Six Shades Of Red to Lead, II Is
Officially Announced.
soMBER TONES MAY PREVAIL
Manufacturers Think War VIII Cause
American Women to Choose Dull
Clothes Though They May
Be Expensive.

Npw York.-The manufacturers are
exhibiting their usual interest In the
coloys which may come into fashion
next autumn.
To the Nlayman, this forehandedness
seems to be vitality wasted, but the
man behind the business knows that
now ID the appointed hour to look with
sharpened eyes into the near future.
Merchandise is a stupendous bulk
of NE terial that quickly goes into profit
or lns9 1t makes or mars n merchant
and u.'ects thousands who owe to his
cleveraess their chance to live In COM
fort. II he does not look ahead with
an eps and mind trained to take into
accouat every minor and major hap
penine, and every shadow Of coming
events. ne goes down into debt and
carries the thousands with him. When
those who are more interested than
ever before in the production Of wom-
ans apparel because of the strain
caused by the war and the feeling of
false economy, say among themselves
that this color and that fabric will
have no chance for popularity next
winter, then they decide momentous
issue.
They realize that the public must be
induced to buy while the buying is
good; while it can make use Of the
pieces of merchandise that exist and
which may soon cease to be worth
while. The public, itself, wants to
know the prospects for the success Of
every garment. If its service is to be
of short duration, then wisdom dictates
that 1t must be made to yield every
ounce Of service now.
Many of us would willingly buy q
garment, or piece Of cloth, IL we
were candidly told that 1t would not
serve us long, but that 1t would last
for another three months, giving that
as the reason for it's reduction from
the original price. But we feel cheat
ed and Inundated when, after buying
something that was supposedly rising
up the hill of popularity, we find that
1t is quickly going down hill.
Weary Quickly Of Clothes.
Most of us are gullty--if crime II
be-of wearying of what we possess
in the way of clothes before they have
given us value for money expended
and we willingly give them up under
the pressure of an excuse that will
satisfy our conscience. If we buy
often and without undue expense, we
right happily fling away the purchase
when Its time comes to go.
1t is this psychological truth thai
lies down deep in the spirits of thu
ma jorlty, that makes 1t possible fol
the department shops to reap snut
fortune each season out of the mod
ishly cut and cheaply priced garment

Frank H. Farrs of Rolla, Mo, Demo-
cratic floor leader of the house of rep
resentatives of the last legislature,
surrendered to the sheriff's office and
was released on $1,000 bond, following
his indictment by the st. Louis grand
jury in connection with the collection
of an alleged police slush fund Of
$4,000. Ray Cummins, secretary of
the Police Relief Association, who was
indicted at the same time on the same
charge, was not located. Deputy
sheriffs failed to find him at his home.
Farris denied all knowledge of the
slush fund and said he was ready to
stand trial.

Kidnapers Take Child From Bed
at Springfield During
Parents Absence
DOGS FAIL TO FOLLOW TRAIL
Family of J. H. keet Receives Letter
Threatening Boy Unless a
Ransom Is Paid.

Kidnapers took Lloyd Keet, the II
month-old son of ]. H. Keet, wealthy
capitalist, from the Keet home at
Springfield and are holding him for
ransom.
Bloodhounds were put on the trail
of the kidnapers, but were able to fol-
low it only a short distance to spot
where, apparently, the child was taken
into motor car.
The childs father and mother were
at a dance at the Springfield Country
Club A maid, who had been in the
family two years, and a nurse, who
had been in its service seven years,
were left at the home, which is In
fashionable part of Springfield, with
the two Keet children, Lloyd and his
brother, years old. The children
were sleeping together,
At 10 o'clock the nurse and maid re-
tired, and some time between that and
midnight the baby was taken. The
older child was not disturbed, and
neither the nurse nor the maid was
awakened. Jewelry worth $1,000 was
in plain, sight in the room in which
the children were sleeping, but it was
not disturbed.
Burns detectives, in Springfield on
strike duty, were put on the case.
They are of the opinion that two per-
sons were involved in the kidnapping,
but they have no tangible clew on
which to work. Apparently one of the
kidnapers climbed into the house and
handed the child out to the other
through a window.
The Keets had received no demands
for money before the kidnapping. In
the postoffice in the morning, however,
was letter addressed to the Keet
family. The letter has not been made
public, but 1t is understood to contain
threats to mutilate the child unless q
large sum is paid.
Mr. Keet has offered reward OF
$4,000 for the conviction of the kid
napers.
Until recently Mr.. Keet was vice
president of the Holland Banking Com
pany. He resigned to devote his en-
tire time to managing the large estate
left him by his mother. Keet is IS
years old and Mrs. Keet is %. They
are active in society circles in Spring
field.

The city of Joplin, after three years
of commission government, had SO
much money in its treasury that the
commissioners voted to subscribe for
$4,000 worth of the Liberty Loan
bonds. The police department appro-
priated $4,000 from its relief fund and
the fire department $4,000 from its re-
lief fund for similar purchase. Each
of the funds was created under COM
mission rule. When the commission,
ers took charge three years ago there
was only a little more than $4,000 in
the general fund, from which all ex-
penses of a general nature are paid.

sober clothes, even though they may
be expensive ones. France, 1t Is true,
went In almost Historically for dull

wounded was brought home, but nei-
ther England nor Canada cut out the
buying Of colorful clothes, nor did the
think 1t was necessary to economic.
The English department shops, for in

ply the immense demands of the thou
sands of women who came into money
suddenly through the high wages paid

There Is every reason to suppose
that when the first excitement of war
is over our women will go on buying
the kind Of clothes they prefer, but
the manufacturers have decided that

colors than we have worn.
viii silks Grow In Strength
Another question important to the
people who sell apparel has to do with
silk. We have been wearing it reck-

that we could have cotton. All classes
