GERMAN FASHIONS
 A TOTAL FAILURE
 SAYS GERMAN PRESS
tAssocfoted Press)

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 29-In res ponse to the old demand throughout Germany for a new mode of womens clothing that shall be entirely German and absolutely independent of Paris, the Munich Wieland has brought out after long preparation, {. special SUD- plement of entirely German fashions containing a series of colored designs absolutely German in inspiration and elaboration"
 The supplement has attracted wide attention in the German newspapers, but almost without exception the crit icism is adverse: The Berlin Tage- blatt says: The illustration might well be taken for caricatures. The body from the waist upwards appears far too short and humpy, the lower part is padded to appear as an enor- rnity. Bulging pockets; hats too small or too large, falling over one ear; wide outstanding collars and oth- CT absurdities complete a figure from which any rational man would turn with loathing."
 The Tageszeitung and other papers declare that if this is fair specimen of German genius for designing ladies fashions German women had far bet ter depend as in the past on Paris.

PIG IRON AND COAL MUCH NEEDED NOW
 IN NEW REPUBLIC
Officials Report Need to Ameri-
 can Commission Experts

PETROGRAD, Russia, Aug. 29.-Pig iron is among the needs of Russia which officials have reported to the American experts. Worn rails and other iron and steel have been used very prodigally by the railways in con- struction work At nearly every rail- way station in Russia tons of old steel rails are in use as hand railings. They are used at railway crossings for fences and are found in many places on railway property where wood would serve as well. In the larger centres hundreds of tons of old steel and iron could be collected by the government from railway property on short notice. This material would meet the urgent demand for iron with out placing further burden upon over- loaded ships, and it Is not unlikely that the government will avail itself of this metal
 Russia is also in need of far more coal than lLS uIHe5 dic PiOuuNii6' The American Railway Commission Is Investigating the great Donetz coal fields with a view to determining whether it will be possible to produce the required fuel by enlarging the present mines and speeding them up. The rails on all Russian railways are light Consequently 1t Is not pos sible to attain the speed possible on i 90 and 100 pound rails. But railway administration in Russia is not cen tralized sufficiently to get the great est possible service out of the tracks. Trains are operated in local orders. By the employment of division super intendents and the institution of a more general system of dispatching, the American engineers believe, great CT service can be obtained from all lines.
 Since the overthrow of tAe Emper.
 or, railways employees have chosen oi their own officials. The success oi
 such a system is doubtful. But il was necessary, apparently, to throw
 off the domination of the old bureau

 The tenor of the answer of the Pres ident was anticipated by diplomats here. but they were surprised by the virtual appeal to the German people to strive for emancipation from the military control and to become fitted to deal with the world democracy. The answer has been forwarded with a copy to every Allied nation.

Domestic Science and
Living Costs.

This series of editorials will not
deal much with household methods.
The Newspaper women's pages and
women's magazines have produced
illimitable volumes on that subject
already. The women are bewilder-
ed with multifarious and conflicting
advice.
A great many of such suggestions
are written by women who could
not go into their own kitchens and
cook an egg. Or they may be done
by black browed men smoking corn
cob pipes in some newspaper office
In these editorials it is proposed
merely to discuss the new point of
view which many women appear to
be getting. which is encouraged and
promoted by the teaching of domes-
tic science and the widening influen-
ce of many schools of these arts.
To the typical woman of the older
generation, homework was drudgery
1t was hard. back-breaking work,
with many tiresome and footsore
steps. There was much distasteful
contact with dirt, disorder. and ref
fuse. The women living on small
incomes did it with superb fidelity,
and certain hopeless persistence.
Frequently they never taught their
daughters the first principle of it,.
They had higher hopes for their
girls, and looked forward when their
daughters would be freed from the
dominion Of pots and pans by get
ting a job in some shop or office.
Women of larger means felt the
distaste for household tasks even
more keenly. II was not so much
that they felt any social degrade
ton in performing them. They
merely regarded them as uninterest-
ing. having nothing worth the at
tention OF an intelligent person.
Asking them to bake bread and tend
the coal fire was much like asking

er. In every town you can now find
some man who boasts Of being the
first to own an automobile in that
locality. He can tell you a comical
story OF his experiences. He would
get stranded on some out OF the way
road. while the country people gath
cred around and laughted at his pre-
dicament. All the wiseacres were
positive that the thing would never
be practical.
The development Of the automo-
bile in the past Is years is one OF
the most wonderful chapters of hu-
man progress. One would like to
have been present at that dinner in

sistence and ingenuity they could
