"Go To College" is
Advice to Girls

In a pamphlet entitled "The Uni
versity and the Woman" the Univers-
ity of Oregon declares it to be the
duty of all girls graduating from
high school to attend college. If they
can possibly do SO. The booklet,
which is instructive and we'll illustra-
ted, addresses the following timely
advice to young women who wish to
make the most of themselves.
with graduation from high school
comes the need of great decision
What shall be the next step? At the
age of II or IS 1t is the exceptional
girl who has formed a definite plan
for her life. The normal girl looks
forward to the time when she will
marry But now she is too young,
too undeveloped, too unprepared.
Shall she remain at home with her
father and mother, helping with the
housework. reading desultorily, en-
ioying whatever social life is offered
by the community in which she lives.
Many a girl does that and the result
is usually-not always, but usually
wasted years and, later regrets.

to one or the very few positions open
to an unframed girl under 20? Pitt

quently, neither hygienic nor morally
wholesome. Possibly, after short
course in business college, she can
learn enough Of stenography and
typewriting to find work in an office.
Conditions and wages may be better,
but at best they are none too good,
and the opportunity for advancement
is of the slightest.
What remains? Nothing-for
average girl-except, maybe, the
drudgery of manual labor in a laun-
dry or canning factory.
This is in no sense a criticism of
the girl who works. There can be no
more heroic act than that of the
daughter or sister who courageously
accepts the burden of contributing to
the support of the family. But that
does not minimize the sacrifice she
must make. And fortunately, in the
Pacific northwest, the family that
really requires the contribution that
a daughter can make by employment
is exceptionally rare.
What then? Is there no other al
tentative? Happily, there is. The
people Of Oregon, operating through
the community of interest known as
the state. have provided for their
daughters an institution of higher
learning-a university, where a girl,
after the completion of her course in
the local high school, may go for four
years more of study of training, of

ITALY TO LIMIT DOMINATION
Can Gain No Advantage by Undue Elk.
panslon on Eastern Shores of
Adriatlc, Declares Writer.

1t is, of course, evident that Italy
has no advantage to gain from an I'M
due expansion of her territorial hold
ings on the eastern shores Of the Ad-
ratio, Guglielmo Ferrero writes in the
Atlantic. Here the italian population
lives only on the coast, or near 1t, and
for this reason Italy cannot spread
her domination far into the interior
without mourning the risk Of coming
into serious and severe conflict with
the subject Slavic population, or with
those Slavic states which will be in a
position to intervene in their defense.
Italian mastery of the eastern coast
would therefore be limited to thin
littoral strip of land, and one need not
be great strategist to understand
what a disadvantage 1t would be for
Italy to have to defend long line of
frontier a few dozen kilometers from
the coast, behind which would lie a
vast hnterland occupied by people
seething with discomfort at being cut
off from the sea.
If Italy, then, does not wish to be-
come involved in long and arduous
wars for the conquest of this hinter-
land her purposes will be best served
by reducing to a minimum her terri
tOrial annexation on the further shore
Of the Adriatic.

WOMEN ORIGINATE
SOME NEW STYLES

velyeteen skirt, was the idea Of q
young matron who usually has her
own way in clothes and who conse-
quently attracts attention to herself
and has many followers.
The introduction of the jerkin of
Robin Hoods day, made In colored
leather, belted with the material, and
fastened with a great silver medieval
buckle, was advanced on the golf
fields Of this country and has become
far more fashionable garment than
the sweater.
Another experiment of the Ameri-
can women, which could not have its
source in Paris, is the universal use
of immense garden hats trimmed with
brilliantly colored flowers, as part
of city apparel. The American world
is quite used to the great hat of straw
in country gardens, on beaches and on
the benches of athletic fields, but this
Is the first summer that women In
great centers of activity have worn the
so-called country hats on the street, to
the restaurants, and for all manner of
social life.
New Kinds of Waistcoats.
Another individuality which has been
brought out, is the waistcoat of check
ed silk or cotton with a round, yoke
collar of itself, also a cravat finished
in a sailors loop with two ends.
Time was when we always consid-
cred it necessary to wear an entire
shirtwaist under a coat. Today, since
good taste demands that we do not sit
in public in our shirtsleeves. the neck
wear people have reaped a harvest
through the various kinds Of sleeve
less bodices which they have intended
to 90 under a coat as a substitute for
a blouse. Organdie, chiffon and white
muslin in various weaves are conven-
tional fabrics to use for these fronts
that allow the coat to be unbuttoned,
if not removed.
But the new note is the departure
from the white to the checked fabrics.
A new colored jersey suit carries a
waistcoat made of heliotrope and white
checked taffeta. A dark blue serge
carries a waistcoat of blue and white
checked bingham. A natural colored
pongee coat suit has a front of geran-
ium red and yellow checks. Black and
white bingham or taffeta is used for
the full waistcoat of an oyster white
japanese silk suit.
These little garments are really
sleeveless blouses; they're not even
first cousins to the long, tight-fitting,
Louis XVI waistceat which the French
have put into the topcoats and circu-
lar capes for motoring. They are at

New York.-Life and war and
clothes and psychology make curious
mixture this midsummer. To analyze,
to philosOphize, to play with grouped
masses of people, to watch the sun
light and shadow of social existence
as 1t goes on in America today, are
great temptations. To stick to the
straight and narrow path of clothes,
and clothes only, is difficult.
There is no lack of a certain kind
of frivolity this summer. We shall
all go on a path of moderate amuse-
ment until the war becomes too stu
pendous and is too full of terror for
us to laugh. Let us each pray to God
that that will never happen!
America is a bit too stupendous
segment of the earth's surface to feel
a foreign war acutely. She may
pour out her men, her sympathy, her
money, and cooperate in every way
that her ingenuity and resources al
low in the struggle toward peace,
but, without an invading army, with
1GI COlOSSul lIluuSIllCS ullulSlu bCNy
with her wealth and climate, and
with the great mass of unrelated peo-
pie of all nationalities, it is not pos
sible for her to take the war as
France takes it.
AS long as there is money chance
to wear good clothes, and no reasons
against doing it, there will be fash
ions in plenty.
individuality Is Shown.
Individualism las suddenly raised
it's head above uniformity. The rea-
son is simple. The early French
models which dominated fashions,
were sold out in a hysterical wave
of bargains early in the spring.
Nothing has taken their place. Our
designers have not risen to the oc-
casiOn in a mass, as many of the
clothes critics in America thought they
would, if given a chance.
You know, there has been a strong
propaganda for a half dozen years
in regard to the wholesale use of our
designers to be dominant creators, if
given an opportunity by the public.
Well, they have had the opportunity in
America, and, except in rare cases,
they have not shown any desire to take
advantage of it.
On the other hand, the American
women have shown some extraor6i-
nary good work in origination.
Now, this is just where the REFORM
as the critics of French clothes call
it, should start. Paris has depended
on its well-dressed women to lead the
way in clothes for three centuries.
America has depended on it's shops
