and January, 1921. Germany collected
without effort $4,000, 100000 marks in
taxes. including the relatively insight
icant sum 100000. 900 in indirect
taxes. Germany offers as proof OF her
poverty a railroad deficit of 16,000,-

show that in the current year
this deficit will be only 5000 900, 600.

WILSON DAM WORK
IS SLOWING DOWN;

Force Is Being Rapidly Re-
duced and Volume of Con-
StruCtion Is SmaII-Flor-

Florence. March 26.-(Speeial.)-
The force at Wilson dam has been
greatly reduced during the past ten
days. and it now appears that con-
struction work on the huge project
will be stopped by the government
about May l.
The organization is fast breaking up,
and those in charge nave only planned
to pour concreteS until the present
supply of sand, gravel and cement is
exhaused, and then shut down the
works, and park the engines, cars and
other rolling stock until further no.
tice is received from the chief of engi-
neers at Washington. Splendid pros.
ress is being made with the force now
at work there, and with the advent OF
pretty weather the construction force
las broken the record in the matter of
pouring concrete, using in the ma
sonry of the dam. There is also some
drilling and blasting of limestone go
ing on at this time, but which work
is not being done on SO large a scale
as it was 80 days ago.
The business men of this city al
ready have felt the effect of the re-
duction in forces, which means a
smaller pay roll, but the business men
of the community still feel hopeful
that the extraordinary session of Con-
gress will make an appropriation so
that work may be resumed at the dam
within the next few months There
are now about 1000 men at the dam,
but within three or four weeks there
will perhaps only be 500 or 600 men
there.

WooIen Goods Well Liked for Suits and Lightweight Coats - Hand Embroidery Is in the
 Limelight.

The making of women's clothes con
 stitutes the third largest industry ir the world. The uninitiated may speak lightly of fashion, but nevertheless writes a fashion authority, it is big ger and more important subject, wield ing a more widespread influence than most people realize. One of the strongest branches of fashions tree is fabrics. For long time this was only a slender twig.
 Then it suddenly began to grow and in a very short period of time convert it's development into amazing proportions. Designers now delight to lavish their best efforts on textiles, for here their art finds unlimited scope. Woolens, silks or cottons- any one taken separately is no small subject today.
 Rodier, the great French maker of fabrics, is one whose genius apparent ly never flags. During the months di- rectly following the recent war, when the difficulty of getting raw materials and workers was almost insurmOunt- able his work continued. Weavers of cloths worked out of doors in France amid the ruins of their factories, and the things that they produced were little short of marvellous.
 One might have expected the mer- chandise turned out under such con ditions 10 be plain and uninteresting On the contrary, the charm of color and the originality of pattern were very great. ROdier's new spring and summer materials, which are more beautiful than any he has hitherto made, although his fabrics always have stood for the unusual in both pattern and weave, are being lavish ly employed in the models brought out by the greatest French dress makers.
 PopeIabuIe Much Like FopIin.
 An interesting new woOlen well liked for suits and lightweight coats is called pOpelabule., In weave it is very like Old-fashioned poplin, the only difference being that it is softer It might be said to combine the char acteristics of flannel and poplin. Bernard and Beer, two French mak- CTS famous for their suits and coats, are making extensive use of this.
 Popelabule comes in IT shades. There are wonderful reds, soft, dull greens and enough browns and tans to please all tastes. Among the light l CT shades there is a greenish blue and
