Springfield.--Action to insure- the perpetuation of the State Historical museum has been taken by the board of advisers and a paleontologist will be appointed to proceed at once to Spring­ field to classify the thousands of speci­ mens of natural life that at present are falling into decay through neglect. Fifty-thousand specimens are stored at the state cap!tol awaiting classifica­ tion. Twenty-five thousand additional exhibits have been Inspected and passed upon by experts, but the need of a suitable building for them and making them available to the public is needed badly, according to Dr. A. R. Crook. Chicago.--Maj. W. H. Allen of the Sixty-fifth infantry reached Chicago in quest of fifty adventurous men. He promises them all the thrill of the sea and the air, with the safety of dry land--that is, the safety that goes with breaking the way for the men who go over the top. For the fifty men are to man four "tanks" which the regi­ ment is to take to France. The regi­ ment Is being recruited and probably will train at Camp Upton, N. Y. Men of the draft age are eligible to enlist for operating the tanks and no" one over 40 years will be accepted.

One hundred thousand pounds, of beet sugar, 16 days' supply, has been lost some place between Rockford and Colorado, and other carloads of the staple supposed to be on the way also are missing. Rock Island.--Before the close of the coming summer, the greatest army supply depot In the world will be com­ pleted at Rock Isand. The program of • 1917, ambitious as It was, will seem comparatively insignificant beside the arsenal construction outlined for 191S. Just as soon as the frost is out of the ground, Col. G. W. Burr, commandant. Will order work commenced upon three great steel and concrete warehouses, all to be 500 feet long, 1R0 feet- In depth and six stories in height. Chicago.--A modern Enoch Arden has come home here, but Instead of "fading" when he found his wife mar­ ried to another, he raised a row and was sent to jail. He is also defendant In a divorce suit filed by his wife, so that she may legally marrv the man she .now calls husband. Clem Sum­ mers is the Enoch. He disappeared seven years ago, and in 1912 Mrs. Sum­ mers received a telegram that Clem was dead. In 1917 she married Peter Abbink. Bloomlngton.--There will be thou­ sands of Illinois farmers who thought they had permanently retired from ac- „ five life upon their tracts of land, to live In the city, who will again take up the burden tills spring. Many men who had turned their farms over to their sons, must take the place of those called to the colors. The ever-Increas­ ing scarcity of farm labor is also a factor in forcing the retired farmer back to his old field of labor. Chicago.--Freight car thieves in Chi­ cago railroad yards have looted cars of merchandise valued at $5,000,000 during the last year, officials declared here. More than .100 arrests have been made and more nrw expected In a drive by the authorities to wipe out the bands of car thieves.

Cairo.--Taxes amounting to $379,- 699.38 have been levied upon a total -equalization valuation of $6,557,923. fn Alexander county. It is an Increase of $23,840.38 over last year's amount.' Rockford.--Secret service operatives 1 are making an Investigation of food served by a Main street restaurant in Rockford tn which several cases of ground-glass discoveries were made by army people.

