AS in the styles for their masculine
elders, the keynote OF boys fashions
in both suits and overcoats runs to-
wards belts and shirred backs, belts
and yoke backs, belts and pleat
back, belts all around three-piece
belts, two-piece belts. mock belts and
then more belts
In short. the belted garment in
various conceptions of expression Is
the dominating style for fan and
winter.
The designers of these garment
have run riot to introduce distinctive
touches Of novelty into their models
to get that different" effect from
the other fellows with a result that
the fashions are varied and volumin-
GUS
But withal there 10 superlative
degree OF nattiness in the boys
styles for this season that Is pleas
ing and pronounced.
In the suits the lapels are a tribe
wider and shorter than heretofore
and come either to a very sharp
point or a slightly rounded peak.
Collars are high set. pants are Of the
bloouner style, but with a trtne less
bagginess than last season and come
q trife higher below the knee.
Coat cuffs show many forme OF
novelty ornamentation expressed
mostly by button treatments and
cloth tabs. Pockets are either patch.
Zap, slash or inverted pleat. The
zap pockets are unusually embellish-
ed with button schemes.
The general designing motifs Of the
boys suits is the back Of coat treat
ment. These are evidenced by either
bcx pleats or inverted pleats. though

rows and rows with silk thread. It
Is satisfactory to note that most Of
the we'll made autumn costumes are
silk -sewed in seams and hens, but
here and there one discovers frock
in which the maker has sought to
save a few pennies by substituting
cheap thread for silk in the sewing.
Such substitution should be looked
out for by the woman who shops, for
cheap thread spoils the lines and
looks of a costume in no time at all
Such thread fades, and collects dust,
and shrinks when the frock is given
a pressing, making puckery
breadths.
Concerning Sleeves.
Fall frocks for day wear have
long sleeves without gathers at the
top, though fullness is often appa-
rent between elbow and wrist. Cuffs
are elaborate and add much to the
smartness of the costume.

Tailored Finish and the Straight
SiIhouetta Dominant Feature
New Modes Can Be Worn BY Stout
Women as Well as Thin Ones.
Navy and Khaki the Favored
Shades.
At first glimpse OF the new frocks
for fall, you exclaim: How charm
ing they are, with their combina-
tons of silk and serge, of satin and
chiffon, Of tartan velvet and sikh"
Then you realize that there is a
reason behind this combining Of fab
r1cs-Paris is seeking to conserve
the supply of wool, for this is war
time and the soldiers must be
clothed.
Another thing that strikes you in
the new dresses. is the prevailing
simplicity of line which makes for
dignity. Materials are rich and
beautiful but simplicity of style
seems to be the ideal aimed at.
Tailored effects are evident in
frocks for general wear, and the
formal costumes have beautiful
draperies, sleeveless jumpers Of
crepe and chiffon; and everywhere
is the slim, straight, unfurbelowed
silhouette-a silhouette, by the way,
Inarvelously becoming to the figure
that is not fashionably slim. Indeed
there seem to be no stout women any
more, for the carefully proportional
lines of the new sveltline movement
in Dress disguise curves so cleverly
that even a very large figure takes
on an aspect of slenderness. Ex-'
pensive modistes have achieved such
effects for their customers in seas
ons gone by, but now that the svelt-
line ideal has been established gem
orally, even inexpensive ready
made frocks show this intelligent
knowledge OF what the stout figure
needs-not merely an enlarged size
thirty-six or thirty -eight, such as
the possessor of a size forty-four
figure has had TO put up with here
tofore; but a skillfully planned cos
tune of right proportions with lines
and trimmings arranged to subdue
pronounced curves and give the
straight, graceful silhouette of the
moment.
Khaki coIored FroeI<s for Fall.
Many OF the tailored frocks OF
wool jersey, serge and mohair are
in khaki color for an obvious rea-
son-the same reason that makes
the French woman wear army blue
these days. Gray is fashionable
also.

1 ALL HAIL TO THE
KNITTING NEEDLEI

During the first few months Of the
war there developed at various
places throughout the country clubs,
social circles and the like, whereat
people who felt that they could spare
the time and money very willingly
set out to knit" socks, wristlets and
various other items for the soldiers
abroad. For a time IL appeared TO
be quite a fad to spend two or three
hours a day knitting for the various
foreign funds. At the present time.
however, there are numerous clubs
and societies where this work of
mercy is being done in all serious
ness. American women are now do
ing their bit" for American men
and this puts an entirely new light
on the subject. Almost continually
statements are issued from the
various official sources in which the
general public is given an idea Of
the Btupendous work that is before
us.
Many divisions Of the Red Cross
throughout the country have offered
those who are interested in helping
the cause. the opportunity to get
wool yarn for the purpose OF knitting
socks, wristlets and sweaters. This
privilege. however, IL for those who
cannot supply the yarn themselves
yet have the desire to do something
in the way of helping.
Each and every woman should
make IL her duty to do some part Of
this national work. II one stops to
consider at all the great necessity Of
preparing the necessary comforts for
the men in the service Of the coun-
try the seriousness of the situation
will be brought home TO all.

of a better man than myself, and
cheer me with a high example.

sharp or gentle rebuke is in order,

have lost their faith In blood letting;
and they know that clumsy surgery

PREVENTION AND CURE.

