Parisienne Figure
BY BETTY WAY.

BY BETTY WAY.
have just recently returned
from a trip through all the i'm.
portant countries Of Europe. l
was in Paris the fore part Of July
and again the last of August. The
fall and winter styles had been
created. The forerunners Of these
styles were already to be seen
on the street, in the cafes and
theaters.
The short skirt has passed, no
matter how much some may re-
gret it. Those who do not lower
the skirt several inches will soon
be entirely out of style. This is
of more than passing interest to
the corsetiere. 1t means that
women who could do without
corsets when wearing q short
skirt cannot do so with the
longer skirt. Furthermore, q
young girl may get along with
out a corset for one or two sea-
sons and not notice any serious
results thereafter in following
the styles, but if she continues to
SO neglect herself she is sure to
regret it the rest of her life.
The foregoing is true of the
Parisienne woman, who the past
season has given herself up to
the uncorseted figure and rubber
corsets until she finds her petite
figure of slender dimensions is
gone. Something must be done
at once. What? She wants to
regain her former lines and still
not sacrifice her comfort.
To do this she is adopting a
well designed garment lightly
boned, which will mold the fig.
ure and give poise Of body. This
feature is most important if she
is going to regain her youthful
lines.
Just here I would like to EN-.
phasize the importance of the
standing position and point out
that the model selected should
have its purchase at the point
most needed to help get proper
poise.
The silhouette continues to be
fiat in the back, straight hip, and
low bust. To accomplish the de-
sired effect, models are shown
:. eliminating the front hose sup.
porters, which give the oppor.
tunity of attaching them to the
side.back, or directly center back.
This arrangement of garters, as
well as the new way Of purchas-
ing the garment on the body,
keeps it from riding up even on
figures inclined to heavy hips or
swayhacks.
/ do not consider these mod.
els extreme, but real corrective
garments.
The foundation lines are com.
pleted by the fitting of the bras
siere. Parisienne women have al.
ready heightened their skirts and
gone back to corsets as de.
seribed.

portance has been placed upon
the garments made for the school
and college girl. I am featuring

Directly to the rear of the dining
room is the kitchen, modelled along
the very latest ideas of home building
in that it is small, compact but COM
plete in all details. The large awk-
ward kitchen has no place in the mod
ern home. They only mean extra
work for the housewife because of
their size. A small pantry is built off
one corner of the kitchen. A modern
bathroom completes the floor plan ar
rangement.
1t is obvious that an attractive home
like this will appeal to many families
who are planning on building home
Of their own, not only because of its
picturesque appearance and charming
interior arrangement, but because of
its reasonableness in cost It is free
from any feeling Of crowding, and
wonderful place for children. What
most homeseekers need Is the stimu-
lus to make their ambitions a reality,
and certainly a home like this will do
much toward bringing this result
about.

AN ELEVEN BILLION DOuap
LOAD

What is the matter with the American
peoples cost of living2 What ia tha
matter with the American peopIe's in
dusJry and business2 What is the mat
ter with the American peoples iobs2
Well, for instance:
The tax which the American people
are paying into the United States Treas
ury to conduct the United States Gov
eminent, which is still on a war initiation
basis, is, in round numbers, five billions
of dollars year.
The tax which the American people
are paying to the railroads, which are
still on a war Initiation basis, to trans
port the articles they use and the COM
modltles they consume is, in round num-
bers, SIX billions of dollars d year.
On Just those two items alone, there
fore, each of them hitting the publc's
pocket squarely and bly,, there
is tax of eleven billions of dollars la
year.
Eleven billions of dollars a year is an
average charge of about S11O year
against every man, woman and child in
the United States. By the Federal CEN
sus estimate of an average of five persons
to family, eleven billions of dollars a
year is an average charge of $3.50 against
every family in the United States. Just
think of it! An average family charge
of $3.50 year for only national Govern
ment and railroad charges
The American people who foot all the
bills for everything cannot stand a load
of $500 year to the family from Gov
eminent and railroad charges alone on
top of all the other charges they have to
carry. American industry cannot be-
come active and buoyant again when the
American public, which must support
American industry, is so overloaded with
Government and railroad taxes.
These war initiation charges against the
public are largely due, both with the
Government and with the railroads, to
war initiation labor costs. The national
Government costs of doing business must
be cut to the bone SO that the tax bur-
dens it piles upon the public may be
lightened. The railroads cost of doing
business must be cut to the bone so that
the tax burdens they pile upon the public
may be lightened.
But the task of cutting operating costs
must begin with cutting war initiation
la Dor costs. Then normal industry and
business will get chance-N. Y. Her.

