Inele­ gant appearance. , One has a feeling that the exigen­ cies of war have made women get hold of alt the men's undershirts they could find, dip them in the dye pot, put a belt around them and use them with a plaited1 skirt. The one feeling of discouragement that the American importers have had abojjt the Abundance of jersey cloth etothes was caused by the sad tones which the buyers have chosen. An al­ most unlimited range ,of gney and beige predominates. Not one of these colors is especial­ ly attractive on the American wom­ an. It takes a peculiarly toned bru­ nette to wear string, mastic, cafe au lait, beige and the biscuit tones, and It takes a peculiarly toned blonde to wear gray in its several light shades thQt have neither blue nor mauve in them. However, the French designers have got around , this by using collars, belts, cuffs and facings of black, dark blue and white on these gray and beige jersey costumes. * It may,, be due to some Inability to Uye this new type of jersey that the sad colors are chosen, of it may be that the, manufacturers of materials in France prefer to us« the gray and beige in these everyday ifuits and keep the gorgeous colons for evening and afternoon frocks. Havqt Long Tunic Coats. The majority of the Jersey suits, and they may be called frocks as well, have long, tunic coats that r^ach to the knefes and must be slipped on over the head through the opening at the neek. These coats are as shape­ less as the costumery of the tenth century, and they depend entirely upon the girdle for a silhouette of any grace or distinction. One of the best of the Jersey frocks* which was instantly snapped up by the American woman, is a combination of black and cafe au lait. The top of t lie skirt is of the latter color and is slightly held in at the waistline so that it will not stretch in an ungainly manner across the hips and spine. It is cut off across the hips in a sharp Hue that turns and outlines a panel in the back. The lower half of the skirt is of black jersey, joined to the top in such a manner that it gives a slight barrel effect and then curves in to the ankles and falls in an irregular line at the hem, which is the prevailing note of the really smart frock. The slim bodice clings to the figure like the This frock is made of blue gaberdine and the -curve at the knees is accen­ tuated by machine stitchery in blue and embroidery in blue beads.

This Is not the time or place to In­ dulge in a summary of the triurbphal procession of jersey from an out- lander to a conqueror. Women have used the word as well as th£ weave Indifferently, and they speak of it slightly as a thing of the beach, the country lane and the hard benches about the field of sport. Ev*!n the higfi price of the slender ' fabric, which Chanel took it into her head to embroider with gold and sil- -ver, did not make women stop to con- Cider that such a riotous extravagance |Mtd a purpose behind it, Jersey coats and skirts were trimmed with fur, worn during the Summer months and hung in the closet a£ other- times, i They were a bit more of a caprice than a colored sweater, so women thought, but the manufactur-' ers' thought ran in another vein. They saw in jersey cloth a sturdy, reliable ' fabric that could b£ standardized and kejit continually on the market like Serge. ^ Amazing Success of Jersty Cloth. 4 At the moment, it looks as though the manufacturers have thought bet­ ter than the public. Jersey not only rivals serge in "the spring clothes, but "funs ahead of it.

To keep the tone of the cafe au lait away from the face, there is a wide, rolling, horse collar of black, and the long, tight sleeves, which are buttoned from elbow to wrist, flare so far over the hands that they have to be rolled back carelessly to show a black facing.

'No, it is not particularly new, tfts » &scinating way of cohering one's ears, •' it is always universally becoming, ' and is Estill the "latest," says an ex­ pert haiHIresser. , However, there are Npme few who make a very poor at­ tempt at "bobbing* 'their hair. "How " ' do yow manage to make your fiiiir look ap nice over the ears?" one damsel #111 say to another more skilful than fNerself. "My hair is so thin that I #n't possibly puff It." "My hair is to thick that It stieks way out," are the imutfl complaints. WeH, for the iifto-thin haired there come in the way boon tiny rats that can be tucked Waderneoth the scantiest of locks to give them the pice rounded appear­ ance of the ideal "bob." And all that the too-thick crop* requires is 1 thiuner Strands for the ear covering. x One strand on each side of the head, rolled and brought back to be caught la the "knob," and that is the secret of this mode or halrdresslng. Of course, the woman, a bit up in years will not desire the exaggerated coiffure of the flapper, but a less thin strand of hair water-waived and a little aft of the cheek. But above all things, be careful not to "rough" the hair to produce the de­ sired puff. In a short while such abu­ sive treatment results In a distressing thinness and split condition <JT the hair. If there is any objection to the use of a rat, then the homemade vari­ ety might suit.

