AMERICA WILL SETTLE
 PRESENT WORLDS WAR
Liberty Loan Bond in American Hands ls Most Effective
 Weapon.

Before the United States entered the war the conflict may have been one for Europeans to settle, with the future of the world depending upon the results. But since America de- clared war it has become distinctly our wcr,
 It no longer is England's war, or Frances war, but Americas war-the war of all the nations associated to de- feat German autocracy. which seeks to donsinate and enslave the world
 The hest way to support the war Is to hny Liberty Bond while the brave boys are at the front fighting for you and for your home and for everything sacred.

IN FASHION LAND

Umbrellas are short and thick, with wooden sticks.
 Novelty effects in coats and capes give slender lines.
 The tunic blouse makes the coat suit more attractive.
 Pockets continue to give a military air to the latest sports coats.
 Newest skirts are so narrow that they allow only the tiniest steps.
 A novel white collar is made with points for widows black frock.
 The colored bridal gown has been made fashionable for the war bride.
 A bow is frequently the only trim- ming on the hat with sweeping lines.
 Almost every style is in fashion, but straight-line models are most favored.
 The latest manner of wearing the watch is to dangle it from a fob rib- bon.
 Utility coats remind one of an off. cer's top coat-full and belted in the back.
 Fur coats are uncommonly inter- esting this year on account of their belts.
 A very pretty dress has the sash and shoulder yoke of silk in contrasting color. ! { Silver lace is used over sllimmering satin, in making charming evening dress.
 The mourning dress of black taf- feta can be fastened with dull silver buttons.

SERGE Is POPULAR
Material Will Be in Greater De-
 mand Than Ever Before.
Economical and Wartime Features Taken Into Consideration, Declare
 Manufacturers and Buyers.

When you say serge dress you al- ways think of a navy blue serge dress, don't you?-and you usually think of a trim litle dress, severe enough to be worn without d coat on the street,
 with furs in the spring and autumn
 and yet elaborate enough to be quite attractive in the house. All this is combined in those simple syllablcs
 "serge dresS'-and it is this that is expected to be even more popular on
 the dress bill of fare than ever before
 observes New York fashion corre- spondent. Manufacturers and buyers of dresses say that because of the spirit of economy that prevails this type of frock will be bound to be pop
 ular, and for this reason they are looking forward 10 a large demand for these dresses among the ready-made
 output for the spring. More than any War uniform or any ingeniously de- vised reversible, convertible frock this serge frock will serve as the mos pop
 ular wartime getup.
 One very nice thing about the serge
 dress is that it always looks econOm- cal even if as a matter of fact it is not, and to look very expensively dressed these days is not the aim of most women. The mere man who sees well-dressed woman neatly frocked in q smart blue serge dress will men, tally register his approval of her eco- nomical and therefore, patriotic dress i ing. Perhaps the goods for the dress cost $S yard-for the best quality of blue serge is no longer inexpensive and perhaps the dress all in all cost $1OO. Still it looks simple, it is emi- nently serviceable and it does not look eXtravagant. Had the same woman worn a charmeuse of georgette and chiffon frOck worth only half that amount the man would think her eX- travagantly dressed and therefore no true patriot.
 The simple blue serge froch does not have to be expensive in order to be at tractive. But it must be we'll made.
 Any good dresSmaker or a reliable tai
 Tor can put such dress together, pro-
 vided the model for it is suitable to the figure for which it is intended. How
 ever, although great attention must be given to the fit, the dress should not in one sense of the word fit at all, even if it is to be worn by a woman of ann pie girth. The charm of that style of dress lies in it's hang and cut, but it shouldsnot touch the figure. It should follow if faithful1y hl1t hang slightly free from it to be most attractive.

There is an indescribabe something about this blouse, which wins your heart at once. The blouse is perfectly made in blue and white-striped Jap- anese crepe. 1t is handmade blouse, and that is the reason for it's perfec- tion. The white.linen stock, cuffs and collar are other reasons for the beauty. The bonnet is handsome model just about the size that will be popular during the spring and summer months. The band of flowers around the crown is the only trimming.

First, to make leather from the
skins of sharks, rays and other
fish heretofore considered non-ed-
IDLE, and, second, to convert the
fish into food products. 1t has
been proved that these two things
can be done, and the chief ques-

stated; also, what inducemen1
