Marines MAKING
FIGHT TO RETAIN
GREEN UNIFORMS
Troops in France Ordered TO
Don Khaki,
BY the Assoc lated Press.

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP
IN FRANCE, Aug l0,-The marines
Of the expedtionary force will make a
fight to retain their forest green uni
forms against a tentative order which
would place them in regular army
khaki, The marines think they can ar
range a necessary supply OF their dis
tinctiyc clothing but army officers feel
i, would perhaps he better to have the
entire expedition uniformed alike,
The marines hold that to abandon
their distinctive dress would tend to
lower the morale Of the men which in
turn would rob the expedition OF the
friendly rivalry now esisting between
services. The marines cite the case OF
the Alpine chasscurs in France who
won their fight early in the war to re
tain their distinctive uniforms Of dark
blue against an order that all French
troops should wear horizon blue.
The marines today subscribed to a
fund OF 5000 to buy French war
bonds, the fact evokirg great cheers
from their French trainers.

that high crowns are not to bo

will continue to be acceptable
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1917-08-10

NEW YORK, Aug o.--Tho.s milli-
ners who suddenly jcdkcd low crown
into n high one, as one polls out a
jack in the box, surely turned the fash
ION in hats topSvturvy.
There is nothing SO irritating 10 the
woman who has bought low crowned
hat AS 20 find that three inches have
been added by fashion and that what
she possesses is aS hopcleSSly out of
the picture as full skirt in season
oi narrow ones
There are women who are rrbelliouS
by nature, and by practice, and they
continue TO wear the low crowned
hat regardless OF what other women
do. They are often governed by ira
ditlon, and not by a firm belief that a
high crown IS unsuitcd 70 their faces
Tradition and custom arc two pow
eriul factors among certain women in
the governing Of their clothes. They
wear certain things simply because
they've always worn them, and they

the stcadiastness OF a photograph,

Danger in High Crowns.
il ~ tar better Tor n woman TO be
compromising than defiant in fashions
She can dickcr with a high crown and
come out the victor, il she knows how
TO use the brim as an admirable tool
toward success
No one denies that pot hat such
as the English have held In rever
cnco for their E,on boys, Is not the
thing for the average American woman
Neither is the more daring and dash
ing Beau Brunmel hat with its high
crown, which Mr., Castle and her
imita,ors wore IN such an admirable
manner.
The straight, high ,urban without a
trim is another dangerous type OF hat
for the American face, unless the
crown is oblong and the trimming
reaches well out at the back and front.
The Russian and French grenadier
hats give a certain insolcnt charm Ia
the yuug girl who can carry them
off, but no other type of woman should
attempt to wear this kind Of headgear
The cables from France say that the
brim will he minor factor in fash
IONS after the autumn begins, but any
ono who knows the Frenthwomen and
also has MI excellent birds eye view
OF the women on the American con
tinent. can combat that statement with
prophecy founded on experience
The Need OF q Brim.
Artists will tell any woman that she
needs a brim to shade her eyes II she
is over 10 years old. This is an ar,is-

II is a safe statement by which tc

GAME TONIGHT
 CALLED OFF BY
 HRANGELL MNGR.

The scheduled basketball game which was to be played tonight at Douglas between the Wrangel and Treadwen teams has been called off by the management of the Wrangell team. In statement made this af- ternoon the manager of the Wrang- ell team stated that the boys came to Juneau prepared to play as many games as possible but that for the past three nights straight they have been playing the hardest kind of basketball and they are too sore and stiff to go into another game tonight.
 "The boys are willing, but for their best physical interests I do not believe it would be wise for them to play another game without a rest. They will lay off tonight. Possibly a game can be arranged for Friday night if the MaripOsa does not return, but tonight there will be no game" stated Manager Carl son this afternoon.

Mary PickfOrd Tries to Shop.

Mary PlcktOrd IFleS tO ShOp.
 Do your Christmas shopping carly is Q good slogan, and one that should be followed by everyone with the possible exception of the mo- tion-picture idol. In order to com pletc her new Aircraft picture, "Thc Pride of the Clan" Mary Pickford was compelled to postpone her Christmas shopping from day to day, but finally she simply phoned a con- ference of authors, directors and motion picture people that she would not be present, and more than that, she would be absent all week. Then she took her little "Lcst We Forget" memorandum book and started out a-shoppiRg, using one automobile for herself and the memorandum book and a second car for the pur- chases. And she kept them both busy.
 As many members of the fair sex realize, shopping is no child's play. To Mary Pickford shopping has more worries than to any other lady in the land. An instance that happen ed the other day indicates what usually attends her shopping tours. Her first purchase was made quick enough, and when the little film idol asked that the goods be charged. to the account of Mary Pickford, the shop girl nearly tainted when she realized that she was face to face with "America's Darling" Of course she told the girl next to her and the word passed around the store with the rapidity and sensa- tional development of an sos. call

VISITORS TAKE
 GAME FROM TIE
 A. B. PLAYERS

Wrangell made good their asser- lions of having a basketball team when they took the A. B. team down the line last night to the tune of 30 to 25. The game was exceedingly fast and clean, there being no rough stuff and but very few personal fouls being called. The Wrangell team won through superior team work and signaling. They were out weighed several pounds per man, but as the Arctic Brotherhood team had never played together on the floor as team before, they were woe fully weak in team playing.
 The individual playing was eX- ceedingly good, every man on the A. B. team being in the game for all the points possible and many spectacular plays were pulled off, but nevertheless the Wrangell play CTS deserve great credit for beating them. Every man knew that he had been in a game and had to eX- tend himself to win the victory, but the victory was won and they are entitled to all the credit.
 The large crowd present enjoy ed every minute of the contest from start to finish and freely aD- plauded all good plays, irrespective of whether made by an A. B. or a Wrangell player. Every man on the Wrangell team was star and clearly demonstrated that the fine points of the game are familiar to each. Burford, Mathews and Carl son played exceptionally good games for the Juneau aggregation, and re- ceived splendid support from Mc- Queen and Kletzing. Henderson played for the last ten minutes, but did not get much chance to prove his ability,
 Wrangel lined up Dalgity and Lynch, forwards; Sylvester, center; c. Lewis and Coulter, guards. The A. B. line up was Burford and Carl son, forwards; Mathews, center; Me Yueen and Kletzing, guards.
