It is hard to know which kind of bag is most important this year, for we use bags for so many different purposes. For the woman who is in terested in knitting. knitting bag Is highly suitable. For the young girl who likes to have the novel thing al ways al hand. one of the new shopping bags Is acceptable. And for anybody 5 handbag of some sort may safely be planned.
 Of course, the value in your bag lies in having them made of material in which the coloring is good. Really, the material itself does not matter half so much as the color. For the handbag a heavy and expensive silk is of course, desirable, but unless this shows good colors it is not so attrac- tive as a far cheaper fabric in better hue, If you have on hand some fine old bit of brocade of other good ma terial you might try dyeing it some rich shade-there are good shades of blue, violet, green and Burgundy that harmonize with other colors-and making it into a handbag or knitting bag for Christmas for the friend who likes unusual things. A bite of duii gilt braid or cord with tassels might be well combined with this dyed fab rie In this year whe,l thrift is al .
 
 surely give it's maker as much satis- faction as it would it's recipient-its maker because it utilizes some fab ric already on hand. it's recipient, be : cause 1t showed care and taste in it's making.
 Many of the shopping and knitting bags combine fabrics of two colors For these it is possible to use rem nants. The new bags are made Of many different materals-challies in wool or cotton, silk or cotton crepe cretonne, chintz, brocade. velours printed linen and silk, plain striped or figured.
 For shopping and knitting bags It is possible to buy big metal frames that clasp shut, like the frame of A leather handbag. The silk is formed into bag and fitted into these frames with most attractive results.

 Moonshiners Use Magic" to Escape From Officers

Sheehan and a posse after party of moon sinners had been surrounded at night in a farmhouse 12 miles south oe Dothan.
 Deputy Marshal Sheehan who had taken up position at the rear of the house. located a still in smoke e- house Finding the door locked he went around to the front to get Sher- If John May to come and break the door open. When the two returned the door was already open and the Nstill had disappeared. Only pile of hot ashes remained for spells.
 About this time another deputy, who had been left in an automobile to watch the road, raised an alarm as three men in their night clothes made off through the bushes with several jugs of rum.

Has the War Any Real Influence Upon Dame Fashion

are some very stunning models shown in the long -waisted "Moyen Age" type, which always has and always will be one of the most unbecoming and unpopular styles ever created.
 Women who have luxuriated in furs, will be distressed beyond expression when they realize how they have increased in price. Tn fact, furs are so outrageously high-priced that garments which last sea- som had deep bands of handsome fur as a trimming with cuffs and collar to match, now have only a slight bit of fur just to relieve the plainness of the gown.
 The main point, however, about the whole fashion situation this season is that the styles are unbecoming and diff ferent and women are not tempted.
 Of course, this is all the result of the melancholy war, but women are just women after all, and if the fashions don't appeal to them they are not going to be interested in them and are not going to put out their good money on buying things they don't want.
 A woman was heard to remark the other day:
 I'd just like to go to China and wear the Chinese garb until this fearful war is over. The whole thing just takes the life out of a body when it comes to buy ing clothes. We are simply not inter- ested, that's all, and if we were we wouldn't like the style. On account of the war conditions surrounding us, the apparent utter lack of interest on the part of the creators of fashions for won- en, to be very noticeable, they seem to be disarmed-not up to the notch, de- pressed and disheartened."

Musical Circles Much Inter- ested in New Philhar-
 monic Orchestra

New enthusiasm among younger members of Birmingham's musical set is being shown in regard to the recent ly organized Philharmonic orchestra here, which plays each Sunday after noon at the community sings at Capi- tol park. Since the organization of the new orchestra and the announce ment that amateurs who can show tho proper qualifications will be allowed to play at the sings with the profes- sionals, Philip Memoli, director of the orchestra, has had many applications for membership.
 Isaac Chamblee, violinist, who has been spending the summer in St Louis taking lessons in violin under Hugo Ok, director of the St. Louis Sym phony orchestra. which has given concerts here, will play with the Phil harmonic orchestra at the sing next Sunday. and several other local ama- teurs will make their first appearance with the orchestra then, it has been announced.
 The orchestra has been growing steadily since its organization and it Is expected that when 1t renders the special numbers next Sunday after- noon it will have more musicians than have been heard in it thus far. Mrs.

