COLLEGE SEND OUT TRAINED
DRESSMAKER TO HOUSEWIVES

Home dressmaking taught by
trained dressmakers acting under
the direction of the State College of
Washington extension service has
become prominent in the state OF
Washington in recent months, and az
the present time many hundreds of
women who in former years en-
ployed dressmakers or bought ready
to-wear garments, now are doing
their own sewing.
The method followed by the
HON demonstrators" so-called. who
teach dressmaking in the homes. is
to go from county to county and
from community TO community with
in the counties, and meet housewives
singly and in groups, often in their
own homes, for these dressmaking
demonstrations.
AS much simplicity and economy
IS is compatible with good taste is
urged by the teachers and home
dressmaking. Garments for both
home and social wear are included.

Staunton. Va, Aug. 1S.-~News re-

movement on foot to enlarge and re-
model the Old Stone church at Fort

imperative that something be done
to accommodate the growing activities
of the church.
The Old Augusta church is the
parent Presbyterian church in the
Valley and one OF the oldest churches
in the state. Its organization was eff
fected before Augusta became a

RITTER HELD FOR
ASSAULT TO KILL

Winchester, Aug. 1S.-Eugene W.
Ritter. former justice of the peace
of Frederick county and A resident
of near Welltown. this county, was
arrested late on Saturday night by
Policeman Ben Armel. after Ritter
Is alleged to have tried to kin the
officer by swapping a loaded revolver
In his face.
Only the quick wit of the policeman
saved his life, AS Ritter pulled the
trigger, Arnel grasped the weapon.
and the hammer snapped upon the
middle finger OF his left hand, in
ficting two painful flesh ahrasions.
The officer was then obliged to use
force in subduing Ritter. and he was
landed in Jail without further trou-
BILE.
Policeman Armel and Dove got
word that Ritter was drunk and
threatening passers-by on the street.
When they reached the spot, they
found Ritter seated in a buggy and
fiourishing revolver. He stated that
the officers could not take him. but
Armcl wrested the revolver from Rit-
ter's grasp and placed him under
arrest
The officer did not realize that Rit-
ter had another revolver in his pocket
put "HeH " aver ana Market streets
were reached, on the way to the pail.
Ritter suddenly pulled another pistol
from his pocket and aiming it at the
officers head started to pull the trig-
gerger. Armel grabbed Ritter's hand
and in the struggle the hammer went
down on the poiiceman's fingers.
In police court it developed that
Ritter was not Intoxicated. as had
been claimed: hence. this charge was
not entertained against him. He
pleaded guilty to carrying concealed
weapt ms. for which he was fined $50
and costs and the two revolvers, fully
loaded, were confiscated.

SHORTAGE
DECLARED A MYTH

Winchester. Va. Aug. ia resi-
dent OF Winchester. whose business
keeps him in the vicinity Of Norfolk
most OF the time, was at his home
here few days recently says the
Star. and while discussing the ubiquit-
Gus problem. the high cost of living.
he stated that only a short time ago
he saw several large steamers enter
the harbor at Norfolk loaded with
hides from Argentina. The hides were
consigned to leather dealers and shoe
manufacturers in various sections OF
the United States.
He was told that large shipments
OF hides were being made from South
America to this country.
In this connection, a reader OF the
Star sends the following. clipped from
the letter column in the New York
World of recent date:
"A shoemaker charged me $3.50
yesterday to wholesale ana heel a
pair of shoes. This was only 81 less
than / paid for the shoes themselves
in 1915. 1t was but 81 less than what
paid for one of Uncle Sans pairs
of gooding marching shoes at Q. NJ
G. commissary in 1913. The cobbler
said his charge for whole soling and
heeling a pair OF shoes next week
would be S4,25. Our 100000 army
is now nearly demobilized. There
must be millions of pairs of good army
shoes in government storehouses
FThy aren't they put on the market?
While advertisements in foreign
trade papers offer good American
shoes for export at 81 to $3.50 a pair,
we read that this fan the American
public may expect to pay as high as
$40 to $25 a. paid. The shoes and
leather trade is procuring >the publ
cation of news stories about the
shortage of leather to excuse the
threatened advance.
What ] have seen with my own
eyes convinces me that instead OF
hides being scare they are more than
plentiful. Just before | entered the
army early last summer l was asso-
ciate counsel for one OF the. creditors
OF a arm which had Just gone into
bankruptcy. l had to visit large ware
houses In Brooklyn, Manhattan and
Staten Island to verify that 1t held
goods represented by warehouse re-
ceipts which it had pledged as secur-
ity for loans
AL that time ! found these ware
houses literally crammed with hides.
The warehouse men told me they had
so many hides that they had little
room; for anything else They said
many hundred thousand bales of hides
had been buried in the Middle West
because there was no warehouse
space to hold them. One place which
WIS used 10 store hides and which
was all but bursting with them was

The tendency to belittle the weather

formal social gatherings made up Of
people intensely uninterested in each

standby when all other excuses for
conversation refused to serve. 1t was
the weather. But these. like other
