vlsed for her winter suit is that she
hates velour and never found it salts

stage, which was most imperfect.
Since then the greatest weavers
have given the best of their time and
thought to developing it into m
thing satisfying, and they have sue
ceeded. The modern version Of this
old fabric is good to look at and good
to wear, but 1t is costly. Many e a
sons contribute to that fact. The price

the difficulty of procuring a large

The cOlorings in velour r most

heart of the dyer. Evidently, there is
a plentiful supply of dyeing matter

but in France, for the season will be

There is one tailored suit called
Charles the Sixth that is built Of a
wonderful shade of gray in velour, in
which the half-long chemlse coat is
girdled up below the hips in a medieval
manner that is new to US and very
interesting. 1t presents a new treat

FASTER THAN TRAIN
SPEED OF AUTOMOBILE TO OUT
DO THAT OF LOCOMOTIVE.
Experts Believe Run From San Fran
cisco to New York viii Be Done
Under Five Days.

What. is the best possible time be
tween coast and coast travelling east
ward or travelling westward? The re-
cent performance of a drive in placing
a double transcOntinental starting at
San Francisco and ending at San Fran
cisco inside Of II days, has brought
about speculation from one end of
America to the other. The chances
seem good for a record which will
eclipse the best train time from one
coast to the other in either or both
directions.
In other words, it is possible today,
in the opinion Of critics, to take a
bag Of mail from the postmaster at
San Francisco and to start simulta-
neously another bag by regular mail
route for New York, and then have
the auto mail route covered in less
time than the railroads car do now
adays.
Fred e. MoskOvics of Indianapolis,
who studied the transcontinental
speed possibilities for the automobile
very carefully, believes firmly that
five days for the journey from one
coast to the other will be lowered.
When Sam Stevens, the Rome, N. Y,
iron millionaire, cut the record of z
days II hours and 81 minutes to 8
days IS hours and 30 minutes, only to
have Ralph milford, Patterson and
Vincent lower this time to 8 days 3
hours and 81 minutes, MOskovics
promptly said that the run would be
made in under five days.
Some of the car which have been
engaged In this transcOntinental rec
ord work have been far ahead of a
tive-day schedule for part of the dis
lance, but have been interfered with
by cloudburts or other unfortunate
circumstances which did not enter
into the calculations. 1t would seem
therefore that II but remained for one
car to start under proper direction
and proper preparation and with per
feet conditions to bring the record
down to perhaps four and a half days
BY taking the best times Of the cars
over certain stretches, travelling east
or travelling west, IL is shown that the
speed of four and a half days is moi
out of the question. To do such {
performance there remains to be car
ried out prior to the start a mos
elaborate system from one coast to the
other to avoid every possible della!
and also a different arrangement FOL
driving.

chin and falls to the ankles. 1t usual
ly closes all the way down the front,
and the models that don't are not found
convenient.
Not only do they demand a skirt
beneath that harmOnizes in color If not
in fabric, but their hens fly out with
the wind in an exasperating way that
leaves ones body exposed to the ele.
ments from feet to waist. Nothing
satisfying about that, is there?
The designers have lavished orig.
lnality upon this garment, and possibly
that is why women have been per
suaded into often buying them instead
of the coat suit. Put the mind upon
this top coat. Cheruit invented it and
our dressmakers are swiftly engaged
in copying 1t. It is Of tomato red
velour. There is a long vest of kOllnskl
in the natural yellow tone. The folds
VI the velour fall at the back like a
cape worn by the men in the fifteenth
century. The fullness over the shout
der falls over the arms to the elbow
and there is placed the armhole into
which is put a tight sleeve that ex'
tends well over the wrist. At each
side of the cape is a slit for the hands
to reach a pocket in the fur vest, anC
by Keeping the hands in these pockets
most of the time the cape is turned
into a snug coat.

Authority Is Of Opinion That the
Country Has Too Much Au-
tOmobiIe Law.
SAYS PUBLIC is NEGLIGENT
Refusal Of Pedestrians to Observe the
Simplest Rules Of Personal Safety
Responsible for Immense Ma
jority Of Accidents on
Highways.

"We nov have too much automobile
law. The next trend must be toward
the elimination of all unnecessary re-
quirements, and the enactment of a
few simple rules and regulations hat
may be easily understood, easily en-
forced, and. as nearly as possible, uni
versally observed. Such an elimina-
ton would In many instances do AWAY
with about three-fOurths Of our pres
emf laws"
II. NJ. Rowe of the American Auto
mobile association, thus set forth the
present problem Of the motor car own
er. Continuing, he says:
1T is needless to say that the motor
lists themselves deplore most keenly
the steadily-increasing number of ac-
cidents and fatalities Occasioned by
the use of the motor car, but the peO-
pie have not yet come to fully realize
that these accidents are the result of
negligence on the part of the public to
observe the simplest rules of personal
safety, rather than neglect on the part
OF the motorist. The utter disregard
OF his personal safety shown by the
average individual when occupying the
public highways is appalling.
ut is a matter of %undisputed record
that between 90 and 90 per cent of all
the accidents that occur result from
the neglect of the individual pedestri-
an, and less than 8 per cent are caused
by the direct fault of the mOtOrist or
the reckless use Of the motor car. Ly-
ing between these figures somewhere
are from 3 to 5 per cent of the acct
dents where both parties are respon.
sible.
simple as 1t may seem, a set OF
traffic rules and regulations that viii
work Out In practice are not easy tC
prepare. II follows that rules and reg
ulatlons which will work out are thos,
that will permit vehicles and indlvid
uals to move with the largest degreI
OF freedom without coming In cOntac
with each other. Through cur legis
lative board we have set about cod
flying such a practical set of tratfi,
rules hat may be easily understood
and enforced. We are hopeful tina
they will be generally adopted. o
course, there will be notifications ii
different instances, and, of curse
they Will be attended by varying de
grees of success in their enforcement
and In promoting the purpose Of thei
enactment but we believe that a sub
stantlal uniformity can be establishes
throughout the country"

