FADS And FREAKS
Women Unwilling to Spend Tine
in Pursuing Styles.
What Madame Does Seek for and WuI
Have 10 a Certain Distinction
Of Model.

A study of the lines Of three late
models from Paris leads one to the
conclusion that the most marked vari-
alton from the lines of previous frocks
is the widened effect or bulge of ma
terial below the elbow. 1t may be
quite truthfully said that this charac-
teristic and the easy line at the waist
are the two points most noticeable in
the new frocks of the best makers,
also of the frocks actually worn by the
best dressed women on this side of
the water.
Women are so extremely independ-
ent nowadays, writes a fashion corre-
spondent, that the arbiters of fashion
are finding difficulty in imposing any
one style definitely for a season. While
women are still quite willing to be
well dressed, with all that such an in
elusive term implies, they are not will
ing to spend all their time in chasing
elusive fads and freaks of fashions. A
few slight changes gradually wrought
are oil the dictatOrs can hope for. At
the same time what madame does seek
for and will have is a certain diStinc-
tom of model and a perfection Of
workmanship that lesser mortals can
not hope to attain.
Certain changes in styles are said to
be In the course of construction, but,
In spite of all secrecy, we are fairly
well aware of what we are to expect
and with our new found freedom are
inclined to take the news calmly.
The changes foreshadowed are usu-
ally not so extraordinary after all,
when we come to find out what they
are, for the real changes are the ones
we unconseiously feel ourselves ready
to put into practice.
II the supposed changes really take
place we shall take on the shape Of in
verted pyramids, the widest part at
the top. The woman of good taste,
however, has these lines modified to
a point where they are neither outre
nor disfiguring.
Fortunately the lines proposed are
susceptible of great deal of beauty
If treated with moderation and it must
be admitted great deal of skill. Mar.
row skirts and drapery are not easy,
and wide effects above and about the
waist are not always becoming to the
figure.
Seemingly the coming styles cannot
fail to please most of us, however, for
adaptability and suitability are both
terms which can be applied to them.
Skirts shown in the early spring are
evidently going to be continued
through the season. They may be Ell.
their piquant and saucy or dignified
and stately, according to the wearer
and her tastes. We have from time to
time been hearing about skirts lifted
or pulled up at the front, or just each
side of 1t, but either these skirts did
not appeal or we are to hear from
them later. The skirt lifted up at the
back has taken better with the well.
dressed woman.
The drapery caught at the back mar.
rows the line gracefully at the feet,
and for the young woman, a trifle
shorter at the back it has an air of
quaintness, particularly when. accom-
panied with the peasant apron and
simple blouse.

The hand of the government, with
its FIVE fingers gripping every part OF
the continent has reached out and
touched those women who have made
their living by shutting across the
ocean and bringing back to America
what is wanted from France. The gov
ernment has said that no women shall
have passports unless they are going
to work for the war, and even then
they cannot be Gelf-appointed mission
aries or impulsive emotionalists. They
must be sent for by workers over
there, and they must give guarantee
that the work will be done, and that
in every way they will fulfill their mis-
sion to the best of their ability.
Now we, like France and England,
are to be restricted. 1t seems a pity to
many that women buyers who are will
ing to go to Paris to bring back clothes

Men Having Gray Eyes Have
Proved to Be Best Marksmen

Gray-Oged men, says a Fort Worth
correspondent, are. the best marksmen.
This has been proved after eight
months experience at the rife range
OF Camp Bowie, and besides old army
experts will tell you the same thing.
When Capt. E. r. Breese was here
giving his instruction in the use of the
new rifle he said that proficiency in
craftsmanship usually ran according
to the color of the eyes, men having
gray being the best shots, gray-blue
coming next, blue third, hazel fourth,
brown fifth, and black sixth.
Records show that soldiers whose
eyes are light brown to black cannot
shoot with accuracy at a distance
greater than 500 yards and at 800
yards miss the target altogether.
Even with different nations the
color of the eyes has determined
shooting ability. Nearly every Mex
ican has brown or black eyes and they
well, they are the poorest shots In
the world.

Hats of Navy Blue.

One of the features of the color de-
mand of late in practically all kinds
of merchandise has been The increas-
ing call for navy blue While this color
is always a staple in women's outer
garments, until comparatively recent
time, it was not very much in the run
ming this season where millinery, hos
iery, blouses, ETC., were concerned.
Now, however, navy blue hats are very
much wanted, and bid fair to top the
color demand until warmer weather
hands over the palm to white Navy
hosiery for women, particularly in the
better grades, is also much sought and
none 700 plentiful. Navy blouses dupli-
cate this condition, from all accounts,

