
he said in after life that the most
difficult thing in the upbuildinG of
the colossal fortune he amassed
was the saving of that first fifty
dollars, penny by penny.
This gave him the chance to back
his own hand, in very small way,
but he won-won beyond the Wild
est visions that ever came to him
when as a green country boy, just
from the farm. he entered the viii
lage dry goods store, and on a sal
airy of eight-ffty a week married
the girl who helped him make his
fortune.
Only please don't do that now;
forty years ago one could bug more
meat, potatoes and shoes Tor eight
dollars and fifty cents than one can
buy to-day.
But please do model yourself after
Woolworth to this extent: When you
have an idea for which there is a
great basic reason, like the bargain
hunting instinct in womel, do not
allow family or friends to wet
blanket it.
If fate knocks at your door with a
nugget and you see the way to
mint it into sold. hang on to it
like a life preserver in shipwreck.
And save your pennies to carry ii
out, too, if the money is not forth
coming from hopeful friends.
Omar the tentmalter said it all
when he sang: i myself am Heaven

FRANCE PLANNING
CELEBRATIONT TO
VICTORIOUS ARMY
Troops Will March Through
Streets of Paris on
July II

Paris, May 12.-Frarce's national
fete day, the fourteenth of July, VIII
witness scenes of patriotic ferVor
probably unparalleled in the history
of the republic, for that is the date
Professionally agreed upon as most
appropriate for. the grand march of
the victorious French army through
the streets of the capital.
The program is already beginning
to assume definite shape. The route
will be from the Porte Maillot, at
Boulogne, through the Arc de
Triumphe, along the Avenue des
Champs Flysees, the Place de la
Goncorde and the Rue de- Rivoli to
the Place de la Republique; dis
tance of some eight miles.
The general outlines of the scheme
of decorations have been arranged
by body called the French Fedora
ton of Modified Artists of the War
1914-191S, and a festival committee
of forty, appointed by NJ. Laferre,
minister of Public Instruction, has
approved the scheme submitted.
At the Porte Maillot, between
huge pylons, tribunes will be erected
where the city fathers will welcome
the heroes of Verdun and the
Marne. Along the Avenue de la
Grande Armee, decorative plaques
will commemorate battles, the names
of which are household words
throughout the world.
No superfluous decoration will mar
the architectural beauty of the Arc
de Triumphe, but the vast circus
where twelve noble avenues converge
will be made into one vast amphi-
theater for thousands of spectators.
Decked with n profusion of flow
ers and flags, the Avenue des Champs
Elysees will no doubt offer a magni-
ficent spectacle. A monument rep
resenting the League of Nations,
symbolizing Victory and Peace, will
be erected on the Terrasse des
Feuillants, while halfway, at the
Rond Point, another monument will
recall the glorious dead, resurrected
and joining in the triumph of the
living
The Luxor obelsk on the Place
de 10 Concordc will form the center
of an immense decorative scheme eX-
tending to the famous statues rep
resenting the chief cities of France.
The decoration of the other streets
through which the pageant will pass,
will be left in the hands of the au-
thorities of the different city wards
Regret is felt in some quarters
that by July so many of the actual
participants in the great battles will
have been demobilZed. This will
however, not detract from the fer
vent homage that will be paid to the
colors of the famous French regi-
ments which covered themselves
with glory.

Paris, May 12.-The famous Latin

National D'Rith Abraham opened
here yesterday with an address by
President Samuel Dorf, of New York,
in which he eXtolled the organization
for its war activities and in which
he pointed out the need of further
organized efforts in caring for the
men who had joined the colors upon
their return.
Mr.. Dorf praised President Will
sons efforts Ito obtain a lasting
peace, and his influential voice in
favor of an independent Palestine,
where the jews may turn with the
thought of having a state and a flag
of their own under the administra-
tion of the race that it may develop
its ideals"

1t is not dislike of the Yankees
that has forced the long haired artist
to fold up his easel and steal sadly
away to find himself u new home.
Far from that. But even a long
haired artist who, theoretically, can
live in hole in the wall, must have
at least some room to turn about in,
and moreover his pocketbook is not
so long as that of his friends from
across the ocean. So the Latin
Quarter is Americanized, and ap-
parently will remain so until Uncle
Sam calls his boys home again, when
probably the dreamer of dreams will
find his way back to his old haunts.