A fowl free from lice is, as a
general thing in good condition. In
nine cases out of ten a sickly fow
is lousy.
There can be no good health where
lice and mites abound.
In order to build up hardy stock,
breeders. Such birds should never
have been i'll, should not be under
sized, and not closely inbred.
Colds are frequently produced by
the fowls overcrowding on the roost
at night. When thus huddled to-
gether they are apt to sweat and
the moment they get Off their perch
they chill.

THE l. w. w. MENACE

The federal government has at last opened it's eyes to the menace of the l. w. Wv. Instructions were sent out today from the department of justice to govern mcut agents in Washington, Oregon and California to arrest all leaders of the l. w. W. for treason. They will be treated as traitors in time of war.
 The |. W. W. agitation should not be confused with patriotic trade unionism. Organized labor and its representatives have aided the National Council of Defense i'm Washington with fidelity and high pm- pose. The leaders of the l. w. w. have
 tried to use mionism as a cloak and have .cvcrvwhcrc cudcavorcd to fomcnt trouble land unrest. These l. W. W. chiefs most of them rorcign-bon, have been preaching Scdition and treason to the republic. They have openly succrcd at the war, denounced the federal government and upheld the rights and justice on the warfare which the German kaiser iS making on the world. Bv threats and intimidation they have pre- vented many from working. Department of justice agents have proven that Ger man gold has been backing this movement and that the greater part of the soap-boX oratory is being paid for by German spies and agents in this country at so much per speech
 The country is at war. America's eX- istcurc is threatened The people are in mo mood to hear longer the mischicvous haraugucs of enemies within our borders, In foreign lands such conduct would mean instant death before firing squad. It is q testimonial to the liberty which these same agi,ators rcvilc, that patient, slow going America has tolerated their cant and rautmg thus rar.-Tacoma Tribune.

WHALE MEAT

According to some of the corrcspon- dents. the whalcrs up around Washington and Alaska are appealing to the authori- ties in this country to aid them to intro luce whale meat. They state that millions of pounds of it goes to waste every year, and if there were market for it, it would help along the meat supply and prove to bc a cheap diet besides. They would be glad to do their part in introducing it and in furnishing it after it is introduced.
 The Japs have been using whale meat for thousand ycars-and they like it. The Eskimos eat it to some extent, but prefer the fat, OF blubber-thc very part of the animal we would not prefer. But our whalcrs. after securing the animal and ob- -ainng from it the oil and bones they de- sire. turn the balance of the huge thing adrift, to be eaten by the varmints and the birds.
 There is mo reason why whale meat should not be good-if only we could ac- .ouirc taste for it. The whale is an ami .mal. not a fish, and its food supply is clean land wholesome and fresh. It is in no sense a scavcngcr The flesh resembles beef, a little darker red, and is not tough. It is rather highly favored, but that ought to be in it's favor since We have acquired a taste for such highly favored food as the turtle and the tcrrapin, to say nothing of the grounding and coon. Besides, man has learned to like the taste of tobacco, and there isn't any other animal on earth that seems to like it.
 Further, while learning to like whale meat, if liking for it has to be learned we might acquire a taste for some of the weeds that are now useless, and serve something new with our whale How would a ragweed salad do to serve along with a cut of'whalc, or bmdock stew on the side. If only we could learn to prepare and tC like the weeds, what a world of food this would be to live Cambridge (Ohio) Jeffersonian,

Cross is after rcsults-money and mater ials to be used in alleviating suffering among the soldiers-and if organizations are to be all wound round with red tape, the efforts of the majority of the Red Cross workers will be taken up with rules and regulations rather than with the work of what is needed on the front. Lo- callv the Red Cross organization has done wonderfully we'll by following along ccr- tain lines of common sense and without being cnmcshcd in red tape. Results have been obtained and that is the primary and main purpose of the organization.

! Kennebec Journal correspondents
and reporters have been asked to con-
fine their reports to real news events
in the next few weeks, because OF pres
sure upon our crews and columns by the
mass of Legislative matters. The
Journal will, as in the past, handle the
entire stenographic report Of Legisla-
tive proceedings, in addition to running
stories of the chief features, committee
hearings and developments from day
to day. These reports will be prepared
by experienced writer's who are famil-
far not only with the States affairs
but who are in the confidence OF the
lawmakers themselves.
We shall endeavor to present the
claims OF both sides on public ques-
TONS II we favor one side over an
other we shall have good reasons Tor
doing so and give them, but we cannot
attempt to do as much for all others
who may choose to express themselves;
our space is too valuable during a
Legislative session.
That is our part, as we understand
it, and, after that, our readers Will
agree that individuals interested IN
special subjects should not attempt to
argue their cases or to influence pub
lie opinion through the Journals Let

We call attention to our difficulties at
this time, because in the past we have
been overwhelmed by demands of pro-
ponents and opponents of certain meas
uros just in advance Of committee
hearings. Of course our advertising
space is always available to those who
are sufficiently earnest in presenting
their side TO make use Of it. There
they can argue their case at their own
expense. as we Go our pet measures at
our expense.
