SMALLPOX AT CARBONDALE

About ten days ago it was reported
that several cases of smallpox had de-
veloped in the Missouri Heights coun-
try, and DR.. Clark, county physician,
WAS delegated by Eagle county. the
majority of the cases being in that
county, to make an investigation.
Accompanied by DR.. Tubbs of Car
b0ndale, DR.. Clark visited the infected
section and found the reports all too
true.
Regardless of the usual dread of
this disagreeablc disease, the doctors
found that those suffering from it were
treating the matter lightly, some of
them moving about their ranches and
pursuing their usual avocations just as
though there was nothing at all out IF
the ordinary.
The medical men did not hesitate to
pronounce the cases smallpox and
schools We're ordered closed and public
meetings forbidden. At Carbonda!e
several cases have developed and the
schools, churches and picture show
have been closed in that town.

of the husbands around here he
thought some women hadn't been any
too particular in their choice even as it
is.
Two prophecies were made in closing:
First, "That we will come out of this
conflict with greater national con-
seriousness and feeling.'' The fact was
pointed out that American citizens
have been proud of their cities and
that some of us have state pride, but
that most of us until recently didn t
know enough to stand up when the
national anthem was played and that
even yet there had never been an Amer
lean audience that could sing the "Star
Spangled Banner" but boys from Maine
and Floriad, New York and osssan
will fight side by side in the trenches
and in this and other ways too numer-
GUS to mention a national patriotism is
evolving.
The second of these prophecies was
that we will be brought closer together
in this country. The great banking
concerns, big newspapers, wealthy mer-
chants and professional men are giving
the best that is in them, free of charge,
to the service of the country. The cap
italists and the laborer are marching
side by side in the ranks. The chasm
between capital and labor will be
bridged. One private at Camp Funston
resigned a position at $4,000 a year to
carry rifle in the service of Uncle
Sam. There will be better under
standing brought about among all
classes and we will emerge from the
conflict stronger and purer than at its
beginning.
Lieutenant Nance closed his remark
able address with glowing tribute to
the splendid conservation of the people
of France to the great cause in which
we are fighting and urged upon all
good American citizens the adoption of
this same high ideal

It were not still possible to get fresh

dried beans ought to be regarded in
the light OF n meat substitute rather
than as a green vegetable substitute.
Beans contain lot Of protein, or body

One reason why beans are not used

T T is the hour to talk OF colors and
fabrics. We have been given a
i comprehensive outline OF what to
expect in the new fashions, and We
have made up our minds to accept or
reject as We choose.
Ihe details OF autumn clothes have
been digested by us. The long skirt
the continuance of sashes, the growing
importance OF collars and cuffs and
the rel!nquishing of the attempt 10
make stiff high collars fashionable
have filled us with the assurance that
we know enough to make a start.
Women are divided in opinion as to
the wisdom Of introducing a long skirt
They also question the extreme decol-
letage that has been adopted for the
day time hours. They protest vio-
lently against the effort to continue
short sleeves. They insist that war
activities are hampered by long skirts:
! that deep decolletage does not look
businesslike and that short sleeves
are an absurd fashion when one must
pay So for a two button glove and
far more for one that wrinkles to the
elbow.
Absurdity OF short Sleeves.
To the onlooker it does seem absurd
to bring about such things as short
sleeves when there is a scarcity of
gloves and a long skirt at time Of
the most intense activity among
women; but the comfortable assurance
is that no woman need choose these
fashions unless she so wishes.
Once upon a time there were arbiters
Of style. All women ran after a bell
wether. Certain women advanced
certain fashions created by certain
designers in Paris. The American
shops ordered the clothes that had
been successfully worn by these GER
tain women; they were given out in
mass to the American woman, and she
bought them at any price between SIS
and $500.
The war caused q decentralization
Of style. Designers created. shops Of
fered; women bought according to
their purses.
Discussion does not stop at the de-
tails OF the silhouette or at the incom-
Ing and outgoing Of certain selected
fashions; 1t shuttles to and fro
through the web Of women about the
selection OF colors for the autumn and
winter.
Based on Higher Reasons.
Philosophy. psychology. history. of
wars and peoples at war enter into
these arguments. All discussion Of
this epoch Is based on higher and moro
complex reasons than personal likes
and dislikes. and the rejection or ac-
ceptance Of certain fashions in wo-
mems apparel gets into this CONVEX
sational environment. as quickly as
any other patriotic movement.
At the moment the discussion con-
corning colors is whether or not they
should be worn for tho duration Of
the war. Something marvellous has
happened to the dye system OF this
country, SO that women do not have
to base their choice Of colors on what
they can get. Limitations and re-
strictions are to large extent re-
moved.
We seem to have mastered the art
OF dyeing in three years with more
skin than the psssimists believed was
possible 1t was - this soak thse
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-09-15

tivities seem to demand the shortest
skirt we have ever worn.
Another feature of apparel, upon
which there is such general unifica-
ton OF spirit, is the introduction in
America of a type Of gown that many
Americans like. 1t Is for the evening
and has a high collar and absolutely
no sleeves. This is a revival Of an old
historical fashion which was exploited
in this country over a quarter Of a
century ago.
The same model worn then Is re-
stored now from the family album
1t is a princess cut, with a train, a
high ruche at the neck, after the
Medici or the Elizabethan manner, and
merely tight ornamental armholes
No gloves are to be worn with this
gown; It is intended to show the arm
at it's best.
France persists in the use of black
and white checkerboard fabrics fol
