RESPECT THEIR QUEEN
Bx AAsnciated Press

The Hague, October 10.-The Dutch people cling to the pageantry that sur rounds the movements of their Queen on state occasions though sturdy dem ocrats in their business life. The open ing of the Dutch Parliament exemplied this.
 This Parliament opuening isra quaint old ceremony. The Queen rides in a gilded carriage through the streets of The Hague to the old Knights Hall in Parliament square, and with her crown on her head andNher gold braided prince consort at her side, sits on her throne for once each year.
 At this ceremony the Dutch cabinet ministers are compelled by tradition to wear giddy uniforms resembling an old-time minstrel man in an admiral s hat For some reason this tradition decreed that the ministers on this sol emn occasion must wear long white duck trousers, which ntrast strangly with their tremendous black, gold and orange hats, shaped like an Inverted gravy dish.
 After this one day of pomp the min isters and members of Parliament put on their working clothes and get down to business, while the Queen, who brides herself on being a typical Dutch woman with domestic tastes, lays her crown aside for another year.
 This years ceremony had one nots at discord with it's ancient pomp. Through the crowds who watched the parade marched a number of discon- tented minor government employees of the post and telegraph department, carrying placards asking when this Parliament was going to raise theft

BUILD NEW TOWNS
Harvard Reconstruction Unit Did I'm
 portant Work In France
By Associated Press

Paris, October 1.-The Harvard re- construction unit, which came to France in July, has completed its work in the devastated regions, and many of it's members have returned to America. Con- siderable work was accomplished by the organization, which consisted of twenty five persons. The American architects planned an entirely new town to take the place of Boureuilles and a new site has been selected. This plan was drawn up by Hale Walker of Carthagena, Ohio, George Lee of Boston and Prentis5 French of Wiliiamstown, Mass. The new town plan has received the enthusiastic approval of the mayor.
 A number of the members of the mis- sion who were living at Chermont-en- Argonne, close to the point where Amer ica made it's most successful effort in the war, completed a new survey and map of that village. This work was done by Nathaniel Knowles of Philadel- phia, Joseph Hayner of Cleveland, Rupert Giddings of New York and Thomas Viii der of Cincinnati.
 While engineers were making the sur vey, six members of the unit, including Richard Sias of Coronoa, Cal, and Fred erick Blaine of Elyra, Ohio, traced property maps of the district which sur vived from the war.
 Two schools have been designed and measurements of the Church of Saint Jacques at Rheims have been complied This latter work was done under the direction Of Isadore Richmond of Boston and Myron Dassett of Minneapolis. At Somme-Py, Hale Walker co-operated with the town architect in making changes in the town plan itself while Merritt Farren and Leon Reach, both of Boston. completed drawings and plans for new town school. Other members completed survey for new water sup | ply system and sanitation plan The non-technical members of the unit were engagd for two months in construction and painting of dwellings in various parts of the devastated area.

 The procedure of occupation was symp- tcmatc of present conditions in Austria, Some months ago q group of men mostly war invalids. formally demanded this park from the government, giving notice that is their demands were not met with in a certain period they would take pos session. The demand was ignored by the authorities, so few days ago the period expired and several hundred men marched quietly to the entrance and demanded admission. The keepers swung open the gates, the men entered and staked out their claims, placing a model hut in one of the open grassed spaces s symbol of possession. It is said that 1,7Q0 fami- lies will take up claims.

Now let me tell you n little trick
shown to me by clever little New York
girl who always finds short cuts to
smart dressing. She takes discarded
hair rets--nets that have become useless
because of break in the mesh-and she
puts them into little wads and slips
them into the little roll of hair that she
arranges over her ears and fastens them
there with an invisible hairpin-one net

and invisible and by using it she does
not need to rat her hair with the
brush. which always breaks and cracks
the hairs sadly.
Today I am giving you some sketches
that will show you some of the newest
effects used by the younger girls. So
often YOU go to your hairdresser and
you have trouble in describing just what
you want done. Perhaps one of these
will furnish the working plan that will
make it possible for her to do what
you want. or if you are your own hair
dresser it will show you how other
smartly dressed young women are ar
ranging their locks.

A MERICAN women, especially in tn

A MEXICAN women, especially in the
"A smaller towns and cities, don't pay
enough attention to the way they ar
range their hair. The younger girls
are immensely interested in the propo-
sitiou. They try out new modes Of hair
arrangement, compare notes, consult
their hairdresser and often get some
really interesting effects as result.
But the chances are that when one of
these young girls comes home from col
lege or boarding school she finds her
mother still wearing her hair exactly as
she did seasons ago. She has not made
the slightest effort to vary the monot-
ony of it.
Now it is a great mistake to think
that the more mature woman should rot
attempt variety in hair arrangement.
The fact is that she is the very one who
needs variety. To be sure she need
not go in for the youthful extremes. but
she should at least add some little
change as often as she changes the mode
of her costume. This season hats arc
not made for last season S hair arrange.
ment, and vet most milliners have to
contend with the majority of women
who absolutely refuse to alter one loop
or twist or hairpin.
But we are improving in that re =
spect and in the cities you will find
any number of well dressed women who
study the mode of their coiffure quite
as carefully as they do that of their
that's. Ard the present mode permits of
all sorts of variety. There is no excuse
for hot arranging your hair becomingly.
because there are half dozen different
ways of arranging it. For your evening
coiffure YOU can do much as you like,
though for day wear you will be some
what restricted by the size and shape of
your hat. The very large coil is often
impossible because of the small head
size of many of the new hats.
The exaggerated ear puffs are for
turately thing of the past. Too many
harsh and unkind things have been said
about that mode to make it possible for
even the most enthusiastic sixteen year
old girl to cling to it longer. But the
tendency is still to wear the hair puffed
slightly over the ears. This is almost

Dear Madam-Having culled from

l ask you to solve my particular prob
lem. am the holder of several 500
bonds of the second Liberty loan, uncon :

four coupons, that were attached when
issued, clipped. Now my. query IS;
How do make application for the
other coupons? My bonds of the hrst
loan had all coupons attached.

After the fifteenth Of March, you can
take YOUR bonds to your bank, any
bank. and have them exchanged for the
other kind of bond.-the kind that has
all the coupons attached. But this can
not be done until after that date.
