SWIM TO REDUCE

According to Annette Kallermann
nothing will do more to reduce weight
than swimming. You do not have to
be an expert swimmer or even a good
swimmer All you have to do is to
swim regularly. Most experts have
theories and these theories usually
prove fallacious. Miss KeIlermanns
theories have several times undergone
a practical ~iest.
Not long ago a New York paper
challenged her idea of reduction and
to prove its practicaIity she permitted
the paper to select a subject This was
a young girl who was decidedly over
weight. In three weeks the young
girls lines became concave instead of
convex, and the skeptical New York
newspaper editoriaIly inGorsed the
kellermann theory. IrnumerabIe
stout ladies who would be otherwise
have urged Miss Kellermann to devote
part of her time to what they call
this humanitarian cause" Miss KEEL
hermann, however. says that anyone
can accomplish the results if he or
she will swim regularly.

use them they would either fail to
work or would collapse during a fight
and result in not only tie destruction
of the machines but the death of the
aviators.
No chances are being taken in this
respect for it is the requirement that
Germany must not only furnish per-
feet machines but that they must
provide aviators to demonstrate by
actual flights that the machines are
what is demanded. The wisdom of
such a course is all too apparent. Ger
many is not going to endanger the
lives of its aeronauts. That is well
understood by the allies and when it
is shown that the machines are in
working order, and not until then, are

lowed no chance to furnish defective
material and this applies to locomo
tives. railway cars and ships as wei

SMART SLIPS.

Some new slips to be worn in these
petticoatless times are made Of silver
cloth. very decollete and sleeveless,
of course. Faith, hope and a tiny
narrow ribbon across the shoulders
keep them in place. Anyway, they are
distinctly desirable, as they fall from
the shoulders to the knee and serve as
camisole and petticoat too.
One of black shadow lace will be
welcomed for wear with the fashion
able black evening gown, and one of
real Brussels lace is charming for a
white dancing frocls or for a bride.
Until the laundry situation returns
to normal the cotton crepe undergar-
ment will enjoy deserved popularity.
A camisOie and a robe de mutt of white
cotton crepe make a useful and at
traccive set. Just at the front of the
yoke of each is appliqued a pink satin
rose. Neither garment has sleeves and
both have pointed shoulders,

NOVEL Eat BAG.

A womans hat done up in a box or
paper bag is an awkward thing to
carry, especially if it is to be handled
through the crowded streets, where it
is liable to be brushed against by some
careless pedestrian.
An incident like this can knock the
style out of a piece of millinery quick
er than anything else. The hat bag
is the invention OF Philadelphia
woman who has observed the short
comings Of the ordinary methods and
she has profited by the same.
This bag is made with one fiat wall
and the other with pleats in it for the
purpose of accommodating the tower
ing part of the hat.
When the hat is slipped into its
depths one side forms a flap which
buttons over the other and q substan-
tial handle appears on the edge by
which the package may be carried in
a safe manner.

Zone OF the hardest nuts to crack at the
peace conference is involved in the request
China is making for fair play, = writes William
ALLEN White from Paris. This is understand
able China as a real factor in accomplishing
international peace is negligible. She has
neither offensive nor defensive potential
strength She has no predatory motives; she
desires only independence to order her politics,
her industry and her commerce to suit herself.
Thus her very weakness is her strength. No
one can argue that China offers any threat to
world peace IF any nation by theory and prac-
tice deserves self-determination, China does.
On the other hand China is constantly in need
iof guardianship against the predatory spirit OF
other nations; she is typical ward OF inter-
national fairness. Nor does she show internal
stability of a wholly satisfactory sort There
lis valid ground for the statement made by
more than one power that China cannot offer
sufficient security to world trade to demand
Eplace in it, without some means of outside Sc
curity. Theoretically, China is blameless and
entitled to entire independence OF regulation.
Practically she has laid herself open to the
charge of instability. She has been victim
many times and what is needed is policy that
will prevent further victmizing. The one sat
iisfactory solution would lie in a strong national
spirit and action on the part of China herself
to make good her claims.

