CONTROVERSY BETWEEN
 QUALITY AND STYLE

This problem, which has been pre- sented to every woman during the last six months, as to whether she should buy gown which lasts and pay big price for it, or buy one which she may discard soon, and at a much lower price. is of high interest. It is settled by the individual and yet it is im- portant to the mass.
 There is an advocate for each side in every crowd that foregathers to dis cuss the problem; and. more to the purpose, there are many advocates for each side in the commercial world The people who do exquisite work are loud in their claims that it is better to pay a high price for material and workmanship. that will last as long as economy demands. than to pay a fifth of that price for ready-to-wear gown that will fall apart after few months service.
 Opposing this argument. and con- ducting a brilliant and usually success full offensive, is another line. made up of those who insist that in a day like this women prefer style to quality and workmanship; that they would rather pay somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty dollars for ready-t to-wear frock that Incorporates the newest fashion

features and gives one a smart look. even if it has to be thrown away be- fore long.
 Several women adopt this method:
 They buy one high-priced gown of excellent quality and workmanship,
 and see to it that the frock is not ulsra- fashionable that it has no glaring features which pronounce it frock of the hour and not of the year. After this purchase they build up the ward robe with cheaper frocks. This Is nec- essary in hot weather. One must have variety for the sake of cleanliness, if not coquetry.
 These women buy most of their gowns at the shops. They prefer to take advantage of new stock at a small price, rather than reduced mod els at the same price, because the lat ter are far from fresh and must be sent to the cleaners. and there is still the consciousness that they have been worn by mannequins daily for over six weeks.
 It has always been the method of the women on small income, who WiSueo to ufeSS AdoHioiidoiy' to cdrS little for quality or workmanship and eFsnd all on style. It is for this req son that America presents the most brilliant and dashing conglomeration of young women in the world. The shops cater to this immense crowd which prefers five cheap gowns that are smart to one admirable gown that is conservative.

How Education Pays

Maj. B. Foster in Lesie's.
 Business education will pay you in dollars and cents as well as in satis- faction to be derived from knowing what is going on about you. Any educa- ton will pay in the same way, in so far as it may be regarded as training for business.
 The Massachusetts committee on in- dustrial education found as a result of study of 799 workers who had left school at either II or IS years of age, that the boys who had remained four years longer in school, in order to take & technical course, soon caught up with those who quit at IA, and went ahead of them so rapidly that at the age of 22 the sum of four years salary of the better educated was equal to that of the eight years salary of the others. At the age of 25 the average difference in salary between men in the two groups was s9Oo year.
 A great electric supplies company, which began its policy of employing col lege men about 10 years ago, has found that % per cent of them make good. as compared with 10 per cent of the men who enter business on leaving high school or grammar school.
 Statistics based on data gathered from 100 business houses, and covering q period of three or four years, indicate that 90 per cent of the college men were successful in rising to large salaries and responsible positions as compared with 25 per cent of noncollege men.
 The money value of college educa- tion has been proved beyond any doubt. Here are some typical bits of testimony:
 A study of the salaries received for the first five years by the students-grad- uates and nongraduates-who went out from the Sheffield Scientific school of Yale in 1906 revealed the following:
 First year out, S6S3s5; second year out, $Sss.3o; third year out, $l257.24; fourth year out, $1s56f4; fifth year out, s204o.04.
 A study of the Harvard law class of 1905 showed similar results. After two years, 1es graduates reported salaries which averaged $111S; after five years, the figure had climbed to s26ls.
 A study of the salaries Of students at- tending the Evening School of Finance and Accounts of the University of Penn sylvania, while continuing their regular business occupations during the day, shows what financial returns may be expected from this kind of education. During the seven years subsequent to 1907, $50 men graduated; and during thls time they reported an average increase in salaries of 23 per cent year, and average salaries of s30o0 a year at the end of 1914,

