Coats for general wear-it almOsr
goes without saying-should be wealth
erproof; but weatherproef garments
have to be that and much more to
meet the approval Of the sophisticated
woman of today. She requires crisp
style and substantial quality in them
and cheerful colors.
Two rainproof coats that declare
themselves ready to meet the most
critical eye are pictured above. The
only departure they make from the
rules that govern in the seasons coat
styles, appear In the matter of length.
Nearly all coats are several inches
shorter than the frock worn under
them, but the rainproof coat is priv
ileged to be an inch or so longer.
The coat at the left is a smart ex-
ample of the military style and moth
ing will be quite so appropriate for a
coat for all weathers. 1t has big patch

protecting the gown under it perfectly.

mended.

ments that manufacturers make SO
nearly like hand-knltted ones that 1t is
not always easy to distinguish between
them. There Is more precision in the
machine-knitted sweaters, all the
stitches exactly alike, but many of
them are finished with hand knitting.
Leaving out the sweaters and sweat
er coats of silk and silk fiber which
are worn with sport skirts or other
wise, that are an essential of the
smart womans wardrobe, there are
many styles In the very practical
sweaters for real sports wear. Two of
these are shown in the Illustration
one for the "flapper"-at the right and
one for the grownup. These are both
of WOOL closely knitted and are classed
as fitted slip-overs. The sweater for
the little girl has collar and cuffs of
angora wool and Is a good general
utility model, while the other pro-
claims itself an ideal garment for all
sorts of sports.

the usual waterproofed wool materials
like serge, twill. covert cloth, etc. To
add to our comfort milliners have add

THE ENEMY
WE MUST MEET
BY William Allen White

(Mr. white, editor, author and King Of
the war and all OF its many angles while
on an extended visit to the various battle
lines OF the Allied armies.)
Back of the German lines every
ounce of food is conserved, and dis
tributed with fairly equitable pre-
cislon; every yard of cloth Is mum.
bered and is entered into the war
strength of the empire. Every penny.
weight of German coal is handled
with scientific care, and the one end
and aim of all this autocratic control
Of food and clothing and heat is the
winning of the war. There is no other
purpose in the German mind. Every
German mark is a German soldier;
every grain of gold is doing its full
share to work out that indomitable
purpose.
Here in America we must realize
that the war will not be won on any
front, but in our own hearts. This is
clash of civilizations. We must de-
velop in our hearts a democratic pur-
puse as strong and as carefully direct
ed as this autocratic purpose of Ger
many. We, too, must make soldiers
CT our corn stalks, make defenders OF
our wool and cotton and silk. make
every pound of coal an American
pound, and we must make bullets OF
our pennies. If we fail to develop this
democratic purpose in the eye to eye,
knee to knee, hand to hand, struggle
on the front, which, after all, only
reflects the strength of our convic-
ton, then our civilization will go
down. To fail to support our soldiers
with ammunition, with food, with
clothing, with coal, will weaken them
for the great conflict at the great mo-
ment, and that weakening will come
from our hearts at home. 1t will
come if we are slow with our finan-
cial support of the men. The Liberty
Loan furnishes us with the only way
we home-stayers can practically show
our purpose. Our patriotism will be
measured by our performance toward
the Liberty Loan. What we lend to
our country in this time Of need will
measure our love of the freedom our
fathers bought 1t is at stake. The
autocratic purpose Of Germany, iron
willed and yet unbroken, aimed at
world conquest is threatening us.
What is freedom worA to you? 1t is
worth what you lend to your govern
ment In this hour of its awful need.

Will you lend your

IS AMERICA AWAKE?

AS much as has been said and writ
ten in America about the World-War
In Europe, 1t is doubtful II America is
yet awake.
A man who returned from Europe
six months ago, said, THE farmers of
America are feeding to their cattle
today better food than millions of
people in Germany and Austria have
had at times. These people whose
governments are fighting us are sub
sisting on COW beets and straw bread.
All Europe is short-rationed and
hungry.
This is our war from now on. What
happens in Europe is Americas deep
est concern. There is not enough food
in the world. Either our soldiers must
skimp their rations or we must skimp
ours; either they must do without
some necessities or we must do with
out some of our luxuries.
Which shall it be?
Count on the Tomorrows. What
will your business be worth If we
should lose the war tomorrow? What
would you give for a farm in Russia
today? What would you give for a
farm In America If conditions were
such as they are in Russia today :?
Help produce. help conserve, and help
fight by buying Liberty Bonds. for

cts. The sports woman who has 1t
among her belongings will be fortified
against any weather emergency.
The loosely fitting, sleeveless, silk
slip-over is coming in for much consid-
Grafton as novelty for midsummer
wear. 1t is shown in vivid tones of
green, in rose and in blue shades. 1t
is not so altogether practical as the
regulation sweater coat, buttoned at
the front and provided with sleeves,
but 1t is amazingly smart. Among the
sweater coats there are loosely knit
models with plated skirts and knitted
sashes, finished with fringe that are
very handsome for mature women.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-06
THE WOMAN ON THE DOLLAR.

1t is generally conceded that women
speak their minds freely. The woman
on every American dollar that goes
toward buying Liberty Bonds will be
able to talk eloquently to the whole
world.

DOVER, Oct. 30.-Chief Engineer
Charles NJ. Upham Of the Delaware
state Highway Commission. who has
Just returned from Washington, has
been informed by the secretary of the
United States Highway Councils that
Delaware has done more CONSTRUCTION
and that a higher per centage Of its
applications for road work has been ap-
proved than any State in the Union.
In the face Of all this the building

recently disapproved on the ground
that there was more essential military
work that commanded materials. While
the application for the improvement
of this particular strip Of road was
made by New Castle county, it was
recommended and approved by The
State Highway Department.
After a visit 10 Washington and tak-
ing up the matter with The War De-
partment, and pointing out the absolute
need OF this improvement, Chief Engi-
neer Upham received a telegram last
evening from Washington that the re-
quest had been granted for the i'm
provement Of this very strip which
but a short time ago had been turned
down. New Castle county may now
proceed with the road between Mar
