Rotterdam.--^-Holland has established * great cordon along the German fron- | tier to prevent the influx of large numbers of Russian Bolshevik agents from Germany. Heavy guards are maintained so that persons wishing to cross thp boundary in either direction must pass through frontier posts and over recognized highways. Those who attempt surreptitiously to cross run the llik of being shot. Soviets Still Busy. [ These precautions hare faired, flowever, to check the movement of Soviet agents. Men whom the police would like to Interview have been seen in this city and Amsterdam, but when the police set their dragnet for their quarry the men wanted have utterly vanished. Later ther^* usually comes Information that the suspects have been found In Germany and are on their way to the Russian frontier. The system followed resembles the "underground railroad" by which fugitive slaves moved through northern states to Canada la the days before [the Civil war. Police surveillance Is attempted In mburg and some other German cities, but it usually comes to naught, as there are elements In Germany which •re friendly to the Soviet Russian government. It Is declared here that Germany is "almost as good a haven as Russia for Bolshevik agents." Radical agitators are frequently found In the Ruhr mining region of Germany, near the allied areas of occupation, where they seem to move about ff*hout restraint i . Headed for United States. * Hie "underground railroad" Is utilised by Soviet agents to bring Into Holland Bolshevik "missionaries*" who are to make attempts to reach America. There appears to be a constant current of these men crossing and recrosslng the frontier. Every means of getting them into Holland Is used.

Burg Eltz, than to most European relics of the feudal days, and the reports Just published that It has been destroyed by fire will be of Interest to thousands. Situated near the little town of Moselkern on the Mosel river, the Burg Eltz towered over miles of surrounding virgin forests, it dates back to the thirteenth century, and was said to be one of the best preserved castles In Europe. Poles have gone to America, and some of them have been deserters from General PilsudRkl's armies. It is said regularly organised bureaus were established to help these men evade military duty and go forward Into Holland, and that among them were many Bolshevik agents. They had been engaged In propaganda work behind the Polish lines during the recent Soviet drive on Warsaw, and when the drive was crushed they fled westward and Joined their comrades In this country. Reports have been received here (hat many Bolshevik sympathisers who were last year deported as undesirables from America are to be returned to that country. Polish officials assert a special bureau has been created here to.take care of this class of "emigrants," and carry out carefully laid plans for getting the agitators back into the United States. :------ ;-- i---i1 Found on Stamp {^covered Tn Pennsylvania University's Collection of Tablets From Babylonia* IT IS A LIKENESS OF HI-SIN future of the Last King of Ur Is " a Clay Stamp and Is as Clearly f * Defined as the Day It * *** • Was Made. ^ fhlladelphia. Pa.--What 1s believed to be the oldest portrait of a human ^etng has been discovered In the University of Pennsylvania's museum collection of clay tablets from Babylonia according to an announcement by Curator La grain of the Babylonian section. The portrait Is on a clay "postage stamp," which also served as a seal for a registered package, dated about 2300 B. O. It Is a likeness of Ibl-Sln, the last king of Ur, known to Bible students as Ur of the Chaldee. The package or sack bearing the seal. Doctor Lagraln said, appears to have been sent by the high priest of the Temple of Ur, in which Abraham later worshiped, to a banker named i f&hulpae, and probably contained gold. Shows Personal Appearance. "It is of unusual importance to archeologi8ts," he added, "because It probably gives a clew to the personal appearance of the Sumerians. "The portrait is on a clay stamp. It Is as clear and distinct and the features as well defined as the day It was maje. The astonishing thing Is that Girls Good Machinists, Says Bureau Director Washington.