Commodore W. E Longfellow Of
the life savings corps of American
Red Cross, will hold special
examination in life saving under
the auspices of the Rock Island
and Davenport Y. NJ. C. A, next
Tuesday.
The commodore is coming to this
city the first of next week upon a
request of the War Camp Com
munity service, intending to es-
tablish a corps of qualified life saw

become qualified will in turn give
lessons in the swimming pools
here.
In preparation for this special Y
class 10 members of that organi-
zation met last night in the Rock
Island association building, when
they reviewed various phases Of
life saving. These 10 are the men
who have signifled their wish To
become qualified in life saving, and
are thus preparing for the exam
ination. Tonight this group will
go to the Davenport Y, and there
will meet u men from that assC-
citation who have the same aspira
ton, and these will hold a joint
meeting for studying the subject in
question. A meeting Of the groups
will be held Friday night in the
Rock Island building.
Any Man Can Join.
The benefits of belonging to this
preparatory class or of trying out
next Tuesday with or without this
preparation are not only for Y men
nor for any other special class.
The Y. NJ c. A. wishes it gen
orally known that any man over IS
years of age in the tri-cities is
urged to learn the art of life saw
ing and be able to excel in equatic
maneuvers. This is desirable for
his own health and the welfare of
a community like this, situated
close to the water. The part the
plays is merely that of loaning it's

CLOTHING PRICES TO JUMP.
Designers Predict Advance of 100
Per Cent Next Year.

Hor Tent Next lear
prices of mems clothing will he
100 per cent higher next summer
than they are at present" said
Chairman H. Simons of the Amer
lean Clothing Designers associa-
ton at the opening session of the
annual convention of that body
last night at the Hotel Martinique.
There is a 80 per cent shortage
of labor at present in the garment
industry, and designers are endeav-
oring to overcome that handicap
by simplifying mems garmens for
next spring and summer" said Mr..
Simons.
According to the new designs
shown by members last night, lin
ings will be even more guady than
this year. The trend in Innings will
be toward orange, Alice blue, and
other iridescent hues. There will
be less flare to the sack coat next
year, although the length will be
increased by several inches.
The designers present wrere
unanimous in decreeing that coats
will have to be more chesty, due to
the physical development resulting
from the army training of millions
of young men.
The sloping English shoulder
that has been in vogue the last
year also is tabooed on similar
grounds, the new styles shown re-
verting to the former square
shoulder types. No radical changes
are decreed in trousers, although
vests will be cut lower to allow of
a greater display Of loud shirts.
One of the few novelties shown
at the opening session of the con-
vention was a "pickpocket-proof''
pocket 1t is in the form of the
usual patch pocket, which is sewed
on all sides and at the top, TIE
opening being an oblique slit in the
center, or a semi-circular opening
like a woman's purse.
Jazz" clothing, so called be-
cause of it's freakish lines, will CON
tinUe to be the vogue among the
f1apper type of young men, was the
prediction made by J. Caul Nc
Donald, a Boston designer and vice
president of the association.
