OPEN Usage MINES
State Fuel Administrator Orders Work
in This District

Emerson Carey of Hutchinson.
state fuel administrator, has directed
the immediate opening of the Usage
county coal mines. He has granted
an increase of so cents a ton in the
urice of coal to be received by produc-
ers, and established $4.95 as the max
imum price to be charged at the
mines.
Assistance to idle operators by the
Southwestern Coal Operators associa-
ton is forbidden by Carey's order. He
declares the miners must return to
work and that further permission for
aid will not be granted mining organ
izations The order IN the Usage case
is Immediately effective and miners
are directed to return to work today.
Under the order as issued from
Administrator Carey's office in Hutch
inson, miners will receive $2.57Ss a
S2.522a cents ton in the Northern
district. Under this approved increase
in wages to miners, the operators are
permitted to charge S4.95 a ton, or a
further increase of so cents a ton.
Several months ago Governor Cap
per threatened to take over the coal
fields of Kansas if they were not prop
erly operated. Both the miners and
operators in the Usage field were dis
satisfied with conditions and the min
ers were idle. Both miners and op-
orators came to Topeka and urged
the governor to make good his threat
In an effort to keep the mines busy
the government will now approve an
increase both in the wage scale and
in the price to be received by the
operators.

Care of Our Troops.
MILITARY POLICE ON THE JOB
BOOtleggers Are Most Persist
ent ViOIatOrS There.
William Blaine Is Provost Desk
Sergeant of Camp.

On a recent visit to Camp Doniphan
one Topeka man, r. D. Blaine. was
afforded an exceptional opportunity to
observe the work of the military po-
lice from the provost headquarters.
Blaine is a personal friend of Col.
Willie Med. Rowan. provost marshal
of the camp, and of his adjutant,
Capt. James A. Going. Blaine's son,
William, is the provost desk sergeant
Blaine. thru the special courtesy of
Colonel Rowan, was permitted to re-
main in the provost headquarters
from noon of one day to one o'clock
in the morning of the next In an in
terview with a State Journal reporter
Blaine gave an interesting disserta-
ton concerning a days run of the
military police and on the attitude OF
the city of Lawton to the soldiers en-
camped at her gates.
Blaine's first impression of the city
of Lawton was gained a few days af-
ter the soldiers had had pay day.
He said, There appeared to be plenty
of money in circulation but there was
a seeming indifference in regard to its
value. 1t was not uncommon to see
persons lined up to the curb in front
of the cafes and hotels; and the same
conditions prevailed in regard to the
lodging houses. The accommodations
are inadequate in the extreme, and
the prices are SO much above the
average lHdl they are SAOI
Jumping from Lawton to the work
of the military police Blaine gave an
outline of a 12-hour run of cases to
come before the provost marshal
Speaking of what came into the pro-
vost headquarters Blaine SAID:
There 1 saw much of the inside
violations with which they had to deal.
The provost police consists of thirty
men (soldiers on patrol duty in the
city.) These squads are changed every
ten days. The conditions keep every
man active and on the move. 1 think
there were something like 80 or 40
arrests made during the twelve hours
referred to. The offenses differed in
character. A good many were of minor
nature; soldiers violating military
rules within the town limits. Among
the most notorious characters were
several bootleggers, the majority
of whom were colored; some of them
old offenders. The intoxicants sold,
according to the evidence for prices
ranging from $14.0O a quart to $500
for full jug. Among others brought
in were several notorious and unchaste
women. 1 should judge their age to
be not less than 35 or 40. I would
judge from appearances, about the
most -disreputable characters I ever
saw. not excepting the slums of New
York City or San Francisco. In con-
nection with these characters, several

of the luxuries than of the necessities.
There is a restriction on wool and no
restriction on fur, which is good. be-
cause the wearing of hides was the
first effort of man to keep warm and
protect himself from the weather
And there is no reason why it should
not come back into this era, which is
sufficiently savage, to judge by the
war.
It is really astonishing how prodigal
we are of peltry today. One furrier
on Fifth avenue exhibited in a single
day enough of the precious furs made
up into fashionable garments to sup
port goodly number of the war or
phans of France. Ermine. sable and
Kolinsky were used with as much
prodigality as though they were home
spun, pongee and taffeta. Sable coats
that enveloped the whole figure and
fell in great, ripping folds from ear
to instep were not only exhibited, but
bought.
1t is this topsy-turvy condition of
everything in America that makes this
wartime epoch the most interesting
Of all for a fashion writer. To write
a chapter on the fashion for fur is
quite in keeping with another chapter
on the conservation of common gar
den materials. You may not be able
to buy two serge frocks this season,
but you will be quite able to buy three
sable coats.
The Question of Pockets.
The sketch shows one of the new
capes made of black velvet which is
trimmed with heavy gray fur and
built in a most novel manner. The
back of the cape is sufficiently long to
be caught to a wide belt that passes
over the two stole ends in front and
holds them fatty against the figure
At the end of each stole is an i'm
mense pocket of fur.
These not only serve as a substitute
for a muff. but they hold a goodly
quantity of travelling packages The
woman who is trying to save the man
power of the world for the fighting
front is taking home as many small
packages as she can to aid the shops,
and these capacious pockets will hold
much. They do not spill out every
thing in the malicious manner of
muff. They hold handkerchiefs, thea
ter tickets, purse and knitting, or
whatever other fancy work the woman
of the day considers it necessary to
carry about with her in the street
and to the ballroom.
And why can't a furrier or home
dreSsmaker suggest to a woman thru
the idea of this pocket, a new kind
of belt which is made of peltry,
fastens at the side with two immense
buttons of the fur, bone trimmed, and
then has two huge pockets arranged
on flaps of velvet that are attached
to the belt? The pockets themselves
should be of peltry, and the belts can
be worn with one-piece frocksN and
with coat suits under the jacket.

