DROVE OVERHEARD
Automobile Truck Driver Plunges Over
Naval Academy Sea Wall

Bernard Engelke, an automobile
truck driver, employed by the Miller
Construction Company at the Naval
Academy, made a narrow escape from
a serious accident yesterday after
noon.
Engelke was in the act of tanking
up with gasoline, and had his truck

located He was told to come a lit

deavoring to get closer the automo-

Health In Cooler Houses.


eff every family will reduce the
temperature of its house at least five
degrees, il will mean that millions of
tons of coal will be saved and the
health of the nation will be improved.
This is not q hardship; il is a health
measure, for most Americans live in
superheated houses.
The coal supply can be conserved
by more economical methods of fir
ing. by sitting ashes, by watching the
furnace door and by heating only the
parts of the house in use. To do this
is a public duty If the householders
of the country save one ton out OF
twelve they save 100000 tons Of
coal. The Bureau of Mines States
that many plants waste as much as
90 per cent of the coal they buy
through unscientific firing and made
quate equipment.
Immediate changes to efficient
equipment are in many cases impos-
sible just now when our need to save
is greatest, but efficient firing and in
telligent effort on the part of all
power plant operators to do the best
they can with the equipment they
have, Guild mean an enormous saving
that would make the coal situation
safe instead of critical.
Solution Lies With People.
THE opportunity here for business
mems organizations throughout the
country to cooperate with the state
and local fuel administrators now be-
ing appointed, is obvious. 1t is the
patriotic duty of every manufacturer
to consider the problem of scientific
firing and to see that his firemen are
properly instructed Advice and in
formation can be had for asking from
the Bureau of Mines, which has made
etensive Investigations of the whole
subject of scientific coal using.
The solution of the coal problem
lies largely with the American peo-
pie. The government cannot save
coal for them; they must save it for
themselves. They must not rely
wholly upon price-iixing, nor upon
the already overtaxed transportation
system of the country, nor upon the
apportionment of coal, nor upon the
enforcement of the law. All must CO.
operate The consumer Of coal in
house and factory can cooperate most
effectively by the economies sug-
gested."

CANTEEN SERVICE
THE RED CROSS
Only Small Portion Of National Army
Has Yet Gone To The
Cantonments.

Canteen service of the Red Cross
for members of the National Army
and National Guard as they travel 10
the environments is-being enthusiast
tically welcomed by the troops as
sembling at mobilization points ana
al functions and waitovers. Reports
received by Foster Rockwell, Di-
rector of Canteen Service. from many
chapters which have been serving
light refreshments TO the detachments
passing through their towns, show
the appreciation and enthusiasm OF
the troops.
At Washington, ID. c., where the To-
cal chapter has been serving as high
as 10000 cups of coffee in day 10
the troops passing through. the sol
diers leaned out of the car windows
when they saw the Red Cross uni
forms and gave an extemporized but
spirited Red Cross cheer. From all
parts of the country comes the same
story-the soldiers fully understand
the meaning of this patriotic service
of the women of the Red Cross.
Only a small proportion of the Ma
tional Army has as yet gone into the
environments. and the heavier work
of the Red Cross canteen service Is
still ahead. But most of the chapters
have the work fully organized, and
feel themselves equipped TO meet
whatver emergency may develop
The Red Cross canteen service
hopes to keep the Red Cross uniform
conspicuous in railroad buffets ana
restaurants all over the country
while the troops are moving. me
canteen service uniform for women
consists of a white apron and DID,
with a red cross on the front of the
bib, and a Red Cross cap. The male
workers wear a lapel badge of white
ribbon with a red cross and the ie-
gend "Canteen Service.
Railroad officials are authorized
through the War Department to daily
inform Red Cross chapter heads OF
the local movement of troops.
Besides supplying refreshments TO
the soldiers going through, canteen
service workers perform many other
little services for their convenience,
such as mailing letters or postcards.
The interest which the women OF the
country have thus been able to show
directly, through the canteen service.
has made a profound impression, and
has given the soldiers new heart and
fresh spirit, because they realize that
the women of the whole nation are
personally sponsors for their comfort
and welfare.
Relatively simple as this activity of
the Red Cross canteen service may
seem to be, it typifies at this moment,
as no other thing does, the national
spirit that is back of the Red Cross.