Right: Eastern Entrance of the«Tunn*V Showing Gases Being Blown Out by the Ventilating Engine and Fan Located at the Other Portal. The Connaught tunnel, 'driven through the Selkirk mountains in British Columbia, was opened for traffic on December 9, and is the longest railway tunnel on the North American continent. It is exactly 26,400 feet, or five miles, lgng, and carries a double-track line. It shortens the rail route by 4.3 miles, reduces the elevation of the track through the mountain pass by 552 feet, eliminates 4% miles of snowsheds, and cuts out curves to the extent of seven complete circles. The cost was $5,500,000, including a ventilating sys­ tem. Wort was started on the main bore January 15, 1914. from both ends. The headings met and passage through the tunnel was effected December 19, 1915, making a new North American record for rapid work of this character. The tunnel passed Under Mount Macdonald, which towers to a height of 6,000 feet above the new railway grade.--Popular Mechanics Magazine. BaRS ARE FOILS.

What is really the matter with the railroads? is a question that is pus- zllng a good many people nowadays. Is it shortage of rolling stock, or men, or both; or Is It general Inefficiency that Is responsible for the deplorable conditions existing today? (Jf cburse the railroads could use a great many more cars if they had effi­ cient men to handle them, but in the opinion of competent observers effi­ ciency of many employees has deterio­ rated at least to the extent of the ad­ vance In wages and many of the most desirable employees have been at- qoeh.M. sweeiM to the east toward by higher the Blue Ridge, we have a Ijranch line ^ J K breaking into the foothills of the Al- leghanys, climbing and winding through the wild wooded timber coun­ try of the Ganoga region, and many are the interesting tales tinged with un atmosphere of the bear tribe that emanate from that mountainous sec­ tion. One cold bitter night last February a heavy freight train was slowly toll­ ing up a long steep grade striving to make a siding farther on to permit the evening passenger train, then due. to pass. When about half way be­ tween two stations which, In that vicinity, are a considerable distance apart, it plunged suddenly iqto a big snow drift and stalled. It was about nine o'clock and intensely dark. The flagman, quickly alive to the situation and the need of protecting the passen­ ger train following, quickly grabbed his lantern--red and white--hurried­ ly buttoned his heavy coat about him, pulled his cap over his ears and plunged Into the darkness. He had gone possibly a quarter of a mile and was just entering a long deep cut when four lean, ravenous bears clam­ ored out of the thicket and started after him. There was but one course to pursue. He could not turn back. It was necessary to * flag the train ahead of him--the safety of the pas­ sengers depended upon that. To climb the steep sides of the cut was Impos­ sible. To stop meant a fight and prob­ able meal for the bears. His only safe­ ty was In flight. So, still clinging to the lanterns, he ran along the track, stumbling and hurrying, with the bears in dose pursuit, running evenly for nearly a mile when his wind began to give out. The bears, hampered by the uneven course and darkness, man­ aged to keep about fifty yards behind. The hard pace was rapidly telling on the flagman. He was about to resign himself to his fate when a happy in­ spiration struck him. He stopped and heard the grizily quartette approach­ ing with thumping tread. He waited until they were close enough to feel their breath, then started running in a circle, the bears following closely. He quickly unscrewed the oil cups of the lanterns and poured the oil as he ran until he had completed the circle, edging toward the^ center followed by the bears, he touched a match to the oil and knowing the bears' fear of fire, he jumped through his circle of flame with the bears terror-stricken and im­ prisoned within. He hurried down the track in the direction of the oncom­ ing passenger train, which he man­ aged to stop, the engineer being at­ tracted by the flames of the fiery clr% cle. The situation was quickly ex­ plained and the train shot down through tjie cut and the flames, killing the four bears outright and lgn^ipg them on the cow-catcher of the en­ gine. wages than the railroads are paying, says Iron Trade Review. There seems also to be physical exhaustion and a breaking down of spirit due to the long and unprecedentedly severe strain to which railroad employees have been subjected. After all, questions relat­ ing to men are fully as important as those relating to equipment in the railroad situation. What Is the remedy? Cars and equip­ ment will, of course, he available in sufficient numbers in the course of time, but the human factor is more uncertain. No one can tell what the supply of labor will be after the war has ended, but employees should re­ member one thing: A day of reckon­ ing is coming. The laggards of today will be remembered In coming: years, when the demand for men win not be such as It is today. So will the faith­ ful workers be remembered. The man who gives to his job the very best that Is in him will not fall to receive his re­ ward when some day--no one can tell exactly