ECONOMIC COUNCIL MAY

Colonel House Announces That Body
Dealing With Supplies Will Be Dis
tinct From Military Group.
TO SIT WHERE WORK IS DONE
Much Directive Labor Can BE Done
In London, but Position Of New

More Advantageous.

WASHINGTON, November 25.-The
announcement by Colonel House that
an allied war council on economic prob
lens Will be formed Independent OF tho
military war council. on which he will
sit with General Bliss. may mean that
the economic council will sit in
America.
This contingency has been foresccn
here. both among American officials
and the members OF allied missions. for
some time. The declaration by Colonel
House that tho economic council Will
be separate from the military council
leads these men to-day to believe that
it would come here, where the bulk of
its business viii have to DO done
1t is recognized that tho military
council will have to DO as close to the
battle lines as possible. In the same
way the economic council. according to
belief here. will have TO be close TO its
problems. Its problems were outlined
by an official to-day AS follows:
l. To receive from tho military coun-
ell the plans for the use OF troops and
memoranda OF tho munitions and sup
plies that will be needed.
o TO locate tho munitions and sup
plies and get them to the spot where
needed
g. To arrange for paying the bills

1t was suggested In the cables re-
porting Colonel Houses account of the
economic council that this body will
sit in London While It is admitted
here that much directive work of value
can be 'dono in London. the position
even moro advantageous.
1t is believed that 1t Is to this con-
tingency that Lord Northcl!ne referred

United States directive powers must be
taken into consideration; there rs no
disposition on the part OF officials here

When the Feet Are Tired.

Those who are obliged to stand
while at work during the day will find
that the heavy, fatigued feeling in the
feet will be relieved by bathing the
feet night and morning with spirits OF
camphor, after first having washed the
feet with cold water and soap. Dur
ing the hot weather the feet will not
tire and 'fee1 like lead' If ones stock
ings and shoes be changed every day.
The entire weight Of the body rests
upon the feet, and the feet become
grooved, feel sore and ache unless they
are cared for and provision made to
change the pressure. This can be ac-
complished by merely changing the
stockings and shoes, if one has no op-
portunity to wash the feet during the
daytime.
If the feet are moist and inclined to
sweat, talcum powder or chalk busted
into the soles of the stockings will give
much comfort while one is obliged to
be on his feet.

orinin of Potato Ruas.

Potatoes blazed the way to the bugs,
which have proven our great and de-
structive pests. Potato bugs were
Colorado beetles and lived contentedly
on the sand bars of the plateau land
in that part of the country. The sand
bars, from botanical standpoint, are
distantly related to potatoes and when
civilization brought the potatoes to
the Colorado regions the bugs trans
ferred their attention and affection to
the tenderer and jucier vines. Then
the bugs quite rapidly followed the po-
tato zones toward the east, appearing
in Iowa in Civil war times, crossing
the Mississippi about 1864 and reach
ing New York and the New England
states in the '70's. In the early years
of it's eastward migration the potato
bug was considered as being deadly
poison, but a nearer acquaintance with
the pest dispelled this impression.

Her Saving

ayes, come in, Tom. I'd like to sit
down and rest a minute"
The bright-eyed girl in the doorway,
capped, aproned and broom In hand,
smiled invitingly to the young man on
the other side of the gate, who had
asked if he could enter. He followed
her into the house, and she dropped
YEARLY into chair.
"It isn't so much the work." she
went on, "but If / attempt to do a
little clearing out of corners and
throwing away rubbish, then mother
and I get on a war footing at once,
and there's great activity on the firing
line. I declare, she saves up all kinds
of truck, till we might as well start
a junk shop, and done with it."
Mrs. Bliss drifted into the room in
time to hear the latter remark, and re-
garded her daughter in goOd-natured
protest. Nodding to Tom Holmes, she
said:
II notice. Florry, you're pretty glad
some times to go to that junk for

die; you don't use it in ten years"
"Well, suppose l don't, when | do

saving the money, as it is the time it
takes to dress and go out to buy some
little thing you need and have to de-
lay what you're doing till you have
it. / noticed you were tickled to death
to find that cord, those little tassels,
and that brocade for your dress, and
that was more than eleven years DID,"
"Yes, | was" admitted Florry. 1T
gave just the touch I wanted, and |
couldn't have bought it in this little
town."

pots and are boon to the too-slender
woman. But blouses like those pic
tured, with open threats, are worn
with separate high collars and jabots.
The stout, matronly figure has a
dignity and style of its own, and, In
the clothes which modern methods
make for it, beauty of line as well.
There is a system of careful designing,
done by specialists in the work, that
has resulted in a new order of things.
These specialists adapt the new styles
to the figures of stout women, but hold
them to the "svelt" line, and if d new
style is incompatible with the svelt-
line, 1t is the style that ss sacrificed,
and not the line.

