TURBANS REMAIN IN FAVOR
InnumerabIe Smart Models to Select
From, and Almost Equal Variety
of Materials.

Turbans continue, if anything, more
popular than ever. Russian effects,
Scotch effects, various notched and
cornered styles and very long, severe,
boat-shaped models are smart. Large
sailors are worn for knockabout, and
huge, 1aring Gainsboroughs are among
the dressy models.
Fur-cloth is much used in the max
ing of smart turbans, combined with
dull, soft tinsel, panne velvet and
satin, also frequently combined with
felt. Tinsel ornaments and tinsel
braids are used to bind brims and
edge novel fancies. Bandings of vari-
Gus widths, edgings, cockades, bows,
huge loops, tassels and rabbits ears
of fur are all used as trimmings.
Frequently single flower is used
in combination with fur Metal roses
are favored for this purpose. Some
of the newest flowers have fur petals
or fur centers All sorts of tall trim
fancies of peacock, ostrich, coque and
burnt novelties are used for trimming
small turbans. Beaded and spangled
birds and ornaments continue to be
popular

FEAR SHORTAGE OF HORSES
American Army Officers May Suggest
That Sale to BeIigerents Be
Checked.

London.-American army officers
who are watching the military stu
alton in Europe are concerned over
the prospect of Americas supply of
horses being depleted by the enor-
nous expectations to the belligerents,
this creating a dangerous condition
regarding American army require
ments. The wholesale and indiscrim-
mate shipments of mares is regarded
particularly as dangerous. 1t is prob
able that some suggestion will be made
for the transportation of mares, pos
sibly encouraging the owners to keep
them by the payment of some gov
eminent bounty, as in England and
France. France recently ordered $780,,
900 horses from America. New con-
tracts will be made the first of the
year, and England also is making
large purchases in America and Can
ada. The situation threatens to be
far worse than after the Poer war,
when Americas horse industry was
paralyzed

pei the idea at once. Where there is
encouragement or discomfort it must
find expression, directly or indirectly,
especially among the sick. But there
is the same story of cheerful patience
and endurance everywhere. The Eng

be fighting with Tommy Atkins, and
they do not count the cost. l have had

DAINTY BOUDOIR WEAR

WlTcHiNGLY BEAUTIFUL.
Illustration Shows One of the Prettiest

"Good enough to eat" has long
qualified as a verbal seal of approval
on those things that particularly call
forth ones admiration, and in connec-
ton with the new negligees the term
certainly seems suitable.
Just the mere term "negligee" does
not seem half expressive enough for
the delicious clouds of lace and bill

bewitching room gowns! For instance,

A simple kimono-sleeved bodice

TO PLEASE THE SMALL GIRL
Designers Have Created for Her Some
of the Most Adorable Hats
and Bonnets.

The small girls hat of this present
year might have been painted by Sir
Joshua Reynolds or Greuze Velvets
and furs, plumes and dowers-all lay
their tribute at the shrine of this
young person of from four to eight.
Plumes are particularly in evidence
this year, and there are most adorable
bonnets of silk and velvet and fur,
with a scoop brim that is underneath
all soft shirred silk of either white
or some delicate color and is on top
one or two long plumes brought soft
ly about to streamers of ribbon in the
back. Here, for the heroine of four,
is one with crown of brocaded velvet
"a rather large, puffy crown-and
softly bent brim, followed pictur-
esquely by two light-blue ostrich feath-
ers with uncurled aanges. To paint
the lily, there is a rosebud or two
tucked in between the feathers.
Peacock velvet makes two of the
very prettiest hats noted for her "go-
ing on six" Both of these are the
dear little mushroom shapes which
we know, and both are combined with
other materials in a way to make
every mothers heart melt. In the first
one there is band of moleskin
brought about the crown and punctu-
ated with rosebuds that fall carelessly
and at irregular intervals over the
brim. Another sets twixt a frill, gold
net on the upper side and black on
the lower, garland of silken fruit.
A change from the mushroom is Of
fered by this little imported, whose
straight brim and gathered crown are

