Autumn wardrobe has come, and moth

is no better formula for the woman of
fashion than Personality Plus Patrio-

Naturally, the coat plays very i'm

This time Of the year. Cool weather de

which coat. The smart wrap makes \

The top coat has been so very popu-
ar for some time that we have come
to feel that no wardrobe is complete
without at least one. On Fifth Avenue
one feels almost nonplusscd by their
great variety. There are coats that
cling to the figure, proclaiming in every
line their allegiance to the straight sill
houctte. The drared coats, rivals o.
the straight-line effects, have soft puff
fings and folds cunningly arranged to
give the required funcss across the hips

PATRIOTIC SONS
 0F HEROIC SIRES
 DOING THEIR BIT

It is an interesting circumstance that scions of many of the most fam ous Americans are donning the uni form of their country, in readiness, as M. Viviani puts it, ito carry the salute of the United States to free Europe"
 A recruit in the navy is Wallace Leonce Farragut, great-grandson of Admiral Farragut.
 Quentin Roosevelt, youngest son of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, has en- listed in the signal officers reserve corps. Josephus Daniels, Jr., the 23-yeaf- old son of the secretary of the navy, has been accepted for service in the marine corps.
 Franklin K. Lane, IT,, son of the secretary of the interior, is student at the United States army aviation school at Newport News
 Grant T. Stephenson, son of former United States Senator Isaac Stephen son of Wisconsin, is second officer of the torpedo boat destroyer Cassin. Junius Spencer Morgan and Adrian Iselin, Jr., sons of two of America's O. OdtCoC CopAldAlOCo StAu lluolOlCi o, have enlisted in the naval coast de- fense reserve.
 Richard M. Fairbanks, son of for mer Vice President Fairbanks, is among those enlisted for the off cers' training camp soon to be es- tablished at Fort Benjamin Harri- son.
 Three sons of former Mayor Hemp stead Washburne of Chicago. and grandsons of Elihu E. Washburne, secretary of state in President Grants first cabinet, have joined the colors.
 Two sons of Carter Glass, the lighting" member of the Virginia congressional delegation, have passed examinations for commissions as captain in the officers reserve corps.
 Richard l.. Hargraves, son-in-law of William J. Bryan. former secretary of state, has rendered his services to President Wilson in ally capacity in which he may be able to serve.
 Marshall Field III, grandson of tho famous Chicago merchant and rated as one of the richest young men in America, has taken steps to enlist as a private in the First Illinois cavalry.
 Ulysses s. Grant III, son of Gen eral Frederick D. Grant, and grand son of President Grant, is a major of engineers in the regular army, and Ulysses S. Grant, ", son of Ulysses S. Grant, Jr, and therefore also a grandson of President Grant, has en- listed as a private in a New York na- tional guard regiment. ''-
 And among others who are likely "to carry the salute" to France are men bearing the names, of Fitzhugh Lee Philip H. Sheridan and Joseph l Wheeler, as we'll as numerous other i descendants of eminent civil war sol- diers on both sides.

The wheels of business have not slowed up lon account of the war" The embryonic panic following the outbreak of the state of war has been nipped in the bud. Nothing was more impressive than the manner in which certain large corporations bought big newspaper space in the altruistic spirit to tell the public not to curtail purchases at this time. The arguments, forcefnily presented, caused millions to reconsider tighr- = ening up on their purse strings un- necessarily, and serious panic was thus averted.
 As President Wilson himself said in his last notable message, the busi- ness life of the nation must be kept stable. An economy panic" now would irreparably weaken the nation in the beginning of it's greatest crisis. With a business breakdown at home, q forceful prosecution of the war would be difficult, if not impossible.
 The public has undoubtedly bee.l convinced that departure from it's established modes of life now is dan- gerous. Our factories must be kept operating, our people employed. The market for production must not be curtailed. Buy and sell as if noth-
 
 that can be given.

THE KAISER CAN END IT.

It is given to Kaiser Wilhelm to end the war at once.
 All he needs to do is to abdicate.
 With the kaiser off the throne and the royal family of Germany merely private citizens, the allies would con- sder peace terms at once.
 The interminable bloodshed of the European battlefields, caused in the first place by the uncomfortable am- bitions and national ,.ride of royal families and their diplomatic and aristocratic satraps, can be ended and lasting peace assured by the voluntary act of the kaiser
 If his heart is touched by the ceaseless slaughter, if he is human enough to weep at the terrible cost of the most cruel war of all times, he should forget a victorious defense and take means to stop it. All that stands in the way is pride of place and selfishness. If he lets it sink into his Soul that all his mighty war machine is now fighting for is to save his throne, ha will conclude-if he be actuated by Christian principles to ever SC slight an extent-that the price his , people are paying for his throne i'll blood isn't worth the outlay.
 If the kaiser resigns to stop the war. many of the things laid against his door and the door of the royal family and the ruling class will be forgotten. He will be considered as Ia man who forgot self in contem- plating the good of his people and hu manity.
 He will be regarded as a king whe saw the handwriting on the wall and took the message to heart. By resigning. the kaiser can save | the lives of about a million men. Il would be a noble act-nearly toa much to expect from king.

EASY TO DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre With Sage Tea and
 Sulni,ur

YCu Gan Brsng Back Color and Lustrc
 With Sage Tea and
 Sulphur.
 When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so even ly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the reaGy-to-use preparation, im- proved by the addition of other in- gredients, called "Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, talk ing one small strand at time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dis grace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. This ready to-use preparation is delightful toilet requisite and not a medicine It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.-Adv.
