This ordinarily pleasing young per
son is shown in a costume that rather
startled all behOlders. There have
been many military fashions. but not
one of them ever came near this FOR a
militaristic appearance. This feminine
piece of apparel is patterned in many
ways after the uniform. The coat Is
more full, and the collar has long
points, which are practically the only
differences. Swinging from the Shout
ders is a military cape that adds to the
STYLE of the costume. The skirt Is
tight-fitting. so tight that when the
wearer walks, 1t greatly resembles
trousers. The hat is built on Royal
flying corps lines. The outfit is ex-
tremely natty, and will make a soldier
girl of any wearer.

OIL is BIG FACTOR
Asset That Makes America I'M
portant as War Power.
As Valuable to Cause Of Allies as
American Men, Money and
Munitions.

Washington.-If Americas men,
money and munitions did not consti-
tute q vital asset in the cause of the
allies against Germany, America would
still be a friend in need. If she could
not provide ships or steel, she would
still constitute a pillar of strength.
The reason? Oil.
America produces more oil than all
the rest of the world. And ships, en-
gines, autos, and many other war fac
tors are using oil as a motive force.
Oil is needed as lubricant for all the
metals used in the prosecution of war.
Its uses are so varied and so vital.
indeed, that oil constitutes another Of
those commodities without which the
war could not be won.