 A glimpse behind the scenes" before the fall fashions are formally exhibited, shows that the creators of fashion for the season of 1917-1S have had in mind the greatest simplicity and the greatest care in the modelling of dame fashion 5 whims; skirts are narrower, also shorter; coats are shorter; sleeves are tighter-in fact, there Is a curtailing in evey direction, economy of material and economy of la bor being the real cause.
 The only thing that dame fashion has dared to tamper with while the war is staring us so forcibly in the face Is the waist line She probably thinks that wouldn't harm gnat-to shift it about here and there, with no appreciable effect except to make us change our short waisted frocks of last year into normal lines. If there is a tendency to make a deviation in the waist line, it is for the safe and sane normal line, although there

IHl Dame Fashion7
 ~ = This question is easily an-
 swered; it undoubtedly has; more per
 haps than we realize.
 In the first place, if we keep abreast ,of the times, we know that there will be great difficulty in obtaining certain ma-
 terials this season and the greatly in creased cost of getting others; there is the difficulty of creating fashions in America when we've always depended upon Paris Vienna and the rest to do this for us; from these we practically get nothing during grim-visaged war times.
 But above and beyond all these diffi- culties there is the psychological effect of the war; women are thinking about much bigger and more important things than ''wherewithal shall we be clothed;" they are interested in matters of wider and more serious moment than they have been in seasons gone by; and conspiou- ously or unconsplcuously these things iu- fluence their choice of clothes; in fact, rather put them in the position of being more discerning about what they wear.
 Time was when q recrudescence of in- terest in things military meant regu- lar outbreak of military fashions the like children wanted to "dress up;" to be part of the play, and so there were military bralds, military caps military capes, and all the. rest of the things a la militaire; but now, alasl things are beyond the play stage; it has all come right home to us; many have already sent those they love best to the front; others are preparing the sad sac rifice and the whole soul of the nation is tense with anxiety and watchful wait Ing; frivolity is certainly not in tune with the times and so our women are likely to be very simply dressed, more lignified, more sober, than ever before this season.
 Not that our interest in the bigger things is going to swamp our natural love of beauty, but that very taste is going to make us see that the dress suitable to the period, is one which while becom-

BAGS FOR CHRISTMAS

If you would like to specialize and give only a few sorts of gifts on Christmas you could surely make no better choice than bags. For some sort of bag is almost sure to meet the wants of all of your friends.
 Of course, 1t is rather premature to plan Christmas gifts now, but from long and bitter experience most of us know that the last few weeks before Christmas when it really seems log ical to think of Christmas gifts arc too full of social and charitable ac- tivities and the last minute holiday preparations to leave much time for the making of gifts

N. Y. STATE SENATOR
ACCUSED OF TREASON

Albany, N. Y, March ga reso-
luton summoning Mayor Mitchell, of
New York. to the bar of the senate
to explain grounds for his allegation
that Democratic Leader Robert F.
Wagner was aiding Germany by de-
laying the Rockaway fertilization
site bill, was introduced today by Ser-
ator Wagner. Consideration was de-
ferred until Monday night at the re-
quest of the introducer.
Senator Wagner, who was born in
Prussia, and came to this country at
the age of eight years, said;
The mayor of the city of New
York has given to the press a state
ment in which he makes against
me the vilest and most serious charge
that can be made against an American
citizen. | denounce this charge as
wickedly and astrociously false and
known to him to be false"
The matter has stirred Legislative
circles almost as much as in the DAYS
preceding the impeachment of Gov
ernor Sulzer in 1918.
