LONDON, Feb. 6.—The Centrai News says it uncerstands Ambassador Gerard departed from Berlin today and is due in Switzerland in the course of a day. No confirmation of this report has been received. By Associated Press. BERLIN, Sunday, Feb. 4, by. wireless to Sayville (Delayed).—Although late this afternoon no official confirmation had reached Berlin that relations with the United States had been broken off, the text of President Wilson’s address to Congress removed all doubt in the minds of the general public as well as in the official world as to the exact- ness of earlier private information. Foreign Secretary Zimmermann made the following statement to the Over- seas News Agency: “We regret this measure taken by President Wilson all the more since, against .all traditions and all interna- tional law, we are cut off from all direct communication and regular intercourse with the transatlantic world. We also remember that American diplomats, dur- ing the last months and-years of the war, cared for German interests by proxy, in several hostile countries, with efficiency and great-suceessa.———.. “The text of the President's message, in the absence of other official docu- ments, has therefore, been examined most minutely. Having no réal reason for hostility to the United States, re- membering the traditional friendship which has existed between the countries practically from the first days of the United States, we naturally appreciate the words of a rather nonhostile char- acter which, among others of a different character, are found in that message as transmitted by Reuters’. “In them President Wilson gives as- surances that he wishes no ‘hostile con- . flict’ with Germany, and I can add that we appreciate this and other paragraphs in the message, joining in this respect with President Wilson’s note. “While we think to a certain extent that we can see by what reasons the United States Government was prompted to its present attitude, on the other hand, we expect that President Wilson, to the same extent, may recognize the reasons which prompted us to take our decision.”’ Berlin Shows No Hostility ‘Toward Americans There. BERLIN, Monday, Feb. 5, via. London, Feb. 6.—Whatever may be their feelings toward the United States, Germans in Berlin and, as far as has been heard, those outside the capital have manifest- ed consideration and courtesy toward Americans since the news was treceived of the breaking off of diplomatic rela- tions. Aside from an occasional frank comment on the action of the American Government, no acts of a hostile or even an unfriendly nature have been report- ed. The only difficulty reported has been that officials have refused to vise pass- ports until the hoiders can show steain- er tickets to America. The police in the main residential district, however, are accepting “return to America’’ as an adequate reason for departure, but are insisting that the customary interval of two weeks for military investigation of the application cannot be waived. Correspondents Welcome to Remain. The foreign office to which the, Amer- ican newspaper correspondents in a way are accredited, is aiding those corre- spondents who wish to depart with Am- bassador Gerard. The Foreign Office has expressed the desire to have as many .American corespondents as pos- sible remain after the departure of the Ambassador, in order to maintain unof- ficial relations between the two peoples as long as war is avoided. A verman woman who said to an American woman, standing in the same food line this morning—‘We want to show that we are not barbarians”—ap-} parently voiced the view of a vast ma- jority of Germans. The American Embassy, after Gerard's departure, will house the Spanish em- bassy and the Dutch legation, which have been intrusted with the interests, respectively, of the United States and Great Britain. Several days probably will elapse be- fore Gerard and his staff leave Ger- many. The Ambassador and Secretary Grew, with their families, will go di- rect to the United States. The attaches and those assigned to look after prison- ers and relief work will probably ale»o return to the United States. The other Secretaries will be sent to various Eu- ropean embassies and legations. Crowds at the Embassy.

PLUMBERS GATHERING MONEY HARVEST FROM COLD WEATHER Have More Work Than They Can Do at Rate of 310 a Day for Eight Hours—Materials Extra, Piumbers in St. Louis have been reap- ing a harvest as a result of the con- tinued cold weather. The sudden drop to below zero temperature caused many “leaks’’ which couldn’t await the delib- erations of an investigating committee, but called for the more practical munis- trations of the man with the blow-pipe and the soldering iron. Water pipes burst in many homes. In many causes it was necessary for househclders to wait from one day to a week for a plumber after sending .in an emergency call. Employers explained that there were not plumbers enough to go around. One householder was told it would be several weeks before the plumbers could get to his house. The prevailing rate for plumbing serv- ice is $1. an hour, or $10 for an eight- hour day. Of this the journeyman re- ceives $6 and the emplover $4. Fore- men receive $7 a day. In addition to paying for the time ‘he householder also must pay for all materials used in mak- ing repairs. MISSOURI TOWN SOLD UNDER SHERIFF'S HAMMER FOR $410 Once Prosperous Roanoke Was Ruined When Railroad Missed It and Armstrong Was Founded. FAYETTE, Mo., Feb. 6.—The town of Roanoke, standing on the boundary line between Howard and Randolph counties, was sold yesterday under a Sheriff's hammer for’$410. The property included 10 lots and three buildings. Roanoke once was one of the busiest trading places in the State, being sit- u-ted in the center of a large tobacco- producing section. The building of a railroad and the founding of the town of Armstrong on it, three miles south of Roanoke, spelled the town’s ruin, business shifting to Armstrong almost overnight. Roanoke was settled by Virginians before the Civil War. The first Confed- erate company in ventral Missouri was raised there when war between the oil was declared.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Feb. 6.—The commanding officer at Fort Leaven- worth has received an order from the War Department to stop the sale of al! kinds of intoxicating liquors at the offi- cers’ club.

S0-APPLY FOR FIRST PAPERS IN 90 MINUTES Twenty Others in Line at Natur- alization Office—Yesterday’s Record of 72 May Be Broken. Within. the first 90 minutes after the opening of the local naturalization bu- reau in the Federal building this morning, 30 declarations of intention to become American, citizens were. filed, mostly by nationals of Germany and‘ Austria-Hungary. About 20 more per- sons. were waiting in line. One of the applicants was Mrs. The- rese Sophie Warneke, a widew,--66-years4 old, of 2636 Osage #treet, who wished: to renounce her allegiance to the Kaiser. She said she has three sons, two born here and one in.Germany. The latter has taken out naturalization papers, the other two being Armerican citizens by birth. Yesterday 72 persons, mostly subjects of the central empires, filed intentions, making a record for the office. It was expected that today’s list would be long- er. M. R. Bevington, chief naturalization examiner, said that after closing hours yesterday evening 2% men, saying they were employes at the city hall, applied for first papers. They were instruct- ed to return today. Bevington said he had frequentiy been asked whether the filing of first paners makes the applicant subject to conscrip- tion for the United States army and navy. He asserted that the question was settled in the affirmative by a de- cision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court during the Civil War, in the case of a German who refused to comply with the draft on the ground that he had taken only the first step toward naturalization.

