FAN USED
TO KEEP HOME HOT

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 19.--An cleo
trio fan is being employed by Presi-
dent Dustin, of the Put-in-Bay steam
er line. to keep his office warm these
cool fall days.
. Last winter Mr.. Dustin found that
the office was uncomfortably cool. al
though there was a good fire. and he
set out to discover where the heat
went to. He found that the air in the
room at the ceiling was 80 degrees
warmer than the air four feet from
the floor.
As an experiment Mr.. Dustin set an
electric fan on the floor and directed
the current OF air toward the ceiling
After the fan was in operation for a
short time he found by consulting his
thermometers at the floor and at the
ceiling that the temperature OF the
room was practically the same
throughout, and that he was getting
the full benefit Of the fuel consumed
/ Mr.. Dustin has equipped all the large
rooms in his residence with an cleo

SKIRTS TO BE WORN
SHORTER AND TIGHTER

Time was when milady was wont
to get her ideas of dress from Gay
Paree, but ever since they have been
wearing them higher in Hawaii, ev-
erybody has had an eye on Honolulu
Now they're wearing them higher in
Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska-and ac-
cording to a buyer for one of Audu-
bon's largest dry goods stores, who
has just returned from New York,
and other eastern parts of trade, the
shrinkage tends to continue.
Skirts and gowns are much, much
shorter this fall-but they'll look
longer-not the dresses, but the
genus vulgaris male. The reason
for the shortage is to conserve cloth
owing to the scarcity of wool and
silk.
Reports from the west say there is
hardly enough wool to go around, to
say nothing of up and down The
silk worms have gone on siX-hour
day, SO gowns are higher.
To the dansante and dinner gowns
this fall the puff sleeve will be add
ed-the only addition recorded in the
world of clothes. But they'll sew
a couple of inches off the skirt, to
make good the loss, and in addition
will shorten everything else but the
price. The puff sleeves bid fair to
become an epidemic for afternoon
dresses and even serge and tricotine
frocks will have 'em. Women's ap-
parel most assuredly is going to be
tighter, narrower, shorter, and high
er in price than ever before.

it appears that we have hospitals all
over the country that are only partly
filled, but the secretary of the treas
ury is going on buying more land for
hospitals and making preparations to
construct more buildings.
Much has been said oil the reduc-
tons that would be made by budg-
ct system on its estimates, as many
of the plans provide the result will be
that our expenses will be greatly in
creased, instead of being reduced. II
is evident some other plan for budg-
ct must be devised.
Shortly after we got into the war,
at the time the first bond bill was
before the house the writer offered
an amendment providing for joint
committee On expenditures. This
amendment failed, although a SINH
lar amendment was adopted in the
senate, for the reason that the pres
ident was determined that it should
not be adopted, and used all the in,
fuence he could bring to bear to
prevent it; yet is is now generally
conceded that if it had been adopted
it would have saved the government
more than a billion dollars, and a
Democratic senator recently remark
ed in the senate, that it would have
prevented the waste of money such
as occurred in the camp at Benning.
The new investigating committees,
that have recently been created since
the Republicans have come into pow
err, will take the place OF this
committee. So far as the money
already spent is concerned it is OF
course, a case of docking the dooI
after the horse is stolen" but
these committees will serve a very
useful purpose by the exposure of
the past transactions and will. not

administration has done, but viii en-

will do if continued in power.
