abandon politics because if you
would govern you cannot abandon
politics -
We advise you to go into politics
with the best that is in you and II
you do we assure you that you Will
find enough to be partisan about.
Yes there is sentiment in bust
ness or it ceases to be. Business is
the expression or utilization OF a
human feeling and it cannot be
separated from other human feel
ings. Doing is a motion mottved
by a thought. Politics are the mo-
tions given power and expression
by what you think. Business is a
link in the chain which holds for
the preservation of the man but it
is not the chain it is a link in the
chain.
You need not worry yourself
about politics for it is the crea-
lures of your thoughts and will be
so. If the evil you deplore is poll
ties and good which may come to
YOU from government must be poll
tics.
Don't try to do away with poll
tics for you can't do it. Think and
cherish and open your minds to
sentiment and your affairs will ex-
press your thoughts and be chast-
ened and hallowed by your senti-
ment.
We are not suggesting that you
would tear down anything; we are
asking you to begin to think and
things will begin to build them
selves up before your eyes.
GO INTO POLITICS!

MACHINISTS URGED
TO REGISTER
Delaware Department
Labor Issues Statement

The Delaware Branch of the De-
partment of Labor, Charles War
ner, Federal State Director, on Sat-
urday issued the following appeal
to machinists in Delaware:
The ship-yards have been draw
ing very heavily on the boiler MAX
ers who are used not only for max
ing boilers, but for riveting, chip
ping and caulking and as ship
filters. With the increase in the
order for steel ships, there will be
a further demand for boiler MAX
ers, and at the present time we
hardly know where to turn for
them in any number. 1t is neces-
sary for the protection of the coun-
try in this critical time that every
machinist and boiler maker should
enroll in the U. S. Public Service
Reserve if he wishes to be patrio-
tic to his country. There are i'm
portant war plants in the State Of
Delaware at present, that are seri-
ously slowed down on account of
the lack of help. These plants
should be kept going at full capa-
city if we are to win this world
war and the Importance of secur-
ing these men is so great that it
becomes second only to sending the
fighting force to France. Every
man who has the spirit of patrio-
tism at heart should be willing to
be transferred from the less es-
.sential work by the request Of the
Government, when it means SO
much to the success of our arms

AUSTRALIA TAKING
 POSITION IN WORLD
Business EnVOys Visit United
 States on Diplomatic Mission

New York, Nov. 22.-Australia has entered the field of business di- pIomacy. - From the island continent at the bottom of the world has como for the first time in history an envoy to the United States, to work for the siren gthening of the commercial, h- nanciaI and political good will pre- vailing between the two countries.
 Under policy similar to that de- veloped by the Americans in ante bellum days-termed in an apt phrase "dollar diplomacy'-the Aus tralfan commonwealth has given ot1i- cial support to the ambitions of it's agriculural industrial and mercan- tile interests for international trade expansion.
 Recent arrival here of an Austral- ian commissioner has called attention to a new departure in governmental action within the British Empire. The mother country hitherto has di- rrcted her international relations end those of her colonies from Lon don. Yet AustraliaS venture has hccn approved by the British govern- Iucut. and Henry Y. Braddon, ap- 1eointed to the newly created office, is v2sted with full authority to lay the foundations for a great Australian American trade after the war and to regotiate for an interchange or credits to finance it and shipping to curry it. .-.
 Because his mission is one of bus iqess rather than diplomacy MT. Praddon has establised, headquarters in this city, the nations financiay and commercial capital. He frankly pre- diets that Australia with 50,0O0 of bar sons killed in battle and 100000 others on the casualty lists, will want ITO dealings with Germany. His chlet ioh, then as he sees 1t, Is to encour- age America to take Germanys place ae the principal buyer of Australian urinary products-Wool, wheat ana mcat-and as the leading source Of supply of manufactured articles lm- ported Av the comm onwealth.
 Incidentally, he hopes to hasten delivery from Pacific coast shipyards of fourten cargo vessels ordered by his government, and which will form tho nucleus of the Australian Ameri- can carrying trade.
 Owing to his overwhelming interest in the war-he has three sons with his ecountry's 100000 men in the Brit isb army-Mr. Braddon would have found it difficult, he declared on ar irvine here, to devote himself to a ,,eace time project but for his firm belief that much mutual good can come of better acquaintance between Australia and "the States, as Ameri- ca is universally known in the Anti podes. With this object in view, he announced a plan to set up as branch of his commission bureau to furnish the American press with the high spots'' of Australian news

BAPTIZED IN CANTEENS.
Army Chaplains, Having No Founts,
 Use Anything That is Handy.


