ALL HAVE MILITARY EFFECT
Cut and Trimming of New BIouses
Are Alike in This Respect in
'@ the Seasons Styles.

The military effect of trigness and
trimness is carried out not only on the
cut of the new blouses but also in
their trimmings. Edges are bound
with narrow braid, buttons are used
in close ranks and bows and all sorts
Of silk loops and ornaments simulate
military frogs. A stunning blouse of
coffee-colored golden-rod satin-the
supple, soft satin so liked for blouse
wear-has a buttoned-up collar in
choker style and link cuffs fastened
with white pearl buttons Four
frogs of white silk cord, with loops
caught over immense ball buttons COW
cred with the coffee satin, appear to
fasten the blouse fronts, but under
meath are hidden snap fasteners, a
safer and saner closing than the wide
ly separated frogs. A blouse of dutch
blue georgette crepe is trimmed with
black edge binding braid and small
eagle brass buttons in true military
style.
One of the most striking new i'm
ported blouses, fresh from Paris, is
charming model of sheerest white
wolfe, embroidered with big yellow
centered daisies, and a smart black
tie. Pintucking and hemstitching and
small motifs of hand embroidery add
their quota of prettiness to the new
material and so delectable in color.

English Photographer Follows
Shells With His Camera.
Sees Houses Fall and Then Rushes
Into the Ruins to Take Pic
tures-TeIIs of the Ypres
Fight.

London.-Christophe Pilkington is
making an official regimentaI record of
the doings of the Scots guards at the
front Armed with a camera he has
permission to go anywhere and photo
graph anything.
Lecturing before the Selborne soci-
ETY. Mr.. Pilkington's descriptions of
the terrible fighting round Ypres were
full of the realism possible only from
man who had lived with the soldiers
as one of them.
OF the 1000 men who left the Tower
with him on September Is only 100
now remain and of the officers there
is remnant of two.
Round about Ypres the Seventh di-
vision got into the thick of the German
guns. you continually heard men
who had been through Indian cam
ipaigns and South Africa say that what
they had been through before was an
absolute picnic compared to what they
had to put up with from the Germans"
The battle of Ypres, which lasted for
weeks and is not over yet, was for Mr..
Pilkington time of cycling about with
his camera, usually under shell fire,
taking extraordinary pictures of
smashed up houses and anything par
ticularly exciting that happened
Mr.. Pilkington was so near the &C.
tual thing that he would see a shell
fall into house full of sleeping SOL
diers, and a few minutes afterward
in xrrifh h &c
Rake a photograph of the horrible mess
snside. He said that after a time men
became curiously Indifferent about the
shells, and he showed a photograph of
some transport drivers calmly gazing
round to see exactly where the shells
were going to fall and if it was time
to move on.
Custom becomes, as it were, an
other nature" People seem to have
been living much as usual in the
houses on the Menin road during this
terrible time, and ten minutes after a
shell had wrecked house Mr.. Pilking-
ton photographed people hunting for
souvenirs. One thing that astonished
him was the sight of some children
playing with toys on a doorstep in one
of the hottest places.
He photographed a soldier having
his hair cut by a comrade with shells
falling all around at a spot christened
by the soldiers Hell Corner" He saw
the French burying their dead in lay
ers in a big hole made by Jack John
son. "They were like herrings in a
barrel" He insisted that there is
nothing picturesque to be seen, and
his photograph of line of guardsmen
advancing to the attack showed moth
ing but few blobs of khaki in a mud
dy field.

BLACK STOCK IS BECOMING
Properly Arranged, 1t Should Give JUST
the Right Touch to the Tai
Eored Costume.

For a tailored waist there is moth
ing quite so trig as a black satin
stock. high in proportions and livened
by white frill of some sort sticking
out under the chin. A decidedly good
looking one of this order is made In
this way: Buy half yard of heavy
black satin or grosgrain ribbon.
Make this the exact size Of the neck,
boning it so that it will not sag loose
ly about the throat The ribbon should
be very wide so that it can be laid
over in fiat plaits around the throat.
These are tackled down in place. Do
not fasten in the center back, but on
one side. where a row of tiny white,
fat pearl buttons is placed. These
run up and down; similar row being
placed at the side opposite. The row
of buttons should come directly under
each ear.
Now comes the piece de resistance
of the entire stock. These are square
tabs of white faille which unfold, petal
like, beneath the chin. One square
comes directly under the chin, one on
either side of the face, another d.
rectly behind each ear and last one
in the back of the collar These
square pieces are wired to stand out
like a Pierrot ruff and are a very chic
and pretty finish to the somber stock.

MOST ANCIENT RACE

municat1on by means of signs. He
asked the Indian chief if he. in his
great wisdom, could tell the white
man whence came the red men-their
origin. The aged chief by signs indi-
Gated that the history of the Indians
went back to the beginning of the
world 1t told how his ancestors had
driven a whole nation into a huge
cavern and sealed them there to per.