when--a period of depression again prevails in this land, a time when there will be more men than jobs. BUT ONE KMI IN SO THOUGHT Carefully Rolled Broken Knuckle Out of Way That Other Employees Had Walked Around. A man* with dirty face and hands, shirt soaked with perspiration, stopped, laid down his dinner bucket, rolled a broken knuckle out of the pathway between the tracks, put it close up against the ends of the ties where no one could stumble over it, picked up his dinner bucket and plod­ ded home. • More than 50 other employees had preceded this man, each one carefully picking his way around the obstruc­ tion. 1 asked this man why he took the trouble to roll this knuckle out of the pathway. He seemed surprised at such a question and said: "Why, some of the boys might get a bad fall if that knuckle was there after dark." I said: "All the other men passed it by," and he replied: "O, they're all good boys, they'd have done the same if they'd thought about it." He said something, didn't be? "If they'd thought about it." Ah* yes, "if they'd thought about it."-- Erie Railroad Magazine. MANY NEW PAPER PROCESSES Procettt of De-lnking Old Newspapers So They May Be Used Again Has Been Evolved. of the more recent develop­ ments In the crusafle to bring down the high cost of paper have been the the tests for making newsprint from old papers and further consideration of the subject of producing nbrous pulp from cotton stalks, the Wall Street Journal states. A process of de-inking old newsprint has been evolved by Dr. Thomas Jes- person of Neenah, Wis. Doctor Jes- person has invented a solution which successfully removes the ink from old paper and bleaches it a pure white. The ink used In printing newspapers Is largely constituted of lamp black and various oils. Although it has been generally known for years that chlorine would accomplish this delinking process, no attempts, prior to Doctor Jesperson's experiment, are known to have been made to introduce this system as a commercial factor. About 5,000 tons of newsprint* are consumed daily in the United States in the printing of newspapers. The old papers are gen­ erally sold to paper manufacturers as old stock. Every paper mill has a number of girls in Its employ 'who assort the old papers received, and about three tons dally are thrown aside. This castoff -material Is now used In the manufacture off cheaper grades of paper, boxboard, etc. „ A mill at Neenah has made paper by reducing such castoff paper to pulp -after it has been bleached. Paper made by this method, using the de- inlclng substance, has been used by some small newspapers, who report that It Is apparently not different from the brand-new material. The subject of manufacturing pulp for paper from cotton stalks has come up repeatedly In the past and has been under con­ sideration by chemists in Germany as well as the United States department of agriculture. A meeting was held recently in the office of the state commissioner of ag­ riculture to consider the advisability of using stalks from Texas cotton fields for this purpose. Texas annual­ ly ha# about 12,000,000 acres sown to cotton, and Rtalks In this area have an estimated weight of 15,000,000 tons, which would be available for paper manufacturing. The Broccoli Plant. If the man who succeeds In grow­ ing two blades of grass where only one grew before Is one of the greatest benefactors of mankind, what shall be said of him who is able to produce six or eight heads of the cabbagelike broc­ coli where only one grew previously, and, what Is more, has made the plant a perennial? That is what'ah English horticultur­ ist recently achieved. A writer In Chambers' Journal tells of one of these new plants from which the grower cut fifteen h^a^s six or seven Inches in diameter. / The broccoli should be of Inestimable value to the small gardener, especially If he happens Jo have an odd corner where he can let the plants grow undis­ turbed. Once they become established they assume the proportions of young bushes, and throw out their heads in all directions. They demand very lit­ tle weeding; and as their roots thrust themselves deep Into the soil, they are not appreciably affected by dry weath­ er. In the spring, as soon as the shoots begin to run, the plant needs some thinning; but there is no waste, for the shoots when cooked form an appetizing dish of the flavor of asparagus. The fact that to cut 27 massive heads from a dozerr plants Is no • un­ usual achievement gives an idea of the prolific yield of this novelty among cabbages.--Youth's Companion. Died of Premature Old Age! How many times we hear of com­ paratively young persons parsing away when they should have lived to be 70 or 80 years of age. This fatal work Is nsually attributed to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys degenerate, it causes auto-intoxication. The more injuri­ ous the poisons passing thru the kid­ neys the quicker will those noble or­ gans be degenerated, and the sooner they decay. It is thus the wiMdt policy, to pre­ vent premature olflTge and promote long life, to lighten the work of the kidneys. This can be done by drink­ ing plenty of pure water all day long, and occasionally taking Anurlo, double strength, before meals. This can be obtained at almost any drug store.