Repalrs Won't Stick.

Trouble is often experienced In get
ting the tread to stick on small repairs.
This might be due to any n OF sew
eral reasons, the most common of
which is applying cement over wet
fabric. The moisture in the fabric,
even II very slight, will blow the tread
loose from the fabric. Another com
mon cause for loose treads is the fail
ure to roughen up the old carcass suf-
hciently. In this Ease the cement will
not hold properly and after a few
miles of running the repair will sepa-
rate. 1t is also well TO make sure that
proper pressure is being applied to the
repair when It Is curing.

INDOOR GOWNS IN PROPULSION

rapidly they are picked up by the more
exclusive class of women, showing, one
thinks, that the trend Of fashion may
turn this way before the New Year.
These jackets are not after the Elton
model. nor do they have the least re-
lationship with the army jacket of the
British soldiers. They have a tend
ency to become basques under the
slightest persuasion. The shoulders
are fitted to the figure, there are darts
in front. the fastening is negligible,
with n button at one shoulder and an
other at the waist. In order that a
resemblance to a basque should be
further extended, the darts pinch in
whatever fullness might occur at the
waistline, and the peplum is cut in
points.
This is the idea of Nine. Paquin, and
there are several variations Of 1t. 1t
is quite natural that we should be a
bit weary of the blouse of the peasant
that has been with us for over three
years, and as skirts are definitely long
err, it is well to regard this shortening
of the jacket as an augury of the lear
future.
Glory Of the Top Coat.
So much for what has developed new
in the matter of the most substantial
garment Of our winter outfit, the cos
tune to which the great majority pin
their faith and on which they place
the larger part of their dress allow
ance. AS to the top coat, the garment
that has seemingly reached it's apex
this season, there is no method by
which it's variety could be boxed into
a small space of written matter.
In colorlng, to begin with, it is al
most excite as the evening gowns
which have borrowed dyes from the
palettes of the fifteenth-century paint
ers. There is no hint of the futurist
school in these cOlors. We are not
listening to a call from the years to
come; but hardening to the far call of
the past, a seemingly fit thing to do
in an epoch which has been turned
backward five centuries in it's method
of DISCRIMINATING mankind.
Garments That EnVelop.
The top coat covers all. 1t has no
half measures this season. The only
necessity for wearing a frock beneath
1t is that you may wish to take it off
in a public place. 1t reaches to the

SHEPPARD BOOSTING
FOR CONVENTION Of
STATE TEACHERS

DeLand, Fla, Dec IL, 1916.
Editor Daily News: | note with
a great pleasure that Daytona will ex-
tend to the Florida Educational asso-
citation an invitation to hold it's 1917
convention in that city. For two or
three years l have wanted to invite
the association to VOlusia county, but
fearing that the people of either De-
Land or DaytOna might consider me
too assuming, and that perhaps the
time then was a little inoppOrtune,
have never done SO. However, since
DaytOna has taken the initiative |
want the people to know that l am
doing everything l possibly can to
assist them in landing the next meet
ing.
/ am personally acquainted with
every county superintendent in Flor
ida and many teachers. l am at pres
ent carrying on campaign by mail
on behalf of DaytOna, and shall con-
tinue to do SO until the time the as
sociation meets in Arcadia. l am in
receipt of several very encouraging
letters from leading educators over
the state. With the proper co-Opera-
ton of the several organizations in
DaytOna, feel sure the association
can be landed for next year.
Permit me to suggest to the various
organizations of Daytona that each
elect at least one representative who
will attend the convention for not
less than two days prior to the bus
mess meeting. Ordinarily the place
of the next convention is settled even
before the business meeting is held.
as each town wanting the convention
usually has a line up.
Representatives sent by these or
CARNATIONS to this convention will be
seated as regular members Of the
Florida Educational association, upon
the payment of fee of $1.00. They
may then have a vote in the conven-
ton.
Permit me to suggest that the
names of those representatives be
given to me at least ten days prior to
the date OF the convention, Deem
Der 9th. in order that | may have
the same entered upon the roll. There
will then be no question as to seat
| ing the representatives after the fee
| of $1.OO has been paid.
In conclusion allow me to thank
the people of Daytona for their inter
est in this matter. and to assure them
| that the board of education and the
county superintendent will do every
thing possible to assist in, not only
| bringing the association to Daytona
but also in entertaining it and making
/ the session a grand success.
! Yours very truly.
