cloths for military uniforms, the same
type Of cloth in a looser weave is being
made for the civilian population. Nat
urally, the colors differ; and brown,
navy blue and mixtures seem to pre-
dominate. No doubt these will infiu-
ence the kind of fabrics used here,
since we have long looked to England
for materials suitable for tailored
suits.
The gaiety Of plaids and checks,
which have endeared themselves to US
in the ginghams so popular this sum-
mer, is to be seen among silks and in
modified degree among wool mater
ials for early fall dresses and separate
skirts. Plaid skirts are very fashion
able for sports and generally utility
wear.
The combining Of materials is fash
ionable as well as very practical. re
Gently saw very pretty and stylish
frock, suitable for the late summer or
early fall, Of sand-colored tussah silk
and polka-dotted blue foulard. The
waist had collar Of the dotted silk,
and tussah silk buttons with a narrow
blue rim were used down the front and
down one side Of each slit in the tunic,
while on the other side were button
holes bound with blue silk.
The illustration shows a dress de-
signed for small women, in more fall
like materials, which is developed In a
similar way. The materials used are
blue serge and blue satin. The front
and back panels together with the
smartly draped pockets are Of serge,
and the rest Of the dress is Of satin.
Other combinations suitable for
street and afternoon frocks are broad
cloth and satin, and jersey cloth and
taffeta or rajah. A fashionable color
combination, imported from Paris, is
gray and black.
The second illustration shows an
evening dress Of brocaded taffeta COM
bined with Georgette crepe. The en-
tire dress is in this instance made Of
the taffeta except for straight piece
of Georgette attached o an upper tunic
Of taffeta which reaches across the

RED CROSS WILL ASSIST
SOLDIERS NEEDY FAMILIES

The question having been raised AZ
to whether the Red Cross viii assist
in taking care Of dependent families
Of soldiers and sailors called into SER
vice in this war, Mr.. Henry P. Davf-
son, Chairman, on behalf Of the Red
Cross War Council, authorizes the
following:
Obviously the task Of providing for
the financial assistance Of the families
Of our soldiers and sailors Is 10 large
that the Government alone can assume
it. In no other way can the burden be
discharged fairly and as matter of,
right, rather than charity. No volun-
teer organization, or organizations,
could adequately cope with Q duty OF
such magnitude.
The American people win not, Of
course, permit families to suffer want
because their bread-winners are tight
ing for their country. Cases will nm
doubtedly arise wherein the allowance
Of the government will not be ade-
quate to protect a family from finan-
cial distress. Such instances the Red
Cross will hope to provide for through
its chapters.
The Red Cross chapters can and will
provide also the friendly services
which may be needed and acceptable
because Of ill-health or other misfor-
tune or because Of family conditions,
which, If neglected, would result IN
need and suffering or disaster to the
home.
That this work may be done with
thoroughness and uniformity, the Red
Cross has published "The Manual Of
Home Services" for the guidance Of
chapters. This Civilian Relief work
Is under the direction Of w. +. Per-
sons, Director General Of Civilian Re-
lief.

beaded with some simple design. The
buckskin or chamois bags, beaded in
designs which are distinctly Indian in
their origin, are among the latest and
therefore smartest Of these bags. They
go particularly well with the tailored
suit.
Since every one is knitting, every
one is interested in an all-intpOrtant
knitting bag. These large and roomy
bags are also being used for shopping.
Some are made with ten to twelve-inch
sticks across the top withribbons at

made Of the gayest Of cret0nnes, tap

rATTENING PICS

There is no advantage in skimping
| the pig when it comes to fatten him,
the United States Department OF Ag-
rfculture points out. During the grow
| ing period Of his life, pastures with
little grain were In order, Tor scale
and constitution were the main objects
to be obtained. The last few weeks
before butchering the idea is to lay
on q good covering of fat, to increase
| the proportion Of high-priced lard,
and to add tenderness and palatability
to the meat. A fat hog sells 70 much
better advantage on the market Tor
these very reasons.
To add this fat rapidly and most
economically, we must feed an abund-
ance Of grain. The self-feeder Is
simply a device to keep before the
pigs q constant supply Of feed. in
order that they may eat Of such feeds
in such quantities as they desire.
A brief resume Of results obtained
by experiments with over 276 hogs,
part Of them self-fed and the balance
hand fed in the best possible manner,
shows:
First. that in comparison with the
handled pigs, the self-fed pigs ate
grain 10 per cent more rapidly;
Second, that they gained weight %
per cent more rapidly;
And last, that they consumed only
80 per cent as much grain lin gaining
100 pounds.
This shows three very definite adj
yantages in the use Of the self-feeder.
Pigs fed in this manner viii eat more
grain per day than under any other
method Of feeding. This maximum
consumption Is not wasteful Of grain;
in fact It saves grain, Tor an Increase
of 19 per cent In the rate Of eating
caused an increase Of % per cent in
the rate Of gaining. The object In
feeding is to put on fat as rapidly
| and with as little grain as possible.
| A method which will increase the rate
| Of gaining % per cent and at the same
time decrease by 5 per cent the grain
required to produce a unit OF gain is
certainly worthy Of consideration.
Fill part Of the self-feeder with
corn or similar carbonaceous feed and
the other part with protein supple
ment: also take care to see that 1t is
kept filled. Induce well-grown shoats
Ito eat when and what they choose,
| and save grain, save labor, and get
your hogs to market at the earliest
possible date.

The fact that we are at war is no
longer a novelty. We have passed the
panicky period when every one decided
to economic, regardless Of common
sense. The only difference it seems to
have made in our daily Life is that we
have become more thoughtful. We no
longer purchase carlessly but give at
tention to each individual outlay; the
abnormal economy has disappeared
and given place to normal, unextrav-
igant expenditure.
AS yet the war has only influenced
our clothes in certain styles, such as In
trench coats military capes and in the
use of khaE-colored materials for
suits In England, however, it has
made radical difference in the mater
ials used for suits for both men and
women. Since the mills are weaving
