Philadelphia folk who buy their clothes
in Walnut street shops got some mighty
good ideas last night at the fashion show

citation gave in the ballroom of the Belle
vue-Stratford.
It was an occas,,n y superlatives The
citys most impor' trt olitical folk were
there; also the cit,'s wcalthiest the
proudest socially, too, and as for the ex-
hlbition itself the president Of the Firth
Avenue Business Mems Association of
New York said Philadelphia had it all
over his home town when 1t came to stag
ing fashion shows.
All the outfits that the so models wore.
and they included garments for all seasons
and dress occasions from the street suit
to the evening gown. were products of the
Walnut street shops. The models were as
pretty as the things they wore. and shared
with their clothes the applause which the
audience gave generally
Mr.. and Mrs Stotesbury were delighted
and the Mayor and Mrs. Smith too, felt
that they gave the guests n treat All of
the Mayors Cabinet was in his box, and
after the fashions had all been shown
Director Datesman became the model for
all eyes to follow His dancing was said
by those who know, to be simply superb.
The fashions were shown n groups of
styles. Nearly all of the first half cf the
evening was taken up with the showing
of street clothes. sports suits and SUCH
The evening gowns followed, but it seemed
as If the street display attracted more in
terest than any other part.
f. ]. Berlet president of the Wal
nut Street Business Association, opened
the show at . o'clock, speaking of the
aims and hopes of that organization. Rob
ert Greer Cooke, president of the Fifth
Avenue Business Mems Association. spoke
too, and compimented Mr.. Berlet and
the body which he leads.

tone. THE vibrations caused by the
wireless waves closed the contact between

Summers asked the lawyer for the
rough drawing of the destroyed west mill

1t might be of use to the Government
men, and spreading it out upon his desk,
took n black ebony ruler and drew two
straight lines, indicating the complete

MUD HOUSES IN ENGLAND

From the New York Sun.
 The possibility of using mud as build ing material and so solving the urgent problem of providing cheap country cot tages in the rural districts of EnglanS and housing accommodation in the areas where there has been sudden influx Of war workers is being made the subject of an interesting experiment of King s College for Women, University of Lon- don.
 Six mysterious looking walls have just been erected in the grounds at Camden Hills each wall being composed of diff ferent mixture of mud, with view to testing which proves most suitable to the English climate.
 In each case the earth has been sub jected to a different process of prepara- ton. In one case water glass has been added, in another soft soap, and to the earth and soft soap in another case lime has been added. A "grouting" of cement has been poured over the mud wall in yet another case, and there is one wall made Of earth alone.

x7o mo ono IN THIS RAINBOW

From the Philadelphia Public-Ledger
 President Grace of Bethlehem Steel announces that his company will spend s70. OO0, 900 for improvements to its properties. This is the largest appro- priation for such a purpose which any industrial concern has made for some years. The significance of this heavy outlay of capital at this time is that it is not made for the purpose of man ufacturing war munitions Even the most pronounced pessimist will agree that the war must have ended before Bethelehem will have been able to spend s70,00O,000 for extensions and betterments to its plant. It seems cer- tain. therefore, that MT. Schwab and his associates are not building anew for war, but for after the war. It must follow that these steel producers see post-bellum days of great promise. Since every business man is now busy asking himself and his neighbor what will happen when the war is over, MT. Schwab's enormous forward movement comes as a most hopeful assurance Of continued big trade. It Is the rainbow showing across black storm clouds.

A CRUEL QUERY

From the New York Sun
 A STUNNING question boomed out at A meeting of the arbitrators who . are sitting a dispute between eer- tain railroads and their telegraph oper- ators The chairman put it:
 Can an efficiency expert do justice to human being?'
 Nobody seems to have objected on the ground that the question was incompetent and irrelevant. Certainly 1t was unusual; ; many will consider 1t cruel as we'll
 Justice" and human being" are not fit to use in connection with efficiency experts. Those great men regard man. not as human being, but as something to be welded into a perfect efficient mass. Efficiency experts sometimes refer to the human factor or the "human equation" both to be dreaded, studied, bounced upon, quelled, punctured with decimal points and, at the last, indexed
 The human, when the expert takes hold of him. is like the surface of a windswept sea, full of crests and hollows and some times flecked with suspconaNe foam. These weaknesses are mapped out on wonderful charts, full of red ink waves that are known as peaks and valleys

BAD TEETH HAMPER SOLDIERS

From the New York Times.
 A proper condition of the teeth is q necessary preparation for war. according to Augustus s. Downing, assistant com missioner for higher education of the state department at Albany.
 Tt has been found" MT. Downing says. that many men in the English army have had to return from the front on account of their teeth. They are not able to masticate properly the army ra- tions. were not. properly nourished. and could not stand the strain of life in the trenches. They were returned to Eng. land, sent to dentists, and then returned to their regiments
 Stories were told at the recent con gress on school hygiene of the changes wrought in school children by dental treatment Stupid children becams bright; ugly children became pretty and disagreeable ones good tempered. "The cost of installing a school dental clinic is no more than the price of cheap motor car" pr. E. l.. Pettibone of Cleve- land said, "and it does not cost much more to run it. You will find most of the city officials have motor cars because it adds to their efficiency. dental clinic adds in greater proportion to the effi- ciency of a school

CHORAL EQUIVALENT, IN KANSAS

From the New York World.
 The shortage of harvest hands, which is annually due about this time, is now made acute in Kansas by the mobilza- tion of 2soO state troops. Not only does their absence deprive the farmers of trained harvesters, but the supply of idle labor ordinarily available is lacking be- cause it is employed filling the jobs left by the militiamen.
 Thus. as respects gathering the crops, Kansas is virtually in state of war. and the same conditions must prevail throughout the wheat belt It is to a certain extent in the predicament of Flu rope in 1914 How the farm women of France and the exempt male population rallied to the rescue of the vintage is fresh in mind. And in England since the outbreak of the war 5000 women part the deficiency of male workers.
 The farmers thus meet an emergency which is not theirs alone but the coun- try's and the worlds. They murt get in their wheat to feed the nation. and with eastern labor now earning record wages in munitions factories and mills the problem becomes all the more diff hcult. When preparedness is brought to a fine point. provision must be made for such an urgent situation. There will be volunteers for agricultural as we'll as for military service.
 Progress must be made in public eff cency and in the economical utilization of the countrys labor resources before that ideal Is realized. An important thing is to have the idea recognized that to work in the wheat fields under such conditions is national service, such as William James would have called q
 moral equivalent for war;

The "Hyphen. Returns

''Well, my brother John got back from the coast the other day." remarked Fred Wiegand of the Tutwiler orchestra He states that with the exception of the long delay occasioned by high water while passing through Georgia and part of Ala bama he had quite an enjoyable trip. It required more than "A hours, however. to go from Birmingham to Savannah be- cause of the high water, which threat ened to flood the tracks in many places.
 'The only disappointment. I believe, that my brother feels is that the Deutschland did not make port at Tybee instead of at Baltimore. A number of his friends at the hotel were under the impression that the visit of the hyphen' orchestra leader to the Atlantic coast was in some way connected with the arrival of the Kaiser's latest supersub- marine to this country. This undersea vessel is apparently of harmless nature and any jests at the expense of my brother and his supposed 'hyphen con- nections are taken likewise to be with out hurt or sting.'
