Fashions for Americans ONE of the most popular and practical styles of the season for little girls of four to seven or eight years is the wool jersey bloomer frock, and the mother who has not experimented with this fabric in its various color combinations cannot realize how smart it is possible to make these inexpensive little garments. The one shown in the sketch indicates the popular length of smock or blouse used with these outfits, the upper or smock part of the garment usually being long enough to show just a few inches of the bloomers. Heavy wool embroidery in a shade to match the fabric, used as a trimming, marks the point where the yoke of the smock is joined to the slightly gathered lower section. Some are made with yokes, others are straight and plain. The yoke is usually becoming to the older child, particularly a rather slender girl, and the plain, straight line smocks are best for the younger child and the older one who is inclined to be fat. High shades are particularly smart in the wool jersey dresses for children, colors like bright green, rose and a very deep lavender being popular. Such shades as wisteria and a pale yellow are combined with good effect. The fancy for bright shades, however, does not at all mean that the more sombre and practical colors are taboo. Henna and gray, brown and tan, navy and green, etc., are pleasingly combined. The Wool Jersey Bloomer Dress May Be Smart as Well as Practical. Modern Day Miracles Goethe, the Great German Poet, Visits Saarbrucken Forest and Discovers the Philosopher of Coal (Told in Eight Sketches) By JOHN RAYMOND MODERN DAY MIRACLES Goethe, the Great German Poet, Visits Saarbrucken Forest and Discovers the Philosopher of Coal (Told in Eight Sketches) BY JOHN RAYMOND No. III THE PHILOSOPHER OF COAL In 1771, there lived in the forest near Saarbrucken in Germany, a chemist named Staur. He was an eccentric old man who had an idea for ahead of his time that many things besides coke could be obtained in the combustion of bituminous coal. Staur had constructed a number of ovens over a burning mine and treated coal so that he obtained oil, pitch, coke and soot. That was quite a forward step and although he lived in a forest the great minds of Europe heard of his work. In fact, Goethe himself made a pilgrimage to the ovens of the far-seeing chemist and in his autobiography wrote a striking comment on his visit to the Saarbrucken forest: "Ready and glad to pour his complaints into a human ear, the lean, decrepit, little man, with a shoe on one foot and a slipper on the other, and with stockings hanging down and repeatedly pulled up in vain, dragged himself up the mountain to where the pitch house stood which he had built himself and saarrucken was great now falling here. Here was found a connected row of ovens in which coal was to be freed from sulphur and made fit for use in the iron works; but at the same time they wished also to recover the oil and pitch, and indeed, did not want to lose the lamp black, so that all failed together on account of the many ends we saw." Goethe, who dubbed the chemist of Saarbrucken "Kohlenphilosoph," or the Philosopher of Coal, wrote his commentary less than a century and a half ago. What would be his comment today could he enter one of the American plants where almost unlimited numbers of products are obtained from the distillation or partial combustion of coal? Staur certainly was one of the pioneers, but it appears that the Chinese used coke as an article of commerce more than 2,000 years ago, with no dreaming of the immense value of the waste product, coal tar, in the Middle Ages was mainly used for use in the arts and domestic purposes. The earliest record of cooking coal in a regular oven was in 1630 when patented was granted in England to Sir William St. John for making coke in a bee hive type of oven. Later patents were granted in England and Germany, and finally in 1817 we find Isaac Meason "making coke in the ground" in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. That was the crude beginning of one of America's key industries for from hence to hence ovens; they were grew the great modern plants that astonished the world during the war by their production of poison gases, high explosives, fertilizers and other vital necessities. In times of peace these plants produce dyes and great quantities of intermediates for manufacture of other commodities. In times of war they are easily convertible into strongholds of defense. You will remember that it was an English boy who discovered the possibility of manufacturing dyes from coal tar but England let the great chance slip through her fingers and as a result found herself in a bad war broke out in 1914. It was humiliating for the United States to be caught napping and to be compelled to beg Germany to sell us dyes to color our stamps and currency but England found herself in a far more serious situation. She had no dyes for her uniform or flag, and no drugs for her untreated. She could not sell to the former Germany markets because she could not color her textiles. She could not send sufficient high explosives or gases to the front because she lacked the essential coal tar crude. But England will not beaught sleep again. She has placed an image on foreign dyes and is working with all her strength to develop her own chemical industry. ANAHEIM DAILY HERALD Quarton, Mrs. W. Jewel, Mrs. N. Dietrich, Mrs. M.

VALENCIA SQUARE WILL BE ELITE SECTION REALTORS SAY Valencia Square, the new sub-division which J. Lloyd Moore recently placed upon the market, promises to become the real Bon Ton section of the city, according to real estate men. There is a thirty-year building restriction on this property which guarantees the purchaser that he will be protected in the class of buildings to be constructed. The plans of the profters of the addition contemplate that this tract will be built up with pretty homes. Those who purchase home sites in Valencia Square cannot possibly go wrong; it is said, whether the purchase is made with the idea of immediate improvement or as a speculative investment. Property in Valencia Square will always be high class, realtors say. All city improvements have been put in, including graded streets, sidewalks, curbs, sewers, gas, water and electricity. The prices of lots, company officers say, in Valencia Square are most reasonable when the advantages and high class of the property is taken into consideration.

Music Gave Scientist Strength, Says Editor NEW YORK.—Discussing Fritz Krelier's belief that the musician is a valuable aid to the doctor in treating disease, W. D. Moffat, editor of The Mentor Magazine, tells of the experience of an English scientist who found that he could grip an object harder when heroic music was played than when no music was played, and whose grip was correspondingly weaker when a lullaby was played. This indicates, the editor of the Mentor points out, that music has a discernible effect upon mind and body. JIMMY KNEW ALL RIGHT. Teacher—What is a prescription?
