SILK IS REPLACED
BY WOODEN JERSEY

gowns and suits of it are sold by the
American dressmakers at absurdly low
prices, as if they knew that its doom
was sealed.
Beige, biscuit, string color and three
tones of gray rule in the one-piece
wooden jersey frOcks, but dark blue,
dull red and horizon blue are coming
strongly into favor. These frocks are
usually made in one piece, and all the
varieties of drapery and plating and
barreling that prevail in the other
frOcks are used in the jersey.

COATS GIVE WAY TO CAPES
Women Are Not Expected to Accept
Argument That They Should Show
Patriotism by Buying No
New Clothes.

New York.-Despite the persuasion,
pleading and argument of the hundreds
of women who have organized them
selves for preparedness to the effect
that women do not buy any more
clothes, but give this money to nation
al defense, the process of arranging
new apparel to meet the season goes
steadily on.
Surely, the appeal of these women
must be based on ignorance of con-
ditions, for they have the welfare of
humanity in their hearts or they
would not organize into bands for civic
help; but to plead that no wOmah
should buy new clothes and that she
should frown upon the pegtop and the
melon skirt because they are new
fashions and demand the purchasing
Of new clothes, is to argue in a way
that would take the very food out of
the mouths Of millions of workers.
These women argue that we should
follow the example of France, Eng
land and Germany and that our wom-
en- should make a sacrifice of clothes
in order to show their national spirit.
But why? The resources of France,
Germany and England were needed for
war, which was sprung upon them
without any warning and found them
unprepared financially. This isn't a
fgment of the imagination, but the
statement of financierS and captains Of
industry.
Women viii Buy Clothes.
However, it takes very little argu.
ment to persuade women that their
national spirit should be shown in
spending their money on clothes, if
they have it to spend. Everybody is
benefited all down the line, to the
little cash girl six years old in the
slums of the city, whose money is
needed to give more bread to her fam
lily. Therefore, accepting the fact that
new fashions will be as popular as
ever and that new clothes will spring
up afreSh as the leaves on the trees
and the grass on the ground, it is best
to content ourselves with telling what
it is wise to buy, rather than arguing
for and against buying.
A summary of what is accepted may
be wise at this time. To begin with

 ATHLETICS KEEP SOLDIERS FIT

 .'When the athlete has gone to the front his place in athletic ranks should be immediately filled. Sport is the founda ton for health, and too much emphasis cannot be laid upon its ben paramount inrportanc n keeping the soldier fit. and the is true of the
 man who must be prepared to become a potential soldier.
 Athletics provides the very best means of taking. a mans mind off his work, be it building ships, adding fig
 ures of killing Germans. They afford the complete relaxation from mental strain by substituting temporarily a different kind of mental strain and a varied muscular change. .s
 The So1dierly, qualities developed are many.

BASEBALL IN WAR.
civi, War Made It National Sport Will Present Struggle Make It the International Gar1e.

By F. c. Lane. Editor, Baseball Magazine.
 We wonder if you realize that base ball thrives on war!
 Our Civil war made baseball Ameri-
 ca'S nAtionai sport. The soldiers played baseball in their leisure hours
 and when they disbanded they carried home with them lasting love for the
 game.
 Tine present world conflict in the same way is making rhe international game.
 With the first signs of spring the crack of the -bat will he heard liter ally around the worId-in every allied camp.
 Baseball during our first year in the war gave the American people their chief diversion and recreation--the season winding up in a grand climax with record-breaking worlds series crowds Washington has warned us that thc 1918 war strain will be more severe than any other yea-rega rdless of the wars duration.
 Baseball will do its bit at this criti- cal time, not as a luxury. but as a necessity. Baseball will furnish re- lief from the tense mental strain which awaits casualty lists. Baseball will give needed diversion to the soldier in the trenches, to the drafted men in the training camps, to the laborer and the artisan and the business man act as a national escape valve for feelings too strong to be suppressed. Baseball is as necessary fn time of war as ammunition or khaki uniforms. From thoughts of bursting shells and blood and carnage the great American
 public turns with . sense of relief to the baseball diamond with its peacc and health and sanity. In like man ner the great American public, wearied and sufefted with war news, turns from sensational headlines to

Until the spring of 1887 Wallace had never played third base, but he soon demoAs strated his ability in that position. and in a short time was ranked by many critics as being the best third baseman in the business, with Jimmy Collins of Boston. When the Cleveland team was transferred to St. Louis he went with it, and in 1902 he went over to the then new St Louis American league club. where, placed at ehortstop. he made as great a reputation as he had previously made as a third base man.

CARE OF HORSES
 DURING COLD WEATHER
Local Agent For Humane Society Re- ceives Instructions From Society Hearquarters.

Charles H. Lamb, local agent Of the State Humane Society, has received the following letter from the head . quarters of the society in Hartford relative to the care of horses in cold weather:
 Charles 1T. Lamb, V. S., Agent
 Norwich, Conn.
 Dear Sir: There are doubtless some horses or other farm animals in your community that will suffer during the coming winter unless preventive meas ures are taken. The high cost of grain has placed a heavy financial burden upon all owners of such anil nnalz- Some fodder has been dam aged or lost by early froStS- War measures, also, have made the con servation of food matter an import ant one. While intelligent and ex- perienced farmers will appreciate these conditions and be able to solve their problems wisely, are there not others In yoI1r community who need and will welcome neighborly assistance and advice, or to whom timely warning should be given? Attempts to win ter more stock than an owner can feed properly is not economical ana may result in a half starved herd to- ward spring. It is nst wise to win ter ahorse which has outlived it's use fulness, or one which offers no prom ise of service another season. The money would be better expended in keeping vo-lnr stock. Moreover. it is economical well as humane to pro- vide comic. t. ble quarters for all farm animals during the ccld weather If they are well housed they will thrive better on the feed they receive. The conditions are such that a general ef- fort should be made throughout the state to anticipate the exigencies of the winter in providing for all ami nals. We earnestly request you, as an agent of this society, to give this mat ter your attention and use the in- huence of your office in your commit nifty to prevent waste and unneces- sary suffering. If you have an op- portunity to bring this matter to pub lie notice through your local newspa- pers or through any granges in your district we approve such action. Any particular case in which the society's s general agents can be of assistance should fe reported to the Home Office. Hartford, or to the Branch Office, 129 Church street, New Haven, Conn.
