SEVERE WEATHER is
CAUSING 5TUCH DAMAGE
Losses Among cattle and sheep in
the northern Isos+ky Mountain
Great

wASHINGTON, April 2I.-Severe
weather is causing heavy losses among
cattle and sheep in the northern
Rocky mountain region. according to
reports TO the forestry service.
The loss of sheep in Wyoming,
Idaho. Montana, Utan and Nevada
will be unusually :ieavy and may
reach 90 per cent il was said today
Sheep generally are reported in poor
condition and light lamb and wool
crop is predicted.
Heavy cattle losses are in prospect
in Idaho. Montana and Wyoming and
stockmen fear that short grain and
hay supplies will mean the death %
many more animals before warm
weather.
In the Pacific coast states and in
the southwest the situation is said to
be much better.

A PATRIOTISM OF DRESS

~ HE Campfire Girls of
VI America have suggested
that national uniform
dress for women be adopted
while this country is at war.
The mothers of st. Paul are
advocating khaki graduating
dresses for high school misses,
and the high school girls of
Portland have placed a limi-
taion on their expenditures
for commencement gowns.
Club women of Albany, Ore
gon, have started a move to
have all children of the city go
bare-footed during the sum-
mer months.
All this is done in the inter-
est of economy during war
time. Why should there not
be a patriotism of dress, at
least to the extent of elimi-
mating much of the sinful trib-
ute which fashion and style
collect each year?
Clothes have a three-fold
purpose, concealment, protec-
ton and adornment. The first
two purposes are utilitarian,
the third is purely luxury. For
every dollar that is spent to
satisfy the practical purposes
of clothing there are tens and
hundreds Of dollars spent on
style. Dame Fashion is an ex-
pensive mistress and withal A
capricious one. Billions OF
dollars are wasted annually IN
an endeavor to fulfill her
whimsical decree.
II would seem that if an
earnest effort is to be made
throughout the nation to adopt
more economical standards of
living-and the increasing cost
Of necessities makes the need
Of such an effort apparent to
ala big step in the right di
rection would be taken by
emancipating ourselves from
the slavery of dress. If we
could content ourselves. for a
time at least. with selecting our
clothes with respect to decency
end comfort more than with
view 10 making ourselves hu-
man peacocks, we might have
more money for such luxurious
necessities as bread and pota-
toes and beans.
The suggestion Of the Camp
fire Girls merits serious cOnsid-
Grafton by the women and girls
Of the land. A general adop-
ton Of a plain. simple, mex
pensive costume for wartimes
would mean a huge saving and
would give the wearers patrio-
tic distinction Il might throw
the style makers out Of Jobs
but they would be very fit sub
lects FOR President Wilson s
s-leldNe conscription.

ever hoisted the flag of anoth-

to show respect to a foreign

Making the observance of
much greater significance is
the past relations of the two
countries. England, the parent
from whom the child America
rebelled, did honor to the
child matured and self-devel-
oped. The British celebration
of yesterday, participated in
by the king and queen and

the depth of England's thank
