A Chic Design in Challis

skirts are becoming shorter. This change we may easily hold Paris re- sponsible for. During the craze for the long skirt here, Paris slowly shook her head in disapproval, and now we are feeling the effects of her negative mien. Street dresses, suits, evening gowns, every skirt is becoming much shorter. This will be a welcomed style, for the discomfort of the long, tight skirt will be eliminated. The shorter length makes the skirt less cumbersome about the ankle, thus af- fording more freedom in walking. Any freedom in walking means grace of carriage, so we herald the mode with a sigh of content.
 The same attitude that Paris took toward the long skirt has been law ished on the straw hat. Though New York is overrun with hats of straw, reports from Paris say that in the res taurants and on the street one sees little if any hats of straw. The French women realize the folly of rushing the seasons and are clinging to their hats which are developed in fabrics. Of these satin seems to be the most pre- dominate material used, and usually one finds ostrich trimming present. If a touch of Spring is desired, the hats are graced with coquettish little flow CTS in pastel shades.
 Old-Time Challis
 , A myriad of designs are offered in the fetching challis creations that promise to be an essential part of the summer wardrobe. This soft woolen material makes up in the prettiest of designs. If the challis is of plain color, then one deftly embroiders it in silk or wool of contrasting color. If it possesses pretty dots or delicate stripes then one adds collar of sheer

$I5O,OOO,OOO AUTO TAX
 PAID TO GOVERNMENT

In 1918 automobile manufacturers paid a total of $33,OOO,00O in taxes to the federal government. In the same period car owners paid $50,000,000 in motor registration fees to the states. Total automobile taxes including the personal property, excise, local charges, etc, for the year are esti- mated at $150,O00,0OO. The charges will reach $2O0,000 TO in 1919. All of these are paid r owners in the last analysis, making total charge of $25 per car for 1918.

EXAMINATION OF AUTO TOPS
Especial Care Should Be Exercised In Purchase of Used car-Deal-
 ere Arc Tricky.

When one is buying a used car he should be particular In his examina- don of the top and curtains. Sharp dealers have a trick of blacking over seedy top and curtains, SO that at casual inspection they look well enough. but when the first rain comes they leak like so many sieves. \ By the same token look well to the tires on a used car. The gyps have meth- ,ds of whitewashing the tires so that they look well for the time being, but give little service afterward.

Against this it should be noted that of the 2,500,000 miles of highways in the United States, but 6,250 miles are equal to the demands of heavy duty traffic and this mileage is made up of loose, unconnected links.
 It would appear from this that the needs of the car owner have not been considered in highway construction, yet his taxes amount to a sum equal to more than half of the total road expenditures in the United States for any single year. Evidently national policy is needed.

Orders for new airplanes soon will be placed by the War Department to prevent the collapse of the airplane manufacturing capacity built up in the war. The machines to be ordered will be of advanced types developed from war experience and designed by engi- neers working under conditions more favorable than those existing in the war.
 Acting Secretary Cowell disclosed the departments plans in this respect in explaining that it had been decided to abandon Barron, Call, Caruthers Love, Rich and Taliaferro fields, in Texas; Payne field, Miss; Gerstner field, La.; Taylor field, Ala; and Eb- erts field, Ark.

FORGET CRANK? THEN
 JACK UP THE WHEEL

When the electric starting system refuses to start and the crank has been left at home in the garage, the motor ist still has methods of getting the car going. The best way, perhaps, is to jack up one of the rear wheels and turn it by hand, with the clutch en- gagged and high gear shifted in. The spark should be retarded and only a small throttle opening allowed. Be- fore removing the jack, the gears should be shifted to neutral again.

While The Coconino Sun is not much given to premiums and contest" stunts at any time, the first pictorial re- views, pictures and maps of the great war are of interest to returning soldiers, their rel atives and friends, and for that reason we have picked out a most interesting compilation of "recent events" which we be- lieve will be of great interest to most people. We only have a limited supply of them, and every new subscriber for a year gets one free. They are worth the money-and more. See them.

washington, d. C.-In general way
It. is known that during the war
method was found TO communicates
with submerged submarine from
shore or sea. How this is done and
how II came to be discovered that 1t
could be done not until now has been
made public. Like a good many other
revelations it came when the research
ers were at work on another problem.
The scientists of the radio section
of the bureau of standards stumbled
on its secret and the lucky ones to SuS-
peet 1t were two young assistants not
long out of high school. Their expert
ments and the development of what is
known as the "loop aerial" for snhma-
rine radio communication by the bu-
reau resulted in device so simple
and perfect, and producing such Won
derful results. that the navy has
adopted 1t and is equipping all its UNI
dersea craft with this style of loop.
In the fall of 1917 n series of expert
ments was undertaken 10y the bureau
to develop an apparatus for the dctcc-
tiOn of enemy submersibles. J. A. VIII
1oughby and =. d. Lowell were en-
gagged in the work. They had notion
that closed or rubber encased coil
of wire offered the best chances for
success. They made one ana threw
1t one night into a tank of fresh water
on the grounds of the bureau near
Chevy Chase, Md, suburb OF Wash
ingfon. To their delight they received
a signal from the big radio station at
Arlington. The next night they sub
theiPotomac near the new navy build
Ing. Again the signal came with no
difference in strength whether the loon
or coil was suspended in air or sunk in
the river.
Discovery Significant.
The significance of this discovery
struck both young men. Here was a
way possibly to detect the presence of
enemy submarines, but surely to talk
with our own, which was equally i'm
portant, had been thought impossible.
This was in November.
Tn December improvements in the
submerged coil brought the reception
of signals from Lyons, France; Paris
and San Diego, Cal. Fly March last

of 400 meters by $4,000 meters

are more fashionable than ever; they

veil Is more in favor than ever, espe-

this week is very novel and original

correspondent of the Boston Globe.
This robe, intended for afternoon
wear, is typical Of present-day styles.
1t possesses all the elements that go to
make up successful toilette of this
wonderful year.
In the first place the general outline
of the little gown rather suggests an
evening costume. The neck Is cut
round, in generous fashion, and the
+ sleeves are very short and transparent,
yet this is the kind of dress that is
worn at the big race meetings and at
all outdoor festivities, accompanied
by a big picture hat and-more prob
ably than not-by short gauntlet
gloves. 1t is, in fact, q genuine 1919
model.
The material of this costume is
black and white fouldrd-large white

suggestion of pannier draperles at the
sides, and at the hem the supple ma
tcrial is SO cleverely arranged that 1t
gives something of the Turkish trouser

Strikinsly Original Costume.
The neck was cut round, almost like
the Redfern model, but the sleeves
were even shorter. Very long pale
gray suede gloves were worn and an
immense pale gray felt hat, lined with
black chip and trimmed with cluster
of black satin water lilies. 1t was ar
amazingly original costume, taking II
altogether.
Nearly all the best race gowns OF
this season have closely resembled eve
ming dresses, that is to say, they have
had decollete necks, short sleeves and
fllmy draperies. 1t Is not nj all easy
to distinguish between day and eve
