The schoolgirls coat is an important
consideration which cannot be deferred
now. although the Quitting of the
''flapper" is about the most difficult of
a mothers problems. This young per-
son is apt to have ideas of her own
coupled with more determination than
her limited experience warrants. When
she is past sixteen the task of clothing

select things designed for "the awk-

this line of work. They are artists that

Perhaps one of the chief charms about

Shirrinu by Machine.

An easy and quick way to make
shirring on a sewing machine Is to
loosen the tension to make the thread
draw easily, lengthen the stitch and
sew across your material as many
times as you desire rows of shirring.
Then pull the under thread tighter
and you will have as even shirrihg as

The care of the watch at night or
when 1t Is not in use is an important
item, concerning which the United

in the same position as during the day,
and preferably in some place where 1t
will not be. subject to any great tenn

That the government means to be
ready when the war blow falls. is
best told by the preparation that is
being made all over the country by
the various Red cross stations. The
local branch of the Red Cross has re-
ceived instructions from the parent
body to start the ball rolling, ard
the first community call has been
sent out for Saturday morning, March

set at bandase making and lint

like thing of life. The infielder faces
a hard job when he tries to stop it
and the outfielder has to allow for all
kinds of twists and misses many hard
hit drives on that account. On the 9TH
er hand take the dead field. The
ball when it strikes seems to stay
where it struck, or at best rolls forward
in a sluggish, halfhearted way. The
outfield is like a great sponge. There
is no elasticity to the soil. The fielder
finds his work much simplified and
the batter finds it correspondingly more
difficult TO hit the ball safe. He has

Construction work will be started

Munger, president of the organi1a-
ton, who arrived in the city yester-
day.
An inspection Of the site across the
bay, on Town Point, was made yester-
day by MIR. Munger, and Mr.. irwin,
superintendent OF the company,
soundings taken and preparations
made for the carpenters and builders
to begin work tomorrow.
The company will be one of the
largest of its kind in the country,
converting menhaden, small fish
found in abundance in Gulf waters.
into fertilizer and oil. Mr.. Munger
stated that he looked over some speci-
mems of the menhaden caught near
here, and is delighted with the pros
poets of the great oil yield from
them.
The menhaden are found III allnos,
limitless numbers in the Gulf of Mex
ico, and when the season opens in
April, the new company will have its
fleet of boats Eeady for operation.
Because of the many operations in
the manufacture Of fish oil and fer
tiliZer, the company will employ q
large number of men, many OF them
skilled laborers.
Mr.. Munger stated that all OF the
elaborate machinery for the plant had
been ordered, and will arrive by the
time the buildings are completed. In
addition to the large number of men
employed in the plant itself, crews
will be necessary to man the fleet of
boats, and the payroll each week is
expected to release large amount
of money in Pensacola. The COM
pany is capitalized at 100000, AMI
a small amount of the stock IS owned
locally.
Mr.. Munger came to Pensacola last
spring, searching for a location for
the plant. and after selection. closed
the deal for the property across the
bay, believing that it is admirably
adapted for his needs.
Plans at that time were for an
early opening, in time to catch the
run at the opening of the season last
April The entrance of the United
States into the war discouraged the
plan, and it has been impossible to
complete the arrangements until the
present time.
I'VE are here now" said Mr.. Mum
ger last night, 'and we are going to
do business. As soon as the build
ings can be built. the machinery will
be installed, boats brought here, and
