A few days ago Lieut.. Alexander G

a burst of machine gunfire shot the
attacker dead and sent his plane to the

Lieut.. Harry L. HoltZ of Burley

coolness in danger with a thorough un

The Diary of a Sugar Hog

Don't blame it on the Food Admin,
istration; blame 1t on the German sub
marines; they're responsible. And you.
and other sugar hogs are doing more
damage than the submarines by eating

belt Of the material, and the skirt
was exceedingly narrow and short.
BY the way, It is wise for any wom-
an who orders a new suit today to see
that the skirt has a sizeable hem, for
the new order to the shoemakers,
given by the government, which de-
mands low shoes for the duration of
the war; may change the skirt length
I doubt IL. The length may be
changed, but 1t will not be because of
the low shoes, for CATERS, which are
made of fabric, may be as high as
desired, and women prefer them to
high boots.
We may also adopt the French fash
ion of wearing serviceable Oxford ties
with straight heels and rounded toes.
The bootmakers say they have more
orders for these today than ever. With
such shoes the average woman does
not care whether her skirt is eight
or ten inches from the ground, unless
she is given to suffering from exposed

American Designers Exploiting
Fresh Fashions by Use of
Discarded Materials.
NO OUTSIDE HELP NECESSARY
Country No Longer Must Ask What Is
the Fashion, but Is Enabled to Pro-
duce Sufficient to Supply
the Demand.

New York.-Paris is never handi-
capped in creating fashions by the
actions of other designers. That is
why she is powerful. America has al
ways suffered under this handicap be-
cause she has followed Paris, asserts
"A prominent fashion authority. She
has never been inclined to risk the
exploitation of fabrics, fashions and
cOlorings that were not sponsored by
the mother of fashions.
1t is said of us that we acknowledge
the best in every nation and bring it
to our shores. We know the best in
every department of art, science and
literature. If we are compelled to put
our knowledge to practical use, we at
least have the best to 60 on. We are
not ignorant.
The time has come for this expert
ment, as we all know, and the observer
thinks that a few medals of honor
should be distributed to those who
have gone "over the top" in designing
clothes in this country. 1t took great
commercial courage and it required a
sound knowledge of the American
public.
What France Did America Does.
Here are two anecdotes which ac-
centuate the point. They happened a
dozen years apart. Nine. Paquin saw
several bolts of checked silk in man.
ufacturer's hands. Neither the weave,
the cOloring nor the design was in
fashion, to quote her own phrase. The
manufacturer complained that he had
no call for this quantity Of material
and that he would sell it for about
a franc and half yard. Nine. Pa
quin took 1t all, went to her salons
on the Rue de la Paix, turned the
cheap check silk into an alluring frock
of her own design, and then wore it
at Trouville-by-the-Se She made the
frOck, the design, the color and the
fabric fashionable. Everyone wanted
to wear what she wore. She sold
every inch of the material at a price
that brought her unmeasured profit
on the transaction.
Last month an American designer
was looking over the stock of lace

importer. "Nothing new," said the
importer. "Here / am held up with
about fifty Spanish lace scarfs which
l bought at venture, thinking could
distribute them in the trade In Amer
lea, but no one took them. The one
answer was that they are not in
fashion,"
The designer said that If the i'm
porter would give him one he would
turn 1t into gown that would sell
all the other scarfs, on condition that
he received commission on their sale.
The bargain was closed. The gown
was designed. 1t sold Immediately.
1t was copied so fast that the other
40 scarfs melted away like flakes 2e
soap In hot water. Spanish lace was
offered as first fashion.
That is good example of the
change that has come over the Ameri-
can merchant and the American de-
signer. We no longer have to ask
what is the fashion, but are probably
enabled to make the fashion for our
own continent.

of the world, because 1t is plentiful.
There is no trouble about getting all
the taffeta one wants, and it is best
that we model our wardrObes for the
near future on the materials that can
be bought in this country in sufficient
quantity to correspond to our needs
Much can be done with this mate
rial that will result in gown out of
the ordinary and conspicuous for
charm and cleverness. If you could
have seen a woman who came into a
restaurant for DINER wearing a GER
tain black taffeta gown, you would
have been convinced in the twirkling
of an eye that the fabric matters moth
ing If the designer has cleverness.
The skirt was made of narrow
ruffies that extended from waist to
ankles, each ruffle edged with a white
silk cord. The hem was excessively
narrow. The foundation for these
ruffles fitted the figure like a sheath.
There was bodice, straight and SIM
pie, and the major part of it was
yoke with short sleeves which was
braided with white cord in a fantastic
design. At the side of the waist was
deep pink satin rose with green vel
vet leaves. The slippers and stock
ings were green. There was nothing
demure about this black taffeta gown.
Treat Blue Serge in Various Ways.
Blue serge is a fabric that will al
ways be with us, as far as the manu-
facturers and the war board can look

 1 Since the recent unfortunate ac- cdent happened to young Master Gawne, parents of children have brought the matter to our attention, that as general rule the drivers of the water-wagon-teams have a ! habit of sometimes being ahead, sometimes abreast, and at other times behind their teams when de- livering the H2O.
 Of course we fully understand the position of the waterman, in trying to deliver the wet goods to his customers on his route as promptly as possible. Oftentimes he will speak to his team to get up, while he may yet be several feet away. | Although this may or not have happened with the driver of the team, in the case of young Gawne Nevertheless it is up to drivers oi Imaterwagons, as well as other drivers to strictly attend to their teams when in motion upon the streets within the City limits. Transfer men, nor any other driver has an, more special privileges on the stree than any other citizen is entitled to It is also the duty of all parent to caution their children to be ex traordinary careful, these days o slippery sidewalks, and streets. We feel assured that the parent of the unfortunate youngster, d not blame the driver for wilful neg Iligence. Sometimes a little unin tentional carelessness will result il serious accident.
 We also know that the driver O the team, feels almost as bad abou it as the parents of the child do. So it behooves us all to try am prevent a similar occurance in tn future.