SHIP ON WHICH AMERICAN | LOST LIFE, BRITISH COLLIER I ee Report on Sinking of Eavestone by Germans Opens Possibility That Vessel Could Be Classed as Warship al By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—An official re- port of the sinking of tne steamer Eave- stone, and the illing of an’ American seaman reached the State Departme at today from Consw Frogt . at . Queens- town. The ship was ‘a prévisional Brit- ish. collier. Consul Frost’s message said: . “Provisional British collier Bavestone sunk by shell fire from German su!y»ma- rine in vicinity of Fastnet yesterday, Feb. 4. .-American negro, able seaman, Richard Wallace of Baltimore, killed during shelling of boat just after left Eavestone. Details not’ yet available ”’ Consul Frost's dispatch describing the Kavestone as a provisional collier leads to the possibility that the destroyed ves- sel might be classed as a‘warship. If at the time of the sinking the Eavestone was in Admiralty service, no possibility of trouble with Germany on that score opens up. Ambassador Page has been instructed to send on further details. In any case, officials say, it is doubt- ful if any sagt will be addressed to Berlin. American Killed in the Sinking of the Eavestone. LONDON, Feb. 6.—No addition. in- formation concerning the sinking of the British steamer Eavestone, on whicu Richard Wallace, an American seaman, was killed, has been given out, and it is not known whether the ship was try- ing to escape when she was destroye/‘!. The official statement issued last night concerning the sinking said: “Survivors of the steamship Eave- Stone, who landed today, report that their ship was sunk by shell fire from u German submarine. The crew aban- doned the sinking ship and were shelled in their boats by the submarine. “The master and three seamen were thus killed and the second mate was severely wounded. Among the killed was Richard Wallace of Baltimore.”’ Nothing Heard From Crew of Relicf Steamer Sunk Near Belgian Coast. LONDON, Feb. 6.—Nothing is yet known regarding the fate of the crew of the Belgian relief steamer Lars Kruse, a 1460-ton vessel, under Danish registry, which was sunk by a torpedo or mine near the Belgian coast yester- day. The ship touched as Las Palmas Jan. 20 and in the ordinary course would have made some British port before arriving at Rotterdam, where she was due about Feb. 10. The Lars Kruse carried the flag of the Belgian Relief Commission and was marked as arranged by the commission with the German Government. It had not received safe conduct from Ger- many, as such passports had been re- fused the relief ships by Berlin. The American commission for relief in Belgium has received no details con- cerning the sinking of the Lars Kruse. The commission for relief in Belgium is awaiting approval ty the State De- partment of the Gernian agreement tc give safe conduct to ships of the com- mission calling at Las Palmas and St. Vincent. Berlin Denies Gamma Was Sank Without Warning. LONDON, Feb. 6.—A dispatch to Reut- er’s from The Hague says: “The For- eign Office has learned that. the Dutch steamer Gamma was first shelled and then sunk by bombs. The Foreign Min- ister immediately asked @n explanation from the German Government.” Reut- er’s Amsterdam Sotrwaponeers dealing with the same case, says: “Berlin denies that the Gamma was torpedeed without warning as a result of the recent new submarine instruc- tions. It adds that the steamer could only have been sunk in cruisér warfare for carrying contraband to England.” The Admiralty reports that the Dutch i steamer Gamma, bound from New York for Amsterdam, with a cargo of oil cake for the Netherlands Government, was fired upon by a German submarine and subsequently sunk by bombs. wo “Men” From Snaken Spanish Steamér Died of Expostre...._.._ BREST, France, Feb. 6.—The captain and 12 men of the Spanish steamer Al- gorta, which was sunk by a submarine. have been landed here by a steam traw)- er.

WASHINGTON, Feb. today by Secretary Laker. Spain’s taking Ovgs of American inter- ests in Germany and Switzerland's simi- lar action for German interests here, are interpreted as removing both these neu- trals from participation in the break in relations. Spanish Ambassador Riano, who con- ferred with State Department officials today, intimated it was doubtful if Spain would formally reply to President Wil- son’s note to neutrals. as her taking over of American interusts in Germany indicated that no matter how seriously she might protest Germany’s action, she would not as yet sever diplomatic rela- tions. Spain is the largest neutral now abso- lutely free from entanglements in the war and is by far the best equipped dip-’ lomatically to serve as an intermediary between the belligeront groups. ‘fhe practical certainty that an American break with Austria also cannot be avoid- ed makes it more desirable than ever that Spain should remain outside the struggle. King Alfonso has been offi- cially stated on several occasions to be waiting for an opportunity that may pre- sent itself to further moves toward’ peace and now that the usefulness of the United States has been impuired, stands as the most likely mediator. Germany’s disposition to regard the break with the United States with calm-| ness and deliberation and in a peaceful spirit as expressed by Foreign Minister Zimmermann brings new encourage- ment to those who hope the breach be- tween the two countries will go no fur- severance of diplomatic re- lations, Americans Not Ordered Oat. ” It is stated officially today that there is no change in the status of the some 2000 Americans in Germany. They have not been ordered by the United States to leave Germany, but have been advised of the break in relations that they may make individual decisions. American embassy and consular officials up to the time they leave will assist any Ameri- cans, and after that the Spanish Am- bassador on behalf of the United States will take up the work. President Wiison and the Cabinet met today for the first time since diplomatic relations with Germany were severed. All members Were present. Virtually fore the meeting that he was not insist- ing on the fulfillment of contracts with owners of vessels leaving the United States and passing through the German submarine zone for carrying American mails. “T am leaving that to them,” he said.

So far as is known this is the first response. Immediate purchase of reserve quartermasters’ supplies for the army up to the limits of available appropriations, was ordered Purchasing age@ts have been sent into the market by Maj.-Gen. Sharpe, Quartermaster-General, to get the supplies in the shortest possible time. bly received oy President "Wilson, there is no definite indication = the plan will mature. Relations with Austria are not on sound foundation, owing to the kno adherence of the dual monarchy to Ger- many’s submarine war program, but certain differences in her announced in- tentions make it uncertain just what the United States Government may cn to do. The war and navy departments con- tinue to formulate plans for mobiliga- tlon of industrial and commercial fre- sources, as well as military, so they may be placed in operation under Gev- ernment direction on short orders, The Navy Department issued a list of man- ufacturing companies which e offered their services in case of war.

