Women Have Little Chance for

CARE IN BUYING NECESSARY
New Form of Oriental Skirt Now

New York.-The merry-go-round OF
fashion continues. Each of the great
centers where women's apparel is sold
reports an extremity Of business that
has caused the work people a loss of
sleep and threatened the heads of the
departments with a nervous collapse.
Naturally, women object to having
their gowns copied, and there is a
hubbub in the apparel world concern
ing the well established fact that the
gown which is imported at a cost of
$500 can be bought for $50 as a copy
at one of the ready-to-wear shops.
There is no remedy for this condi-
ton. The woman who insists upon
wearing models that are exhibited in
the early part Of the season must face
the fact that she is apt to be repeated
through the streets or at parties as
though she were gazing into maze of
mirrors.
There are experts who say that the
remedy for this condition lies In the
hands Of the American designers. They
say that If the latter will create hun
dreds Of gowns which are as agreeable

it is a very good thing to see every

choose the one which you like the best

CASE OF BROTHERLY LOVE
New King Of Greece Once Hurled
Challenge at Crown Prince, But
Latter Declined to Accept.

A good story Is told concerning the
new King Alexander of Greece, be-
tween whom and his elder brother,
Prince George, there is not, nor ever
has been, any love lost. One day
shortly after his fathers accession to
the throne a shoot was in progress on
the royal estates near Athens, and
during the luncheon hour q discussion
arose on ACCIDENTS at shooting par
ties.
mo man has ever peppered me in
mistake for pheasant" remarked
Prince George. "If anyone were fool
ish enough to do so I would shoot him
dead on the spot"
Shortly aftcrward, when sport had
been resumed, the crown prince felt a
shower of shot rattle round his gait
cred legs, and. turning in a fury to
find whence 1t proceeded. saw his
brother with q gun leveled In his di-
rection.

said Prince Alexander. "Will you

ssH0WY" FROCKS ARE BARRED
foeue for Simple, Dienified Dresses
Has Increased NotlceabIy Since
War Began.

Since women have properly inter-
oreted the war economy propaganda
and have realized that too rigid self
denial in the matter Of clothes is poor
patriotism but that extravaganza and
ashowy'' dressing is poor taste, the
vogue for simple, dignified frocks has
Increased noticeably.
One-piece tailored frocks are being
brought out In wide variety Of styles.
Silk, chenille and metal embroideries
appear on satin and on georgette and
plain fiat braids are being used in
large quantities on the wool fabric
dresses.
In the development Of dressy after
noon frocks, long straight lines are
most favored, although some side
draperies are seen. When draperies
are employed they are usually arranged
rather low at the sides, so the barrel
silhouette is avoided and the natural
line of the hips Is adhered to.
Considerable interest has been shown

Killed for Swallowed Coin,

A $40 gold piece which he had swal.
lowed is believed to have led to the
murder of the man whose mutilated
body was found in rooming-house in
Boston. The victim was identified as
Louis Caselli of New York city.
The police theory Is that Caselli and
three companions, said to be gunner,
were dividing the spoils Of robbery
in their room, when Caselli swallowed
the gold piece. The condition of the
body is believed to have resulted from
an attempt by Caselli's companions to
recover the coin. The medical examin.

Hats Of Irregular Habits.

Hat shapes do not seem to go round
and round in their ordinary way this

unexpected things. They start out In

tenant Paget gathered from his ram
bling words that he had lost his ship,
and had returned, the sole survivor,
in one of the ships boats, which he
had rowed for several hundred miles
across the stormy waters of the North
Atlantic.
But brought my specimen home
with me, lad" he exclaimed, clutching
at his companions arm. "Think Of
that, lad! She didn't want to eat.
They don't eat after they're mature,
Donald. That simplified matters con-
siderable. And so l brought her, and
got her safe to my home. Donald"
The old mans voice failed him. He
began muttering to himself absently
again. No doubt his terrible expert
ence had unhinged his brain. Lieu
tenant Paget had always known Mas
terman to be natural eccentric, but
never before had he talked like this
about the safety of humanity, and
some awfuI and imminent danger
which only he could avert. The lieu
tenant could see that the old mans
cheeks were sunken; his eyes were
wild, and under his long coat the
faded blue uniform was shrunken and
stained with sea water.
Lieutenant Paget felt we'll disposed
toward the whole world just then. He
had been summoned home from serv-
ice with the Atlantic fleet to receive
his commission as commander of the
F55. And Miss Ida Kennedy, the
daughter of the American consul gen.
! eral in London, whom he had met
there the year before, had written him
that she was sailing in company with
her aunt by the Beotia for New York.
At such time, when his profess
sional and personal interests were be-
ing served So we'll by fortune, Paget
felt that fate had played wretched
trick upon Masterman, whose lifework
had utterly failed Of recognition owing
to his defects Of temperament. Though
he was sure that the old sea captain
| was craZed, he admired him as q dar-
| ing seaman and an original genius Of
high order.
"My dear lieutenant, am extremely
glad to have met you. Nothing could
have been more Fortunate" said Mas
terman, recovering his equanimity
with suddenness thar surpri 3ed his
friend. "Can you find the time to
come into my club ana have a little
chat with me? It's the Inventors, but
they call 1t the 'Marcn Hares,' l be-
Aeve, because Of some of the queer
characters there. In fact, between

it for professional ressons-that is to

magazine, for the purpose Of getting
into touch with people who are inter-
ested in our projects. But it's queer
company, Paget, for common-sense
man like myself, with no nonsense
about him."
"A little trying, can imagine" Mas
terman," said Paget automatically.