Monmouth.--John Knight has been found sfilltv by a Jury of beating to ">ath William E. Dawson. He was •Sentenced to 19 years In the state penl- rtentiary. „ Chicago.--More than 1,500 represen­ tatives of 75 nationalities composing the city's population fervently gave j testimony to Uieir love for America at *'ne Hotel La Salle. Officers and prt» vates in khaki dotted the banquet hall, and intermingled in the color schema were the blue of the navy and the blue gray of the Polish legion ready to sail for France. American Indians in blankets and war bonnets, and men and women in their native costumes mingled with guests in evening clothes i and business suits. Over the speakers' table was suspended a long, silken flag of white, containing 75 red stars, each representative of a nationality, while above, in blue letters, were the words, "United States of America." Urbana.--Employers and employees are to be brought together In a discus­ sion of "Labor Problems Resulting From the War," at a congress to be held at the University of Illinois, Feb­ ruary 14-16. The university, acting in conjunction with the Illinois Manufac­ turing association, the Illinois Coal Op­ erators' association, the national safety, council, the State Federation of Labor, and many other associations of employ­ ers and employees of the state, is hold­ ing the congress. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Charles Pieas of the fruited States shipping board, Victor 01ander„ secretary of the Illinois State Feder­ ation of Labor, and R. C. Richards, chairman of the central safety com­ mittee of the Northwestern railroad, are among many prominent speakers who have been asked to participate in the congress. , ; Springfield.--An Inquiry into the la­ bor situation throughout Illinois, con­ ducted by the department of labor, dis­ closes that the usual shortage has re­ mained substantially the same, except where extraordinary local conditions obtain. Opinion as to the repliace­ ment of men by women differs, but it Is evident that in certain cities femi­ nine labor is much more in demand. The report, made public by Barney Cohen, director, says that statements from Chicago show that nothing ap­ parent as yet has been noted generally in connection w'ith the shortage of la­ bor, particularly unskilled labor. To the contrary, there actually exists a surplus of this class. Springfield.--Orders were entered by the public utilities commission sus­ pending the June 28, 1918, proposed rates for electric power filed by the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois and affecting towns and cities, among them Kankakee and Joliet; au­ thorizing the company to Issue $2,000,- 000 of gold assets and $2,667,000 of gold bonds.

Springfield.--As a means of brtng- Ing revenue into,the Red Cross treas­ ury, Secretary of State Lewis L. Em- merson recommended that efforts be made to collect the 340,000 aluminum automobile seals Issued to automobile owners by the state last year. War conditions have made aluminum very valuable. The seals, now obsolete, were placed on the footboards of li­ censed machines to identify the cars in case the license plates were lost. Secretary Emmerson is not issuing any of these seals this year. Springfield.--"Sleepy places," is the epitaph applied to five Illinois cities in the Eighth federal district of the state by Collector of Internal Revenue J. L. Pickering with regard to making, re­ turns to the government on income taxes for the year 1917. Spring, while not as bad in this way as others, is Included In the five. Canton, Car- linville. Danville and Decatur are the remaining cities where income tax men have met with indifference on the part of taxpayers, according to the collec­ tor. Springfield.--Lack of freight serv­ ices, and shortage of help has caused the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis Rail­ road company to petition the state pub­ lic utilities commission for the right to close six offices along its line. Thejr are Fidelity, Maxwell, Tlce, Bishop, Parkland and Little Indian. The peti­ tion states that there Is no freight business at the points named, with the exception of Fidelity, and that the passenger business does not warrant keeping an agent at the offices. Springfield.--Col. Stephen O. Tripp, assistant quartermaster general of the Illinois National Guard; Col. Richard H. Abbott of the adjutaut general's of­ fice, and Capt. W. W. Austin of the ordnance department canceled a num­ ber of leases for armories all over the state.

