VESTS, WOMEN'S NEW HOBBY
They Are So Fashioned That They
May Be Worn With Suits or Not
AS Fancy May Dictate.

A distinctive feature of several of
the new suits is the waistcoat. The
designers have had a forethought to
make that adjunct a separate thing;
that is, the suit itself is so fashioned
that it is complete without the vest ;
and, on the other hand, the vest itself
may be worn irrespective of the coat.
This arrangement will appeal to
many women, particularly those who
go in for outdoor athletics. At the
same time 1t does not make the suit
lacking in smart qualities for town
wear. There is another cOmmendable
thing about the waistcoat suit. A
woman may fancy ii at the beginning
Of the season and then tire of 1T after
a little wearing of the garment. Should
this prove the case she may discard
the most conspicuous and colorful fea-
ture thereof and be CARRIED in sober
colors.

New Albany, Ind.-Thirty-one per-
sons were killed when tornado swept
over New Albany last Friday after
noon. Scores were injured and prop
erty was damaged to the extent of
more than 100000. The death toll
will probably reach more as many of
the victims of the storm cannot sur
vive.
West Union, a subdivision in the
northeastern section of the city was
the hardest hit. Here the wind swept
a path two blocks wide and RACED prac-
tically all of the dwellings.
Immediately following the storm
requests were sent to Louisville and
Jeffersonville for aid and both cities
were quick in answering to the call.
All the doctors and nurses in both the
cities were Immediately rushed to the
scene. New Albany's only hospital
was insufficient to hold the list of in
jured and many were hurried across
the Ohio river to the neighboring city
of Louisville.
The tornado caught the city wholly
unawares. 1t had been raining slight
ly early in the afternoon, but no
storm indications came to give the
people warning. All at once the sky
became black and peculiar funnel
shaped cloud appeared close to the
earth in the southwest.
In West Union colored school
building was destroyed. Twenty-Five
children were in the building. Some
of them are thought to have escaped,
but the total number of victims here
will not be ascertained until the
wreckage has been cleared away.
The task of guarding the stricken
area against the depredations of loot
ers was taken over in large measure
by Maj. d. c. Payton, superintendent
of the Jeffersonville Reformatory.
Many small homes along the pike
were wrecked and scores of people
injured.
The barn and all other outbuildings
on the farm of Col. Henry Bell, at
Harrods Creek, was blown down and
every tree in the yard was felled.
Overturned trees completely block
ed traffic on the pike and interurban
lines between Louisville and Harrods

AMOS SLOWLY DYING OUT
torie Race OF Aborlgines Of
Northern Japan.

Investigators call attention TO the
fact that the historic race of the
Amos, the aborigines of northern
Japan. Is slowly dying out. II Is es-
timated that these residents OF Hok-
kaido, the most northerly OF the great
islands making up the japanese en-
pire, are now no more than 10000.
The Amos, a dark, picturesque APP
pearing people, live i'm groups of twen-
" TO forty houses in scattered dis
tricts on the island. In spite of cease
less efforts on the part of the central
government and each prefectural gov
eminent in their behalf, which give
them allotted portions of land, provide
them with habitations, give them in
structions in farming and furnish
them with necessary education, they
nevertheless show no sign of benefitiRg
from the care taken of them.
japanese writer's term them an indo-
lent, improvident race and declare that
both men and women are addicted to
drinking and appear to regard any
thing done for their benefit as a nuis-
ance.
The male Amos pass their time in
hunting and fishing. The women are
described as more industrious. Bear
hunting is the great occupation of the
men, but the bears, like the Amos
themselves, are becoming fewer. The
men have dark hair and long, thick
boards. Hair is sacred to them. Their
faces are usually tattooed.
The "bear festival" as ii is called,
consists of the offering of slaugh-
tered young bear as n sacrifice to the
gods. The animal is nurtured for
about five years for this specific pur-
pose. On the occasion of the sacrifice
the men and women join In grand ban
quets and merrymaking. The Amos,
like many other primitive people, wor-
ship the sun.

COMBINATION SUIT IS BACK
This is Not a One-Piece Garment, But
an Association of Two Distinct
Fabrics and CoIors.

