MATTY GETS BEATING FROM
 LOWlY REDS


 Z Cincinnati, Aug. 223Bunchtng half of their hits and all of their base running in one inning, the Cincinnati Reds yesterday experienced the rare good fortune of a victory over Christy Mathewson and the Giants by winning the opening. contest of the series by the score of 8 to 2.
 The Red1and. sharpshooters, altogeth- CT contrary to Cincinnati traditions, bounced upon Mathewson right in the first inning, and before the Giants had recovered from their justif1able astoniShment three runs had been sent over, the result of as many hits and some clever work on the bases. Thereafter Mathewson held he Reds so firmly. in his grasp that their ram pant spirit quickly subsided. Big Six retired in the sixth inning, when Meyers was sent to bat ins his place Dehnaree, Matty's successor on the mound, held the Reds hitless for the remainder of the afternoon.

 When war was declared international commerce stopped. Means for trans

 and prices of this raw rnateriah inn- mediate1y jumped over 100 per cent
 Having determined that a, price ad- vance was necessary we announced 1t imm mediate1y and without warning to conserve resources and prevent dealers from overstocking on a speculation we knew would probably be only tempor- ary. Also, if we permitted large deal- stock heavily injustice would be visit ed on smaller dealers. So we ad- yanced 20 per cent. and did it quickly. Since then we have worked stead fly in the rubber problem. Exchange

WAR As A LOVE TEST

Berlin is a city of saddened women,
rich and poor, young and old, all
know the great sorrow Of war. Edith
Donnerberg Dunaway, who has just ar
rived from that stricken city, said:
Before 1 escaped from Berlin, l saw
sights that will stay in my heart for
ever. The city is full of women who
force their lips to a patriotism their
souls reject. have seen scores of girls
who married their soldier sweethearts
ten minutes after the first call to war,
and found their names in the list of
killed within week thereafter. Some
thing sadder still is when the soldier
sweetheart-husband comes back from
the battlefield manned and crushed.
Limbs gone, eyes put out, reason shat
tered. Oh, these are the terrible tests
/ have watched hospital scenes. dram
attic enough, tragic enough, to build a
hundred play houses upon. have seen
girls rush out, ring back priest and
go through her marriage ceremony
right there while the poor, shattered
creature on the cot wept half in pro-
test at the sweetheart's sacrifice, half
in grateful joy. And" she continued
slowly. Il have seen the other side
when. the girl couldn't accept her
cruel fate, when her spirit crumpled
under the test; when she turned away
from the MANNED form, unable to en-
.dure what fate required of her War
is woman's supremest test in every
way. l pray the women of America
may never be called upon to endure
such anguish as their sisters of Europe
are bearing today"

appeal to the board for the restora-
ton of the monthly appropriation of
$25 for the public library, but no for
NAL action thereupon was taken. Cap
tain Cobb presented figures showing
that more than five hundred residents
of Sumter, outside of Americas, enjey-
ed the privileges Of the library, while
probably twice that number here are
on the membership list.

OPPORTUNITY OF AMERICAN
DRESSMAKERS

At last American designers of wom-
ems clothes are to have their chance.
Early next month it will be proved a
gown need not be a Paris garment to
be a beautiful gown, and it will also
be shown American style makers are
honorable and resourceful enough not
to duplicate their models. This will
make impossible recurrence of the
famous blue gown tragedy" which
kept the telephone wires hot last sum-
mer Mrs. Styvesant Fish tells of the
tragedy" and says 81 know from my
own experience the quest OF the too.
popular Paris model has led to dire re-
suits. A certain French model and its
replicas appeared in the wardrobe of
no fewer than twelve of Newport's
fashionable set this summer. Indeed
no one of us felt safe in appearing in
the famous "blue gown" without tele-
phoning to the other eleven to find oIt
what their costumes were to be for in
that particular occasion. This whole
sale reproduction of one idea gives no
more distinction than livery, and #
our own dressmakers can give US in
dividual designs, we shall be glad to
wear them" American modistes long
have played that prominent society
matrons lend them encouragement,
and here is their opportunity. In
word New York has her chance to be-
come center of fashions-the sartorial
white hope" of the world.

back and ends in long pointed train.
The frock is sleeveless and deeply
square at the neck.
One of the smartest and most charm
ing tailor suits is of deep purple cloth
and velvet with sable trimming. The
feature of the jacket is the collar, high
almost to the ears, and closely fitted,
so that the face peeps out like rose
from its calyx,
The more one tries to describe these
costumes the more futile seems the
task. Folds and pleats and draperies
are so cunningIy done that the eye can
not get the effect through word pic
lures.

WOOD BLOCKS give TROUBLE
AFTER The Recent RAINS
Humps in the Street Keep a
Force Employed

The wood paving in several sections
of the city continue to demand the at
tention of the repair gang, and num-
erous "uprisings" are thus put down.
The blocks swell during the continued
wet weather and demand considerable
attention. A long line of blocks was
taken up on Cotton avenue today-a
narrow strip near the east curbing,
which may effectively remedy matters
there.

WIDE SKIRT WILL Be
WINTER GOWN FEATURE
HObbIe Passes, But Wavy Hem Only
Comes to Boot Tops and Long
Stride is Barred.

Speculation as to whether the wide
skirt will be among the approved fea-
lures of winter gowns has been def
nitely settled, says the New York Ev-
ening Mail In the Autumn Promen-
ade des Toilettes at Gimbel Brothers
yesterday she \arrive," as a chic little
French woman in the front row re-
marked, inspecting the ripply hem
through shell lorgnette.
Then somebody remembered that
early last spring the first basque" to
arrive from that dear Paris made its
bow at Gimble's opening-and so, by
the same token, it was written down
that the day of the hobbled foot is
passed.
But do not forge, one thing. The
new wide skirt is but boot-top length.
Ankles are, therefore, much in evil
dence and the temptation to stride
must be firmly checked.
The pretty manikins at Gimbel's just
minced along in their wavy skirts.
That's the cue. Walk as if you were
still shackled, and assume your free
dom gradually.
Many of the smartest suits can only
be diagnosed as suits by careful scru-
tiny about the ankles. If a tiny Dor
der of material different from the coat
appears there, it's a suit. If not, it's
simply long cloak.
A new neck has appeared. One might
call it the "collarbone cut" on the
"straight-edge slash" 1t has sup
planted the "V" opening which has
been popular so long that most femi-
nine threats have taken on a perma-
nent tan there following the outline.
The new neckline rigidly follows the
collarbone, the opening extending in
some cases almost across the should
ers.
Another touch which hall-marks the
newest gowns is hike. The hike may
be in front or at the back, or both
Often the edge of the skirt follows as
devious elevations as mountain road
way.
One of the distinctive evening mod
els in the Gimbel selection is entirely
without trimming, save that afforded
by the pattern of the line green and
silver brocade which fashions it. The
dress looks as if made upon the
wearer so intricately it is folded and
draped against the figure. There is \
suggestion of the hip-bodice and of q
tunic. But the tunlc is only at the