When the train pulled out of Camp Grant with the 362 sturdy young men aboard for Camp Dodge there didn't seem to be one among them who wasn't glad. Bloomington.--Morris Donahue, gen­ eral road master of the Chicago & Al­ ton railroad, left for Washington, D. C., to testify at a hearing being con­ ducted there concerning wage sched­ ules of section men and other main­ tenance employees of Illinois railroads. Springfield.--Chicago's effort to ob­ tain relief from crime and criminals by obtaining the temporary suspension of the parole law resulted In failure. The best that the city can hope for is that the convicts who are paroled from the state Institutions in the near future will be kept out of Chicago. Even this is only "under^ considera­ tion," no definltejiromlses of any kind "being obtained By the Chicago alder­ men composing the subcommittee on crime from State- Superintendent of Pardons and Paroles Will Colvon and Superintendent of Prisons John L. Whitman, with whom they conferred, „ ;v!' SPRING GOWNS AT HOME AND ABROAD New York.--That large segment of people on this continent, called soci­ ety, which means those who have money to indulge in what they wfsh to do, has been unable to decide between two problems. i They did not knolr whether It was best to fight out the Cold ot heatless houses In the North or to take their chances of gett lug South within a few days after they started. Each case brought its train of evils. Each situ­ ation was full of discomfort. The majority at them shrugged their shoulders with the trick we are trying to learn from the French and used the phase that has become in­ corporated in our language, "dans la guerre, comrae la guerre." The dressmakers, who must be op­ portunists, divided their time between offering stay-at-home clothes that looked as though they were Intended for a Siberian winter, and thin ap­ parel that Is always associated with the sands of Palm Beach in February. Havana presents more novelty than the Florida, Georgia and South Caro­ lina cities. Another language Is spoken, other customs prevail and the Latin brush has been passed over everything and left its mark of color, allurement and brilliancy. There­ fore, the clothes that went to Cuba were extremely good looking. Shifting of Fashion. It is undoubtedly Important to take cognizance of the clothes that were invented for the South. They were put out In a tentative manner because of chaotic conditions that the war brought about not only iri travel, but in the expenditure of money. The dressmakers knew that no one would want these clothes except for Augus­ ta, Havana, Miami and Palm Beach. Aiken puts its faith in sport clothes. Possibly that Is because Aiken is easi­ ly more fashionable and has moro so­ cial prestige than any other colony foregathered tn the South, and as it Is Intimate and goes there for out­ door pleasure purely. It not only in­ dulges in new sport clothes, but In many, many old one®. The straight silhouette has been ap­ proved, the scarcity of material ac­ cepted, plaited skirts are accom­ plished and the verdict has been given for strictly tailored and mannish ap- pareL And yet, before fhe eyes, an ac­ tual and concrete fact, ure frocks that are girlish and futile and full of small and minor trifles that destroy ele- ; stance. There are fichus and ruchings and plaited bands of ribbon and silly sashes and awkward looping? at the ankles, and baby sleeves finished with ruffles and sometimes with a few blos­ soms. Is this the new silhouette produced by America? Has it anything to do with Paris? Is it a makeshift or a determined effort to change what has been into something that has been dropped? The Paris doom are opening to the few American buyers that have crossed the ocean, and the sketches of the new gowns, as they have been out­ lined in Paris, do not lead one to sup­ pose that there is any shifting of fash­ ion over there from a severe, straight silhouette to a Dolly Varden kind of a thing that is utterly unbecoming to the American woman and has nothing in common with her stern activities in wartime. Over there, Bullox, who has had a dominating influence on clothes for three years, has flu-own his cap over the windmill and gone in for the di- rectolre. This Is a fashion that the American woman wears in a manner peculiarly suitable to her figure and personality. Sleeves fit the arm at the top and MAKE USE OF THE REMNANTS branch Out into wide cuffs or flares that are lined with brilliant, striped silks, an<). the elongated decolletage that shows the neck only as far as the collarbone Is quite severe, edged with an upstanding ruche of , white tulle or organdie. Chains of brilliant quartz or carved, opaque stones drop over the plain, tight blouses In the early Italian fash- Ion. Sleeves are sometimes latticed, as they were in the days when Ghir- landaio painted the lovely Giovanna Tornibuonl on the canvas which is now owned by J. Pierpont Morgan. March will decide the issue between the two fashions. America is evident­ ly striving to produce a silhouette of her own, and she