Through the Chamber of Commerce
OF the United States, DR.. H. a. Gar
field, fuel administrator, has appealed
to American business to assist in the

dustrial plant will save 10 per cent
of the coal it uses, which 10 per cent
ii now wastes. the coal problem will
be largely solved There is plenty of
coal in the ground, but there is a
shortage of cars and of labor at the
mines.

PRETTY AND ECONOMICAL
TALLY CARDS FOR BENEF

In making plans for large card
party for the benefit OF the Red
Cross, when it was necessary to save
expense in little things in order TO
make a showing in the net pro-
ceeds. a Red Cross chapter used this
novel scheme for tallies:
For 20 cents they bought half a
roll Of wall paper, in a floral design

though many designs suitable for
children's rooms would supply
pleasing effects in the figures. They
cut out the baskets in the evening.
The children helped with the CIT

ups. Each contributed from her
store Of baby ribbon for tying bows
on the handles. Soon there were
ready tallies for 40 tables as dainty
and pretty as could be imagined.

Charm Of Good Taste is Simplicity

NEW YORK. oct. 27.-There is a
kind Of breathless interest, here in
New York. over the battle of the
hustle and the straight silhouette.
Today, one IS sure that the long
skirt and tunic, in other words the
straight silhouette, is triumphant:
tomorrow, there may be seen so
many charming examples of the
hustle frock, both on the street and
on the stage, that one thinks it
surely will be accepted. However.
piece dress and the frock with the
long tunic seem to be the favorites.

ferred. this, too, may have bead

or in those of various harmonizing

Blue velvet bags are also popular
and they may be adorned with bro
caded silks or velvets, used as inser-
tions or by beading. on these bags,
the small steel beads show off 10 ex-
cellent advantage.
Any color, in fact, is used for

of fur on suits and coats. Shawl
collars, made of angora or brushed
wool are considered very modish.
Ball trimmings. crocheted in bright
colors, and round fiat flowers of
wool embroidery, can be used both
for hats and dresses. Just think
how smart you can be, with very
little effort on your part, if you can
knit or crochet and can spare the
time from the dull-gray and olive
drab sweaters you are turning out
by the wholesale for the sailor and
soldier boys! The work goes quick

very effective.

After all, there is nothing that
can take the place Of the coat suit,

soft wooden materials. it can be

trimmed, just as it pleases you. The

seem 10 be returning TO that year for

they have been. The much-talked-

very much the same. II course,
there are small changes. and big

there is no reason why the Ameri-
can designers should not be the best
judges Of the styles most becoming
and appropriate TO the American
woman. The slightly fitted waist,
not unlike the first form of the
basque. has a piquant charm when
combined with the tunic that is
longer in the front than the back.
and the ankle-length skirt. 1t is
truly the costume of the lady. and
the Illustration here shows some Of
the newest features of this style.
The points of the waist are weighted
with balls and chains in the form Of
amber beads. The beads are used
instead of a tie, too. coming from
under the collar. The velvet of the
dress falls in charming folds, and
the pointed collar and deep cuffs are
Of heavy satin. Needless to add that
this is a costume of those occasions

And Now Wool Trimmings.
From Paris, uncensored, comes
the report of something new in the
trimming line! The vogue for knit
ting and crocheting has revived so
much interest in that interesting art
that a new fad has sprung up. Wool
trimmings are used on everything,
from the simple serge dress to the
more elaborate afternoon costume.
There are bands for hats, belts, sail
or collars and cuffs, all in shades
soft or brilliant, as the occasion de-
mands. These trimmings are even,