When years later Chief Winnemuc-
ca had learned the white mans
tongue the Piute legends spread
among the pioneer miners and finally
reached the ears of scientific men.
At W1nnemucca's death his daughter
Sarah became attached to the fam.
lilies of army officers, and through
them the legends became public.
Her granddaughter, Sarah Winna.

the legends of her people she ra.
peated them to her instructors, until
finally Prof. j. c. Jones, chief of the
archaeological department of tho
state university, determined to make
a search for the lost cave. The
stories indicated that it must be some.
where near the Humboldt lake. Sa-
rah Winnemucca picked a spot as
near as the legends could guide her.
from which point the scientists con.
Quoted their search successfully.

The cost of Warsaw to the Teutons must not be forgotten. To gain the ground is only one point To hold 1t in the face of coming winter and the rising mass of Russian endorsements, and the increased dangers of other na tions jumping in with the allies bring a great element of doubt into the ques- tion of the tenure of the Teutons in their newly acquired territory.
 The half million people of the city and the million and a half inhabi- tants of Poland and the feeding and the policing of them brings another task to the Teutons. In conquered territory the assimilation of strange peoples is no light matter even for nation which mas not already it's hands full fighting the most powerful nations of earth Dawson News

FALL OF WARSAW

The fall of Warsaw recalls the many vicissitudes of that historic spot. Since 1S13 it has been occupied by the Rus sians, but at times has been the scene
 of serious insurrections. It was in possession at various times of the Prussians, the Swedes, the French and at other periods was independent.
 Pounded about the year $50, the city
 was the capital of the independent kingdom of Mazovia, until the fifteenth century, when it was annexed to Po- land. In the seventeenth century Swe- den, Russia, Austria, and Brandenburg contended for it's possession, at which time the trouble was settled by Russia the city was handed over to Prussia, but Napoleon occupied it in 1906, and at the Peace of Tilsit Warsaw was pro- claimed an independent duchy In 1909 the Austrians seized the city only to lose it again. After another brief spell of independence, Warsaw finally passed to Russia in 1913.
 The present occupancy of Warsaw by the Teutons does not necessarily mean it will remain in their possession. If the Russians can rally and bring powerful guns into action similar to those which have given the Teutons such strength, the ground may be re- covered in this year. It is to be recalled that even with all their preparedness the Teutons failed to hold back the Russians in the beginning of this war, and the tides of battle may before long swing the other way. If the grand duke escapes with his army toward the Russian swamps and has time to reorganize and to bring up his vast force of prospective recruits, the Teutons who are seeing many of their best men cut down daily, may be so hard hit before long with pressure from all sides as to have to yield the ground they have just gained.

THE CANALS FIRST YEAR.

The passage of a fleet of American
 battleships which was to mark the for

 the opening of the Panama Pacific ex-

 the record of traffic through the canal
 in the first fiscal year of it's existence has been presented. These two facts are notice to the world that the Pan- anna canal is now in full and success full operation. May no more landslides occur to interrupt its business and sad ly mar the triumph of that great achievment.
 Up to July 1, 1915, 530 vessels of 2,657.S65 tons had passed through the canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific and 55s vessels of 1.75S,922 tons from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The Pa- cific trade to the Atlantic both in num- Der of ships and tonnage was apprecia- bly, greater than the trade from the to the Pacific. Much of the trade from the Atlantic side was coal, of which our Pacific coast has only a

 The incident shows, however, how even the most careful driver can inffict grievious injury when least expected and 1t should therefore become an &C., tive caution to others. As was the case yesterday there are times when such occurrences can hardly be avoided but 1t Is we'll verified fact that the great majority of such accidents are directly chargable to careless and lack of caution on the part of the drivers Tn the local situation, the narrowness of the streets creates an added neces- sity for extreme care particularly ir the matter of rounding the sharp cor ners from the extremely narrow side streets A momentary lowering oi speed and a free use of the warning horn will do much to obviate possi. bilities of accident.

EVERY MAN SHOULD GET
 TWO HOURS OUTDOOR
 EXERCISE, SAYS EXPERT

One way to keep healthy and live long is to play golf, says a bulletin issued by the United States public health service. If you cannot be on the golf links two hours day then you must wheel baby carriage or make a garden to keep your physique from degenerating. The bulletin says:
 "The death rate after the age of forty is increasing in spite of the more sani- tary modes of living and greater pro- lection against communicable disease The expectation of life after forty is less than it was thirty years ago. This
 is due largely to increased prevalence of the diseases of degeneration. The muscles, arteries and other organs of those who as a result of sedentary oc cupation or indolence take too little exercise, degenerate. Hart disease, kid ney disease and other ills follow.
 "Take exercise. Take daily exercise
 Have a hobby that gets you out of doors Walk to your bushes, walk for the sake of walking. Join a walking club and keep your weekly score of miles. Keep chickens. make a garden wheel the baby or play golf or any other games, but take two hours out door exercise every day. Gymnasium work is good for those who like it and can afford it, but avoid heavy athletes. champion athlete often dies young. Be a moderate persistent, daily exponent of exercise.
