To Enforce Dry Act.

Shreveport, La.-Law officers in this
section of the State are arranging to
rigidly enforce the act passed at the
recent session of the Legislature which
prohibits the manufacture and sale Of
intoxicating liquor for beverage pur.
poses. The new act became operative
at noon December 9. Bootleggers and
makers of white lightning" have for
months been doing a thriving business
in this part of the country, due mainly
to the absence Of any State law that
would deal with them effectively.

LIKE THE OvERsKIRT BLOUSE
Stout Women Will Never Give Up
Tunic-SoIution of Separate Skirt
and Waist Problem.

The stout woman will never give
up the tunic Of overskirt blouse. 1t is
the solution Of the separate skirt and
waist problem for her. Few of the
new blouses cannot be worn by her,
but better lines result If she chooses
the blouse that is slightly longer than
the hip-length MILDLY styles, as this,
If it contrasts with the skirt, is apt
to emphasize hip breadth when it is
not wanted.
For evening the large woman is al
most unlimited in her choice Of gowns.
The new dyed laces can be used for
her providing she does not get them
too f1uffy-ruffly in character. Low
draped effects, apron tunics and COM
binations with straight lines of satin
will harmonic them with her figure.
Thus she may choose a navy satin
with an apron front and back of
black net embroidered in crystal. The
modest decollete is U-shaped, and
while the satin remains smooth and
untrimmed at the neck and shoulders,
full overblouse of the net falls to
low waistline in front, giving to the
satin a bolero appearance. Short
sleeves are of the net, also the close
ly-folded girdle, which ties in a fluffy
bow. at the side.

Scylla and Charybdis, but mariners
familiar with the perils of the rocks
on the Italian side of the straits and
with the strong eddies near the har-
Dor of Messina, saw in the mythical
monsters an explanation of such dam

horrible creature with six heads and
a dozen feet, who barked like a dog.
She dwelt in a lofty cave from which
she rushed whenever a ship tried to
pass beneath, and she would snatch
the unlucky seamen from the rigging
or as they stood at the helm endeav-
Oring to guide their vessels through
the perilOus passage. Charybdis dwelt

COAT-FROCK IS MODE
Garment Can Be Relied Upon to
Do Long Service.
Wrap May Be Worn over 1t on Cold
Days; Stole Later, Then Just
by Itself.

In the very earliest days of the new
year when crocuses begin to poke their
yellow noses through the brown earth,
and the air blows fresh and clean
with a promise of good things to come,
we feel a keen desire to throw aside
our heavy wraps Of winter and to
walk abroad, in the pale sunlight, un-
encumbered by their weight. We shall
still need to be warmly clothed, and
for this season we shall probably find
ourselves considering some of the
beautifully warm and light woolen
materials, with which the shops are
crowded, with a view to purchasing
a new coat-frock.
For a coat-frock, at this season Of
the year, observes a writer in the
Christian Science Monitor, may well
be regarded as an absolutely safe in
vestment, one that can be relied upon
to do us good service for many months
to come. On the coolest days we can
always wear a wrap over it and theI
when things warm up a little 1t cal

and later on In the year, Of course,
just by itself.
The latest expression of the coat
frock is that which is carried out in
two wooden materials, the one plain
such as duvetyn or velours de laine,
and the other a wool brocade. Some
of these latter have the pattern all
worked out in one color, and the more
attractive are those which combine
two or three harmonizing colors, and
when used in combination with a

MALMEDY: WALLOON ISLE
RELINOUISHED BY
PRUSSIA

In patching together the picture puZ-
zle of European nations to fit more
nearly racial and historical units the
peace conference commission on Bel
gian claims approved Belgium's de-
mand for Malmedy.
Malmedy long formed one of those
alien racial clusters that seem to cling
like barnacles to many a European
boundary line.
In the case of Malmedy and the
region about that town a group or
Walloons was left in Rhenish Prus-
sia when the historic Benedictine Abb
bey of Stavelot-Malmedy was cut in
two in 1915. Malmedy fell to Prus-
Sia, while six miles to the west, across
the pre-war Belgian border, is Stave-
lot.
The latter town was the seat of the
abbey which was Independent until
the Luneville peace of 1901. The ab-
bey fell to France until its partition
IA years later. The abbey was found
ed in the Seventh century and later
its abbots ranked as princes. They
ruled many small villages along the
Ambleve, On which Stavelot is stu
ated, and along the Warche, which
flows through Malmedy.
Charles Martel, grandfather of Char
lemagne, who ruled the Franks while
he let their kings reign on, won a de-
cisive victory over Neustria at Stave-
lot 1900 years ago.
Malmedy lies in a pretty valley of
the aforementioned river, 20 miles
south of Aix-la-Chapelle. The town
had less than 5000 population before
the war. Dyeing, paper-making and
tanning were its industries.
The term Walloon is used to desig-
nate those Belgians who speak either
French or a French dialect. The Wal
looms Of Belgium desired Malmedy's
restoration for lingual as well as for
sentimental reasons. In Liege and Ma
mur a movement for the revival of Wal
loon as a literary language-for it had
been so used until about the fifteenth
century-was well under way when the
war began. In the midst of German
speaking neighbors Malmedy and its
environs preserved the old Walloon
dialect, whereas among many Belgian
WalIoOns it has been supplanted by
pure French.