--Training In machine £hops where light parts are made is advocated for girls by Mary Anderson, director of women's bureau of the United States Department of Labor. "As a result of the war," says the report, "women have gained a new position In Industry not to be relinquished. The fact that women render as good service In machine shops as In clothing factories makes it a public responsibility to offer girls training In these new occupations." It shows the god-king as smooth shaven. It is significant that the picture shows a lock of hair projecting In the forehead from beneath the turban hat and another from behind. Ibl-Sin Was Different. "Before the days of Ibi-Sin we never heard of a king giving any one a seal containing his portrait, bin In this Instance the seal not only distinctly says the king-god gave the seal to the high priest of the Temple of Ur, but shows a picture of the event "Possibly the fact that Ibl-Sln was the last of his dynasty and may have seen the end coming, was responsible for this remarkable gift." Aged Indian Never In Bed. Minneapolis, Minn.--John Smith, aa aged Chippewa Indian, arrived In Minneapolis recently with his adopted son, Tom Smith, to attend the state fair. John, who is 133 years old. has become blind since his last visit to Minneapolis a year ago. His health Is still good, however, he maintains He is said to be the oldest living In* dlan. "I don't see any more, but I still' like to travel," the old Indian said. With him he brought his blanket, upon which he sleeps, never having slept In a bed. - t>EAD WAIT SHIPMENT Bodies of Yankee Heroes Are in French Ports. Thousand Bodies Already Have ^ Brought Back--All Raq»a*ad From Germany. ' . 1.1" Paris.--Nearly 9,000 bodies of American soldiers who died or were killed to France during the war have been •hipped to the United States and turned over to their nearest relatives, and 1,800 more await shipment at French ports. It is announced by the United States grave registration service. The work of removing the bodies of fallen Americans is expected to ba completed by next summer. ; Nearly 60 per cent of the bodies of American officers and enlisted men buried in French soil will be returned to the United States, according to recent estimates. At frequent mteryala parents, and, wives of dead ^oldlers come to France to remove the remains of their relatives, but upon seeing the cemeteries here and learning of the extreme care taken of them have decided upon France as the final resting place for the fallen. The exhumation of bodies within the war sone began on September 15, and since then work has been completed In 17 cemeteries. Operations at Bony, the first of the big American cemeferles, has begun, and 55 per cent of the men burled there will be sent to the United States. Nearly 2,000 men will work all winter In order to complete the removals by next summer. The task of exhuming the bodies of soldiers buried in Great Britain has been finished, 80 per cent of them being qhipped to the United States. Removal of bodies from occupied areas In Germany and Luxembourg has just been completed, and all of tiiem were sent to America. Working forces will begin operations In Belgium next month, and from cemeteries In that country 1.0511 bodies will be removed. The work of exhumlnf bodies In Brest, Bordeaux and St Lazare areas has been completed, and now the efforts of the Americans wHl be concentrated on the war zone; It is not probable that the first of the uniform headstones recently decided upon by the war memorials council will be set in the four permanent eteries until next autumn. Fear Causes Blindness Wabash. Ind.--Mrs. George M, Rk*» of Liberty Mills is temporarily blinded as the result of stepping on a nail. The wound was not serious, but fear of blood poisoning caused the blood vessels in both Mrs. Rice's eyes to burst, according to physicians. She has taken to a Fort Wayne hospital for treatment In an effort to restore her eyesight At 12 years of age Tennyson had produced an epic of 6.000 lines, and at 14 a drama in blank verse.

The girls object Saved From Dog in Battle in Stream Harrisburg, Pa.--Just as a mongrel dog was pulling down a fine six-prong deer in the Cold Spring run Charles B. Baum, traveling game protector, arrived. He shot the dog with his revolver and the buck deer bounded away Into the forest. Baum was assisting in the work of establishing a new game preserve on the Pine Grove reservation and heard the baying of the dog as it trailed the deer for many miles. Finally the hunted animal became exhausted, and taking refuge in the stream made a last fight for its life. The arrival of Baum saved It Qlum Thought for Pessimists.

