Materials Not Included in Goods
Needed by Government.
FURS ARE IN GREAT VARIETY
Plain Clothes Are Obviating Fabrics
Demanded by the War Depart
ment-considered by
Loyal Women.

The shortest road to economy just
now is to use the materials not de-
manded by the war department, no
matter how expensive the substitutes
may be. At least so says the govern
ment. That ordinary aid to vanity,
common starch, notes correspondent,
may be a luxury the next thing we
know, for 1t Is used extensively in the
manufacture Of explosives. However,
so far nothing has been said about the
use or manufacture Of satin, lace and
fur, although it does appear extrava-
CANT to wear them at this time.
Whatever the modes may express,
femininity Is first and foremost, and
the materials at hand fit in well in
deed with the atmosphere Of the pres
ent moment. Very plain clothes are in
order, too, it is noted, but for strictly
business purposes, and when that very
busy person, the modern young wom-
an, doffs her uniform or working
clothes, it is to present herself In as
nearly the opposite type Of costume
as opportunity affords.
Satin is a fabric which Is always
fascinating. Ofce in a great while It
becomes little too prevalent and has
to be dropped for a time, only to re-
appear more triumphantly than ever.
Time can not stale or dim its luster,
and for the present 1t is as popular as
ever. In the lighter colors it is far too
brilliant for use in most daytime
clothes, but at night these shades have
their turn.
Combined with navy and darker
shades beige and gray satin are ex.
cellently suitable for wraps and trot.
teur dresses, but so much has been
written and seen Of this costume that
further mention is unnecessary. Satin
for capes and long all-enveloping
wraps has grown in favor for the last
few weeks and 1t must be classified as
truly smart. A good looking cape of
tan satin had a reverse side Of very
dark blue and was bordered all the
way round the bottom with deep fringe
Of both blue and tan. The collar roll.

versible. showing the opposite colors.
Long black satin coats have deep
bands Of quilted patterns, roses being
favorite pattern, and appliqued fg-
ures in gold were lavishly used on the
deep collar Of another model. Fiber
satin is extensively used for capes and
coats for motoring and for semisport
or utility wear.
After the use Of satins as an econ
omy Is exhausted and a bit Of real
warmth is necessary come furs, and
these are so charmingly set forth that
satin or thinner material, such as
georgette or voile, worn with furs, will
probably take the place Of the smart
blue and beige serge frocks which
were last seasons fads.

CUBS AND YANkS LUCKY
TO GET STAR cATcHERS

The Chicago Cubs have been
noted for years as a team that
gets good catchers. For years
Johnny King was the ranking
backstop Of the National
league, and after he went back
the Cubs had another star In
the person Of Jimmy Archer.
After Jimmy passed from the
stage of greatness the same
club got Bill Killefer. The
Yankees in recent years have
been specializing the same way.
The capture Of Bill Walters was
a master stroke, as he is rated
today as one of the best mask
men in the game. Now the
; Yanks come up with another
star backstop, Harry Hannah.
Meanwhile Miller Higgins in.
sists that Muddy Ruel is one of
the best young catchers he ever
saw. Tom Clarke, a steady vet
eran, also is with the team. Hug .
gins surely is well fixed in catch
ing talent.

time.
The hanging basket supports flow
er pot In which grow some pretty ferns
or blooming plants. The basket is made
Of brass rings covered with crocheted
thread in any desired color or combi-
nation Of colors. The basket can be
made Of heavy cord crocheted and
then vanished or dipped into thick
starch to give 1t a body. The chain by
which it Is hung Is made Of crocheted
rings sewed together and Joined at
the top to q hook.

that way? Why didn't you get up and
say you'd go, anyway"
"Why, Miss Marvin, thought trial
was a trial. 1t would be queer for a
man to say: oh, stop it, I'll confess
I'm guilty. just to stop the fuss,
wouldn't it?''
swell, yes," Mary admitted, ''but
you needn't let it come to that. Why
do you suppose the Lord gave you all
that strength If not to defend your
country?"
"Oh, why" stammered Bert, "I'll go
If you want me to-" But Mary had
walked away, her head in the air.
Bert was puzzled. He had heard
little discussion of the war. To him it
was matter of age. He'd go when
called. What was the matter with the
girl? He'd go ask her.
Mary hesitated, then held out her
hand. "I-mother says I was rude to
you today. Forgive me and I'll tell
you how I feel about it."
So Bert received his first lesson in
patriotism from the lips Of pretty
girl, too much in earnest to remember
that she was pretty; that Bert was
handsome-or anything else except
that she wanted him to be soldier.
Presently Mrs. Marvin came in and
Bert spent the happiest evening of his
life. When he arose to go he asked
and obtained permission to come again.
4 Returning to the Windsor, he saw
light in the Free Press Office and went
up to thank the editor for his kind
ness. He disclaimed any credit, say
ing that he was friend of his family;
intimated that Bert was glad not to
60 to war.
"Why, no, Mr.. Pressman, don't care
much either way. Thought I'd go.
when called; but I've made up my
mind to enlist. I'm not a coward"
But the editor dismissed him with a
curt nod, to Bert's chagrin.
His lessons in patriotism progressed
till the town wond cred if Bert would
stay in Hays or Mary go to the noun
tains. Bert was sure that life without
Mary was not worth living. But Mary
tearfully but firmly refused him, dear
ly as she knew she loved him; she
could not marry man younger than
herself-she was past twenty. Bert
did not tell her he had enlisted, but
said good-by and took the first train
back to camp. A dreary journey, but
more than one Indifferent chap who
talked to Bert had his views changed
about his duty to his country.
His camp fellows met him eagerly,
glad that he was back; they had MISS
ed him; had some mail for him, too.
1t was a belated letter from his
mother, telling him Of sickness, dis
cOuragements and inability to get mail,
but the paragraph that held his at
tention read: "YOu are now Of draft
age, my dearest son, because after you
were hurt and missed school, gave
you the birthday Of the baby that died,
so you'll not seem so behind in school
work. No one knows this, dearest,
but mother and you. Do as your heart
bids YOU"
"Heart's all right, mother DEAR" he
whispered, kissing the letter. Then to
the camp:
swell, fellows, I came back to tell
you the news. I'm engaged to the
prettiest girl in Ellis county, and have
enlisted in Uncle Sans army-in Col
orado-didn't want to stand in the way
of any Hays patriots-so better be
good to BERTHE while you've got a
chance"
Of course, the announcement of his
engagement was bit hasty, but Mary
corroborated it when told the particu-
lars.

stantly raided defenseless cities and
towns in France. Great Britain and
Italy since the war began. The state
department made public the German
note without comment. 1t follows:
The German aerial forces have been
under orders since the beginning OF
October of this year only to make
bomb attacks which are directed sole
ly against important hostile military
objects within the immediate area of
operations of war. These orders were
issued on the assumption that the
enemy aerial forces were to receive
similar instructions.
I'm assuming this the German peo-
pie find themselves disappointed. A
short time ago the enemy bomb at
tacks on the German towns of Wetv-
lar, kiserslautern. Mannheim. Lud-
wigshafen. Freiburg. Forbach and
Weisbaden claiming numerous VIC
tins among the civilian population.
Nor has occupied territory been
spared. 1t is evident that Germany
can refrain from aerial attacks on
enemy territory behind the area of
operations only If, on their side, the
enemy from now on will reciprocate
and also refrain from making aerial
attacks outside the area or military
operations"