Measures Affected. The measures which come under the Republican ban are the Dill for calling » constitutional convention, the prison reform bill and the bill providing a cen- tral board of control for eleemosynary institutions. The Republican caucus was held in the Senate chamber on call of Repre- sentative Settle of St. Louis County. An agreement was reached that the ad- ministration bills were not matters jus- tifying a party division in the House and that each member was free to vote as an individual, uninfluenced by cau- cus action on them. The action of the caucus threatens some of the most important of the ad- ministration measures, as there is little probability of the Democratic majority’ acceding to the Republican demands, and as there is some opposition among the Democrats to all of the measures considered by the Republican caucus. It is considered probable that if this portion of the administration’s program fails, Gov. Gardner will call the Legis- Tature in special session and make a further attempt to get the bills passed. Republican Demands. The Republican caucus demands are: 1. The bill providing for the calling of @ constitutional convention must be amended so that the convention will corsist of 34 Democrats and 34 Repub- licans. f ® The prison reform bill must be so an:ended that the Board of Control of the penal institutions shall consist either oF one Democrat and one Republican, or two Democrats and two Republicans. °. The Central Board of Control for elemosynary institutions will must be emended so that the board will consist either of one Democrat and one Repub Mean or two Democrats and two Repub- licans. Under the constitution the membership vf a constitutional convention consists wf two delegates for each State Senator, tha delegates to be elected by senator- tal districts. Of the 34 senatorial dis- tricts 2% are Democratic and only eignt are Republican. On this basis a consti- tutional convention would consist of 562 Democrats and 16 Republicans. Proposed Republican Plan. The plan proposed by the Republican caucus is that in each senatorial dis- trict a ticket containing only two names, one a Democrat and one a Republican, shall be voted on for delegates to the convention. It is possible that the decision of the Republican caucus may serve to line the Democrats up solidly for the Gov- ernor’s entire program, but this is con- sidered doubtful. Representative Farris, Democratic floor leader, said this morning that such a result should follow, but that he was not prepared to say that all the democrats in the House would vote to- gether. He plans to call a caucus of Democrats for the purpose of getting united action {if possible. “NOTTS 10 BE REMARRIED &rtist and Wife, Divorced Here, Get License in New York. Jean Knott, the artist who draws “Penny Ante,"’ which appears daily in the Post-Dispatch, is to remarry Mrs. Elizabeth PF. «nott, who divorced him here last July.

CROYDON, England, Feb. 6.—For the geventh time since the war began, there were no prisoners for trial at the re- cent session of the Quarterly Court here. But two cases have come to this court ment officials reiterated tcday that sail- ings of American ships to the war zone still were governed by private individ- vals. and that the Government had taken no action, although some statement o? its attitude may be issued soon for their guidance: It also was reiterated that there was German ships in American ports. Al- though the authorities have taken pos- session of them to prevent destruction or dangers to navigation, they still are German private property and will be so respected. In fact, it was emphasized here to- day, that all German private property in the United States was safeguarded by law. Many Germans and Austrians have in- vested money ,in postal savings banks and in other ways, and it is perfectly secure. ' The shipping problem is a most com- plicated one and officials charged with preparing a statement on the subject, which was to have been given out to- day, have not completed their task. The State Department has been care- ful to impress the inalienable right of Americans to travel on the high seas on the minds of those shippers who have requested advice as to what course to pursue, but has been equally careful not to take any action which could be re- garded as instructions. Shippers are eft to their own discretion, with the sugges- tion that while they may go out at any time, the Government calls attention both to the danger to the ship and the danger of involving the country in war. Nine German Ships Interned in Hawaiian Islands Damaged. HONOLULU, T. H., Feb. 6.—Engines and boilers of all nine German merchance vessels tied up in the Hawalian Islands kave been disabled by their crews. The crews of the North German Lloyd steamers Pommern and Prinz Waldemar have been taken into custody, and crews of the other seven vessels are detained at the immigration station. Machinery and some of the boilers cf the German gunboat Geier, interned here, were found to be wrecked and fire-damaged yesterdey when naval and customs inspectors examined the craf.. United States naval detachments took charge of officers and crew of the Geier and turned them over to the arniy for internment. The Geier caught fire at her berth Sunday. Germa.. Sailors and Ships in Seattle Harbor Taken in Charge. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 6.—The Ham- burg-American freight ship Saxonia, 4500 tons, and the German ship Steinbek, 2000 tons, which have been tfed up in Eagle Harbor here since the beginning of the European war were taken in charge yesterday by Federal customs officers. The officers and sailors on the ships were arrested under the provision of the immigration law forbidding aliens to enter the United States without permis- sion. They are in custody at the immi- gration detention station. ‘ Customs officers charge that Capt. Franz Helfer and the 12 members of the crew of the Saxonia bored the cyl- inder heads of engines and threw over- board pars of machinery.

M., Feb. 6.—The more than 10,000 soldiers of Major-General Pershing’s expeditionary force, which marched back to United States soil yes. terday, after serving in Mexico since March 1, 1916, are departing for their stations at various points on the border today. High army officers from the base camp here and from other camps in the Southwest, who witnessed the paradc from Palomas Lakes yesterday, ex- pressed gratificatiai at the apparent physical fitness of*tee men. The refugees from Mexico who preced- ed the troops remain a problem for the civil authorities, as there are more than 3000 encamped here. The American Red Cross has been appealed to for assist ance in feeding these refugees. In the prison camp are the 22 alleged Vila pandits, who are being held for the State courts of New Mexico. Charges of murder in connection with the Colum- bus raid will be filed against a number of them. ee Busy Bee Bakery Special This Week | Strasburg Butter Loaf Coffee Cake, 2c. $ of Censors for movie films, which is the first of the many expected bills to in- crease the State revenue, is expected to be reported to the Senate today at Jef- ferson City. The bill is being vigorously opposed by the club women of St. Louis and other of the larger cities of the State, but has the support of clubwomen of the rural districts. It is also being fought by the film producers and exhibitors. Mrs. G. V. R. Mechin, president of the St. Louis Council of Federated Wom- en’s Club of Missouri, said the bill was opposed by the club women in St. Louis because they believed it would not cre- ate a real censorship of the movies. She termed it a “‘pork measure’”’ and said ‘no woman with sense would indorse ag The producers and exhibitors oppose the bill because it would increase the cost of showing photoplays and because, they also contend, it would not result in real censorship. The bill was intro- duced in the Legislature by Senator McClintic. Annual Salaries at Least $28,000. The measure provides 23 jobs, includ- ing those of the members of the board, which would be composed of two men end one woman. The combined muini- mum annual salaries for all of the jons would amount to $28,000, exclusive cf olfice, traveling or other expenses: Ad- ditional employes, at salarieS not to ex- ceed $5000 a year might be appointed with the approval of the Governor. The bill also provides that *t‘each mem. ber and employe of the board shall be uilowed all expenses, of whatsoever na- ture, incurred by him or her in carry- ing out the purposes of the act.” The revenue clauses of the bill pro- vide that all exhibitors of films, or slereoptican views in theaters, halls or cther edifices, where an admission fee is charged, shall pay inspection fees to ‘ board. These fees vary with the Seating capacity of theaters or halls. An annual fee of $25 would be paid by hovses having 250 seats, and $25 addi- tional for each 250 geats above that number, up to 750 capacity. It also vrovides for fines for violation of the board’s rules, or the exhibition of films not bearing the-stamp of approval of ths censors. Would Review All Films. The bill provides that all films, slides or views shown in the State must be reviewed by the board and receive the board’s stamp of approval before being shown. A charge of $1 for each 1000 feet of film reviewed, in addition to the annual inspection fee charged each ex- hibitor, is also provided for. The producers say the enforcement of that provision would be physically im- possible, as there are released each week in St. Louis alone, 170 new motion picture films. Some of the phetoplays q . par out, and as the running off of each reel requires at least 15 minutes time, the board of censors could not review al: of the films shown in St. Louis each week, if they devoted eight hours a day to their jobs six days a week.