Veterinary College.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April FL
Establishment of veterinary col
lege at the University of Illionis will
save livestock raisers of the state
several million dollars annually, ac-
cording to State Senator Simon L.
Lantz of Congerville, who has just
succeeded in getting the bill through
the upper branch of the general
assembly.
Commenting on the bill, Senator
LantZ said:
THE establishment of a veterinary
college as a part of the University
of Illinois is most important step
for the improvement OF the yeteri-
nary service available for the live
stock industry of the state. Here
tofore the problem of training yeteri-
narians has been left entirely in the
hands of private colleges and to other
states.
The veterinary college at the Uni
yersity of Illinois will be regular
department of the school, with the
same entrance qualifications as is re-
CURED for other departments. The
course will require four years and
nine months to complete It's gradu.
ates will be competent to deal with
the complex problems of disease con.
troll as they are presented on the live
stock farms of the state and in the
occasional outbreaks of serious ami
NAL plaques will constitute an in
valuable aid to the live stock sanitary
authorities.
THE value OF the live stock in
Illinois exceeds 10000. 900. The
average loss from preventable dis
eases is well above three percent or
more than $10,000.O00 annually. An
adequate force of properly trained
veterinarians Immediately available
would have cut the loss of the foot
and mouth disease epidemic to a
minimum"

what the desires of this country are
A RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.

The great war shattered a good many beliefs
and overthrow not few disbeliefs. For ex-
ample, the convoy system which many naval
men had termed impracticable. And yet Rear
Admiral Sims, commander of Americas naval
forces in European waters while this nation was
in the war, attributes to the system OF convoy
ing much of the credit for overcoming the Ger
man submarine menace and making 1T possible
to transport American troops and vital supplies
to turn the tide of war;
The achievement ever will stand as phenome-
nal Indeed it seems almost miraculous, when
all conditions and circumstances are considered
There were the German undersea craft, sent
forth with instructions to exert superhuman Ell
forts to get to and destroy ships carrying
American soldiers, for the moral effect it might
have in keeping this country from reinforcing
the allies until the German legions could crush
allied resistance in the west
It was feared and even expected that the en-
envy would succeed in sinking some transports
and perhaps in sending thousands OF brave
Americans to death on the high seas But SO
skilfully did the American and allied naval
commanders work out their scheme of convoy
ing and so vigorously were their plans execut-
ed, the result was not the loss of single Amerl-
can transport while carrying troops; and the
total loss of American fighters from the opera
lions of enemy submarines were but a few hun
dreds. 1t is record to be proud OF.

THE coLDsTREAM GUARDS.

Indianapolis News: A battalion OF
the second Coldstream guards, one
OF the most famous organizations of
the British army, consisting of thirty
six officers and $50 men, recently ar
rived in London from Cologne. The
guards left Windsor for the front
Aug. IL. 1914. and, of course, were
in the war till the finish OF the
battalion just returned not a single
officer was left, and only twenty men
survive. We have been thinking so
much OF the sufferings and losses of
France and Belgium that we have
failed to realize the terrible cost of
the war to Great Britain. The figures
set out above will serve to bring the
truth home to the minds Of all.
All over the world the British
have died for liberty and good gov
eminent. In France, Belgium, Italy.
the Balkans, Russia. Syria, Meso-
potamia, Egypt, Siberia and Africa
there are British graves. Every man
who died, died for the good cause.
Great Britain as well as France has
been tragically bereaved of it's young
manhood. The world knows how the
Britishers fought at Ypres, on the
hooAA1niO, Will luClI DdCkS 10 the
WALL against the tremendous Ger
man drive of last year, and in the
first days of the war during the re-
treat to the Marine in which pretty
nearly the whole of the old regular
army was wiped out.
The Coldstream guards were raised
by General Monk-the restorer of
Charles II to his throne-in 1859
taking their name from the little
Scottish town where the first regi-
ment was recruited In the $50 years
since the British have seen many
wars. and in many of them the Cold
streams have borne gallant part.
But never did they see such service
as in the late war. Other units no
doubt suffered as heavily. AS has
been said. practically the whole Of
the British regular army was sacri.
feed in the great campaign against
Won Kluck which saved France. But
1t is interesting to have the exact
casualties Of this famous battalion.
