FASHION TERMS
 AMtRICAN|zEO

one of the leading periodicals of this country has recently protested against the use of so many French terms in the fashion world. For years we have accustomed ourselves to cer- tain terms, such as "mousseline de soie," which means silk muslin; "darp de soie," which is silk cloth; cache mire de soie." or silk cashmere, but the present season has given rise to an almost new vocabulary so filled with French terms that woman un- used 10 the French language finds IL almost necessary to take French dictionary or an interpreter shopping with her When q dress is described as being of vert glauque (sea green) drap de sOie, trimmed with etoffes perlees (beaded materiaD, with d coat that is mi-aiustee (half-fitting) and fastened with brandebourgs c'frogsO, one begins to long for simple English. The protest is timely. There is no reason why our American fashion No- cabulary should be so weighted down with foreign phrases that the aver age American woman is required to take a course in French in order to know what she is buying. We have all talked about the "taupe" colored gown. when We meant mole colored. > We have tackled the de soie" to the name of various and sundry mate rials and have asked for ''voile de soie" when we wanted silk yelling, and gaze de soie" when We wanted silk gauge, and if the fashion experts have their way this coming season We shall have to increase our vocabulary to include brun havano tobaccO brown). lie devin (wine dregs), bleu corbeau Craven's wing deep blue), rose saumonee (salmon pink), crevette the new shrimp color), acajou mahog- any), aubergine (egg- plant color), and vert chasseur (hunter's green). Why should we say our gown has "ta- blier," when we mean it has an apron front. or that we are buying a new "trotteur" skirt, when we mean a walking skirt? The woman who can read French or converse in that lan- guage perhaps has an added pleasure and opportunity in life in using these terms, but when it comes to plain, everyday trade. why not use the good old English. which is just as much national as the money we spend?

PROGRESS OF WORK
 Oh ROOSEVELT DAM
Piers of the North Side Bridge Are m
 and Abutment Is Under Way.

Engineer l.. c. Hill did not leave Tuesday night. as was reported though Mrs. Hill left for the coast, and after visit there will go to Yellow stone park MT. Hill, who returned from Roosevelt Tuesday morning, re- ports the work there going along rap idly.
 The dam proper is now finished so far as the water retaining masonry IS concerned There is vet to place on top of it the eighteen-inch roadway or concrete with a rough finish and the parapet walls which will be four feet high. The principal work now Is the excavation of the cmiceways and the building of the bridges over them.
 The two piers for the bridge over the northside sluiceway are now in and are thirty feet high, but the work on the abutment has just started. The south side bridge has not yet been started. In the original plans the bridges were tp go straight from the ends of the dam which has a convex curve up stream to the mountainside. while the spill ways continue around the end of the day on a line with the general curve of the dam. Thus the bridges were to have passed diagonally across the spill ways Under the later plans the bridges are run almost squarely across the spillways, which throws thelr outer or mountain ends some little dis tance up stream. That accounts Tor the piers of the bridges being higher than the. spilway proper is deep. the piers being placed in the still water area marking the approach to the .spillways.

ICED DRINKS.

We have been advised of all sorts of ways of using leftover food. and in the summer especially it is also econ omy to use the leftover drinks to be used as iced beverages. Coffee left from breakfast. and cocoa. or tea, in- stead of being thrown away, should be strained, but in a bottle or glass jar, covered and set in the icebox There may not be enough to serve the entire family at dinner but there will be enough for delicious glass fol someone who will greatly appreciate it during the day.

The Prohibition Fight is On.

Columbia, Jan. 10--When the Leg
iSlature or South Carolina cOnveneS
In annual session tomorrow the fore
most topic Of discussion will be the
liquor question. Some thought that
when the Legislature at it's last ses-
sion passed bill referring the ques-
tion to the people of the several
counties for decision on a county To-
cal option basis, the fight was ended
for the time at least. But, the pro-
hibitionists, basing their fight on the
proposition that an overwhelming
number Of counties opposed the sale
Of whiskey. will renew their battle
for Statewide law.
Last year the fight was bitterly
contested and for days the Legisla-
\ ture was tied up. first by a filibuster
' against the bill. and then by the pro-
hibitionists' declaration that they
would stay in session until some sat
iSfactory law was passed.
Then, after the bill had passed the
House and the Senate appeared dead
locked. 2 compromises was offered.
The measure calling for vote by
counties was passed.
