Pillboxes Halt Cavalry

A party of cavalry charging down
the Roye road ran into the cross fire
Of large German pillboxes studded with
machine guns just this side of Roye
and received check, but the Germans
who happened to get the opportunity to
do this execution paid the extreme pen
atty later.
To-day the resistance by the enemy
has been stitfening progressively, but
his troops appear to be nervous and
apprehensive of what the future holds
out for them and what the Allies in
tend to do. In order to feel out the
Allied forces, it is expected that fur
Their heavy counter attacks may be
launched by the enemy.
Stories of the air fighting over the
battle lines are amazing. One OBJ
server, coming into his station, shot
down four machines. In the same fight

plane to earth and was swooping down

FRocKs or SIMPLE cALICoEs
Conservation of Wool and Silk Make
Call for Material Which VIII
Lessen Demand for Others.


News comes that one of the iatest
developments for war time fashions
will be frocks of simple calico, says
Women's Wear. Some of the smart
est houses which specialize in gar-
ments for women whose happiness de-
pends on being chic are creating mod
els In this fabric which certainly be-
fore all else should appeal to the war
economy instinct.
Women have been warned to con-
serve wool and to go lightly as to silk,
so naturally when they are offered gar
ments OF so humble fabric they will
believe they are demonstrating their
patriotism by accepting 1t and calico
frock will be the reward Of virtue.
The calicoes that are engaging the
attentions of designers at the present
moment are those of quaint printed eff
fects on light grounds.
1t appears that many of the frocks
will be given a certain lightness not
expected Of calico by combination with
sheerer fabrics snch MS organdfe and
net and that the extreme of femfninity
and quaintness will give them a dis
tinction OF their own which will not
permit them to be scorned by even the
most exclusive of fashionable women.

For instance, says writer in Good
Housekeeping wherever stitching is

htsttttt,ia of The skirt, do II by hand, aad
an exceptionally good way to finish the
bottom of a suit OF heavy material is
not to turn in the edge OF the hem.
but to leave the raw edge ON the un-
iernenth side. and finish IL with Il
feather stitch on the wrong side. care
must be taken TO make the stitches In
visible on the right side. This laoka

stitching which liz very often used for
finishing the hem.
The lining for a suit should be made
separately and fitted TO the figure Just
the same as the coat itself. When II is
sewed into the coat, II will be neither
too large nor too small. Tx On inter.
lining Is necessary for tEse waist Of the
coat, outing flannel Is good.
In getting skirt TO hang straight.
the best results can be obtained by
first putting the skirt ON to regular
skirt banding, which can be bought by
the yard. For one-picce dress, de-
tachable collars and cuffs of linen, or
candle, or satin, add greatly. and are
easily made and washed.

IN FASHION LAND

Umbrellas are short and thick, with
wooden sticks.
Novelty effects In coats and capes
give slender lines.
The tunic blouse makes the coat
suit more attractive.
Pockets continue to give a military
air to the latest sports coats.
Newest skirts are so narrow that
they allow only the tiniest steps.
A novel white collar is made with
points for a widows black frock.
The colored bridal gown has been
made fashionable for the war bride.
A bow is frequently the only trim
ming on the hat with sweeping lines.
Almost every style is in fashion, but
straight-line models are most favored.
The latest manner Of wearing the
watch is to dangle 1t from fob rib
bon.
Utility coats remind one of an Off
GERS top coat-fulI and belted in the
back.
Fur coats are uncommonly inter
esting this year on account Of their
belts.
A very pretty dress has the sasS and
shoulder yoke Of silk in contrasting
color.
Silver lace is used over shlmmering
attn, in making charming evening

The mourning dress of black taf-
eta can be fastened with dull silver

ganization to provide the requisite ma
chinery. Ten district officers with an
engineer III charge have been estab-
lished In as many nreas.
Forty State Projects.
Under the provisions Of the act 40
states have submitted 1873 projects In
volving total of approximately 1,T20
miles, according to the secretary's re-
port. OF this number 139, embrac-
ing 1882 miles and calling for an es.
timated expenditure including federal,
state and local funds of S7,94T, ,114.50,
have been approved These projects
involve federal funds to the extent of
SO, ,455, ,573.76, or 23.75 per cent of the
total allotment, $14.550,000 to the
various states for the fiscal year 1917
and 1918. Six projects covering 40
miles have been disapproyed. Agree
ments have, been entered into or are
in the course Of preparation in the case
Of "a projects, aggregating 1874 miles
and involving S19o,6oe.84 of federal
funds and q total of s., 2,225.94474.
The full effect of the federal aid
road act cannot be measured by any
comparison of funds expended in 1916
and made available for 1917, as many
of the legislatures did not meet until
early in the calendar year 1917. 1t Is
significant, however, says the secre-
tary, that while the expenditure Of
state funds in 1916 aggregated s40.-
969 600 it is estimated that the expendi-
ture of state funds in 1917 viii reach
approximately e0o00. 600. or. an in
crease Of nearly so per cent. These
funds are distinct from local expendi-
lures and indicate an ,tdvance in state
participation in highway work.
