With elaborate simplicity of the
dresses, suits and coats still the most
sought after feature, some little touch
is necessary to give the desired dis
tinction to each individual garment. So
the sleeve or the panel of the waist
line must be given some unusual role
to play, and in spite of the similarity
of line, every design is different, so
different from another which is not so
much like it. The long bell sleeve is
one of the most favored of the new of
ferings Graceful in itself, it lends a
dignified charm to the severely plain
and otherwise ordinary costume. Some
times there are tiny bias ruffles at
the edge, and this style we leave for
the young coquette who wears il so
well and looks at her very best in a
dress that has Just such sleeve. The
long tight dart fitted sleeve is still the

There is one consolation that always

stimulates our imagination sufficiently
to actually visualize ourselves in these

see winter openings in the heat of sum-

tions of the apparatus which Thomas
A. Edison has invented for the detec
tion of submarines have become known
The device is electrical in its operation
and is fastened to the speedy ehasers.
Through its intricate machinery the
presence of a submerged U-boat within
a radius of five miles of the chaser
can be detected. The position of the
submerged craft can also be detected
with reasonable accuracy. The chaser
must come to- full stop before the To-
cation of the submarine can be detect

Mr.. Edison made his first expert
ments with the invention in Chesa-
peake Bay several weeks ago. Since
then there has been q series of other
experiments on land to perfect the APP
paratus.
A Baltimore captain today told of
meeting in Philadelphia the captain of
an American schooner which recently
was torpedoed off the Atlantic coast.
For eight days he was kept a prisoner
and was treated with the utmost con
sideration. One night, the skipper said

shipping, especially the latter.

O0e Of the most striking thoughts

An reference to McLaurin's stand on
ship subsidies. In November, 1902
senator McLaurin delivered an ad-
dress to the Southern Cotton Spin
Aers association Id Atlanta. Ca. and
in 1t. not only called attention to our
lack OF ships, but to what Germany
was doing In this respect.
Great Britain is spending two
million a year in mail subsidies in
excess Of her receipts. France, ia
pan and Germany are spending mil
lions each year and together they
have driven the American merchant
nag from the high seas. There are
millions of American money invest
ed in ships that run under the Ger
man ad English flag, because this
government is blind to the impor.
tance Of ships. Remember that be-
ing under foreign flag in case OF
war. these ships built with American
money will be used against us.
This will strike the south a ter
rible blow when war does come, be-
cause our only money crop is cotton
and it is an export crop. These mer,

UNITED STATES FOOD ADMIN.
ISTRATION SOUTH CAROLINA
Plenty Of Cans and Sugar For Pre-
serving and Canning Fruits
and Vegetables

South Carolina made a most envi-
able record last year in it's canning
campaign. Perhaps no State showed
as intelligent effort as did this State
for preserving her vegetables and
fruit crops. Those who showed the
foresight to can and preserve reap
ed the full benefits by not having to
buy canned goods at high prices.
From a purely economical standpoint
the necessity of canning fruits and
vegetables is more serious this year
than ever before. Last year many
thought they would not be able to
get sugar for their canned goods.

ment is regulating, and will con-
tinue to regulate the price of sugar.
and will hold 1t at a normal figure.
Food Administration Elliott is conf
dent that ten cents per pound for su-
gar, at retail, will be the prevailing
price. 1t is. therefore, very prudent
to plant vegetables and such food
stuffs as can be. conserved during
the coming summer. The govern
ment is already taking ample pre-
caution to see that everybody gets
plenty OF containers and sugar, and
the following telegram was sent out
from the Food Administration Office
In Washington. 1t will be of gener-
al interest. and reads:
Regarding sugar supplied for

ducts approaching necessity of both

all manufacturers Of essential food
products are advised that they will
be able to obtain their full necessary

In connection with the extension
of the south's foreign trade. Senator
McLaurin advocated an American
merchant marine.
Our weakness upon the sea is
the one great danger that confronts
the nation" said the senator. "If

Hurricane WreckS Many

Ragged Off California Coast Destroying Two Shipping
 Board Vessels.

By Associated Press.
 San Diego, Calif., Sept. 26.-In a terrific hurricane that ragged off the lower California and northwest coast of Mexico last Tuesday, two United States shipping board vessels on their maiden trips were sunk, a fleet of other craft was badly battered; the lower California town of La Paz was partially destroyed and the floating equipment of the United States naval coal deport at Pichilinque was dama- ged. News of the havoc wrought by the stodm was brought here today by a long overdue fishing launch.
 Several residents of Lapez were re- ported killed.
 The crews of the vessels sunk were resuced by passing steamers after being adrift three days in open boats.

 Brown related a graphic story of the loss of the Blackford. No details of the loss of the Coos Bay have been received here with the exception that the wooden craft foundered about fifty miles from where the Blackford went down.

BANKERS CHANGE THE NATIONAL
 CONSTITUTION

Chidago, Sept. 26-A number of changes were made to the constitution of the American Bankers Association at todays session of the association convention.
 One of them may have an impor- tant effect in obtaining future legis- lature by the members.
 It provides that where two sections of the association cannot agree on proposed legislation the question will be submitted to a committee of the main body.
 If this committee is unable to com pose the differences, the solution re- questing the new law must ask for it as individuals and not as represents tives of the American Bankers Asso- ciation.
