REJECT FRENCH GOWNS
Germany Forbids Importation
Since Occupation Of the Ruhr.

Berlin.-Frieda and Gretchen are tt
have no more Paris gowns. There arc
to be no more smart little hats brought
to Germany from the fashionable mil
dnery shops on the Place Vendome
and the Rue de la Paix.
These articles are not permitted to
cross the German boundary since the
French occupation Of the Ruhr, and
the leaders Of the German fashion In
dustry have instructed their buyers
that French models are not to be
bought either directly or indirectly.
High prices In France had prevented
German firms from buying many
models. Consequently the importa;
lions of such finery from France had
been inconsIderable as compared to
prewar times. But Berlin modistes
were slowly resuming their Paris trips
and buying limited quantities of late
creations, when the Ruhr trouble came
along and brought the general boycott
against articles made In France.
Baron Drecoll, managing director Of
said that this latest prohibition will
make little difference to Berlin de-
signers, as they have not relied directly
on Paris for their styles since the be-
ginning Of the war and have, to Z
great extent, become creators Of their
own models
"Of course, many Of our ideas como
from Paris. 1t is foolish to deny that
Paris leads In the creation Of NODES"
declared the baron. but Germany has
learned to develop Partisan sugges-
lions and adapt them. In many cases
they are greatly modified, as Partisan
designs are often too extreme for our
trade. The prohibition against the
importation Of French goods will affect
modistes and milllners only In two
lines, silk and flowers. 1t is difficult to
replace certain French silks and
flowers"
Vienna and Berlin have been work |
ing together In the development Of
modes since the beginning Of the
World war. Because Of the low ex-
change they have been successful In
developing a considerable trade for |
model gowns In the Scandinavian coun-
tries, the Balkans and central Europe. |
American and French fashion maya
lines have been the source of many
IDEAS for the German and Austrian
ashton creators. They also send their
representatives to the great watering
places on the Riviera and have little
lifflculty In keeping up with the latest
french IDEAS

German Judge Says Fair Ones Are
Severe on Own Sex.
German women. recently accorded
the right to sit on juries in criminal
cases, have shown an inclination to

menting on woman's entry into the

is composed Of the fairer sex. My ex-
perience so far has been that the
women have less mercy than men and
hold out for verdicts accordingly
Ever since Germany became re-
public and women gained the right to
the ballot, the question of permitting
them to sit on iuries has been brought
up for discussion from time to time,
as there are many opponents to the
Of women's right among
the public generally and especially In
the legal profession. It was long con-
tended that women were too tender

BRITAIN NOW NATION
or CHECK WRITER'S
Practice Helps Banks to Improve
Finance al Situation of the
Country.

The English are beginning to believe
their habit Of using checks more ana
more, and cash less and less, to pay
their way through life has been one OF
the factors in the recent squirt OF the
pound In its race to catch up with the
dollar. OF course 1t has not reached
the point where people write checks In
discriminatory, just as matter OF ma
tional pride, but all the newspapers
have been giving serious consideration
to the thought that the check writing
habit, ever becoming more common, has
helped improve the financial situation.
The idea appeared in print the other
day when the London Bankers clear
ing house announced that Of the sums
now paid into the city banks only
seven-tenths Of per cent come IN cur
rency and coin, all the rest being trans
fers OF credit by check. Not many
years ago the percentage OF cash de-
posits was several times higher than to-
day.
1t has been pointed out frequently
Of late that the use OF checks instead
OF cash allows banks usefully to en-
ploy perhaps larger sums than other
wise might be possible In piling new
stones upon the nations economic
structure
The English, 50 their newspapers
say, are more given to the check habit
than other people, and this despite the
fact that each check is taxed two
pence. A checkbook cannot be had for
the asking, as in America; 1t must be
bought and paid for. Even housewives
make general use OF checks when they
go to market, and, as many Of the
large banks have branches, there Is
usually bank within walking dis
lance Of the home. The high fees for
postal money orders make 1t cheaper
to remit by check for amounts of over
one pound, and this, too, has encour-
aged the check habit.
Psychologically some observers !
question whether the habit is good
,ne from the standpoint Of thrift, since
many people who would think twice be- /
ore spending certain sum out OF
heir pockets do not hesitate to write
