WHY EMPEY is NOT
CAPTAIN in ARMY

CHICAGO, Aug. i2.-Msny have been
the conjectures Of late as to why
Arthur Guy Empeys commission as
captain IN the United States army was
held up Just before it was to be issued
TO the fighter and author Of over the
Top
An occurrence while Empey was ap-
pesring In the new play Pack Up Your
Troubles at the National Theatre IN
Washington may throw slime light on
the mystery.
In this Empey made his debut as
\ speaking actor though he had already
appeared In the screen version OF the
story "Over the Top"
President Wilson attended one OF the
performances during which Empey
made a certain speech.
IN his exuberance and enthusiasm
Empey paid q high tribute to the men
who had fought in the French and Brit
ish armies during the early part OF the
war. and compared the United States
army now over there unfavOrably with
them.
The real heroes OF the war, Empey
bsid in effect. were the volunteers who
tvent over IN the FIRST place and not

bnly because they were compelled TO
do so.
President Wilson was noticed shifting
b his seat. crossing first one leg over
j knee and then another and otherwise
bhowIng that he was not fully enjoy
lng himself.
Empey finally ended and retired into
Tie wings. but the expected burst Of
applause did not follow him. IL Is said
hat he was defiant in fsce Of the criti-
tism hurled at him by the dictators OF
he company.
1t was about this time that It was
lnnounced that Empey had been made
t'cspiain in the United States army. But
he full formalitles had not been gone
through with, II seems. While the com
mission had been recommended, II had
lot been signed and delivered, and three
lays later came the announcement that
here had been a mistake" in connec-
ton with the granting OF a captaincy

FASHIONS AND FADs.

Summer frOcks have fanciful cuffs.
Lace trimmed lingerie Is fashionable
Much tulle IS used for hat trimmings.
Tulle bows are edged with fine col
ored thread
So many new hats have trimming at
the back.
Gray is very important note in
mourning costumes.
Shirtwaists are trying 10 so collar
less for q change.
Charming mourning hats are made Of
GeOrgette crepe.
Simple frocks Of silk or chiffon have
most important place in the summer
outfit.
10 may be that the persistence Of the
cape fashion" may in a measure pre-
vent a recurrence OF last years sum

Parasols are very important part
Of summer costumes.
Deep crushed belts are feature OF
the summer silk dresses.
Rough dark blue Jersey silk makes
a pertty, useful frock.

Children's waist lines are marked by

Tucks are the FIRST choice IN trim ]

There are as many high heeled shoes |
worn as theer are low ones.
Undergarments and sports blouses
are made Of artificial silk.
Tulle and chiffon scarfs are bordered
with fine colored checked silk net.
Silver gauze and silver net make a
wonderful evening dress for summer.
Capes for sports wear. for evening
wear. for street wear continue TO be
popular. for new models are delight
ful with their many combinations.
The almost forgotten calico dress
is back in remarkable favor for house
and porch frocks. Its new printings
are TOO lovely Tor any woman TO re-
sist.
There are four things in fashion
that are often discussed today; the Sc
we're, uncollared neckline, the short
sleeve, the cape back and the lack OF
chiffon blouses.
There are great numbers Of sleeve

sey and satin. and they seem likely TO
keep firm place in fashion through

COTTON SUBSTITUTE
FOR SILK IS TESTED
Ordnance Department May
Save $35, 100000 in
Powder Bags
FABRIC TREATED
CHEMICALLY

WASHINGTON, Aug. i2.-Chemically
treated cotton cloth, az a substitute for
silk, Is being tested by Tho Ordnance
Department, and II found practicable
for ordnance uses Will effect tho double
result OF meeting a serious shortage in
silk and OF bringing about money
saving In the ordnance program estl-
mated at between s25,OO0,OOO and S35,-
0OO,0O0 according 10 a War Department
statement.
Preliminary tests have encouraged
the department to proceed further with
It's experiments. and for this purpose
an order for 5000 yards OF the new
material has been placed.
AT present millions OF yards OF silk
are required in making the bags which
contain tho large powder charges used
in the firing Of heavy artillery" said
the departments statement. These
bags are inserted in the gun immedl-
ately behind the proIectile. and tho flr-
ing OF them gives the propelling force
that hurls the prolectlle at the target
Heretofore SILK has been depended
upon for these bags, for the reason
tnat no Otnef clOtu llaltflhl has beth
found that would meet the peculiar
required. 10 Is essential that
not a particle Of the bag contalner shall
remain after the gun IL fired. Other
wise a smoulderlng piece Of the fabric
might cause a premature explosion
when a new charge was inserted
owing 20 the great scarcity OF silk, !
however. the cost OF this material has
Increased enormously. This shortage
Is felt by all the warning Powers, In
'ludlng Germany.
Early In the war Germany Is under
tood to have used a chemically treated
,ott0n as a substitute for silk. but has
inoe been compelled by the diminish
ng cotton supply to resort to other
ubstitutes
ut ia estimated that the chemically
reated cotton cloth now being tried
ut by the Ordnance Department, II en-
rely suitable. could be purchased in
lmost unlimited quantities and al