DETAILS IMPORTANT
Camp Doniphan Commander Insists
Training Must All Be Thorough.


Camp Doniphan, Okla, Dec l.
Missouri and Kansas guardsmen at
Camp Doniphan are finding it no easy
matter to follow the tasks set out by
their drilling master in the prepara-
ton for active service. A drillmastCr
they have who drives with an iron
hand toward the goal of efficiency.
Brigadier General Lucien G.. Berry,
acting commander of the division. IS
soldier Thirty-five years in army life
have given him the viewpoint of SOL
der, ideal for the men in his conf
mand. His hobby is perfection down
to the details.
Recently there came from France in
one of the communications from the
French staff a paragraph that so
nearly conceded with his views ON the
point he is striving to impress on off,
GERS and men of the Thirty-fifth divi-
sion that he has spread it as exactly
outlining what should be learned by
study. lest it later be learned at sadder
cost. The French statement:
We have learned by our own ex-
perience that the greatest exertions
are necessary to attain even the small
est results, and the most minute de-
tails must be considered as seriously
as the most monumental plans. Ig-
norance, error and laziness must be
paid for in blood.
On such a platform the training at
Camp Doniphan is based.

quisite lingerie, now wore unadorned,
untrimmed. unruffled. tailormade
camisoles. chemises, petticoats and
the rest.
But that is just exactly what the
war has not done to French lingerie,
SO recent intelligences tell us. The
fact is that French women have been
very much curtailed in their outside
garments because of the war and be-
cause they cannot indulge their fancy
for pretty clothes in evening dresses.
or in smart and expensive afternoon
frocks, they satisfy their natural GRAY
ing for personal adornment by having
their lingerie even more dainty and
exquisite than ever. This does not
mean. probably. that any number of
French women worth considering are
extravagant in lingerie, because no
group of women has co-operated more
thoroly with their soldiers than have
the French women whose frugality and
economy have been thorough-going,
as they have been cheerful and spirit
ed. The idea is rather pleasing-is it
not?-of the trim little French wo-
man clad in a frock of almost con-
ventual simplicity, her hair unadorn-
ed by costly ornaments, her hat, tho
chic, bereft CT plumes or any other
expensive trimming. who still just to
satisfy her own innate daintiness
wears underneath all this rigid SIM
plicity lace-trimmed, embroidered,
ruffled and frilled lingerie. She sim
ply couldn't divest herself of all adorn-
ment, even if to get what she craved
she had to burn the midnight oil to
make it for herself, or go on even
less than war rations for a while in
order to save a sufficient number OF
francs and centimes wherewith to buy
the dainty material.
Doesn't it seem as if the tendency
in fashions on this side of the Atlantic
that makes our clothes INCREASINGLY
simple and inexpensive, is likewise in
creasing our desire for dainty under
things?
At any rate the shops are full to
the brim of tempting lingerie and. as
far as shopkeepers will tell us, they
are selling better this year than ever
before

The project was started after the
king of Trails association at Oma-
ha turned down, a few weeks ago,
Putney's suggestion that, the king
of Trails be built thru Topeka. The
proposed road would traverse one of
the finest parts of Kansas, would
cross every east and west highway in
the state. and would directly connect
Topeka and Omaha with the rich oil
territory of Kansas and Oklahoma.
Federal aid has already been prom
ised for that part of it between Hor-
ton and Carbonate, and it is barely
possible that such aid could be secured
for the entire project in Kansas. Plans
are already complete to start petit
lions for paving the road from Horton
thru Topeka to the south line of Shaw
nee county.
trhe important towns passed thru in
Kansas would be-Hiawatha, Horton,

HEAR MUSIC AGAIN!
Flies VIII Soon Lead Italy's Sons To
Battle Again.

London, Dec, There was music
again behind the Italian front Mon
dav-the first time in two weeks.
Soon-perhaps before the week is
over-fifes and fanfares will again
lead Italy's sons into battle. For the
present. ever since the big clash in
the mountains began, every Italian
bandsman is fighting in the ranks.
Far from the distance, somewhere
to the southwest, came the echo of
the GaribaIdi hymn Isl Scopron LIE
Tombe." It went drought the battling
heroes between the Piave and Brenta
rivers like a galvanic shock. Today,
they, not the Teutons, were on the Of
fensive.
No sooner had the last strains of
Italy's famous battle song died away
when there came another tune from
the mysterious distant trumpets, one
equally inspiring: "Allons Enfants
De Las Patrie." \And after that an
other, God Save. the King" Then
the Italians knew. Into the fray they
stormed with thunderous cheer, a
3ubilant shout straight from the
heart of Italy:
THE allies are coming!'

terances and "Knockers.~

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 1.-The
problem of combating by municipal
legisla ton the menace of seditious
utterances and the circulation of sedi-
tious literature has apparently been
solved by the city of Frederick, Okla,
and the attention of the Oklahoma
state council of defense has been
called to the process.

erick city council on October 2 makes
it IAN offense" not only to commit the
bove breaches but to interpose any
opposition to federal conservation or

wise. Since the law became opera
tive only one arrest, with subsequent
conviction and a fine and costs
amounting to $31.5O has resulted.