CT to buy ready-to-wear garments from the shops or to give seamstresses their high prices to make-over gowns
 There is no longer any question of exploiting one-clothes and concealing the price; and therefore in all the arguments that have been taken up by every kind of women's club, $ well as in those circles which have hereto fore been largely given over to society, the questions of price and efficiency, of standardization and variety of the American product as against the for eign, are fought out with unusual skill and discernment.
 All of this lifts the question of ap- parel on a high economical plane. It jerks clothes bodily out of the lower strata of mere coquetry, of the adorn- ment of the person for reasons of vanity, and of the eternal desire to al- lure, into one of high strategy, finance and efficiency.
 It is on this plane that the question of clothes has alway rested in Paris Underneath the most frivolous exterior the French woman has always pre- served a shrewd mind concerning what she buys. The reckless prodigality of our spendthrift manner of buying clothes has never been touched in any other country.
 We are still spending money, and much of it. on clothes. and we will con- tinue to do so as long as there is as much money in this country as now. But our women have been unblinded, as it were. through catastrophe, and they pitch into the battle of purchase ing apparel with the same intelligence and cleverness that they show in grasping the food question. Here's to a long continuance of this attitude. both in the pantry and in the sewing rnop1f

women are to be divided into two camps those who put all their money into one conservative well-built gown that must last, and those who now and then buy frocks that have, chic and that incor- porate the new fashion features.
 And, mind you, there will be poor women in the first camp and rich wom- en in the other. Rich women who have always given $250 for a gown are now paying s30, with g for alteration; and those who have never indulged in high priced frock are putting all the eggs into one basket, going to good place, and dismissing the clothes question from their minds for season by choosing one frock which, from the nature of it's work manship, must last.
 All the straws point to the fact that the former method will be the most popular We are a restless nation. We thrive on change and variety. Put us into a standardized costume of sack cloth and ashes and our morale would break up like house of cards and go drifting down the stream of depression. Give us what we need as a nation what all young nations need-and we will do our duty brilliantly and success frllv

ENLvENING DISCUSSION IS TAKEN UP BY WOMEN WHER EVER FOREGATHER-THERE IS A HEAVY BATTLE ON AMONG THE OF CLOTHES WHO TRY TO PERSUADE WOMEN INTO OPPOSING CAMPS-VARIETY' IN SUMMER IS so DESIRABLE THAT EVEN RICH WOMEN SEVERAL CHEAP GOWNS THAT CAN BE DISCARDED IN SEPTEMBER
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-06-16

One of the several discussions which have been thrown into the modern hour which breeds discussions as field does mushrooms-is whether it is bet ter for woman to look for quality or for style in her clothes?
 The argumentatiye and prohlemati- cal side of the clothes is by no mea ns a small issue in the work of winning the war No woman has a soul so dead that she does not want to con eentrate her efforts in the right difec- ton, and to bring to all the minor phases of life. which she may have heretofore waved away with eare- less gesture, the deep thought and high efficiency which the hour de- mands.
 Once upon a time the talk of clothes turned only to fabrics, shaping, access sories and colors. This was enough to gossip about and it gave the public and the dressmakers lively time. But we have gone upward-or down ward, whichever one wishes to call it- in a series of spirals to another stratum of air We are intent upon the dis CuSStOH OL W Iidl iS SOoo Ol Ohos NtitNN SS cheap and nasty as opposed to what is cheap and worthy in women's ap- pareL Intelligent women. and other wise, find that the gauntlet of argu- ment thrown into the arena is instant ly snatched up by everyone who has a voice, and the problematical side of war time appareling makes an en1:v- ening discussion that puts scandal, so- ciety and love affairs in the back ground.
 INTELLIGENT DISCUSSION OF
 CLOTHES A LIGHT TO BLIND
 Surely no one. not even the most intense warworker can object to the emphatic fact that the pros and cons of what to buy in clothes are as worthy of attention as the subject of what to eat.
 Those who cry out for standardiza- tion of dress, for the wearing of ore gown till it drops from the body. for the elimination of all enlivenment, va riety and picturesqueness in apparel. should look we'll into their own dining rooms and kitchens to see if they carry out these convictions in the food that  is served.
 It is foolish to say that it is impos- sible for a human being to eat food that has no variety and no attractive serving, but that it is perfectly pos- sible for woman to discard all the finer parts of dress and cease to care how she looks. One method might be deadening to the appetite. therefore reacting on the health of the body, while the other would be deadening to the mind and would surely react into mental and moral depression and in- aptitude.
 This very question of uniforms, of lack of variety in clothes. of a method that bars enough frocks to change in, is one of the gauntlets thrown into the arena of discussion wherever wom- en are foregathered.
 Another is the question of quality versus style; and still again, the argu- ment turns toward whether it is cheap

