COUNTRY MENACED
BY A COAL FAMINE
Reduced Consumption Alone Can Pre-
vent It, DR.. Garfield Tells War
Service Committees.

WASHINGTON, Dec l3-Reduction in
consumption alone can save the country
from coal famine, DR. Garfield, the fuel
administrator, yesterday told 300 chair
men Of war service committees named by
various industries to act with the govern
mcnt in It's purchase OF war supplies.
Unless there was a concerted effort
toward conservation, DR.. Garfield said,
the coal supply would not meet the re-
ouircments Of industry. First considera-
ton would br given TO war industries by
the fuel administration III distributng
coal and others would have to suffer,
though no list Of non-essentials for which
coal was to be denied would be made up.

WAR WORK AT
THE NAVY YARDS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. &c
Nearly $1,000 appointments were
made to the forces OF mechanics,
helpers. and laborers at navy yards
and other naval establishments dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 80.
1917, and since that date appoint
ments have been made in increased
proportion.
An appropriation of s7,5o0,000 is
now being expended in the enlarge
ment of the great naval gun factory
at Washington, which, when complet.
ed. will furnish employment fer 4 900
or more skilled mechanics in addition
to the 5000 already at work in the
plant. In this mammoth factory, one
of the best equipped and most inter-
esting in the world, are built the
great guns for our war vessels. which
carry to every country the message OF
Americas ability TO protect herself
and to safeguard the rights OF her
citizens wherever they may be.
The new naval aircraft factory at
Philadelphia. which will be complet-
ed this month, will also employ about
5000 men.
The workers who man such plants
are of superior class. and. they feel
a personal price in turning out pro-
ducts that will stand the test OF con-
flict with the arms OF other nations.
A considerable part OF the building
of war vessels Ia almost done in Gov

colors add to the picture; sometimes
wonderful lining is the only trim
ming used.
The Question OF Gloves
Are we going to wear gloves this
year," Yes, and no, in fact you may
do as you please. For very formal
times. big receptions, the opera and
so forth, long gloves seem appropri-
ate; but for less formal occasions,
dances, teas, and even the theater,
it is considered perfectly permissible
to leave them off. Short white gloves
sleeved dresses. however Light col
ored gloves are smart for afternoon
wear, and black may always be worn
in the morning or with dark suit.
Wash chamois, kid or buckskin are
the best for morning or sports wear.

hair may be slightly waved, and
brushed softly back, ending in
loose knot at the nape of the neck.
Another way is to pile ii up on the
head in soft roll. The French twist
is favored too, and also one still sees
the hair dressed so as to appear
'bobbed." Rhinestone pins and
combs may be used il they are not
too large and elaborate. Earrings are
coming to the front this year in many
unusual and interesting shapes. The
single loop. the double loop and the
triangle of gold are very popular,
and the gypsy earrings are a fad of
the moment.
The Evening Coat Or Cape
The evening coat belongs to the
same class as the little girl with
curl, when it is good it is very,
very good, and when it is bad 1t is
horrid!" 1t, too, must be simple, be-
coming and-warm, and it is far
wiser to choose a good material and
lining and do without trimming.
Capes are enjoying quite vogue
this year, from the one shaped like
an Italian officers to the cape coat.

very far apart, but, in the history
of every war, great stress is laid
upon the brighter side of life. One
reads of gay parties given during

routs played important parts in the
War of the Revolution. The frocks
were simple, ones, to be sure, but
one can have just as good time in
plain costumes. If they are becoming
Or course there are parties and
dances and teas now; great fun they
are, too, for it is rare indeed that
one does not see a uniform or two
