CHARMING FALL DRESS.


of another kind. This is an economi-
cal method of making up dress of old
and new materials. With this sort of
skirt a bolero should be worn over the
waist, and that should have a fancy
finish to the sleeve and to the collar.
The armhole should always be marked
or outlined with trimming, or fold,
where a dress is being made for forma
occasions.
The girdle shown is suitable for
morning frock, or simple afternoon
gown. For more drassy wear, cover it
with draped silk or satin and draw it

Fine white tulle was the material

Clothes Growing Away From De-
mureneSS.

1t is in just such clothes as this frock
by Callot that the threatened demure-
ness is in danger of being swept away
from us. Every one should be happy.
for we have made ourselves SO smart"
these days that it would be unfor-
tunate to have to give 1t up. When
woman wears any one of the direc-
toire styles and is able to carry it off
there is no danger of being too sub
dued. Nothing that even family re-
sembled this quality was originated in
those days.

straight silhouette is no longer the
latest thing, and the change from loose
to close fitting girdles is merely a
matter of corsets. Wear a new corset
If you want the new figure. Lots of
little ruff1es or big flounces can be
used on this skirt.

appeals in a masterful way to the
Paris designers, to judge from the diff
ficulty they experience in prying loose
from it. It acts like a live wire in
that no matter how they struggle to
let go they hold tighter.
Good for us that they do. 1t is an
agreeable period in costumery, II not
in history. The origin of most of these
clothes was ignoble, especially the in
croyable style, yet it was lovely and
made deep impress on the dress of
the century. The incroyables, you re-
member. were the first men to wear
long trousers.
The sketch shows Callot's interpre-
tation of the directoire. The skirt is
full, which is not true to type, but so
fashion wills it today. The material
is pistachio green cloth, rather an en-
trancing color, and the broad sash,
made of picot- edged ribbon. Is in
another shade of green, one that has
more brown in it, probab bly, to be slight
~ suggestive of the shell that incloses
the pistachio. 1t is fastened in front
with large cut steel buckle and the
waist is quite trinity marked out. The
hem of the skirt is scalloped, as so
many hens are, and is edged plenti-
fully with gray fur. The bodice fastens
straight down the front, the sleeves
touch the wrist and the cape extends
over the top of the arms. There Is
a high collar of the gray fur. and
that is all But the effect Is admira-

Is HAHN \ DUMMY?

George Hahn is listed In the Hibberd
city directory as superintendent and
estimator Of the Hibberd Printing Co.
John a. Hibberd. who is considerably
interested in the HibbeTd Printing Co,
is a city official-member of the board
Of safety. There is law in Indiana
forbidding a city entering into any
contract with a city official from
which such official shall derive profit
other than his salary; the same pro-
hibition existing as to the official en-
tering into a contract with the city
Last Monday night the common cOun-
ell passed an ordinance confirming a
contract between the city and George
Hahn for the printing of the city ordi-
nance book of approximately $50
copies, and the new building code, $50
copies, for which the city is 10 pay
$1.135. plus $50. So far as is known
Mr. Hahn has no print shop of his
own. The question is. is Mr.. Hahn,
superintendent and estimator for the
Hibberd Printing Co. acting as
dummy" for his employers, to screen
the skirts of John A. Hibberd, MEM
Der of the board of safety?
OF course, it is possible that Mr..
Hahn does not intend having this job
done at the Hibberd print shop. Pos
sibly the books, when they are out
will not carry the label, "Hibberdidit."
1t is purely a matter of speculation
with us. We presume that, Of course,
the administration officials in making
the contract saw to it that the law
was not violated by executing an
agreement that would not bring profit
20 any member OF that administration.
Like as not Mr.. Hahn is not dun
my for the Hibberd shop at all, but il
is the inevitable habit of the American
people to come nosing around and TO
ask questions. They just sort Of
would like 10 know.

community. The great industrial and
commercial center in which W. live
is the most cosmopolitan city in the
world. Because of the vast number Of
fore gners from all lands who live
here. Old World practises and tradi-
ion unknown in any other part of
foreign customs and habits have been
perpetuated through many genera
tons. Because of the existence of the
colonies of aliens the seed sown by
the ancestral immigrant is scattered
on fruitful soil, and certain portions
of the city look more like sections cut
from European communities than
parts of our own.
We have welcomed all who come to
us, and there is no disposition now
to bar the future seekers after liberty
and livelihood here. But their ami
mosities must be left behind. Their
transformation into true Americans
must be effected. The sentimental
regard that exists for the place Of
their nativity must not be translated
into lukeWarmEess toward the land
in which they live.
The flag that flew in the court room
when the 800 we're admitted TO citizen

ARTIFICIAL LIMB MARKET.
New YORK Press.


Reports of United States consular
agents appearing in a recent bulletin
Of the department Of commerce indi-
cate that the belligerent nations of
Europe Will not look TO America for
the artificial limbs which they Will
supply 10 soldiers needing them. Cork
legs and wooden legs made in this
country are generally superior 10
those of European manufacture. but
they are too high in price. American
consular agents do not know of any
sales of AmeriCan-made artificial
limbs. nor do they think there is a
market for them at present
The consul al Vienna reports that
Austrian surgeons study individual
cases and try to select artificial limbs
adapted TO them. There is a different
kind Of leg for a man VINO does
much standing, and the man OF seden-
tary occupation. The gOvernme nt
makes an allowance Of S50.75 10 every
soldier disabled by the loss Of an arm
or leg. There are 20 manufacturers
OF artificial limbs in Austro- Hungary.
the late Balkan wars having given
impetus TO the industry. and ii is be-
Heved they will be able 10 supply the
demand for limbs. Berlin has fac
tories which can turn out limbs on
a large scale, and they have received
heavy orders from the German gov
eminent. Greece imports artificial
limbs from Austria and Germany, the
American prices being regarded as
prOhibitive. In Turkey the poverty Of
the masses puts artificial limbs IN the
category OF luXuries. and the soldier
who has an arm or leg shot off gen.
orally gets along during the remain
der OF his life without either the limb
or a substitute

THE FOURTH AND TETANUs.

W ut6llnS REGISTER
The adoption by the United States
public health service of the slogan
mo tetanus this Fourth Of July" calls
attention TO the progress which has
been made in the fight against the
needless sacrifice of human life in
celebrations of the nations natal day.
In 1903 the Fourth of July victims of
tetanus, or lOckjaw, numbered All.
The casualty list was gradually re
duced in succeeding years until 1913,
when it was 100. and last year only
three fatalities from this cause were
recorded. With such a record ii is
not unreasonable for the health serv-
ice to look forward to a celebration
of independence day without a single
case of the dreaded disease.
The safe and some" propaganda is
responsible for this remarkable
achievement 1t shows what can be
accomplished when public sentiment
is aroused. The people have been
taught that the giant firecracker and
the toy pistol are deadly. They are
the chief causes of tetanus. And
while their use has been restricted.
and more care is now exercised in
handling fireworks than ever before,
there has been progress also in the
treatment of lOCkjaw. Anti-tetanic
serum is effective. but il must be used
very soon after the injury is done.
Government health authorities urge
parents to see that all blank cartridge
wounds are given attention, no matter
how trivial they may appear to be.
