Start the Parade Earlier!

When the parade in honor of the Dis
trict's quota Of men chosen for the Ma
tional Army was proposed It promised
to be but small affair, comprising a
few thousand marchers. The hour was
set for the start at o'clock, with ap-
parent assurance that ample time would
be afforded before darkness to allow the
full passage Of the line. But the idea
has so gripped the public imagination
that the parade enrolment has swelled
until veritable army will assemble TO-
morrow to march, and with the best Of
management it will not be possible to
move the line before dark. The hour Of
starting should be changed, to o'clock,
which will give ample time for the pro-
cession TO pass in review before dinner.

facts presented or by the arguments
based upon them. Big business must

Labor and War.

American labor. in whose honor this

the United States may, win the war INTO

and reduced to impotence. The evil e.

to some extent. Fortunately the mass
of the American workingmen are aware
of the fact that this organization IS not
truly representative of labor IN this
country.
Never before were the workingmen of
the United States so far advanced in

work Of citizens. They are fully aware
Of the importance Of the contest into
which the United States has been
drawn They appreciate perfectly the
danger that lies in the German menace

Notes

The first good news is that the
wear-resisting serge dresses are to
be the fashion this fall. And says
the DRY Goods Economist" the
leading journal and authority:
The practical woman and the fashion
able woman will come nearer TO the same
standard in dresses this fall than ever be-
fore. Whether the garment is high or
medium priced. the style is simple. In fact.
sensible styles have been the big sellers
during the past month in the wholesale
market.
EQUALITY is another factor more uniform
than usual The inferior. snowy dress has
been discarded to a great extent and gar
ments Of good quality fabrics with little
trimming substituted. The use of quanti-
ties of embroidery. for instance, has dimin-
ished considerably"
