PARIS GASPSAT
WEALTH IN RAGS
Trio of PIutocrats Wear Old
logs in Move to Kill OFF
Extravaganza.

PARIS, March ga spectacular
lesson has been given 10 extravagant
society women by Maurice Rothschild.
! richest banker in Europe; Edmond
Blanc. the Monte Carlo roulette king,
and Andre Fouquieres. noted as a
twentieth century Beau Brummel.
This trio astonished the fashionable
throng that overlooked the Auteuil
paddock on the occasion of the Spring
Grand PriX by appearing in old. un-
pressed. suits, with trousers frayed
at the bottoms. ".~
Never before had such striking
contrast been witnessed among the
fashionable circles assembled at the
seasons first smart meeting, where
money apparently was no object,
gambling reaching undreamed-of pro-
portions, and the extravaganza in
dress equalling that OF Babylon's
palmy days.
Extrnvnncc RfdicuIcd.
Frederick Francois Marsal. minister
of finance and reputed to be one OF
the soundest inanciers in France. is
said to be encouraging the campaign
opened by the noted trio as a means
of killing by ridicule the extreme ex-
of the postwar era.
The Marquis de Ganay is said to be
the leader of the women's section of
this novel secret society, and NJ.
Rothschild the leader of the mems
section.
The decision to adopt direct meth DDS
to stamp out extravaganza and gamb-
ling was arrived at when il became
known that many fashionable women
had been placed in an extremely pre-
cariOus situation through heavy
losses in the stock market, as a re-
suit of the temporary slump due to
the German revolution.
Stockings At 800 Per
The need of silk stockings. which
average 500 a pair; the thirst for
sponge-bath backed evening gowns
and the mad desire for flimsy tango
costumes had driven women into the
stock market with disastrous results.
The display Of pearls at Auteuil
surpassed anything seen this year and
caused observers to wonder where
such wealth is coming from. Some
women paraded about the enclosure
wearing strings of pearls worth hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, hang
ing down their bare backs in ac-
cordance with the latest fad
AS protest against the edict bar
ring displays Of silk hosiery, several
girls appeared stockingless. with the
evident = purpose of showing that
morality is bound to lose by the en-
forcement of such a law.
Bare arms, bare backs. bare legs
and clinging dress materials, empha-
sizing the outlines of the figure, con-
tinue to be the principal features of
the present FASH ons, which encourage
anything that is rich enough or un-
dressy enough, to recall or surpass
the gay days of the Directorate and
the Empress Josephine.

Civilized mans first necessity is

What is the Non-partisan League
and what are its aims?

The Nonpartisan League was or
ganized in 1915 by the farmers Of
North Dakota to obtain political con-
troll of their state to enact certain
legislation favored by farmers and
opposed by certain big business in
terests. The league which now has
members in IA states, proposes such
radical changes in government as
state-ownership of public utilities,
flour mills, grain elevators, livestock
yards, railroads, coal mines, packing
plants, etc. A. c. Townley, of ST. Paul
is president of the National Nonpar-
tisan League.
What is the new Labor Party?
1t was organized last year by la
Dor leaders of radical tendencies and
is not officially encouraged by the

Labor party, in purpose, is closely al
lied to the committee of 48 and the

this: Suppose you have field solid
ly set in nutgrass and suppose that
by letting that field lie fallow for one
year the nutgrass would be absolute
ly. destroyed? Do you think any
sane person would refuse to let that
field lie fallow for one year? OF
course not. Then why not act on
that principle in the case of the boil
weevil and the pink boil worm, and
thus put an end at once to this en-
emy of the entire people. This plan
is suggested on the idea that the
weevil will die in the absence of the
cotton plant.
This cannot be a sectional or local
matter for, strange as it NAV seem to
some, people who live out of the
South have to wear clothes too, that
is l guess they do, though l have

ignorance anI say it can't be CON

Now is the op~ortune time to take
this step, if ever, because the South
could get something for what it
would raise for the market, and at
the same time help relieve the world
