Activity of Russian Women.

AS Russia was the first country
where women were given control over
their ieherited property, and as Petro-
grad has had for some years the larg-
est medical college for women in Eu-
rope, it is not strange that women
have taken such an active part in the
military campaigns. In all the revolu-
tionary movements the women stu
dents have been more dangerous per-
haps, to the government, than the
men. 1t is believed that the majority
of the women amazOns are revolution
lists and that their military experience
was sought for the opportunity it gave
them to spread their doctrine.
If her heart is in the right place it
matters not whether woman is
younger or older than she looks.

Clothes of Many
ColOrs Are Offered

New York.-These are stirring times
In clothes. The manufacturers and
shops have prepared for rush sea-
son. 1t is their own expression that
they are actually scrambling for sup
ply to meet the demand.
The French gowns are here. New
American gowns are not only exploit
ed, but tremendously admired and
approved. The effects of those who
have taken the French silhouette and
built gowns in their own workrooms,
made of American materials, should
be commended in an entire chapter.
Some of the best houses in this
country have tried out experienced
designers and cOlorists in producing
several hundred gowns that are first
cousins to the French in that they
express the adopted Paris lines. Each
of the designers gives full tribute to
the fact that Paris has laid down the
laws for the season; but every de-
signer boasts with honest pride that
the clothes are the product of Ameri-
can study and workmanship.
In every case, the houses that
showed these American gowns called
upon their experienced French work
ers to produce them, and the only
ones that were successful were the
gowns that had been given into the
hands of those who had studied the
Paris methods with reverence and
earnestneSs. The result was that the
clientele of these houses saw extra
ordinarily good drapery, the combina-
ton of alluring colors and an excel
lence in tailored suits that we are led
to believe is purely American.
The CoIors That Prevail.
The silhouette has been established.
Every woman now knows that her
skirt is to be narrow and her coat
long or short, provided it clings to
the figure. She knows that top coats
are as important as froclis and that
some of the best tailors offer only
sport suits and top coats to wear over
thin One-piece gowns.

she has not exactly classified the va

that she must accept or avoid.
These are vastly important matters
to the average shopper. True, there
is a class of women who go to eX-
pensive houses that handle only a few
Of the most fashionable pieces of ap-
parel and offer nothing that can lead

class remains an exclusive one, and

Take colors. Who does not feel

there is scarcely any variance in the

front. 1t is against the accepted psy-
chology that the colors Of war should
be exploited while war is on.
1t is better to be sane than foolish
when one approaches the subject of
red in clothes. The scarlet danger
sign should be put over all the coun-
tiers where red fabrics are placed, and
ii should be worn by the mannequin
who parades in red gown. 1t Is
the color of conflict; it is not the color
of.peace. The woman who can wear
it well is thrice blessed, sartori-
ally speaking, and she is apart from
her neighbors, because she Is a rare
type.
None Of this applies to dark, red.
No danger sign is needed against the
rich wine surface that brings out
what is best in woman's complexion
and eyes. These well-known burgun-
dy shades are offered. They come IN
duvetyn, serge, satin, velvet and
and Rodier's weave of the so-called Bo-
livia cloth, which the American weav-
ers are initiating in successful way.
An Epidemic of Gray.
The world has gone on for CEN
fury or two feeling that gray is the
tone Of sadness and that its Quakerish
ugliness must be avoided. 1t has been
a difficult color for decades. Women
have adopted it only when the silver
sheen on its surface made it possible.
This season, however, all doubts
are dispersed by the superior tones
which the dyers have impaired to the
various fabrics grouped under the
elastic name of gray.
There is moonlight gray, which may
spell peace, but it is in close prox-
Unity to artillery gray, which stands
for death. There Is the gray of granite
and the gray of London smoke. There
is the gray Of a New England sea
mist, and there is the tone that one
gets from the glitter of cut steel.
These grays are not used alone this
season. They are combined with hori-
ION and Chinese blue, with jade and
Egyptian green, with incendie red,
Mandarin yellow and amethyst purple.
The silver gray tissues are loaded
with rhinestone, jet, cut steel and
periwinkle blue beads. An artistic
dressmaker can do anything she
pleases with gray today. She regards
it as a neutral foundation for what
ever color scheme, Florentine or
Futuristic, that she cares to work out
on it's surface.
Serge is good, If it is soft; other
wise, it should be barred. The funda-
mental thing is to get the fabric that
clings to the figure. All others must
be put on the opposite side of the
scale. Nothing must have any chance
to flare. Even though the hustle is
an accepted fashion-and by the way,
it is an American production that has
met with an unusual success-it must
be arranged in a soft fabric that
merely Grapes itself over the end of
the spine and does not show any am
bition to project itself into space.

Copenhagen. Oct. 20. - While
Emperor william and King Ferdin-

bodies of Mrs. Asura Anna Hawkins
and her seven-year-old child, were
found in about five feet of water in
the Red river Tuesday after search
lasting since Sunday.

became angry at the youngest
child, Ruth. and make remarks that
if the baby didn't keep still that it
might be thrown into the river,
prompted Coroner Louis Hintze, aft

certificate to the effect that the
mother committed suicide by throw
ing herself into the river with her
child, while insane.
Mrs. Hawkins was the wife of
Julius A. Hawkins, farmer living
about one mile south Of here. She
was married in 1909. Six months
after the child was born, she was
committed to the state hospital for
the insane at Fergus Falls and was
discharged from there after a con-
finement of six weeks.

to maintain bodily health and vigor.
The French and Belgians get con-

no meat except bacon.
The food administration announced
the weekly ration to the Germans,
stated in terms OF American house

peas and oatmeal; one-half pound of
meat; IL dominoes OF sugar; six

equal amount of other fats.
In northern France the weekly ra-

pounds of bread; one-fifth Of a peck
OF potatoes: one cupful of cereals:
IL Ia ounces Of bacon and lard and
ten dominoes of sugar. Here meat,
butter and margarine are all replac-
ed by bacon and lard.
The allowances Of flour and cereals
are slightly increased but the allow
ance of potatoes is less than half the
German ration. while the allowance
OF sugar also is reduced.
The ration for the civilian popula-

Liberty Loan First Primer; h.. S.
Questions and AnSwerS On The
Governments Big Bond DrtUe

Can I be sure that shall get it
back?
Surer than would be IL I invested
the same dollar in any other prop
erty in America.
Why?
Because the United States has the
power to levy unlimited taxes upon
all @e people, and upon all prop
erty over any number VI years to
pay its debts.
Did the United States ever refuse
to pay off one OF its bonds when 1t
became due?
1t never did.
Do United States bonds usually
sell for more than their face value?
After the Civil war no United
States government bonds ever sold
for less than par and they generally
sold far above the price paid for
them originally.
Did Civil war bonds go up when the
war ended?
They did.
Did other good securities like rail-
road stocks go down when the Civil
war was over?
They fell tremendously in the two
years following.
How much?
In the two years after Appomatox,
United States per cent bonds rose
points while such stocks as Read
ing. Pennsylvania and Lehigh rTavi-
CATION declined in the Philadelphia
market from SIS to $40 a share.
Can l borrow money from a bank
on a Liberty bond?
Any bank will consider a Liberty
bond a sounder security than any
mortgage or any city bond or any
railroad bond.
