For late summer and early fall wear
the choice of fabrics for children's
dressy frocks narrows down, as sheer
goods arc more or less eliminated from
calculation. Wool has advanced until
1t has reached point where silk may
be considered on a par with 1t, so far
as economy Is concerned. For this and
for patriotic reasons. the little miss
may as wetl go In silk attire as in any
thing else.
Among the new model dresses there
are taffetas, crepe de chine and fou-
lards. The taffetas are shown In plain
eolors and In narrow stripes, the crepe
ie chino In uniformly plain colors
and the foulards. with medium dark
grounds, have small figures In white or
In white and colors printed on them.
But, of all silks, the taffetas fill the
requirements of children's dress In
the best manner. One oi the prettiest
taffetas is shown above and Is an ex-
cellent example Of good designing.
This frock has skirt In which the
fullness is arranged in Eve box plaits.
Il is set on to q short bodice. and by
way of ornament It has suspenders Of
silk over the shoulders. They are
split near the ends. where they extend
below the bodice and fasten to the

UTILIZE THE GARBAGE
Food Administration Says Big
Saving Can Be Made.
Housekeepers Urged to Keep Kitchen
and Table Refuse Separate
From Other Waste.

WnshingtOn.-A campaign for the
utilization of garbage has been inaugu-
rated by the United States food adj
mlnistration, which Is advising all state
administrators to spread garbage
utilization propaganda through their
territory and urge upon housekeepers
the necessity for keeping garbage
(kitchen and table refuse) in sepa-
rate container from other house
refuse
Figures and statistics Issued by the
food administration show that in one
ton of garbage there is sufficient
glycerin to make the explosive charge
for IA 75-milllmeter shells. enough
fatty acid" tc manufacture 10 pounds
Of soap, fertilizer elements to grow
eight bushels of wheat and score of
other valuable materials essential in
the manufacture of munitions.
1t Is also pointed out that "a cities
of over 100000 nre not utilizing gar
bage and that the combined popula-
ton, which is estimated to he over
100000 Is wasting 4.4OO, 900 pounds
Of nitrOglycerin and 4O.OOOOOO 12-
ounce cakes OF soap besides 10000 tons
of tankage, which contains fertilizer
elements sufficient to produce n 3.OOO.-
600 bushel wheat crop. The value Of
this loss of materials is estimated at
$5,OO0,OOO.
In % cities where there are garbage
utilization plants the figures show TINT
a combined population of 100000
people nre utilizing these products, to
the value OF over $11 900. 600 annually.
and that large percentage of this
saving is being directly used by the
government In munItIon making.
But In these % cities. or most Of
them. large amounts of garbage are
destroyed by burning or made useless
by being mixed with other wastes.
II In these 20 cities the garbage was
kept clean" or free from bottles. tin
cans. crockery and other foreign mat
ter. the snving to the government
would be many million dollars more.
The responsibility devolves upon the
shoulders of the housewife, who Is
urged to see that nothing but garbage
goes into the garbage pail. Other
house refuse has a value but its value
Is lost and the value of the garbage
Is lost II refuse and garbage are mixed.

Soldier and Sweetheart Correspond in

Of Being Spy.

Omaha. Neb.-A young business
woman Of Omaha last spring married
a soldier. and he went to his southern
cantonment while she remained here.
In order that his inquisitive fellow SOL
diers should not be able to decipher
their love messages. they arranged q

Recently she wanted to visit him
at his camp. She wired him in the

young bridegroom was arrested as a

She arrived only to find her soldier
husband in the guardhouse. Then she

which were sent swixling to destruc-
ton below.
All this time the German aircraft
were continuing their bitter battle
among themselves and several of them
were seen to go down out Of con-
troll before the engagement finally
ended. The British leaders. by their
good judgment, had led the Huns into
their own trap.
Fifty Planes In Fight.
This undoubtedly was unique oc-
currence. but there are always plenty
Of thrilling incidents happening In
the air these days. Take. for instance.
the case Of British patrol Of about
eight battle planes which fought and
vanQuished some forty enemy craft
few days ago. This British patrol.
under command Of captain. was
escorting a bombing squadron when
two score enemy machines were en-
countered. The British fighters and
the enemy Immediately raced in for
the attack.
Within a few seconds q fierce night
was In progress and the great feet Of
nearly half a hundred airships were
swirllng and diving madly against one
another. while their machine guns
Joined in the vicious chorus that swept
down to the troops on the ground like
the noise from scores Of steam trip
hammers.
The British outmaneuvered and out
fought the enemy and many Of the
Germans were sent spinning away.
Whether they were merely frightened
or were out Of control. 1t was impos-
sible to say. but at the conclusion Of
the fight four German machines lay In
crumpled masses on the earth and an
other had gone down in flames.

On the train from Edmonton to Win
nipeg the writer took a seat beside q
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and ON
his left cheek he bore scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers in August.
1914. he hastened to the recruiting
office. leaving his 32O-acre farm, with
its crop ready for harvest, full
equipment of farm implements. plenty
of horses, and wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master of the situation. and 10y
ally took hold of the question of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded. and
again in 1916. and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed. the Indebtedness of the farm
paid of. considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he a proud man!
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba.
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward who. for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land, doing all
the regular work on the farm. such as
plowing. seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe-
cially successful with stock, and have
splendid herd of shorthorns. both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased new
purebred stock bull for 800. Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss r. NJ. Hlllmnn of Keller. Sas-
katchewan. is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone in ex-
| tensively for grain growing. and farms
1.12O acres. She also owns some Of
| the finest PercherOn horses In Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less sue
cess. though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still dem
onstrating, that a versatile woman
may be just as good and successful
farmer as her brother.
There are other women. too, on the
Canadian pralries, who. though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
sponsibilities Of running farm"
have been decided factors in making
the farm q success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm &C
counts. reducing the grocer's bills By
their management Of the poultry and
butter, taking care of the house. and,
very often. proving good advisers In
the economic management Of the men
and general conduct Of the farm work.

British Join in Air Battle Between
Two Teuton Flying
Squadrons.
ENEMY PULLS BAD BoNER
English Pilots JoyfuIIy and ImpartIaIiy
Render Assistance First to
One Side, Then to
49, the Other.

With the British Army In France
This is the story of battle royal
waged In the air between two flights
of German planes. 1t was an uninten-
tional but disastrous night between
brother aviators. during which British
pilots joyfully and impartially rem
dered assistance first to the one side,
then to the other. until 80 many Of
the emperor's flyers had been de-
stroyed or damaged that the conflict
could not continue.
This extraordinary engagement be-
gan thus:
Two British officers In q fighting
machine were leading a patrol along
the lines when they sighted a German
Halberstadt two-seater. which upon
their appearance fired a green signal
light. The British leaders expected a
trap and waited to see what this un-
usual performance meant.
Too Many Come to Rescue.
In a short tme six German scouts
came wheeling out of the blue and
Joined the Halberstadt. Almost at
once six other enemy scouts dived
out of the sun onto their comrades.
whom they apparently mistook for a
British patrol about to attack the Hal
berstadt.
What had happened was this: The
Halberstadt had been acting as a de-
coy. and the green light had been
meant as signal for assistance. But
there had been no expectation that
two flights of German planes would
respond at the same time.
Not being able to distinguish the
markings Of their friends-and this
has happened not infrequently before
the newcomers Immediately began
a furious attack upon them. The Brit
ish leaders then guided their patrol
into this mad melee and took a hand.
The Halberstadt was the first VIC
tim and this was shot down BY the
British commanding machine. Another
British fighter in the meantime had
accounted for two more enemy scouts.
