Officials of the Starr Piano company are urging their thirty-ive girl employes to wear bloomers, and several of the girls, already have donned them. , "Oh, how cool they are. They certainly beat dresses to work in," the girls say. The girls believe they are better protected from accidents and have more freedom In the bloomers.

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 1.

DEMOCRATS NOT TO MEET UNTIL AFTER COUNCIL HAS ACTED

GARDEN

General Petain Raises Enough Vegetables for His Staff.

Indications were Wednesday that democrats of Richmond would not meet to consider the proposed ordinance creating the office of city judge at a salary of $1,200 annually, until after next Monday night's meeting of city council. It is almost certain that the ordinance will not pass on the first reading as several councilmen have already said that they will vote against it. The meeting of democrats which probably will be held several nights after council meets, will be a general meeting of members of the party of the city. Chairman Walterman of the city organization said Wednesday. Although it is believed by many members of the party that the organization will go on record, as being opposed to the creation of a city judge's office, it is not known what action will be taken.

PARIS, July 9. (By Mail.) The general in chief of the French army is becoming the first gardener of France.

When General Petain arrived at the simple villa, now serving as general headquarters, be found spacious lawns and flower gardens. He obtained permission from the proprietor to dig them up. Roses and other climbing plants have been replaced by beans, peas, cabbage, tomatoes and potatoes. The general is out at daylight every morning, inspecting his crops and directing the work of soldiers who occupy their leisure off duty weeding and cultivating the garden.
