PROSECUTE PRICE BOOSTERS
WILSON ORDERS PROMPT AND
VIGOROUS COURT ACTION.
Remedial Laws to Permanently Better
Living Conditions Planned
BY High Officials.

Washington, Dec. IL. - vigorous
and prompt" prosecutions of any vio'
lations Of law by food spectators, in
all parts of the country, have been or.
dered by President Wilson.
The executive gave his order per-
sonalIy to United States Attorney An
derson of Boston at the conclusion Of
a conference with the chief investi-
gator at the White House. At the con-
ference Anderson and the President
went over plans for grand jury in
quiries, arranged by Anderson, into
the high cost of living.
Remedial Legislation Likely.
Remedial legislation to permanently
better living conditions in the United
States are likely as a result of the
facts laid before the President by An
derson. No steps will be taken, it was
made known, until a full examination
has been made into the data already
collected and yet to be obtained.
It was said by officials connected
with the investigation that their chief
hope for the ultimate lowering Of the
cost OF living lies In simplifying the
means Of transportation of foodstuffs,
the practice Of economy by the public,
increase Of production by farmers and
through ether such methods, rather
than by the prosecution Of lawbreak-
ers.
Plan Food and Coal Probe.
Indications are, however, that the
program for immediate action al
ready outlined will be followed with
little modification. This includes gen
eral investigation of the activities Of
alleged coal and food spectators and
closer inquiry into the relation of
the high cost Of living and the short
age of freight cars. Officials declined
to say whether other grand jury in
vestigations than those already an
nounced are contemplated.

NEW YORK, July 19-July lived
up to tradition this year, alsording US
an opportunity to wear our sheerest
lingerie frocks and our smartest
sports costumes during the holidays
The nearly resorts were crowded on
the Fourth, which CHANGED to be an
ideal day, with we'll dressed men and
women. A tiny flag, or bit Of red,
white and blue, was a detail of most
costumes; the men wore it on coat
lapel, in hat band, or protruding from
a pocket; the women pinned it dainti-
ly to the underbodice Of the sheer
blouse or frock, from where it's colors
shone out softly and effectively; or
tucked small silk flag into the
girdle of the white frock, or into the
pocket of the sports coat. Our patri-
tism was just little more pronounce
ed than usual this year, owing, no
doubt, to the rumors of war which

On the following day honoring Miss

hair, pongee or linen, with Norfolk
coats and pleated skirts, were favor
ed; and sweater coats, with self or
contrasting skirts, were also popular
The MILDLY blouse costumes were de-
veloped in the regulation white linen,
duck or galatea, with collar and cuffs
of blue and skirts of the new striped
cotton novelties, mohair, or plain
white linen. The modified Russian
and "slipon" blouses favored the white
and colored Japanese silks, pongee,
plain or figured, Shantung, or Geor-
gette, and were usually combined with
skirts of thin, light or dark silks. One
especially pretty costume developed in
plain natural colored pongee, trimmed
and combined with skirt of dark
blue foulard dotted with bright green,
is illustrated here. 1t is a slip-on
model with cool, becoming sleeves,
and an effective collar The skirt is
simple gathered design, short and
full, but unusually graceful.
The plain white Russian blouse cos
tune of Georgette crepe is particularly
effective and cool for these hot sum-
med days, and perfectly appropriate
for summer evening wear at roof gar
den, or summer show The simple
voiles, too, are being developed in
charming models with a touch of black
or bright color at girdle or throat.
The new voiles are washable in most
mixtures, and generally satisfactory.
Cool FrOcks for Street Wear.
Dark blue in taffeta, Georgette, serge
and satin is the leading color for city
street wear, in spite of its apparent
warmth. As most of these frocks, how
ever, are made with white or self-col-
ored transparent sleeves, they are in
reality quite as cool as a light colored
frock. Dark blue Georgette is often
used for the entire dress, collared and
cuffed with taffeta, and trimmed with
a band or two of the taffeta on the
skirt. The straight-lined, one-piece

CARL FREEMAN DIGMAN

Last Saturday morning the death
Angel came and took away the spirit
of little Carl Digman, who had been
sick only about one week.
Funeral services were held Sunday
at Talbot at o'clock in the after
noon; Rev. Crabtree in charge.
The following letter received bear
ing on this little boys life and death
is worthy of publication and is given
below:
Borned Dec. /, 1913, died July 10,
1916, Carl Freeman Digman, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Digman.
Little Carl was very sweet, inno-
cent and lovable. All who met the
child could not help loving and re-
membering him. He was not only
the pride of his parents, but the pride
of many who were near and knew
him well. This brings to our minds
very wildly the saying of former
generations that the old must die and
the young may die. So this little
flower of the family was taken away
for some cause. unknown to US. But
He who said, Suffer little children tc
come unto Me and forbid them not for
of such is lie kingdom of Heaven
needed dear little Carl with Him more
than we needed him here. So he cal
led him unto Himself, over in the
Glory Land. All that could be done
to relieve the sufferings of little Car
was done by kind hands and loving
hearts, but amid all this he was TAX
en- from US never to return.
Therefore we suggest of the bereav-
ed parents and loved ones to spenc
this earthly in the service of Him
"Who doeth all things WE'LL" so al
when this life is ended we can NEE
Carl where there is no Good Byes'
or "FarewelIs" said.
There We're far away from Carl,
Friends who wept to hear,
Of God calling him to Heaven,
The lovely boy so dear.
So we know that he is safe,
Up in the Glory land;
And if we follow Gods command,
Wen clasp Carts little hand.
Now let US see if we can't live,
According to Gods plan;
So. when this troubled life is past,
Well meet dear Carl and clasp hi
| hand.
God has taken Carl above,
Where no farewells are given;
Let US forsake our worldly love,
To meet dear Carl in Heaven.
Ii we knew why God took Carl,
We would not lament so;
But we know he's safe in Heaven.
There's where we all should go.
Now let us live in this world, friends
SO when our time shall come,
mat we may go to live with this
little one
Up in that Heavenly home.

plique design in blue velvet trimming

Sashes, which are feature of both
linen and serge frocks this summer,
offer a pleasing opportunity for intro
ducing bit of colored embroidery.
The sab on the serge frock is general
ly of black satin and the embroidery
is worked out in colored woods, sout-
ache braid, or heads. These motifs
may be as bizarre as desired and are
often repeated in the trimming of the
hat.
Variety in Tailored Hats
1t is no longer the price Of the hat
which counts, for there are some very
inexpensive hats being worn just now
by the best dressed women, but the
chic of its coloring and trimming
which is important. For instance the
soft, light weight Bankok, the Wen
Chow, and the chaid-cane hats are all
favored, finished with just touch of
colored wool, beads, or bright bit
of applique embroidery which har-
monies with suit or frock One of
the smartest hats seen this season
was dark tan Wen Chow with one
of the new quartered crowns in dark
purple satin, trimmed with motif
in delft blue and white Chinese en-
broidery. A purple satin handbag
with another blue and white motif
completed the effect which was charm
ing. This hat and bag were worn
with dainty little corded frock of
tan crepe de Chine, made with petit
icoat of cream batiste embroidery
which showed just bit below the

Summer Costumes Combine Comfort
and Charm.
There were not many among the
holiday crowds, however, who looked
uncomfortably "dressed-up;" Fashion
has at last managed to combine com
fort with grace and charm. The
sports costume predominated; various
styles of MILDLY and Russian blouses
were worn with trim fitting shirts;
chic suits of striped and plain mo-