MEET AGAIN AFTER 50 YEARS.
Two Old Vets Were Playmates as
 Boys, Comrades in War.

Sometime ago John A. McKinsey of Waters heard of a Capt. w. s. Gullett at Mansfield, La, and on making further inquiry found that Captain Gullett was none other than his boyhOod playmate in Lawrence county, Missouri, his school mate and later his comrade and captain Tn many a battle and skirmish and raid under that redoubtable caval- ny leader, Gen. Joe Shelby. They had not seen one another in fifty years, and when Captain Gullett was called back to Missouri recent ly by the sickness of a sister, he notified Mir McKinsey and request ed that he meet him in Mena on his return home. and the meeting took place Sunday.
 Captain Gullett is S4 years old, is hale and hearty, straight of form and clear of eye. He readily reads ordinary print without the aid of glasses Incidentally, he says he has never used coffee, tobacco nor liquor Mir. McKinsey is 8 years his junior, and also is we'll and strong. They are stopping in Mena with the latter's son, John McKin- sey, the snow and cold having pre- vented them from driving to Wa ters.
 Captain Gullett left for his home Tuesday night.

FIRE DFSTROYSA
 MUNITION PLANT
Loss Is Estimated at More Than Four Millions of D0Iiars-No Dead Are F0ud-0rigin Is
 Mystery.

New York, Jan. f2-The 80-acre ammunition plant of the Canadian Car and Foundry Company, near Kingsland, N. J., is a scared and blackened ruin today, swept by flames and ploughed by bursting shells. The fire which started there yesterday still smouldered in spots, and the iiremen who stood at a safe distance last night, watching the ex- plosion of a half million three and six-ineh shells, closed in on the ruins cautiously.
 There have been no official re- ports of loss of life.
 The loss, estimated at more than four million dollars, is accounted for almost entirely by the destruction of shells which the company loads at this plant for the Russian govern ment.
 Q rts of looting proved appar- antly unfounded Twenty-eight men arrested within the police lines were discharged this morning.
 Det0natiOns continued throughout the forenoon. Occasionally three inch shells exploded and frequently smaller ones and the police kept per some from anfarspo, ho Jonrror ,,5.,,,, Thousands of unexploded shellselay on the ground.
 On the chance that employees, in- jured and suffering from exposure might be lying on the Hackensack meadows, across which many fleeing persons made their escape police men in hip boots were detailed to go and make a search. It was consid- cred possible that a number of the persons reported missing might have drowned in the meadow streams.
 w. B. Hardness, superintendent of the munition works, said he believed there was no loss of life. He did not know how the fire started, he said, nor could he estimate the dam age.
 The hundreds of families which fled from Kingsland began their re- turn to their homes this morning. They entered a desolated village. Many of the houses were so shell riddled that they were not habitable. Many of those who ran for safety spent the night huddled uncomfort- ably in churches and schools.
 The shops of the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western Railroad in the vicinity of the munition plant were badly damaged.

COY. BROUCH FIRM
 ON LOCAL BILLS
Demands That 30 Days Preliminary Publication Re Given, Making Stand Clear Thru
 Supporter

Little Rock, Jan. Ex-Governor Brough's announced attitude toward local legislation was tested yester- day by one of his strongest support CTS in the house, Representative T. s. Osborne of Sebastian county.
 In his inaugural message the gov ernor said that no more patriotic service could be performed by the legislature than in refraining from introducing local bills unless the constitutional requirement of 30 days actual publication before in- troduction had been performed. He urged that no local legislation be sought which did not conform to the requirement.
 MT. Osborne went to the governor yesterday w1th bill of purely local character. affecting the salary of a Jaller in his county and asked if it would be given consideration if en- acted by the legislature. As Mir. Osborne is stanch supporter of Governor Brough and firm friend of the administration, the question was considered by the governor as a friendly investigation of the ad- ministration's attitude toward local legislation.
 Governor Brough, however. feels very strongly on the subject, and in replying to MT. Osborne he said that the local legislation evil is one which he feels bound to overcome as far as possible.
 There is still time to comply with the constitution, the governor said, and if you will send the bill 10 Fort Smith for 30 days publica- tion, l shall be very glad to consider it if it is passedn