INSURANCE DEA FEE BE RESTORED a Ilinois Commissioner to Ask for Restitution in Case of North American Union. Demand will be made today by In- surance Commissioner Rufus M. Potts of Illinois on the officers of the North American Union of Chicago, a fraternal insurance organization, for the restitu- tion of $228,000 commissions alleged to hzve been paid for the reinsurance of the North American Union in the Fra- ternal Aid Union of Lawrence, Kan. lf restitution is not made, receivership proceedings will be instituted by Attor- ney-General Brundage of Illinois agains the North American, Union. The demand is made on the strength of an opinion given to Commissioner Fotts by the Attorney-General that the payment of the commissions, without the knowledge or approval of members of the North American Union, is an. abuse of their rights and an injustice to them, which a court of equity would prevent. If receivership proceedings. are brought the assets of the North Ametr'- can Union remaining in Illinois will be seized. Knights and Ladies of Honor, Among the members of tks. North American Union ure about 29,000 former members of the Knights and Ladies of Honor, who were reinsured in the North American Union under a contract dated Aug. 24,: 1916, which was approved by the United States District Court at In- dianapolis on Aug. 29. The reinsurance was etfected while a receivership suit Was pending in the Indianapolis court, in which Max F. Ruler and Horace L, Dyer, who figuied in the Knights of Honor receivership here, were attor- neys fur a group of members of the Knights and Ladies of Honor., As a ro- sult of the reinsurance the receivership suit was dsimissed If Commissioner Pctts’ demand for restitution of the $228,000 commissions in the Fraternal Aid deal is complied with, the former Ixnights and Ladies of Honor will benefit by the restitution. If it is necessary to pring a receiver- ship suit, their insurance will be jeopar- dized. Some time prior to last November a Chicago attorney approached Commis- sioner Potts to ascertain if he would approve re-insurance of the North American Union in the Fraternal Aid Union of Lawrence, Kan, Commissioner Potts told him he would approve the re- insurance if satisfied that the interests of the North American Union were con- gerved and provided that affidavits were made that no commissions were to be paid. He was not again communicated with on the subject. In December he learnea that the North American Union had been reinsured in the Fraternal Aid Union under date of Nov. 20 and that the contract of reinsurance had been ap- proved by Carey J. Wilson, Kansas Superintendent of Insurance, on Nov. 2 Potts Asked for Information. On Dec. 27 Commissioner Potts wrote to L. D. Roberts, Lawrence, Kan., sec- retary. of the Fraternal Aid Union, re- quiring information under oath as fol- lows: Authority under which agreement of reinsurance purported to be made; certified copy of minutes, certified copy of the agreement of reinsurance, and a statement as to any remuneration or emolument paid or promised, together with copies of contracts in relation George R. Allen, attorney for the Fra- ternal Aid Union, and H. M. Waring, vice president, delivered to the commis- sioner letters and documents whicin mmissioner Potts notified them were not sufficient. Waring admitted to Commissioner Potts that a commission of $228,000 was to be paid to John W. Breytfogle of Kansas City and that $100,000 had al- ready been paid to him by the Fraternal Aid Union, which had been borrowed for the purpose. Waring said he did not know among whom the commission was to be divided. Allen and Waring were notified that the consolidation would not be approved by the Illinois department unless the commission so far paid was restored and that no contract of reinsuranse would be approved by the department that car- ried with it the payment of extravagant commissions or expenses. Attorneys’ fees and commissions commensurate with the service actually performed might be allowed, but the amount would not be permitted to exceed $10,000 or $20,- 000, and this would only be allowed on a showing that the service had actually been performed. GIRL SAYS DOCTOR WOOED HER Gustave Moritz Said Wife Was Dead. Miss Genevieve Hesse, who is suing Dr. Gustave Moritz, an oculist, for $20,000, alleging breach of promise to marry, tells in a deposition taken in the case that Moritz told her his wife was dead. She said she first met him when she went to have her eyes treated in August, 1914, and he first proposed to her in January, 1915. Miss Hesse said she later learned that Mrs. Moritz was not dead. Dr. Moritz resides with his wife at 5037 Cabanne avenue. Alleges ANTI-KAMNIA (A-K) TABLETS. A. M. Williams, M.

RED BLOOD — FOR BEAUTY Women who would look well, be well and do well must keep their blood rich and red. If your blood is below par, mar improve- ment will follow treatment com- bining exercise, fresh air, sensi- ble diet, with Pepto-Mangan, “The Red Blood Builder.’’ A really beautiful woman is always a healthy woman. For true beauty comes from the blood. Rich, red blood—the foun- ‘ain of life—reveals itself in a rosy complex- ion, clear eyes, solid flesh, youthful carriage, htly walk and a charming personality. , ; Red-blooded women make fine wives and mothers. They are the hope of the world— und its social. leaders. They play a very large part in every sphere of modern life. Pepto Mangan “The Red Blood Builder’’ If your blood is pale, watery and thin, if body is weak and frail—a poor house your mind and ambition—start today to make ita better house. Remember that one of the most conspicuous facts about Nature is her health-restoring power. In her work pf making you well, she needs the help of . right living more than medicine. So keep out in the open air— fresh air is the life of your blood. De- pend on rest and sleep, the handmaids of health and beauty. Take reguiar exere cise, and eat only the plain blood - build - ing foods. Often—we admit—it seems im- ¢ to keep up a diet so well balanced that it provides all the elements required to feed the blood, muscles, nerves, brain, etc. Then Pepte- Mangan, “The Red Blood eee, proves especially valuable as a tod food. to-Mangan feeds the red _—— cells t re- stores your appetite and color, increases your happinéss, fills you with new purpose wer. _ Thousands of physicians endorse and pre- fibe Pepto-Mangan for nursing mothers, invalids, convalescents, weak, anemic chil- dren, thin-blooded old people and over- worked men. It is exceedingly pleasant to te, and easily digested. A splendid gen- ‘tonic and appetizer. There are inany imitations of Pepto-Man- vamand counterfeits of the package.