The shops continue to display
blouses-tailored and otherwise made
for late summer wear. Tailored mod
els are of crepe de chine and other
wash silks, while georgette crepe holds
its own first place for dressy wear.
The lingerie blOuses of fine white wolfe,
trimmed with narrow filet, cluny or lin
gerie lace, and further ornamented
with fine touches-used sparingly-
gains ground as midsummer nears.
This is a favorite, worn with white
wash skirts and with other separate
skirts for the street and sports. It
launderS to perfection, and the silk
blouses do almost as we'll, with careful
washing.
A blouse of white pussy willow tat
feta is one of the few tailored mod
els which is not uncompromisingly
plain. It has a very simple pattern on
the front wrought in small white and
blue beads. Except for this it is en-
tirely plain, relying for it's style upon
wide sailor collar and deep pointed
cuffs turned back at the wrists.
In the blouse Of georgette narrow
revers at the front widen into a collar
that is deep at the back and edged
with narrow f1let lace. Fine tucks, in
two groups, extend from the shoulder
seams to the line Of the bust and a
dainty pattern in silk embroidery fin
ishes the decoration. The sleeves are
gathered into deep plain cuffs and all
seams are hemStitched.
Among new arrivals there are few
blouses that fasten in the back. They

ward deed we're having so much excite

corners, / don't believe there's been
half-inch of space in our office that
hasn't been ransacked for that missing
paper"
Il didn't suppose lawyers ever lost
anything-but cases." said Florry.
"What is it?"
'Why, haven't you seen the big re-
ward in the newspapers? It's gone up
now from five hundred to fifteen hum
dred. The deed is an old one, but it
involves the ownership of all that
ground where the big Miles manufac-
turing plant stands. You see, my Of
fee, Myers and jerks, has had all the
Hazard papers in charge for years, and
they can't account for the disappear
ance of that deed. If it was stolen,
and we think it must have been, we
can't see the motive. Well, it's mys-
terry. But / just wish | could collar

The little woman shook her head
doubtfully. I'm afraid not" she
sighed.

kind of thing mother saves. It's not
likely to be anything worth fifteen
hundred dollars. Besides, I don't think
she was ever inside Myers and jerks
office, so she couldn't be accused OF
stealing it."
Tom Holmes laughed heartily at the
idea of the gentle-faced little woman
in the role of a robber, and declared
he couldn't imagine it even on the
screen. After she left the room, he
said, seriously: "Florry, do you know
what I'd do with that money if 1 got
that reward?"
Florry hadn't the remotest idea.
I'D buy that Spellman house. It's
going to be sold at auction next week,
and it will go cheap. If it was fixed
up bit, it would make a beautiful lit
tie house. I want it for you, Florry,

The stout woman must begin at the
beginning by having a corset that fits
and shapes up her figure. Then, if she
adopts scientifically designed clothes,
and has them perfectly executed, no
one will ever couple "ungainly" with
her figure, for it will have good lines
and style But in the new designing
nothing is left to chance; every line,
every button, every drapery-every-
thing is a matter Of study.
There are two good examples of sue
cessful cOstuming of the stout figure,
shown in the picture. In one Of them,
of plain satin and satin-Striped crepe
geOrgette, the designer takes advan-
tage of the newly arrived box-plaited
skirt to emphasize long, straight lines
in the costume. The plaits are narrow
and thoroughly pressed and the skirt
is set on to a bodice Of satin with
| long front and plaits at each side of
it. 1t fastens with row of small
satin-covered buttons set close to-
gether. In the over drape Of striped
crepe the satin stripe overlays the
| crepe stripe. Ihe DeIt OF pam Satln
slips through slashes in the straight
hanging drape and dips to lengthen the
waistline at the front. The upper
part of the sleeves, of the striped
crepe, falls over a deep, close-ftting
cuff of satin. Length of skirt is to be
determined by becomingness and not
sacrificed to styles that shorten the
figure.
This is noticeable in the suit shown
with a plain skirt cut ankle length.
The long lines Of the coat are almost