Is trying it out at the Southern resorts. It consists of a straight, narrow skirt and a short Eton jacket, or a drapery of material that suggests such a jacket. She Is destroying all severity of line by add-, lng ruchings, plaited ribbons and va­ rious kinds of ornamentation that bresk the surface and do not sharply outline it. The Spring Materials. There is a patriotic effort iniade by the American dressmakers to bring in such fabrics as are produced by our cotton mills. The use of the gayly colored calicoes of the South which have been worn by the negroes for generations, has long beeu advocated, and the use of the bandanua handkerchief for trim­ ming. It is quite possible that the northern part of the country has never quite realized the beauty of the cheap fabrics that are turned out in bales by the Southern mills. Calico has never come Into Its own In this country, although Paul Polret admired it more than any other na­ tional fabric that we offer. There is an effort being made to Introduce it at the Florida resorts this spring, and it may come about that we shall see it in a great variety of costumes late In the season. Jersey is rampant, and when made of artificial silk threads or of thin worsteds, it holds Its own in an amaz­ ing manner. The novelty jersey shows a creain or oyster white background with a large and rather grotesque or­ nament woven into it or applied by means of small beads. All the Chinese fabrics have been reinstated. Shantung lu Its Miakl color has again been found an ad­ mirable material, especially when 4*8 dullness is enlivened by a bit of Nat­ tier blue, deep scarlet and sometimes with a combination of black and or­ ange. Georgette crepe has a powerful po­ sition. It has taken on a bit of kin­ ship to the embroidered jersey by having stamped circles or interlaced rings dripping across Its surface. It comes in odd colors of light blue with rings of deeper blue. Brilliantly printed silks, usually of American make, are put back into the spring fashions, although they need an artist to incorporate them In a costume. The world is rather weary of the Futuristic designs, as they have been commonlzed in these silks to an alarming degree. The Italian strip­ ing is preferred, especially when used as a sash, as a turnover collar or as facings to the wide Italian sleeves that the Frewoh designers have pressed upon their public.

" Transparent Affair, All Ribbons, For and Lace, Delightful and Appro­ priate for a Gift Occasion. One of those delightful feminioe af­ fairs which so many women are re­ linquishing these days as luxuries can be made from scraps of remnants, leaving one's conscience entirely at rest. It Is a transparent affair, all rib­ bons, fur and lace. To make.It you will need three yards of Inch-wide rib­ bon cut into nine-Inch pieces. Then you will need a piece of for, prefera­ bly white, or swansdown would do, too. Also a piece of lace three-quar­ ters of a yard In length and about fl\'e Inches deep and sis rosebuds will be required. The fur Is sewed into a circlet for the head, and attached at Intervals of an inch are the 12 strips of ribbon. The ends of the ribbon are gathered up for a pompon on the crown of the head. A bit of sewing silk wround around them will hold them in the de­ sired position. The ends should be DAINTY FADS IN LINGERIE Pumpkin Yellow Blouae. Pumpkin yellow handkerchief linen Is developed Into a mannish-tucked front, sleevek»ss blouse to wear with a navy suit whose jacket is short and boxlike. I pointed or clipped into fishtail ends. Each one could be finished with a tiny rosebud if you want to make it extra elaborate. The lace is then sewed to make a ruffle from under the fur, from the sides of the front only and across the back. W ">re it stops over the ears it is gathered up slightly under three of the little rosebuds at each side. Altogether this is a delightful con­ fection worth remembering for gift time. The new "candy ribbons," so popular for trimming lingerie, could be employed instead of the conserva­ tive satin or moire in pastel shades with contrasting edges. Designers Hope That They Will Be Regarded as Practical Because of Comfortable Lines. Fashion Is Indulging her caprices in most wonderful bits of lingerie and they are a delight to behold, says a writer In the New York Herald. She Is hoping, too, that even her most con­ servative followers will be convinced that they are practical to wear because of their comfortable lines. Lingerie seems lovelier than usual this year, because there are so many patient French fingers whose only means of livelihood Is the, making of dainty garments. Pajamas fashioned along Chinese models offer wide oppor­ tunities for handwork. Pale blue crepe is utilized for the development of a most unusual pair of pajamas, the trou- serettes being finished at the lower edge with a deep hem of black satin. The jacket Is in square effect, bound front and back, armholes and neck, with satin. There are no sleeves. In fact, the fashionable trend Is toward the sleeveless sleeping garment. By- j A New Shade.
