Inspiration Rallies.

Contrary to the expectation OF the
speculative community, the directors Of
the Inspiration Consolidated Copper
Company declared the regular quarterly
dividend yesterday, and the short inter-
est in the stock was forced to cover 80
quickly that Inspiration rose az points
from the low OF AIS made in the day.
Previous to the announcement OF the
dividend, there had been heavy liquida-
ton in the shares brought out by the
consistent speculation for the decline on
the part of traders. 1t was noted that
liquidation continued even after some
traders had begun to change their atti-
tude and play for the rally" That
they had not fully covered their short
commitments was evident to those who
watch carefully the source of operations.
Before the Inspiration announcement
was made Wall Street found It difficult,
in view of the cut in the Anaconda
dividend to work up enthusiasm in the
copper shares New low records were
made In several of the issues. SO that
the rally in Inspiration added color to
the remark of one commentator that the
usual market could not always &c
one way. He pointed out that Utah
Copper had declined more than 20 points
and American Smelling more than

stice, and that all other copper shares

New Waist Protector.

Dainty white lace and georgette
waists can be perfectly protected from
your heavy winter coat by wearing one
of the new waist protectors. The pref
test Is made Of white china silk that
can be washed, although any light col
or may be used. A piece of silk about
"A inches wide and two yards long Is
selected. and beginning ut the ends,
the edges are scanned together for a
depth of II inches. to form the
sleeves. Then the ends are prettily
shirred and narrow white elastic run
in so that they will fit closely about the
wrist When the arms are slipped
into these odd sleeves, the width Of the
silk protects the back of the waist.
and there Is fullness of material
enough SO that il may be draped over
the bust and securely fastened by fancy
pins. The whole waist is thus per-
fectly protected by this simple little
garment.

METAL AND COTTON THREAD
Charming Variations; Suggestions
for the NeedIeWoman.

There is an increasing vogue for
combining metal thread with silk, wool,
or cotton embroidery. 1t is tremen-
dously effective and capable of such
charming variations. Here are some
suggestions for the needleworker who
is interested in the unusual.
Say, suppose, you have some solid"
work in silk, cotton or wool. You don't
know how very effective 1t can be made
by an outlining in either gold or silver
thread. The idea can be further car
ried out by adding French knot CEN
tiers to the flowers of the same.
Where the embroidery is done en-
tirely in outline, and particularly if 1t
be the heavy wool or cotton kind,
COUGHING In metal is mighty success
full addition. In fact, If the wool or
cotton embroidery isn't already done,
try COUGHING 1t on with the metallic
stuff and Just see if it isn't vastly
more decorative.
Another suggestion for introducing
the metal is to "whlp stitch" the other
thread with it. Wool whipped on the
bias, spiral effect is the most fascinat-
ing thing ever

CHIC DANCE DRESS
Frock May Be Made of White
Chiffon or Other Material.
With Rows of lnch-Wide Glossy
Ribbon in Color.

The little dance dress shown i'm the
net georgette or silk tissue, and ii is
trimmed very simply with rows of
inch-wide glossy ribbon in color. Rain
bow colors may be selected for the rib
bon, two or three of these dainty pale
shades being used with very good eff
feet If desired, the fabric of the
gown may also be in color, and the
frock be a genuine rainbow affair.
\ foundation of sheer silk should be
used for the dress, and IL may be made
slipover by running an elastic in at
the waistline. Two or three ribbon
straps hold it in place over the Shout
der, and ribbon girdle with long ends
circles the waist.
A dress of this kind is easy to make
and may be very inexpensive. Spend
ing q great deal of money on a dance
or evening dress is never really neces-
sary and at present ii is poor taste.
There will be few formal evening
functions during the coming winter
season, and the simple dances sched-
uled call for simple costuming.
An allover lace dress is always
pretty, and many lace dresses are be-
ing featured for the coming season.
Extreme simplicity is the rule in de-
signing these frocks. Frequently the
bodice is merely a wide girdle of silk
or satin topped by frill or yoke of
lace and with short lace sleeves. The
skirt may be single length of lace,
or it may be formed of two or three
lace flounces. A ribbon sash or girdle
finishes the dress
Ribbon trimming is extremely pop
ular this season. Plain bands of rib
bon are used on frOcks for both day

that in city service the percentage Of
punctures Is SO small ms TO be practi-
cally negligible.
1.-THE thing that has brought the
pneumatic tire 10 tire front is the ire
nendous saving effected in the chassis
by mounting il ON air instead OF on
solid rubber. There has never yet
feen found any substitute so cheap or
so resilient as air. and that, Of course.
Is the basic principle of the pneumat-
ic tire.
"Today many tire experts contend
that everything up to five tons will
ultimately be carried on pneumatic
tires, and | find they agree with me
that the five-ton truck Will be the max
lmum capacity required save in certain
restricted classes of work such as
hauling coal or stone.
"Just as the three-quarter-ton truck
is rapidly supplanting the two-ton We
hicIe i'm service which the two-ton
truck formerly performed, so the two
ton truck is now supplanting the four

ice.
"The same principle holds-smaller

lesser cost per ton mile"

fBy MAJOR H. p. HARDING. Director.
Automotive and Mechanical Section
American Red Crosse
No industry will profit more by the
war than the automobile industry.
From spark-plugs TO tires the war
has made greater efficiency necessary
and the developments in this trade are
amazing. We all know how the great
transportation problem was solved by
the motortruck, how even the British
troops were carried in the London pas
senger buses from French ports TO the
bases at the front. The United States
is now sending thousands of trucks
every week to the other side, not in
Guiding the lighter cars, which are
shipped in even greater quantities.
Driver Problem Overcome.
The Red Cross has in operation
throughout France and Italy, thousands
of trucks and lighter automobiles.
Early In the war the problem of get
ting competent drivers and good me-
chanics was quite an obstacle. The
Red Cross has overcome this problem
by establishing q permanent training
camp in this country, known as Camp
Scott, at Sixtieth and Cottage Grove
avenue, Chicago, under my direction.
Owing TO the urgent demand overseas
for capable drivers and expert me-
chanics, very rigid and intensive
course of four weeks is given the en-
listed men in this camp.
Spacious grounds surround the
camp, and abundance of machines are
in their yards and complete shops are
at their disposal. First of all, the en-
listed man is taught the function of

LACE ON THE CURVED EDGE
How to Overcome the Perplexne Task

Have you often been troubled in put

Have you often been troubled in put
ting straight lace on a curved edge?
You have been If you have ever tried
putting cluny, for instance. on the out
side edge of big round centerpiece
This is an easy way to overcome
the difficulty. Roll the lace in little
tight roll. Wind 1T tightly about the
center with Il stout thread. Then dip
the straight edge in water TO about
half the width of the lace. Let Ii dry
and you will find piece of lace ready
shaped 10 your liking. You see what
happens is that the straight edge, be-
ing wetted, shrinks, and so can be
the centerpiece.
II you have any new table linen
or cotton, mayhap-to hem, try this
method. Trim such edges as need
trimming and then run them through
the machine hemmer. with a fine
needle, unthreaded. This will crease
the hens with perfect evenness and
will also punch holes through the fab
rio with the unthreaded needle. Then
you can turn the hem back and over
hand the hens through the little holes
with the least expenditure of effort.

Narrow Ribbons on Hats

Not only are narrow Enthusiastically
half an inch TO an inch wide-being
used more or less in making hats for
women. but on both popular-priced and
expensive models gold or silver ribbons
of the same widths are employed as

soft bows or streamers or they are
fashioned into flowers laid flat on the

fective when worn on dark hats
