Herr Fokker believes the first at- tempt to f1y 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. 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 bein^ 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 much 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 renval 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.

[ ' With the coming of March people! who are afflicted with rheumatism ' begin to have unpleasant reminders : of their trouble. The weather is; changeable â€" balmy a.^d springlike â-  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 (sroing. 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. .-Mil the lotions and liniments in the > world can't cure rheumatism. Rub- bing may .â- *eem to ease the pain while I you are rubbing, but there its value I ends. Only through the blood can I you cure rheumatism . That's why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have so many thousands of cures of this trouble to their credit.

I trie<l different remedies w thiut getting any help until I began the ise of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. I used si.x boxes of these and can say that I am about as well as ever I was.

I The revolution ir Ru.'sia has i>rought an immense .-hange in the people, a great feeling of relief and relaxing of the tension of years of suspicion and fear of Siberia. Before the Ki'.zan Ca'he-iral. where the revolution began and the first red flag fluttered, came the trium- phant tmi w-hen the great throng of people came afoot from the furthest parts of the city to consecrate the Russian Republic.

MYSTEHrE.S OF SCIENCE. .Many Hidden Influences That .Are Not I Yet L'ltderstood. The most remarkable feature in the motion of the planet Mertniry, says a modern astronomer, is tiiat when it is , nearest the svm it trrjvels faster than I it should if it moved only by the at- I traction of the known bodies of the solar system. Astronomers have long ' sought an explanation of the acceler- i ate«l motion. The influence may poa- 1 iibly prtjceed from some oth'jr un-j knosvn 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 \ iti things similarly inexplicable. They are all about us, calling to mind the â- vord .spoken in the old time to one incredulous because of the mys- tery of religion. "The wind blo'*eth '.vhere it listeth, t.hou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell ' whence it comfth 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 ur.ir.istp.kable in their working.
