Paris Styles By MARY FENTRESS

Paris-Modern history undoubt- edly has a great influence on mod ern clothes, and the recent exhibi- tion of Gros painting has inspired Bruyere in her newest collection.
 Collars, scarves, belts and old fashioned embroidery especially show the inspiration of the Direc- torie and First Empire. The mili- tary note of that period is brought to mind with the short balero jack ct, edged in fur and trimmed with braid, that characterized the guardsmen of that period.
 The classic tailored suit for morning wear is as smart as 1t ever was and so are the simple two- piece hand-knitted jersey dresses that are trimmed with white col lars and amusing belts. Sleeves, which remain all-important this season, still are wide with rather exaggerated shoulders. TunicS are popular here and are shown with belts or without. In the latter case, the materil is draped and tied at the waist to keep the fitted silhouette.
 Fur is used extravagantly at this house, either as trimming or as an entire coat, cape or jacket. There, as everywhere, beaver. astrakhan, seal and ermine are shown the most although silver fox still is popular. Fur is used this season in direct color contrast to the coat or dress it trims.
 Two evening silhouettes are seen tall and straight and slender, or with enormously wide, full skirts which sometimes are continued into train in back.

 In today's hand, Cyril E. Hep burn, of Philadelphia, accom- plished this result, not with any aid from the defending players. but simply by playing his cards with perfect skill.
 Hepburn, sitting in the South, was proud of his good-looking hand, and even though his partner had responded with the discouraging no trump bid, he still felt that his hand was strong enough to justify the semi-force of three spades over

INTERESTING SKETCHES

How many persons have been
driven quite or almost cuckoo by
1.-The Music Goes Round and
Around" cannot be said by this
writer who is more or less cuckoo
from hearing 1t. The other eve
ming, after listening to one orches-
ira play it three times, he moved
on, heard it played twice by anoth-
er band and moved on again. Then
Ray Watson, as a special favor,
sang it for him. Your correspond
ent judged it good time to call it
a night and go home. He turned
on the radio and-well, you guessed
it. Young women in this office, 9TH
erwise highly estimable and in fact
charming, go around singing it and
for young man secretary who has
an excellent voice and is a right
guy in all other ways, gives it a
working out during the luncheon
hour. It's just one of those things.
1t got started and jumped right into
a smash hit. No less an authority
than Variety predicts that its to-
tai sales will exceed those of that
bit Of insanity of a dozen years
back, "Yes, We Have No Bananas" !"
No wonder this goofy song is
getting so many that way. 1t had
a goofy start-on the word of Mike
Riley, a sandy-haired trombonist.
Some time ago, Riley picked up a
silly looking horn in a Pittsburgh
hockshop. One night, he took it up
to the Onyx club. A young woman
who had been doing too much dali
lying with snickering catsup, asked
him how he played it. Mike told
her he pushed the middle key down
and the music went round and
around. "Ho-o-o-o-ooo," walled the
woozy miss. Eddy Farley, Riley's
partner. got the idea of a song. So
Riley wrote 1t assisted by Farley
and Red" Hodgson. At first they
didn't think they had much. But
when people got to singing 1t, Riley
sent buck to Washington and got
a copyright. Thus a hit based on
an inquiry by a souse.
The next step was three-cOr-
nered contract with a publisher.
Each piece of sheet music sold
brings Riley, Farley and Hodgson
a cent. Each orchestration brings
each two cents. Also they split one
third of the profits from phono-
graph records. In one day in New

Causes of World War

There were several causes for
the World War. One of those was
treaty alliances. Each country
had made secret alliances with one
another and when the war broke
out each country was tied up with
treaties. To the Triple Alliance
belonged Germany, Austria, Hun
gary and Italy. England, France,
and Russia belonged to a different
alliance fighting against the other
countries.
A second cause for the war was
militarism- Each country had a
larger army and navy. They were
better equipped and had more
training. Some countries had an
autocracy while others had de
mocracy. We fought on the side
for democracy.
A third cause was nationaliSm.
Each country took a different at
titude toward each other. Prob
ably some were against each other
because of trade, manufacture.
etc. A country's feelings depend
ed a great deal on its decision on
going to war.
A fourth cause was economic
imperialism. This had to do with
a country's trade. One trades with
another thus connecting one coun-
try's ways with another. While
one is dealing with trade many
tricks can be played on each other.
The fifth cause, the last but not
the least, delt with the newspaper
press. Before the United States
entered the World War, she receiv-
ed her newspaper through Eng
land. Here, many horrible, un-
truthful stories were written. OF
course, when we read them we be-
lieved them. Many of the inhab-
itants of the United States were
born in the European countries or
were of that descent. This, of
course, also made it difficult to
convince the United States not to
go to war.