TWO STORES: i 513 Olive Street CHIEF PROVISIONS OF KANSAS CITY"s PROPOSED CHARTER Manager Chosen by Mayor and Council Would Run Munici- pality’s Business Affairs. ELECTION ON MARCH 6 Intention Is to Separate Execu- tive and Legislative Functions From Administrative Ones. Special to the. Post-Dispatch. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 6.—The new city charter, which provides for the city manager plan of municipal govern- ment, was signed and delivered to May- or Edwards last night. The special charter election will be held Tuesday, March 6, The high points in the proposed char- ter are: A city manager who, through himself and the heads of departments appointed by -him, would exercise the administra- tive functions of the city, thereby cen- tering and fixing responsibility. A Mayor, the chief magistrate of the city, and a small] Council—five members in each house—all nominated and elected at large. The recall, initiative and referendum. A careful and consistent distinction between those affairs of the city which are governmental and legislative and these which are purely administrative. A plan for doing public work stripped of red tape, restrictions and limitations, the practical operation of which would result in reducing to a minimum the cost of public improvements. The simplification of the city govern- ment in all its branches and its divorce- ment from partisan politics. Home rule in the control of the sa- loons. Manager’s Jurisdiction. Heads of all departments except those of finance and law, would be named by the city manager, who would be se- lected solely with regard to his fit- ness for the position. The regulation and control of saloons would be taken from the Police Com- missioners and placed under an Excise Commissioner, to be elected by the peo- ple for a term of four years. The city has the right under the Constitution to regulate the saloons, but in a previous charter turned the saloons over to the Police Board. The Excise Commissioner would be empowered to fix zones in which no sa- loons wouid be permitted, and would be obliged to do so if a majority of the res- idents in any given distriet should de- sire. The interest rate on special taxes would be reduced from 7 to 6 per cent. Elective officials of the city would be a Mayor, 10 Aldermen and the Excise Commissioner, all to be chosen for four years. Election of Aldermen, The five candidates for Aldermen re- ceiving the highest number of votes would constitute the upper house and the five receiving the next highest num- ber of votes the lower house. The Mayor would receive $500 a month and the Councilmen $200. The administrative authority of the city would be the administrative board, comprising the Mayor and the 10 Coun- cilmen. The city manager would be named by the administrative board ard serve during its pleasure. The city man- ager and all heads of departments would be required to “abstain from politica] activity.’’ TAKE TOE PRINTS TO AVOID MIXING BABIES System of ‘dentificat:- - Ade=‘eil in Balti-nore Hosptial. BALTIMORE, Feb. 6.—~No longer wili young mothers whose babies are born at the Maryand General Hospital of this city live in fear lest Archibald Augustus or Gwendolyn Genevieve, taken from them for temporary rest after the visits of solicitious and baby-talking uncles and aunts, may become mixed up with some other baby in the general nursery and be returned to the wrong mother. They are applying the Bertillon Sys- tem. When a baby arrives in the hos- pital and becomes a member of somoe- body’s family, he is taken to the Ber- tillon bureau. But instead of prints being made of his fifgers, his toes are the things that count. The tiny foot is inked and its impression taken on pa- per. Then that paper is marked with his name and other valuable informa- tion and placed on file. Nevel is : Bevo With Dutch lunches. FIRST SAMPLE FAIR OF SWISS Emterprise te Be Held at Basle in April Strictly National in Character. BASLE, Switzerland, Feb. 6.—The first Swiss sample fair to be held April 15-29, in this city, will represent the various smaller trades as much as the big in- dustries, and will be of purely Swiss character, the rules stipulating that a]! exhibits must have been manufactured in Switserland. Particular prominence will be given to the textiles, the watch and jewelry, machinery and electrical industries, chemical products, foodstuffs, such as canned goods, chocolate and dairy prod- uets. Manufacturers and artisans who specialize in quality work will also figure among the exhibitors, as the Swiss in- dustrial branches are more and more concentrating their efforts upon attain- ing a world reputation for the quality and not for the cheapness of their goods. Its not ‘tee 1dite for our special funeral spray, $2.80 each. Grimm & Gorly Weman Biackamifth’s Helper Exempt.

The national astime has always been a financial oser at the Billiken school, and the game will be reinstated only on condi- tion that the maintainance expense is held down to the absolute minimum. There is a wealth of good material for this year’s team and with offers of games from Missouri, Washington, Rolla and Concordia, a good schedule could be arranged. Hbwever, finances are the first consideration and that’s what the athletic board will investigate at this week’s meeting. Rademacher Defers Visit. Coach Charles M. Rademacher has practically abandoned his plans for a spring visit to the Billiken school, leav- ing the details for spring practice en- tirely in the hands of Artie Thomas, who will coach the blue and white freshman squad again next season.

The Sunset Hill team Is somewhat crippled because of the absence of Johnny Magner, who suffered’ a sprained ankle in last week’s game between the Ben Millers and Colum- bia A.C. teams.

He adds that the entire club salary, in these days, was noi much over $25,000, or less than the — pay of Tris Speaker and Ty oO Withour championing the YFrater- nity’s star, we may remark, in pass- ing, that in purchasing power, the $2500 or 25 years ago would be worth about $5000 today. And as to the ability of magnates to pay, it may be noted tha grandstands did not seat from 25,000. to 40,000, or one- third of that in those times, nor was there any world’s series, with prices four times normal, to recoup the lead- a * teams’ treasuries. randstand seats were 50 cents, in- Stead of trom 75 cents to $1.25. and it was not the fashion to surround 509 2b-cent: seats by 30000 high-priced ones.

It’s a Live Idea. REDIT should be given St. Louis men for a suggestion that will probably be favorably acted on at the Feb..9 tennis meeting. Davison Obear and Henry Cushman of this city, are trying to have adopted a plan where- by official U. S. L. T. A. umpires will be appointed to handle tournaments in each city. The maintainence of a staff of of- ficials, one to each club in each city, would not only tend toward eliminat- ing petty snarls and grievances, aris- ing in tournaments handled by of- ficials the lack national authority, but would also mean a uniform con- struction of all the rules—something needed badly in the matter of ruling on foot faults. There seems no reason why the Obear-Cushman suggestion shoule be sidetracked. o * * In passing, it might be said that the National Soccer Asso- ciation might adopt a similar plan with reference to its referees, in order to do away with the ever- lasting alibis of visiting soccer elevens. * a The Gamest Man. VERY now and then some Capt. Scott immortalizes human forti- tude by a stupendous exhibition of courage. The sporting world has de- leveloped many such, a few of whom may be mentioned as follows: JOE JEANETTE,’ the colored heavywcigh*, after being knocked down more than 20 times in the first 30 rounds of. his fight with Sam McVey, won the bout after 49 rounds of fighting. FRED HARTMAN, with frozen feet and a weakened dog-team, finished the 609-mile race, col- lapsing at the finish. TOMMY WEST won a fight, after his opponent had blinded him, and after forcing his sec- ond to slit the swollen and bruised spots with a knife, be- tween rounds, thus enabling him to see. FRED DOERR and Mike Christ wrestled five hours, during Which spectators went to supper and returned, the former winning when his opponent could no long- er lift his arms.

WORK IS DONE AT NIGHT City Had Refused to Give. Its Approval — Improvements Planned by Illinois System. al After four years of effort the Illinois Traction (McKinley) System, has ob- tained a connection with the tracks of the Terminal Railroad Association in St. Louis and is in ‘a position, if the Inter- state Commerce Commission concurs, to deliver coal anywhere on Terminal! lines. Permission to make the conec- tion was given to the McKinley System by the State Public Service Commission last week, following the refusal of the St. Louis Board of Public service to rec- ommend it. With connections between its lines and the facilities of the Terminal Associa- tion on both sides of the river, the Mc- Kinley System may, if it chooses, put into effect its published tariff of i0 cents a ton for coal delivered to any part of St. Louts reached by the Terminal Asso- ciation or its subsidiaries. The McKin- ley System was projected and built as a coal carrier. Many of the most produc- tive mines in Illinois are situated on the McKinley lines. 14 Feet of Track Laid. Atter receiving the State Public Serv- ice Commission's sanction for the con- nection, a gang of men was put at work Saturday night to lay 14 feet of track- age on Hall street, near Bremen ave- nue, to join the McKinley System’s rails with those of the Terminal Association. Ira L. Burlingame, general traffic man- ager of the Terminal Association, said —— “7 R.KINGSSA NEW Ry Gl hildren pull at the heart strings and their slightest illness means anxiety.

