fitting as it is taught by the Gossard
Organization.
Even though it is early, we suggest
that you visit our Department and
discuss with Miss McLendoaa
many innovations in women's costum-
ing and the important relation the new
corset styles bear to the successful
wearing of the charming, but rather
difficult basque effects that fashion has
decreed for Fall and Winter. Your
visit will be appreciated by us even
though you do not now select your
new corset for the coming season.
On behalf of Miss McLendon, we ex-
tend to you a cordial invitation To
visit our Corset Department at your
earliest convenience.

ALL NEW STYLES
ARE WARLIKE

Chicago, Sept. 19.-The tailor-made
gown with the American style" Was
started on its career at the fashion
review at the Congress Hotel yester-
day. The National Ladies' Tailors anu
Dressmakers' Association of America
was sponsor.
America must provide her own de-
signs, as all communication with
Paris is closed on account of the
war;" said President We'll.
War effects are seen in all types.
New features are the set-in sleeve,
the tunic skirt, the high military COL
lar and heavy braiding. Other fea-
lures are vests, Roman stripes for
trimmings and plaits and frills of fur.
The coats are Cossack or Belgium or
English, but always military and
long. None of the coats are shorter
than thirty-two inches, but are oftener
forty-two inches, and the coats carry

PARAGRAPHS FROM
SEPTEMBER 18th VOGUE

In its embryo state, here is the new
mode:
The silhouette is bell-like, flaring
from shoulder to ankle. The skirt :
short, even eight inches from the
ground; it is full, being either shirred,
deeply box-plaited, or cut circular;
therefore it falls in heavy folds at
the bottom. The bodice is no longer
loose and baggy; it is cut less gen.
erously-sometimes fits quite snugly.
The sleeve aids and abets this snug
ness; it is set into a normal armhole
or is cut on raglan lines; and it 5
long and tight. There is warrant for
expecting the advent of the higa
tight collar.
Coats follow the lines laid down by
dresses. They are long and f1aring
hang loose from the shoulders, and
put much material in the skirts.
The flare of the skirt is frequently
accentuated by a wide band of fur
placed either at the bottom or three
inches above.
Chiruit uses no narrow bands of fur;
four inches is the limit of narrowness.
Such long-haired furs as fox and
skunk are cut into wide belts for one
piece dresses, suits, long coats, and
even for evening wraps.
Among the blouses, some of the new
models are showing higher neck.
Not infrequently there are buttons and
buttonholes, which may be fastened
to form high turnover collar, or
may be left open to give the effect OF
a low, rolling collar. In either case
collars are higher at the back of the
neck than they were last spring
Colored handkerchiefs have had
a certain popularity for a good many

FASHION notes

There is new alliance of colors in
the world OF fashion. 1t is not 4
triple entente, but the combination ls
very strong. Blue and taupe are the
shades mingled in many of the smart
est models for autumn and winter.
Blue and white is another smart COM
bination, but these shades are seen
together more in dinner frocks AMI
evening gowns.
Although there are entirely new
groupings of colors this season, the
dark tones prevail for street wear.
In several instances elegant mater
ials are used, even for morning dresses
but the resourceful woman has al
ways access to less expensive fabrics
and trimmings.
A model that might serve for repro
duction in serve, repp, etc, has skirt
in taupe. 1t is narrow and clinging,

riably used on these dainty squares of

The writer knows of no one who has
tried 1t that has discarded the open
air house. There are a number of
styles of the open-air poultry build
ing, all having some advantages, but
those who have made the subject a
careful study and have experimental
largely seem satisfied that the partic-
ular style is not so important as the
fundamental principle, that Of a per-
feet circulation of pure, fresh air.
1t is almost impossible to harm a
fowl with fresh air. Drafts and
dampness cause the many ills that
fowls are heir to. All buildings
should be tightly rooted and the open
side faced in the direction from which
the least wind and storms come.
Three sides of the building should be
absolutely tight, to prevent drafts,
opening three or four feet wide the
full length of house, covered only by
wire netting. A curtain is neither
necessary nor desirable. Fowls
should roost against the side opposite
the opening. Fowls give off several
times as much moisture as any do
nestle animal and it is this fact that
causes houses that are tightly closed
to have that damp, rank odor that is
so noticeable. With the open-air
house the building is as sweet in the
morning as it is at any time during
the day, the fowls are bright and
snappy instead of heavy and sluggish.
Was 1t ever your misfortune to sleep
in room with some 10 or a dozen
persons with all the windows tightly
shut? How did you feel in the morn
ing?
In building poultry houses avoid
expensive contrivances and bric-a-
brac. Make them as simple as pos
sible for comfort and convenience.
Do not make lodging places for lice
and dirt. Build we'll but leave off
the frills and the fads.

