AT THE STYLE SHOWS
BY LUCILLE CAMERON.

Decollete is gazed upon with just
bit of disfavor in these war times.
But a frock of white broche which is
being displayed by a piquant black
eyed little mannequin at a local style
show. solves the problem most hap
PLY. The dress proper is cut decol-
lete, oh! very much so. but silver
maline is then draped high to the
usual collar line and edged with a
discreet band OF brown fur. Long
vamped slippers of silver fabric COM
plete the picture.
A copy Of an evening gown designed
for the wife of the President OF
France is being shown in the Fair
fax room" of the Willard. 1t is made
of white silk embroidered with spray
ing clusters of Watteau flowers. and
is gifted with a bodice and narrow
square train OF dull blue panne. Most
striking of all We're the shoulder
straps OF tailless crmine.
Just to show how demure she could
look. a petite. big-eyed model came
in wearing n most decorous little
frock of misty gray Georgette with
d uOLtn DdHuS VI
chinchilla encircling the skirt and h
luscious pink rose tucked in the belt.
Long sleeves of the Georgette, very
wide at the hand. and the new fence
collar line were intresting details.
Incendie red Is the newest and most
Partisan of tints. When you see an
evening wrap of chiffon velvet in this
shade banded desultorily with soft
brown fur, with long pointed ends of
the velvet almost touching the ground
at either side, the effect is really
irresistible. No matter what the price
is, you just have to buy it. At least
that was the case of a well-known
Washington woman of the haut monde
the other day.
Especially adapted to the statues
que blonde type was an evening gown
Of black velvet. cut extremely decol-
lete and draped on long slenderizing
lines. with just a suggestion Of the
hustle silhouette. A length Of black
and emerald green tulle was caught
at the shoulders and attached casually
to either wrist. Accompanying this
gown was a truly impressive wrap
OF DlaCk DrOCne WITH Dig SILVER IB uTeS
which was lined with naughty cerise
velvet that also formed the collar
and cuffs.
ANY unfortunate, snubbed little
"sub-deb'' would rejoice in the pos
sion Of a turquoise blue taffeta frock
with an overdress and sleevs Of sill
very maline both of which terminate
in perfectly thrilling bands of soft
gray fur.
A svelte. blond mannequin displayed
a most impressive evening gown OF
deep blue velvet draped with the
skill OF the true artistic and without
even an apology for a sleeve. A
narrow pointed train of blue velvet
was detached so that the dress might

Too Much Meat or Too Little.

Too much meat is as bad for the
body as too little. During the d.
gestion OF meats. FISH and eggs acids
are formed.
In order to prevent the accum-
mutation of too much acid in the
system 1t is necessary to eat also
fresh vegetables and fruits. which
have properties that neutralize the
acids formed by the meat.
This is one reason why meat and
potatoes are usually served togeth-
er. 1t is safer to have too little
meat than to eat too little fruit
and too few vegetables.

THE Mothers Aid is not pension
nor is it ordinary poor relief. 1t is in
tended for mothers who are above re-
proach morally and who are in every
way fit and capable to bring up thelf
children TO be good citizens. TINS
board is seeking to maintain the high
standard set by the law and aims to
place the rather small amount OF
money appropriated by the Legislature
for Mothers Aid purposes in the homes
of women Of unsullied regulations, good
managers and who are able to train
and discipline their children wisely
Other dependent mothers who require

trated the need of definite rules. The
excellent condition of most of the no
tells showed the possibility of general
regulations governing all Of them.
The rules as drawn up by the State
Department of Health cover such
points as general cleanliness, food, cold
storage, screening, garbage disposal,
infectious food handlers, clean rooms
and linen, water supplies, privies and
ventilation.
The action of the hotel men in for
mally adopting a high standard Tor
their hotels and in approving a plan
for hotel inspection has now to be fol-
lowed by a report of the matter to the
Public Health Council and to the Gov
ernor and Council. If the Governor
and Council approve the rules and
regulations they will have the effect
Of law. The state department Of
health expects to be in position to
take up the work of hotel inspection in
the spring. 1t will issue certificates to
all hotels meeting the requirements.
Lead Poisoning.
Cases Of chronic lead poisoning in the
State have again called attention to
the dangers of using lead piping, &C
cording to the State Department OF
Health. Every year from $50 to 1Io
samples of water sent to the laborator-
les of the State Department contain
lead. Maine waters in general are
more corrosive than the waters of
some states and they have greater
tendency to dissolve the piping.
There are two features of lead poi
soning that often surprise the users of
well water. One is the sudden appear
ance of considerabl lead in the water
when practically none has appeared for
years. The other is the fact that some
persons will be affected by the lead
while others do not seem to be suscep
tible. The danger, nevertheless, is al
ways present for the users Of water
which comes through lead pipe.