homes being erected to house them is
sadly inadequate. 1t is estimated
there are a million homes short in the

uppermost in the thoughts of most
families today is the question of home
where they are going to live-how
much it will cost-and will they be able
to pay. Thousands are practically fac
ing eviction upon the expiration of
their present leases in May Their
rents have been raised to point
where they can no longer pay and
live, SO they must move. Consequent
~ they are in a nerve-racking diem
ma. The possibility of their getting
a new hat at reasonable rate is very
slim and they are confronted with a
situation that demands considerable
thought and worry Many of them
are turning to a sure source of relief,
buying home. In a home of their
own their worries over rents, land
lords, leases, etc, cease. They become
independent citizens of a community
not wandering nomads and teat dwell
lers. And this can be done at less
monthly outlay than if they attempted
to rent an apartment.

HERE IS A BARGAIN

Owing to my ill health, l will sell at
my residence in Perry, Maine, according
to the governments survey, one plush
raspberry cow, age sixteen years. She
is of undoubted courage and gives milk
frequently. She will not kick, except
when being MIXED. To the man who
does not fear death in any form, she
would be a great boon. She is very
much attached to her present home with
stay chain, but sheiwill be sold to any,
one who will agree to treat her right.
She is one-fourth Shorthorn and three
quarters hyena. l will also throw IN a
double barrel shot gun which goes with
her. In May she usually goes away for
week or two and returns with tall,
red calf with wobbly legs. Her name is
Rose. l would rather sell her to a nom
resident, the farther away the better.
The price is right. If you are interested

American Legion Notes

Instances where the American Legion
has lent helping hand in times of cat.

tine of civil life are reported almost daily
to national headquarters
Between 5000 and 1000 maple trees
are to be planted along the Lincoln high
way in st. Joseph and Laporte counties
IN Indiana, as memorial to the soldiers
from the two counties who lost their
lives in the World War. The planting
will be in charge of the American Legion
Posts at South Bend and Laporte.
"The charge has been made that the
Legion was capitalistic institution, but
its very composition is enough to prove
that such an accusation is absolutely
baseless. The Legion's big job at the
present time is to win decent treatment
for several thousand disabled veterans
and to provide employment for approx.
mately 400, 900 more who are now jobless.
Nothing very capitalistic about that pro.
gram, is there2"
Texas and Arkansas Legion members
assisted in the recovery of 100 bodies of
victims of the recent Texas tornado as
well as carrying on relief work among
the survivors. The Williams Post of the

Hamlet Not Altogether Creation Of
the Brain of the Greatest Of
English Writers.

Hamlet, the hero of Shakespeares
most famous tragedy, Is a parsonage
who appears in history, yet is half
NEUROLOGICAL, but has been trans
formed by the genius of the English
poet into one of the most dominating
figures Of literature. 1t Is allowed
that Shakespeare's Hamlet was sug-
gested by the Hamlet, or Amleth, of
Saxo Grammaticus. The latter's His
tory of Denmark" had been published
ir Paris in 1914. Francois de Belle
forest included the tale of Hamleth
in his Tragic Histories" I57O), an
English translation of which appeared
in 1908. Shakespeare's drama was
written earlier than this last date and
must have derived its plot either from
DE Belleforest's work or translation
executed before the end of the Six
teenth century, unless the poet, who,
it is known, was great reader of
histories, took the incident direct from
SaXo EXAMINATIONS.
According TO the Danish historian.

KILLING THE GOOSE.

High freight rates mean a narrower
distribution and, coupled with large
crops, mean low prices. Freight rates
are now so high that Maine has not been
able to compete for potato seed business
in Texas and other parts of the South
Texas farmers paid good price for their
seed this year, about SIS per sack, but the
freight from Aroostook to Texas is now
$3.50 barrel. This leaves the grower
$l.6l. sacked and loaded, for 1865 pound
sack. i feel that the railroads are find
ing that in raising their rates so high,
they have "killed the goose that laid the
golden egg" for what is true of potatoes
is equally true of other farm products,
and the railroad tonnage is falling off
very fast. Guy C. Porter, Sales Mana
