TROOP SHIPS GET
 FULL PROTECTION
Washington Undisturbed as News of New Submarine
 Effort Reaches Officials

Washington, September 1O-Navy off cials here are not disturbed by published reports from London that German sub marines are concentrating their efforts against American troop ships. It was said today that it has been taken for granted there that the German admiralty would adopt such a course to meet the growing clamor of those at home who de- mand to know why more than a million American soldiers have crossed the seas in safety, and that steps. have been taken by the American and allied navies to meet the increased menace.
 If there is any definite information at London concerning such new orders to the submarines, however. it has not been transmitted to Washington, Consequently it is believed that the opinion in London is based upon assumption rather than to specific information as to the enemys plans. Secretary Daniels said today it was obvious that every troop ship was imperiled, no matter what precautions were taken. There is no such thing as guaranteeing absolutely that every ship will go through without attack, or that attacking submarines can always be frus- trated. The fact that a great army has been carried to- France without serious molestation by the U-boats is regarded as almost a miracle.
 Increased precautions made possible by. new destroyers, patrol vessels And other anti-submarine weapons, have been put into effect recently,

 Maybe after the fashion makers shear men of all the little Accessories that go toward making up their stylish wearing apparel, and abbreviate women to the i4-1nch regulation skirt, the masculine ferent from the soldiers-not military, but just rfa.n citizens clothes, made of this material and women will ask their sisters over in Hawaii how much raffid or some other vegetable matter it takes to make a skirt, and then make them out of it, thereby saving cloth so we can hurry up and win the war.
 At one of the fashion emporiums Of Birmingham a few days ago, an expert on women's styles quoted the description of a silhouette in skirts sent forth by Drecoll of Paris fame, which sounds like a sDebussy rocturne. Here it is:
 "Women's skirts will be pleated in the back, full in front, and floating at the sides.''
 Will any American woman be able to resist that description even-if the skirt hem is cut fully 14, inches from the ground?
 As the comedian said the other evening around at the Lyric:
 s"The women's skirts are growing shor- ter and shorter every year, and hope I'll live at least 10 more years"

and natural gas. It was the discovery by jrospectors in some place where the pos- pect did not look very promising or very rich deposits of gold or of silver. It was like the almost accidental discovery of the outcropping copper vein in the Calu- met and Hecla district.
 The understanding is that the company has entered into some arrangement with the Standard Oil people very likely for the purpose of securing facilities for transportation. Yet it is also the under standing that it has reserved to itself one very promising well in the centes of district of about mile. Nothing which the government or those who are so ad- mirably controlling the money market with the intent to prevent undue specula- ton can do will affect the market quota tions for this property One of the req sons isethat although there may be offers of 800 for each share of the stock, these offers do not result in any sales. Ana another reason is that the increase in quotations does not represent speculation, but the belief that actual values are be- hind the stock and that these will yield wonderful returns to those who are in possession of the stock.

 Is not wthin my ken;
 With skirts now fourteen inches short
 Ycu can't tell chicken" from 'hen. ' 6T1HE question of the hour in fashion
 circles is: 'WilNAmerican women
 S be patriotic or modest?''
 Somebody says. Both But how can that be with the new Paris modes be- ing quoted as declaring that skirt hens must be fully II inches Gom the ground. Whew- w-w-w. Some hem!
 Anyway, adorable Paris to which delec- lectabre city we've always looked for style" decreesF that this edict is sent forth for purely patriotic reasons; saw ing of cloth-and Paris ought to know.
 Every woman looks better in short skirt than a long, sloppy sort of short skirt. If you are going to wear short skirr, wear it and don't shilly-shally and dabble about it-something half way short--for there's nothing more unbecom- ing more unstylish or more unattractive than a skirt just-er-er-well a teeny little bitty inch or so above the ground!
 "Cest la guerra says Madame. the Parisian modiste, and we must conform to wars dictates; the~'14 inch-from- the ground" skirt is a war skirt. Of course, the edict isn't official, like not being able to ride in automobiles on Sunday, or not having enough sugar or not using wheat to your hearts content, but at the same time it needs only a suggestion during these war days for people to comply with any request that will help win this ter rible struggle.
 Think of the poor men and what they've got to go through Everything useless must be discarded" is the latest war fashion note for men. <
 "Vests.'' says MT. Tailorman-"non sentials; hence they must go. Think of the waste of cloth on a fat man!'

800 PER CENT PROFIT

1t was said this morning that the only record ever made of which the veterans of the financial district have any knowl- edge which compares in figures, but In character, with the bid quotation of s9OO for the Texas and Pacific Coal and Oil company stock was the record made by the so-called Pacific Construction com pany. That was organized by Woerishof- fer, the purpose being to enter into con- tract with the Texas Pacific Railroad company for~the construction of it's line. The work was well done and when the time came to wind up the affairs of this organization it was found that the profit aggregated 800 per cent on the investment.
 That, however, was different proposi- ton from the one which the unique ap. preciation in the quotations for the Texas and Pacific Coal and Iron company stock represents. The 800 per cent profit was the outcome of a very skillfully perfected with the railroad company, and with the execution of the contract the life of the organization ended. It was like an underwriting syndicate which, having underwritten a stock proposition, divided profits, if there were any, after the Stock was absorbed.
 But this Coal and Oil company stumbled almost by chance upon unsupported wealth, the discovery of which was due to an attempt to secure an adequate sup ply of water for the mining town of Thur Der in Texas. That town is the center of a coal mining industry which this cor poration carriedson modestly- since 1888, and with reasonable although not large returns upon the investment. In driving a well for water there was a sudden de- livery of natural gas. Of course, that led to the belief that a great gas pocket and probably great oil pool lay somewhere beneath the surface. Experimental pros pecting, and other work incident to the development of an oil field followed, until at last it was made evident that the com- pany possessed beneath the surface Of the land which it owned and the land which it leased very great resources in oil

EMPLOYMENT NEXT MATTER

The next matter is employment of those who are able to do some part in the war. Twenty-eight workshops have been erected in various parts of Italy. They give employment to 5000 women who are using TAT sewing machines. The ap- propriations for this branch of Red Cross activity amounts to $3,077, 140. A colony for refugees from Venetia near Pisa is caring for 2OO0 persons, and before win ter this probably will be increased by 15,000 more. The cost of establishing this colony amounts to $1155,0OO. If the morale of the men at the front is to be maintained, their families must be properly cared for. Details provide for shops, shoe factories, work by nurses, financial assistance to Italian institutions engaged in this field. For this purpose s1,037, TOO has been appropriated. There ar, many other activities that Will cost heavily and which have been provided for. Among them are surgical dress ings and surgical instruments, $,21 ,2l2.50; supplies, including gasoline and appli- ances, maintenance of every description, allowances for drivers and living ex- penses, S495, ,OoO, canteen rest rooms, $4b3,
