Newark, Los Angeles, Portland and
Oakland. These are in addition to
those who have previously complied
with the request made by the govern
ment in time o. war for the general
welfare of the country.
The adoption of this program has
made it possible to avoid replacing
employees who have been drafted or
who have entered essential war work.
The large stores of thirty cities have
been able to operate with 35 per cent
less of force, and the saving in
automobile trucks has been 40 per
cent. This is according to the reports
made by these stores to the War In
dustries Board. Limiting the return
of merchandise to not more than three
days has made an average reduction
of &c per cent in the amount returned,
because of greater forethought in the
selection and ordering of goods. In
smaller stores, one, delivery day has
enabled one deliveryman to do the
work that formerly required two. In
thirty small stores in several towns
in one eastern state, the number of
deliverymen employed has been re-
duced from 116 to 55, as their men
have been called away for other SER
vice. The experience in these cities
shows that there is no hardship to the
public through these restrictions.

SUBS NO LONGER A MENACE
Allies Have Destroyed 65 Per Cent
of U-BOats Sent Out by Germany

Senator Claude A. Swanson, acting
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Naval Affairs, is greatly encouraged
over the war situation. He says that
the German submarine is no longer a
menace; it has been curbed.
"The allies have destroyed 65 per
cent Of the submarines sent out by
the Germans" saiG Mr. Swanson.
"That is 5 per cent more than ] spoke
of during the raids off the Atlantic
coast. We are gaining against them
all the time. We destroy the subma-
rines OF the enemy faster than he can
replace them"

sustain its submarine warfare for a

GRACE THORNCLIFFE=

FOR street wear no other dress can k outrival the blue serge for popular A ity. It is always in good tasteD sim pie and smart in appearance, and can withstand considerable wear with only few evidences of 1t.
 Tn previous seasons we have seen tho combination of blue serge with varying white collars and cuffs uniform and su. preme in favor. This year, however there is more variety in the blue serge combination.
 Black satin ia combination with blue eerge is one of the most frequently seen designs. Wool embroidery in orange. green or sometimes group of more or less harmonizing colors, is seen. Black braid. soutache trimmings and a gener- ous variety of buttons are also used con- siderably.
 Blue serge also lends itself well to the popular military treatment-high collar, wide braid and buttons. Some of the frocks, indeed. look almost like complete suits by virtue of the wide braid trim ming on blouse and skirt.
 The serge frock shown in the accom- panying illustration Is a rather unusual model. It has a wide, square neck, fin ishing with very plain but sheer ecru collar of batiste. Cuffs are Of sheer ba- tste in the -+erae color.

NEW DAY NURSERY
 ON EAST SIDE

Soon the St. Vincent's Day Nursery will be removed to the new and lar ger quarters at the corner of Penn broke street and Barnum avenue, that was donated to the association by the generous cooperation of some of the manufacturers of the city. The Nursery, opened by the Catholic Char itable Bureau is doing a noble work and thousands of children are being cared for during a year. During the past year 6,665 children received proper care by the nursery.
 The Juvenile Delinquency commit tee of the association co-operates with those members who deal with children and they endeavor to restore the re- ligious life of the child. Two women of the committee attend the session of the Children Court daily to study the cases brought up. Hundreds of chill dren have been befriended in this way and given a home.
 Catholics of the city. especially, should become interested in this or ganization. The greater per cent of the juvenile offenders are Catholic, which makes the problem greater. Poor housing, inadequate recreational facilities, all tend to drive the child to the street where they are led into all kinds of scrapes.
 The chief need at the present mo" ment is more free homes for Catholic children. There are 200 babies at St. Agnes Home in Hartford, awaiting homes. There are 400 children at St. Francis Home in New Haven, many of whom are awaiting placement The Catholic Charitable board is striving hard to place these children, and state and city agencies are co-operat- ing to locate homes for these unfortu- mates.
 A nominal fee is charged for each child. The nursery is not a self-sup- porting institution, and the continued interest and support of friends are earnestly solicited to aid in carrying on the work.

PROMINENT FIRM TO OCCUPY NEW
 QUARTERS JAN. I.

All the women of this city are nat urally very much interested in the important announcement made yes- terday by Rockwell & Co. First because of the fact that there was to be a price reduction on it's stock and secondly that the firm intends to move on January into greatly en- larged quarters. When this firm re- duces it's prices the public is assur- ed of getting it's regular stock for an appreciably smaller sum. Rock well IL Co. have always maintained a high standard of quality which has been the reason for the large meas ure of success that 1t has attain ed.
 In speaking yesterday to a repre- sentative of the Times MT. Rockwell said that he hoped to be able to get into the new store at 1138-1144 Main street on January l. The new store will comprise one-half of the first floor of the premises formerly occupied by the Dorsen Co.,, and the
 three floors above as well. It will be a most complete ready to wear store for women and the same stan dard of quality will be maintained in all the added lines that has made this store so popular with an ever increasing clientele.

Diary of a Fashion Model


and also the clever little slit pocket, A patent leather belt loosely encircles the waist, and beneath 1t is short peplum outlined in corded black satin. Note the tiny pocket in the waist, from which 6 small corner of a handkerchief protrudes.
 This is very simple frock, yet the few features which are different give 1t a considerable distinction. The one ob- lection we often hear to the blue serge frock from women with good taste in dress is that it's so easy to sink into the commonplace models. It is true that thousands of the selfsame model of blue serge gown are made, but it's equally true that with a little thoughtfulness one can initiate little changes which make the blue frock really distinctive.
 A narrow belt studded with dull brass nail-heads may change the entire ap- pearance of the frock. Little pockets In skirt or waist, outlined with braid or embroidery, are also very effective. For the pale girl who yearns to wear blue serge, but cannot stand the contrast to her complexion, the introduction of a l bit of scarlet makes the dress very be- coming. This color may be in some very
 narrow braie, or it may be a touch of
 red in the combination black patent
 leather and red kid belt.
 Another way of getting the benefit of the red in the costume without actually exposing 1t is to use a red silk lining In the collar. This will reflect a pinkish | tinge to the complexion, without making | the color show in glartng contrast,

FEATHER TRIMMINGS.

Grebe and pheasant feathers were never more fashionable, and the pheasant plummage, particularly, ap- peals to fashion this year because it has the golden brown, rust and henna tones that are the craze. A small walking hat is of brown felt with brim facing of brown satin. The feathers, which completely encircle the crown, shooting off smartly at the back, are in tones of cream, burnt amber, henna, rust and black. The small fan wings in black. posed at the front, accentu- ate the elongated line of the hat.
 Another long, narrow hat is of grebe feathers in green and blue iri- descent tints, and small fan wings in taupe color project from the crown at intervals, slanting backward just as the fins of a fish project from it's body. This hat sets flat on the head with no brim at all. It is severe, but tremen- dously smart. Some hats of beaver felt have turned up brims faced with the grebe plumage, and the effect is rich and beautiful, though these hats are not very study and may be worn only on occasions.