are to be forbidden that privilege A
few men buyers will be allowed to go
after the government has thoroughly
searched their reasons for the attempt
and given them a permission that is
hedged about with as many restrictions
as though it were signed by military
governor.
Under the pressure Of these con-
ditions the American buyers think
they will not go to Paris this year, and
the rumor persists that only a very few
of the French houses will show gowns.
Hundreds of New Fashions.
1t may be that under the present
conditions created by our government
and seconded by the French, the news
papers and the fashion illustrators
will become, in the new military term,
liaison officers. They will be able to
interpret from one general to another
speaking different languages.
In the meantime we are all quite
eager about the new American output.
The first touch of it's sanity is shown
in the fact that materials suitable for
our climate have been chosen for the
summer gowns.
Organdie is too well known to be
more than barely mentioned, but the
fact that it has appeared for evening
gowns is a comfort to many who did
not know what to wear when asked to
dinner on hot summer night.
= Another sane thing that the design
ers over here have done which was of
necessity is to launch gowns in the
materials, whether thin or not, and in
the colors, whether vivid or dull, that
can be easily purchased in any part of
this country.
Each season the yardage in Paris
has grown less. Each season the trans
portation has become more difficult
and uncertain. If the American pub
lie accepted gowns of different mo-
terial and color from the original,
then the dressmakers over here would
realize profit on their initial expense,
but the French do not always make
gowns that can be copied in other
fabrics and colors.
Materials We viii Wear.
AS we have taffeta, America is IN
PRODUCING gowns of it in slate gray, in
black, in dark blue covered with tulle,
In pale blue touched, Watteaulike,
with box plait at the back and a
group of pink roses at the waist.
Georgette crepe. and chiffon are
also plentiful, and both fabrics are
used in a large number of interesting
gowns.
Satin holds it's own. Tulle and silk
net remain in the best possible taste.
Japanese and Chinese crepes, bro
cades, pongees and silks, which seer.
to be easily obtainable from the ES 81
these days, have been worked up by
American designers into frocks thai
exactly suit our temperature.
Sport coats of shantung and tn,
thick, fine weaves of Chinese pongee
have been quickly offered by our de
signers to substitute sweaters, satir
sleeveless jackets and velvet, pocket
ed coats. These are lined with OBJ
crepe sometimes and are worn oveI

ONCE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION |S HERE
 FUR LABOR DAY GO

Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champion of the world and now es- saying a comeback in the pugilistic field. arrived in Phoenix yesterday morning, anxious to start hard train ing in preparation for his 10-round bout with Young France before the Maricopa Athletic association Labor Day.
 Accompanying the ex-champion was Hobo Dougherty. hardly a lesser light in the sporting world, the boy who made Wolgast the title holder.
 Few fans there are who do not re- call the Michigan Bearcat's great fistic engagement with Battling Nell son at Point Richmond back in 1910, regarded by many as the greatest ring battle in history. For 40 rounds. these human fighting machines battered each other about the ring. the bout finally being stopped and Wolgast be- ing proclaimed the new worlds light weight champion.
 Next to Nelson, Wolgast was one of the greatest boys of modern ring his- tory. He was game to the core, could assimilate punishment that would put the ordinary man to sleep and keep coming for more. He was a fighter no doubt about that-one that made ring history.
 And even now, Wolgast doesn't look so bad He is a little heavy. possibly eight or ten pounds so, but he can easily remove this extra poundage, Hobo asserts.
 If Wolgast can get into shape-and I honestly believe he can-I intend to bring him out for the title" Hobo de- clared late yesterday afternoon.
 The chances are all against Wolgast staging any such comeback, however. In the first place, the numerous ter rife beatings he took in his long fight ing career have been sufficient to sap the vitality of any bit of human me- chanism
 Ad isn't an old man by any means. The official record books says that he was born Feb. 8, 1888, but Ad him. self says that he was not born until 1889. Either way. he should be able to get into good shape.
 Wolgast will start training as soon as suitable quarters can be provided Announcement of where he will work and the hours will be made later.

STABLES IF
 GRAND CIRCUIT MAY
 COME FUR FAIR WEEK

There is a. strong possibility that many of the Grand Circuit race stables will come to Phoenix for the big fair week race program. Such was the statement of J. c. Adams, hotel man, upon his return from the east where he took an active interest and part in the first few weeks of the Grand Cir suit meet.
 MT. Adams has a small stable en- tered in the Grand Circuit races this season, his string consisting of two trotters and one pacer. So far, lie has enjoyed considerable success with his horses, handled by Fred E. Ward, one of the best known reinsmen of the harness field
 Allie Lou lowered her former record of 2:07A to 2:041k and had the dis tinction of trotting the fastest mile 0. the opening grand circuit meet ;ts Cleveland. This is quite a record for an Arizona owned horse, considering the fact that all of the fastest horses of the world were in the different races of the program. Edith Carter, his other trotter, has won every race in which she has started but two and has bettered her former record of 2:12A to 2:06H, cutting off six sec onds from her previous best time.
 Harry Mac, his only pacer, has made a record of 2:07A. He did not have a record previous to this.
 Grand Circuit horses are better and faster this year than ever before, MT. Adams explained yesterday. He ex- pressed confidence that all of the lead ing stables would be here for the harness program this fall.
