There is an unavoidable delay in

blanks for the issuance of permits"
said George p. Hambrecht, chairman
of the industrial commission, on Sat

This delay was due to the fact that
1t was necessary to make the rules and

strictly with those under the federal

Hambrecht late In July went to Wash

Dor to harmonic the Wisconsin rules
with federal requirements.

liberty Bonds for Christmas.

The first do your Christmas shop
from the state council of defense in a
bulletin which urges the buying of use-
full gifts.
The bulletin follows:
"Save money and save worry in Sc
lecting presents during the war by
giving useful gifts. The generosity OK
the American people this year should
be practically devoted to their country.
Conserving our resources means giving
to the nation. Every year the indis-
eliminate interchanging of gifts cost
much and profits little.
'All the trinkets, high-priced jewell
ry and china liz the world will not help
win the war. They may be good to
look at, but we cannot eat them. Meth
er will they keep us warm. Why not
eliminate those gifts which are purely
for diversion and ornamentation and
substitute the useful and the practical
this year.
'Small sums of money and Libers,J
bonds make very acceptable and ex-
cellent gifts. If you can afford bond
as gift it will serve as a reminder of
your thoughtfulness for many a Christ
mas to come.
Remember the soldier and the
sailor who are fighting for you. Do
your part to make their Christmas in
camp or in the trenches or on the war
vessels as much like home as possible
during the Christmas season.
''Why not decide this year, too, to
stay at home with our Christmas gifts?
Let us leave out of consideration the
uncles, the aunts, the cousins, the
nieces and nephews and ask them to
likewise strike your names off their
Christmas lists. BY so doing, we will
be better off financially, we will be
just as happy on Christmas day and we
will have more money in our pockets
to pay our, taxes.
"Buy early, buy sensibly, and buy
carefully when you do your shopping
for Christmas this year"
The suggestions of the council would
revOlutionize the mercenary meaning
of Christmas and thereby bring about
conservation, at the same time restor-
ing the spiritual significance of the
holiday season.

IN FALL STYLES

aise over any kind of skirt and blouse.
and if it is lined in the colorful and
interesting way that prevails among
taiIors today, it presents itself as
garment of rare merit.
The short jacket, however, as it
will be worn this autumn, is a bit of
costumery that is taken by the back
of the neck and pulled out of the fam
lily album.
Whether or not the peculiar vaude-
vile trick of presenting family
album in song and living pictures,
which has spread over New York
through the success of one of the
musical revues of the season, was the
predecessor of this short, tight jacket.
nobody can tell. 1t is a far-fetched
idea, no doubt, but don't you think 1t
is rather interesting that the stage
folk should get up family album
scene that runs through vaudeville
fashions as dancing does, and that,
now, suddenly, that coat and skirt
should be launched into costumery?
One of these jackets which will I'M
doubtedly prove a success because ii
has been issued by dominant house,
has a little hustle all its own. 1t, be-
longs to a skirt that is quite narrow,
and it has q bit of an upward pull
from knees to waistline at the back
a pull so slight that it is not always
noticeable.
The jacket fits the figure, curves in
to the waistline at the back and then
flares out into a series of folds that
give the hustle effect. 1t is buttoned
in a straight line down the front.
There is a band of velvet above the
hem of the coat. The buttons are
covered with the wine-cOlOred velour
that makes the suit. The collar is
very high, soft in it's folds, rolls over
backward to the neck line and is trim
med with band of velvet.
Fasten From Chin to Hem.
Revers are abandoned by the tailors
and dressmakers. Where one coat
will have them, sixteen others will be
fastened in straight line from the
chin to the lower edge. All the col
lars are high, but soft and envelOping
the neck and chin in the manner that
was considered correct in the eight
eenth century.
Mind you, this style is not the only
powerful note in fashion that is
brought out for jackets. 1t is one of
several other details, and a woman
will have the chance to accept what
she wishes.
This latter situation will be the
hope and the downfall of many wOm-
en-. Left to themselves to choose
among a heterogeneous mass of ma
terial, the best minds will grow con-
fused and go wrong. On the other
hand, highly trained judgment will
give to women the chance to express
their individuality and look little
unlike their neighbors.
1t may be said, however, that the
coat that fastenS in a line down the
front, the buttons running straight
through the high, rolling collar, will
