NEW YORK, July 2I.-There is
something new under the sun in
feminine attire. The agitation for
simplicity in dress which has been
interesting certain designers and
many women Of fashion is respon-
sible for new type of frock which
is adjusted without buttons, hooks
and eyes. snaps or any kind OF fast
enings. This sounds almost fabulous.
but IT is easily expla'-e These
dresses slip over the head, and the
opening at the neck and the adjust
ing OF the waistline by an elastic
permit the slipping of and on 10 be
an easy matter. The elastic gives
and the neck opening is sufficiently
large. so that il requires no special
feat OF agility TO get in and cut OF
these dresses, as was the case with
some of the very first types OF slip
on frocks.
If you have the least doubt as 10
the smartness of such a frock look
at the dresses pictured mere. Ger
tainly, YOU would never suspect
them Of being differently construct
ed from any other OF the smart, sim
pie dresses that are now in vogue
The model above is developed in
black satin with a white satin col
lar, and lacings Of white satin for
the long pocket extensions at the
sides of the skirt. The belt of black
satin is adjusted separately over the
casing on which the dress is drawn
up at the aistline. Although the
lines of dresses have been absolute
" straight for the most part. the
bOuffant effect at the hips seems TO
be growing i'm importance more and
more. Sometimes il is acquired by
soft drapery cleverly handled. and
sometimes nv pocket extensions as

hand embroidered scallops. This is

Very interesting in development
are some of the tub frocks for gen

rage for combining two materials
such as wolfe and Bingham or or

Bingham. The appearance Of a

Such unselfishness is met with the
smiling assurance that IL isn't any
trouble, and that sdffragists are
pleased 10 be Of assistance 10 other
women as we'll as wiling TO do their

towns. the women have engaged TO
take at market price all the eggs
that are brought in. The workers

have been made TO put up in water

An interesting phase Of thrift
work is being taken up by ST. Louis
suffragists. where a club for com
munity buying. called the Normal
Buying club, has been organized.
An expert teacher has been secured

cheap substitutes. There classes are
attended by women of means who
pledged themselves 10 make home

women in the poorer districts. This
serves a double purpose of dissem-

marigolds, embroidered in yellow

Then there was another envelope

Beige and Sand-COlored Dresses.
At every turn these days one is
confronted by numbers Of beige and
sand-colored dresses. These are in
the lightweight wool fabrics, chiefly
gabardine wool jersey and the very
closely knitted fabrics. It is very
seldom that they are not trimmed
with soutache. beads or the ma
chine chain-stitch embroidery, and
in most cases these trimmings are
in self color. Sometimes a contrast
ing color appears, however, and
dark red is one Of the most effec-
tive against sand color. When
dresses of this type are not trimmed
with embroidery in any Of the popu-
lar forms their only finish is a col
lar of white satin or organdy and
sometimes n patent leather or suede
belt.
Speaking Of the popularity OF
soutache and chain stitching. both
OF these now appear on hats. There
are some new tam-o'- shanters Of
satin with the crowns covered with
either soutache or the stitching.

Armor plate plants and churches

extreme ends OF the poles, although
in the case OF the proposed armor
Mate plant which the government
NAV locate at Keokrk, and church
property at Hamilton. Illinois, It
would seem that the interests are
linked together. For. according to
the ST. Louis Republic the possibility
Of locating the government plant at
KeoIuk made 1t advisable to hold of
the sale of a church at Hamilton.
Here is the story from the Republic:
The possibility that an armor plant
NAV be located at Keokuk, where the
big dam is employed to assist in the
generation OF electric power, has de-
ferred for the time being the sale Of a
church.
Rev. F. j. Buschmann Of Edwards
Vile. vice president of the church en-
dowment fund of the German Evan
eelical synod Of North America, re-
turned home Saturday from Keokuk.
where he went to sell church at
Hamilton, across the river from Keo-
kuk.
He found the vicinity agog with
the rumor that the armor factory
might be located there. So seriously
did residents consider it that the
minister decided to report back to the
synod recommending that the sale be
deferred until it could be determined
whether a big jump in real estate
values is in prospect.

Professor Kindig has accomplished

morale of the band is high, the en-

and they heartily cooperate with their

SO much for all individually and COL

unity of purpose between teacher and

the United States government had bet
ter think twice before accepting the
Ssier OF Gnarles M Schwab to turn

$4,000 armored car donated recently to
the Colorado national guard failed to
star,' the tests through which it was
put Saturay and today stands screened
from public gaze in local garage,
bullet riddled and shot torn. The
armor plate, manufactured by the
Bethleham Steel company and guaran-
ted bullet proof, was penetrated in
several places by bullets from regular
army rifles fired by guardsmen at
close range.
Before the test shots were fired,
Lieut.. Harold Morris started to take
his seat at the steering mechanism,
expressing to motion picturer his
conviction that there would be no
danger and that the effect would be
most realistic. Now he is congratulate
ing himself that he did not carry out
the intention for one bullet. that split

line with the seat he would have oc-
cupied. would have made the effect
Just trifle too realistic.