NEWS OF THE OLYMPIA OIL PROSECUTORS

Scores Of we'll financed, close cor
porations, have been negotiating with
Operating companies and lease holders
for oil leases. 1t is predicted that
most of these concerns will be on the
ground ready for active work before
the first of the year. Practically
every Oil field in America is, or has
been represented in the field during
the past three weeks and many agents
representing large capital are making
theri headquarters at Tenino.
Several new companies are being
formed or have been formed during
the past week. The Inter-Ocean COM
pany was Incorporated by c. w.
Kirkbride Of the Tacoma stock ex-
change and associates early in the
week, and the rig which Kirkbride is
bringing from Ohio will soon be
pounding.
The opening of the Tacoma stock
exchange last week has tended to
steady the market in so far as oil
stocks are concerned. The exchange
has helped to place market value
on the stocks traded in and has helped
to create a stronger confidence in the
operating companies than could be
had when the stocks were being
traded on the curb.
Construction of a derrick and
placing the machinery for we'll No.
of the United Oil & Land company is
in active progress and it is expected
drilling will be commenced by the
first of the year. The work is being
done under the direction of Charles
G. Thrasher, agent of julius Fried
the big California oil operator, who
is reported to be watching develop
ments in this field closely. Lumber,
machinery, tools, casing, boiler,
engine, and, in fact, everything neces-
sary to start the drill on it's down
ward course is on the ground and six
men are eXerting their best efforts to
get the drill in motion at the earliest
possible date.
A new company has been incorpo-
rated at Oakville to drill near that
city.

POULTRY HOUSE CONSTRUCTION

The proper construction of poultry
houses is one of the vital elements Of
success and should not be overlooked
by the poultryman, whether he keeps
but a few fowls on his back lot or
whether he is engaged in the bust
ness on large scale. Space does not
permit of an extensive discussion, but
here are afew general principles that
should govern.
For this climate the open-air house

VISITING GRAY'S HARBOR SHOW.

The writer of these columns is
spending a portion of the week at
Aberdeen at the Gray's Harbor show,
which has attained the reputation of
being one of The best cooped and best
managed shows in the Northwest.
Five years ago there was but little
really good poultry raised in Che
halls county, but since the advent of
the annual show the advance is
almost unbelievable. Breeders from
that section are now exhibiting at
Portland, Spokane, Tacoma and Seat
lie and winning more than their share
of the prizes.

WORK GOES RIGHT ON.

Development work in the Olympia
Tenino field is not tagging, for,
though the trouble at the Crescent
interfered with the financing of many
of the companies which were late in
forming, those that started early are
comfortably fixed financially and are
getting right down to work. Several
rig builders are in the field with
timber and before the end of the
present week there will be number
of derricks showing.
The Scatter Creek company has
"spudded in" it's we'll near the discov-
cry hole. The hole was started be-
fore the rig builders were even we'll
under way on their work, but the
Scatter Creek people are rushing
things along so as to have their we'll
one of the first in the field. A Key
stone No. rs well rig is being used to
get through the overlay, and to drive
the hole as fast as possible until the
big Standard which was recently pur-
chased in the South by Superin'
tendent Slocum arrives on the job.
This we'll will be pushed night and
day, the officers of the company an
nounce.
The Tacoma Oil company is also
rushing it's rig builders and crew in
the field, getting ready to start hole
near the Crescent we'll, as soon as it's
Standard rig arrives on the ground.
At the Pacific States well the big
new Standard rig is pounding away
and many of the oil men who have
recently visited the field believe that
this we'll will be the second to be
brought in. The showing in the Pa
cific States we'll is becoming better
as depth is gained. The Standard rig
went on the ground after the Star rig
had been abandoned with depth of
500 feet.
At the Tenino sandstone quarry the
showing made by the diamond drill
prospecting OutuI WHiCH IHO al aim
Oil company is using, is causing con-
siderable excitement. The drill has
pierced shales which are heavily i'm
pregnated with oil and as depth is
gained the oil flow becomes stronger.
The Home company, the Tenino-
Little Rock, the Globe and the Utah
company are rushing work on their
rigs and wells where drilling has &C
tually started. There is great
amount of rivalry being shown by the
various companies to bring in the
second we'll.
The Utah company has completed
its S2-foot derrick, one Of the largest
in the field, and the massive frame
work is awaiting the arrival of the
Standard rig, en- route from Marietta,
Ohio.
The field is being surveyed and in
vestigated by scores of biologists, oil
experts and engineers and land
agents. Leases are being eagerly
sought and are changing hands daily.
The best of the leases which are
being sold are commanding high
prices.
