COUNTY WILL
CONSERVE FUEL
Custodians Are Ordered Wherever
Possible to Save Coal In
This Time Of Fuel
Famine.

The first action towards the con.
servation of fuel in the county by a
public body was taken up this morn
ing. says the Ft Madison Democrat,
when the county board Of supervis-
ors passed a resolution instructing
the custodians and janitors Of the
various buildings of the county to con-
serve fuel whenever it is possible.
The action followed a request from
the fuel administrator which was i'm
mediately adopted by the board and
placed in force.
It is expected that the city govern
ing bodies in the county will follow
in line and will take steps towards
eliminating waste in coal and con-
serving the fuel as far as possible.
It Is pointed out that the careful
use of coal throughout the county
will mean the saving of many tons OF
the fuel. It was brought to the at
tention of the board that the rooms
Of the county buildings could be
kept at a more uniform temperature
without any OF the occupants of the
offices being affected, by the careful
maintenance Of certain temperatures
unless it might be benefit to them.

Bisbee daily review., 1918-07-07

nestle little apron of taffeta is made to look as business like as possible during war time. A spangly collar is a circular fringe of marine blue beads and paillettes that twinkle enough to serve as the only trimming.
 A frock of tan chiffon and tan cloth with gold embroidery on the chiffon blouse and a stamped design in gold on the wide tan belt above and below which rows of tiny twinkling brass rings carry suede stripes.
 A Quaker like grey linen with only straight and narrow tucks, a demure white organdie collar and an ingenu- ous white organdie sash for trimming. 1t is plainly simple but also smartly simple-and that is the whole duty of a summer frock.
 A gown of pale biscuit colored chif- ion adornless of trimming, it is soft and clinging. Quaint horse shoe loops of frilly ruffles that cascade up and down the skirt are of chiffon, picoted, and the bodice with its high neckline at the front and its hood like draping in the back, is chiffon too. The sash, however, is of ribbon deep purple on one side and pale blue on the other, with a wide blue and purple fringe at the bottom.
 In spite of many other attractive. thin materials the crisp, cool. floaty Organdy is selected by most women as the ideal hot weather frock.
 At present the most popular shades for organdy frocks are yellow and law ender, a lavender which is lilac by temperament And one finds worn with these girdles of narrow black velvet ribbon. Sashes of Organdy are also used, and there is, of course, constant employment of the grosgrain ribbon which crops up in every field of clothes
 A frock of organdy of burnt orange tint, girdled with brown velvet The flounces which are so dear to the heart of the thin maiden are given that de- sirable length of line by the folds of material extending from the shoulder. There is shocking over the hips, those tight short sleeves with the bell-like flounce which are encountered now so frequently and a little cluster of or ange and red fruit accenting the clip tioal neck line.

Of Interest to Women

black chiffon tie is draped under the cellar to fasten at the back. The same arrangement of French knots and draped chiffon is repeated on the cuffs.
 Many people no longer consider it bad form to be seen at places of amuse ment in black, but the rule remains that it is not proper to appear at any function in a long black veil; this Is still regarded as being extremely bad taste. The wearing of much jewelry is also poor taste. Although jet orna- ments are very popular In Britain one sees women dressed in their every day clothing going quietly about their duties as though the shadow of be- reavement had never fallen upon their fair land
 A daytime gown of cashmere is belt ed loosely at the waist and worn with cuffs and collar of organdie A small turban to wear with it has a brim of woven bands of crepe and a shirred crown of the same material A net veil is worn from the back of the hat
 Black crepe de chine forms the wide front panel and the back yoke of an afternoon frOck, embroidered in dull silk and belted with passementterie, then finished off with Georgette crepe.
 Nothing could be simpler or more ef- fective than the all black dinner gown with its slim lined foundation of char mouse over which is draped Georgette crepe The long sleeves and loose panel train give it the air of a tea gown.
 For summer afternoons or informal affairs a dress of black point d'esprit over black silk is cool and becoming. With it is worn a large sun hat of fine horsehair braid trimmed with black flowers and picoted black tulle. which hangs over the hat and is draped like a scarf
