American FLAGS
HOCH IN »ICE
PARIS, 'june 2- .—American flags
were worn by a great many of the
Parisian sewing girls during the recent
strike. Asked wtiy tney chose the Star
Spangled Banner as the standard of
their revolt, one of them replied: “Why)
because we demand the ‘semaine ang
laise’ ” (the English week with Satur
day half holiday).
“Then wouldn’t the British flag be
more appropriate?” is was asked.
“Perhaps, but the ‘drapeau etoile
(the stars and stripes) are much more
■ becoming.”
That was a real Rue de la Paix reas
'on, but there was another, entirely un
conniected with coquetry; it was the
1 new meaning the United States of
1 America have acquired in France.
To the French common people in
general, who travel little and are not
' very strong on geography, America had
long been a country in the vague dis
Itance, celebrated for its billionaires
and from whence long absent relations
1 returned with fabulous wealth to save
: the financial situation of their families.
The “Uncle from America” became
legendary through popular fiction and
'sentimental drama. George Washing
' ten, Lincoln and Wilson are now tak
l ir.g his place in the French mind.
France learned much about the Unit
’ ed States during the first two years of
the war through American motor amb-
I ulances and hospitals, American com
forts and relief of all kinds sent to sol
diers and civilian sufferers, ani
through American tobacco of which
nearly every soldier had a share. She
was all ready to pour out her heart to
America, which she has done freely
1 since the United States became her
ally.
No one in France has the advantage
of the Parisian, sewing girl or “midin
• ette,” as they call her, in either senti
ment or patrotism; no strike in the
I French capital ever had so much senti
ment mixed wi,th it; consequently there
| was nothing more natural than their
choice of the colors of their new ally.
Music dealers say that it was the
i“midinettes” who helped most to ex -
haust the available supply of American,
national airs in sheet music in the first
few days after the United States de
clared war on Germany- The sewing
' girls could be seen during their noon
' hour at certain street crossings and up
tranquil courts, gathered around that
I old familiar institution of Paris, the
1 street music vender. With a sheet of
' words without music in hand, they
' were learning a French translation of
' the "Star Spangled Banner” to the air
i played by the music vendor on his
I violin. None of the Parliamentary,
I Sorobonne, Academic or official func
tions, was a greater tribute to the
, United States of America,
Many of them can hum the "Star
Spangled Banner.” “Columbia” is les.’,
known, and “America” utterly neglect
ed because the air is the same as that
■of “God save the King.” “Yankee Doo
idle,” on the other hand, is something
■of a favorite, being familiar to the
French people as the air of an old
| French revolutionary song.

LIVED ON CHARITY AS A
“LEGLESS CIVILIAN” FAKER
PARIS. June 28.—A contortionist out
of an engagement has lived tor several
months by unloosing upon charitable
people as a legless civilian, victim of
the German invasion of Belgium.
He pretended to be a Belgian mil
itary chaplain, captured by the Ger
mans at Liege and taken to Germany,!
where he awoke one morning to find
that both legs had been amputated
though he had not been wounded. He
lived on the sympathies that his story
inspired, until at Dijon recently it was
discovered that his two legs were in
tact.

I PREDICTS PASSENGER
AIRPLANES BETWEEN
NEW YORK AND LONDON |
LONDON, June 28.—A transatlantic
line of airplanes carrying passengers
I between New York and London in two
! days, at a total cost of about 10 cents a
I mile was predicted by G. Holt Thomas
in an address which he delivered be
fore the Aeronautical Society of Great
Britain.
To complete the rosy forecast, pro
thetic films were displayed showing
the departure and voyage of a transat
lantic airplane and also the dropping
of mail pouches at postal air stations
between London and the North of Eng
) land.
Mr. Thomas, who has had large ex
perience in flying and building air
craft, said that airplane mail service
could be established commercially. “A
special aeroplane will enable the bus
iness man to leave London in the
morning, transact his business In
Paris, and be home to dinner again,”
he said. “It will take him to Bagdad
|m a day and a half or New York in
two days.”
The cost from London to Paris, he
added, would be just over a dollar per
mile running one machine each way
and with four machines it would work
out at 75 cents. A profitable charge
for passengers would be $25 dollars.
A '.nail letter of one ounce could be
profitably carried for one cent and
three pound parcel for 75 cents. A
passenger could go from London to
Marseilles in eight hours instead of
twenty-three, at a cost of 50 or mails
could be carried for two cents an
ounce.
Constantinople could be reached in
twenty-hours for $125 a passenger and
mails at five cents an ounce. Dealing |
with farther distances he pictured
Ceylon as being only two and three
quarter days from London, Tokio four
and a half days. Sydney five days.
Capetown, three and a half days and
Vancouver three days. .
Lord Cowdray, the chairman of the
meeting said he believed Mr. Thomas’
estimate of costs to be near the mark ,
and that it would not exceed a dollar )
per mile. In his opinion commercial I
flying was bound to come and comej
quickly and it would nqt require
eminent assistance after the first fivej,
or six years. g
WAR HAS HAD MARKED EFFECT
UPON WOMEN’S DRESS
j LONDON, June 28. —There has never
been a time when women were more
! willing to accept standard dress or
uniforms than they are at present.
That is the most marked effect of the
war upen women's dress. All uniforms
ihave acquired dignity in women’s eyes.
The housemaid does not object to the
cap and a;:ron badge of servitude, the
worker iu the bank dons an overall

tions wear the khaki, the Red Cross
and volunteer aid workers are proud
of their uniforms.

“There always will be the women
who want fripperies, the women who

different from the style of the moment
but nowadays their number is greatly
diminished. The uniform idea has ar
rived. It may mean the total extinc
tion of dressmaking as a creative art,
but there will be developments on oth
er lines.
“There has never been a great war
which has not influenced fashion in a.
picturesque or even gruesome fashion,
and this world war has done Its share.
We had a fashion adapted as a com
pliment to each Ally, the Russian caps
and tunics, the Bersaglicri hats of the
Italian soldiers, and the Serbian colors.
Scotch plaids have ‘fiven the paris
iennes great joy.
“Khaki shades are the vogue for
spring and summer costumes, and the
blue-gray, with touches of crimson, of
the French uniforms is seen here and
there.”
