DRESS AND SUGGESTIONS ANNE p,ffr,nor.n FOR WOMEN
Green has become such a desirable color that women order it in various fabrics and dressmakers offers 1t In all kinds of costumery.

New York, July 24.-Not every wom- an Is an enthusiast over green. It Is considered dangerous color. One of the traditions in modern dressmaking is that few faces can stand natures best color. 1t Is because are has so much more to do with the face than nature these days?
 The Frenchwomen believe that they must make up their faces to suit colors ana costumery. If they wear green, they provide a fitting background for 1t. They use certain kind of powder, they paint their lips in an abnormal manner, and they see to it that light and shadow, hanglngs and flowers, make a harmonious setting. Now, it may be that all of this extra ordinary terrorism over green is justi- ilable but there is no doubt that much of 1t is tradition plus repe ion of an idea.
 OTHER COLORS MORE DIFFICULT Women rush into the most diabolical shades of blue, and yet refuse green They take up the most subtle and dif-
 
 that they are expressing their opinion concerning the impossibiliey of green. The truth is that pink is a dangerous color Bright shades of dark blue are extremely trying to the skin and eyes, and several shades of 1t should be put Into O barred zone. A woman with wrinkles in her face has no right to buy one-piece frock or a suit of brilliant, glaring shade of what is called dark blue. She should run mile from the suggestion of a gown of geranium pink, and hold up her hands in horror when the saleswoman tries to persuade her into buying a suit of pale gray.
 It may be that in the days which pre- ceded these, the dyepot was not full of a number of greens. Manufacturers of cloth may have been limited in their use of the color It takes an artist in dyeing to produce tones of green that are quite satisfying.
 The Chinese know how to get amaz- ingly lovely shades into all the greens they deal with just as they are the masters of blue. If the men who make fabrics could copy the hand dyeing of the Chinese, we would be a wonder fully well dressed world. We would not clash and scream at each other in our costumes. We would all melt toether into a harmonious whole. like 8 rare Chinese porcelain.
 STREET SUITS OF GREEN

Baton Rouge, La, Oct. Per
haps the most urgent call yet
made upon the nation and upon
Louisiana was received in tele.
grams by John Marshall, Secre-
tary of the State Council of De-
Tense this morning from Frank
lin X. Lane, Chairman of the Field
Division of the Council Of Ma
tionaal Defense, and from Nathan
A. Smyth, Assistant Director Gen
eral of the United States employ
ment Service, calling for one hun
dred and thirty-nine thousand
unskilled laborers for immediate
service in munition plants in the
United States. Mr.. Lanes tele-
gram follows:
ga stock Of high explosive
shells imperatively needed IN
France has been destroyed and
the flow Of these supplies hes
been retarded not only for the
present moment, but for months
to come unless immediate relief
is provided. This loss must be
made up at once by putting addi-
tional burdens on all other Amer
lean munition plants. Within
the next forty-eight hours the
number Of men to be supplied
from your state will be wired by
the United States Employment
Service to it's Federal State Di-
rector. Please issue the necessary
NOTICES to your state parish and
community councils of Defense TO
put their entire influence behind
the employment service in this
emergency. This call for men
must be met, but there should be
no difficulty in getting these men.
The work is dangerous but that
will not deter anyone for it is un-
thinkable that any man in this
country would hold back from do
| ing work which the women OF
England and France long have
carried on. When this problem is
placed before the American peo-
ole public opinion will be solidly
behind the employment service
and community labor boards in
this emergency"
The telegram of Mr.. Smyth is
as follows:

Where crowding is unavoidable,
as in street cars, care should be
taken to keep the face so turned
as not to inhale directly the air
breathed out by another person.
1t is especially important tc
beware of the person who coughs
or sneezes without covering his
mouth and nose. 1t also follows
that one should keep out Of
crowds and stuffy places as much
as possible. keep homes, Offices
and workshops well aired, spend
some time out Of doors each day,
walk to work if at all practicable
in short make every possible
effort to breathe as much pure air
as possible.
Cover mp each cough and sneeze,
If YOU don't you'll spread dis
ease. y

America s biggest shell load
ing plant is gone. There are
other plants in operations, still
others under construction. Work
at all is seriously retarded by
lack of labor. The Ordnance De-
partment states immediate labor
shortage in existing munition
plants one hundred thirty-nine
thousand unskilled laborers even
greater numbers needed for army
constructions projects. The only
way to make good the loss in
shells and to absorb the shock so
that it shall not injire Pershing's
men is to fill this labor shortage
at once. In view of these facts
a real location Of total labor de-
mands among the states will be
made at once. The requirements
in your state will tax your utmost
efforts they can be filled only by
getting men from non-essentials.
Community labor boards must ex-
pedite combing essentials and
replacing men by women. Make
clear to people of your state their
duty in the emergency. Element
or risk in shell loading plants will
deter no real man or woman.
Americans are not afraid either in
the trenches or at posts Of danger
at home"
Secretary John Marshall and
the entire headquarters. force Of
the State Council are working
hard today in trying to give these
requests the widest publicity in
order that Louisiana, through the
State Council of Defense, may do
it's full share. All newspapers
are being requested to publish
these kilograms. which are also
bein gsent to all chairman and
secretaries Of parish and commuu-
ity councils Of Defense.

