URGES WOMEN TO DROP
STYLES" DURING WAR
Defense Council Committee Asks
This Action to Release Men
for National Service
WASHINGTON. July Is.


Uncle Sam today asked women to aban-
don styles" during the war. The de-
fense council women's committee Launched
the appeal:
Wear the clothes you have so man
power now engaged on feminine fads and
fripperies may be released for real war
service at home or abroad.
Buy at reasonable prices regardless
of style. Don't refuse to buy a gown be-
cause there's too much or too little mate
rial in t. Let us make use of what we
have. Allow the unenlightened men to ma
fault with you. Do not draw on the labor
market to create useless things; II Is poor
political economy and poor patriotisms'
Insistence of woman on Something
exclusive" to tickle her vanity and open
the hoodgates of envy in the next-door
neighbours house was strongly advised
against in the committees statement
Women rushing into khaki also was de-
cried. because "it puts the women in corii-
petition with the Government for millions
Of yards needed for troops"
The wisdom Of using up present styles
and having fewer styles during the re-
mander of the war to conserve man-power
will be seen by American women the COM
mittee believes. Mrs Joseph Lamar who
issued the statement, said:
Americas women are whole-heartedfy
devoted to the nations interests and viii

After the manner OF Moharnet, Nelly's

Senator Ware offered an original expIana-

They are $500 less than they were last

That's because the problem Of securing

Early i'm the summer we had a bunch Of

They were responsible for a lot of the

Senator Ware was asked II he had an
interest in the Penn Reduction Company,
which has the garbage contract for the city,

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
THAT OTHER GOAT
By Farmer Smith

when two soldiers are fighting and have
all the world to roll around in, why do they
manage TO fall on poor little me?" asked
Billy Bumpus Of himself, as he sat under
an apple tree a little ways away from the
artillery camp where he had been making
his home.
Il begin to think I'm the most important
thing in all the world When there Is any
thing going wrong around the place / get
the blame for it. when there is anything
good going on | get the blame for not
doing It.
And there you are"
Bully ate a little tuft of grass and then
continued TO talk to himself:
Il suppose / had no business in that tent
Sergeant Dill Pickle--what a name! I
bet he is sour. Maybe Dill Pickles are
sweet Who cares?
But"
81 wonder where that other goat is? To
think there is another goat in the army :
1t makes me chilly to think of It.
Haven't they enough trouble without
bringing another trouble-maker here to give
me trouble? Two troubles do not make a

Dill Pickle to a pnk-eyed monkey that he
was laughing at me when / fell into that

been a coward. to have looked at me doing
all those things and never let on.

how good his aim could be.
Funny I'm this world, what starts you
to do something. I might sit here for the
rest OF the day yet the very thought Of
that other fellow makes me get up and
hurry down to butt him, Poor fellow"
Billy started down the hill on a run, and
when he reached Sergeant Dill Pickles tent
he found It empty once more
Billy peeked here. Then he peeked there
and all the time he was hunting for the
othr goat.
"Hey, there If you are hiding from me,
rome out and will butt you to smithereens
right now" Billy was shouting at the top
Of his leathery lungs.
No answer.

| fairly yelled Billy
| Silence

"I'll run around and find that rascal"
| He looked under the cot he looked out In

| Then he said, Il guess that coward is SO
small he can't be seen"
There is one place forgot TO look" said
