Washintgon, June 14.?"If fuel be
comes increasingly scarce as it has for j
months past the British fleet next rail
?mi vo en restricted that the German
"Will Ufc .
fleet can escape. Then indeed will
"hell be let loose on oar own unpro
tected shores.'
This was the bombshell thrown In
o the conference of the naiionai com
mittee of patriotic ana cefen&e socie
ties today by Raymond B. Price,
chairman of the committee on inven
tions of the Aero Club of America and
r
vice president cf the Unites States
Rubber company.
Afraid.
JVTr. Price asserted that the I'nited
States is facing disaster in the world
1 because her people are bima to dang
ers confronting them and because of
ficials of the government are "afraid
i to alarm tne peome.
1 He asked that these facts be well
considered:
1. Italian munition plants ran
part of the time tor want of coai.
Germany is not worried over the itji
offensive because she Knows u ^
j limited by lack of coal. !i mess we
j can send Italy 2r?0.0Co tons of coai
! per month she can not longer continue
her offensive military operations. The
ships are not today in sight to car
ry that coal to Italy.
2. The Italian and French navies
are crippled for lack of fuel. Ger
! many knows tnis ana seeh.5 10 uesuu^
coal and oil ships above all others,
i 3. If fuel becomes increasingly
scarce as it lias for months past
the British fleet next fail will be so
i restricted that the -German fleet can
i escape.
No Starvation.
I ' Germany had her greatest food
shoicage over a year ago. With 42,
000,000 people in her captured terri
' tories?almost the population of the
British Isles?to use as sne can to
till flip.fertile soil of food producing
Polanr, and Rumania, she is not to be
starved this nor next nop any other
year as things look today.
' America must rebuild and re-equip
the railroads of France and perhaps
Russia to win the war. Some experts
say we must conquer Germany, send
500,000 workmen, mechanics and rail
road operatives besides an army of
from 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 men to
France. A good start even can net
be made within one yeaT anc! perliaps
two or three years. To maintain o.
000.000 men in England and just
across the 21-mile wide English chan
nel in France Great Britain requisi
tioned one-fourth the entire merchant
tonnage of the world.
One-Eighth Gone.
6. During the war nearly one-eigntn
the merchant^ tonnage of the earth
has been destroyed. This is double
what has been launched in the same
period.
! 7. If not another ship were de
' stroyed by mine or submarine, from
; now on we still could not send 1,000,
j 000 men to France and maintain them,
I one year from today.

j meat than the entire British nation,

THE DREAM OF A
LIBRARY COME TRUE
By Noble Foster Hoggson,
President. Hoggson Bros., Builders.
It was one of those humid days
when the dust of the street, driven by
hot gusts, seemed to bite into one's
hands and face and ears; having bit
ten, to cling there by myriad savage
little teeth. The aggressive discom
fort of the city's out-of-doors follow
ed me into the office building, ascend
ed with me in the elevator, and was,
more in fancy than in fact, perhaps,
tormenting me when I left the car at
the seventh floor to find myself con
templating the door of "The Little
Room" where I was to meet him
whose friends call him D'Art.
Something about the dignified opa
que panel, spanned by D'Art's three
goodly names flanked by a brass
knocker, told me that more serious
business than the common place
work-a-day affairs of life was going
on within.- So I did not try ine door;
I made somewhat awkward use of tlie
knocker. D'Art opened, drew me
within, and closed the door behind me.
Will you believe me when I say that
I was then a million miles away from
the heat, the dust the noise of the
stn
"" is was by no means an ordinary
ot '-room, in an every-day, prosaic
office uailding. It had been once, but
thp-t was before D'Art came to live
t^'ere. When he came, and a certain
friend of his came to call upon him,
me office underwent a change that
straightway made it part of D'Art.
"I spend most of my hours here,"
said D'Art, to his friend who Knew
more than a little about making
rooms and buildings and premises
habitable, "and I want something just
right."
"That means more than you realize,"
responded the man who makes places
habitable. '-'Most offices are, to say
the least, oppressive. Some are pos
sible, and a few?a very few?fit their
occupant like a suit of clothes, at once
serving his needs, and preserving his
rwwn narii^nlaT inrli vidualitY."
But, the thing has been done. D'Art
is a reposeful sort of a person, with
a "big, throbbing dynamo of a brain
on top. That library in which he is
formulating his tremendous ideas is
his outer garment?no less. It clings
about him like a goodly robe. Its col
or is just right for D'Art?the color
of the bookcases that circle the walls,
the color of the curtains and tapes
tries. of desk i.nd rug. and upholster
ed wicker chairs ? are the smooth,

Among the virtues of Lydia E.

ability to correct sterility in the

j summer months. j
This.season sees the bathing suits!
carrying out the same colorful note
that predominates in ail sports
clothes, and in materials there is al
so a similarity, namely, in the use of
one of the most ravored 01 iaontis?.
wool jersey. This versatile mater
ial seems to make itself at home in
any sphere. After having made its
importance felt in sports clothes, one
piece frocks and semiformal suits, j
the bathing suit has been lately ad
ded to its conquests. Yet, other ma
terials campare very favorably with
! of Striped Satin
I jersey cloth at the fashionable beacli
1 es. Black satin has lost none of its
usual charms; taffeta, mohair, alpa
ca and poplin still retain their popu
' larity; and the rubberized cloths are
likewise favored to a great extent.
If the one-pi^ee slip-on frocks have
been a success in our every-day life,!
the camp stvle adapted to bathine suits i
'lis still more successful. One could j
^ ask for nothing more practical than
;, the one-piece bathing dress worn j

j There are suits of this type decorated
; with embroidery, with deep trimming i
J | bands, large pockets, ancr with gir-j

! Following out one of the late styles
in skirts is the bathing suit illus- j
j trated with a deep band at the lower j
| part. This band is stitched at the.
j front and back, but the sides are j
|.loose to give the effect of bulging j
| pockets or an adaptation of the barrel:
. idea which is still exploited by cer-j
! taim designers. This suit is of black j
, satin with the band of srriped satin, j
Bathing Suit Accessories
! A complete bathing outfit by no i
( means ends with the selection of the j
suit. Beach wraps, hats and caps,;
i chnAs am! stockiners. are quite as im-j
I portant. There are sets of matching!
hats, shoes and huge bags which are
, considered very smart. Rubberized
i silks in plain colors, are especially
! attractive for the beach wraps, which!
: are usually made with very large
j collars.
In hats and caps, the choice lies be-'
i.? eoiinre with fitraisht
. brims and rattier high crowns, and the
j small close-fitting rubber caps. Tam
! of-ishanters and the (Chinese-shaped
1 hats are also seen a great deal. On
j many hats and caps there are novel
I ornaments of rubber in bright con
I trasting colors.
I Some New Sweaters

Learn History by Historical Novels
In the June Woman's Home Com
panion Annio Bryan McCall says:
"One of the pleasantest ways I know
j of.making varied travels into history
I io Kv ropHino- historical novels. I re
, member that when I was twelve years
j old I read Harrison Ainsworth's
! 'Widsor Castle,' and when I was fit-'
j teen I read Scott's 'Kenilworth.' WTien
[ I was " sixteen I read Hawthorne's
'Scarlet Letter.' I was not thinking of |
history at all when I read them. I j
read them solely for the story. Yet;
from those three books I learned more
of the times of Henry VIII, and Queen
Elizabeth, and early American days,
I do believe, than in the many histori
cal chapters covering those times tliat ,
I have read since. Those nooks made,
these times live for me, and it was as
though I myself were lining in them."
