Everything, from richest furs 10
Kitchen aprons and war overalls, was
given q chance In the recent style
show at the Hotel Morrison, Chicago.
It was real exposition Of practical
garments Of all sorts, designed by
Americans, for Americans, and not
merely a competition between manu-
facturers to see which could exhibit
the most unusual, expensive and elab-
crate designs In women's apparel. The
garments were made to sell, not simply
for exhibition. and therefore one could
Judge from them the standards reached
ind the progress made In public taste.
1t was valuable and interesting ex-
hibit.
There was great deal Of interest In
the new service suits for women who
have taken up work usually done by
men-as work In factories, munitions
plants, gardens and the lighter farm
work. The suits are made with trou-
sers instead of skirts and usually in
one piece with a blouse. Several varie-
ties Of oyeralls were among them and
these warlady clothes proved more
slightly than the usual skirt and blouse
that are so prone to part company.
Nightdresses and negligees were not
neglected; for the eternal feminine may

to be repatriated.
Following this the scope Of the re-

And lastly another agreement was

Swiss government. It still further. ex.

freed.
Many Return to Homes
The freeing and exchanging of these
prisoners has been In progress for some

The melancholy days have come, but

but there cannot be two opinions about
the new hats. They are excellent
from every standpoint.
There are shapes that are large and
there are small hats. and all Of them
are graceful. Lines are wonderful and
trimmings do not interfere with them
or blur them. Brims are irregular,
crowns are soft, materials are rich
and trimmings simple. Much hand
craft appears n the making Of these
hats and in the making Of their trim

quiet. but nevertheless brilllanee Is

PIT1LEss PUBLICITY.

The National Security League has passed the
following resolution: Resolved, That the ex-
ecutive committee authorizes the publication,
nationally or locally as the committee may de-
eide, of the actual record of any prospective
candidate for congress, for the primaries or for
any regular election, without regard to politi-
cal affiliations The hope Of the League in Sc
curing one hundred per cent. loyalty congress
it seeks is evidently in publicity. 1t WILL how
ever, not be sufficient to make this publicity
simply pitiless; it must be absolutely in accord
with fact and uncolored by prejudice TO make
it the compelling influence on public opinion
and action which is sought. It will not be diff
cult to present the record of members of con-
gress who seek reelection, and information to
make this possible is being compiled by the
League. But in presenting the record of men
not hitherto in Office or on record during the
war period more difficult task lies before the
League; it is here that care must be exercised
to present only such portion of mans acts
and deeds as can be established by proof and
are pertinent to the question of his loyalty to
citizenship and the government.

WRONG WAY BY FIREMEN.

There are times and seasons and also there
are ways OF approaching a subject-the wrong
way and the right way It appears to The Gate
City that the fire fighting employees of Keokuk
have gone about the>matter Of securing an IN
increase in wages in the wrong way. This Is said
not In a manner to prejudice the question of the
necessity Of the men or for what they ask. But
In incorporating IN their appeal threat to prac-
tically 20 on strike if their demand Is not grant
ed by certain date and thus to leave the city
unguarded against destructive element, is not
commendable. Firemen and police officers oc-
cupy a position analogous to that of the de-
tenders of the country IN time Of war 1t is re-
grettable that the firemen, no matter what their
needs, have seen fit to adopt such methods in
order to accomplish their ends. Reflection
and cooler Judgment may bring to them a real
ization of their error. Threats are not com
patible with conditions of the times.

HOW THEY HATE U.s.

One Of the wounded American soldiers back
from the front says that the Germans hate
Americans as cordially as they do the English.
The general instructions Of the German officers
used to be, ''Get the English But since the
American expeditionary force has appeared in
France the orders have been changed to :.Get
the Americans. - Happily the Americans have
well-developed sense of humor and doubtless
the Yankees will derive much amusement
from Fritzy's ''Hymn Of Hate as do the Eng

DON'T FUSS; KEEP COOL.

With reasonable assurance of a stretch Of hot
weather ahead, the average citizen may as well
fortify himself against the discomforts incident
to the climatic conditions. One very good way
in which to contribute to the desired end is to
keep in mind always that one is only respons-
ible for what one can control. No amount OF
fretting or worrying will have any effect on
the weather. It does have effect on the indi-
vidual, however, and renders the fretting one
less able to abide the heat Keep your mind
on something else, and you'll get along lot
better. Eschew fancy fodder of all kinds, don t
fuss about the weather and the heated spell
will be over before you realize it, and you will
be in splendid condition, mentally and physical
ly, to revel in the glories of the Incompatible
Indian summer that comes with autumn in
