OBJECTED TO ANY
BUT SILK SOCKS
Williams Erratic Ways at German
Great Headquarters in Charlie
vile, France, Described By
Local Paper

Berlin, Jan. 26.-The former German
Emperor William while at the German
great headquarters in CharIeville,
France, in the world war, surrounded
himself with an army Of lackeys,
changed his uniform several times a
day and had strong objection to any
but silk socks, according to descrip-
ton of his conduct there by the editor
of the Charlevlle journal. The editor,
NJ Domelier, has Just published an &C.
count of the former emperor's conduct
at Chareyile. He says:
Everything he wore was intended to
attain the greatest effect According
to the example OF Napoleon he slept in
a simple field bed. which, however, did
not stand under tent but in won
derful villa which had every imaginable
protection against airplanes.
His fear of hiers was so great that
he constantly changed his sleeping
place and created regular steel safe
in which to sleep. In April, 1918. five
bombs fell in the nelghborhood OF the
imperial villa, and at another time the
court train was attacked. the kaiser $
chief engineer. a cook and several court
officials were killed. In the garden of
tho kaiser's villa there was an electri
cally lighted dugout with a capacity Of
30 men
Unlike his sons, the kaiser's meals
were simple. His lunch consisted Of
some roast or cold meat. and a dessert
Only on his birthday was there a bet
ter meal, such as caviar and pate de
fois gras, roast, rice, fruits, omelette
and choice wine. He usually drank
beer or a light Moselle wine.
by tearing down some Of the walls
in the villa, the kaiser had wonderful
bathroom constructed. Three of the big
trees in the neighborhoOd he chopped
down himself and distributed the wood
TO the poor families of Charleville. The
inhabitants showed no appreciation for
his kindness They asserted that he
was trying to gain their sympathes
without paying a pfennig. The women
expelled from Lille for compulsory
work he permitted TO do agricultural
work"

HOOVER FACTOR, SAYS TAFT.
He and League of Nations May Exert
Decisive Influence on Election.

Duluth. Mimi, Feb II. Herbert
Hoover and the league of nations are
likely to exert considerable, if not de
cisive, influence in the coming presiden-
tial election, former President William
Howard Taft declared here Tuesday in
political discussion with a group of
prominent Duluth citizens.
Mr. Hoover has declared that he is
with the party that supports the league
of nations" Mr.. Taft said, and should
he be nominated by the Democrats,
and the Republicans choose to make
the league an issue, Mr.. Hoover would
poll many Republican votes. I will
not go so far as TO say this situation
would result in splitting the Republi-
can party, but it might spell defeat
instead of victory for the Republicans

BRIDGEPORT WOMAN

When the stomach lacks tone, caus-

SHANGHAI HAS
SAFETY FIRST CLUB
The Single Aim of Which Is to Prevent
the Introduction of Disease Into
Foreign Households.

Shanghai, Jan. Is Shanghai has
what is called Safety First club,
the single aim of which is to prevent
the Introduction of disease into foreign
households through servants. The or
ganization is an outgrowth of activities
of st. Luke's hospital and it was
formed to enable members, in return
for fixed fees. to have their Chinese
servants examined at the hospital pc
riodically.
The need of such an institution in
Shanghai is appreciated when it IS re-
membered that the 10000 or more for
eigners are domiciled in city of more
than 2000,0 900 which has no sewers
and in which none of the ordinary safe
guards to preserve the public health
exist. Wages are. exceedingly low in
comparison with Occidental standards,
and range from So, Mexican, a month
for the coolie house boy up to prob
ably Sl5, Mexican. month for a cook.
1t is modest establishment that has
not two or more native domestic work
ers.
Leprosy in advanced stages is to be
met with in Shanghais streets, partic-
uarIy in the Chinese city, tuberculosis

die every year, tracoma Is common,
typhoid and para typhoid are ever
the social diseases are most
widespread.
The foreigner has sought to safe
guard his health by following the com
mon practice of engaging his physi.
clan by the year, under contract, and
by other means, Yet it is felt that
the door OF the foreign household has
been left open to infection by. ignoring
the condition of servants who are re-
cruited from all quarters of the com
munity and who for the most part
come from outside the limits of the
settlement that forms the
heart of the city. 1t is to deal with
this source of danger that the Safety

BIG. MARKET, FOR
AMERICAN SHOES
American Manufacturers Can Make
Large Sales in European sCoun-
tries, Provided They Have
the Shoes.

London, Feb. ll.-There is a very
extensive market in Europe for Amer
lean shoes. particularly on the CONT
nent. according to the American cham
Der of commerce III London.
The chamber has been advised by in
vestigators in that line of business
that American manufacturers can make
large sales in these countries, provided
they make up the shoes according TO
European styles. Although there IS
some talk to the contrary, the CONT
mental European public in general does
not care for the American and Eng
fish style of narrow toes and long
vamp shoes. On the other hand, the
American conservative models are said
to be excellent sellers.
The difficulties with regard to eX-
change and transportation are to be
considered, but are not a real obsta-
Gle
The sales policy recommended TO the
American manufacturers is TO place an
agent in each country or group of
countries that could be covered by q
single agent. Emphasis is laid on the
need for steady supplies and a definite
amount of stock should be required to
be carried at all times, this stock TO
be selected by the agent. Payment
could be made by letters of credit, and
the agent should be given two or three
months or longer to pay for the goods,
thus permitting him to select the most
advantageous date of payment with
regard to the rate of exchange
The comment is made, says the
chamber, that European traders in
general have lost their confidence in
the promises of American exporters,
and that the only way American shoe
exporters can develop lasting market
in foreign countries is to become i'm
porters of shoes into these countries,
either direct or indirect. In other
words, they must set up their own or
carnations, which they know will car
ry out the service traditions of their
business. or else work through a prop
erly qualified agent, who will build up
their reputation in that country.

The Art of Hanging Pictures.

we have all seen houses where the
walls look as if the pictures had been
thrown at them helterskelter and had
stuck fast Just where they Glanced to
hit" SAYS Needlecraft. This confus-
ing and by no means agreeable effect
is only noticeable in group Of small
or medium sized pictures. Large paint
ings, engravings photographers, etc,
are very easy to place to advantage
because from their very size il is pos
sible to use but few TO a room, So of
necessity they are given the dignity Of
space they need.
There are certain well defined rules
for hanging pictures that all persons
who decorate their rooms successfully
must follow. Pictures should be
appropriate in size and color to their
surroundings. Ii the space is too small.
the picture looks crowded and If it is
too large the picture is lost.
"If Won have lot of pictures TO
hang, don't scatter them all over the
walls, but arrange them in artistic
groups with restful wall spaces be-
tween the groups. Never hang
pictures in room before the furniture
il in position. First arrange vour fur
niture and then group you, pictures
over the most important furnishings
Tho easiest way 70 hang pictures salts
factorily is to hang the largest picture
first and then study the effect of the
smaller pictures grouped about it.
Small pictures should not be sus-
pended with wire or cord that shows
the supports should be invisible.

plain paper, or paper with conven-
tional neutral tinted figures of small
size, make the best background for pic
lures. In a room with a paper with
large brilliant figures no picture can
ever look well. -
