tics showing how much women needed
, to spend a year to be well dressed.
All sorts of budgets were shown from
the society woman who spent ten
thousand dollars a year and had to
skimp and scrape to make that do, TO
the woman who could by dint of
cleverness and good management feel
very well provided on seventy-five tic
hundred We got rather tired of
hearing about it and the magazines
gave US a respite. Now the matter
has been brought forward again, more
or less as an outcome of war con-
ditions. The Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics in Washington investigated the
clothes expenditures of six hundred
wage earners, not to find an average
SO much as to find what really is
necessary under existing conditions
and advanced clothes prices, to keep
woman well dressed or adequately
dressed.
One hundred and twenty-five dol
lars, 1t was decided, would suffice
1t was found that SO per cent of the
women whose budgets were investi-
gated actually did spend less than
5000. They were just average work.
ing women and not one of them
earned more than $1,000 a year.
No doubt the figures Of this in
vestigation will be helpful to the bu-
reau of labor statistics. Perhaps they
will show employers that if they wish
~ nave tAOli "OiiCh III oS Wcil tIlSy
must pay them higher wages than
they do. To every woman such list
ing must be interesting at the present
time when the question Of economy
and thrift is so prominent IN our
minds. II these six hundred women
were able to give an accounting of
their expenditures on. clothes, then
every woman ought to be able to do
so. too. Yet a good many of us could
MT tell within a hundred dollars how
much we spend, and it would be just
as difficult to say how much we need
to spend. Really 1t is worth while to
| keep accounts for a year or six
| months at least. Some of the results
of your listings will surprise you. One
young married woman on a moderate
dress allowance recently discovered by
keeping account for a year that in
| that time she spent fifty dollars on
shoes, which was a sixth of all she
spent. It was easy to conclude that
| she hadn't solved the problem of shoe
buying. She also found that she spent
fifteen dollars on wells, and she con-
cluded at once that she did not get
| fifteen dollars worth of satisfa ction
| out of her wells. She also found out
! that she did not take sufficient pains
in keeping wells in condition. Any
woman who takes the trouble to keep
some such reckoning can make 1t a
| real help in this way. It Is needful
| step in your war thrift campaign.

general military service, will be ac-
cepted unGer the new call which came
today to the office of Charles S. Huff

cial missionaries will be sent to all
local boards today and voluntary IN
auctions will be made prior to July
Is. After that date. men of either the
1917 or 1918 class may be ,involun-
tarily indicted by the government.
Today's order is the first opportun-
ity afforded the 1918 class for volun-
quotas in all counties and districts will
be denied the privilege of volunteer
enrolment. Men of the 1918 class,
who enroll under the new CALL will
waive all time limits for classification

FOR CANNING, rs LBS;
This Is Limit Placed on Sugar Sales In
Kansas.

Wichita. Kan, July "A limit of
twenty-five pounds has been placed
on sales of sugar for canning purposes.
it was announced by the food admin
istration today. After the first
twenty-five pounds of sugar is used
the housewife can get additional
quantities only by calling on the
county administrator or his assistants
in the various townships and obtain
ing permission to buy more.
Formerly it was possible to buy ad
ditional quantities without obtaining
a permit.
The rule became necessary because
some persons bought sugar under
false pretenses. The new rule makes
it imperative that sugar bought for
canning must be used for canning or
more cannot be obtained.
The food administration also ruled
that no household can have more
than a weeks supply of sugar on
hand at any one time except for can
ming, and the limit to have in the
house for canning at any one time is
twenty-five pounds. Persons who have
more than the twenty-five pound
limit are advised to dispose of it by
resale back to the grocer or by sale
to less fortunate neighbors so as to
escape the boarding regulations

they rang a bell; in these they whistle
their deadly sirens for darkness. The
bells only ring when the air is clear.
However. that fanciful, delightful
sense of the French sees a revival of
the curfew bell in the note of the
modern mechanical siren. which they
obey as sternly as our Puritan ances-
tors obeyed the curfew.
So, of course, France had to make a
hat to go with this regulation. 1t
smacks somewhat of those hats fanil-
lar to Americans when they think of
the religious people of New England.
There are mary varieties of The cur

costume of the Pilgrim fathers COM
plete by adding to the head covering
a long, loose gray cape and long.

A Fantastic CurfeSy Hat.
The sketch shows one of the varie-
ties of this new bit of millinery which
has been put out by a woman who has
combined several fashions into one
The hat itself is of gray stray and
corded silk, and its upturned brim is
lined with Chinese blue taffeta. There
is gray velvet ribbon that passes
under the chin, runs thru the brim,

defiant bow which no Puritan would
have tolerated for one second.
1t may be the presence of millions
of military men in France that gives
the impetus to this band of ribbon
under the chin, but, whatever the
reason, the fact is that it is a domi-
nant fashion.
1t is considered exceedingly becom-
ing both to young and old. Those to
whom age has been unkind by put
ting wrinkles and flabby flesh below
the ears, can hide such defects by this
passage of broad ribbon.
Once upon a time women used the
ribbon around the neck, and while
! this trick did hide wrinkles, it always
pushed the flesh upward and out
ward. This is not pleasant contribu-
ton to- the contour of the face as
everyone knows, so the stout fore
bore to use the ribbon and only the
scrawny ones contrived to keep it be-
coming.
This hat band. however, carries tis
flesh up with it in a gentle curve
and probably. it dissolves' in the hair

some mysterious camouflaging of the
flesh that is entirely beneficial to the
