The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-03-04

Saxon woman, whether she be in Eng
land or America, feels more con-
tent with a thread of worsted in her
street suit until hot weather comes
and makes it unbearable. Even
through the dog days she likes to feel
that such a coat and skirt are hang
ing in her wardrobe, ready for an
emergency.
The new jersey cloth has some
thing of the feeling of the sweater,
and while the larger part of its use
may be confined to life in the coun-
try and in small towns, there is good
reason to prophesy that it will find it's
way in the streets of the great
centers.
Brown is one of the colors that
the dyers of the new Jersey cloth evi.
IDENTIFY like, for some very smart suits
of it have appeared. Brown has not
been among the fashionable shades
for several seasons. We have quite
ignored it, although we have given a
warm slice of our affections to it's pale
sister, beige. Probably the welcome
accorded the leather tones has sug.
gested to the dyers the introduction OF
real brown. The reason, however, is
a negligible factor in the condition
The fact remains that brown as well
as gray are colors to be reckoned with
from now on.
There was so much distate on the

ton by reducing interference and atmospherts; to use by the war depart
ment in the field service, as the receiving apparatus is portable. 1t can be
carried readily in a light vehicle, or ven by a single observer, to use by the
coast guard service to receive distress signals and locate the direction from
which they come.
The bureau of navigation of the department of commerce an use it to
locate amateur or other stations that are not observing the radio regulations
or are otherwise interfering with radiotransmhsson of the government or
legitimate commercial business.
The standards bureau has been engaged IN al investigation of the sub
jet for some time and has developed a instrument which is simple and
practical and very efficient in operation. The apparatus indicates the direc-
ton of the source at the same time that the messages re being received,
and, though very sensitive to radiauons in a given direction, is less affected
by atmospheric disturbances and interfering radiauons from other directions
than an ordinary receiving apparatus.

For New Sleeves.

Now that sleeves are coming to
mean so much in fashion, a pattern
for new sleeves means a good deal
to those who have old frocks to be
remodeled. Such a pattern can be
had for the new bishop sleeves, three
three-quarter length, and three full
length. The longer ones have long,
shirring at the top that holds the
sleeve in close to the arm.
Ribbon Castings of Point d'Esprit.
Shirred bands of point d'esprit are
placed around the neck of some of the
nightgowns, with wide ribbon under
meath. The same sort of trimming is
very often used at the waist when
there is a ribbon sash.

one might enliven such a blanket,

upon the background.

What is the Object?

Can any one say what the object
is Of shipping car load of provis-
ions from here to Mile Lac, a dis
lance of not less than one hundred
and fifty miles, altho the provis-
ions could have been secured at
Duluth, one hundred miles nearer
to Mile Lac?
The supplies were evidently in
tended for the Mile Lac Indians
who have just been paid their an
nuities.
The expenses of course come
out of tribal funds, and while there
should be no objections to giving
the Mile Lac Chippewas rations,
the expenses of the additional
freight charges by shipping from
here instead of from Duluth should
have been saved.
No one in the Chippewa service
seems to care for expenses as long
as tribal funds pay them.
