IMPORTANT.AS OLYMPIAN GAMES
OR BALL CONTESTS.

"Supposing our soldiers were pre-
pairing themselves to uphold the honor
Of their country in the O4ympian
games," said the Times. "Their friends
would help them and would be filed
with horror If they saw one going
wrong. To encourage him to drink
would be held an act Of treachery de-
liberately intended to injure him and
the national cause. What are the
Olympian games, or any other contests
whatever, compared with this? They
are play, make-believe. This is the
real thing, the true test Of manhood.
Is our manhood, then, to be shame
or an honor to us?"

SALOON FoIsTED ON POOR MAN.

All of poor mans wealth Is invest
ed in his children, says Mr.. John F.
Cunneen. labor leader and workingman
Of Chicago. The poor man sacrifices
his whole life to raise his children
and hopes when they grow Up they
will be a help to him in his old age.
If the rich mans children 60 to the
bad the rich man still has money to
support him, but when the poor mans
children go to the bad all his wealth
is lost and he Is left In his old age to
life of misery. The saloon is an in
stitution that robs the poor man Of his
children, and he ought to be against
1t even more than the rich man.
The rich men will not live where
there are saloons. They will have
their land deeds fixed up so that no sa-
looms can be established, or they will
have laws made to bar out saloons.
Some Christian people ease their con-
sciences by having laws made to keep
the saloons away from the church
doors; but when you drive the saloons
away Aioiu TIC It'll Hudu hOuc anu
the doors of the church, you drive
them to the homes of the poor people
the least able to withstand their raw
ages. The poor man cannot drive the
saloon away from his door with money.
like the rich man, for he has not the
money; he has a vote, and with that
vote he can, and should, drive the ga
loon away from his door.

Pretty Hat for Autumn.

Lucie Hamar is creating many lovely

making big sensation amongst the
pretty Spanish girls. This is a delight

corded silk crown. 1t was to accom-
pany smart tailored suit made of Law

established favorites in France. Every
one is of the opinion that the entry
of America into the war Is the begin
ming of the end. And indeed we, who
have lived in France all through the
past three years, have almost come to
the end Of endurance.
At Blarritz in the autumn season we
always look for advance notes on the
winter styles. Nearly all the impor-
tant dressmakers of Paris have branch
establishments at Biarritz and it Is
here that the first show of winter fash
ions takes place.
Blarritz is almost a frontier town
and SO close to Spain that the Span
ish women, who are devoted to dress,
have made 1t second Paris; 1t is here
that they purchase their beautiful win
ter tOilettes In the fall, and 1t Is here
that they, or very many Of them, are
worn for the first time, just to take
off the newness and-so they say-tO
get the better Of the sharp custom
house people when crossing the from
tier.
Lovely Models for Autumn.
Paquin is showing some rarely love-
ly models this autumn, in dainty lit
tie "magazin," which IS close to the
sea front and side by side with the ia
nous MaisOn Lewis.
One Paquin model seen was charm
En- Ell
pressed in midnight-blue charmeuse
and "shrapnel-gray' poult de sole.
The ceinture was handsomely bead
ed In blue, gray and silver, and the
long tassel matched. Round the decol-
lete neck Of this little dress there was
a narrow band Of skunk. This is es-
sentially useful style Of dress, for
1t might be worn on almost any Oc-
casiOn, always looking EAart and I'M
common without being in any way SEN
sational; 1t is the kind Of dress which
has gone far to make Nine. Paquin's
reputation.
can imagine this model copied in
black charmeuse, with ceinture and
tussel in scarlet, blue, silver and Jet
beads, and the touch of skunk on the
collar, or again, in sapphire blue silk
finished cashmere with belt and tas-
sci in cut steel beads worked on pale
gray suede and handsome steel tas-
sci. In fact dozen different vari-
atoms suggest themselves, for the out
line of the model Is charmingly orig
inal and simple.
Original Tailored Suit.
The figure illustrated shows highly
original tailored suit created by Red
fern. Here you have the large turn
over collar which Is a feature Of the
autumn season. These collars are
to be found on many of the new coats
and wraps and they are exceedingly
comfortable and easy. The Redfern
model was carried out in tete de Me-
gre duvetine and brown and white
checked velvet. The skirt is slit up
the sides in doll fashion and where it |
opens it shows panels of the checked |
velvet; this little coatee hangs straight |
at the back and is cut In the inevitable
sack style. |

Garments for Motoring.

A more ordinary garment, intended
for motoring or for wearing over
smart frock on chilly day, was made
Of pale beige monks cloth and lined
with printed Indian silk which show
ed wonderful shades of blue, red and
gray on a white ground. There was
deep shoulder cape which was almost
covered with embroideries worked in
a heavy make Of beige silk and roll
over collar Of beaver fur which ex-
actly matched the shade Of the cloth.
This was very harmonious and de-
sirable garment and was not sur
prised to hear that 1t has already
proved a great success; copies OF 1t
in different colors and materials seem
to be pouring in. Another favorite
winter material is velvet-pile blanket
CLOTH an English stuff which is in great
favor with the Parisiennes.
1 saw a driving wrap made of this
material at the Paquin display; the
color was clear beige and the wrap
was finished with deep collar and i'm
mense cuffs of soft beaver, while the
lining consisted Of black and white
striped taffetas.
This was thoroughly useful wrap
and one which can confidently recon-
mend to my readers. Tae4y-.sscc fes.
beaver fur is fierce as ever, and the
correct thing is beaver-colored tall
ored suit trimmed with bands, collar,
etc, Of the best quality beaver fur.
With such costume smart little hat
in bright emerald velvet would be
worn.

