The time to think Of graduation
frocks is fast advancing and this year
will probabl see the nearest approach
T. uniforms that there has ever been.
The reason, of course. being wartime
economy. Although many schools and
colleges are adopting plain white
skirts and hlOuses, or white MILDLY
suits, there really Is no occasion even
for economy's sake to make the grad
uation frock into a Uniform
There are only two laws which
should be male by any school faculty.
First. the color, white, might readily
be dictated. and next the style. that Is
10 say, no elaborate or expensive cos
tune and no wooden materials.
Here is a charming white frock
which is exquisite in it's simplicity.
Unlike the old-fashioned commence
ment dress. it Is practical also and the
wearer need have no doubts about be-
ing suitably gowned for almost every
occasion. It Is fashioned from white
washable satin. The skirt is a mar
row. straight. plated model trimmed
with groups Of tucks. The bodice Is
also plated and Is made with a long
roll collar which has two rows of
hemstitching and tiny frill of geor-
gette on the outer edge The broad
girdle, button trimmed, is another no.
ticeable feature of the frock.
A hat. although not an essential OF
a graduation outfit is also pictured. It
is gracefully rolled. double-brimmed
sailor Of white Milan with a black
velvet hand covering the crown and
extending over the brim in perky
bow.

Veterinary Corps and Remount Ser
vice Grow Rapidly

When war was declared the strength
of the United States army in animals
was 66,145; it is now over 344 900. The
Remount Service April 6 consisted of
one officer and four clerks in Wash
ington, five remount depots where
horses we're received, and a personnel
and purchasing organization in the
field in proportion. The veterinary
corps, responsible for the treatment
of animals, consisted of Ga officers and
no enlisted personnel when the United
States entered the war.
The Veterinary Corps faced the job
of building an organization Of about
1000 officers and 10000 men. The
1000 officers have been secured and
enlisted men are being transferred at
a rate which will soon bring it up to
it's full authorized strength.
The Remount Service had a similar
task in securing personnel. It's pres
ent strength is about 800 officers and
1900 enlisted men. In place Of 5 re-
mount depots it has "a, for which
plans had to be drawn, sites chosen
and construction of shelter, hospitals,
storage buildings, and unloading ia
~cilities in short time.
The greater proportion of deaths of
animals in the army results from in
~fluenza, popular'y known as "shipping
fever" and its complications. British
losses on horses purchased in the Unit
ed States dtring the war have been
about 10 per cent, counting only
deaths occurring in this country.
French and Italian losses have been
higher.
