Feminine BREECHES
ARE HERE TO STAY
Trousered Evening Gowns Popular
Among Chicago Women.

Chicago. Aug. 11.-Yes, they're here.
Trousers for women and not for work.
ing women, either. Formal functions
this fall and winter will witness the
advent of trouser evening gowns. The
official heralding of the feminine
"breechess" came last evening at the
opening Of the semi-annual garment
show.
When gardening and outdoor work
became the fad among women at the
beginning of war, and the general
call for vegetables sent thousands of
them into the fields, trouserettes be-
came popular. They were so COM
Portable that the idea is not to be
discharged. Also, it is a fact that
women wanted to wear breeches.
One feature of the garment show
Is the return of the old-fashioned
basque our grandmothers and mothers
wore, the tight-fitting concern that
gave her the architectural lines of a
wasp.
Light shades will predominate dur
ing the next six months. Several
new cloths and shades are shown.
Furs of all kinds will be used to
trim winter coats.
Recreation costumes are a perfect
scream with their marvellous riot of
colors. Greens, red and orange are
thrown together with reckless prodi-
gality and the effect Is stunning.
Coats and capes will be lined with
brocaded silks and satins of the
gaudiest and richest hues.

SAMMIES in FRANCE
WILL SELECT MOUNTS
Gen. Sibert, 1t Is Expected. Will
Choose a l7-Hand Sorrel.
BY DANIEL DILLON,
SAD Correspondent I. n.

American Field Headquarters in
France, Aug. 1.-THE American ex-
peditionary force is soon to witness
the martial sight of Gen. Sibert and
his staff cavalcading on horseback.
The mounts, which will be bought
from the French government, have
arrived at the camp and the selec-
tion Is now being made. Gen. ST.
bert, on account of his size, needs
a big animal. A seventeen-hand
sorrel now appears the probable Sc
lection.
American officers travelling in
France and purchasing horses from
the French government, are surpris-
ed to find the number of animals
the French are able to dispense
with. The French claim they have
100000 head of horses and mules to
sell to the Americans without weak
ening themselves.
Our army is purchasing stock for
every branch of the service. The
animals are all broken to the siren
uous war work. They are splendid
types
The camp Is intensely interested
in the gas chamber now being con-
structed for the troops to expert
ment in with gas helmets and
masks. This work Is under the di-
rection of a former Harvard profess
sor, who is an authority on gases
and has been studying the English
and French methods during the past
three months.
1t is believed he has found pre-
ventive measures that will insure
complete safety for the men in
dangerous training.

EXILED FRENCHMAN
ARRIVES in PARIS
Emile Baily, Deputy. Was Driven
from Home by Germans.

tBy ASence RADIO TO Il. ". 81
Paris, Aug. 11.-Emile Baily, MEM
Der of the Chamber OF Deputies from
Lens. who was repriated by the Ger
mans. arrived in Paris this morning
after spending three years in exile.
He was met at the station by his SOL
dier son. AS Baily embraced his son,
he sobbed
Speaking TO newspapermen about his
experiences, he said:
''The spirit of the French people In
the invaded regions Is wonderful. But
they have suffered terrible losses. We
were given three hours notice by
the Germans to leave. That was on
April !. I claimed the municipal
funds of Lens. but the balance Of
100000 was $4,000 short when the
Germans finally turned over the
money.
THE Germans blew up the Lens
branch of the Bank of France, the
city hall, a church, and many big
buildings. They destroyed the mines
in 1915 on the pretext that we had
used them as galleries to communi-
cate with the British. Thanks to the
aid rendered by the Americans and
the Dutch, the population had enough
to cat"

AMERICANS ADVISED
TO MAKE SAUERKRAUT
Department of Agriculture Experts
Indorse Fermented Food.

Now is the time to make sauerkraut.
say officials of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. Tremendous
rainfall throughout the country has
resulted in an enormous cabbage
crop. Nine out of every ten pounds
Of cabbage is water. Lack of rain
last year sent the price of cabbage
from g and s. a ton to 800 and 500.
One million dollars worth of last
years crop OF cabbage was made into
ssuerkraut. but even so there was
such a shortage of this valuable food
material that the price rose from So 80
a barrel to S35.
The ancient art of picking or fer
menting food. as a cheap and simple
means of preserving it in large guam
titles. Is highly Endorsed by the de
partment's experts. The advantages
OF this method of food conservation,
say the departments officials, are
that II is simple. requires little labor,
practically no outlay of capital. and
takes care of food in larger quanti-
ties The method also lends variety
TO the home menu. Full Information
will be sent by the department to
anyone wishing full details regarding
the method.

HUN is DEFEATED,
SAYS DISTRICT BOY

1.-THE Germans are defeated now, but
they won't admit It,"
Thus writes Thomas G. Wood, to
his cousin, Foster Wood, of this city,
who has been designated for the Avia-
ton Corps, in a letter just received
by the latter.
Young Wood declares that the shell
holes of France contain sights that
can't be mentioned on paper and that
everything on the front points to the
Hun.
II have listened to the enemy's ma
chine guns rattle, and seen his star
shells in the night" writes the WASH
ington boy at the 'front.'" and they all
spell one thing to me-the Hun must
be beat"