' In addition to this connection, it is the McKinley system’s intention to extend the east approach of its bridge over Venice, Ill., to facilitate the larger traf- fic which is expected to result from the use of the Terminal’s trackage in St. Louis. This approach would obviate the present use of surface tracks and great- ly expedite the movement of cars. The cost of the approach would be about $1,000,000. Large electric locomotives capable of drawing 10 or 12 60-ton cars, it is said, will be added to the McKinley System’s equipment. | The McKinley system’s franchise in St. Louis forbids the hauling of freight through the streets, but this prohibition, it is believed, would not apply to cars delivered to the Terminal Association and moved by the latter over its tracks. The McKinley system is not chartered as an interurban road in Missouri, and operates on this side of the river as a street railway corporation. No Answer as to Concessions, The provision requiring the McKinley system to transport passengers for a 5-cent fare to and from the Tri-Cities has been successfully attacked by the company, and the Interstate Commerce Commission has given permission to in- crease this rate to 10 cents. Following the Interstae Commerce Commission’s order, Alderman Barney L. Schwartz in- troduced a Dil) repealing the franchise of the St. Louis Electric.Terminal Rail- way Co., the McKinley system’s sub- sidiary in this State. At a conference with city officials last week representa- tives of the McKinley system were asked to give the free use of the Mc- Kinley bridge for pedestrians and ve- the repeal bill and for other concessions, but declined to make any statement. President Kinsey of the Board of Pu*- lic Service said that when the MeKin- ley system requested rhe citw t) ‘nter- vene in its behalf in an effort tv get the Public Service Commission te au- thorize a track connection with the Ter- minal tracks, the city declined because the representatives of the McKinlev sys- tem said they would not agree to de- liver coal in St. Louis any cheaper than the Terminal does. The McKinley sw .. tern refused, Kinsey said, to abolish the bridge charge, which was what the city was seekirg. SOCIETY | Cards have been sent out by Mrs. Rob- ert Aull announcing the marriage of her. daughter, Mrs. Helen Aull McRee, to Walter Russell Herrick of New York, which took place yesterday afternoon at the home of the bride, 326 North Eu- clid avenue. Mr. Herrick and his bride have gone South to spend their honey- moon. They will reside in New York. Mr. Herrick ts a broker. He is a member of the Racquet and Tennis Club, Union League, Metropolitan and Coun- try Clubs of New York. The marriage of Mrs. Mildred Dyer Chapin to John O’Day of Boston took place this morning at 9 o’clock at the New Cathedral, the Rev. Father Spen- cer officiatin®. Miss Emilie Cale and Helene Rose- “nan were bridemaids and the best man and groomsman, John Heyer and Ned Sampson, came on from Boston with the bridegroom. After the ceremony there was a break- fast at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. George C. Dyer of 6334 Westminsier place, after which Mr. O’Day and his bride left for Palm Beach for a month's visit. The bride married Walter Sanford about two years ago. It was at Narra- gansett she met Mr. Chapin and also mMr. O’Day, who courted her before her marriage. He renewed his suit when she became a widow and the engage- ment was announced last year. Mr. O'Day is the nephew of Danie O’Day of Standard Oi] fame. He is president of the United States Color and Chemical Co. of Boston.

MENGEL Romance Is Result of Weekly Gathering of Small Coterie of Music Lovers. ry romance of music came to light to- day, when Mr. and Mrs. Herman C. Sti- fel of the St. Regis Apartments an- nounced the engagement of their daugh- ter, Miss Florence Stifel, one of the most popular girls in society, to Albert F. Mengel, head of the Mengel- Music Co. Weekly gatherings of a small coterie of tusic lovers have been held at the Stifel apartments, and among the mak- ers of sweet sounds were Miss Stifel, an a pianist as well as a composer, several of his published songs having had some- what of a vogue recently. These mutual tastes and talents aided in drawing them together. The date of the wedding has not yet been fixed. Miss Stifel is of a striking blonde type. She was educated at Mary Institute, and since leaving school has traveled widely. She is a sister of Arnold Stifel. Mengel, who lives at 519 Pendleton ave- nue, comes of an old Missouri family and has lived here about 12 years. The annonucement came as a sur- prise to the couple’s circle of friends, as Miss Stifel, only a few days ago, bade them farewell, saying she had her trunks packed to start Sunday with her mother on a long visit to Texas. At the eleventh hour Mengel’s intercession pre- vailed and the trip was declared off. Two Automobiles Stolen. Two automobiles were stolen last night. They belonged to the Rev. W. C.

JOSEPH PULITZER. At the earliest possible moment Congress should pass an act providing for universal obligatory military training and service. | In his New York address, ex-President Taft suggests training for all young men between the | ages of 18 and 25. He emphasizes the need of such a measure now in view of the immediate menace of war. He aptly cites the action of Germany as a complete answer to the argument of the pacifists that we have the power to decido the question of war or peace and should refuse to prepare for war. We have no desire, he sid, for difficulties with Germany, and have done her no wrong, “yet she, in violation of our rizhts, proposes to do that which, if we value our honor and our vital interests, we must resist by “orce.” We are confronted with the menace of war and we are unprepared for war. Nothing except the preparedness of others who stand in the way of an attack pre:erves us from tremenc -8 disaster and national humiliation. Is it wise to depend upon others for protection? Is it not the height of folly to be unprepared to defend our lives, property and rights from enemies? Compulsory military training, with obligatory service when the country needs service, is the only effective method of preparedness. It is the only democratic, non-militaristic mode of prepar- edness. It trains the manhood of the nation fo! of our participation. a Nf PERSHING’S TEN THOUSAND. With bands playing, colors flying and aero- 10,000 men came back across the line from Mexico. Events may be ahead of us showing that this expedition, which made as little history as any 10,000 American regulars ever made on an 4as- signment to serious business, has am important place in national preparedness. All data are in agreement as to the wonders which the routine of humdrum border service did for the citizen soldiery of the militia. How much more fit must months on foreign service, often in hostile terri- tory, confronting the conditions of actual war? Pershing did not get Villa, but, on» the other hand, Villa will never get him again. It will be a long time before the Chihuahua peon bandit or any other Mexican bandit will take by sur- prise and shoot up an American command of regulars. Carranza, who has complained that the pres- ence of our troops was humiliating to Mexican pride and handicapped him in his efforts to end discord in the country, is given a free hand. He has a chance unhampered to show its capacity while we turn our attention to other and greater problems. Pershing’s 10,000 have had adventures unexampled in the army since the Spanish War.

Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It is claimed that, in one of our largest cities, census returns show there are over 50,000 women of various ages living alone, either because of be- ing alone in the world, so far as family is con- cerned, or friendless because of poverty. The writ- er making this statement enters a plea on behalf of these lonely women, herself being one of them, and urging that some means be provided to make brighter the lives of these women who are prac- tically homeless and alone in a great city. The writer urges that greater liberties should be given them, and that it should by some means be made possible for them to find some social companion- ip. Many of them live for years in their lim- If we begin at once we will be late. If we post- pone it further we may be too late—we may be caught in the maelstrom without preparation.. A great army of trained, efficient citizen sol- diers would help to avert yar. It would warn enemies to avoid war with us. If it would not avert war it would minimize the danger, disaster and horrors of war. We would have a sufficient army of trained men to meet the enemy. We would not send untrained, badly equipped, inef- ficient, raw recruits against trained, equipped soldiers. We would be saved the cost and slaughter of initial defeats while we were pre- paring. Let us drop delusions about war and war prep- aration. Let us undertake our own defense in the most efficient way, not by the unequal and unreliable method of asking for volunteers who are untrained and unready for service, or by Again we ask, with emphasis, “Is the Kaiser mad?” = ~~ Ve GERMAN SPORTSMEN. From every American port where there are interned German ships come stories that their crews have tried to disable the vessels since the break between the United States and their Fatherland. The authorities have done right, of course, in trying to prevent further damage. Such acts may be punishable at law, but they scarcely involve moral obloquy. It isa thing which Amer- ican sportsmanship can understand, even if American patriotism cannot condone it. After all, there is no hostility between the American people and the German people, irrecon- cilable as American political philosophy and Ger- man political philosophy appear to be. In their hearts most Americans sincerely wish that the Kaiser and junkers were half the good sports- men many of the Kaiser’s subjects are.

From Mr. Bryan’s plea for the preservation of peace at any price it is to be gathered that he would have the American people submit for the present to any insult or any wrong that the Ger- man Government might deliberately inflict upon this nation. Later on, after the war in Europe is over, if we have a quarrel with Germany it can be settled by a separate war of our own. The average American will hardly rise to this noble conception of duty. Mr. Bryan’s military policy, in effect, is that the United States, in any circumstances and whatever the provocation, sha!l patiently wait until Germany is exhausted and beaten to the ground and then fight a cripple. This is strategy of the highest order, but it calls for a kind of courage, moral and physical, that would make any man or nation contemptible. It is dis- gusting and despicable advice. = = * rw George W. Perkins, who has been “hanging his head in shame” for a long time, probably fourfd that his neck had become atrophied when the break came.

I take it that a man gets all the knocks he can stand in the outside world, and that it must be a soothing proposition to have one person in the world who. apparently, never perceives that you make a blunder or have a fault. “Oh, there’s lots of things that I don’t tell my husband,’’ said the gray- haired ,. woman, smiling at the. little bride. “‘Believe me that nowhere else is silence more golden than in the fam- ily circle.”’ Syndi- q (Copyright. 1917. by the Wheeler I used to do that when I was first mar- cate, Inc.) [ ee Common Sense in Lighting OWADAYS, when so much atten- N tion is given to the artistic in lighting fixtures for our homes— when we may buy shades in green, rose, orange, blue and white to match our rooms—it is well not toe entirely overlook the fact that light is, after all, intended to see by. Have your dainty colored shades to match your different rooms, if you like, advises a writer in Gas Logic, but re- member that there is one color which harmonizes with almost any shade and yet gives an excellent soft light which it is delightful to see by. That color is amber. We all know that a brown chif- fon veil, for instance, is far more pleas- ant to wear and look through than a eerise or a purple one. And it is the Same way with the shades on our light- ing fixtures. The gayly colored and painted ones may be very often not as satisfactory for use as the simple am- ber one. “The more brilliant of two lights may not be the more efficient; it may merely be giving out too much light in the wrong place,’’ continues the article re- “The question of reflection is important here. It is evident that dark-colored objects reflect light badly. Yor example, a light which is sufficient for sewing on white cloth is often in- sufficient for darning black hose. Just _ 80, the-walls of a room absorb or reflect light. A very dark wall paper will gometimes absorb 8 per cent of the light rays and be fully 60 per cent dark- er than the same room would be by the same light, but repapered in a light shade. fact at this point that mantle burners are much more economical than open- flame burners. * * * Using a shade to manipulate the light so that you concen- trate it in the right place is good sense And using the right shades for the size and color scheme of your rooms is good sense plus art.’”’ The Family Chest. | Siar ri ahaa Wife doesn’t call it ar ice-box any more.

Wiley, father of the pure food law, offered this contribution to the currént discussion of the hign cost of living at the annual dinner of the Economic Club in New York the other night Dr. Wiley has settled many problems, but none more impor- tant than the marvelous bit of multipli- cation I have just quoted. So I has- tened to ask him for more detailed in- formation 2bout how to make $2 grow where only $1 grew before. And, in defiance of all mathematical iaws, i found that Dr. Wiley multiplies ty subtracting. Multiplying Wages by Subtracting the Expense. “The laborer making $2 a day spends between 50 and 70 per cent of his wages for food—say $1.20 a day,’’ the former head of the United States Bureau or Chemistry stated succinctly. ‘He should not spend more. than 30 per ceat for what he eats, and that would make the dally cost about 60 cents. For this sum he and his family may be not mere- ly fed but well nourished.” And then the doctor described for me not the cup, but the table, of Tantalus. ‘A man can get along very well with meat but twice a week,”’ he said. ‘‘He should not drink tea or coffee, since both beverages are harmful. He should not partake of beer or any other alco- holic drink He ought to cut out tobac- co; it is distinctly deleterious. He does not need pies, cake or sweet desserts.