fast, snappy signal drill followed
by long hard scrimmage was hand
ed out by Coach Vaughn to the high
school football team last evening and
the eleven came through the practice
IN line shape. While the team is not
playing as well as it would if the regu-
lars were in the lineup there is a lot
of pep and fighting spirit in the squad
which will aid it when it bucks against
Grinnell on Saturday.
Several new plays have been given
the team and open formations coupled
with a series of covered line smashes
will give the scarlet and black team
something to watch. While the red
and white team will be outweighed
several pounds they will overcome this
difficulty by shifty plays and open
field running.
Coach Vaughn has not made posi-
tive statement as to who will start
the. game but he will send the men
aaglnst Grinnell that have shown real
stuff this week. Snow, has been hold
ing down the center with Rater and
Spiwak in the guard positions. Scott
and Woodrow will in all probability
start at tackles with Fisher and HARRY
at ends. Hampton will pilot the team
from quarterback position with Crit
fin at fullback and Gardner, Michaels
and Shick at halfbacks.
The tickets are being disposed OF
rapidly and a big crowd is being look
ed for.

GR|NNELL TEAM IS
IN GOOD CONDITION
SCARLET AND BLACK SQUAD WILL
ENTER CORNELL GAME IN
FINE TRIM.
The "GaIt corsage."

Grinnell, Nov IL. = With two weeks
to recuperate from the effects of the
Drake game and get into shape for
Cornell, it seems a foregone conclu-
sion that the Scarlet huskies will make
their advent on the Mt. Vernon grid
iron week from Saturday in the best
of condition to establish their claim on
the conference title Light workouts
have been the order for the men this
week and they are enjoying what Is
really vacation, in comparison with
the rigorous daily practice of the last
four weeks.
Monday afternoon, the squad was
dismissed without a workout and a
light practice with few turns around
the track was the order Tuesday. Rain
yesterday put damper on football
ardor and a brisk signal practice was
carried on in the gym. With short
scrimmages last night and today the
squad will be ready for stiff prepare
ton next week of the Cornell battle.
The odds here are going high for
Grinnell in the game with Fingers
men. Comparative scores with Carleton
give Cornell the advantage by three
points, but the comparison of Grlnnell
and Drake with the results of the Cor
nell Highland Park and Drake High
land Park games give the locals such
an obvious advantage that 1t is not be-
lieved Cornell has any chance to win.
However, the locals are not going to
let any chance slip by through over
confidence. Cornell never fails to prove
the hardest fighter of the Grinnell
schedule and the Blue and White Is re-
ported to be entertaining some Ideas
about conference title as we'll as

AMEs PREPARED
FOR HARD FIGHT.
MANY RIOTERS WILL FOLLOW
TEAM WHICH is IN BEST OF
CONDITION.

Ames, Nov. 12 - Interest in the
Iowa-Ames game is high at Iowa State
college. Nearly 1000 tickets have been
disposed of to rooters who will go to
Iowa City for the contest this Satur-
day.
1.-THE boy will fight" says Coach
Mayser, perhaps the hardest they
have fought this season. The Old
psychological doubt, result of the last
few years defeats, is clearing away.
As to the likely outcome of the game
= what's the use of talking? It doesn't
pay"
The Ames team came through the
Morningside game in good condition.
Bruises and stiffness have all about
disappeared except in the case OF Cap
tain John and Packer.
"The lineup Saturday says Coach
Mayser, twill be about the same as It
was against Morningside. Packer Will
not get into the game but there Is
likelihood that Captain John will have
a chance to play"
A light scrimmage each night is
Coach Maysers practice program for
the big game. The last scrimmage
will be held Thursday. Friday noon
the team will leave for Cedar Rapids
where it will stay overnight and pro-
coed to Iowa City Saturday morning.
Were going to give them an awful
ly hard fight said Director Clyde Wll
lianns, and he ought to know.
