 MOST SUCCESSFUL EVENT

At least 200 attended the an nual blowout given by the Doug las Volunteer Fire Department Sat urday night, making it one of the most successful affairs of the kind yet given. Many were the praises heard on all sides for the fine din- ner provided and the getting to- gether of such a good meal and serving so many was a credit to those having charge of that part Of the entertainment.
 For the card playing every table that the Eagles hall could accom- modate, was engaged in play. The prize winners were Mrs. Anton Africh and Hugh McRae first priz- es, and Mrs. Rose Davis and Lloyd Guerin. Refreshments followed the cards.
 Especially enjoyed was the dance which lasted until o'clock in the morning. Not for months was the Eagles hall been so well filled at a dance and the music furnished by Messrs. King, Niemi and Niemi, was all that could be desired.
 The Bremen are especially ap- preciative of the efforts of those who assisted in the kitchen and for the liberal patronage.

Buelow would be appointed perma- nent Ambassador to Italy by the German government. Plans had been made for his arrival in Romu when it was published there that his presence was undesirable, ana he remained in Switzerland
 Bitter Critic
 Prince von Buelow was bitter critic of pr. von Bethmann Holl- veg the war Chancellor. He de- Ilied that the declaration of war was inevitable" In sketching his own career as Chancellor, he told how he was able to avoid war and said that von Bethmann Hollweg lacked political art"
 During the grave weeks before the conflict" he wrote, serious psychological, diplomatic and po- litical mistakes were made by Ger riany's political leaders which were tnjustly attributed to the people. [" In the early stages of the war von Buelow made several efforts to bring about peace, when it was seen that the Central Powers could not win.
 Visits Monasteries
 When he was sent to Rome in 1914 by the former Emperor he succeeded in delaying for months Italy's declaration of war on Aus tria. Called to Switzerland ostcn- sibly by the illness of his wife, he paid frequent visits to monastery in the Canton of Grigioni, where a number of Jesuits of German ori- gin were stationed. It was later revealed that the object of von Bueiow's trips were to instruct the monks to act in concert in petition ing the Pope to take steps to bring about peace Von Buelow visited other monasteries for this purpose
 Prince von Buelow's wife was the former Italian Princess Maria Bec- cadelli di Bologna AS the Countess vof Doenhoff, then the wife of his chief, she eloped with von Buelow when he was an attache of the Prussian legation at Dresden. When the scandal was finally cleared, von Buelow moved from one European court to another in a diplomatic ca- pacity,

 She laughed with a touch of de- rision. s

 Reaching the street, she was just in time to catch Ray signalling 9 taxi.
 Whats all this about? Didn't know I was stepping out with a millionaire. only live a few blocks from here"
 | Broadway, at four that morning, seemed to Ray like sleepy kit ten stretching it's claws after a short but refreshing nap. As they walked Rita chatted on gaily, about herself mostly, a subject which frankly intrigued her. At the door of her apartment hotel she held out her hand.
  Its settled then that I'm to sing the 'Grievin' Blues? If you come round early to the club to- morrow night we'll try it out" Ray grinned-his old boyish grin that somehow he had forgotten of late, and as he walked home wards he found himself whistling for the first time in months.
 A friendship begun in such an unconventiona1 manner is bound to do one of two things-either tp progress rapidly or stop dead after the preliminary tryout. Theirs went ahead like smouldering hay stack.
 Ray discovered he had been lone ly for feminine companionship.
 This loneliness had demonstrated itself in growing lack of enthusi- asm for his composing But now, he found new pep infusing itself into his work and he would look forward eagerly to the moment when he could play over to Rita some melody that he had been working on during the day
 Dandy of you to give me so much of your time" Ray once re- marked. There must be crowds, of fellows who would gladly treat you to the Plaza if you gave them half chance"
 Sure there are" retorted Rita she never had suffered from lack of conceit-"but I never knew but one rich man I could take to and | he isn't in town now. Pete An- helms his name. He originated In my home town and has made a fortune out of floor lamps. Now he is in the theatrical business. tell him he might as well lose his mon l ey in that way as in any other. Next time he's in town I'll see that you meet him."
 Ray thanked her and they con- tinued their meal. The more he saw of Rita the better he liked her. Lately, when they were alone her cultivated Broadway manner had been falling from her. He found tthat beneath her apparent sophisti- cation lurked a refreshing naivete.

On the night she was to try out the "Grievin' Blues" in public, Rita was more nervous than she hac ever been before. Waiting for the call in the narrow, stuffy dressing room, she pranced about in a high state of tension, behaving in a man ner totally foreign to her. ,, But once in the center of the dance floor, she regained her con- posure-even so far as to turn to- wards the orchestra and deliber- ately catch Rays eye. A smile of mutual encouragement passed be- tween them.
 Then she started singing:
 T could not believe
 That I could ever grieue
 Until I got those grieuin grieDin
 Cause I'm leaDin blues"
 "Rita's sure hitting them to- night Better than I've ever seen her" remarked Ben, the floor man. ager, as he watched her.
 And he was right. Rita threw all her art into making that song a success and if any one knew how to get at the heart of a New York audience she did-combining pep with sob stuff in way that never failed up put her number over.
 She came to those lines:
 "Wind-l -l0ind-BloU my grieuin blues G1Day,
 Wind-lrind-BloiU my SUeetie
 back to stay."
 You could almost hear the wind whistling through the tables. After wards she danced. She was like a packet of fire crackers to which some one had suddenly lighted a fuse. The floor might have been red hot beneath her feet, for her silver sandals seemed scarcely to touch it.
 The audience stopped talking to watch her. Even the chatter of dishes seemed miraculously to have died.
 The. applause at the conclusion was gratifying, to say the least of it. She found herself lowing and lowing again; tears in her eyes, laughter on her lips. Suddenly, on a happy impulse, she sprang onto the platform and seizing Ray by the hand she pulled him right to the front of the stage.
 That got them just the right touch of sentiment, and the ap- plause intensified. Finally, to paci- fly them, she had to sing it again, and it was during this that Bar bara, accompanied by Henderson, started to descend the steps that led to the supper room.

 Obadiah helped himself to the only chair while the little botanist, his figure hidden by the farmers bulky frame, with a comprehensive glance around so much of the tent as he could see, selected an over- turned box and sat down on it.

DAYTON, Ohio, Dec 3.--A para chute by which a jumper may guide himself to a safe landing IS in prospect for arm aviators.
 Experiments wltn the new chute which is triangular instead of round as are the standard para chutcs now in use, have been go- ing on at Wright field here for more than year in charge of Maj. E. L. Hoffman, it's designer. It is expected to be adopted for army use if the tests are complet- ed to the satisfaction of army of ficials.
 Two corners of the triangular mainSail are rounded, while the third is sheared off straight. This latter corner has no shrouds and when the parachute is in use it forms vent to release air and propel the chute horizontally at a speed of three or four miles an hour.
 By manipulation of the shroud lines jumper may turn the para chute and control direction.
 Oscillation, or the swinging of the jumpers body, usual with the ordinary parachute, is cut to a minimum with the Hoffman de- sign. Shock, due to the opening of the parachute with a heavy load is minimized by an automatic vent in the apex.
 The parachute is made of the same materials and has the same area as standard army parachute
 The operation of the pilot chute which pulls the mainsail from the bag, has been made automatic eliminating the springs used IT regulation equipment.
