idea underlying clothes than anything
else. War is in the air and 1t Is,
therefore, bound to be reflected in
some way in women's apparel. Pos
sibly the reflection will not be in braid
and buttons, in khaki coats and leath-
er belts, but in a more upright car
riage and less artificiality in more
direct outlook on everything, there
fore on the way one dresses.
But leaping from philosophy to de-
tail, there was never such fashion
for patent leather as now. 1t has
been brought out in dark blue, an alb
solute innovation Belts, collar and
cuffs, hens to street suits, pockets
and many other accessories are fash
toned of it.
Khaki colored serge and gabardine
are in favor, more SO than the khaki
itself. Short jackets that have huge
pockets above and below the belt,
fastened over with a pointed flap and
a brass button, are made by all the
tailors. And as for military buttons,
there is no end to them. Many have
some kind of insignia on them, though,
of course, the proper one, used by the
allied armies, is not permitted.

test of spring models. Spring wealth

a walk in the New York shopping dis

quarter length pointed on the sides.

Marital Diplomacy.

Plunger-I felt awfully sorry for a
poor guy down at the exchange today.
He lost five thousand on cotton and
all the boys were guying him, and as
he started off home they tainted him
with the prediction that his wife
would land on him roughly. The poor
chap acted as though he felt pretty
bad about it.
Mrs. Plunger (sympathetically)-
Poor fellow! No doubt he used his
best judgment, and if his wife turns
on him because of his reverses she
is not worthy to be called wife. But.
who was the man?

GETS Job; Dies First Day.

John J. Cullen had been out OF
work since January. Almost every
day he had applied for work from the
contractors building bridge across
the Passaic river between Belleville
and Arlington, N. J.
An extra man was needed and the
contractors put Cullen to work.
Pleased at getting a job, he worked
with zest until noon. AS he was leav.
ing the bridge for lunch he fell into
the water a few feet from shore.
The water was shallow. Cullen
rose to his feet and staggered to
shore. Then he dropped again. When
men reached him he was dead He
was thirty-fve years old, and lived

When You Buy a Hat.

A millinery expert advises all wom-
en- to wear a white dress or white
waist when trying on hats. She says:
The color of dress may so greatly
detract from the charm of what would
be a becoming hat that the customer
at once asserts the hat does not suit,
whereas it is often becoming. We of
ten drape a customers bodice with
white before even attempting to place
hat upon her head. 1t is merely a
waste of time and patience to try one
color after another for a woman who
is wearing an off-color dress"

touch of fine lace with blue velvet
bow to give softness to the neck. 1t
allows many women chance to ap.
pear their best in the evening, for it
lends dignity, whereas the sleeveless
bodice with the jeweled shoulder straps
or the mist of illusion floating over the
upper part of the body was not in
keeping with certain figures of char
acters.
Another pictorial fashion which has
been exploited by both Beer and Cal
lot, and therefore will be extensively
taken up, is the use of old and new
lace frOcks. 1t has been a long time
since all-lace gowns were in the first
fashion, although they never quite
went out. This summer they will
be revived with enthusiasm. 1t is not
as strange that they should be intro
duced in a season of great lace-making
depression as we thought when the
first report of it came, for all the ia
brio places were limited this year
in Europe, and large and rich houses
in which fine materials are stored
thought it wise to use what they had,
trusting to the future to give them
wider variety of choice.
Splendid old lace f1ounces are used
for skirts, beneath which there are
placed finely shaded satin flowers.
The revival of real lace has suggest
ed the festoonipg of draperies on both
the skirt and bodice, and flowers of
silver gauze are used.
Along with such gowns as Irland-
aise and Kitchener and Joffre has
come martial manner among the
more versatile women. They walk
with shoulders back, instead of col
lapsed chest. They step along in
spirited way instead of sliding about.
They are clean-cut and we'll put to-
gether.
1t may be that this feature in the
new way of dressing will do more to
change the figure and the prevailing

Normal Waist Line

Short-waisted arrangements in suit
coats and separate coats are not so
much in evidence as they were in the
midwinter and advance spring show
ing, the normal waist line being given
preference, but occasional models with
the high waist line are sponsored by
the best designers, and these coats
are more becoming to some figures
than those of more sharply-defined
waist curves.

