WAR AND JEWELRY

If anyone had asked you when the war began what effect it would have on jewelry. wouldn't you have said that it would be rather to diminish the amount of this adornment worn by women than to increase it? In fact when We first entered rhe war there was some well intentioned woman who came forth and earned herself a brief moment of publicity by suggesting that while the war lasted women should wear no jewelry whatever.
 Now anyone who observes fashions and fancies realizes that the vogue for jew elry has in no way abated and that rather more jewelry is worn now than in previous seasons, Wearing jewelry is like eating yenison and green turtle. If you have the money to buy it it is the most patriotic thing you can do-- for the reason that you are depriv~ ~g no needy one by so doing. If you buy

Tour or i've winter woolen coats and Keep them for your own use this winter it might be said that you were ex- tremeiy selfish and not patriotic Be- cause the public spirited folk are buy ing for themselves only a reasonable amount of wool and are seeing that the rest of their woolen purchases goes to those who need it. But if you buy jew elry that you can well afford you are depriving no one No one has suggested that we could win the war with dia- 1nonds or pearls even if we had tons and tons of them at our disposal. It is ob- vious that this Christmas the young woman who received a piece of jewelry for holiday present is possessed of more patriotic friends than the one who received a fve-pound box of cane-sugar candy.
 war has brought into vogue the locllet is the leader. Soldier boys give lockets to the girls they leave behind them and soldier girls masculine lockets to the boys who bravely leave them behind. The locket counter in the jewelry stores you will notice is always crowded and usually by a goodly number of men in khaki.
 The masculine locket often takes the form of a fob, that opens as a locket does with space on one side for a pie ture and on the other with space on which may be engraved the name, regi- ment and address of the man who car rtes the fob. Then there is small sil- yer locket that may be attached to the uniform by means of small tape
 Of course, the wrist watch for men, and for women as a matter of imita- tion, has greatly come into favor since the war and a small piece of jewelry that is much in demand is the gold or silver filigree shield for the face of the watch that keeps the glass from shat terng in case it is broken but does not interfere with time telling. Watches with radium faces are especially desirable. Copyright, by the Mcclure Newspaper

What One Small Town in Alabama Has Done for the Red ganze Units Whenever am Called Upon Says Mrs. Orr|
, needed me with the splendid re

they needed me with the splendid re- suit that 1 have mentioned.
 It is beautiful thought to carry with us in this great world war that there are few slackers among women, from the richest to the poorest; the youngest to the oldest. The women are realizing everywhere that they must help to win this war just as much as the soldiers over there today.
 The sum and substance of President Wilson's Christmas message to his neo- pie was that we must beckon the God of our fathers. the God of our mothers, to aid us in bringing to successful con summation the great cause to which we are committed, and which women must hasten as well as men.
 While mobilization and direction of men is the big issue, hardly less in iIn- portance is mobilization of women to supply the men with comforts to keep them healthy and well during the fright full days that are ahead of them, and the task of stirring and quiekening the fires of patriotism and enthusiasm cannot be more emphasized than today, and none is more capable of doing this than our clever townswoman, Mrs. Orr. Her heart and soul are in it. She is a born organizer and leader, and her big-hearted offer to go wherever she is needed and instruct and talk with those who are not. as near the center of war activities as ourselves is noble and inspiring at titude
 The potential fires we call spirit slumber in rural districts just as val iantly as they do in the city streets. Stir this spirit in people who should know the true conditions and the absolute necessities of our soldiers, and how de- pendent they are on the work of woman s hands to carry out the great Red Cross drive which is the backbone of the army, and we will have splendid results, People everywhere in hotel and mart, in village and city, must be appraised of the urgency and the necessity of the call for help. and once the feminine world is mobilized it will mean that with such backing and support we will be an

THE PELTRY WRAP

There IS every reason to find a short warm fur wrap more acceptable than d long coat of cloth or peltry When one motors, these long, enveloping wraps are necessary but when one walks, shops or takes a trolley car, the weight is not easily endured in the street, and the warmth is not at all endured in the shops. Therefore the short jacket of fur, and sometimes satin or velvet. in terlined, has risen to high degree of popularity.
 The sketch shows one of these jackets, which has a strongly oriental bias made of dark blue satin which is interlined with that kind of quilted wadding out of which Japanese sacks are made.
 By the way, all this quilted material when it is soft, has come into favor as a lining for coats that are to be used without top coats.
 The blouse is belted across the front but it hangs loose in the back, like a cape The belt runs through slashes at the side, which are outlined in an elab- crate manner with orange embroidery The bell-shaped sleeves are trimmed with squares of orange embroidery and hang loose over tight cuff of the satin, which flares over the wrist
 A wide fur neckpiece is worn with this coat on the street, and the hat that is sold with it is turban of black velvet with gold fringe at one side.

I went up to Fort Payne a few weeks ago and or ganized unit there in conjunction with my units here and l have never seen such 8 hearty response as I was given. The work sent in from there is little short of wonderful; everybody is enthu- siastic and other towns adjacent to Fort Payne have signified their intention of following ut good example and doins their bit for their country in this way"
 Patt otic, public spirited, progressive. self-sl rificing, always, Mrs c. P. Orr, one of Birminghams most prominent and capable women thus commends the work of spreading the gospel. of Red Cross work for our soldiers into the small town districts of Alabama, and is will ing and anxious to give her services to organization whenever she is called upon
 Let me tell you what those splendid women at Fort Payne did," Mrs. Orr said. They brought their own wool they paid more for it than the regular prices but they didn't mind, because they were sc anxious to make comforts for our soldier men, and such work is seldom seen as that which is waven into the sweaters and other garments sent from that little town. The knitting is perfectly beautiful, because most of the women have knitted through two wars the dark days of the Confederacy, when their nimble fingers were engaged in knitting for their beloved ones who were sacrificing their health and life for their country just as our men are doing today in snow-covered, ice-laden sleet- eneofnpassed France.

About the only coal in the county is at the brown ore mines near Russellville and the managers state that their supply is getting low and that they could not afford to sell any of the coal ordered for their own use as has been the cus- tom heretofore, as it would only be question of time until they would have to shut down on account of fuel
