THE AUTUMN COATS
 MAKE THEIR DEBUT

Though the weather man continues his maddening report of "fair and warmer, we fear him not at all, for we have far weightier things on our minds than the mere rise in tempera- ture. The time to seriously plan the the Autumn wardrobe has come, and nothing can interfere with that de- lightful task. Indeed, it must be more carefully planned this year than ever. There is no better form ula for the woman of fashion than Personality Plus Patriotism"
 Naturally, the coat plays a very i'm portant part in the scheme of things this time of the year. Cool weather demands a coat, and fashion decides which coat. The smart wrap makes a deep impression on the casual ob- server, for, as every one knows, ap- pearances count for a great deal in this world. There are top coats and suit coats and evening coats; and, oh, the number of fascinating models there are to choose from! r.
 The top coat has been so very pop ular for some time that we have come to feel that no wardrobe is complete without at least one. On Fifth Ave nue one feels almost nonplussed by their great variety. There are coats that cling to the figure, proclaiming in every line their allegiance to the straight silhouette. The draped coats, rivals of the straight-line effects, have sofe outings and folds cum ningly arranged to give the required fulness across the hips. There are

PROGRAM FOR FOUR
 MINUTE CAMPAIGN

In an effort to arouse Arizonans from their general condition of apa- thy regarding the war and for the purpose of bringing home clearly to them the seriousness of the situation and the need for concerted action, there has been organized under the direction of the State Council of De- fense a corps of what will be known as Arizona Four Minute Men"
 Instead of shouldering musket as did their namesakes of Revolu- tionary days, Arizona's Four-Minute Men are firing verbal broadsides. Every motion picture theater in the state is being pressed into service as part of the program being mapped out for the Four-Minute spakers, and every phase of war conditions and the need of preparedness will be taken up by them in the campaign which is to be conducted.
 Although the Four-Minute speaking campaign is to be carried out here under the auspices of the State Coun- cil of Defense, it will in nowise be a local proposition, as similar cam paigns are to be conducted in every state in the Union under the auspices of the National Council of Defense.
 In the campaign to be conducted in Arizona, county organizations of speakers will be formed and they will formulate speaking programs which will cover every theater, school house and other public meeting place in eV- cry city and village in each county. The county organizations will coop crate with the State Council of De- fense and will be under the direction of George J. Stoneman, who has been delegated by the National Council of Defense to act as chairman of the Arizona Four Minute Men.
 Among the subjects to be discuss- ed in the statewide speaking cam- paign will be the pressing need Of food conservation, the elimipation of surplus delivery service in mercantile establishments, the utilization of ev- cry available bit of "man power" in the country, and similar topics. In their speeches on war subjects, the speakers will not speak longer than four minutes. ..

INDIANS RE-MARRYING TO
 PRESERVE LAND TITLES

Many Indians who have been mar ried long time, according to the customs of the Yumas, are taking out licenses and marrying under the laws of Arizona for the purpose of making their children lawful heirs to the lands they hold under the allotment of the government on the Yuma res- ervation. It is understood the mar riages are the result of an order from the government in it's desire to thor oughly preserve the title of the lands of the families to whom they have been allotted, the Indian marriage custom not being sufficient to invest their offspring with title to property owned by their parents.--Yuma Sun.

ter of temperament, alone, End the coat where you please"
 A Wonderful Evening Wrap.
 "The stuff dreams are made of,' seems to have been used this year for the evening wraps. They are so sof: and lustrous, so marvellous, and yet so simple, they seem in perfect har- mony with the tints. Of course, vel vets, plushes, broadcloths and satins are the favorite in colors and combi- nations of colors that they do not seem the same old materials. The one illustrated here is very, very sim pie, and absolutely irresistible. The collar is charmingly draped, the yoke effect gives so becoming line, that one is tempted to say, "This is my ideal"

Straight Lines, and Smart Top Coat coats without bit of trimming, there are coats with braid, and coats with fur, and coats with buttons. The Chi nese influence, so strongly predicted by Paris, has not as yet gained as- tendency, though I saw a stunning wrap the other day, combination Of beige and black, hanging straight straight from the shoulders, with the wide kimona sleeves and narrow belt. There was a waistcoat of many colors in embroidery and beads; indeed, the waistcoats are quite feature of this mode.
 The Practical Coat.
 The coat for everyday wear must of necessity be extremely simple, de- pending on the charm of line, color and material instead of on a great deal of trimming. Fur is still used to a great extent, though not so uni versally as last year, when one felt completely out of style if there was not mile or two of fur on coat and dress. Collars, cuffs and pockets may be banded with fur, or, if satin is used, very pretty trimming is wide Hercules braid. Stitching, too, will be used great deal; two or three rows on the collar and cuffs make an exceedingly pretty finish. Many of the coats fasten up to the neck with broad collars of the same material or of velvet, fur or satin.
 A particularly good example of the smartness of simplicity is illustrated here. It has the Empire waistline so becoming to the young girl or small woman with the girlish figure. It belongs to the drapery family, though the straight silhouette is also followed. The smart pockets are real ly useful as well as being ornamental. The collar, fastened so snugly here, is equally attractive if left hanging loosely. Sometimes swagger shoul- der cape is worn with coat of this type.
 Colorings this Autumn will be q trifle subdued. It is rather a relief, I think, to see the soft grays, tans and greens after the kaliedoscopic shades of the summer. Chocolate, dark green and blue are predominant ing colors, with here and there the alluring charm of the russets, tawny oranges and brilliant coppers. Never has there been season when the color woman really loves and ad- mires can so easily be used. Combi- nations of colors, too, are seen every where. I have in mind one charming creation of dull rose combined with taupe.
 The suit coats vary in length, from the very short Eton jackets to the

TOLL Of BOND
SUBSCRIBERS

Hammond last night had $50 Liberty
Loan subscribers who had taken up
ss9.35O OF the city's 100000 allotment
of the second Liberty Loan Bond issue.
That is less than s per cent OF the city's
bond quota, with only fourteen days re-
naming for buying.

Next Sunday forenoon. beginning at

that the ciergymen speak to their con-

The banks OF Hammond and West Ham
mOnd anticipated the question and in
order to accommodate the public have
agreed to give the public, without charge
the use of the bank vaults for the safe
keeping Of the bond.
The banks are handling the bond issue
without profit and with considerable

ALIENS CAN
NOT BECOME
CITIZENS NOW
Judge A. B. Anderson in
Federal Court Makes New
Ruling This Morning.

Aliens or allies of aliens cannot be
come citizens of the United States dur
ing the duration of the war
This declaration was made yesterday
BY Federal Judge Albert B. Anderson in
Federal court session at Hammond.
The jurist refused thirty petitions for
full naturalization papers rendered by
Austrians. Turks and Bulgarians.
Citizens OF an enemy country or
allies of an enemy country cannot dur
ing the duration of the war become citi-
zens of the United States" declared
Judge Anderson.
This sets a new precedent. Last April
Judge Anderson admitted Austrians,
Turks and Bulgarians to full citizenship
rights but refused petitions asked by
Germans. To gain naturalization rights
the alien petitioners must wait until aft
er the termination Of the war.
Sixteen petitions were accepted by the
court yesterday.
