Protecting Upholstery

In days of old, Beau Brummells
with oiled hair were pretty hard on
fine upholstered furniture. And so
fastidious housekeepers made dol
lies to put over the backs of their
cherished chairs. These they called,
appropriately, tides or 'antima-
CAESARS" because men used ma
CAESAR oil on their hair).
These days men may not go in
quite so much for hair oil, but the
backs (and arms) of chairs still get
the brunt of wear. So antimacas-
sars turn up in very good society.

Cost of War Prepare
ton Scars; Third
Term Intrigues

WASHINGTON-The high
cost of the next war has en-
graved lines even in the faces
of the men at Washington
whose business it is to deal in
death-the admirals and the
generals. Although 19l7s
bills are still unpaid, killing
has become much more expen-
siye since that experiment in
mass slaughter.
The Springfields and Enfields
our doughboys toted cost s25 and
$50. respectively, whereas the new
semi-automatic Garand will set
Uncle Sam back by sS0-possibly
$50 when it goes into lsrge-sesle
production. The 1914 price of a
Springfield was only sl2.23. Be-
cause il was then fairly new
model the 1917 Browning machine
gun came higher than the present
day weapon - s275.5o as against
$3.50.
Field guns have developed ire
rnendously in efficiency and eH-
pense. The 37-milimeter affair OF
World war days could be bought
for $500. the 155 how1tzer for
$4,000. Now these types bring
5000 and $50. 900.
Army financiers, however, sug-
sest that these figures are deoep-
tive. The higher killing capacity
of the improved guns may offset
the higher prices by shortening the
conflict. But they don't issue any
guarantee TO that effect.
It's on the water and in the air
however, that the cost Of killing
has become really high Navy and
army air crops expenditures have
mounted.