Qolumbus, Ind.--When Earl StRt, farmer, recovers from an illness which has kept him confined to his bed. the world will seem brighter to him for he will have proven that his neighbors are not neighbors In name only. Taking advantage of a moonlight night they cut the sugar cane in a large field and carried it to a sorghum mill, where it will be turned into molasses without cost to the sick man. These neighbors also cut a supply of wood for the winter and cleaned np the farmer's crops, so that now he has nothing to worry about. Travels of a Wallet Morgantown, W. Va.--Twelve years ago L. E. Friend, local photographer, started to the bank with a wallet containing $100 In cash and a number of checks. The same, old wallet, with checks and papers1 Intact, but minus the $100 is again in his bands, having been picked up by a man who wa» honest. It is believed that the finder of twelve years ago had skillfully ex tracted the currency and thrown tT • parse away. . . . '"k, 11. -;'V4r " Decoration Aids in Carrying Out Vary Effective Results In the Mors Fashionable Informal Stot ning Frocks. Tha long court train haa returned. It la seen in the best dressmaking circles for the first time in several years. The resumption Of social life by the many women who were engaged In war work set the dressmakers to designing clothes of a more formal character. During the war years the patriotic woman thought only of serving her country and doing so In the most suitable dress that she could find. Then came the period of wild extravagance that followed the signing of the armistice. In the history of faslllons this will go down as a time when clothes were elaborate, with little of beauty or good taste to recommend them. It seemed that everything possible in the way of decoration .or elaboration was combined in a single model. Now, asserts a leading fashion correspondent, we see the reaction. The lines of the best clothes made today are very simple. There is elaboration, It Is true, but It is a dignified elaboration. Some models are really works of art In the beauty of drapery and cleverness of design. Their very simplicity makes them appear as though any one might have mode them, whereas they could have been only created by the brain and hand of an artist Bride's Dream of Whita Satin. Lanvln features the long court train heavily embroidered. One of her most Interesting models Is a bride's dress of white satin having a court train richly embroidered in white. This falls from the shoulders in one continuous piece, being attached to the bodice by means of an embroidered band which crosses the front Just above the decolletage. Long bishop slaves of tulle, the lower half embroidered In white, are a feature of this dress. "Embroidery also ap pears across the front of the bodies and on the full, supple straight skirt. A Lanvln model of black satin with the embroidered court train falling from the shoulders is held in place by an embroidered band about four inches wide which passes over the shoulders and crosses the front. Panels hanging at each side of the dress are of satin shirred In at the bottom to embroidered tassels the ends of which are of black satin ribbon. The skirts of even the most dignified frocks still are short, although several of the best designers are showing skirts a trifle longer than thoas now actually being worn. ' Sash Train Lends 8martness. A surprising number of the more Informal evening frocks have trains. They may be only sash ends, and this, by the way, is a favorite method of evolving a train for a simple evening dress. Very effective are the results achieved through these sash trains. A plain little frock of orchid pink chiffon may be made with the neckline as high as those worn on street frocks and cut in the stralght-across shallow line. The waist may be low and blouslng, with the skirt short and straight Then, to make It the last word In smartness!, a sash of two tones of pink, m i very bright shade, is tied about the low waist Una and several inches of one of the gayiJ < colored ends trail on the ground. A model of this kind Is as adaptable as It can ba, because the-, sash ends may be shortened, or the sash removed altogether and any sort of a girdle used, so that one has a simple afternoon dress which may be worn anywhere. Train dresses of this sort are, of course, In direct opposition to the one which is decidedly fonnal, but it, too, has its practical side, for the band supporting the train is uiade separate from the dress and Just slips over the^ shoulders. Train Makes Its Own Laws. The train, having once got back Into the limelight, takes to itself many liberties. It absolutely refuses to abide by any set rules. It may even fall from the front of a dress. A frock created by one of oar own American Frock of Gray Mousseline Embroider, ed in White and Gold Threads. designers has a very uneven hem, the front being extremely short and the skirt falling much longer at the sides and back. There Is a sash which ties In a bow directly In the front and the long ends hang to the ankles several