QUEEN GETS MARVELLOUS VEIL
Belgian Lace Experts Worked on
Piece -Four Years-Desioned
by Artists.

The Queen Of the Belgians has re.
ceived from the lace and embroidery
works Of Belgian Flanders q marvel.
GUS veil. Surrounded by all the mis-
fortune and misery of war these
loyal subjects have tOiled in secret
for four long years to produce unique
piece which they offer in homage to
their queen.
Such II their devotion to their SOW
ereign.
A French publication describes the
veil-designed by the most famous
Of Belgian artists and executed by the
most expert workmen. perfect in
every detail Of mesh and motif.
Twelve thousand hours were re-
CURED In workmanship, for the veil
contains not less than $4,000. 900 points.
1t displays the almost unknown art
Of light and shade, a difficult effect
and one of rare beauty. 1t solves
for the first time, perhaps. the ques-
ton Of perspective. The entire piece
weighs but four and one-half ounces.
In the center Of the veil are the
Belgian arms, and in the four corners
Of the central panel the arms Of the
cities Of Ypres. Newport, Poperinghe
and Furnes. The four side panels
represent the industries Of weaving,
fishing. hop picking and dairying.

BANANAS MAKE BERLIN GLAD
After Five Years Absence, This Ma
tive Of the Tropics 10 Real
Symbol Of Peace.

As I was passing down the Fried
richstrasse, says correspondent of the
London Times. writing from Berlin,
my eye was caught by crowd of
people which suddenly collected in
front Of delicatessen shop.
1t was only with difficulty that one
could get near enough to see what II
was that attracted so much attention
| heard EXPLANATIONS of wonder and
admiration, and on looking a little
more closely saw-a bunch of bananas
which the shOpkeeper had just hung
up In the window and which was a
novelty to the Berliners. who for near.
~ five years have seen not a trace
OF this fruit, once so plentiful and
cheap In the capital.
The smiling faces and little Jokes
made 1t quite evident that the banana
was recognized as a symbol of peace
and that the delight felt at Its
presence was due to the evidence IL
afforded that the blockade Is a
thing Of the past.

Some Airplane Gas 10 Pink.

There is difference between auto
mobile gasoline and airplane gasoline.
For aircraft the gas must be lighter
and more volatile. that is, evaporate
more readily, than ordinary gas. This
causes 1t to work better at great alti-
tudes. There are three grades Of gas
oline for our airplanes, one for train
Ing planes, better grade OF gasoline
for bombing planes and the very best
grade for the fighting planes. flight
ing gas" as 1t Is called. Is cOlored
pink. This Is to distinguish 1t from
other grades so that inexperienced
men working at the aviation fields
will not use this valuable gasoline for
other purposes. This pink gas is as
pure as 1t can be produced, refined
and doubly refined and strained or
filtered until there are no impurities
left in it.-American Boy.

In n previous issue Of the Record
Martin Madsen's wonderful trapping
ability was commsntsd ON and IL u nor
surprising that county ofncials In Utah
ana Nevada should be astounded At the
success he has achieved. The Salt Lake
Tribune gives details Of his catch as
follows:
Joseph Ririe. state auditor. has
learned that, whereas he has questioned
the ability of Martin Sadseh Of west

days $50 coyotes and ifty-three bob
cats, this, as q matter Of fact. repre-
ssnts only one-haif the catch made by
that hunter. Because the location u
his hunting ground is SO nea- the
Utah-Nsvada line. Mr.. Madsen only
presents ons-half Of his catch for
bounty under the Utah laws. The
other half In sent to Nevada authors
ties for similar claims.
"When the claim came in a few days
ago Mr.. Ririe started an investiga-
tion. He wrote to r. H. W'nder. a