recommended to Governor Carl E. Mil

pointment has been much in the lime
light recently owing to the fact that
Miss Marion Murphy Of the Portland

vigorous campaign for the position
and had received strong support

Rumors have been current through
the State that there was a possibility
that Gov. Milliken might close the
public schools through the severe
weather in order to conserve fuel,
making up the lost time in the sum-
mer months. No confirmation of or
foundation for this rumOr can be
found. Both Lewiston and Auburn

MOTHERS AID
AND ITS NEEDS

Secretary James f. Bagley of the
Maine State Board of Charities and
Corrections. which also constitutes the
Maine State Board Of Mothers Aid.
when asked as to the progress being
made in the application of the law
passed by the Legislature at its last
session for the assistance of mothers
with dependent children, said:
We'll we are finding just about the
condition that we expected when we
We're working for the passage of the
measure through the Legislature and
also what the members of the Legisia-
ture did not seem to expect that we
would find-that the lack of sufficient
appropriation would and is delaying
the operation of the law. The entire
work was put upon the board, without
additional appropriation FOR the in
crease in the work and we are now eX-
periencing a delay in investigating the
scores of cases presented for our con-
sideration and thus delaying the opera
ton of the law in, perhaps, some
worthy applications.
But, be that as it may. we are maxi
ing progress with the Mothers Aid
work and numerous worthy mothers
with dependent children are benefiting
through the law.
Zone thing we are finding, that is
not exactly pleasing to the board and
that is a tendency on the part of some
OF the local boards to be reluctant to
set up any definite character for the
mother and they are not as explicit as
they should be to a question such as
the following, which is on the blank
that starts the investigation:
THE appearance of her home IS.
In our opinion she is - a fit and
capable person to bring up her chil-
dren and the inmates and surround
ings of her household are --- such
as to render it suitable for her children
to reside at home"
The law is plain and emphatic that
a woman to receive the Mothers Aid
from the State shall be fit and capable,
mentally, morally and physically to
bring up the children and that the sur
rOundings shall he proper.
They also hesitate about going into
the financial needs of the mothers ap-
plying for aid, one very important mat
ter of consideration about each case.
The question on that point is:
Under all the circumstances, con-
sidering her own resources and the
ability of any member of her family to
contribute to her support. the posi-
hility Of receiving aid from other rela-
tives, individuals, agencies, or child
welfare organizations, and the posi-
bility Of compelling contributions of
any persons under legal obligation so
to do the applicant is in need
of aid under the provisions of the act
entitled An act to provide for mothers
with dependent children
80. there we are again. back to our
first statement, we are without the
funds and the time necessary for the
Investigations is 50 great in each that
we are sadly behind. If the local
boards would investigate and report to
MS, as they are requested and sup
posed to do it would relieve us of
much work and enable more mothers
to benefit by the provisions of the law.

matter and in my letter | have said:

We were ASKED
NOT TO PUBLISH
.IT--WHY DID YOU?

The following paragraph appeared in
the Tuesday edition of the Bath Times:
The Times scooped the State Mon
day night in the announcement that
the last quota for the present draft
would be called for military service
today Not an evening paper in the
State had the news which the Times
displayed on its first page and some
of the morning papers have no an
nouncement of the fact.
The kennebec Journal reporter, to-
gether with the representatives of 9TH
er papers, was informed of the action
by the provost marshafs office and
each was requested not to publish it,
following out the line Of war precau-
lions being taken to protect the men.
1t seems needless to inquire why any
of tho papers DID publish it,