 Paris, Nov. 1, Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Some of the American army chaplains have been compelled to use army canteens as BaptismaI fOunts for lack Of better equipment to baptize the soldiers be- fore going into battle. So far as known his method is an invention of William c. Levere of Chicago, a Young Mems Christian Association secretary, and for several years na- Honal president of the Sigma Kappa Epsilon fraternity. MT. Levere estab- Ished a distributing station near the front which has nothing more than a roof, without walls. The place for merly was a beer garden.
 One day, when troops were moving up toward the front, an army chap jain wandered in and offered to bap- tize any of the boys who had not bcen baptized and wanted to be. Some Df them took him up and then the chaplain discovered that he had no altar and no baptismal fount.
 I'll fix that" said Levere, and he did He stacked three rifles with bayonets fixed and in the center hung an army eanten for the baptismal wa ter Twenty men were baptized.

METALLIC-CL0TH Is PASSE
There Is No Widespread Use Of the
Material, Writes Leading FASH
lon Correspondent.

One cannot get away from the me-
tallic effect that grows in clothes as
the season develops. II is frequently
used where II is most garish and
should be avoided, but that depends
upon the person.
There is no widespread use of me-
tallic cloth. Gowns of 1t are cOnspic-
uOusly out instead of in, says a fash
ion writer. Here and there a cele-
brated French designer uses a bit of
dull, furnished cloth as a foundation
for some sombre. transparent fabric
but this is not often repeated.

gold or silver braid, the effect is good.
because the metal sinks into the pile of
the fabric and does not proclaim itself
so boldly as on a fiat, smooth surface.
There is a gOOd-lOOking black velours
gown now shown which looks IN
commonly like an American costume
worn by a man, with its tight, narrow
skirt and its long. swinging tunic slim
at the shoulders and girdled at the
waist. 1t is trimmed with gold braid
and buttons, and there is a narrow
band of this braid to form the hem of
the skirt. To soften the metallic gilt
ter, there is an exceedingly deep band
OF black caracul on the tunic. The
richness of the frock gives it a distin-
guished air and puts 1t out Of the com
mon.
1t seems as though that deep color

is very much In fashion, takes gold en-

them by reason of their classification

Instead Of possessing one separate

the woman who keeps up with fashion
must now have several skirts and

tained an unchallenged place in wOm-
ans favor for several seasons now.

suitable for a formal occasion and the
best dressed women do not wear
waists and skirts for restaurant dining
or ar even afternoon performances at
the theater, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
A waiSt-and-skirt Combination is sup
posed to express infOrmality.
1t matters not how different a blouse
is from accepted standards, provided
1t is different enough. Designers vie
with one another TO produce original
and intricate designs. The oldest
color combinations are displayed and
when cOlors themselves do not har-
mOnIze, outline embroideries of beads
emphasize the effect of contrast and
give a weird yet fascinating oriental
effect. What would you think of olive
green and cerise as a color scheme?
Yet one of the stunning blOuses for
fall combines those two shades, with
artfully placed outlines and embrOid-
cries of jet beads, and the result is
truly sumptuOus. The French houses
use a deal of jet-jet in tiny, sparkling
beadlets sewed close together, rather
than a large palette or cabuchon. A
Cheruit blouse of rust-colored crepe de
chine has bands of bead embroidery
passing across a fat vest of flesh-cOl-
ored chiffon. The bands disappear IN
der the blouse fronts and emerge
through slashes about an inch beyond
the edge, the series of tabs thus
formed flanking the cross-bands on the
vest. This Cheruit blouse falls to the

LOOK OF WARMTH
veIours and VeiVeteen Are the
Prime Favorites.
Embroidery Goes on Both Materials
Split Panels Call for Immense
Amount Of characterization.

There Is such an accumulation IN
the dressmaking places Of velveteen
gowns being made to order that one
feels that every woman has decided to
have at least one in her wardrobe.
Velours is another favOrite. One
has more confidence in the former
than in the latter, says a fashion
writer, but there Is look Of warmth
and purring comfort about velOurs
that makes one choose II even against
the debate that goes on in ones mind
about it's durability. 1t is combined
with satin while velveteen is left to
itself. Embroidery goes on both vel
veteen and velOurs, and when satin
is used for an evening gown, as it is
more than for any other kind of frock,
1t is deliberately embroidered or fes-
TONED with beads, or bugles, or os-
trich flues.
The Americans do very good en-
broidery and they do not seem to hest
tate over attempting a most elaborate
design. so the French models have
been easily. If extensively. copied in
this country with all their original
scheme of decoration and cOlOYation.
The idea of using split panels, not
one or two, hut five or six, like the
petals of a rose, has brought about an
immense amount of applied ornamen
tatiOn. Cuirass, as well as To- 'r1ics
are split up in this fashion. the

sometimes used for a finish for sash
