Until something in textiles more
beautiful and more becoming than
crepe georgette and crepe-de-chine, is
invented, we may expect them to re-
main the theme of the story of blouSes.
The delicacy of georgette and the
suppleness and sheen of crepe-de-chine
are unrivaled and with this they arc
as durable as heavier fabrics. No
blouses wear better or wash and clean
so easily. The new blouses for fall
and winter are still Of these lovely
crepes-they are still silk and bead
embroidered, but there are few new
style notes that place them as belong
Ing to this particular season.
Among these are new methods Of
shaping and finishing neck openings,
the use of batiste for collars, cuffs.
vestees and frills. The introduction
Of two contrasting colors in georgette
Is an idea carried over from last sea-
ron. 1t was too good to be discard
ed and appears In the tl:use pictured
with an emplacement of old blue crepe
over fiesh-colored body on a blouse

frill about the neck Is Of batiste and

FEDERAL TRADE COMM SSlON
 ASSAlLED IN THE SENATE

Washington. Sept. .5.-The Federal Trade Commission was sharply as sailed and vigorously defended in the senate today for its recent report to President Wilson. recommending that the government take over control of the packing industry so as to break up what it termed q monopoly of the meat business in this and other coun- tries and to prevent alleged profiteer- ing.
 The debate. in which Senators Sher- man, of Illinois. and Shoot of Utah, led the attack on the commission was precipitated by introduction by Sena- tor Gore, of Oklahoma, of an amend n2ent to the emergency agricultural appropriation bill carrying out in the main the commissions recommenda- tons. The amendment later was withdrawn when it was apparent that consideration of it would further de- lay passage of the bill
 Senator Sherman declared the com mission to be a self constituted prog | ecuting agency made up Of "business l failures while Senator Smoot of | Utah charged that the commission from thA beginning has been a politi- cal org6SeRAAion and had been used as "steW3&F 3'tone" to campaign fol ] office

CONTRACT BETWEEN THE
 GOVERNMENT AND RAILROADS

Washington, Sept. 5.-Terms of the standard contract between the gov ernment and railroads, made public today by Director General McAdoo after months Of negotiation with com pany representatives. show that most contentious of the Association of Railway Security holders have been denied. These included the claim that railroad companies should be given the right to litigate in court after the war fo. losses on account of diversion of business and to appeal to courts from decisions of the Interstate Com merce Commission, acting as referee in disputes over administrative ques- tions.
 The contract now will be offered to all roads under federal control. and it is believed that most of the leading | roads will sign it.
 1 In a statement explaining the con- i tract, the director general expressed 1 the opinion that if railroads had been under private control during the first months this year they would have lost i $136, coo in operating income as | compared with the corresponding pe- riod of th6 preceding year and $96,- 1 O64 900 as compared with the average 1 for those months of 1915. 1916 and | 1917. These conditions, together with the necessity railroads would have fac ed for raising wages, and the difficult | ty of borrowing money, said MT. Me

EFFECTS OF BRITISH
 SUCCESS APPARENT

With the British Army in France, Sept. ,, 4 p. m.-(By The Associated Press). The effects of the British successes are becoming more appar- ent hourly. The enemy is steadily, but surely, going back. Successive minor victories in Flanders, the ap- plication of sustained pressure in the battle zone south of the Scarpe. the exploitation of the advances north of Peronne and the, steady hombardment from the British cannon are all help ing the German movement
 The foes retirement is being marked by the usual destruction, for fires and explosions are reported from various sections, especially the area in front of the Hindenburg line from the Ba- paume -Cambrai line southward, where the torch seems to have been freely used.
 It looks as if the Germans here were going behind the line, with it's great system of concrete dugouts and de- fences. They are not in the habit of destroying where they mean to stay and, besides, the crushing defeat they | suffered when the Drocourt- -Queant 1 line was smashed makes this ground exceedingly difficult, if not dangerous to hold.

Big Slump in New
 York Cotton Market
Caused By Fear of Fixing of Prices By War Industries Board.

New York. Sept. 5-The New York cotton market was thrown into a state bordering demoralization today by the announcement that the War Industries Board planned the stabili zation of cotton prices. There was tremendously heavy selling at the opening but in the afternoon prices slumped still further, carrying Oc- tober down $22:25 a bale under the high level of Tuesday. That option was quoted at 32.S0 or 222 points net lower. Offerings then tapered. off. however, and there were rallies of S7 to 105 points on covering and buying which came partly from foreign trade interests, but the improvement was not fully maintained. later fluctuations being nervous and irregular.
 In the final trading, however. rallies occurred, with the close showing net declines of 110 to 123 points. October S last price was 33.75 Or $1750 a bale ! under Tuesdays high.