WAISTCOAT THAT
 REACHES TO THE KNEES

| Last January, the women III dIis wore waistcoats of fur, velvet, knit fted wool and dyed homespun that
 reached from the collar bone to the knees. The heads of dressmaking houses, who are carefully watched
 wherever they go, contributed to the fashion for these accessories by placing them in their own suits.
 | America introduced few of them, and she did not find even the short waist | coats of last February a success. It
 was worn by a few segments of smart women, fashionable and unfashionable. rich and poor, but the long waistcoat was treated as an outcast. It was not even recognized. But France persisted, and the dressmakers in New York are putting it into suits and frocks for summer resorts. The prophecy runs that it will be a dominant feature of
 new autumn clothes.

 waistcoat also. It is made in differ ent color from the gown; it is used for protection or for beauty, and all though it is probably taken from the
 reign of Louis XIV, it has none of the
 elegance or jauntiness of it's prede- cessor. It merely looks warm and com lfortable, or gay and colorful.
 1 It is the longest waistcoat that has | ever been worn by woman. It was
 matched in length by those worn at the court of the Grand Monarque. Looking at it in it's most essential fea- lture, it is merely another way to lstraighten the figure. It, therefore, can

 There are one-piece frocks creeping into the fashions that show the Medici collar of double tulle, hemstitched at the edge, and there are soft voile gowns over colored taffeta that have outstanding neck ruffles of white chif- fon that are deftly and carelessly held up by wires.
 It pays to keep the eye trained on new neckwear, and evidently, Paris be- l1ieves that something must be done to get away from the ubiquitous, half low decolletage which has prevailed for a decade.

CLARION.

The Louisiana State University
Press Bulletin announces thu
recent publication by the State
Experiment Station of bulletin
on Anthrax or Charlton. The
work is by Mr.. Harry Morris, the
bacterlologist and assistant veter-
marian Of the Station, and gives
an account Of experiments in the
transmission of anthrax, or char
bon, by blood-sucking insects.
The horn fly, the house fly and
the mosquito were used in these
experiments. The results show
that these insects are capable of
transmitting anthrax by feeding
upon healthy animals after having
bitten an infected one. This has
been the conclusion here in Lou
isiana for years, but has never
been definitely demonstrated we
assume. until with this work now
done at the station. 1t is com
monty believed that there are two
kinds of Charlton, one the result
of ingestion Of food infected with
the Charlton germ, and the other
caused by the bite of flies, as IS
now stated by Mr.. Morris. His
conclusion is that there is great
necessity for protecting animals
that may be found sick with char
bon from the bite of blood-suck-
ing insects. This recommends
ton is very similar to that given
in 1905 concerning yellow fever
in New Orleans. The idea evolved
here then was that anybody found
with the yellow fever should he
placed Immediately under mos
quito bars and so taken care Of
that the mosquitoes could get no
access to him, and this would pre-
vent the spread of the disease.
Since that time there has been no
yellow fever here. Mr.. Morris |
raises another point of value and
that is the necessity Of keeping
valuable animals in screened |
during outbreaks Of |
charbon, or anthrax. This bulle-
tin may be obtained free by writ
ing to the State Experiment Sta
ton, Louisiana State University, |

I'VE HAVE JUST BEGUN
TO FIGHT"

Three months ago it was tn
plan Of the War Department I,
to call only 100000 men to tn,
colors this year. Members o
the Senate Military COMMITTEE,
said on the floor of the Senat,
that talk of our having 1,0OO,O0l
men in France by January LIST
1919. was the imagination of i'm
practical men.
Men are begging called to tn,
colors now at the rate of 5000.
600 year. According to state
ment Of Andre Tardieu, head Of
the French commission in the
United States. to the French
newspapers, the United States
will have 100000 soldiers in
France by July !. President
Wilson has said, in reply to a res
olution introduced in the Con.
gress limiting the size of our arm
les to 100000 men, that there
should be no limit placed on the
number of men we are to arm and
send to fight the battles Of civil
cation.
There is nothing in this show
Of strength on our part which
should astound the American
people. Surely those who are
amazed that we are able to mob.
ilize such manpower are unfa-
miliar with the history of their
own country.
The American colonies put one
soldier to every 10 Of population
in the field against Great Britain.
To raise an army of proportionate
size today would mean $500, 900
men under arms.
During the Civil War the North
put one soldier in the field to ev-
cry eight persons. An American
army of proportionate size today
would be 12,O0O,O00 men. The
South put one soldier in the field
to every seven of it's population.
To do proportionatelv well today
the United States should put 15,-
100000 under arms.
America hasn't scratched the
surface Of her manpower. In the
language Of John Paul Jones,
eve have just begun to fight.