inches below the bottom of the skirt. To accentuate the appearance of the unevenness of the hem there are side panels also longer than the skirt. Perhaps the most popular place for a train is at one side. The wrappeda round effect with the drapery drawn across the stomach, as tn this model. Is very prominent In fashions. These models, slightly draped at the waistline In a free and easy manner, are quite a contrast to the tightly draped princess dress sponsored by Madeleine et Madeleine. Dresses of thfs sort usually fasten st the left side This one illustrates, too, the liking for black and white In evening frocks. It Is of white velvet, showing a long side panel of black velvet and black tulle. The large flat flowers are of velvet and tulle. The back of the dress Is draped in the same manner as the front Black Broadcloth for Evening Wear Ever So many of the skirts which wrap tightly around the figure have fullness let In by means of narrow godets on one side only toward the front. They may be laid In where the skirt laps over and forms the closing. Cheruit has resorted to black broadcloth for evening dress. She embroiders It in white. One such model has a novel skirt, with one side wrapping over the long train, while the other comes from underneath the train, fitting the figure quite snugly. On the skirt are two bands of embroidery In leaf design. Long, full sleeves are of white lace. So, also are the sides and back of the bodice, the latter having an appliqued square of the broadcloth. Another model which Is very lovely is of white brocade and black lace. It shows the corsage swathed about the bust and cut fairly low in the back. A length of the b'a** outlines the square decolletage at the back. This band, about six Inches at the small of the back, widens until it Is at least twelve Inches over the shoulders, and then It falls at the front in pointed ends. The skirt is short and of the wrapped type, and there Is a black lace train attached to the waistline at the side. Scarf Adda Distinctive Toueh. A most Important movement In evening dresses might be termed the soarfllke movement It appears on many models and may be described In this way: The silhouette of a straight chemise dress Is changed by attaching a scarf to the hem of the skirt or to the belt of the dress. Scarifs starting at the belt line always loop at the bottom of the dress and then up, forming the bodice, swathing the shoulders and falling down one side. These scarfs are of the same material as the dress. This season's evening dresses are much less decollete than they have been for some time past. All of the models today show a rather high neck line for evening gowns. In place of fur or tulle, English worn en are using ribbon as a neck wrap. Green an Approved Color Shade la Regarded by Dams Fashion as One of Favorites for Fall and Winter Wardrobe. Whan considering the fall and winter wardrobe dq not overlook tha. fact that Dame Fashion has very deflnlte'y approved green. As so many different shades of green available practically every woman should be able to find one that Is becoming. But bear In mind also that If green is unbecoming-- that la. If a shade Is unwisely selected--the loveliest and costliest frock Imaginable may be a grievious disappointment. One very charming afternoon frock recently displayed was of olive greed georgette embroidered In a scroll design In gold thread and held in at the wais^ with a rather heavy gold girdle. A street frocfc made of bottle green chiffon velvet features a Moused waist Open'ns o\»-r a vest of gold lace. A very chti tailored stilt of dork green J"-'". duvetyn la trimmed with collar and cuffs of chinchilla. Oriental embroidery Is now an attractive feature of blouses. It Is, however, not confined to blouses alone, as dresses, capes and even linperte are trimmed with the oriental embroidery. About Shosa. Many of the new shoes will show a certain amount of French influence, for there will be straps of all varieties and a short effect in the» moderately pointed toes--a compromise between the extremes of the long American vamp and the stubby Fren'-h toes. Shades will deepen; the white, the pale gray and the sand color slippers will disappear, of course, and dark gray, taupe, russet, browu and black will take their place. Pumps and oxfords will share the favor of the smart woman for street wear, and iu wet stormy weather Ugh laced boott will be worn.

However deplorable the fact nay be, playing two-handed pinochle at 25 cents a hand Is one of the favorite diversions of commuters between this city,, New York, Atlantic City.

One man, who carries his pleasure as well as his worries home from work, was playing pinochle In his library the other evening with a crony, when the butler entered and handed him a telegram. He returned it unopened. "I'll look at It later." "But the messenger is waiting, sir," the butler respectfully remonstrated. The financier read the telegram. It said: "Struck 8,000-barrel gusher today. Everything fine." "Confound you, Thomas, why did yon spoil my game?" he cried.
