FOR THE SCHOOL LAD AND LAS.

There are bound to be many days in
the future when the small child will
have to 90 through rains and sIush to
school and it is best to prepare now for
these days
Each child should have a plain, cheap
umbrella. plainly marked with her name
The umbrellas come in sizes, small
enough for the tiniest. They have plaid
little handles for school use. although
very fine. ones Of silk with pretty lit
tie heads are a source OF great pride to
the little girl. The plain umbrellas are
best for school, however. because they
are not apt to tempt other children to
take them. and because IL they do hap
pen to be lost they are easily replaced.
Little girls like the Red Riding Hood

The safety first campaign being waged
by the Safety First Society of NeY
York, of which society Ogden L. Mills is
president, received additional impetus
last Thursday, September 10, when the
safety first car" started from New York
on it's tour through Eastern and Middle
Western States, in charge of General
Secretary Frederick H. Elliott. Mr.. FL
lott carries with him letters of greet
ing from Mayor John Purroy Mitchell, of
Greater New York, to mayors of other
cities, which the car will visit, also let
ters from President of the Borough of
Manhattan Marcus NJ. Marks, Fire Com
missioner Robert Adamson. Chief City
Magistrate William McAdoo and others,
all Of whom are giving their hearty in
dorsement TO the work of the society.
This car is equipped with modern safety
devices and accessories which tend to
make motoring safer. The car will visit
Washington, D. c., in the near future.
Mr. Elliott, who conceived the idea of
organizing this movement in the interest
Of public safety, and who is personally
directing the campaign will call upon the
onicials in each municipality, DISCUSS
with them the subject of safety in motor
ing, trafic and transportation problems.

cIeties Willard Creighton, an -expe-
rienced driver, alternates with Mr.. FL
lott at the wheel of the car which is
q 1915 model Jeffery.
The enforcing of strict traffic regula-
tions is being urged by the society. For
example the eight-foot rule in passing
trolley cars, uniformity Of speed laws, the
carrying OF fire extinguishers, the estab-
lishment of rotary traffic systems at in
tersections OF wide avenues, muffier cut
out ordinances, the use of headlight-dim-

biles. tire chains in wet weather, ETC.,
are being advocated.

This dancing in business clothes has
brought about a fad OF high boots OF
flexible leather in black with slightly
pointed toes, that have rubber heels and
strip of rubber on the sole, making
them easy to dance in, but inconspicu-
Gus enough for office wear.
When he is not going to dance, how
ever, the well-dressed man wears high
heavy tan boots with his office clothes,
tan gloves with heavy stitching, and a
high. narrow derby hat or a soft brown
hat, the latter being much in vogue this
winter and coming in a number OF smart
new shapes.
Frock coats are seldom seen nowadays
except on elderly men or at funerals and
weddings. The cUtaway has entirely
superseded them, but full dress is more
and more in demand, and the once ubi-
quitous tuxedo or dinner coat is now be-
ing put into its place, for informal stag
affairs or evenings at home, though 1t is
still considered correct for the young
er man at the theater. With II, how
ever. is worn a turnover collar, black
bow tie and a black vest, since white
ties and vests are correct only with full
evening dress
The plated silk shirts that became
so popular last winter are still much
seen since they are far more comfort
able to dance in than the stiff- -bosomed
shirt, and either a high white collar and
tie or one of the new models Of the old
fashioned stock may be worn with them.
But it is his overcoat that the young
man is most interested in, now that the
first cool days are here, and the new
topcoats. as the English call them, are
decidedly British in their effect. Heavy
worsteds and wool mixtures with an oc-
casional vivid thread in them are very
popular. and two varieties of coats are
seen. the one short and heavy, fitting
closely and belted in the back, the other
huge. bulky and with raglan shoulders
like the Balmacaan of last winter. The
raglan shoulders are also seen on the
new raincoats. but the overcoats of the
conservative man follow very simple
lines. and duh browns, dark blues or
black and gray mixtures are the most
fashionable. except for the motorist, who
fairly fills the front seat of his car with
the bulkiness of the new plaid coats, as
warm as fur and rain repellent

HEALTH OF THE CHILD.

what he wears to school. Probably shoe:

Cheap shoes are not made Of strong ma

their composition, and they lose shap,

required to wear as long as one pair Of
good shoes.

IMPORTANCE OF FOOTWEAR
FOR THE CHILDREN

Every mother should study her child s
fooR and buy shoes that will fit 1t. Watch
the barefooted child at play and notice
the space the toes require when the mus
cles are free. Forty per cent of high
school children have fiat-foot; and weak
arches and spines are common among
school girls Of this age simply because
the proper care has not been given to
dressing their feet. There are several
makes OF shoes that are specially adapt
ed to the needs of the child. They have
wide toes and the heels are built out
under the instep so as to form a support
for the arch Of the foot. 1t would be well
to get this kind next time you buy shoes
for your boy or girl

LAMP OF SACRIFICE

The year that is about to dawn
means more work to be done for
suffrage if we are to be successful
in 1916. AS we cannot send speak
ers into all the highways and hedges
to preach the doctrine of equal
rights for all, and special privileges
to none,' we must do the next best
thing, which is-send literature.
To be able to send literature we
must first have it to send.
If we use what we have on hand
without replenishing and charging
our stock from time to time, we
will soon find ourselves in bad
fix, for everything will give out at
one time and it would be an al
most impossible task to stock up
anew
The only way to keep going is
to add to, little by little.
That is why The Lamp of Sacri-
fee was started-that each one of
us may add to, little by little.
Can you give a dime? Will your
friend give quarter? Or perhaps
you know someone who can do no
work for suffrage, but who could
contribute financially? Maybe that
person would give dollar?
If you can give or get no money,
the next best thing to do is to buy
the literature to send around in
your letters. In this way you kill
two birds with one stone-you get
the literature distributed and you
enable the committee to keep the
stock moving.
All of these little things are quite
worth while
We're waiting to hear from
YOU.
