PAGE EIGHT == ses s French and English Girls Working in Franos Are Housed Like Their American Sisters. French and English girls working in the offices of the American army in Montoir, Tours, Brest and Paris during the next few months, will be billeted with the American Young Women’s Christian association. These girls are organized into the army service corps and will be re- sponsible largely for the clerical work necessary in completing the records of the American army over- sess. The girls at Montoir, 100 in all, live in barracks. Those in the other cities live in houses which the Y. W. C. A. will secure for this use. As the work so closely resembles signal corps work, Miss Vera Shafer, who was director of that branch of overseas work, will be in charge. The plan for the management of the " houses is modeled after that of Ho- tel Moderne, where 30 French girls who worked in the American offices at Tours were housed under the di- rection of Miss Sarah Watson. The house was run on exactly the same plan as Y. W. C. A. signal corps and hostess houses, and was a great success, despite protests of many French women that girls of their nationality could not be allowed the same freedom that American girls were allowed.

D., Dec. 1.—The first hail losses suffered by farmers, who were protected under the state hail insurance law passed at the last ses- sion of the legislature, will be paid today. This action was determined upon by S. A. Olsness, state commis- sioner of insurance, to relieve farm- N ers whose losses were heavy and who cannot wait for their money until the hail assessment is collected. Payment will be made by register- ed warrants bearing six per cent in- terest. It is expected by the insur- anc: commission that these warrants will be accepted by all banks at par and the Bank of North Dakota has taken steps to prevent a discount. A census of the local banks was taken to ascertain if any will demand dis- counts. SENATOR WOULD DENY . ORIENT CITIZENSHIP (By United Press.) Washington, Dec. 1.—An amend- ment to the constitution, which would gdeny America cnitizenship to children born in this country of par- ents who themselves are ineligible to citizenship, is to be proposed shortly by Senator Jones of Washington. He announced today that the measure is aimed at Japanese and Chinese , whose children, if born| -~ here, are American citizens under the constitution. Designs That Meet Every Requirement In Common Sense Rt e | i - Lt MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1919 : q - 7 b o3 . : 7330 G52 577 o570 Berlin, (By Mail.)—Business men are laying complaints against the German telegraph system saying that in many cases, mails go faster than messages. Considerable business is lost thereby. By Maude Hall. Dresses that meet the requirements of style and common sense at one and the same time are of especial inter- est to women in all walks of life. They are the dominant style features just now because every high auther- ity from church to state is appeal- ing to.the women of the world to economize in dress in order to reduce the high cost of living and encourage} efforts to establish a more decorous 'standard in fashions. There may be some revolutionary departures in dress—also there may not be—but they will not change the keynote of simplicity. One finds in the little frocks for formal and in- formal wear, styled simple, too much variety in line and novelty in treat- ment to eountenace a shift to some- thing radically different. An interesting model for a one-piece frock that lends itself to many adap- Berlin, (By Mail.)—A wolf hound, a reminder of the dog in Jack Lon- don’s ““Call of the Wild,” roams in a forest preserve near the Swiss border.

A nar- row belt of self material holds in the fulness at the waist and at either side of the skirt there are pockets about twelve inches deep.
