BAD WRECK :. ON
500 LINE SUNDAY

Minot, N. D., Jan. 2s.-Owing to
a derailment on the 900 Line two
miles west of this city about one
o'clock Sunday afternoon eighteen
cars were piled up promiscuously
by the wrecking of a southbound
freight. No one was injured. AT
the point where the wreck occurred
is a sharp curve and, as the train
was running at moderate speed, no
other cause can be assigned for the
accident than the spreading Of the
rails. The cars which were wreck.
ed were loaded with lumber and
merchandise. t
: A work train with material and q
number of men were dispatched
from this city to the scene Of the
wreck and were kept busy until
nearly noon today before the debris
was cleared and the regular trains
passed over the tracks. Passenger
were transferred around the wreck
Sunday.
It appears that in about the same
locality of Sundays wreck Others
have occurred within the past few
weeks. s ( Z.

It is true that Cheruit is q seventeenth CEN

DirectOire and First
Empire Again to the Fore

The Napoleonc period is as deeply i'm
pressed on the minds of the designers. There
was nothing medieval about French costumery
throughout the reign of the superman, but
there were so many eccentricities such vast
variety Of beautiful lines and curves, so much
glowing narrative and tragic romance attached
to the sweep Of a skirt and the flow of sleeve,
that the dressmakers never get away from
those pages of costumery
To-day we are again threatened with the
Napoeonic. We are almost sated with me-
dievalism. The Drectore beckons; the First
Empire allures. The madness of Nine. de Tai
lien will not be repeated to-day, unless France
is suddenly assured Of victory, when, if history
repeats itself, she may go quite mad again for
a short time, through the costumery Of her
women.
In this glow Of feeling toward the Napo-
leonic period we are not even averse to the
laced bodice and the gathered skirt of those
"citoyennes" who wrecked the Tuileries and
parceed among themselves the fnery of The
Austrian.
Already the colorcd cotton bodice laced with
cords, instead Of fastened, has come into being.

The Military Influence
Makes Itself Strongly Felt

Between the medieval and the Napoleonic,
which still influence the majority of clothes
that are offered this summer the new military
dress is wedged. 1t forms salient that is
being rapidly strengthened and organized.
The first woman who appeared in military
outfit at a fashionable restaurant at the noon
hour received as much enthusiastic attention as
did the young artilleryman who stood behind
rapid firing gun mounted in the lobby of the
hotel with a poster asking for subscriptions to
the Liberty Loan as background.
The woman who wore the military costume
had just come off duty and was getting her
lunch in much Of a hurry as she could II
amused her very much that number of people
thought she was in fancy dress costume.
She wore the khaki Of the United States
army, Russia leather low-heeled shoes, puttees

Women Now Wear All
Varieties of Army Caps

In two weeks the women in large centres
were ordering reproductions of these caps.
When one goes about among well dressed
women to-day one sees the rakish cap OF the
Black Watch, the jaunty, pointed cap OF Al
bert of Belgium, the white marine cap of our
own sailors, the khaki hat of our officers, all
the caps of the British army and navy and the
alluring cap of the French marines.
All women do not stop at wearing hats that
are in service in the field. The milliners have
persuaded them to go further and adopt the
more magnificent headgear worn in dress
parade The strap under the chin is accentu-
ated; the tilt of the hat is as square and
straight as an officer would have it, and only
here and there does one see the jauntlness al
fected by the carefree sailors, who pitch their
hats at the most rakish angle on the side of
their heads.
So far, the only hat that has not been
brought to the front by the milliners is the
Rough Rider sombrero made famous by Colonel
Roosevelt. That's strange, isn't it?

dred, in block, and they have been worn in
all the market places of the civilized world for
two years. The splendid sweeping robes IN
which Guinevere met Launcelot have served,
when modified, to carry Mary Jane to the de-
partment store to buy bargain shirtwaists
The swinging sleeves, the loose, jewelled rope
girdle and the straight widths Of deeply colored
velvet worn by Juliet when she went to the
sombre tombs of the dead have been worn by
blue eyed Miss Flapper, rapturously applaud
ing "The Midnight Follies."
."What are the uses of history" say the
designers, "if not to turn it into present use?"
And so, over and over, the world Of apparel
greets the rising Of the medieval sun, season
after season, decade after decade.
The medievalism Of the day need not reflect
the twelfth century of the early Britons. 1t
can 90 back to the days of Byzantium and
it can reflect the colorful glory of Italy under
the birth Of the Renaissance. Every page in
history suggests whole field of costumery to
the designer who reads it Alright. No wonder
that we continue to wear the clothes which
covered the women of those centuries

Khaki Uniform of the
Woman Ambulance Driver

Women have long worn riding breeches on
the street covered with a cape or long top
coat. and this new ambulance costume creates
less attention in the large centres than 1t would
have done half dozen years ago; but even now
it creates a ripple of interest, which is always
attended by approval and admiration. There
are no tests. no satirica remarks, no laughter
from the men as these women pass through
the ranks of people on the streets. Some OF
the Difference is shown to them that is given to
the women with the red cross on their cos
tunes or the brassard of mercy on their arms.
1t is a happy fact to remember, when one is
separating the segments of fashion for this

Ornate Collars and Cuffs Will Relieve
The Simplicity of the Coming Costume

Among the experts, whose business in life
is to study clothes, one constantly hears the
call for simplicity. If there is to be economy,
it must be in the usage of. material, but not In
the price paid or the number of clothes pur-
chased The claim of certain manufacturers
that there should be economy in the amount Of
material used, because the use of patch
pockets, hip drapery and wide collars allows a
good deal of patching and extra scanning, does
not appeal to the public.
1t has long been an adage of those who know
clothes thoroughly that frocks with frills' are
