Clan Plaids Are Liked
For Autumn Wear

Recently the shop windows have
been frightened by the exploitation
of tartan plaids. suggesting the MAX
Ing of separate skirts, of simple frocks
or the Innings for coats of velveteen,
corduroy or even of fine cloth.
For the most part the designs are
dull and rich and should combine ex-
cellently with jackets of velvet for
the making of the sports suit for au-
tumn. In the shops, too. are noticed
many attractive dresses trimmed SIM
ply with shawl collars of, satin, pat
ent leather belts and with skirts
slightly draped below the hips. Sew

down the back with satin or metal
buttons.

Chic Phases of
War Relief Work
BY LUCILLE CAMERON.

Carrying a gay knitting bag Of yell
low cretonne on which were Just
myriads of blue birds and bright col
ored fruits was a little maid whose
roguish black eyes and dazzlingly
white skin were accentuated by her
clear suit of greenish gray worsted
with an odd button-in-the-back effect
carried out with big green buttons.
From a turban of gray plumage there
few two little green wings.
A charmingly gracious matron
whose smile seems to come right
from her heart appeared in an ex-
tremely good looking suit of plum
colored velour with a large collar
and flaring cuffs of natural taupe
beaver. Her tricorne Of plum velvet
was decorated with several small
ostrich feathers. A veil of delicate
black Chantilly was completing
touch together with a high stock and
jabot of ecru filet.
The delicate features and great
spirituelle eyes OF a wonderful French
woman who is known for her work
in the huge war zone hospitals ap-
peared to advantage in a lovely gown
Of delicious beige velvet draped close
IL to the figure and graced with a
collar and cuffs of black fox. Her
wide brimmed hat Of black panne was
without trimming save for halolike
rim of fine black feathers.
Showing several girl friends the
newest knitting stitches at a recent
tea was a blithe eyed demoiselle
whose bright chestnut locks and pure
ly chiselled profile were reminiscent
of a rare type of Gallo beauty. Her
frock of black satin was gifted with
a low round Renaissance neckline and
long tight sleeves. White satin bands
braided in black soutache and long
silk tassels furnished effective dec
orative relief.
A leader of the residential set who
is very active in Red Cross work was
attired in a frock of heavy smoke
toned Tokay crepe with a surplice
bodice with wrapped around the waist
and tied in black Gilt braid was COM
bined with qaint orange toned but
tons to form clever decorative bands
which were used sparingly on the
tunic and bodice. The crown of a
large black velvet chapeau was COW
cred with metallic broche with a gold
note predominating.
A pretty member of the younger set
who was doing her bit of war re-
lief work by accompanying a dark
young French officer at a recent mat
inee, wore a quite enchanting and
unusual coat of silver maple green
serge with a big cape collar finished
with a narrow band of beaver. A
piquantly posed hat of the beaver
crowned its owners fyaway dark
curls.

HOROSCOPE.
Wednesday, October 81. 1917.


This is not an important day in
planetary direction. according to as
trology. While Jupiter is in benefic
aspect Uranus and Mars are adverse
There is a sign read as presaging
explosions that are unexpected and
these are to take place in many wide
ly separated localities, according tc
the seers.
Bankers and brokers should benefit
today, but they have a rule that seems
to presage anxieties and losses.
The stars are read as threatening
more than one large industry OF
financial organization hitherto power
full in the financial world.
Owing to planetary influences judg.
ment may be greatly clouded in the
minds OF persons easily swayed by
emotion. Criticism and abuse of lead
ers in war and State are presaged by
the stars.
Unrest and Righteousness may de.
velop among the people during the
next few weeks, but the stars seem
to give assurance that the winter
will not bring serious bloodshed
among American troops.

power of Uranus which deceives con-
corning true motives, sowing suspicion

The month of November will be
marked by new peace. agitation, avia-
ton accidents, many marriages and

seers predict.
Mars in the sign of Virgo will afflict
Turkey so grievously that the nation
will suffer beyond restoration, astrol-
ogers declare.
Some sort Of a hospital scandal
which will awaken the public to a new
anxiety has been prognosticated.
Prosperity for those who are neither
rich nor poor is indicated by the stars,
for the extremes of the economic scale
will suffer loss and privation in the
coming months.
Deaths among distinguished men
and women will increase In number
during the next few weeks.
Persons whose birthdate II is should

which may be rather critical.

MOHAVE COUNTY MUST FURNISH
 8l MEN UNDER DRAFT SYSTEM
Governor Campbell Wires Local Board to Call Up First Quota For Examination Which Will Be 162 Men First Drawn in Washington Last Friday

Mohave county must furnish S1 sol- diers under the selective drawing made last Friday, according to official in structions from Gov. Thomas E. Campbell today. In conformity there with, the local exemption board will summon 162 men or twice the quota to appear within the next few days for examination. As soon as the of ficial figures are received from the war department, notices will be sent out to the men called.
 One third of the number, or 54, must appear within five days after the notices are posted; one third, six days after; and one third not later than seven days after the notices are sent out. The official list of numbers is expected the latter part of this week and some time next week the mer called must report.
 It has been the general opinion that only A men would be required from this county. Adjutant General Harris at Phoenix recently wired the Daily Miner that that number would repre- sent this county's quota of fighting men. It was thought that the gross quota of this county was only about so men and that by being given credit for the number enlisted in the regular army and the First Arizona, this coun-

BISBEE BOY IS BACK
 FROM FRANCE ID DIE
fFrom saturday,s DaiIy MInerl

BISBEE, Ariz., July 28. - Delbert Perry, former Bisbee boy, has return ed to this region of the country to die. He was taken to the home of his parents at Lewis Springs, hope less victim of tuberculosis, contracted while serving with the Canadian ex- peditionary forces in France.
 Perry is well known in the Warren district. Until the latter part of 1914 he was employed at the J. M. Ball drug store. He became interested in the Mexican revolutions about that time and joined the forces of General Benjamin Hill, the Carranza com mander who defended Naco, in the fall of 1914, against the onslaught of Jose Maytorena and his Yaqui hosts.
 After his campaign with Hill, Perry went to Canada and enlisted with the Canadian oversea forces. He went to England and then to France and serv- ed for many months there.
 At last he contracted tuberculosis and was invalided back to Canada and thence to his home in Arizona. The physicians say he has a short time to live.
 Undoubtedly Perry feels that he has lived long and seen much already.
