Good IStvEog for the Scf100l G1fI
May Mant0n

DEFORE many weeks the B door; l.:;; of the .sheo! s.,l.5 house sss there will be a demand for ,ehool costumes. These de- ens will, therefore. interest I.c mothers. The frocks are l suitable for such washable materials as gingham and linen ard galatea, pique and the like and the coat-su;t can be made from any seasonable material. It is a very good model for the younger girl for the lines are all ehild-like and simple. In the illustration, it is made of a lightweight cheviot with a velvet collar and trimming. The dress of shepherds check is made with a blouse and claited skirt and illustrates a checked gingham with trimming of pale green chambray which is ex- tremely attractive and smart. The plaid dress is made of linen
 
 eponge combined with handker- chief lawn for the center front and plain white linen of a. heavier sort for the collar, cuffs and belt. The shocking makes pretty feature of that frock, but wherever shocking is shown simple gathers or shirrings can be substituted, if preferred. Stripes are to be just as fashion able for the Autumn as they have been for the Summer, and the striped frock shown is made of one of the new Fall linens trimmed with white. Here, the edges are simply stitched but scalloped edges are much liked and would be pretty if the work were done in color to match the stripes. Linen serge and crepe linen make the combination in the little dress at the center of the group. The tw,; wcaves contrast we'll and the suggestion will De fou.ld>a valuable one for rcrnode!lin.

very pretty show and very attractive finish, and since they are the simplest things in the world to apply, the hint should be a valuable one to the home dressmakcr. Apparently, we wiu wear tunics. These new ones are wide and full and the skirts beneath them are wide also, although not so wide as the over-skIrts.
 The neck line varies. Some gowns are shown with open, some with high necks but there is unqucstionably something of a tendency toward the high collar. A very attractive model and one that is suitable for serge and for the alpaca that is to be so much used or for lightweight broadcloth, !s made with snug fitting bodice that IS very slightly open at the front above the bust line to be frilled with ruflles of lace. There is high collar within edges with little rufllcs of lace and this collar is held by bow at the front: The skirt is d straight full one but laid in plaits that are arranged in groups and with inserted pockets that are edged with frils The bodice extends over it for about one or one and one half inches and is finished with a narrow box plated frill. Accompany inp this costume is bag of the ma tcrial, simple ono drawn up by means of a cord in casing, but this bag is embroidered with steel beads.
 A gown that excmplihcs the ten dency toward neck of different sort combines mulberry broadcloth with taffeta showing broad stripes of null berry, and black, these stripes being cut on the cross. In this case, there
 is a bodice, a skirt and girdle. The very wide front of the bodice and the panel of the skirt are made of the silk, that panel being laid in plaits. The sides and the back of the skirt arc full and there Is wide girdle of the cloth. The collar fits closely around the throat with over portions at the sides that extend in points over the shoulders. A Jenny model, is made with an open neck and women who cling to that style will be glad to know of it. The material is the blue serge that is So much liked by the French dresslnakers and the simple blouse and skirt are joined to straight band at the front. The blouse is rolled back with the revers that extends quite to the belt line but the edges of the skirt are Tapped and buttoned together. The revcrs are faced with the same but the rolling collar is of velvet and there is dainty little cheinisette of Georgette crepe that rolls over onto the collar and revers to form a second narrow collar. The edge of the skirt is finished with the cartridge plaits with which we have grown familiar, approximately, four or five inches deep but they do not extend quite to the front, the trimming bcginn;np few inches at each side of the center. A very smart model and serviccable model is made of navy blue serge with S: .,ple skirt joined to the straight bodice already mentioned. that is iirished witt. little lril' It is made with a deep Vshapcd no'. and this neck is finis l>,. witt q ilarins collar of heavy ritbc' s'!k.

 WAY TO HIT ALLIES
Interference with American Shipping to Be Met With Rataliatory
 Tactics.

