NATRONA ‘CASPER’ WINS AS NAME GIVEN FOR LOAN TANK Natrona County's Record in Fourth Liberty Loan Takes Form of Letters Blazoned on War Machine The word “Casper” was selected by popular decision yesterday as che name to be given the army tank by virtue of Natrona county’s record in the Fourth Liberty loan. J. M. Wor- ley, chairman of publicity of the tenth Federal reserve district, with head- quarters in Kansas City, was notified by wire last night of the action taken here and instructed to sea that the word “Casper” should be emblazoned in bold letters on the tank. The executive committee in whose charge the contest was placed repoits that Casper was by far the most popular name submitted, 18 votes b=- ing in favor of this name against five for the next most popular. Natrona won the honor of making 3 tank by being one of the first ten counties of its size in the United States’ subscribing its quota.

C.—(Special.)—Ac. cording to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epi- demic of influenza in Spain has al ready caused an increase in the preva- lence and deaths from pulmonary tu- berculosis. A similar association be tween influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur News- holme, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, in hiy analysis of the tuberculosis death rate in England. In order that the people of the Unit- ed States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United States Pub- lic Health Service has just issued a warning emphasizing the need of spe- cial precautions at the present time. “Experience seems to indicate,” says the Surgeon General, “that persons whose resistance has been weakened by an attack of influenza are peculiar- ly susceptible to tuberculosis. With millions of its people recently affected with influenza this country now of- Ters conditions favoring tie spreud or |for the one-piece frocks as well. And! tuberculosis.” One Million Consumptives in the United States. “Then you consider this a serious} menace?” was asked. “In my opinion it is, though I hasten to add it is dis- uUnetly one against which the people ean guard. So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million cases of tuberculosis in the United States. There is unfortunately no complete census available to show ex- actly the number of tuberculosis per sons In each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the dis- ease reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been in force for many years, over 35,000 cases of tu- berculosis are registered with the De- partment of Health. Those familiar with the situation believe that the ad- dition of unrecognized and unreported cases would make’ the number nearer 50,000. The very careful health’s vey conducted during the past two years in Framingham, Mass., revealed 200 cases of tuberculosis in a popula- ton of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for the United States as a whole they would Indicate that about one In every hundred per- sons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against.” What to Do. In his statement to the public Sur- geon General Blue points out how those who have had influenza should protect themselves against tuberculo- sis, “All who have recovered from tn- fluenza,” says the Surgeon General, “should have their lungs carefully ex- amined by a competent physician. In fact, it is desirable to have several ex- aminations madea month apart. Such examinations cannot be made through the clothing nor can they be carried out in two or three minutes, If the lungs are found to be free from tuber- culosis every cffort should be made to keep them so. This can be done by right living, good food and plenty of fresh air.” Danger Signs. The Surgeon General warned espe- clally against certain danger signs, such as “decline” and “colds which hang on.” These, he explained, were often the | beginning of tuberculosis. “If you do not get well promptly, !f your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength decline, ren ber that these are often the early signs of tuberculo- sis. Place yourself at once under the care of a competent physician. Tuber- culosis is curable in the early stages.

They’re having high times in Paris Since the Yanks are over there, The prices are high in Paris, Out of sight, up in the air, But the highest things in Paris Are skirts on the ladies fair. PARIS, Nov. 18. (By Mail.)— They may be wearinging ’em higher in Hawaii but I doubt it. Really, a skirt nowadays in Paris is so short it’s positively curt. Figuratively speak- ing a 73 centimeter skirt is the height of fashion, and naturally if you get the most out of these skirts you just have to speak figuratively. Just figure to your self how short a 72 centimeter skirt really is, only don’t try to figure to yourself if you're wearing one. It.can’t be done. Seventy-three centimeters is not quite 29 inches in good round figures, and most of the figures I have seen are especially good round ones, indeed. Considering that the skirts are al- most as narrow as they are short, just think what a great saving in material this is. For of course that’s |the only reason why the dashing Parisian has adopted this shortage of skirt fashion—that and two other well understood reasons. It’s such a perfectly lovely way to help pay for the war, especially if you havé nice ankles, altho one déts have to go ab it farther than that on an al- lowance of only 73 centimeters and vemember it’s a long calf that has| no turning and that sometimes where there’s a knee there’s a knock.

Simple little one-piece dresses, all on the straight narrow lines (you can hardly call them straight long lines any more) are still the rage. altho Jeanne Lanvin and some of the other houses are showing a nar- now tight underskirt with a fuller tunic overskirt. Gabardine, black satin and crepe de chine are the favored materials, and much yarn embroidery and fringe of silk or yarn in vivid colors is used with striking effect on the more sombre-hued frocks of black, navy and tete de nigre. Terra cotta is a favorite color for coats of velour de laine or tunic blouses of crepe de chine. A combination of wool em- “broidery of nattier blue on a terra cotta blouse is typically Frenchy ani artistic. All shades of taupe, grey, putty and tan are popular, not only for the smart coats and tailleus banded and collared high with nutria or beaver. Those pet furs of the moment, but jout of all the pretty feet and legs so much in evidence, the great ma. jority are silk stockinged in one of | these taupe or putty shades and fin ished off with cunning little snub nosed oxfords of taupe or putt; suede with high Cuban heels and huge ties of two-inch grosgrain rib- bon. It’s really amazing how well sho? every Parisian woman is, whether she’s comtesse or cash girl. They a’ wear the cute little round toed shor vamp high boots or slippers that wr call the stage last but that over here now they have dubbed the Parisian last. Altho you see many fancy strapped slippers and Colonial styles with bright buckles the Oxford is the real favorite. Aside from the suede models it twinkles in lustrous patent kid with picked out perfora- tions of white.kid trimming it around the instep and across the tip or else with switchings of white. When the white trimmings are in evidence the black grosgrain ribbon ties are also edged with white. And-in spite of te ia Eighteenth and Curtis St» DENVER, COLO.
