 it's share of sports. Some night soon a member Of Company D of the Fourth New Jersey infantry, IS going to meet Jimmie Britt, and the boys of Company say Jimmie is going to have the sur prise of his giddy young life. They re- fuse to divulge the name of their fa- vorte, but it is understood he is an ex- professional, whose patriotism led him from the ring into the army
 Then, there is a bunch of Tulane Athletes from New Orleans at Camp Me- Clellan, who are spending their vaca- tion and keeping in trim for the foot ball season by working as time inspec- tors at the camp. One of these. Mo- Cutcheon captain of the football team of Tulane university, is now in bed with a case of tonsilitis, and on that account missed three wrestling bouts last night One of these was between Young Cas- sagne, an amateur of New Orleans, and "CaP' Owen, professional.
 Aside from the indoor sports, plans are well under way for the organiza- ton of a football league and basketball league among the several regiments sta- toned at the camp. A number of col lege men VIII f&ure In these teams, some of whom were well known on college grids last season. With the Maryland men are several Johns Hopkins players; Princeton, Georgetown, Rutgers, Wash ington and Lee and several other uni versailles and colleges will be represented and some lively games will be seen.
 Just now the boys are so busy polio ing the camp and getting shaped up thev have little time for any sport except swimming, but they are in the water a f every opportunity. There are two small lakes on the reservation and these are in great demand.

GOVERNMENT STILL PLACES ORDERS FOR
 STEEL PRODUCTS
Shortage of Coking Coal Causes Carnegie Steel Go. to Blow Out
 Furnace

New York, September s.-The govern ment continues to place orders for all kinds of steel products. including plate. sheets. spikes, rivets and various other kinds of finished materials. A shortage of coldng coal at some of the great steel plants in the Pittsburg district, attri- buted to the withdrawal of railroad cars from the mining sections of the central west by the government has caused the Carnegie Steel company to blow out seven furnaces and the Illinois Steel company three furnaces. The Steel corporation as a while has Il furnaces out The output of steel ingots in Au- gust by the corporation was better than July, due in part to two more working days, as compared with July ?. official statistics are not yet available, but the probability is that production amounted to nearly 1,760,000 tons.
 Consumers have not been buying any material for more than a month, but the market has been fairly steady during the practical suspension of new busi- ness. The sharpest declines have been in prices of semi-fnished steel, open hearth billets and Bessemer; slabs hav- Ing been onered at SlO aganst Sl00 III July as result of the disappearance of the competitive buying of shell steel for Europe Rolled products, semi finished steel and pig iron markets are drifting, resales being the only basis for gauging prices. Wire rods have shown some strength at s95. Resides in the pig iron market continues active with prices down to $50 furnace for No. foun- dry in the east A general buying move ment Is expected to develop as soon as the governments action in regard to prices is definitely known.
 The United States Steel mills will probably be called upon for large pro- portion of the 60,ooO tons of steel re- quired for 600o cars to be constructed in Canada for the dominion government. Export embargoes are held responsible for offerings of resale round lots of ship plates at 10 cents per pound. Japan has been actively in the market for | lots of 1000 to 2000 tons of bars, but
 mills would not accept only a portion for which 4.50 cents was asked Domestic business in bars for fourth quarter was done at cents.

tyn, which is soft and becoming shade of blue which nearly every woman can wear to advantage. The cape collar. which extends nearly to the waist and which is cut in the shape that was once known as the position collar. is made of squirrel dyed in rich taupe. There is band on the bottom of the skirt to corre- spond with the position cape and a huge barrel huff goes with the gown in order to convince women that they must not carry muffs made of any other kind of peltry or e5y will mar the appearance of their costumes
 The bodice is cut in the form of a jacket that extends nearly to the hips and is there Joined to a skirt that gives ones a5sstrong suggestion of be ing a redingote. There is a slight belt to define the waistline. row of buttons that go up the side and long, small sleeves that fit the arm.
 This is the kind of costume that will be in first fashion in the autumn and there is no doubt that a number of women will make use of it throughout the winter by wearing a bit of warm material beneath or add 7 ing a short fur coat.