Washington, Aug. .-Retaliatory legislation. striking at the commerce of the entente allies, in support of diplomatic protests against interfer- ence with American trade. has been decided unon as a general policy Of the government after extended confer ences between the state department officials and administration leaders. This was stated officially today with the explanation that provisions Writ ten into the shipping bill and the pending revenue measure were first steps in tho policy.
 The amendment to the revenue blll would give the president discretion ary power to prohibit the importation of products which cannot be import ed into n foreign country from the United States. The amendment to the shipping bill. which has already passed both houses, gives the presl- dco discretion to refuse clearance papers to all ships refusing to take American merchandise on other grounds than lack of space. Both oi these provisions will cause bitter I fe cling abroad. and may result in further restrictive measures.

: Nine thousand, two hundred dol lars in pension warrants are to be distributed in the next few days to 115 Confederate veterans and widows of veterans residing in Jefferson county.

 NEW INDUSTRIES
Trustees Enthusiastically Decide Upon Plans for Promoting Road Work, Better Farming and Success of
 Negro Fair.

The decision to hold a conference with county judges of Dallas. Qua chita, Cleveland and Jefferson coun- ties, to discuss and decide upon plans for a comprehensive plan for the building of a system of connected good roads, was reached yesterday at the first of the winter seasons lunch cons, by the trustees of the chamber of commerce.
 The conference is to be held in Pine BlufI September 15, with the trustees of the chamber of commerce as the hosts of the visitors, and Sec retary E. B. Bloom was instructed to extend cordial invitations to the sev- eral county judges to be in attend ance.
 Aid "ArAansas On Wheels.-
 The trustees also decided to il- struct the executive committee to meet Tuesday or Wednesday, for the purpose of beginning movement for raising funds with which to extend hearty cooperation in the matter of having two excellent and complete eX- hibits from this city and county pIdCSu OH Al hduoaS Ou W uSclS.
 Secretary Bloom brought this mat ter to the attention of the trustees, l inforing them that County Judge c. NJ. Philpot and MT. Wood, chairman of the state railroad commission, has accomplished much toward this propo- sition, and two exhibits are assured, each in charge of representative who will explain the benefits and advant- ages to be had in this city and coun- ty. by farmer or manufacturer. Mir Bloom urged that the chamber of com merce aid in the matter, that no ef- fort may be spared to make this ad- vertising be of the greatest possible benefit to the Pine Bluff territory.
 In this connection, MT. Bloom re minded the trustees that they had, at a meeting early in the summer. de cided that he should make the tril with tho Pine Bluff exhibit if such eN- hibit were placed on the train, and he strongly recommended that the! change this action, because of the fact

TN spite of the fact that late July.
 August and even early September, . represent the only really hot period of the season, interest at the present moment centers upon what Will be worn with the coming of cooler days rather than what is being worn at the moment, with the result that we see serge gowns and velvet hats and various other advance fashions when we are signing for the comfort of dia- phanous clothing and cool sea breezes:: While there is always a possibility ot a change occurring after this day. the present indications point clearly to the very general use of one-picce street dresses for early Autumn. Since they will be useful in August and September for the mountain resorts and since they make excellent travelling. costumes, they are especially worthy of cont ment, and readers will, perhaps, be interested to know what the latest features are.
 If we may judge from the early models shown, there is as yet no relief from the shortage in applied trimmings; for embroidery, fancy stitcchery and all kinds of finish that can be created by the dressmakers and manufacturers themselves are the ones most often seen. For the serge dresses, worsted embroidery is being extensively em- ployed. It really makes a very rich effect and will be desirable for cool weather. For the gowns to be worn during the late August and September, something a little lighter will be de- sirable for the worstcd certainly gives an added impression of warmth. Simple gowns arc embroidered with silk threads and the little mere fancy ones, those designed for afternoon wear, arc embroidered, sometimes with silk, sometimes with beads and some times with both. The worsted em- broideries are applied over very simple designs and fill up rapidly 50 that 1t is easy work to do.
 Apparently, we are to have wide skirts but limp skirts, nothing stiff or nothing extended, and favorite models for these one-piece dresses show straight lines and the low waist line that might be called notifications of the Moyen age. A very charming model is made of dark blue serge in summer weight but it is embroidered with worsted in grey with modest quantity of rich deep red on the crimson order, that is really very beautiful in contrast and which makes rich effect. The gown is made with a straight plain bodice and the embroidery extends around the lower edge as well as upon the collar and cuffs: The skirt is straight and full and joined to the bodice by means of cord. On the skirt over the front, there are touches of the embroidery to be found. A more dressy model is made with a tunic skirt but still with the plain straight bodice that shows no curve from the arlnholc <. the lower edge. In this case, however, the trimming is jet bugles wticN .re arranged in straight rows, three for the nar:uwcr bands, five for the wider. tts bug!es alternating spaces. Tasy make

