We may inaugurate our spring out
hitting as we will-usually it begins
with the purchase of coat for gen.
eral wear-but we cannot finish with
out acquiring this mainstay of the
wardrobe. For three seasons cloths
and colors have made the streets more
cheerful; they have been beautiful
enough to tempt extravaganza. There
has been a generous sprinkling of gay
er colors among the dark grays and
blues and browns that seem to be
30 closely associated with the thought
Of utility clothes in the minds of most
people.
The spring coats are privileged to
use enough woolen stuffs to- make
them anywhere from 45 to 4S inches
long, and comfortably full at the bot
tom. nevertheless the best models are
those that follow the straight and mar
row path of wool conservation. Col
lars are not as large as they were, al
though there are many models with
convertible collars that may be worn
close up about the throat. Over-col-
lara Of brocaded or embroidered silk or
novelty weaves in cotton are means
for securing variety. Belts are mar
row and plain. Small collars end
ing In scarf ends or throws for the
neck, which may be of the same cloth
as the coat or of different material,
are among the spring innovations.

gagged exclusively in the manufacture
of rifles and cartridges Two govern
ment plants and three privately owned
plants are engaged in making rifles
and one government plant and nine
privately owned plants are engaged in

two of the best three rifles in the
world.
''Stars and Stripes" is the name Of
the weekly newspaper being published

The Red Cross, the American Fund

relief societies are cooperating in
France to care for the French and Bel
gian women who are now being driven
back into their own countries after
their deportation into Germany. 1t
Is reported that they are in rags and
destitute, and the relief societies are
doing all they can to fit them out with
the bare necessities and decencies of
life. The Chicago Tribune makes the
following appeal:
"To give the required help the
American Fund for French Wounded,
60 East Washington street, Chicago,
has devised a Martha Washington kit.
The kits are to be Sent at once to

directions for these kits follow:
"The cost of these kits is to be kept

side all the way around. Turn in the
bag at the top two inches, with one
inch heading-and an inch casing for

over and pinned down with two safety
pins at the back, making it compact
and safe for shipment.

An unusual blouse is made Of pale
blue handkerchief linen, with a good
deal of inch-wide flet insertion used
for trimming, says Women's Work.
The embroidery is placed upon the
lace itself-the outline Of the design
being accentuated by fine thread of
blue matching the linen in color. This
blouse is collarless and is a slip over
of the sort that fastens over the shoul-
ders. But instead of buttons, the wear
er must lace herself into this blouse
by means of narrow black velvet rib
bons. The sleeves are cut upon full
bishop pattern, and the tight cuffs are
laced at the outer edge by the same
narrow black velvet.

Gloves Have Strap Wrists.

A noticeable feature of the current
demand is the tendency toward a
larger use of strap wrist or Biarritz
effects, says the Dry Goods Econom-
ist. This, no doubt, is due more or
less to the practical nature Of such
styles, making them suitable for wear
with the tailored effects in suits and
dresses which are now the vogue.
Moreover, the Biarritz idea, especially
in soft gauntlet design, conforms
readily to any expression Of a military

NINE PAIRS SHOES

GENERAL ASKS FOR LARGE
FooTGEAR SUPPLY FOR SOL
DIERs IN FRANCE.
AIRPLANE MISHAPS ARE FEW
With Hundreds of Men Learning to
Fly, War Department Records Show
Number Of Accidents at Military Avl.
alton Fields Comparatively Small.

WashingtOn.-Gen. Pershing has
requested shipment Of 1880 pairs Of
shoes for each 25,0OO men monthly,
which is approximately nine pairs Of
shoes per man per year. This guam
tity Is in excess of actual consumption
and is being used to build up a re-
serve for all troops in France. When
such a supply is accumulated, the
quantities per man will be reduced.
The quartermaster generals de-
partment now has on hand and due
on outstanding contracts, 7,564,000
field shoes and 7873,O00 marching
shoes. 1t will be necessary to secure
more than a million additional shoes
during the year.
Records of the war department show
that from the beginning Of training in
June, 1917, to February %, 1918, the
fatalities at military aviation fields
in this country have been 81; 10 Of
ficers and 20 cadets killed In training
flights; and 12 men killed in unauthor-
lied flights and ground accidents.
Since the training began in the
United States, student aviatOrs have
flown considerably more than 100000
miles. Hundreds of hitherto inexN
perienced men have been learning to
fly. Their early flights are under the
guidance Of instructors, and prior to
these flights two or more months are
spent in preliminary ground work.
There comes a time, however, when
every student aviator must take his
machine up alone, and every precau-
ton has been taken to reduce the
number of accidents and safeguard
the aviator in his solo flights.
The fuel administration is carrying
on series Of conferences covering all
industries which use large quantities
OF fuel, with view to learning the re-
quirements of each line during 1918.
The industries themselves are playing
a leading part in these discussions.
The aim Of the fuel administration Is
to arrive at a percentage of produc-
tiOn which, under the circumstances,
will be satisfactory to the manufac-
turers and their workmen, but which
will not represent a consumption Of
fuel for the manufacture of supplies
not needed during the current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use of fuel for the pro-
duction of window glass to so per cent
Of the amount manufactured in 1917
is the result Of one of these confer
ences. A survey Of the field indicated
that while not more that 100000
boxes of window glass would be used
in 1913, competitive conditions were
likely to result in an overmanufacture
Of at least 100000 boxes.
1t is through this system of limita-
tion, together with large economy in
the methods Of using fuel, that the
fuel administration expects to supple
ment the production Of coal this year.
1t is hoped, as the railroads strengthen
their facilities, that 1t will be possible
to mine and transport larger quan-
tity Of coal this year than last, but 1t
is through these methods of reducing
consumption that repetition Of this
years shortage is expected to be pre-
vented.