The so-called combination suit is
with US once more. This does not refer
to a one-piece garment, but rather to
the association Of two distinct fabrics
and cOlors. Perhaps the idea had it's
rise In connection with sports wear,
but one finds it now expressed in
dresses of more or less informal lines,
but far less like the outing garb than
have prevailed during the last two or
three seasons.
For example, there are suits whose
skirts are of white serge and coats
of dark velveteen. And there are
costumes whose skirts are of penciled
striped serge, gaberdine or the new
mOhair fabric which is known as
satalga and which are topped with
coats of plain cloth or of some knitted
fabric. 1t is something of a relief to
anticipate the wearing OF suits which
are not intoxicated with a color med
ley or which make one dizzy in their
mad alliance of unhappy cOlOrs in
striped, plaided, checked or spotted
designs.
Also 1t may be recorded that the all
white suit shows signs of revival. Al
ready it has been worn by women of
unquestionably good taste at the vari-
Gus southern resorts; and with it has
appeared the all-white hat, white foot
wear and other accessories. The one
concession to the colorists is found in
the parasol and sometimes in the belt
which may be of some paralyZing gay
tone or a conglomeration of high colors.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freeZone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender.
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly. and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries In
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezons
tell him TO order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

HEM TO BE NARROW
New Skirts Have No lo0seness
Around Ankles. :
Some Designers Have Gone Back to
Zouave, But This Is Not Expected
to Win Wide Favor Among
American Women.

Many things are positively settled
concerning the spring fashions. but
the one feature about which there Is
no confusion is that the hem must be
narrow, no matter what method Is
used to obtain this effect.
Evidently, from the French gowns
that have been shown, there was hest
tation on the part of many Of the de-
signers as to the introduction of the
hobble hem. One is not accustomed
to hesitation on the part of the
French where clothes are concerned,
and the exhibition of this quality in
the cutting of the new skirts gives
one feeling that France is designing
new fashions from what the engineers
call a point in the air." She does not
know what women will accent, for she
has none of her usual channels Of fash
ion through which to exploit new
ideas. Only one or two of the French
designers have ever been to America,
and their knowledge of the American
woman comes through the smart cos
mopolitan, who is as much at home in
Paris as in New York, Washington or
Chicago. These women dress alike all
over the world. They do not represent
any phase of Americanism and, of
course, they are I'm the minority.
France made up her mind that she
was to narrow the hem of skirts, but
she wasn't sure enough of her own po-
sitiOn to throw few hundred hObble
skirts on the market and let 1t go at
that. She has, therefore, compromised
In one way or another, but she has not
allowed the narrow hem to escape her
clutches and fly out into the flare of
looseness around the ankles that has
prevailed for two years.
More than one designer has gone
back to the zouave skirt, with its full
ness drawn up to a tight lining at the
hem; others, like Georgette, have
gathered the fuilness of the skirt into
a cuff hem, which means a band that
turns upward and outward. This
hem is often cut into battlements at
the top, which extend over the full
HESS VI tie L. 1ulS effect Is very
good and it has been widely adopted
by the American workers.
There is no return as yet to the
sheath skirt, the kind that shapes it
self into the figure from waist to an
kles. Every skirt shows fullness
either at the waistline or above the
hips, but there is not nearly the full
ness that we have been using in an ex-
travagant manner.
1t is thought by the experts that the
zouave skirt will not last very long,
because it has been worn in America
more than France knows and does not
bring anything of freshness or novelty
with 1t. The skirt which is plated at
the waist and held In by cuff hem so
that it will not flare is far more to
our liking.

Since narrow box plaits and machine
stitching entered the arena of things
tailored, they have scored many sue
cesses. Plaits. especially when they
are narrow, help the designer in
achieving long lines and are the best
of aids in accomplishing the straight
silhouette.
Both suit coats and separate coats
are made with narrow box plaits set
onto a plain yoke at The line of the
bust. The coat pictured is a fine ex-
ample of this plan Of spring styles.
The collar and skirt Of the coat are
decorated with parallel rows of ma
chine stitching.
