The fashion makers of Chicago and
New York have gone to war over the
subject of discarding or retaining the
shirt waist as part of the well
dressed wOman's wardrobe. New York
accuses Chicago of wanting to wipe
Paris off the map as fashion center,
and the designers of the metropolis
profess to be convulsed with mirth at
the thought. A New York man says
that Chicago knows as much about
fashions as Hoboken does, which is
equivalent to saying that it knows as
much as Pauline or Dover knows. III
Chicago DEGREES that the shirt waist
must CO." he says. you may put it
down that this is to he its most popu-
lar year. And poor Chicago, that
doesn't even go to Paris for its styles,
but to New York, to make this dec
laration! 1t is too sad. I think. for
laughter"
The designer for Vogue considers
the 'shirtwaist necessity. She says
it is the most popular garment for all
classes. The rich woman likes it be-
cause of its comfort and convenience.

Now, They'll Stop It

The American Truth society of Munich calls on us
to protest against the employment in the war of In
dian and African savages by England and France.
Certainly! Anything to please the A. Il. society
of Munich which is having safe time in Switzer-
land
We protest against England's heather skhs and
Frances heather Turcos enjoying the slaughter of
perfectly good Christians by Christians. Those In
dian and African savages have no business to par
ticipate in the bombing of and children, the
razing of cathedrals and the cutting of white hroas
generally and promiscuously. If those heather wish
to exercise their propensities for savagery, they
should do it in their own country. Likewise, the
Turks, who have been drawn into the feast of blood
by Germany.
1t isn't fair to civilization and it isn't fair to the
heather, who stand every chance of being corrupted
by European culture and still further removed from
possibility of salvation.
As we understand the matter those Hindu, Turks
and Turcos were at home tilling the SOIL selling
goods, raising fine families and engaged in other
peaceful occupations productive of happiness Sud
denly they were influenced to enter the very vortex
OF slaughter and they are being mauled, mutilated
and eliminated 1t is too bad, and in sorrow and in
dignation vigorously protest, with thanks to the
American Truth society for calling our attention to
the fact that of the important things lacking in
this war protest. It's perfect shame to use
the heather that way!

The Roozing Forties

StatIsticlans express concern over the recently
discovered fact (f it is fac) that modern life has
lowered the death rate for babies but has raised it
for men between forty and fifty, according to Col
hers Weekly. One factor lies on the surface of
American life: the increase of sedentary occupations
and of drinking therein. Any indoor man who soaks
up liquor is likely to die before he is fifty years old
1t is matter of some difficulty to keep him alive
and the desrabty of it is often rather questionable
The statisticians may yet prove strongest tenn
perance advocates.

CONCERNING LIGHT RATES
Public Cannot Expect Reduction OF
Light Rates Until Commission
Makes Final Order

Some misunderstanding as to the
time when the new electric light rates
will become effective seems to exist,
arising probably from the wording OF
the resolution on rates recently pass
ed by the council. The statement has
been interpreted to mean that the
new rate will apply to energy con-
sumed during December for which
bills will be rendered in the latter
part OF December or first of January
and not to November business for
which collections were made this
month.
Such Interpretation is consistent
with the ruling which it is expected
the Public Utilities Commission will
make in the near future, as it is under
stood that the commissions ruling will
apply to the business Of the month
following that of issue.
