High and Tied at the Side.
arbitrary powers, government manage
ment Of railroads, and the steady and
swift approach of prohibition? Take
the very question of woman's apparel.
The limitation of yardage was a vol
untary measure, adopted by all con-
cerned, before the government had
made one move toward the industry.
1t was a beau geste, as the French say,
freely made by the leaders of the
great interests connected with wom-
ems clothes.
SO with that much settled, we pass
to the condition of the sartorial out
look for spring, with quiet minds. 1t
is an attractive one, in which individ-
ual good taste, and good judgment,
will have full play, within the limits
Of four and one-half yards of material.
Dressmakers have acknowledged al
ready that this suggestion of lhnita-
ton, this difficulty, has spurred their
invention. 1t Is like the rules of a
game, which are necessary to insure
a good contest. Never has a study Of
ones individual type been more profit
to suit all figures, all faces, and all in
comes. If q woman likes, Oriental eff
fects, turned-under skirts, straight
armlesS coats and sashes, she will find
them, as she may in the sketch shown.
If she prefers the Occidental, she may
choose the frock of gray silk, with an
embroidered cape and tunic of chiffon
and keep the sash, weighing 1t with
a bright pink rose. She may fold a
length of brocade around her and hang
her arms and neck with strands of
jewels. She may swath a satin frock
in clouds of tulle she may cut it plain
ly of crisp taffeta. She will find in
dorsement for any fancy among the
products of the biggest names in the
world Of dressmakers.
Study Ones Type Is Spring Slogan.
"Study your type" is a more impor-
tant slogan than ever, for 1t cannot be
said that any definite clothes guide
post has been erected for our guidance
along one definite road. Rather there
is a series of delightful paths, each
one tending in the same general direc-
ton, but each with endearing charac-
teristics of it's own. They merely wind
through the same sort of country. A
woman with any idea at all of what
suits her, will surely prefer this to the
single monotonous highway, common
to everybody. These variations are
shared by all phases of dress. They
are just as true of the new millinery.
No sooner do we hear that small hats
are in the majority, than the news Of
dropping brims breaks upon us.
Nothing very startling; a narrow sill
houette, far better managed than its
predecessor; charming details, clever
cutting, with a great discretion in dec
grafton and accessories-these seem to
be the leading features Of Americas
first wartime spring. They promise
an excellent choice among garments
which will suit our mood, give practi-
cal service, and keep the whole vexed
problem Of woman's apparel from rev.
dictionary measures which might have
~far-reaching serious consequences.

If German invention has coined anything beyond Kultur or as we best know it frightfulness-it is the one phrase, "The Ladies of Hell. :" In polite society, busy with its knitting needles, this awesome and rather shocking sobriquet invites a suggestion of Furies; and that is just what the Hun sought to convey.
 "The Ladies of Hell," as Fritz calls them, are the gallant Scotch. Kitchener referred to them as the grandest soldiers in all the world the backbone of the British army. And Kitchener was an Irishman. Ex- ploits of the "Ladies of Hell" have been given little public notice in this war because the British govern ment is not given to open praise of individual regiments or troops and the pens of the poets are still too busy with other things to draft odes and epics to the lads of the heather.
 Given 600,ooo to The Cause.
 But German respect for these tra- ditionally noted fighters, conveyed through the expression, "The Ladies of Hel," and tales brought back by returned Canadians disclose witt shining vividness the incomparabl' valor of these kilted laddies iron the United Kingdom.
Arizona republican., 1918-06-23
Corporal Egande his leg blown of by shell Vi Rdge-Cop Leo Peon the first 330OO lost his leg at Lens after yninem continuous fighting

said Sergt. Boyle, "we were startled by someone falling in our midst. It was a German out on patrol. We nabbed him and took him back to headquarters. He proved to be 8 Saxon. The officers gave him a good feed and asked him when the relief was coming in and other questions.
 He'd Bring Elm All Over.
 "He gave answers very readily. So impressed was he with the reeep- tion he had received he said:
 "'I If you let me go back and tell the others how you have treated me I'll bring the whole battalion over He said the Prussian of fcers had told the men it was cer- tain death to be taken by the British. If he hadn't been ac- quainted with our positions we would have taken chance on him.'
 The kits worn by the Scots have been much in discussion in this war. At one time the British government seriously considered asking the Highlanders to discard their plaids- the government would never order it-because of their conspicuousness. Even though he realized this would decrease the number of casualties, the Scot turned down the suggestion fatly, but consented to wear khaki colored shield over the plaids.
 "Cooties" (body hcel have been the bane of the Scotch. "Cooties" are not very discriminating but they have a special affection for kilties. They climb up under the kits and take refuge under the waist band. It is no uncommon sight to see 8 highlander in the midst of battle drop his rife and begin hunt for 8 voracious "cootie," Dtshine gun bullets singing and shells bursting around his head the while.
 Baseball Takes With Scotch.
 American influence is playing havoc with Scotch pastimes behind the lines. The Scotch are rapidly becoming accomplished in baseball and short time ago when a High land nine defeated an American team the London papers proclaimed the fact all over one page.
 It is a cinch that after the wal the crack of the bat will be heard in many village in the land oi thistles and heather.

