To keep apace with Fashion, one
must be ever on the alert in these days
when there is constantly something
new appearing. We do not look for
any change in the silhouette, for that
has been finally settled, at least for
the coming season, but there are count
less important minor details always
turning up which make the game of
keeping up with the mode a very in
teresting one. Almost each day some
thing new is brought to the attention;
a certain material suddenly rises into
prominence "a new way of draping a
skirt is devised, and sundry novel ac-
cessories appear upon the scenes and
are quickly taken up with enthusiasm.
In opposition to the frocks that are
absolutely straight in line, there are
many ways Of draping skirts to give
that slight pufiness about the hips
which is now one Of the accepted
modes in the dressier type Of frock
for afternoon and evening wear. One
Of the latest ways is by gathering the
straight lower section Of skirt to a
yoke, and leaving the sides free to
form looped draperies which fall very
gracefully into position when the soft
pliable materials are used. An illus
tration Of this charming style is
shown in the sketch. The dress is OF
pongee trimmed with narrow bands Of
ribbon. The waist Of this costume is
made with kimono sleeves of the loose
baggy type, the kind that were in
fashion some time ago. The unusual
V-shaped collar and faring cuffs add
the note of distinction which all such
simple styles require.
Sometimes long, straight tunics OF
apron effects take the place Of draper.

Draped Styles are Again in Vogue
for the bead work, which is strongly
in evidence.
Ginghams for Summer Suits and
Dresses
Bright, colored ginghams in very
fine qualities have risen into prom
inence and are used in fashioning not
only separate blouses and skirts, but
also entire summer dresses and suits.
In making suits, the latest fad has
been to combine gingham with pongee
and other sports silks. A skirt Of
gingham is used with silk coat which
has the collar and cuffs, and some
times, pockets, of gingham. A sur
prising combination, but distinctly et-
fective when one gets used to the ideal
In other instances, plaid and plain
ginghams are used to make the pop0-
lar MILDLY dresses with slip-ovee-
blouses and pleated skirts. With the
plaid used for the skirt and to trim
the blouse, a dress Of this kind is ex-
ceedingly attractive for summer wear.
Ginghams are crisp and cool and may
always be kept looking fresh.
The separate skirt of plaid or
checked gingham, to wear with white
voile and batiste waists, is also q
pleasing novelty for summer. The
skirts are sometimes made with belts
of silk in some bright color matching
one of the colors in the plaid or stripes
as the case may be. Smart gingham
blouses are trimmed with white pique
collars and cuffs, and buttonholes
bound with the pique.
The new blouses that look like coats
keep rising in popularity. They are
especially smart in costumes Of jersey
cloth. A very attractive model in
plain and checked jersey is shown in
the sketch. and with it is worn one
of the fancy girdles that are all the
rage just now. These new girdles are

give a neat, tailored finish. Detach-
able collars Of blue and white striped
cottons on dark blue serge and twill

Devices are legion for cleaning the
windshield of rain, mist or snow.
A good one recently advertised has
the advantages of cleaning an unus-
ually large section of the glass at one
sweep of the hand, and of being quick
ly and easily removed from its place
on the windshield when not needed.
The cleaner is of steel, 7h inches
high, with an inserted strip of rub
Der to provide the squeegee surface.
1t costs 50.
A novel power driven tire pump is
now offered by a Detroit concern. In
stead of requiring elaborate installa-
ton under the hood it is attached to
the end of the crankshaft from the
outside, through the opening ordinarily
used for the starting crank, and is op-
ened chiefly by power from the shaft.
1t slips on and off quickly without
the use of tools, and is kept in place
only when actually in use.
For use in various emergencies an
Ohio manufacturer has devised .
spotlight whose white ray may, at the
touch Of a button, be changed to one
of brilliant red. 1t is suggested that
the red beam be flashed for safety
when n is stopping at the roadside
for repairs, that it be thrown to the
right or left to indicate turns or to
the rear as preparation for a stop
that it be used as a call for help or a
warning in leaving a garage, and sc
on. The devise has the features Of
the ordinary spotlight, including 9
mirror which may be adjusted to give
rear vision regardless of the position
/ of the searchlight.

