SHOCKS dt $I.5O 10 S5 contribute much D beauty 10 the spring styles

"To see these pretty smocks is to love them"
 Of all the new fashions now on display, none are so novel, so decidedly spring-like. The plainer ones will interest the high school miss and the bus mess woman, and what could be prettier for golfing, when worn in combination with a sports skirt, than a smock? Of course, the more elabo- rately trimmed ones are fashionable for street and general afternoon wear.
 These new smocks are of Ramie linen and Japanese crepe. Are hand shocked in pretty new designs and col ors. Some are all white, smocked in colors, others are all white with colored col lars, cuffs and belts, and one of the prettiest of all is a white Ramie linen with pock- cts and collar trimmed with soft beautiful cretonne. A Jap crepe smock is in pretty sports stripes and colors, spring-like and beautiful.
 The solid color Ramie linen smocks deserve a paragraph all to themselves, in pretty solid green, rose and Copen- hagen blue, many of which are trimmed in white.

A U0mdn said this about our boys lDash suits Cheaper than I can
 make them"

And that was the highest compli- ment she could have paid us. And to prove that it wasn't flattery, but a real sincere compliment, she bought e half dozen of the pretty little suits.
 We are going after the wash suit business of Birmingham. And we are going after those mothers who had, as in the past, planned to make their boys wash suits. Perhaps it was good idea in seasons past, be- fore our Wash Suit Store began making such a vigorous bid for wash suit business. But it will be foolish for any Birmingham mother in the future to worry with cutting and sewing and fitting when the finished product can be bought here for so little.
 And we are willing to prove to the most particular that this isn't just advertising talk.

.RUSS|kS FATE IN BALANCE
NEW GERMAN DRIVE AGGRA-
YATES SITUATION.
Civil War May Come if Coming Coun-
Gil FaiIs-Outside Influence Can
Do Little.

Washington, Aug. Is. - Russia's
critical internal situation, aggravat-
ed by the new German drive against
Riga, threatening the capital, is watch
ed by officials here with grave con-
Germ. It became known that official
advices are closely in accord with
press dispatches describing grave po-
litical conditions.
The outcome of the forthcoming ex-
traordinary national council to be held
at Moscow is awaited here with inter-
est scarcely less keen than in Russia
ITSELF The immediate fate of Russia,
it is felt, depends upon it.
Only TWO Results Possible.
Out of the great gathering, in which
the conservative elements of all sorts
are expected to unite in an effort to
compel the provisional government to
throw off the Socialist control of the
Soldiers and Workpen's council, one
of two results is expected:
The formation of strong central
lied government capable of rapidly re-
organizing the army and resuming the
offensive against the Teutonic pow
ers, or open civil strife. 1t appears
that little can be done by outside in
fuence, even that of the American
government, to help Immediately in
the crisis.

WHEAT MAY Be MORE THAN So

ULATE PRODUCTION.
Food Board to Consider Man Who Pro-
duces Grain as Well as Rights of
the Consumer.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The price to
be paid by the food administration for
the portion it buys of the 1917 wheat
crop probably will exceed 50 bushel,
it is learned here. The committee,
headed by DR.. H. A. Garfield, which
will recommend a price, will submit it's
report early next week.
In recommending a price the COM
mittee, it was said, will take into con-
sideration the fact that the producer
must receive enough to stimulate pro-
duction next year and at the same
time will consider carefully war con.
ditions and the rights of the consum-
er. In passing the food control bill
Congress set an arbitrary price of 81 on
the 1918 wheat crop.
The hope of the food administra-
ton is that the Government price fixed
will obtain in all private transactions
throughout the year and it is ready to
buy up the entire crop for distribu.
ton if prices cannot be stabilized by
the mere fixing of a food administra.

ment is made by the organized lum-

that the shutdown of the mills and
companies was not due to the strike
which has seriously affected the lum-
Der output for several months, but
rather was the result of "a slump in
the market"
