Ruling Regarding Passports +

Atlanta, Aug. 1s.-The ruling Of
the War Department regarding the
issuing Of passports to women having
male relatives in the United States
military forces, which was modified
recently so that the sisters Of SOL
diers might go abroad in Red Cross
and Y. M. c. A. work, has been fur
ther changed to include the sisters
of male civilians employed by the Red
Cross, the Y. NJ. C. A. and other or
ganizations of a similar nature on
duty in Europe, and also the sisters
of male civilians who are employed
by or attached to the American expe-
ditionary forces.
Under this new ruling sisters may
be sent aboard under certain specific
conditions, one of the most important
of which is that they will make no eff
fort to visit their brothers. If any
of these conditions are violated, the
organization for which they are work
ing is under obligations to return them
Immediately to America.

NO NATIONAL RESTRICTIONS
 ON LAUNDRIES IN USE OF COAL

Commercial laundries according to a decision of the United States Fuel Ad- ministration, will not be subject to any national restrictions in the use of coal at this time. The industry uses large quantities of coal, consuming approx imately 100000 tons annually. but a conference of officers of the Laundry Owners National Association with of- ficials of the United States Fuel Ad- ministration showed that fuel conser- vation in this industry could best be handled locally. Therefore a, plan has been formulated whereby regulations for effecting coal economy in laundries will be entirely in the hands of local fuel administration authorities
 Investigation showed that, while many of the larger laundries are op- erated efficiently, taking the industry as a whole, there is large opportun- ity for coal conservation.
 The recommendations to the state fuel administrators are that laundries be asked to overhaul their steam plants, and, with the advice of the state administrative engineer, make such changes in their plants as will effect a fuel saving; also, that laun- dries running only part capacity should consolidate, wherever possible, with others to secure the greatest amount of completed work with a reasonable quntity of coal.

FAMOUS WOMEN.

Just about 110 years ago Paris was all agog with excitement over duel which had been fought in balloons for the hand of Mademoiselle Tirevi who graced the footlights at the Im- perial Opera in the French capital. The rivals for her hand were one M.
 de Grandpre and a M. Le Pique, and they decided that the only way in which to settle >their affair was to fight a duel An ordinary duel would not satisfy them and they finally hit upon the brilliant idea of fighting it out in the air. They ordered two balloons constructed exactly alike and at the appointed hour each man en- tered his balloon armed with a blum derbuss, and at a signal the ropes were cut and up they went. They were not to fire at each other accord ing to the arrangements made, but at the gas bags. At a half a mile in the air M. de Grandpre sent a ball through M. Le Pique's balloon, and the latter was dashed to pieces. The other landed safely several hours later. his honor intact. This duel Is all the more remarkable in that the arrangements were made for 1t, and the plans laid, by both men without the slightest ill-feeling for each other.

By GRACE THORNCLIFF,

There are some types of women who simply can't wear the regulation fashionable lines. They look as though the gown was taken off the shelf and stuck on them, regardless of their needs. Madam is sensitive to this type, and rebels against such persons wearing latest style models
 For example, Miss Snow, who dab bles in sculpture, is this type. She is a thin, wiry sort of person, vivacious and jerky in her motions, and she wears her hair bobbed. She never looks her best in anything of the pop ular smart lines. She must have a frock built around her personality, so to speak. Once In a while she comes in trailing an 'art" costume that she herself has designed, and which. usu- ally makes her look hopelessly old fashioned and out of key.
 Only Madame seems to have the secret of adapting the "art" designs with fashionable lines so that the frock will have a touch of modernism in it as well as having enough differ ence to seem compatible with the lady's unusual individuality.
 Usually these so-called "art" gowns are simply loose. Grecian robes, and while they look very sim pie, they require the utmost care in fitting or they will make the wearer appear dowdy. There must be just enough looseness to give a graceful line to the figure, just enough close fitting at some other point to make the gown look trim and built for the wearer instead of loosely hanging upon her as if she were an animate clothes rack.
 When Miss Snow foated in the other day with a suggestion for a new art frock that would be becoming to her personality, and yet suitable for street and dressy wear, we gasped. But Madame, as usual, was calm and discerning.
 With few delft touches and sug- gestions she transformed the shape less design into one of grace that nevertheless contained suggestion of up-to-date fashion. This frock seems to have a strong character of it's own, for in spite of its simple ap- pearance it is cleverly built and has many unusual touches
 It is a combination of navy blue and black satin. The waist and pep lum are of navy blue. The plain, un- draped skirt is of black satin.
 From the back of the shoulder de- bends long panel of blue tricotine lined with black satin. This gives a cape-like effect to the dress, which
