is SIMPLE FROCK
Gown for Evening Wear Known
in Paris as ''Demi- Toilette"
French Fashion Leaders Draw Dis
tinction Between Ball Dress and
Costume for Theatcr.

The Parisiennes have become so at
tached to the simple, yet decorative
style of dress which comes under the
title of "demi-toilette' that it will be
a very difficult task TO induce them to
replace it by something more elabo-
rate, even after the war. The demi-
toilette for evening wear is essentially
French.
Up to quite recent years no one in
this country dreamt of going to thea
ter-except the opera on certain nights

Gray and Black Combination Chic

News comes from Paris that much
black and gray is being used in COM
bination by some of the best mo-
distes there. This munition gray is a
lovely color. having just enough of the
blue cast to make it interesting. Then
there is decided leaning toward the
shades of brown, beige and sand. The
rust and Mahogany or the incendie
shades, as they are called, are also
combined with the black.

The Lesser Evil.

'How many times has Mr.. Grabcoin

"Three or four times"

of that"
sAnd so he does, but Mr.. Grabcoin
says he would rather have Reggie
make a fool of himself on his own
account than take him in as a member
of the firm"

the points must be made OF very high
grade of steel in order to be durable.
Drag scrapers are made il 1-horse,
III horse and 2-horse sizes, which
have respective rated capacities OF .,
5 and z cubic feet. Drag scrapers
have an average weight. when empty,
of from rs to 100 pounds. and an ac-
tual capacity OF about three-fourths
the rated capacity. The price f. o. b..
factory, averages from 81 to Sc per
scraper.
In operating drag scrarers the driv-
ers also may load and empty the
scraper, but frequently it is econom-
ical to provide additional laborers for
this purpose. With haul length OF
100 feet and the teams moving stead
fly, one laborer should be able to load
or empty and spread the material for
about three scrapers. For scraper
work to be effective the material to
be excavated must be thoroughly loos-
ened by the plows and should be free
from large roots or stones. Where
such distractions occur time Is saved
by having them removed by hand dur
ing the process of blowing.
The average small organization for
carrying on road-grading work with
drag scrapers is made up about as fol-
lows:
Force:
/ foreman.
to s scraper drivers.
laborers for loading scrapers.
laborers for dumping and spreading.
l driver for pillow.
l laborer to hold plow.
/ laborer Tor trimming shoulders, etc.
4 to 6 two-horse teams for scrapers-
! or tWo-horse teams for pillow.
Total, l foreman, IA laborers, am Z
teams.
Tools
drag scrapers capacity cubic feeo.
1 road pillow.
2 picks.
2 axes
2 mattocks.
8 ShovelS.
The force employed should vary
somewhat with the haul length, which
is usually between % feet and $50 feet.
Under average conditions an organiza-
ton such as that described above
should move from 300 to $50 cubic
yards of earth per 10-hour day.
Objectionable Feature.
An Objectionable feature OF drag
scraper work is that the embellishments
tend to settle very irregularly. me
reason is that the successive loads are
not spread out uniformly as they are
dumped, but are deposited as a success
sion of rather compact cores with the
Intervening spaces consisting OF COM
paratively loose material. The loose
material settles more than the COM
pacted spots, and this unequal settle
ment produces pockets in the surface
which hold water and gradually be-
come deepened under the action OF
traffic.
Use Wheeled Scrapers.
Wheeled scrapers are used to a
greater extent in road grading than
either drag scrapers or wagons. The
reason for this is that in road work the
haul length falls, more frequently than
otherwise, within the limits for which
wheeled scrapers are economical. Sew
eral different sizes of such scraperS are
in ordinary use, but the size employed
most commonly has an actual load

GREAT FILM TODAY

Draft 25S," which starts a two-day
run at the Eagle today. is a photo
drama that will make America dearer
to every one of its citizens. Il is the
story of a typical American family.
Mary Alden, a shop-girl, tells her
sweetheart she will marry him when
he comes to her in uniform, and he
happily complies with her request.
One Of her brothers, Mathew. is a So
cialist, and German agents use him as
their tool before he realizes their true
motives. Mary is a genuine torch of
patriotism, inspiring many to give
both themselves ant tneir money to
the service of the government. Mary
is abducted by German agents and
placed in an aeroplane factory which
they are about to blow up. The eli
max is exciting in the extreme, anc
the production giows with patriotism
and devotion to the nation.

BRITISH RECRUITERS
GET BUSY HERE

Necessity rather than choice led to
the employment of invalided soldiers
from France to assist the British re-
cruiting mission in the Uni ed States,
is averred by Lieut.. ]. A. Crozier, the
officer in charge of Arizona British
recruiting, with headquarters at Phoe-
nix. Indeed. he is surprised that there
should be any question as to the wis
dom OF such a policy.
1T has been found desirable to
have this service performed by men
who have had actual war experience.
he explained recently, because appli-
cants for enlistment invariably want
first-hand information about living
conditions at the front, and only men
who have lived at the front are quail
fed to furnish such enlightenment.
We would prefer to have this recruit
ing work done by uninjured soldiers,
but every British and Canadian SOL
der who is fit for active service is
needed TO hold the fighting line.
Every sane person realizes that
war means risk of life and limb. and
insane persons are not wanted in the
British army On the other hand, the
fact that these lads have survived
their injuries-some of which would
surely have resulted fatally if sus-
tanned five years ago-proves that the
risk of life in war is much less than
il used to be, thanks to the discover
les in surgery, and the casualties are
much less because of the improved
means of self-protection. But. so far
as that goes. the man who considers
his personal safety or comfort above
everythings else is not the kind of
man who would volunteer to fight
nor is he the kind of man We are
seeking TO enlist for this war"

NEW YORK, Dec. Awhile there

the reason that signs are not lacking

the only system in which the trans
actions, as we'll as the business papers
illustrating them, are identical with
those in the business world. BY bring
ing the student in contact with actual
business papers, such as drafts. in

attending the transition from the
school room to the business office.
