The y. S. Shipping
Board Proposal

The shipping boards offer to
settle the car line muddle has, ap-
parently, only further complicated
the situation.
The tone of it's letter to the city
and the traction companies indi-
Gates scant or no consideration for
any of the city's sincere proposals.
1t virtually commands the city
to give the traction company ex-
actly what it demands. Thus it un-
justly places upon the city respon-
sibility for the inadequate service
and the inadequate wages paid to
the carmen, instead of where it be-
longs, the traction company itself.
On top of it all, the shipping
board practically demands that the
city, too, charge Scent fares, and
more, on the municipal lines. The
city lines are paying on a Scent
basis.
There is no reason why the
shipping board should ask the city
lines to charge IT'S patrons 6 cents.
This whole proposition must be
decided in the interests of the pub
lie, taking into consideration at
this particular time the necessity
of supporting the governments
war program.

VELVET is REPLACING SATIN
Only Material That Can Be Safely
Worn Against Face Without Re-
lief After Twenty.

More and more we notice velvet re.
placing satin. There is no fabric on
earth which softens and beauties like
velvet. II is the kindest material in
the world when it is placed next a
woman's face and it is about the only
material that is safely worn against
the face without relief after one is
over twenty.
One of the loveliest of velvet models
is shown in black (good black velvet
always looks like a million dollars).
The waist has deep V in front which
EXTENDS at least nine inches below the
waist. This is filed i'm with q Ma
donna 1lue georgette. The top of the
georget,e Mt the neck is cut square
across. The V is then outlined with
fur and The fur, of course, goes around
the ba-. e he neck.
The skirt is made With two TUNES
which open at the front. Both are out
lined with this fur edge. the fur going
around the bottom and then up TO the
waist. The sleeves are quite long oven
the hand, smo0th-fitting and without a
bit OF trimming. There is not a touch
of embroidery or braidlng of any kind
on this frock and 1t is quite handsome
and distinctive.

Well, Where Does II?

w. r. Seeker, manager of the Lin
coin hotel, says often he is regarded
as n regular bureau of information,
and like most hotel men is supposed
TO be walking encyclopedia.
Seekers son William often wishes
to know the 'whys" and "wherefores"
of some almost unanswerable mat
tiers.
'While putting Billie to bed the
other night and on leaving the room, I
switched out the light" he said. "Bil-
lie called me back saying: Daddy,
turn on the lights again. I obliged ;
then he asked me to turn out the
light.
"Then like bolt out of q clear sky
Billie queried: Daddy, where does
the light go when you turn it outT "
According to Seeker, the best he
could do in the emergency was to say
that Billie's mother would explain ii
all in the morning.-Indianap

brown, skin. and she is not youthful,
then brown is mt for her.
The other types will choose as fol-
lcws: The very fair blonde will
choose from the green browns and the
bronzes. Then the lovely redheads
who seem to think that they have Il
monopoly on the color will look their
Lest in the deeper, rich, dark tones of
brown. Some of them if they are
quite sure of themselves may attempt
the tan-and-yellow browns. The be-
twlxt-and-between girl who is neither
quite blonde nor decidedly brunette
will find the golden browns best, or
perhaps those with a suggestion of
pink In their makeup. The brunette
who hasn't sufficient color TO warrant
her being called vivid is privileged to
wear any shade of brown. She can
go In for red browns TO her hearts
content, as may also the true bru-
nette with olive skin and pink cheeks.
Her more fiorid sister will appear 10
advantage in the golden browns.

LONG COAT SUITS
Outer Garment Serves Well Over
Sheer Afternoon FrockS.
Knee Length and Longer Is the Rule
Followed by Many of the Lead
ing Designers.

Many of the hlgh-grade, expensive
suits now being shown for winteb
have coats that are so long that they
may, If desired, serve as separate
dressy coats over sheer afternoon
frocks, especially if the color of suit
and dress blend satisfactorily. Knee
length and longer Is the. rule fol-
lowed by many Of the suit designers
who are regarded as style authorities.
OF course, these very long coats are
used only with the suits made OF
handsome rich materials. Suits for
general and sports wear are equipped
with coats that average 81 to SO
inches.
The suit shown in the sketch Is an
example OF the type that will be Of
fered In velvet, velveteen and many
Of the handsome, soft pile fabrics.
Fur trimming is featured. Touches
of handsome. heavy embroidery add
to the beauty Of the garment.
Satin suits are playing an impor-
tGnt role In the showing OF winter
models. Some OF these are made of
regular, heavyweight satin; but a
fabric that Is wool on one side and
satin on the other Is being very much

featured. the wool side being often
used as a trimming for the garment.
That is, a suit of the fabric may have
the satin side turned out, and bands
OF the other side trim the skirt and
be used for cuffs and collar. Heavy
silk crepes are also much used in the
development of suits.
An interesting suit of broadcloth re-
Gently seen had the coat skirt round
ed at the back Git was full knee
lengthy and trimmed with several
rows of two-lnch-wide velvet ribbon
in contrasting color. The front of the
coat was of the cutaway type.
Detachable fur cuffs, collars that
may be snapped, fastened down TO
form shawl collars or revers or wrap
ped around the throat scarf style, de-
tachable vests and panels that fold
up to form NUTS are special suit fea-
lures.
The straight silhouette is the pre-
vailing one.

Has Floats Like Footballs.