LOUISIANA'S NOBLESSE
OBLIGE,

Senator Gunion has indicated
the position that every Louisian,
voter should adopt as a matter o
State and National honor TOWARD
the State woman Suffrage Amend
ment. In the great political bat
tie waged in Congress the Demo
cratic South was largely response
BILE that at the present moment 1
federal suffrage amendment does
not like a sword Of Damocles hang
over this nation to rob us Of that
fundamental principle the SOW:
ereign right of the state to self
government.
While the south has so far been
able to safeguard us from this
initial step against a federal
amendment the southern states
are placed on the defensive to
prove that it is the state right
principle they are defending and
not the individual prejudice
against woman suffrage. We can
honestly differ with the President
as to the necessity Of federal
woman suffrage amendment as a
war measure. The President in
presenting his ease, indicates that
many may deny it's validity. But
on the score Of woman suffrage as
question: Of National Honor the
President of the United States as
Commander in Chief Of the Army
and Navy has spoken in terms
that must appeal to the individual
conscience of every man who
trusts his vision Of what consti-
tutes national honor.
"Says the President: IF we in
deed be democrats and wish to
lead the world to democracy we
cam ask other peoples to accept
in proof of our sincerity and our
ability to lead them whittier they
wish to be led nothing less per-
suasive and convincing than our
actions. Our profession will not
suffice"
From the standpoint Of National
honor woman suffrage has become
necessity. These words of the
President conclusively show that
until the states do adopt woman
suffrage the thing men are dying
to vindicate and establish abroad
does not exist at home. Louisi-
, ana men are therefore under a
noblesse oblige to vote in favor
of the amendment November 8
support the President as well AZ
support the south's traditional
and practical faith in preserving
woman suffrage a state right.

or mask while near the patient.
Will a person who has had in-
f1uenza before catch the disease
againi MTn1
It is well known that an attack
of measles or scarlet fever or
smallpox usually protects per
son against another attack Of the
same disease. This appears not
| to be true of "Spanish influenza >
According to newspaper reports
the King Of Spain suffered an at
tack of influenza during the cpl
demic thirty years ago. and was
again stricken during the recent
outbreak in Spain.
How can one guard
against influenza?
In guarding against disease OF
all kinds, it is important that the
body be kept strong and able to
fight off disease germs. This can
be done by having a proper pro-
portion Of work, play, and rest,
by keeping the BODY well clothed,
| and by eating sufficient, whole
some, and properly selected food.
Tn connection with diet. it is we'll
to remember that milk is one OF
the best all-around foods obtain
| able for ADULTS as well as chill
dren. So far as disease like in
flnenza is concerne dhealth au-
thorities everywhere recognize
the very close relation between
it's spread and overcrowded
homes. While it is not always
possible. especially in times like
the present. to avoid such over
crowding. people should consider
the health danger and make eg-
lerv effort to reduce the home
overcrowdine to a minimum. The
value Of fresh air through open
windows can rot be over empha:

scribed, examination of ths
patient s blood may aid the ply
stefan in recognizing Spanish IN
fuenza," for it has been found
that in this disease the number
of white corpuscles shows little o.
no increase above the normal. l.
is possible that the laboratory III
designations now being made
through the National Research
Council and the United States Hy-
;, gienic Laboratory will furnish q
more certain way in which indi-
vidual cases of this disease can be
recognized.
What is the course of the dis
ease? Do people die of it?
Ordinarily. the fever lasts from
three to four days and the patient
RECEIVERS. But while the proper
ton Of deaths in the present cpl
demic has generally been low. in
some places the outbreak has been
severe and deaths have been num-
erous. When death occurs it IS
usually the result Of a complica-
ton.
What causes the disease and how
is it spread?
Psychologists who have studied
influenza epidemics in the past
have found in many Of the cases
a very small rod-shaped germ
called, after it's discoverer. Pfeif-
fer's bacillus. In other cases Of
apparently the same kind of dis
ease there were found pneumO-
coci. the germs of lobar pneu-
monia. Still others have been
caused by streptococi, and by
other germs with long names.
No matter what particular kind
of germ causes the epidemic. it is
now believed that influenza is al
ways spread from person to per-
son, the germs being carried with
the air along with the very small
droplets Of mucus, expelled by
coughing or sneezing, forcefu'
talking, and the like by one who
already has the germs Of the dis
ease. They may also be carried
about in the air in the form of
dust coming from dried mucus,
from coughing and sneezing. or
from careless people who spit on
the floor and on the sidewalk. As
in most other catching diseases. n
person who has only a mild at
tack of the disease himself may
give a very severe attack to
others.
What should be done by those
who catch the diseaseY
1t is very important that every
person who becomes sick with in-
fuenza should go home at once
and go to bed. This will help
keep away dangerous complica-
tions and will, at the same time,
keep the patient from scattering
the disease far and wide. It IS
HIGHLY desirable that no one be
allowed to sleep in the same room
with the patient. In fact, no one
but the nurse should be allowed
in the room.
If there is cough and sputnum
or running Of the eyes and nose.
care should be taken that all such
discharges are collected on bits
Of gauze or rag or paper napkins
and burned. II the patient COM
plains of fever and headache, he
should be given water to drink,
cold compress to the forehead,
and light sponge Only such
medicine should be given as is
prescribed by the doctor.
If the patient is so situated
that he can be attended only by
some one who must also look after
others in the family, it is advis-
able that such attendant wear a
wrapper. apron. or gown over the
ordinary house clothes while in
the sick room. and slip this off
when leaving to look after the
others.