IN DEsERTER CLASS SOON
Reward Of $50 Will Be Offered for
Each Who Persists in
Evasion

WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 5. -
A last warning was issued yesterday
to drafted men who have failed to an
swer the call to the colors. The Gov
eminent gave notice that those who
have failed to report will be given an
opportunity to escape punishment i
they join the colors now and explain
their previous failure to do SO, If
they show a willful disposition to
evade service they will be charged
with desertion and every effort will
be made to apprehend and punish
them.
Drafted men failing to report now
will be promptly advertised as de-
serters and a reward of $50 offered
for their apprehension. Division
commanders, however, have been di-
rected to question personally such
men before trial is ordered, and cs-
tablish whether the soldier wilfully
sought to evade military service.
Many men who fail to appear, Wal
Department officials believe, hav;
legitimate excuses, while others are
merely careless. For that reason
leniency will be shown except where
wilful intent to evade service il
clear.
Men tried and found guilty as de.
serters will not be permitted to es,
cape their duty by dishonorable dis
charge.
"The policy of the Department will
be-" it was announced, "to punisl
them and retain them in the ser
vice."
Where no intent to desert is shown
Gbsentees on their apprehension vii

FOR PETER
MOUW At THE R|NGO

who raised Gertsdale Jones, the
great Poland China sire, bought re-
Gently by E. H. Carter, William Van
Deventer and Mrs. Lucy Van Devon
ter, Of this city, for $1,000, was the
guest Of the new owners of the great
hog at an informal banquet given in
the Ringo Hotel Friday evening.
President j. W. Million, of Hardin
College, was postmaster and in his
usual graceful style and with appro-
pirate remarks introduced the visitor
to the guests. The following made
short talks congratulating Mr.. Mouw
on his success and the purchasers of
the great sire for their vision and
what they were doing for Audrain
County and Missouri: Mayor j. F.
Harrison, Herbert Pryor, E. Y. Bur-
ton, Mitchell White, c.. F. Clark,
John T. Stewart and Mr.. Mouw.
Mr.. Clark told of the horse indus
try's early day in this county and the
manner in which the men in this Sec
ton bought the best Kentucky could
raise in their successful move to make
this the horse center of the world.
He said the same method would no
doubt be followed now in the swine
raising field and the same results
could be expected especially when we
had such a splendid beginning.
Mr.. Mouw spoke upon his expert
ence in the hog industry and stated
that in the 35 years he had been in
the business he had never seen a hog
that approached SO closely the per-
feet type as Gertsdale Jones. He
bought this sire at l year for $400.
Others agreed with Mr.. Mouw in
what ne had to say concerning the
quality of the great animal.
Those who attended the banquet
were E. R. Locke, Nelson Carter

For Gasoline Stacker

There are many subtle kinds of
Stacking, half hidden until an alert
patriotism brands them with their
true character. One of these is waste
Of gasoline by motorists. The old
test that what n pays for one may
do as he pleases, does not apply now,
nor is a mere intention not to waste
gasoline sufficient.
How can l know | am meeting the
new test? many ask. By definitely
finding out how gasoline "a be saw
ed without l~essening the efficiency OF
the car and putting to use the infor-
nation learned. Several sets of rules
have been prepared for this very pur-
pose. This one is by Mancius S.
Hutton, Laboratory Engineer of the
Automobile Club of America:
do not allow the engine to run
idle, except when absolutely nee.
essary.
Rum the car on a lean mixture.
3-Prevent leaks in the gasoline
line, and shut off the gasoline at tn,
tank whenever possible.
Keep the motor free of carbon
A carbonized motor is a large con.
sumner of fuel.
5-Change gears more frequentl!
in order to run the engine at high
economical and efficient speed.
6-Keep the moving parts well lu
bricated.
Keep tires properly inflated.
8-Use kerosene for cleaning in
stead of gasoline.

business men from Dunklin and sur-

thusiasm by his ringing assertion of