Advance Notes
On Winter Wear

Monks cloth" Is very much in evil
dence in the advance models shown Mt
Biarritz just now. Callot is using this
cloth for specially effective driving
wraps, and she advocates very bril-
liant and rich celors, such as brick-red,
rust-red, military-scarlet, japonica- pink
and emerald.
Callot Is mixing skunk with ermine
on some of her new evening wraps,
and is thus obtaining most attractive
results. For example, flowing wrap,
very like the loose robe worn by
Cinnamon of high degree, made Of
bright japOnica-pink faced cloth and
lined with black charmeuse brocaded
in aluminium threads. There was q
hood collar Of ermine bordered with
skunk, and the two furs appeared side
by side on the wide sleeves Of the
wrap. Down the fronts there were
three beautiful aluminium ornaments
which served to fasten the cloak.

BAZAAR AND DANCE NETTEp
 THE RED DRAGON sa7s

The Halloween bazaar and dance given by the Woman's Guild of the Episcopal church at Eagle hall, was in every way great success. It would be hard to say who was not present, for the attendance was large and en. thusiastic. The merchandise sold to an article, and the booths and their presiding geauises a sight of rare beauty. such sight, in fact, that the sum of S275 was left in their hands.
 The Guild wishes to thank the pub, lie for their usual graceful patronage, and also wishes to thank those who so generously contributed toward the mu. sical part of the program.
 The proceeds will go toward current expenses of the Red Dragon Club House and are a guarantee of the up. keep of this increasingly popular es. tablishment now in its tenth year.

The revised and re-enacted state workmen's compensation, insurance and safety act, which becomes effec- tive January l, 1918, and fixes the date of the beginning of compensa. tion payments on the eleventh day of disability instead of the fifteenth as now provided, will necessitate an in crease in rates charged state compen- sation insurance fund policy holders according to the insurance commis- sion. A temporary rate will be fixed to cover the increase caused by the reduction of the waiting period" un- til the effect of the change on the cost has been determined.
 The revised law provides that all employers must carry insurance or ob- tain from the industrial accident com mission, a certificate to self-insure. The employer will be required to fur nish proof of ability to carry his own insurance and pay any compensation that may become due to employees, before the certificate is granted.
 State compensation insurance fund policy holders have been informed that policies in force will automati. cally cover the additional liability un- der the new law.

POLES FIGHT FUR INDEPENDENCE
 AND LIBERTY

PARIS, Nov, 3-The new autono. nous army that is being organized in France to fight on the western front for the eventual freedom of an independent Poland has just been augmented by the enlistment of Poles of the Russian brigades that for year and a half past have been figh- ing on the French front.
 While the new Polish army will be composed largely of Polish recruits from the United States, the enlist ment of these veterans of both the Russian and French front is consider ed of value.
 In conjunction with the Polish vol unteers who served during the first three years of the war in the French ranks, and who now form the first troops of the autonomous Polish army, these picked, trained and experience ed troops give the young Polish army solid military neucleus that is ex- pected to have influence in the organ ization of the new army. There Rus sian and Polish veterans, with three years of actual warfare behind them. will be used largely in drifling the new recruits.
 The enlistment in the new Polish army of these contingents from the Russian brigades in France was done with the full permission and sanction of the new Russian provisional gov ernment. All Russians of Polish ori- gin or extraction were allowed their own choice of either the Polish or Russian army for future service The voyage of these new Russian volunteers across France to the Po- fish camp where the new army is be- ing organized on an independent, au- tonomous basis, was sort of trium. phal procession marked by an incl. dent of the most striking interest. The locomotive drawing the train
 
 reborn Poland, although the soldiers filling the cars wore the Russian uni. form in which they had come to France together with the medals con. | fired upon them by the Czar, they | chattered in Polish and Polish colors were pinned on their breasts.
 At every station at which the train stopped, enthusiastic crowds greeted | them. Then as the train came into a large station in the central part of France, strange cries were heard from an opposite track of the railway. Twenty German prisoners. all from Posen who were employed in unload ing freight cars yelled with surprise as they beheld the train bearing the White Eagle of Poland and the Pc. fish national colors.
 Their surprise turned into bewil, derment, as in answer to their cries, there popped out of the windows of every car the heads of Russian sol diers, wearing the caps of the Rus sian army yet trimmed without ex- ception with the Polish colors. News of the formation of the new autono- nous Polish army was given, and to a man the Polish-German prisoners threw down their working utensils and | begged to be allowed to join tkeir brothers in arms for the independence fo Poland.
 It was only with the utmost diff | ficulty that they were made to under ! stand that under International laws of war, they as prisoners. could not be allowed to take up arms on French soil.