of that sort are allowed to be kept
in town. No expectorating is al
lowed in public places; this helps
to prevent disease. The hospitals,
homes, schols, and public buildings
are made now sanitary by the use
of disinfectives and better methods
of cleaning. Health boards and
commissioners are sent around to
see that no person in the schools
or the communities have diseases
that are contagious and are as yet
not staying at home to prevent
other people from getting them.
These are only a few of the
many new ways of sanitation. If
everyone did his part there would
probably be much less disease.

SAGAS OF THE SKIES

TyELEGRAPH, telephone and radio
i are common channels of, CON-
munication of the modern world.
But in the far north, the bush
telegraph" still survives. This is
the primitive method of passing in
formation along from mouth to
mouth until at last it reaches civili-
Zation.
BY this method of communication
word came one February afternoon
to the station of the Provincial Air
Service at Sioux Lockout in north
western Ontario that a man was
critically ill at Fort Hope, far down
the Albany river near James bay,
which is the lower end of Hudson
bay. The factor. at the little trad
ing post was asking for immediate
aid.
In winter the north is not the
friendly land of summer but a
frozen silence. Flying is hazardous
under the best of weather condi-
tions. That February day storm
warnings had been up all along the
outpost line. But, weighed in the
balance against a human life, these
warnings couldn't deter Pilot Eddie
Waller. His ski-shod plane was
ready on the snow-covered lake.
In few minutes he was aboard.
With wave Of hand to his me-
chanics he took on into the cloud
buttressed sky of the north.

ANOTHER WILMINGTON DAY
The Spring Event of Chamber O
Commerce Set For MAY 18th

Under the auspices of the Mer-
camille Section of the Chamber Of
Commerce, the official Spring
Wilmington Day" will be held in
that city on Wednesday, May 13.
in which observance all Whining
ton stores will cooperate for the
benefit of their customers in all
parts of the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula
and adjacent counties of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey. The spons-
ors are arranging for the widest
and best observance of the day
since these semi-annuaI events
were inaugurated several years
ago. Every possible step has been
taken by Wilmington merchants to
insure the most attractive and
economical purchasing event which
has been offered to housewives of
i the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula and ad-
jacent counties in Maryland, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey for many
years. Stores handling every char
acter of merchandise are cooperat-
ing to make the"Wilmington Day
one that long will be remembered
by the thrifty, discriminating buy
er. In every line of retail mer-
cvhandise, including staple articles
for home use, clothing and miscel-
laneous articles required by every
member of family, and through
the whole generality of merchan-
| disc need for any and every pur-
pose, the mercahnts of Wilmington
have made the most thorough ef-
forts to provide their stores with
goods of all descriptions which,
based on their years of experience,
best will furnish economically,
completely and satisfactorily any
requirements of the visiting throng
of Shoppers which past records
show win take advantage of this
special day in the Wilmington
stores. Wilmington merchants are
stressing the fact that this is not
an occasion when special merchan-
disc is being displayed for a spec
ial event. but that the same mer-
chandise which is displayed in
their stores the day previous and
the day after this Wilmington
Day." will be offered at real, bar
gain prices, There will be but one
Wilmington Day. this Spring, af-
ter and before which regular pric-
.es will prevail. Through the court
esy of the Department of Public
Safety, parking coupons are being
printed in this and other papers
extending the courtesies of the Pc
lice Bureau to visiting shoppers
who come by motor. The courtesy
coupon should be clipped and affix-
ed prominently on motor cars. The
widest possible publicity is being
given the event in newspapers and
other channels throughout the
Peninsula, and, by reason of the
number of visitors expected, mer-
chants are emphasizing the neces-
sity and advantage of early shop
ping.
