PLAN SIMPLER DRESS STYLES
TO SAVE THE WOOL SUPPLY.

The Council Of National Defense
authorizes the following:
Patch pockets, flaring skirts,
cuffs on coats and trousers, long
sack coats, unnecessary pleats and
other frills will be eliminated from
the 1918 styles if some suggestions
made yesterday 1T . meeting Of re-
representatives. wooden and worsted
manufacturers with the Commercial
Economy Board Of the Council Of
National Defense are made effec-
tive. No effort will be made
to discourage the sale of goods made
up in existing styles. On the con-
trary, the Commercial Economy
Board and the manufaes urers with
whom it has conferred are unani-
mously of the opinion that such q
more would lead to . depjorariA
waste Of garments already manu-
factured. Whatever campaign Is
launched will be confined to next
years output
The results Of yesterdays confer
ence were purely preliminary, and
involved only = general approval Of
.he principle Of encouraging all
, wooden manufacturers to cut d9vE
the number Of styles Of fabrics
| simplifying the weaving of cloth
the simplification of models Of gar
merits to avoid wasting cloth sct
reducing the number Of models. An
other proposed number Of economic
| ing is the more general mixing o.
cotton with wool. In accordance viii
| . resolution adopted by the confer
ence, the Commercial Econom!
Board will seek to reach all manu-
facturers, chiefly through the manu-
| facturers' association, and secur
their cooperation in the plan. Way
and means Tor carrying it into effec
have yet to be perfected, but as tn
styles for next spring are expecte
to be determined within the nez
two weeks the board hopes to secur
Immediate action on its prograI
| from the designers. The board WI
| have another meeting to conside
the problem.

Registration May Far

Try Are Sill Registering
No Sympathy Shown to
Shikers

Washington, June S.-The
mighty roll Of honor Of Amc, can
manhood began to reach Washing
ton tonight from the states that had
completed their count of the men Of
military age registered yesterday
At a late hour only few complete
reports had been received, but pre-
liminary unofficial returns were SUI
ficient to show that millions Of men
await the call to arms.
The official figures were too
scant for an accurante estimate OF
the total Of the men who have regis
tered. The first reports showed that
the Census Bureau estimates Of ELI
gibles had not been equalled, but
officials pointed out that the num-
bers by which one or two cities
alone had exceeded the estimates
would wipe out the entire deficiency
of the several smaller states send
ing in the first official returns.
In some of the cities registration
still was in progress today, the at
torney general having approved the
action of Provost Marshal General
Crowder in authorizing IN exten-
sion of time where cards were lack
ing or where the registration ma
chinery proved inadequate to it,

LET'S BUILD WHILE WE FIGHT

Americans have . habit Of quit
ting and crowding around when IN
accident occurs. The case in point Is
the worlds accident in Europe. -
We are in danger Of losing our
heads and stopping work. while the
conflict is on. This would be . ser
ious happening but, happily, every
American can help to prevent it
without adding to the noise and con-
fusion Of going to war.
The only thing necessary is to 60
quietly on in attending to our own
business.
While our naval and military
forces are Fastening to the front to
destroy agencies and obstacles that
seek to impede our growth, it is es-
septial that we redouble our con-
s.ructive efforts at home.
We can both build and fight and
~e ought to seize upon this advan-
age as the greatest opportunity
created by the war.
Let both public and private use
full building construction proceed.
Production and handling Of building
materials and public and private con-
struction work and fundamental in
dustries Of the country. ANY tenden-
cy to suspend or postpone building
projects is inconsistent with main
tanning our prosperity. The country
is prosperous. Building investors
should not hesitate to go ahead will.
their plans. Railroads should spare
no efforts to supply the building in
dustry with the cars needed to
transport materials. Government,
state, county and municipal authori-
ties should encourage the continu-
ance of building. Road and street
improvements in particular should
go on unabated. Bad roads and
streets are factors Of first impor.
:ance in the present high cost Of
foodstrffs. Never before was the
improve, ,cnt of highways 50 essen
tial.
The lumber, brick, cement, lime
sand, gravel, stone and other build
ing material industries are basic
Neither Government regulations mol
railroad restrictions should be un
necessarily imposed to in*erfer'
with them. If any action is takel
which results is the prostration o.
SO fundamentally important indus

When the commission under which
they hold Office for their present
terms expire they will not be obliged
to take civil service examinations in
order to hold their positions. Civil
service examinations are to be order
ed only to fill vacancies caused by
death, resignation or removal.
It is estimated that . postmasters
shall be put in much the same status
as consuls, who make the consular
service their life profession and who
are subject to transfer from one post
to another. Under the further devel-
opment of the plan the postmaster at
Columbus, Ohio, for instance, might
be sent to reorganize the postal SER
vice at Spokant, WASH, and trans
fers from one city to another may be-
come common.
It is said that some members of
congress are inclined to rebel at the
new condition, because of the fact
that it takes from them the distribu-
ton of patronage. But the order has
been signed and is in effect and it
will require a hard fight to change

Positions-May Be Trans
ferred to Other Cities

One hundred and twenty-nine Mon
tana postmasters have been removed
from the zone of political disturbance
and given life positions, subject to re-
moval by the postmaster general
when the efficiency of the service de-
mands that a change be made.
This sweeping order, which was ap-
proved by President Wilson, affects
all of the presidential postmasters in
Montana. There are in the state seven
postmasters of the first class, II Of
the second class and los of the third
class, all of whom receive a civil SER
vice status by this executive order.
Under the application of the order
presidential postmasters automatical-
ly come into possession of life jobs,
subject only to removal for ause.
