By GEORGE HITZLER

FTNHIS may be shock to the of America but,
 if properly interpreted, should instead give under A standing and comfort.
 The famous M. Paul Poiret, of Paris, is not at all dictator of women's fashions.
 He granted interview at his suite in the Ritz Carlton wanted to find out how it is that fashions arise and predo;nnate, and said him that had therefore, to recognized soNrce of authority.

 'It is not a question of my taste,,' continued NJ. Poiret "'but of mode.''
 But how does mode arise,' asked.

 In recent interviews M. Poiret quoted as saving that corsets had passed and asked whether he had been correctly quoted He replied that he had only to the od-fashio1ed stiff corset which bound in women's waists unnaturally.
 That corset, of course is gone. It was impossible and will return" he explained "The tendency is toward nauEal lines and the modern which assists to keep them is bound to stay. Women want soft corset of hygfenc character By "hygienic' M. Poiret explained that he meant corset in keeping with natures requirements.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
 Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural col

 way to get this mixture was to make

 Don't stay gray! Try it. No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an ether application or two, your hair ecomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.

DUBLIN STREWN WITH
 BULLETINS AND BULLET
By EDNA HUBER CHURCH, International News Service Staff Cor
 respondent

 Dublin Oct. 6-Ireland's war has been fought with bullets and bulle- tins.
 Evidences of both weapons are on all hands in Dublin.
 The stately Parne1 statue is diss figured with the marks of bullets and the unsightly scraps of bulletins which have been pasted all over its base. There has been and is war of propa ganda going on in Ireland-a war that it disflgur1ng the country side every bit as much as the bullets and bombs are disfiguring the beau ties of the land.
 It's curious play in psych ology, this war of propaganda In a. coun- try district, where undoubtedly the country people are played upon can be seen painted on stone walls such l p1eSsa geS as this:
 ''vote for Duffy, and the dead of l Ireland will rise up and curse you.'' | "POisonOuS Satire.'' | There is a touch of humor in this | propa ganda of war, as well. Some Of 1 the bulletins are written by humor- | ists who seek to wield a poisonous
 satirical pen to the injury lof the Free
 State. Posters are everywhere--pos- | ters protesting against the treatme ent | of irregular prisoners posters declar- | ing that the assassination of De Va | lera has been ordered, posters charg- | ing il1egitimate methods on the part l Of the Free State troops, and great
 historic and ancient buildings, mar
 the beauty of the town While the great part of the prop aganda war has been in the hands of the anti-treaty party. The Free 1 State authorities have been obIis ed
 to meet this peculiar method of war fare. At times the rival poster artists | are hot on each others arails.

Browns car was in acouision with one owned and driven by Clarence Cooper of R. F. D. No. 4 The damage was slight and when Brown produced his license in court this morning a nominal fine of S1 was imposed as a warning to keen it in his possession while driv- ing hereafter.
 Maurice Moscovitz of 1889 Howard avenue was fined $3 on a charge of parking on the wrong side of the street while the following were fined sI each charged with violation of tha parking ordinance: Fletcher Will Hams of g Laurel avenue; John Grif- fin of Newington. and George John son of 1266 State street.

Free State poster is put up, and an anti-treaty participant comes along and pulls down the Free State poster the Free State; then there is gener- ally a fast and furious race between the two factions of ,''posterites, with the result that Dublin is smeared with paste from highway to byway.
 The Provisional Government has taken no steps to restrain poster pas ters They recognize the right of free speech and a free press Only occa- sionally. when a poster incites to riot or is hagrantly seditious is the re- sponsible person brought up and called to book.
 Every method of warfare becomes routine after a while, however, and just as the citizens of Dublin have become used to bullets, so have they become used to bulletins.

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Good times
have returned to the American farm
ers, according to Eugene Meyer, Jr.,
managing director of the War Finance
Corporation, who has just returned to
Washington from a trip through the
agricultural and livestock sections OF
the United States, as far as the Pa
cif1c coast.
The trip was made in order that he
might make a first-hand investigation
of conditions and report to the presi-
dent. In his report his conclusions are
that "the severe and unprecedented
depression which dealt such blow to
the agricultural interests is II some
sections of the country thing of the
past; in other sections it is rapidly
passing and everywhere hope and
confidence are taking the place of dis
pair which six months ago was so
widely prevalent"
Banks Carry Farmers
The work of the War Finance Cor
poration in enabling the smaller banks
to carry their farmer customers for a
longer period has been vital factor
in stopping forced liquidation Funds

quately taking care of the needs OF
the farmers. There is a noteworthy

RED CROSS TAKES UP
RELIEF OF REFUGEES
IN FLOODED AREAS
(Bv Associated Press,

NEW ORLEANS, May 3.-Threat-
ening conditions in the flooded areas
of the Atchafalaya river section,
where it is estimated 5000 persons
already have been made homeless by
backwater through its tributaries
overspreading large areas in the up
per basin, were being investigated to-
day by Red Cross officials.
The volume of water is being aug
mented by the flood waters coming
through Avoyeles parish from the
break in the levee near Ferriday, La,
and the pressure is said to be threat
ening the levees at a number of
points in the lower basin of the river,
especially at Melville.
The food situation in the refuge
camps for the flooded areas in Con-
cordia, Catahoula and Tensas par
ishes of louisiana had been relieved
today with the arrival at Rhiehart,
La, of Provisions sufficient to pro-
vide six thousand persons for 10 days.
The food shortage also has been re-
lieved in LaSalle parish with the ar
rival of provisions from Alexandria,
La.
Relief organizations continued to-
day their efforts to rescue marooned
families in mississippi and Louisiana,
where many who preferred to remain
in their flooGed houses are now suffer

The congressional delegation which
is making an observation tour of the
flood districts was scheduled to make
the trip by rail today from Greenville
to Vicksburg, Miss. through a section
largely covered by backwater coming
in through an incompleted strip of the
levee between the two cities.
