DAYS HASTEN
FALL STYLE HINTS

Everybody has noted in gatherings
Of women how subdued the colors are.
For fall, dark blue holds first place
in favor, and after hat about every
other gown for restaurant wear is
black satin. Now and then one sees
taffeta, but it is always of the soft
supple sort which a be successfully
draped.
Pictured is a gown Of black satin
for afternoon and informal wear. The
bodice is severely plain, in fact the
whole dress has nothing which ap-
proaches trimming save the large
buckle and the bit of fringe which
adorn the sash.
The skirt is drapped on one side,
as are many Of the new skirts fash
toned on the very narrow lines. 1t
has a broad girdle and a sash which
hangs to the hem in the side front.
The sleeves give the frock a distinc-
tive touch with their bell-shaped caps
reaching from the elbows half way to
the wrist. Although they conserve in
material by their length they neces-
ssitate the wearing of long gloves
which have been unpopular for a
season or two.
The hat which completes the cos
tune is Of black transparent hair
braid straw. The crown is piled high
with tulle and bits of paradise seem
to float in this sea OF tulle.

MANY FACTORIES
STARTING UP IN
SOUTH AMERICA
Countries Now at War Send
Less Imports to South
ern End of Continent.

Washington, July 10 How the
war has given q tremendous impetus
to South American industries is
shown in the curtailment of many
articles formerly imported to South
America from countries nov at war.
Attention of many South Americans
is turning to manufacturing possible
a far as possible h raw materials
available in South America.
Word has just been received here Of
the establishment Of the first iron
foundry in Brazil. The foundry has
just been completed at Rhode Janiero
and has a daily capacity of between
10000 and 10000 tons. 1t is operat-
ing on native iron smelted from ore
mined in the country. According to
accounts reaching here it is intended
to further develop the mining indus
try and increase the capacity of the
plant as soon as possible. Also in Rio
al plant in Brazil. At this plant are
manufactured nitrate of potassium,
caustic soda, nitrate Of silver and OK
alic acid.
At Punta Arenas, the southernmost
main land town in h world, a group
Of business men has undertaken the
manufacture of pianos. Last year six
pianos were made as an experiment.
and were shipped to Valparaiso,
where they were sold. Although
Punta Arenas is in Chile, there is a
duty imposed upon articles manufac-
tured there and shipped to other
parts Of the same country for sale.
This duty on pianos was $50 pesos
each, approximately $85. and in spite
of this handicap the pianos were sold
at prices so satisfactory that this
year the sponsors for the experiment
have begun the manufacture in earn
est Chilean woods are used almost
exclusively for the cases and the 9TH
er part Of the instruments are of
Chilean origin.
Ten thousand tons of manganese
pre-, in great demand by the warning
countries Of Europe, are ready for
shipment in the state of Minas, Brazil.
This ore cannot be moved because of
shortage Of coal. 1t is reported that
there are plenty OF cars for. t%ranspor-
ting the pre-; but the coal, much Of
which vas formerly shipped from the
United States, is not available.
Brazil has taken over her quinine
Z, ment monopoly in, the handling of it.
The government that it
will sell directly to individuals and
to firms.
The business men Of Brazil are
holding a big exposition OF fabrics,
principally cotton goods, Of Brazilian
manufacture, in Beunos Aires. in the
effort to attract Argentine trade. One
hundred and thirty factories are rep
resented at the exposition.
The congress Of Peru has authoriz-
ed President Pardo to negotiate a
loan OF about s1,5oo,ooo, the proceeds
Of which r to be used in building a
railroad from Huancayo to Jatunhu-
asi. penetrating the Peruvian coal
belt, and to Huacravisa in the princi-
pal iron zone of the country. The
Immediate reason for this enterprise
Is the inability Of Peru to get $1,000
tons Of iron piping, needed for city
waterworks in several municipalities
of the country. which was ordered in
the United States, but which is being
held up because of the war.
