You bring their succor nigh.

The distinguishing feature of the
costume illustrated in the accom-
panying sketch is the snug fit
ting above the waist line. A
number of the style creators
have exhibited a preference for
this form of modelling, the lines
of which present an evolution
of the basque lines of the hustle
mode. This suit is fashioned
from bottle-green velvet and the
trimming is of nutria fur. The
collar, too, it should be noted,
has its element or originality.

TT Is possible to qualify the definition
L made above. Woman's lack of logic
is more than bump Of originality. 1t
is, say, two parts that and one part
bravery. Woman is original in max
ing suggestions, and she Is brave
enough TO put them in practice and see
them through. 1t is only lately that
any one would give her a chance to
put them through. Perhaps, now in the
day of short cuts TO war efficiency, 1t
will be proved that an idea unfortified
by the dignity of precedent can never
theless very often be q very good idea,
Then when we've all-the men, too
grown hopelessly illogical our brothers
will call 1t something else!

At a meeting of Morgan
City grocers held last night with

a resolution was passed request
ing the Administrator to es-

chase of sugar and that no deal
er be permitted to make a sale
except upon presentation of a
card bearing the proper allot-
ment for his family based on the
present rui ling of two pounds

the expressed opinion of a num-
Der of those present that a su-
gar shortage exists, due either
to increased population since the
three months estimate was
made several months ago, or
else the present distribution
system in effect has not proved
equitable. The grocers believe
that results obtained from a
card system will determine
whether or not shortage eX-

Under the new plan as suggest
ed by the dealers. a registrars
office will be opened, who will
issue one card to each family
authorizing the bearer to pur-
chase sugar to the amount de-
pendant upon the number in his
family-two pounds per person.
The grocer will be guided by the
information given on this card
and in no case will sell sugar
except upon presentation of the
card. 1t was their opinion that
the registrars office be opened

system becomes effective. Sep

Ten ten million imprisoned
people in occupied Belgium and
France are facing shame, suffer
ing, disease and some of them
death for lack of clothing this
winter. They must be helped.
I hope that the Red Cross will
undertake a renewed campaign
to obtain this clothing in Amer
lea. It can come only from us.
Your first campaign yielded
magnificent results, bringing in
fully 5000 tons of clothing in
good condition. But much is
needed if these war-ravaged
people are to get through the
winter in decency and safety.
In the face of brutal coercion
and spiritual suffering they re-
main splendidly courageous. This
courage challenges our charity.
Let us match the courage Of Bel
gium by the generosity of Amer
lea.

better. One merchant who kept