CONDEMNED NEGRO
 CLEARS A MYSTERY

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 1.-Houston Wagner, negro, under death sentence for the self-confessed murder of Miss Zaolo Cramers, a trained nurse, last March, today made written confcs- sion to the killing of w. H. Hum- phreys, an aged storekeeper at Lis bon. near here, early in April, accord ing to announcement of county off cials.
 Humphreys was beaten to death with a stick of wood, and his daugh- ter, Mrs. Bertha Strower, was beaten into insensibility.
 Wagner was charged by warrants with the second killing, after officers had found in his trunk articles identi- fled by Mrs. Strower as her property.
 NoS date has been set for Wagner's hanging for the Cramer murder.

Skirts for Fall are Still 'Wlde

turned back to form cuffs and there are hanging sash ends that also are liked with the silk.
 Linincs and facings of lighter color evidently will make a feature. They are in every way attractive and they greatly relieve the monotonyofthed dark blue which seems so universally ac- cepted for the street gowns under discussion. Paris, it is claimed, IS using a great deal of grey, too. Let us hope that grey will be generally in troduced on this side of the sea, bu. the advanced models, almost all ot them, are shown in blue. An at. tractivc gown that illustrates one o' the kinds of trimming that is to be much used is made of the inevitable French serge with a sailor collar ana deep hanging pockets at the sides The collar and the pockets arc en- riched with what at first glance appears to be fine braiding, but which is really machine stitching over a stampcl design. the machine throwing up fine chain stitch of the silk. Every kind of stitchery is being used and chain stitching is largely employed for braiding designs, but rows of stitching also are much liked. The simple ordinary machine stitching can be made to give really marvellous effects. \ notable gown and a pretty gown is made with full gathered skirt an;l with simple blouse that is finished with sash passed from the front to the back, there crossed and brought to the fronts again to be knottcd well down on the skirt. The skirt is finished with border formed by squares set q little more than their own breadth apart and which are embroidered with grey wool in simple over and over stitches, three rows of the stitching forming each square, and the ends ct the sash are similarly treated, while on the very edge of the skirt stitched beneath the hem, is narrow wool fringe.
 Jersey cloth is promised with ths coming of cool weather. Inc WOOL jersey cloth is very handsome, it is practical and it is admirably adapted to the street gowns under discussion An exceedingly handsome model which has just been received is of black

that he will not be able to make the trip. his condition of health being such that he is not able to stand the strenuous experiences tl at will be en- tailed upon him under the conditions which will prevail. ..
 The trustees decided to expend their every energy toward the establish ment of new industries here, the building of good roads throughout this section of the state, and the push ing of the better farming propa- ganda with unabated interest in the Pine Bluff territory. Already, Sec retary Bloom is in correspondence with heads of number of manufac- turing establishments, and he is in close touch with adjacent counties in the matter of good roads.
 Want Negro Fair Here.
 After the luncheon, the trustees at tended an assembly of negroes from several counties, at the Miller build ing, where arrangements were being discussed for the holding of an an nual fair by the negroes of the state MT. Blcom made talk to the negroes in the meeting, and formally extended an invitation for the fair to be helt each fall in Pine Bluff.
 It was the first meeting of the trustees since the advent of warn weather, and was largely attended. As usual it was held at the Hotel Pines where Nanagpr TrulOck had taken ad vantage O. the opportunity to extent two CT three pleasant little surprises il honor of the occasion.

CUBA TO HAVE NAVAL ACADEMY

Havana, Cuba, Sept. 1.-The repub- lie ot Cuba. which boasts navy os twenty ships, is about to have an up to-date naval academy for the traln- ing of her cadets in seamanshlp ana sea fighting. The new naval academy which is to be opened for the recep- ton of its first class next week. IS located at Nariel. a little seaport about 25 miles west of Havana where the bay is large enough for such pur- poses and where other shipping 's not sufficient to interfere.