The Tale of The Wee Scots.

Every time they entered a trench the fire step had to be built up-also the parapet Likewise the relieving battalion had to reconstruct the whole works to suit their height. As fortune would have it the wee lads were going into position just vacated by the Grenadier Guards. All the grenadiers are six feet tall. They make up one of England s i'm perial regiments and are regarded as one of the Kingdom greatest and oldest collection of fighters.
 "Where you goin f" growled one of the grenadiers.
 "Up to take the position the grenadiers couldn't take," piped little Scotchman.
 And they did.
 Fair play is legendary with the Scot. Strange to say it is something the German doesn t like.
 When a Scotchman attacks with a hayonet he singles out his adversary, generally with, "Come on, Fritz, let's go to ut; it s you or me. .''
 If Fritz hasn't his gang he usually "beats it."
 The Germans Learn A Lesson.
 Scotch troops are one type that Germans will never maltreat.
 One day Prussians captured a half dozen Scotchmen, stripped them and sent them across No Man 'ss land to their own lines. As the men reached the center of the death strip, the Germans turned loose their machine guns.
 The Highlanders in the trenches without barrage or as much as g shot. went over with one bound witf their bayonets and cleaned out every Prussian in the opposing trench.
 The Scotch think well of thu Prussians-as fighters; pretty vel of the Bavarians and are filled witt compassion for the Saxons.
 "Were it not for the fact tn Prussians mix their non-commis stoned officers in with the Saxons, , said Sergt. Boyle, "they would d little fighting. The Saxon hates tn Prussian and the Prussian has onl, contempt for the Saxon"
 This led to little story.
 "One night while in bombin station just in front of our lines,

Bayonets Win Where Gunfre Fails.

"A fresh brigade was brought up to take the position. It failed. Pretty soon the Sea. forth Highlanders appeared with fixed bayo- nets. They were ordered to take the position with cold steel They weren t to hold it. others could do that; they were just to take it.
 "They took it-and just with their bayo. nets.
 "And l think of our own battalion" he continued. ''It was the 53rd, the Canadian Scottish Major Gordon commanded it.

The bonny land of Harry Lauder and Gen. Haig has contributed to the cause since the outbreak of war 6O0,00O hardy Scots and Canada has given up some 100000 who once sauntered through Highland wales and dells. It can be said with safety that there isn't an able bodied Scot of fighting age left in the cities and villages of theft native land. And it can also be said that there are thousands of little white crosses in France that mark the graves of de- parted "Jocks."
 Even greater have been the deeds of the Black Watch, the Seaforth Highlanders, the Kings Own Scot tish and the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders in this war than in the days when Napoleon saw their un- broken fronts at Waterloo and the Russians their Tapping kits on the Crimea. Time and again these regi- ments have been reformed; and never once have they emerged from conflict with anything but victory and laurels.
 Americans Now With Scotch.
 American soldiers are fighting shoulder to shoulder with these lads now and it is only well that Ameri- can fathers and mothers whose boys are brigaded with these valiant war riors should have a glimpse of the chaps whom Fritz has so respect fully dubbed, "The Ladies of Hell.

Stubbornness A Winning Trait.

Somehow or other when one talked or looked at these veterans of many battles-Smith fell at Vimy Ridge, Pierron lost his leg at Lens after twenty-nine months of fighting and Boyle was wounded in the great Somme offensive-one thought of Scott and of cairns and of Marmion. They personifed grit, stubbornness something that could not be broken. They were typical Scots. They went methodically about their business as they went about their fighting, quite certain they would succeed-with never a thought of failure. An incident reflected this spirit.
 Someone asked Smith, veteran of the Boer war also, about the great German offensive in progress.
 "What if they break drought" asked the questioner.
 "But what if they don 't7" was the rejoinder of the little Scotch man.
 Why The Germans Can't Break
 Through.
 "But what if they dol" persisted the other.
 "But what if they don 't7" re- peated the corporal, grimness showing through the fine scarlet of his cheeks.
 But what if they don't The little Scotchman knew.
 No avalanche of steel, no mass of human bodies, no wicked contriv- ance of war could wilt and crush the courageous will of the Scott He had seen it express itself too often.
 "When this war is all over," re- marked the little corporal, "just ask Fritz what he thinks of the Scotch. "
 Reference to the laddies of his na, tive heath stirred memories.
 "One day, I remember-it was al Hill 6o-yes, Hill 6O," he said. "Wt had been fighting night and day Our rifles would get so hot we would have to stop firing them.

 The Canadian government
 sent them to Akron, Ohio, to help The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company raise $1,OOo,O ,O0O among it's 22,000 workers for the third liberty loan. These crippled fighters lent such stimulus by their simple talks that the quota set by the Goodrich officials was raised in three days and $250, 900 more.
 Secretary McAdoo was so elated with the Goodrich efforts that he sent letter of congratulation to of ficials. Moreover, he indicated that the next liberty loan would probably embrace features of the Goodrich plan of financing the loan.
 An element that pleased MT. Me Adoo was the arrangement whereby every employe was given an oppor- tunity to say "yes" or Ono" to 8 request for a subscription. The en- thusiasm was such that no one could refuse to turn down a solicitor.
