The new skirts are more exacting
than ever as regards precision In cut
ting. They are full at the bottom, but
because Of the inclination to define the
hip and waist-lines there must not be
any suggestion of sagging or stretch-
ing, either of which easily could be the
outcome of Indifferent cutting. The
material is folded, of course, that the
two parts of each section will be cut
at the same time Only the front gore,
however, is placed on a lengthwlse fold
OF the goods. The ploated section,
which is laid into position first, is on
lengthwisc thread of the material.
To the right of this the back gore is
placed, then the front gore, mention Of
which already has boen made.
There was never a season when the
co,ors for street wear We're SO limited
as this Fall. but the difference is mora
than adjusted in the variety Of ma
terials In which smart skirts and cos
tunes can be made. Combinations OF
contrasting fabrics are in excellent
vogue. For instance. the skirt illus
trated may be in gabardine. with side
panels OF heavy chiffon cloth. Velvet
and satin are also used with great
success.

A man sentenced to the fedora

asked why sentence should not b,

IF there is any way that
could be sentenced to work twelve
hours a day at hard labor, and the
profits divided up among my fam

tremely grateful. In a fortnight
my wife, baby and mother will be

Tins Is a: u, sEal reurnst for =
condemned man to make. but pc
c'lllarly reasonable, both from his
point of view and that of the
state. Why "punish" a man by
making him unproductive? Es-
peclalIy as the usual caESe of i'm
prlSOnment is unproductivenesse
The man who is spending his
days at producing something of
value to his, feIlowmen, whether
1t is potatoes or bitches collar
buttons or life-insurance or the
efficient and courteous conducting
OF street car-that man doesn t
get sentenced to prison terms. lie
may spend few days in Jail on
trivial charge, but he is not a
criminal.
1t Is the man who does not pro-
duce-who preys upon his fellow
men instead of serving them
who fills our penitentiaries.
And then we punish him for his
unproductiveness by making him
more unproductive still. Could
anything be more absurd? And
we make the producer pay his ex-
penses!
Obviously, the way to handle
the nOn-producer would he TO put
him to work. If he knows no
trade he should be taught one
not single makeshift process,
but trade at which he can find
work upon his release. His keep
should be deducted from his
wages and the rest used for those
dependent upon him, or if he is
alone, put in bark to give him
q start when he is out.

border national guards stationed here
may have to submit to q more severe
medical test. The prospects are that
this would deplete the ranks. Pre-
cautions are necessary to weed out

Several guardsmen affected by the
heat during hikes dropped in their
tracks and were brought back to
camp in automobiles. Their condition
is not serious. Humidity from recent
rains and a temperature of SO de-
grees made the weather oppressive.
Plans are being made for long stay
by the national guardsmen. wooden
flooring is being constructed in the
tents and the men are building min1a-

keep out water during heavy rains
