COIorfuI Evening FrOCkS.

Prosperity Is translated into clothes
.n this seasons evening frocks. Satin,
crepe, brOcade, cloth Of gold and sill
yer, metallic laces, and, above all,
masses of net are used for making
them. There is no limit to the use of
color, which Is Of wonderful value in
them. Intricate combinations of color,
and the introduction Of unusual shades
bring the attention to a standstill In
many a gorgeous gown. In this par
ticular designers have found n new
world to conquer and they appear to
be enjoying the business In hand.
Leaving the matter Of color to those
who study 1t, the lady of fashion may
proceed to choose either straight
hanging or spreading skirts for her
evening frocks. II the slim silhouette
Is possible TO her she may choose It,
but the full skirt covers up defects of
too little or too much flesh. II makes
the waist Of the stout figure look small
er than II really is, and II oblterates
the angles Of the thin woman entirely.
The under slip Of silk and metallic
tissues is In high favor, along with
satin and taffeta, as a foundation for

as Puwnee rock, projecting as a rocky
promontory from the broad ridge that

Collars, Convertible and Otherwise.

The trend Of fashion In collars Is
toward the original and unusual, espe-
clally In separate collars TO be worn
for added warmth with suits or frocks.
Collars have taken their inspiration
from every period and cline, but only
hint of their origin is dlscernble In
most Of them, for about all coat and
separate collars are convertible. That
is, whatever the style Of the collar to
start with, It Is convertible Into muf-
fler-collar that swathes all of the
throat and part Of the head.
Costumers, having centered their at
tentlon on collars, have contrived some
ingenious novelties on blouses and
one-plece frocks, but these are another
story told In the dainty terms of chlf-
fon. crepe, georgette, and net. A

SALOON AND WoRKINeMAN.

Saloon politicians are the worst enc
mics of the laborlng mans rights.
They get plenty of money to buy free
beer and whisky to debauch the electo-
rate. They raise the cry of personal
liberty" and with solid saloon support,
the honest workingman has no show
against them.
The saloon fills warehouses; and PEN
ltentlarles with its victims, and their
labor is brought into competition with
free labor, to the injury thereof.
The saloon is labor's worst enemy.
The sooner working men realize the
fact, the better It will be for them.
The corrupt politician thrives through
the saloon and corrupt politicians are
bleeding this country to death, bring
ing 1t down to conditions of older and
less resourceful countries. The abol-
ishment of the saloons will not bring
labor Immediately all that labor ought
to have, but 1t will be the removing
Of the greatest obstacle to labor's
success.
The working people of the United
States earned more money each year
for the dlstlllery and brewery kings
Of America than was paid to all the
kings and emperors of Europe.
Working people are now asserting
their rights and are freeing themselves
from slavery to the inhuman liquor
traffic and the dominance Of an arls-
tocracy Of beer.-John +. Cunneen, La
Dor Leader, Chicago.

NEW ATHLETE.

NEW ATHLETE.
The following Is from an article In
Association Men, contributed by L. @.
Relmann, left tackle In the University
of Michigan:
The day Of the "bottle SCARED" hero
Is gone, and the new type Of athlete Is
taking his place. The first question
the student body asks of a football
hero is: "DO you drink?" His pop
Marity will hang upon his general
manner of living. All the best coaches
and trainers in the country absolute

ing the training season and keep
watchful eye on their men the year
round. The first infractiOn of the rule
against drinking is dealt with harsh.
ly by the coach and athletic directors.
The second means unqualified dis
missal from the squad. This has been
found the only way to deal with such
cases, for Coach "Hurry-Up' Yost says
he has no time to waste trying to
train drinker, and nothing tries
mans staying powers like football.
While the old type Of athlete is pass
ing out, the ''new athlete is coming
in rapidly and is alignlng himself in
the fight for dry territory. He is typ
ified by such men as Jack Watson,
captain of the Illinois football team
and president of the Y. NJ. G. A.;
"Cub" Buck, captain of the Wisconsin
football team and president Of the
Y. NJ. G. A.; Rutherford, the football
star and president of the University
of Nebraska Y. NJ. @. A.; Mike Dori-
zas, University of Pennsylvania, cham
pion strong man of the East and all
round athlete; Hobson Of Yale, Brick
ley of Harvard, and hundreds of the
foremost athletes of the United States.
Such men are forming line of offense
against booze and all forms of dlssipa-
ton, because they know that no man
can combine drink and good playing.
Eddie Collins, the White Sox star,
says: "You can't bat 300 If you bat
around all night" and one Of his ten
commandments to young athletes is:
Don't drink alcoholic drinks" Con-
