HERE IS new IDEA
Woman's View of What Mascu-
line Dress Should Be.
Possibility That the War viii Bring
About Such a Transformation as
She Seems to Think Would
Be Desirable.

The war has brought many changes
in the world, and it is certainly hoped
that mere man will now take tum-
bic and let the uniform of the soldier
suggest to him a new mode of dress.
We see daily the trim figures of "our
boys" with the neat-fitting uniform
coat, baggy trousers to the knee and
the leggings that so well set off the
leg.
Mans present dress is always mat
ter of ridicule, is unsightly and should
be changed to something more sensi-
BILE and economical.
Let us build for Mr.. Man a new
kind of suit, woman writes to the
editor of the New York World At
first he will howl and say no, but if
women will persevere and say yoH
must, he win, and In the end be hap
py.
First, his figure. The abdominal
belt is mans only excuse for the cor
set. He wants 1t and he needs it far
more than woman, and If only for sup
port alone Put him into regular
womans corset of waistline height
and long hip and reduce that ugly
stomach several inches.
! He will not look foppish, but will
have that military cut we all admire.
i He will naturally feel I'll at ease and
4 compressed for a few days, but that
will disappear and feeling of real
/ living will follow, for his lungs will
expand, the muscles be tightly sup
ported and vim replace langour. The
corset was originally worn by men,
so let us put them back into their own
garment. Women are on the average
far healthier than men, and they are
| daily incased in q corset.
Now we have figure to work on
Next, put him back into knee pants
and long stockings. Is anything more
becoming than the knickers of ole
days?
Think of the cloth saved and thai
ugly bag in his long trousers forever
eliminated. Then the coat tailored t.
curve to his hgnra- lanels thing E.

Quick Results.
Follow Forming Of Union In
Iowa City.

Sioux City, Iowa, The employees
of the Philip Bernard company, man
ufacturers of farmers supplies, de-
termined to form a union, realizing
that they would be better able to take
care Of their intefests by so doing
As soon as the manager of the firm
learned that such action had been
taken he posted notice forbidding
and disappearing it, he called on all
those who had participated to sever
their membership That order was
resented and a strike followed A
meeting of the stockholders was hur-
riedly called and the purpose Of the
union was made clear to them. They
disapproved the action of the man
ager and the new union was recogniz-
ed, but not before all the employees Of
the company had joined. Disputed
points having been amicably adjusted
all returned to work

Coats to be cut shorter and vests
done away with entirely. Think of
the saving Of cloth in the suit alone.
Even his shirts, while in effect the
same as now worn, could be shorten
ed as In a woman's shirtwaist, and of
far less material, so as to conform to
a narrower figure. Make a change in
his shoes and go back to the old CO
lonial type of narrower lines and
higher heel. What is prettier than
the old colonial shoe and buckle?
Prevailing cloths would make up
becomingly for business and street
wear, but the possibilities for evening
dress are unlimited. His evening
clothes are hideous Silken breeches,
flowing waists, etc, lend untold posi-
bilities at dinner or function.
And the comforts on a hot summer
day. Let him have several pairs Of
white duck knickers and an array of
shirts. White pumps and stockings to
match, and thousands of yards of wool
saved. And far better dressed man
in the bargain.
Every man down in his heart wishes
he could change to something more be-
coming and With greater possibilities
of variety And every man who reads
this will fervently hope that someone
will start the ball rolling, for he has
not the nerve himself to captain the
movement.
Nine out OF ten will quickly fall into
line and dress accordingly and feel
happy to think that someone started
a dress reform.

English Meat CARDS.

Meat can be purchased in metropol-
itan districts in England only under
the card system, which is to be extend
ed throughout the United Kingdom.
The childs meat card Is for children
under ten years of age, who are enti-
tied to only half as much meat as
adults.
Horse meat, bones, suet and offal
are included among the products for
the purchase of which cards are neces-
sary. No one is exempt; even the roy
al family is on a meat-card basis. The
rigidity of control may be judged from
the fact that forgery of cards is pun
ishable by heavy fine and that in case
of death, the card must be surrender.

Women Cooperating With
Employment Service,
National Organizations, Representing Mem
bership Of Millions, IndOrse Work
Of Department of Labor.

One great force making for an ac-
tive public opinion in favor of after
the-war development of industrial
guidance and placement for women is
the action taken by large organiza-
tions of women in support of the
United States Employment Service.
The Council of National Defense,
represented by over $4,000 local or
ganizations, through Miss Hannah j.
Patterson, associate director of the
field division, which directs all State
work, has written:
"To State Division Chairman of
Woman's Committee Council of Ma
tional Defense:
THE aim of the u. S. Employment
Service is the greatest possible use
fulness to both employers and work
ers, and both should be encouraged to
avail themselves of its services. An
immediate task undertaken by the
Division for women's work of the u.
S. Employment Service is the securing
for women who patriotically respond
ed to the calls for the Federal Agen-
cies for war work is Washington, suit
able positions in the States from which
they came. Will you suggest that the
chairman of the State Division of the
Women's Committee get in touch
with the Federal Director for women's
work in each State and render them
all possible assistance"
The National League for Woman's S
Service, through its president, Maude
Wetmore, advises all State chairmen
of that organization:
Possibilities of cooperation be
tween the League and the Employment
Service have increased. Will you get
in touch with your Federal director
of the U. s. Employment Service at
once and offer to him and to the wo-
man assistant director the co-opera-
tion of the League? The U. S. En-
ployment Service stands for service
to the employer, service to the worker.
viii you make use of this service and
encourage its use wherever and how
ever possible by employer and en-
ployee?"
The National Consumers League,
of which Secretary Newton D, Baker
is president representing the first
national woman's organization which
has held a convention since the ann
istice was signed, passed a recommen-
dation strongly endorsing the United
States Employment Service and pied
ged itself to ask Congress for special
appropriation for the furtherance of
the work for women by the Employ
ment Service.
The National Council of Women
with it's affiliated organizations, rep
resenting 100000 women, through
it's president, Mrs Phillip n Moore, is
issuing letter to its constituent or
ganizatios asking active cooperation
nationally and in their respective
States where they are organized with
the United States Employment Ser
vice. Other organizations which are
concerned with industrial, agricultural
or similar phases of the whole subject
of women's employment have pledged
cooperation. The total force of pub
lie opinion controlled by members OF
these organizations is very great,
In October alone the women's sec

ton of the Employment Service made
over $4,000 placements, which is an
indication of its present scope. With
the support of these organizations the
officials of the Employment Service
believe that it may be made increas-
inglyuseful in the future development
in the women in industry movement.
