new YORK NOD|SlES
ADVISE GIRLS TO PUT
BY MILITARY STYLES
Mannish Fashions VIII Be
Hastily Abandoned When
Boys Come Home.

b New York, Nov l6.-When the boys
come home they will be so tired Of
everything military that II behooves the
girls to lay aside all those cute little
semi-uniforms and warlike paFapherna-
liza II they wish to resume diplomatic
relations.
That was the opinion expressed TO
the United Press today by the leading
modistes along Fifth avenue and in
other New York style centers. This does
not mean a return to extreme fashions
and exlravagant display so prevalent
before the war, however. There will be
little letting down of the bars of fem
iniue frivolities and no letting down of
the short skirt. While the necessity
for conservation Of materials is expect
ed to decrease gradually, the idea was
advanced that, because of its comfort
and the increasing popularity Of silk
stockings the short skirt has come to
stay. So that great national question il
settled
Not only win military styles become
passe, according to the designers, but
all mannish fashions will be abandoned
in favor of things typically feminine.
This win have psychological effect
on women's work, IL was said. As one
modesto put it,
"The women must clothe-themselves
in lovely gowns and lingerie so they
may feel new impetus to take up the
womanly tasks they temporarily laid
aside to help the men win the war;
AS for men Is clothes-not that it is
important--this winters ministerial de-
signs win carry right through the
spring and summer and unless the gov
ernment revokes its conservation dress
within two months. They'll be wearing
the same old stuff next winter. Most
of us do anyway.

German destruction Of the magnificent
ediflce that has been described MS

Cardinal Lucon, archbishop of Relms,
granted the editor of Eyerybodys,

the archbishop told Mr.. Wheeler, "the
Germans have stated that the French
army had been using the towers of
the cathedral for observation purposes
and that guns had been concealed
there. The fact Is that the French
leaders, fearing that harm would come

RISK LIVES TO CATCH FISH
Indian Boys Get Rich Harvest From
Breaking Waves OF the Coast
Of Washington.

Even the lads Of nine and twelve
years at the old Indian settlement of
La Push, nesting behind the pinnacle
rocks that rise out of the Pacific ocean
off the mouth of the Qulllayute river
in Washington, are doing their share
toward winning the war. The lads,
half dressed, dash across the beach
to meet the incoming tide, wade into
the water and wait for the waves to
break with fish. AS the combers break
the lads dash into the boiling surf
and rake the ocean for fish. FREE
quently the waves dash over the boys
heads, but they never lose their foot
ing and the danger Of the work does
not excite more than passing attention
from the old women weaving baskets.
During the day the Indians ut La
Push village average fully ton Of
fish caught with dip nets. The older
men help with the curing when their
days work Is done, but 1t Is the boys
task to capture the FISH.
With each tide thousands Of smelt
are driven inshore. Each lift Of the
dip nets from the surf generally
brings basketful Of fish.
Three Of Qulllayutes are now in
the military service. There are now
$50 men, women and children In the
little settlement, but each Is doing
his or her share with fishing, war
gardens and other activities to help
win the war.

APPEALED TO BOYS IN KHAKI
Fllrtatious Damsels Had No Chance
When Busy Little Knitter Ap-
peared on the Scene.

Two girls travelling on train
through Hooslerdom could have learn
ed lesson from plain little Indiana
school teacher, had they been wise
enough to do so. They were going on
pleasure trip and determined to have
pleasure all the way. On the train
they munched candy, read magazines,
played rhum and tried In every way
they could to attract the attention of
two uniformed young men near them
but all In vain.
The little school teacher, who was
on her way to attend a county insti-
tute, got on the train at a little country
town. Shyly she entered the car, quiet
ly she took seat across from the two
girls, who were rather noisy In their
efforts to gain notice, and Immediately
after she was settled she began to fin

Industriously she worked--so intent
on her work that she noticed no one.
But the people noticed her and ap-
preClated her zeal and the quality Of
her patriotism. They smiled whenever
they passed her seat and proffered her
the loan of their papers and books.
And before many miles had been tray
eled one of the khaki-clad youths was
beside her and the other one opposite.
The sweater had been examined, the
process of making it explained to the
youths, and now they were telling the
little teacher camp stories.

about "some peoples tastes" because
