WAR TIME STYLES.

Perhaps the war really is. as some
optimists think, going to accomplish
various forms OF good There's the
matter of fashions, for example. Here.
tofore, the one certain fact about the
fashions was they had no relation to
any other aspects OF human life. The
harder fur was to get, the more mod
ish fur-trimmed garments were. The
hotter the August day, the more fire..
quent the heavy, black velvet hats up,
on the streets. And straw hats over
exposed necks in February hlizzards
were as common as furs about pers
piring threats in July.
Nor was there ever any sense in
design, SO far as any ordinary mortal
could observe. One year, everyone
skirts must drag, indoors or out. The
next, they must be seven inches or
more aobve the floor. no matter what
the use of them. Tall, short, fat thin
young and old, have had to wear the
same outline at the same time. To
one OF these at a time, the mode Of
the hour has been becoming. The
others always look like freaks.
But this year the national cloak,
suit and skirt manufacturers have sol
EMMY decided in convention one or
two points in the direction OF common
sense ad with some slight relation to
war conditions and the human psy-
choloey pertaining thereto.
For instance, street clothes next
winter will be simple. Skirts will be
plenty wide enough to walk in com
fortably, but no unnecessary material
will be used Collars will be big
many of them like capes, to afford
warmth.
It wasn't the fault of the designers
plans that military styles are TO be
taboo. 1t just happened that last year
Canada was flooded with them and
Canadian women, who knew what war
meant and refused to play with the
idea, would not wear them So the
suit makers are going to be wise and
not offer them to American women.
Really, If these serious-mnded gen
tlemen who decree what women shall
wear keep on at this rate, maybe after
a while there Will be san clothes for
everybody at all times.

SUFFRAGE m ENGLAND.

The Franchise Reform bill has ac
tually passed the House of Commons
and it has happened so quietly that
many Americans. even many ardent
suifragists, are not yet aware Of it
BY its provisions it adds six million
women to these who vote in England
Those admitted TO the franchise are
university electors. loca. government
electors. and wives of voters Also
the age limit is thirty.
1t is by no means, as may be seen,
complete equal suffrage measure,
But MI. l.loyd-George told the suif-
ragists committee, who agreed with
him, that with these three classes
voting the extension of franchise is
only a matter OF time. The principle
that women have Il right to vote has
been admitted. That once accom-
plished, the rest must necessarily fol-
low The unusua, age requirement
was intended to equalize the voting
and not give the women an unfair ma
jority, because so many of the young
er men are at the war.
The war Is doing many strange
things, Fastening many changes once
thought to be far in advance OF this
generation. None is stranger than
the smoothness with which this bill
was passed and the calmness with
which II has been everywhere re-
ceived.

COMMITTEE IS STILL WORKING ID LOCATE
 MOBILIZATION CAMP
Say Nothing and Saw Wood Is Policy, But Com mittee Is Encouraged
 by Inquiries

Birmingham citizens want to know what Is being accomplished by the mobiliza- ton camp committee of the civic organ izations, which committee has been ac- lively on the job for weeks. but it is impossible for the committee to make a statement as to their success so far as it is deemed unwise to say anything until they are able to announce to the public that General Wood has decided to give Birmingham the camp
 It is a well known fact though, that some things have been done recently ir favor of the camp, that have evidently met with the approval of the war de- partment, as the inquiries that followed showed tht~the city of Birmingham had made the proper authorities sit up and take notice. One thing in particular which cannot be made public now, occurred last week, which was most encouraging, and the committee immediately met the prop osition in such matter that 1t is bound to be in Birmingham's favor.
 So Birmingham citizens must not get impatient. but just consider that no news is good news, and keep a stout heart, fol Birmingham Is going to win the mobili. zation camp, unless some unforeseen thing happens that would shift past ac- complishments to where they would count for naught- Every man who is interested or who can help in any way should con- fer with the committee and render what assistance he can, as everyone can dc his bit

 Virtually all of the matter specified by the committee as dangerous and liable to be of value to the enemy is of the character which most of the newspapers of their own accord scrupulously have eliminated from their columns.
 In making public the regulations. copies of which have been mailed to every daily paper inithe country George Creel chair man, announced that the committe was given it's name in no spirit of subter- fuge and it's censorship will be subordi- mated to the task of giving the people in- formation.

 Channels of information will be cleared of deadwood. permitting freer and more continuous flow, and in every sane and prudent manner officials of government will be induced to give fullest recogni- tion to the truth that public support is largely a matter of public understanding.
 The committee was appointed and MT. Creel named chairman by President Will son. There is no law, however vesting it with censorship powers.