Give ‘California Syrup of Figs’ at once if bilious or constipated, Reduced From $1.20 to 60 Cents. of wheat or corn a day. ) He should banish from his table the pat- ent breakfast foods and bread made of white flour.” “Just what would you allow him to eat?” I asked weakly. “The thing that he needs most is whole wheat and whole corn. These grains constitute the true staff of life. They make the best and most nourishing bread and cereals... Then a_ certain amount of milk is desirable, plenty of potatoes, a little meat, a little sugar, a few fruits and vegetables. Such a diet is healthful, appetizing and inexpensive. “I want to tell you about the way we fed our two boys,’ continued Dr. Wiley earnestly. “In porridge and bread each one of them eats a pound This comes from my farm, but in estimating the cost of the boys’ meals I charge the reg- ular market price of $1 a bushel for the corn and $1.8 for the wheat. The whole grain is ground for me and in that process alone there is considerable sav- ing. Fine for the Dairy Cows But Tough on Humans, “A bushel of wheat makes cnly 44 pounds of fine white flour. The millins results in a loss of 16 pounds, and the part thrown away contains protein, vita- mins, minerals, some of the most val- uable food elements of the wheat. This waste is usually fed to the cow, which is good for the dairy, but bad for you and me, “To return to the diet of my boys. The more expensive grain, wheat, cost $1.80 a bushel. Grinding and expressage from the farm make the price for ‘i youn of whole wheat flour $2.26. Each oy-eats a pound a day, which there- fore costs $0.038. A daily pint of milk, containing at least 4 per cent butter content, costs $0.0. A daily apple or orange averages $0.02. brings the cost of the day’s food to $0.118. Then I put down $0.01 for the meat allowance; each boy on Sunday has one ounce of the white meat of chicken and in the middle of the week about as much lamb. Allowing $0.01S for sugur and incidentals, the total cost per boy per day is $0.14. And I defy anybody to produce plumper, healthier, better-nourished youngsters. ‘What is the use of paying from 10 to 2% cents a package for patent breakfasi foods when the best and bealthiest ce: :eals in the world are wheat and corn- meal mush? We have them’ alternate days; I like the cornmeal best; my wife prefers wheat and the children like one as well as the other.’’ ““‘But how can one get whole cornmeai, for example?’ I interrupted. “If you can tell me where-I can procuré meal which hasn’t had all the life and taste kiln-dried out of it, I shall be deeply grateful.’’ “T can't tell you,” addmitted Dr. Wi- ley. “‘But when people’s tastes are suf- ficiently educated to demand it the gro- cers will have to supply. it.’’ cat Three Times as Mucha ) Food. “Do you think people eat too much besides eating the wrong things?” [ asked.

The favorite fabrics for these coats are fancy cheviots and serges. In the sport strixing effects in wide stripes gre noticeable, echoing the brilliant plaids and checks in worsted and silk of the women’s sport suits. The chic headwear for little girls from 8 to 16 is the duplex hat, made of straw, with a rim of felt. For the little girl still younger, say, from 2 to 6, the dresses are in long tailored lines. A popular material is the new Japanese crepe, which is often trimmed with novelty smocking and miuch embroidery. ‘‘We sell more of the plain tailored dresses for this age, with for the Children the white smocking, than anything else, for our smart trade,’’ said one of the leading merchants in children’s wear in the Middle West. ‘Among these little tots there is the same tendency to larze plaids and broad stripes, in the Japanese crepes, as among the larger girls and women. “When it comes to the suits for the girls from 8 to 16, we have the tailoretl Norfolk style, somewhat the same last year, with a few changes in the plaits. The favorite stuff is the fine worsted serve. “For the little girls at this season, the change is very sudden from worstr. to the lighter cotton and silk fabrics— ginshanis, chambrays and crepes being Q?# | suid after the holidays | “The younger boys’ suits change liitie in style from seeson tu season.

These Japanese crepe: ire practically the only new feature ‘.: the spring styles for the voung boys. “For baby boys, from 1 to 4, we are selling for the early spring the reefer coats, buttoned straight to the throat for the younger boys, and the lape! coats for the older ones. The little reefer coats are often cf blue serge, wita the new sailor collar of blue linen, or white linen, trimmed with blue, “Shoes change but littl: this season. owing to the great expense in the leather, and to the difficulty in getting foreign leather. There will be, for boy« and girls from 4 to 10 the pony leather of soft gray. These shoes outwear any other kind, and can be so easily washed with ivory soap or castile that they are really the most econon.ical; at the same time, they are smart looking. It is an interesting fact that we sell more misses’ shoes for boys up to a certain age than of strictly boys’ shoes, for voth demand low heels and broad toes for the growing child. Block and white, and black, tan and white are going to be worn a great deal. All you have te do this season is to clean up your last year’s shoes, for the change in style is so unnoticeable that no aitention need be paid to it. The colors for all children’s wear are beautiful this season, and follow closely the cotors in the spring suits and snort suits of the women.

In such cases try the plan now followed in many hospitals and advised by many eminent physicans of taking a teaspoonful of pure bisurated magnesia in half glass of water, as hot as you can comfortably drink it. The hot wa- ter draws the blood to the stomach and the bisurated magnesia, as any physician can tell you, instantly neutralizes the acid and stops the food fermentation. Try this simple plan and you will be as- tonished at the immediate feeling of re- lief and comfort that always follows the restoration of the normal process of di- gestion. People who find it inconvenient at times to secure hot water and travelers who are frequently obliged to take hasty meals poorly prepared, should always take two or three five-grain tablets of Bisurated Magnesia after meals to pre- vent fermentation and neutralize the acid in their stomach.—ADYV. the young miss.

Construction of a subway under Olive street, from Third street to Vandeven- ter avenue, is prop.sed by Alderman Barney L. Schwartz as one of the con- ditions upon which the city will ad§ust its differences with the United Rail- ways Co., including the compromise of the mill tax. C. E. Smith, the city’s consulting engineer, has already made preliminary plans of the subway and estimates of its cost, which he places at $8,000,000. Alderman Schwartz told a Post-Dis- patch reporter today that Engineer Smith’s plans contemplate two tracks in the subway, with surface cars on the present lines to accommodate inter. mediate traffic. No difficulty is pre- sented by the Terminal Asociation’s tunnel in Eighth street, it is explained. That obstacle would be avoided by “‘dip- ping’ the subway so as to pass be- neath the tunnel.

The distinction lies in a Hudson invention. That — to a Six of the finest type—increased its efficiency 80 - per cent. So the difference is tremendous. No Eight or Twelve has anywhere near matched the Super-Six in performance. That’s why those types have not been more adopted. The Super-Six holds all the worth-while records. It has proved supremacy in every point that counts. It is now the largest-selling fine car in the world. Never before has a single maker brought out such a dominant feature. © That is why so many rivals seek to cloud the issue. They say you don’t want a racing car. You don’t need such vast reserve power. You are not going to drive across conti- nents, so those records do not count. A Light, Simple Six But note that the Super-Six is-a light, simple Six. Other Sixes have a same-size motor. We have not added size or cy]l- inders or complications to attain our end. What we have done—and all we have done—is to eliminate most of the fric- tion. In that way only we attained the speediest stock car in the world. And the most powerful stock motor, size for size, that was ever built. Would you have less power, less speed, because of greater friction? Or would you have that friction ended, and use what power and speed you need? The After-Cost The question is not one of power or speed. It’s the question of after-cost. Friction in the motor causes wear. Wear destroys the bearings and the parts. It reduces car life. It leads to noisy motors. The Super-Six records were won by endurance. Its greatest supremacy showed in the 24-hour record—won by 52 per cent. And in the 7000-mile round trip from San Francisco to New York. There it twice broke all the transconti- nental records. Any argument against such showings is an argument against endurance. The War of Types In the wa im Tn of types—between Sixes, Eights and Twelves—the Super-Six has won. Every record shows that. The ended trend toward V types also shows it. : The light, simple Six—the ideal type —again holds ruling place. Not the type that used to rule, but the Super-Six. It is evident today that the Super-Six is the only permanent type. Today it comes in bodies of the most luxurious sort. And with a new gasoline saver—a radiator shutter*-which means much added economy. | We urge you to prove these things before the season, when demand will far exceed the output.
