After -the -War Suggestion.
Australia's first new industry for
the benefit of returned soldiers is sug-
gestive to the Motherland. She has
found that, by means of a handloom,
soldiers can in a few weeks be taught
to weave woollen or silk articles. This
industry of haudloom-weaving is cap-
able of indefinite extension. 'T'en thou-
sand'returned Anzacs can be profit-
ably engaged, to the benefit of every
• wearer of clothes. From this small
beginning may grow activities which
. ee ou d end the importation of shoddy
fi cloth. from overseas, and the happy
resettlement of every soldier who has
no taste for farming, but prefers town
employment. Properly organized a
e industry like �La us 1 e this
ca 6 y which has
no limit except the readiness of the
people to buy and wear good cloth.
This suggestion offers the happiest
solution of oneof ther
most st uzz in
l
p
g
problems that will fall for solution in
the future: What shall we do for our
heroes, returned from the war? There
is this answer: Set them to weaving
good Cloth^order',it and wear itl.

11 Skirts for Spring 11
Whatever the forecasters of spring
styles may disagree about, on one
point they are more or less agreed,
and that is that skirts will be narrow-
er at the hem. There will be no flare
whatever, and even if some skirts are
not actually narrower they will at
least appear so from the absence of
the flare. Many skirts, however, are
appreciably narrower. They mea-
sure from two to two and a quarter
yards at the lower edge. When we
compare these measurements with the
three and four -yard skirts that were
worn last spring, it leaves no doubt
as to .the change. From the Par-
isian openings, which are now being
held, we hear that the narrow skirt is
no longer a rumor, but a fact.
Separate skirts and blouses take on
quite a good deal of importance this
spring. The fact that separate skirts
are in demand for, sports wear will
bring them very uch into promin-
ence. There are more skirts of sports
silks and satins than of any other
skirting materials. The sports silks
in one -color effects, or in two shades
with large spots or stripes on a
neutral background, seem to be the
most popular.
As for the blouses, we may witness
a. revival of the garden smock, which
took so strong a hold a summer or so
ago. One of these recently seen was
quite different from the smock as we
knew it last summer. It was of
tango -red crepe, long and loose, and
slipped on over the head. It was

shirred at the neck and at the should-
ers along an oval line, which was em-
phasized by a piping of yellow crepe
trimmed with wool embroidery. The
!smock hung unbelted over the skirt to
the knees, after the 'manner of most
garden smocks. The red and yellow
combination in this smock showed
the influence of the Indian colorings,
one of the new notes in sports clothes.

FLY OVER OCEAN IN TWO DAYS.
Fokker Airplane Inventor Lets Loose
Some Predietions,
Herr Fokker, the builder of on'e of
the most successful military flying
machines used in the German and
Austrian armies, predicts an era of
aerial passenger traffic after the war.
Speed, he says, is bound to make air-
craft a popular vehicle of travel, but
only for great distances, for which
reason the inventor predicts the suc-
cessful operation of aircraft on routes
between Europe and the United States
which will run in competition with
trans-Atlantic liners.
Herr Fokker believes the first at-
tempt to fly from Europe to New
York will be made immediately after
the war, and asserts the route can be'
traversed in two days at the outside.
He is of the opinion that all technical
handicaps will be easily overcome,
MARCH WEATHER
RHEUMATIC WEATHER
'Victims Can Cure Themselves
With Dr. Williams'
Pink `Pills.
With the corning of March people
who are afflicted with rheumatism
begin to have unpleasant reminders
of their trouble. The weather is
changeable—balmy and springlike
one day, raw cold and piercing the
next. It is such sudden changes of
weather that sets the pangs and tor-
tures of rheumatism, lumbago and
sciatica going. But it must be borne
in mind that although weather condi-
tions start the pains, the trouble is
deeply rooted in the blood, and can
only be cured through the blood. All
the lotions and Iiniments its the'
world can't cure rheumatism. Rub-
bing may seem to ease the pain while
you are rubbing, but there its value
ends. Only through the blood can
yoo cure rheumatism. That's why
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have so
many thousands of cures of this
trouble to their credit. The new,

479GW VARIETY OF BARLEY,
Dominion Cerealist Recommends
Manchurian Ottawa 50.
This six -row barley is a selecti
made several years ago by the Domi
ion Cerealist from the old, commerci
sort, Mensury, which has been favo
ably known in Canada for a long ti
and has .been successfully grown
i very many districts.
As the tests in regard to yield a
still in progress, final conclusio
cannot yet be drawn; but it may b
stated that the new selection appea
to. he, for many sections of this coun
try, the most productive barley know
among those sorts which have fairl
satisfactory straw. Tho straw of thi
barley is of good length and strengti
as compared with other popular six
row sorts; but it should be emphasiz
ed that even the best barleys have
tentancy to lodge when sown on ric
soil,' in seasons when moisture i
plentiful. The heads of this variety
are,exceptionally long and heavy, and
herein, perhaps, lies the secret of its
large yield. In very high winds it
does not behave quite so well as some
of the other sorts as it shows a tend-
ency for the heads to break off at the
base, and for the kernels to thresh out
out the pefsonous acid dud on the ground. However these objec-

Interest of War Loans Amounted to 'time'

flcance of the millions of pounds
which are daily mentioned in the
papers.
It has been announced that the in-
terest on the debt created by the war
loans of 1914-15 amounted to £38,-
445,856, or $192,229,280 for the finan-
cial year which ended last March.
Supposing it were possible to place
a line of sovereigns which represented
this amount close together, the line
would about reach from London to In-
verness,

If a man were invited to pick up
each sovereign separately, and he was
able to Iift thirty sovereigns every
minute, and worked five hours a day,
it would take him about twelve years
to pick them up, working every day of
the year.
Or a footbridge could be built

Calais, nearly two feet wine, the stir -

would only represent the amount of
interest payable in one financial year
for the loans created in 1914-15.

11 iYST'ERIES OF SCIENCE.
Many Hidden ;influences That Are Not
Yet Understood.
The most remarkable feature In the
motion of the planet Mercury, says a
Modern astronomer, is that when it to
nearest the sun it travels faster then
it should if it moved only by the at-
traction of the known bodies of the
solar system. Astronomers have long
sought an explanation of the acceler-
ated motion. The influence may Pos-
sibly proceed from some other une
known planet revolving within its or-
bit. Whatever the cause, the effect
is unmistakable. There are hidden
influences that as yet are a deep mys.
tery to the astronomer. Science is full
of things similarly inexplicable. They
are all about us, calling to mind the
word spoken in the old time to one
incredulous because of the mys-
tery of religion, "The wind bloweth
where it listeth, thou hearest the
sound thereof, but canst not tell
whence it cometh and wither it go-
eth." The mysteries of science are as
inexplicable as those of religion, Life
is full of hidden influences that im-
pinge on the spirit of man. and are
unmistakable in their working.
