MATERIALS NEEDED
FOR MAKING A GOWN
Figures Which will Be Of Assistance
to Women in Making
Eliminates.

To tell on-hand just how much ma
terisl it will require to make a garment
is not always easy even for an ex-
perienced seamstress. and women often
find when cutting that they have a
yard or so too much or too little. II
it is the former, it is not serious. for
extra material may be used to excellent
advantage in remodeIling II the goods
which have been used have not faded
but it may be disastrous to run short
II the material cannot be matched.
When in doubt il is always safer to
purchase too much than too little. for
if there is some left there are many
ways in which 1t may he used. but II
is, of course. much more satisfactory to
be able TO know closely the amount
required.
The width of the cloth ana the DE-
sign used in making the garment makes
ii quite impossible to give any set
rules. but the following table gotten
out by one OF the cotton dress fabric
producers of the country Will be found
to be something Of a guide in using j.
inch material.

DEPUTIES MAY BE
IN SPOILS SYSTEM
Urgent Deficiency Bill Takes Away
the Civil Service Pro-
lection.

WASHINGTON. d. G., Oct. 24.-In
signing the urgent deficiency bill to-
day, President Wilson took occasion to
say that the spoils system would not
creep in with his approval or conniv-
ance Wilson was alluding to that pro-
vision in the bill which enables col
lectors of revenue and marshals to ap-
point deputies without regard to the
civil service.
AS interpreted here. however, the
actual effect Of the enactment Of the
provision in the bill is to remove pro-
lection of the civil service from deputy
collectors and deputy marshals.
Unless President Wilson prevents it
by specified orders. it is the belief
here that republican deputies in Iowa
and every other state will be shunted
out in one way and another and demo.
Gratis put in their places Moreover,
the controlling element Of the demo
Gratis in the house and the senate are
bent on still further trying to break
down the civil service and it Is said
other appropriation bills are likely to
be used as vehicles to crush provisions
curtailing the operations of the civil
service law.
