CIocks for France.

A jewelry house in Bordeaux,
France, has closed a deal with a large
manufacturing firm in New England
for an order of alarm clocks, the to-
tai purchase amounting to one-Quarter
million francs or $4S,250 at normal ex-
change. There is said to be a dearth
Of alarm clocks In France and In
French colonial possessions. This is
due to the inability of French dealers
to obtain importations from their for
mer sources of supply in enemy coun-
tries. The Bord, lux firm said 1t
placed this initial order as a means
OF ascertaining the quality Of United
States clocks and their suitability as
to price and wea for the French

The Connecticut labor press., 1919-12-13

January is the month in which most women consider their own and their family's need in undergarments, and this particular duty is not so simple now as it used to be. Two months earlier designers, manufacturers and importers must assemble underthings for women who leave for the South as soon as the holidays are over, and this exacting clientele sets the pace in the development of new ideas-and in extravaganza. This year, be 1t known, all-white underwear appears to be their choice, and 1t will therefore play the leading role, as in times long past, in the dainty drama of under muslins.
 But al1-white underthings will not hold the center of the stage all the time. Negligees have grown more pie turesque and colorful, more varied in style than ever, and the newest fad calls for hose, slippers, cap and un- derwear to match them; the match ing involves usually two cofors, so there Is no mOnotony. A house party, assembled for the morning coffee, is quite likely to rival the evening party, in gay and pretty dressing, and to prove more interesting, since one can venture a little way toward the bi- zarre in the morning and at home.

SUBSTITUTE FOR ROYAL ARMS
Placing of Cap and Bells on English Paper Was the Origin of the
 Word "Fooiscap."

Several explanations have been giv- on of the meaning of the word fools cap" as applied to a certain class of paper. One of the explanations is that when Charles I of England found his revenue short, he gt 1nted certain priv ileges, amounting to mOnOpOlies, and among these was the manufacture of paper, the exclusive right to which was sold to certain parties, who grew rich and enriched the government at the expense of those who were obliged to use the paper. At this time all English paper bore, in watermarks, the royal arms. The parliament LII der Cromwell made a jest of this law, and among other indignities to the mem ory of Charles it was ordered that the royal arms be removed from the paper and the fools cap and bells be substituted. These were in their turn removed when the Rump parliament was dismissed, but paper for the size of the parliament's journal still bears the name of "foolscap"

derwear. Italian silk, being a little heavier, is favored for petticOats, while lavender and other pastel shades ex- tend the choice in colOrs. In the mat ter of decoration, val and f1llet laces. hemstitching, embroidery and other fine stitchery, retain their unassaila- ble place in the esteem of gentleWOm- en. French knots, in light cOlOrs, sim ulate tiny flowers on much of the flesh-colored underwear, in both silk and cotton materials, and small bows or rosettes of ribbon have not lost their charm upon familiar acquaint- ance.
 Ruff1es and flounces are not so much used as heretofore, and scalloped edges are liked as a finish. But petti- coats, with deep, scant fOunces of sheer embroidery, like that pictured here, are suited to the seasons dance frocks and evening gowns. The fiounces continue to be joined to the petticoat with the wider headings car rying ribbons that end in a bow at one side.
 MedalliOns of f1llet, CT other strong lingerie lace, set about f1Ounces on petticoats, about the neck of chemise or night dresses, between small em- broidered floral designs, seem to be the most desired of all trimmings. Gus ters of fine tucks are among the time hOnOred decorations that hold their own

the contributions, find a place to as- Semble and display them and provide SaleSpeOple. When the goods are ar ranged, they are to be marked in plain figures. Usually woman's club or similar organization carries these sales through, a small per cent on the income, above expenses, going into the treasury. It is best to have only a few managerS-say a committee of three-whO can give time 70 the affair and those who have had business ex- perience, or are known to have exec utive ability, should be chosen. There are possibilities for those who sell and those who buy in a. sale of this kind. Der is that clothing and house Turnish- ings are to be sold very cheaply. Food stuffs will bring the market price.
 Another fine practice was inaugural ed during the war, and that was the conversion of old, battered silver and jewelry into bullion.
 Nearly every one possesses some old pieces that are never used and are kept, simply because they are of pre- ciouS metal or have some little senti- mental value. Probably good many dollars in many communities are wrapped up in useless trinketS. These might better be donated by their own CTS to the first deserving cause that comes along. In a good sized city the donors will be able to raise q respoc- table sum on contributions they will never miss.

Millions of people suffer year after year from ailments affecting practically every part of the body, never dreaming that their i'll health be traced directly to acid stomach. Here is the reason: poor digestion means poor noIrishment of the different organs and tissues of the body. The blood ia lmpoverished-becomes weak, thin, sluggish Ailments of many kinds spring from such conditions Biliousness, rheumatism, lurn- bago. sciatica, general weakness, loss of power and energy, headache, insomnia, nervousness. mental depression-eVen more serious ailments such as c2%S.rh and cancer of the stomach, intestinal ulcers, cirrhosis of the liver, heart trouble-au of these car often be traced directly to acid-stomach.

In the larger cities and in some of the smaller cities and towns, women have put very practical ideas into Op- eratiOn along lines that are helpful to the poorer members of the community, without making them objects of char fty We learned during the war, when drives were made for clothing for the BeIgians and French of the devastated regions, that nearly everyone had clothing that could be spared. It is almost a crime to keep garments that are not worn or needed, stored away when they might be of use to Oth- CTS WhO really need them. Therefore influential women in the larger con- munities have organized yearly sales usually cJlled "rummage sales" and they contribute to these events all kinds of c.othing-shOeS, hats. gloves, hose, underwear, as well as all outer garments. The contributions include clothing for men, women and children. The more prosperous usually donate outright what they can spare. 9th CTS ask that a selling price be put upon their articles and q certain per cent of it be returned to them.
 But clothing is not all that appears at these sales; bed coverings, furni- ture, hric-a-brac, and all sorts of household belongings find a place at the sale. If there is rO regular w0m- ans exchange, preserves and canned fruits and vegetables are sure of find ing purchasers. In fact, about every thing appears that is useful or orna- mental in the home.
 It takes a few enterprising and capable women to put over a rum mage sale or a contribution sale or ba- zaar-the name to be selected accord ing to circumstances. They must get
