United States Dyes.

America, for some reason, has never
been able to produce the dyes OF France
or even of Italy or the Balkan states.
Europe has always been able to give
the world an artistic shading of fab
ric that the United States could not
even cope with, and it looks from the
result as IL the dye workers did not
try very hard to produce more than the
ordinary tones that pass muster in
general commerce.
Probably with dearth of dyestuffs
from Europe we may turn seriouly to-
ward solving this problem, and our ar
lists may aid the ordinary workers in
arriving at something that approaches
real art. If this is the outcome of a
stringency of dyes. then the apparel
world is to be congratulated.
The first break in the line toward a
new fashion for evening frocks was in
the use of a pale blue velvet tight
since this start there have been sew
eral attempts to make the style a
popular one, and now comes the idea
of using the white waist for a black
skirt in the form of an afternoon
frock.
Nine. Paquin was responsible for the
first advocacy of short white coat
with black satin skirt, and this new
kind of costume may have been sug-
gested by a memory of that one, but 1t
is much better looking and has made
a wider appeal. The sketch shows the
newest model embodying the idea, and
one must admire 1t even if one is
dubious about copying it.
The skirt is of black velvet gath
cred around the waist, hanging wide
and free at the shoetops and bordered
with gray fur. a few inches below the
gathers at the waist Is dropped a belt
Of white cloth to match the bodice, a
trick which is commendable because it

sides and is finished there with silk
pompens.
AS extreme as this frock may laok at
first glance, it soon presents itself az
good idea for the woman who may
have a velvet skirt, or one of eleth,
satin or of any color. as well as black.
To this skirt she may add whtta
bodice modelled on the lines of this one
and emit the large collar Of fur II such
peltry Is not among her possessions.

NEUTRAL SHADES ARE POPULAR.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
NEW YORK, January 11.-All neutral
shades are in evidence for the late
winter season, hardly as a tribute to
President Wilson's proclamation. but
as a possible warning that dyestuns
are difficult to get, and that the peo-
pie who work in bright eolers may
have to be content with neutral or
white shades.
This is a question that is causing
much anxiety among those who pre-
pare colored cloths. and. although GER
tain large shipments of the dyes need
ed have been received, no one knows
where more is to come from, as the
importers of important ingredients for
all manner of things are not feeling
hilarious about safe shipping or
speedy termination to the war, as they
did two months ago. They are begin
ming to look inward to find out what
can be produced at home to take the
place of that which they imported.
This is an excellent method to adopt,
and may be of everlasting help to our
industries if it succeeds, but 1t Is TOO
stupendous a problem to be easily
handled within the year.

TRUSTY INSANE PATIENT
ATTACKS 5-YEAR-OLD BOY
N. L. Simmons, Father Of Lad, Com
plains Of Allowing Crazy
People at Large.

Residents of Congress Heights are
complaining at the way trusty patients
of the Government Asylum for the In
sane are allowed to roam about the
vicinity. and N. L. Simmons, a steam
filter of the navy yard, pointed out to-
day that a tragedy might have occur
red If it had not been for the vigilance
of Policeman Thrift of the eleventh
precinct yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Simmons five-year-old son. Noah,
was playing near the ball park on
Nichols avenue near his homo about
2:30 o'clock, when he was approached
by Harry Hooper. . patient at the asy-
lum, who led the little fellow to
woodland a short distance away.
AS soon as he was out of view OF the
park Hooper SUDDENLY seized the child
in a gorilla like grasp. evidently with
intention, as Mr.. Simmons believes. OF
squeezing the life out Of the child.
The lad let out a couple Of lusty yells
and this brought Policeman Thrift to
the scene. He promptly took Hooper
into custody and later removed him to
the government asylum. The child was
taken to his home, where it was found
with the exception Of few scratches
he was uninjured.

