Moorhead Man Writes
From Kelly Field, Where
He Is Sergeant

Halstein Void, one of the Moor
head young men who enlisted in the
aviation section of the signal corps
of the army has made good and is
now a sergeant in his squadron. He
enlisted as a private, was promoted
to corporal and his trict attention to
business has brought him further
promotion. Before he left Moorhead
Mr.. Void was employed by the Pal
ace Clothing company. and was top
sergeant of the Moorhead Home
guard when he enlisted.
The following letter was received
from him by JOS. A. Laden:
Kelly Aviation Field,
So. San Antonio, Tex, Sept. II:
Dear Friend joel
Should have written you before.
but we are kept pretty busy down
here. Will try to tell you "a little
about our camp life.
This is a great camp with about
10000 men all in the aviation. Nearly
every day a flying squadron leaves
for some Atlantic port-then to
France. All we know is that they
leave, this camp.
At Camp Travers, two miles west
Of Kelly Field, there are nearly &c.
600 men of the National army who
have been arriving in numbers dur
ing the past few days. They are
having a great work out as observ-
ed yesterday when inspecting the
guard. The way happened to be on
inspection duty is that I was pro-
NOTED from corporal to sergeant;
and the captain of our squadron says
/ will win a commission inside of
six months IL 1 continue to attend
strictly to business.
This morning / drilled the squad
ron under the inspection OF all our
head officers. Felt little shaky at
first, but have learned that I came
through all right. We are sleeping
in tents now, but will be moved into
the new barracks in about a week.
The heat is hard on some of the
men; but the drill goes on just the
same If some Of them do have to
drop out Of the ranks
Moorhead people would be sur
prised to see some of the daredevil
work of the men In the air. Some
OF our men have all the birds out
classed; but none of them are in 1t
with the French captain who served
with Joffre's army. ,He is one Of the
head instructors: and he surely
knows the game. There are about
500 planes in the camp and they
hum like a swarm of bees when the
motors are working in the air.
We don't know what will come
next; but all expect that we will be
started for France within the next
two months. George Wintheroud is
in the same squadron and is now as
sistant mess sergeant. We will

Scholarship Is
Standard For Gamma
Neche Membership

At the beginning of the last year Of
school at the Moorheal Normal. the
members of the Gamma Neche soror-
ity, feeling that membership in that
organization should contribute to an
all-around development instead of
over emphasizing a superficial kind
OF social training, revised it's consti-
tuition and reorganiZed the sorority.
AS an organization the CANINE
Neches are now aiming toward such
a standard of social activities as will
contribute to the social life of the
school rather than to that of a small
group. For membership a high stand
ard of scholarship has been adopted
and no one is now admitted without
a careful investigation of previous
school records. No member is allow
ed to participate in social activities
of the sorority when her grades fall
below this standard.
Bids will be sent out Friday to a
limited number Of students.

fective. With n severely plain suit the
hat may be picturesque and decorative,

Making joke of deprivatiOns Is one
phase of French fOrtitude In these
times of trial. The Parisienne makes
light of the scarcity of coal and says
she will rely upon furs and exercise
In the open air to keep herself warm
this winter. This prediction seems to
have influenced the mode, and furs
are everywhere. On suits and frOcks
they appear In bands, sometimes con-
tinuOus and more often In sections, on
the bottom of skirts and coats. Collars
and cuffs, uncovered buttons, and
narrow fur bands and fringes of fur
find a place on all outer garments.
Deep cuffs, both clOse-fitting and
fiaring, and narrow collars that widen
Into broad revers are among the new.
est phases of fur trimmings. But with
the broadcast collars and the most gen
erous cuffs are coupled very narrow
landings in pockets and about the bot
tom of coats. Collars are as luXuriou'
and enveloping as those introduced lost

ible variety that may be brought vi
about the throat ut will.

with gray squirrel, Is made of WOO

There is wonderful diversity in
one-piece dresses, and there must be.
1--WE must have new things all the time
or women will not buy" says one of
those who sells frOcks nearly all the
days of the year. 1t is business that
makes the world move forward, and so
designers call upon the four quarters
of the globe for ideas and Inspirations.
This fall there are Chinese and Rus
sian and American Indian ideas inter.
preted in new suits and dresses. or dis.
cernble in their trimmings, along with
clever inventions that are home grown
and very modern.
Brit with all this casting about for
new inspirations there are almost no
freakish dresses. Everything must bow
to the DEGREES of the mode and manage
to arrive at simplicity In effect, no mat
ter how much elaborated In details of
trimming or finish. The result Is the
pretticst and most wearable frocks
that can be imagined, with the straight
line models In great favor and the
smart Russian blouse winning its way
to the front.
But the straight line dress has no
monopoly, as may be gathered from
the clever model in a one.piece frock

New Belts.

The belt line of the new frocks Is
as diversified as one can imagine.
There are belts of all degrees of
width. There Is still the beltless
frOck that has Il girdle drawn loosely
about the hips and there are Occa-
s.onal high-waisted belts. The tend
ency In the new frocks is to empha-
size the normal waistline, however,
and this probably means the persist
ence of the separate belt of leather or
embroidered silk.
