Germans Retreat Hastily.

London.-Another daylight raid,
carried out over the coast of Eng

repulse of about 20 German airplanes

bombs over Felixstowe and Harwich,
killing IL persons and injuring 26. An
alarm was sounded in London, but
before the Germans could reach any
point near the city they were attack
ed heavily by defending squadrons
of aircraft, which speedily caused
them to change their minds and make
hasty retreat.

to come the prices of fabrics would
greatly increase, you might excuse
yourself for boarding these textiles on
the ground that you were doing so for
your own profit but wartime prices
are always phenomenally high and
this winter and seasons following if
the war continues these odds and
ends of material will be worth more
than they ever viii be again, so COM
mon sense at least ought to prompt
you to get out your piece box and
your rag bag and to open up the old
trunks and then, burying tender as
ISOLATION that make you for some rea-
son hold on to these pieces, set about
to dispose of them.
Often you will find a half yard or
quarter of yard of cotton material
saved, perhaps. from a wash fabric
for purposes of mending. Remember
that with the extra calls that are COM
ing to charitably inclined people the
day nurseries and childrens homes are
in dire need of everything that makes
life possible for youngsters. If from
these pieces you can put together d
tiny trock, wee petticoat or under
bodice, you will have done something
distinctly worth while. If you have
no children to sew for. you will be
amazed to see how little material is
needed for a twO-year-old's frock
Buy paper pattern of one and see
how many garments you can make
pique or embroidered swiss will do for
tiny cuffs and collars, and if your
pieces of white material are too small
to make a single garment, there is
no very good reason why two perfectly
good kinds of white material could
not be combined in the same under

better than none at all If you don't
like the idea of undertaking this deed
of mercy yourself, give a novel kind
of party and ask your friends to bring
their piece boxes to your house some
afternoon and then as a group put the

for the lack of these wee garments,

CITY SAVES $500, STEEL
Government Prices Cut Down Cost
New Comfort Station.

Government regulation of steel
prices helped to save the city more
than $500, according to bids on the
public comfort station to be built at
Eighth and Kansas avenue. The con-
tract prices offered on the building
were more than $500 below the esti-
mate made by the city engineer, based
on last months steel prices
The contract for the new building
was let this morning to the Douglas
Building company. whose bid was
$500 for the building complete. Ac-
cording to Representatives of the COM
pany it was the steel prices that
helped in making the construction
cost so low.
Building on the comfort station, ac-
cording to W. L. Porter. will start
within the next two weeks, and the
structure will be completed within
sixty days. The building will be en-
tirely below the street level with the
exception of an eight-foot tower,
which will stand on the curb line. The
building will be finished with white
enameled brick and floored with
white tile. The approaches to the
rooms will be encased in an orna-
mental iron railing. The stairs. ac-
cording to w. L. Porter, will be made
of glazed brick.
The old transfer station will be
moved to City park, where it will be
used for a concession stand. The old
frame building was presented to the
city by the Topeka Railway company.
Plans for the comfort station were
made by Charles D. Cuthbert. archi-

MINERS MAKE A KICK
They Want Special Legislature to Re
peal Poll Tax Law.

Crawford county miners today APP
peaIed to Governor Capper to call a
special session of the state legisla-
ture to repeal the poll tax law. Sew
eral hundred men in the southeast
ern Kansas mining district appealed
to the governor in petitions received
in Topeka today
The poll tax law as passed by the
1917 legislature does not appeal to the
miners. They object to the payment
of the So as provided under the law
and have asked the governor to call
the legislature in special session in
order to repeal the act. Some months
ago the miners in the Crawford county
district urged Governor Capper to ar
range for special dispensations eX-
empting them from provisions of the
bone dry law. They urged that they
could not and would not work if de-
MED use of beer in their homes.
Strikes were threatened and it was re-
ported that number of miners in the
district left the state. Now a special
session is asked to wipe out the poll
eax measure.

New York, Oct 4.-The world of
costumery is not going to accept the
straight silhouette without a strug-
gle. 1t may be urged upon reluctant
women in the name of conservation
of fabric 1t may be adopted by the
majority of dressmakers because it is
a somersault from what has been
worm and, therefore. provides per-
suasion to women to buy new clothes,
but neither the dressmakers nor the
women will give themselves over,
whole heartedly. to this pencil-like
and which hundreds of women de-
light in.
The dressmakers here say that it
would be an unusually heavy blow to
business if one silhouette were adopt
ed and all others shelved. First, it
is not possible to suit all women with
a narrow skirt, a slim, skeleton coat
and a high collar. If every gown
were made in the same way and if
every coat suit were cut on the same
lines, buying would cease, not so
much thru measures of economy or
desire, but thru irritation and discon-
tent.
A Hint of Vatican.
To offset the straight and narrow
path that the majority of the new
suits and frocks take, is gown
which is being exploited on both sides
of the Atlantic and which has more
than a hint of Vatican, of the operas
of Mozart. of painted fans and Ores
den figures
In a dinner gown which has just
been projected into the fashionable
world, one gets a suggestion of the
costumes made for Figaro, in the
looping of soft material that covers
the end of the spine and the slope of
the hips.
There is another frock of more
sober demeanor and intended for
more active service, which has a sug-
gestion of a broad box, starting be-
tween the shoulder blades and drop
ping forward over the hips in rip
ping drapery.
There are an extraordinary number