FOUNTAIN OF GOLD
 BEGINS ID FLOW AT
 CAMP GILLIAN
Contractors and Quarter masters Disburse Prac- tically Quarter Million
 During Past Week

Anniston, September 9.-(Spe- cial.)-No wealth ever brought into Dixie equalled in volume that
 which is now springing from the
 big army camps in the southern
 states. Camp Mcclellan is a veri-
 table fountain of gold During the
 past week nearly a quarter of a million dollars was disbursed by contractors and quartermasters at the camp and the fountain is only Just beginning to flow. Later on,
 when all the soldiers arrive the monthly pay roll at the camp will approximate $1,500oOO.
 All day Saturday. groups of soldiers receiving their pay. Last Wednesday, the several thousand employees of the camp contractors were paid off. It is estimated that the two day rolls amounted to $240,000, although only a comparatively small number of the soldiers at the camp were paid
 Friday and Saturday nights every store in Anniston was crowded with khaki-clad shoppers, but all the boys did not spend their money foolishly. pr. Walter L. Hervey, director of Y. Nj. c. A. activities at the camp, stated that one express agent at the camp made out orders for money orders ag- gregating $1200 in one day and at the same Y M. c. A. unit on the same day, 2200 letters were written by the sol diers to friends and relatives The Y M. c. A. officials are conducting a thrift campaign and urging the boys to send a portion of their earnings to folks back home every month. It is understood that similar campaigns are being conducted in other camps.
 The boys are great letter writers. Almost as soon as they reach camp, the great majority of them make it point to send letters to relatives, advising them of their safe arrival and describ- ing the trip. One druggist in Anniston yesterday, sold $19 worth of 2cent stamps to the soldiers, and incidentlly many hundred post cards and packages of stationery.
 A great deal of the mail for the sol diers is being badly delayed by reason of being insufficiently addressed Col. George S. Gooda1e, chief of staff, stated today that all letters for men at the camp should show the title, company and regiment of the addressee, thus:
 Private John Smith,
 Co A, First Va. Infantry
 Camp Mcclellan,
 Anniston, Ala. Tn every instance the name of the sender should be written in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope.

 frock that is built to resemble a coat suit, and America finds it quite ef- fective.
 New York. September s.-The for nal fall openings of French and American clothes which take place during the last of September and the first of October will show an unusual assortment of new ideas.
 We are able in this department to give advance information as well as sketches of what will be common property in a few weeks and in look ing over the sketches from Paris and reading the letters and cables that describe whatever has been done one has a feeling of relief that everything has come out all right.
 Each season since the war in which Paris has shown new clothes to our buyers, the million or more people who are interested in the industry and subject of dress have held their breath and wondered if Paris will again be Paris; that is, would she lead in de :. termining the fashions of the day, in introducing novelties, in maintaining her close relationship with beauty.
 So far, during the three years of the war. in which there have been six ex- hibitions of clothes in Paris, the de- signers of that town have not failed us.
 THE NOVELTIES SHOWN
 This season there was a divided opinion as to whether or not Paris would be herself in that world of de- signing which she has made peculiarly her own over all other aspirants in the world. There were buyers who thought that the strike of the women who saw, which preceded the autumn exhibi . tions, would paralyze the output of clothes and render them scommonplace or half-finished
 On the other hand there was the feeling that the buoyant spirit that mas pervaded France since the first American troops arrived, a spirit which has as much to do with idealism as With the feeling of coming victory would produce an admirable exhibi- tion of clothes, and evidently, the op- timists were right.
 Those who are in Paris cable us that the collection remains a large mass of good looking clothes, which means that there is no one definite line that is struck.
 IHere nave been no fashionable women in Paris to try out the clothes before the American buyers saw them and to take upon themselves the advocacy of one kind of costume and one silhouette. However we in America do not mind the lack of that leadership in France. It may be very good for us that it has not happened Heretofore we were apt to buy the same kind of gown in the quantities that the government buys for its workers. This season, with hun dred varieties offered for our choice we may be better able to suit our particular and especial needs
 KEEP RICE IN MIND
 One of the novelties offered in cos tumery Is the one-piece frock that tries to impress the public that 1t is suit. It is, in fact. coat and skirt but the two garments are Joined to- gether below the waistline and can not be worn separately.
