Experienced flying officers are being
returned from abroad to act as special
instructors in the more advanced cours-
es of aviation training which is being
developed by the air service.
Recent practice in elemental train
ing now gives the candidate more time
in the air with his instructor than here
tofore. The new plan is known as the
Gosport system or "All Thru" as it
is popularity called here, and insures
closer contact between the cadet and
instructor. When the cadets arrive at
flying field from the ground school,
where they have learned much of the
theory of flight, engine control and re-
pair, radio, signaling and other kindred
subjects, several of them are assigned
to an instructor who stays with them
until they are qualified in elemental
flying. They are then sent to the spe-
cial schools for final work and train
ing in their particular line as pursuit,
reconnaissance, artillery control, or
bombing pilots. The old practice of
giving cadet so much time in the air
under instruction and then turning him
loose for his first solo flight, in 'sink
Or swim" fashion, Is being discontinued,
and what is believed to be more safe
and sane system is being adopted.
Organization of forty air squadrons
has been authorized -Four will be To-
Gated at Houston, Tex, and SO, or a
training brigade of three wings, on
Long Island, N. Y.
The base of this Long Island train
ing brigade, as now planned, will be
Hazelhurst field, near Mineola. The
squadrons will be quartered in groups
OF foue ~ nine outlying fields. These
sQuadr>ns are to serve under field con-
ditions Stimulating, as nearly as prac
ticable, the conditions behind the lines
In France.

Manufacturers of suits assure us that
no supply of wool beyond that they
have already secured is in sight, and
it follows that our spring clothes are
likely to be made of some other sort
of material. Already a variety of
new materials is on the shelves of the
stores and in the stock rooms of the
factories. Whoever needs wool suit
would best buy it early in the season
before the supply runs out. 1t may
have to do service for the next three
years; but it is easy to put up with
this state of things. If all the wool is
needed for the ever-increasing army,
women will do without it.
There are on hand just now suits
and coats for fall in good wool mate
rails and in many graceful styles. One
of them is shown above in a practical
and plain model that will prove good
Investment. 1t will be noticed that
the skirt is longer than for several
seasons This is an echo of French
styles, which may or may not be ac-
copied in America. American wom-
en- like the cleanliness of shorter
skirts and they also like their most
businesslike style and may insist that,
in street suits at least, the mandate
for longer skirts be diSobeyed.

Those very handsome separate
skirts that came in along with rich,
new fabrics for summer set a pace
for elegance and style that is not
easy to keep up with. But the sep
arate skirts for fall measure up to
their standard, which is saying more
for these heavier skirts than could
ever be said before.
Many of the new skirts are made Of
cloths woven especially for them.
These goods are plain, with borders
in wide or narrow bands in contrasting
colors, or patterned with wide bands
in alternating colors over all their sur
face, or bordered with cross-bar bands,
or perfectly plain. Now that the looms
are busted with the affair of the sop
arate skirt we may expect revelations
In fine designing. In all the new mod
els pockets, large buttons and novel
girdles-nearly always wide-are style
features on which designers have CEN
tered attention.
In wool goods for plain skirts, jer-
sey cloth remains a favorite and in
silk poplin is not outrivaled as yet,
The daily morning oasis., 1918-09-27

although tricot may soon take the
lead. The skirt shown in the picture
is an example Of good designing in a
separate skirt since it is modish and
good looking. 1t is Of rose-colored
wool jersey with slit pockets on each
side, finished at their edges with dou-
BILE rows of machine stitching. The
skirt is gathered with little fullness
at the front and more at the sides and
back, to a moderately wide waistband.
1t fastens at the left side where the
wide tab extending from the top Of the
girdle is fastened down with a snap
fastener.
The daily morning oasis., 1918-09-27

The suit pictured is Of Himalaya
cloth with large revers and an over
collar of plush. The coat has plain
body with skirt pointed at each side
and plated on. 1t is bound with silk
braid. A narrow belt wraps stwice
about the waist, once following the
high waistline In the body and again
about the top of the coat skirt. 1t
is also trimmed with silk braid.
Uneven length in coats makes grace
full suits, but this style feature passed
the zenith of its popularity during the
spring and summer. Coats in nearly
all the new suits are cut straight
around the bottom, are moderately
long, and many of them have large
pockets. Convertible collars are meet
ing with such favor that we are sure
of this comfortable and chic neck fin
ishings for the coming fall and win
ter at least.
In colors brown, biege and blue
have the lead, with all shades of brown
in strong demand. But one cannot
make mistake in choosing any one
of them.

Captured American army and navy
officers are reaching German prison
camps without clothing and shoes. The
American Red Cross has established a
tailor shop in Berne to supply them
with proper uniforms, according to in.
formation just reaching the bureau Of
prisoners relief.
The officers, it seems, in being hus
tied back from the front by their cap.
tors lose their overcoats, blouses and
even trousers. Frequently their leath-
er shoes, which are greatly coveted by
the Germans, are taken from them, and
they are forced to wear wooden shoes.
The clothing of others is so damaged
in strenuous fighting as to need re-
placement.
To outfit the forty commits. stoned
Americans known to be in the German
camps and others who may be captured
later, the Red Cross purchased tail
or shop in Paris and moved tailors and
outfit outright to Switzerland. This
shop is now turning out each week IL

piled by mail by the various prisoners
liz the various camps. The men are
supplied also with underclothing, shoes,
toilet articles, towels and food. The
food is particularly necessary to sup
plement the meager prison fare for
which the Germans make the captured
officers pay in money.
The stripping of prisoners apparent
ly takes place only at the front in the
heat and confusion of battle. Camp
committees, appointed by the prisoners
themselves, see that American prison
ers receive supplies sent them.

Information received by the chill
dren's bureau Of the department Of
labor seems to indicate that every
where In the United States children
are receiving less milk than they
should have. Such decreases are un-
doubtedly due In part to the high cost
of milk. It Is the poorest families
that have been forced to make the
greatest reduction In the amount of
milk purchased. But that reduction
would perhaps not be so great, the
children's bureau says, If all mothers
fully realized the value of food in the
diet OF their children.
Milk has been called the perfect
food" Authorities agree that it sup
plies the elements necessary to the
growing child In the most digestible
form. In spite Of it's increasing cost,
ii supplies those elements also in the
cheapest form. It Is estimated that,
on the basis Of its nutritive value,
milk compared with steak at 40 cents
pound, and eggs at 48 cents dozen,
should be priced at about 271a cents
quart.
Workers for Children's Year, to
whom the weighing and measuring
test for children under five years of
age has revealed how many children
In the United States are undeveloped
as result Of improper diet, are en-
gagged in campaigns to bring the i'm
portance Of milk to the attention Of
mothers and to make 1t possible for
them to procure enough milk to keen
their children strong and well. Many
| milk stations where mothers may re-
ceive pure silk at a nominal cost, or
free, if they cannot afford to pay for
| it, have been established In connec-
| ton with children's year work, and
public measures for ensuring a pure
and adequate milk supply have been
undertaken in many communities.
Among these measures are the estab-
lishment of pasturizatiOn plants, the
inspection of the milk supply, and the
passing Of regulations controlling dis
tribution.
The total value of all imports into
the United Kingdom during the
first six months of 1918 were $3,173,-
