Swears Falsely About His Age to Enlist in U.S. Navy A worried mother appealed to Lieisenant Waddell to get her son released from the navy. Tears formed in her eyes and she went away pondering ovej the best course to, pursue. The lad had furnished a forged paper, purporting to be the mother's consent to his enlistment, she said. The boy is under 16 years of age, but swore he was past 16, because he was anxious to join the fighting forces. "If you do not press the case," said the lieutenant, "your boy will stay in the navy and have no trouble. But if jou do want to get him out on the grounds that he misrepresented his age and forged your consent, he will get out of the navy only to go to prison for his offense." Names of the mother and son are withheld by the naval officers. More British Hospital Ships Sunk, Says Law London, April 19.

Fashion's Reflections Dotted foulards line and in some instances trim many of the separate coats for spring. Looped or draped skirts are sure to v-uiiic, anu wc win iikc tnem, too, tor as advance models they arc graceful mm ucconung. Delightfully crisp, clean-looking collars of organdie, and sometimes cuffs as well, give the final touch of smartness to navy serge dresses. Expect to see many mannish-tail ored suits, severely plain in cut and nnisn, and. principal v in arav and navy. Serges, twill and jersey are the most generally used fabrics. ' v Never were more picturesque styles in veil draping adopted by brides than those in vogue today. The old coronet arrangement adding height to the fig ure has given way to fillet and cap. Stunning skirts are of oyster white silk, made in gathered style with ex aggerated pockets, the openings of the latter stitched in manv rows with colored silk. The skirt is hemmed. Separate vests or vestees separate or attached to the coat or jacket are a spring novelty. These vests permit ot an effective touch of color that is very pleasing, because so many of the suits are somber in tone. Beads, silk and cotton floss, braid ing and chain stitching are used sep arately or in combinations of two or three on dresses and blouses, and sometimes on suits; and not infre quently on coats, especially of a dressy type, , . Tea gowns are numerous and beau tiful. Many are composed of two con trasting colors, and most of them are enhanced by heavy Oriental girdles of beads or metal, or a combination of both of these with heavy silk cord or ritiDon. When it coints'to the bridesmaid's frocks there is no end to delightful possibilities. Models quaint, pictur esque, artistic, or merely beautiful in conservative fashion are to be seen on every side and extravagance is not necessary, tor some of the most at tractive things for bridesmaid's pur poses are comparatively simple. Broadcloth, plus pontine, makes an ideal traveling and motor coat for the spring trossrau. Pontine, with its waxed, outer side and its inner side of supple broadcloth, is immensely utilitarian because it minds not wind or wet weather and keeps one warm, dry and comfy, whatever the day. It is also and this is quite as important from the bride's point of view truly spiny, a word which expresses good-looking, chic and utterly cor rect, m two syllables. W omen' 8 War Activities Women will be engaged to serve as conductors on. street cars in l oledo, O., in the event of a shortage of men Miss Marie S. Dahm of New York has entered the service o' the United States navy as a finger f .-int expert The National Housewives league has launched from its New York headquarters a national movement for the conservation of food. The National League for Women's Service is engaging volunteers to help in taking the state military census of se lorn next month. A Stunning Springtime Suit BLUE serge is the foundation of this suit, which manages to do a great deal to so trifling a thing as a mere foundation. The startling waist oat and collar are cut of cross-barred pique, and the coat fastens smartly across them by means of narrow black moire ribbon. Wide black Hercules braid binds collar, pockets, cuffs and the flaring coat of the deeply cutaway skirt. The hat is of rose-colored straw, crowned in pansie of 7ose-color velvet, so soft and pretty that one wishes they might come true. And one little pansy peeks saucily over the brim.

There is wine in the air these first, crisp spring days, and most of us are Tairly drunk with the joy of living. A dangerous state that, and one which it behooves us to examine carefully. Spring will "get" most of us unless we very sanely investigate the things which she is trying to do. to us, and good naturedly refuse to be swept out in the midstream as if we were the broken-up ice crust of winter which swirls down the spring freshet and disappears. Spring madness is such a pleasant disease that one is tempted to yield rather than to fight. All the strange little emotions and desires which stir are so delicious that it is a tempta tion merely to rhapsodize over how beautifully they fit in with the tiny buds and leaves which are clamoring up into life. But what do all these "delicious" little symptoms of waking life do to us? They drive us into unconsidered follies of the emotions and the pocketbook, and they prevent us from keeping our minds on our jobs. Spring makes us long to throw off responsibility and to get out into the open. It gives us a longing for mere living. Vaguely we crave companion ship, understanding, love. Of course, the first signs of spring are generally epidemics of grip, orgies of shopping and feelings of impatient boredom with tasks which have been satisfactory enough all through the winter. Then comes a wild longing for freedom, for self-expression, and for the joy of loving. And prestol the buds are out and it is spring made manifest. Whenever we have the desire for love itself we are in danger! The story of Queen Titania and Bottom with his ugly head is a perfectly good symbol of what spring madness can do to any of us. No mischievous Buck is needed to come and drop in our eyes the magic dews from a flower which shall enchant uf with the first thing on which we look when wak ing. Spring itself takes the place of Buck, and her every flower is capable of casting a spell very similar to that of Shakespeare's "Love-in-idleness."

If you suffer from indigestion, from a stomach that seems "loaded down with rocks" after meala, thia druggist's experience must carry conviction of the merit of this purely vegetable preparation, Tbedrord's Black-Draught Mr. Flowers used many remedies and then says: "Black-Draught excels any I hare evel led."

It offers such cordial invitation ! to tragic blunders which not al' the : seasons to follow can undo! i How shall one be safe against the mischievous magic of spring even nings? By slipping into a comfort able, easy-titling garment ot numor and common sense. People who wear this garment don't catch cold in the first breezes of spring, nor do they suffer beyond endurance in the heat of summer.' For it makes you aware of the wonderful fact that the feelings which possess you now may change as the seasons change. You good-naturedly smile at your own longings and attribute them to the season of the year, instead of to yourself. Your common sense tells you that spring madness is a pleasant enough thing if it doesn't drive you into madness, for which you may have to pay through many a long summer and autumn and winter. If spring mad ess makes you want to roam into the park and talk to the first good-looking boy or girl you see; or if it drives you to slipping off on excursions with somebody else's husband or wife; or if it makes you lower your own standards of dignity and revel in the caresses of some one who means nothing to you, you had better get out a few "Beware" signs at once.