Williewaughts

When corks are popping and
youths are yawping a bacchanalian
song, we graybeard relics, old,
world worn alexis, remark,
They're starting wrong" The
voices raucous that jeer and mock
us, and sing OF joy today, will wall
in sorrow, some dark tomorrow,
for chances thrown away. For
wines a mocker, a plexus shocker,
that ruins nerves and brain, it sets
heads aching, and hearts a-break-
ing, and fills your bones with pain.
Strong drink is raging, and when
you're aging, you realize this
truth; oaths being handy, you
curse the brandy and gin you
drank in youth. Old age discloses
empurpled noses, and hands that
shake and twitch. and maudlin
grouches, and midnight couches in
alley or in ditch. The gilded fell
lows whom wassail mellows in
gilded booze saloon some day
may grovel in squalid howell, and
pray for just one prune. Where
are the singers, the gay humding--
ers, who with me drank and
spelled? In countless numbers
they have their slumbers out in
the Potter's Field. The fellows
gifted, who nightly lifted the
glass, where folly flies, who might
have risen-but died in prison
with none to close their eyes!

Grams Here.

D. L. Rice, Col. c. Fred Cook, Capt. ].
Walter Mitchell, John P. Welcker and
Capt. Winfield Jones. directors Of the
National Defense League. concerning

ish War Veterans in the conference on

GRABBING INDUSTRY
ALARMED AT SHORTAGE
Will Seek Laws to Prevent Dredg-
ing and Taking Of Under
sized Crustaceans.

Those interested in the grabbing in
dustry in the states of Maryland and
Virginia, 1t is stated, are becoming
alarmed at the increasing shortage in
the crab supply. Already movements
have been started to have the legis-
latures of Maryland and Virginia pass
laws that will stop the taking of the
crabs from their beds in the bottom of
the bays and rivers in winter and reg
ulating the size crabs that can be sent
to market.
Swepson Earle, secretary of the
Maryland shellflsh commission, esti-
mates the loss to that state from the
shortage in the crab catch to be about
100000 annually, but the crab pack
ers put the loss at from $4,000 to
$4,000 weekly for about five months
in the year.. Unless remedial legilsla-
ton is enacted promptly the crab in
dustry will be ruined, the crab authori-
ties say.
The abuse Is said to consist in the
catching of young crabs from one to
five inches in length without giving
them a chance to grow, shed out and
become marketable as soft-shell crabs.
Another bad plan is the dredging of
the female crabs in winter. Both of
these abuses are said to benefit only
q very few persons, while injuring
thousands and making the price of
crabs high throughout the states.

INDIAN HEAD LAYS IN COAL.
Tug Making Daily Trips to Pile Up
10000 Tons,

Heavy shipments of Cumberland coal
are being made from Georgetown to
the naval powder plant dump on Mat
tawoman creek, Md. The tug Edith G..
Winship is making daily trips to the
naval coal dump. taking down two
boats with from 225 to $50 tons of coal
aboard and returning with two light
barges. 1t is said to be the intention
Of the Indian Head powder plant au-
thorities to lay in a supply Of coal in
excess of 10000 tons to provide several
months fuel for the powder plant
should the canal be closed for an I'M
usual period during the coming winter.
Shipments Of coal from Georgetown to
New England points will be continued
for about a month longer. One of the
big barges of the Consolidation Coal
Company is lying loaded at George
town waiting orders and light barge
is reported on her way here from Bos-
ton. This barge should arrive here
early in this week.

Disposes of Surplus Cord Wood.

About a year ago. in a general clean
up Of the grounds about Fort WASH
ington as a sanitary measure, q num-
Der Of trees were cut down and finally
made into cord wood. As tho wood
thus obtained was more than could be
used at the fort or at the other army
posts about this city. arrangements
have been made to ship a considerable
quantity of it to Fort Monroe. The
three-masted schooner Mabel and Ruth.
Capt. Conway, has been chartered to
take about $50 cords Of the wood to
Fort Monroe, and as soon as she COM
pletes unloading lumber here she will
be taken to Fort Washington to start
loading. Another cargo OF the wood
will probably be sent from Fort Wash
ifgton to Fort Monroe before the com
ing of cold weather.