1t is the custom of aboriginal Amer
lean to inaugurate festival season

bounteous harvests and food and com
fort were assured for the winter
months. So it has been continued by
the white settler who has peopled and
developed this great country. Quay
county is in line with the spirit of
this long practiced custom and our
farmers who are civilizing the wild
prairies and converting them into
fields of agricultural and horticultural
product are to be congratulated for
the splendid showing they are making
and have been making in both county
and state exhibits during the past
seven years. This year prosperity has
smiled upon the broad acres of farm
lands in Quay county and the home
steader is everywhere busy housing
and careing for the crops that have
rewarded his labors for the year. Word

they are coming with all sorts of eX.
hibits; grain, fruits, livestock, poultry,
etc, and while there may be less elab-
oration this year in the program of
sports, the exhibits promise TO be
greater in quantity and much more
representative than ever before. There
will be no charges for admission to
the fair grounds or any Of the enter
tainments given for the benefit OF the
visitors and there is not going 10 be-

querque for exhibition at the state

tinues including the 10th. Here hun
dreds of people see our exhibits and

the country. This will help US To get
homeseekers of substantial sort ana
bring in capital to aid us in further
development of the resources of the
country. This is what we want and
what we expect as result of om
showing here and at the state fair.
The News understands that the best
of the state exhibits from the fair at
Albuquerque will go on to California
and be exhibited at the Exposition.

POTASH Is LOCATED
IN QUAY COUNTY

Prof. Fayette A. Jones, president of
the state school of mines, while here
yesterday on his way home to Socorro
after visit TO Quay county, declared
that there undoubtedly is potash in
that county, near Rock Island, but
said that it might not be in CONNER
cially workable quantities.
Potash has been in great demand
since the war has cut off the supply
from Germany and the Rock Island
people have been working hard to
bring the Quay county deposits to the
public eye.
"The occurrence is the problem" {"
Professor Jones said yesterday. "If
they had all their potash concentrated
over there there is no question but
that the deposit would be immensely
valuable. As il is, scattered more or
less, we cannot tell much about IL
until the samples have taken have
been analyzed. The prospect was well
worth investigating, anyway."-Albu-

REV. EVANS DELIVERS
T. FAREWELL ADDRESS
POPULAR PASTOR DELIVERS A
LECTURE ON PROHIBITION
TO LARGE AUDIENCE

One of the largest audiences which
has assembled in Tucumcari for long
time, listened TO the sermon lecture
delivered at the opera house last Sun
day night by Rev. A. N. Evans of the
Methodist church ON the subject of
Prohibition.
Mr.. Evans has been pastor here for
several years and has made great
host of friends. Sunday night was
his farewell sermon, and he gave it.,
not alone to his church, but to the
town. II was highly fitting closing
of his work here, to talk to all of the
people, all of his friends. The people
began TO arrive at the opera house by
7:l5 and long before the doors we're
opened "a large number of people were
waiting, and by 500 the house and
gallery were entirely filled. II is es-
timated that at least a hundred per-
sons were turned away unable to gain
admission to the house.
Evans considered prohibition from
Il Tucumcari standpoint, and delivered
lecture that will not soon be for
gotten by those who heard him. Re-
fined, kind, fair, but positive in his
utterances, and convincing in his ar
guments, he held his audience intense
ly interested.
Evans left Tuesday morning for
Denver where he will become pastor of
the Methodist church. He is expected
to return here TO further help in the
campaign.

TUCUMCAR| SCHOOL
WELL ORGANIZED
TWO DIVISIONS MADE OF FIFTH
GRADE-NEw TEACHER
Is EMPLOYED

The closing week of the first month
of school began with all departments
organized in very satisfactory man
ner. With the beginning Of the second
month of school the fifth grade will
be divided irto two divisions. The
advanced division will remain with
Mrs. Bess, and the other will be In
charge of Mrs. Galbrath, a new teacher
who has been chosen for this position
on account of her educational qualif-
cations and success as teacher. Mrs
Galbrath comes TO our schools from
Nevada where she has been highly
successful as a teacher in the interme-
diate grades of the Douglas schools
Children in the first two grades who
were not enrolled during the first
three weeks of school will not be
admitted TO these grades until the
beginning of the second semester Of
school. This action has been custo-
mary in the past years and Is neces-
sary on account Of the crowded con-
dition of the lower grades. II is also
impossible for the children entering
late to do the work that those who
have been in school during the entire
year are able to do.
Miss Finney. the special instructor
in expression and physical culture,
has arrived and is organizing classes
in these departments thiI week Par
ents who wish their children to take
up this work will find Miss Finney at
the High School during school hours.
The board of education of the Tu-
cumcari Public Schools wishes to an
nounce that no action of the board
has authorized the teachers TO take
any part in the local option campaign
during school hours, and that any ac-
tivity of the school children in sing
ing temperance songs during school
hours was without the approval of the
board of education or the city super
intendent. However the board makes
no attempt to discourage teachers or
school children from taking personal
part in the campaign outside Of regu-
lar school hours.

publication at a special meeting of the
board held on Wednesday afternoon,
September 2l.