One of the newest types of life pre-
servers consists of a belt to which
are attached two or three inflatable
units shaped like footballs. Each has
a casing of properly reinforced duck,
and is lined with a rubber bladder
having valve at one end for initiating
it. The preserver weighs only about
one and 0ne-fourth pounds and when
debated can be carried in the pocket
Equipped with two bags, il has suffi-
cient buoyancy for use i'm swimming,

SHAWL SCARF, NEW FEATURE
Finished With Fringe and So Ar.
ranged That II Can BE Left
OFF Entirely.

The narrow shoulder cape is seen
on many of the newest and smartest
wraps. II hangs only from the back,
however, and does not come over the
shoulders.
The shawl scarf, which can be
thrown over one shoulder, is also a
new feature. It is finished with a
fringe and is so arranged that 1t can
be left off entirely.
Some of these heavy velourS and
duvetyn wraps have beautiful en-
broidery in heavy wooden threads of
contrasting color. This is not unpleas-
ing, as such trimming is new and I'M
usual enough to be welcome for its
novelty. For instance, dark brown
coat of military cut shows trailing
sprays of flowers, done in this heavy
wool and outlined with black threads,
to give them tone. For the most part
the newest wraps are made for service
and utility and have nothing frivolous
about them.
Not so, however, are the dressy, de-
lightful brocades and velvets. These
have claimed all of the foolish, perish
able, beautiful notions that the stern
winter coats forego, and reveal them
selves in fabrics as soft and transpar
crepe de chine and rare velvets and
brocades. Fur bands them from hem

Euaenies and EnaIlsh science.

Eugenics may be described as the
study of agencies that may improve
or impair the racial qualities of flu
ture generations, either physically or
mentally, the declared aim being the
betterment of the human race. The
science was founded by Sir Francis
Gallon (1S22-191I, famous English
statistician, anthropologist. and trav-
eler. He distinguished himself by his
remarkable work in anthropometry or
measurements of the human body. For
some years he conducted a system of
anthropometrical records at South
Kensington Museum, London, complied
from measurements taken from visi-
tors to the museum. He founded the
study of eugenics at University col.
lege, London.

BROWNS AND WHO WEAR THEM
Popular Shades for Blondes and Bru-
nettes Of Any Type-Supply Is
Adequate for All.

IF more women had finer appreci-
alton of the part that color plays in
making them attractive or unattrac-
tive, and in affecting their feelings
there would be noticeable decrease
In the list of the popular shades so
called, declares fashion writer. Take
for example the craze for tango color
that possessed the feminine world not
SC very long ago. From lily white
tlonde to florid brunette everybody,
or nearly everybody, managed to in
troduce tango somewhere on her per
son. The result? Well, that is best
judged now that the craze is over.
However, there is still plenty Of
of room for color crimes, for another
season Of brown is being prophesied.
Now there are as many shades and
hues and tints Of brown as there are
ladies to wear them. But somebody
whispers that the red browns are de-
cidedly to be the thing. Which means
that all types and ages of women
from the blondy blonde of tender
years to the sallow woman well past
her first youth is going to go Gin" for
red brown. confident that she has

won. He piled Bavaria and the lesser
German states together, placed Prus-
sin on top OF them, and held the
Hohenzollerns on the top of the whole
pile. BY show OF armed strength Tin
which the war against Austria and the
war against France We're planned as
exhibitions) he forced HOhenzollern
into world powerfulness. Long be-
fore he died he planned another war
against France as another exhibitor
of German strength. A reason for the
new war? He had the same reason
that slave driver has when he dragS
an innocent black before the assem-
bled slaves and beats her until she
falnts. Hchenzollernlsm must, every
so often, show it's power. The world
must be kept cOwed.
The Difference.
So you see how two nations have
reached world power--the United
States and the imperial Hohenz0llern
Germany. We grew; Imperial Ger.
many planned and schemed and forged
bayonets. We are a world power be-
cause we are great I'm size and
strength; Germany was world power
because she was a theatener of muir
der. She was world power because
she carried at all times a bludgeOn.
Imperial Prusslan Ger
many was n structure of bayonets; IL
existed, as Bismarck would brutally
admit were he alive today, for the
honor and glory OF the HOhenzolerns,
and for no other reason. 1t was 10
prove that Wilhelm Hohenzollcrn,
king of Prussia. was world power
that Germany was driven into the war
we are now fighting, and not to prove
that Germany was world power.
Germany has paid a dear price for
HohenZollernism of the Wilhelm II
variety The world has paid fright
full price.
Germany without the HOhenzollerns
would be great nation and true
world power. AS IL is, she is a bleed-
ing, wounded, hungered tool She Is
being used by HohenzOllern to prove
that n Hohenzollern king of Prussia
can do what he pleases with Prussian
slaves and the slaves of Prussia. This
is HOhenzollern war. 1t was planned
by Hohenzollerns to keep the Hohen-
zollerns of Prussia firmly seated on
the throne, and for no other reason.

Dialects in British Isles.

Several languages and many dia'
lects are spoken In the British isles
In Northern Scotland most of the
people speak Gaelic, as they once
did in Ireland, where the Gaelic
language has been undergoing q
revival In recent years. The Welsh
have a distinct language of their own
which is Of Celtic origin. The Cor
nish people until far into the eight
eenth century spoke a Celtic language
very similar to that spoken by the
people of Brittany in France. Nearly
every shire Of England has its peculiar
dialect.
