An excursion through the shops In
search of new blouses is as intriguing
rs an expedition after wild flowers.
Where there is so much variety and
beauty to be found there Is an equal
amount of zest in making selections.
The autumn brought variety in styles,
in materials, in methods of decorating
the new blouses and, for several rea-
sons, their place in the wardrobe Is
Increased in Importance. one OF these
reasons is the "high cost of dressing"
The suit blouse is not confined to tall
ored STYLES nowadays, but undertakes
to fit a suit for many occasions. In
the company of a handsome separate
skirt, lovely blouses are able to face
auy occasion with assurance.
The overblouse and the smock style
nre the important new features In the
seasons showings. In the over
blouse, two materials or two colors
of one material are used to nuke the
blouse-as crepe georgette over chif-
fop. or net or satin. In the smock
style the blouse has peplum and n
girdle, as shown in the figure at the
right of the picture above. This par
ticular model embodies several details
of the mode in the flaring sleeves, the
shape OF the neck opening, the silk
cord and tassels forming the girdle.

RECKLESS DRIVING.

The only thing to do. says the chief of police Of Agawam, Mass, is ito ar rest speeders and soak them the limit. 5 This remark was made following the death of five people as the result of a collision of an auto with a trolley car. while the former was trying to pass two jitneys travelling abreast. but it appears to be a characteristic per formance on that particular road for the violation of the speed law to take place. the Jitney drivers of an even ing in seeking passengers between the city and the park furnishing more thrills by their fast and reckless driv- ing than three ring circus.
 Certainly, it cannot be expected that accidents. even though deaths result will bring about any such voluntary reforms as are needed on the part. of the auto drivers who make the high way dangerous to all users. It is plain ly evident that the authorities must recognize their duty and see that the provisions of the law are respected. Not many years ago it was occasion ally found necessary to arrest the drivers of horses because of the speed they were making and the danger they were causing in the highway, but today auto drivers think nothing of going several times as fast as those reckless horse drivers and no attention is paid to it except by those who wit ness it and wonder why it is tolerated
 There is hardly a community but what has had just the same experi- ence as Agawam, even if the number of deaths in one collision has not been as large, and 1t is plainly evident that the deplorable situation will con- tinue until just such steps as are rec commended are taken. ToIeratiorF of recklessness simply invites it's con- tinuance and ternpts others to follow the leader. What certain ones are al lowed to do others will initiate and the longer it is permitted to go on the harder it is to stop it. Let it be under stood that the law must be obeyed a all times and reckless driving will ma terially decrease.

AN uNJusTfFIED APPEAL.

An appeal which can hardly be ex-
 pected to get far is that which is be-
 ing made to the director general of the
 railroads for the reduction of the rates
 on railroads to one cent a mile for the
 help that the farmers of Kansas must
 seek in order to get their millions of
 bushels of wheat harvested. It is
 maintained that most of the ten to twenty five thousand men who are go-
 ing to be required can be secured in St. Louis but it will cost about s20 a man to transport this help at the present rate where it could be landed on the farms for about sS a man under reduced rates.
 This is certainly great idea. The people of the cotntry are now being taxed to maintain the railroads under government operation, and the rail- road administration is steadily report ing that it is doing business at a loss, and yet the director of the roads is asked to have certain of the systems take a loss in order that the farmers may not be forced to pay so much to secure the help that they are going to require.
 If the people were getting the bene- fit of low rates themselves for the transportation of goods and them selves. it might be different. Or if they were not providing for a billion or so to furnish a guarantee to the farmers that their wheat will be taken off of their hands a t the unheard of price of $2.26 bushel it might be another story but with the wheat growers ex- periencing an unprecedented period of which will continue through the harvesting of existing crops they certainly should not be asking for any rates for transporting harvest nd nd asked for such rates there is no good reason under existing conditions why they should get them. It is a prepos- terous appeal.

ELIMINATING CORN BOXERS.

In order to get rid of the corn borer pest up in Massachusetts the practice of destroying such crops as are be- ing found to be infested is being fol- lowed. The result is that acre after acre is being burned or otherwise de- stroyed and in some cases it is esti- mated that farmers will suffer losses ranging up to as much as $4o00 to $5000 apiece.
 That is by no means a mere baga- telle to the small farmer. He cannot afford to have that taken out of his annual income and have no means of replacing it, and it is quite proper that there should be a determination on the part of those who are obliged to experience such losses to look to the state for reimbursement.
 The existence of the corn borer of course threatens the whole corn crop unless checked. If it can be stopped by destroying those fields of corn where it is found it will be a cheap means of guarding the rest of the crops in the state. in New England and the country. It is thus a matter which reaches beyond the state of Massachusetts and that state has good reason to expect that the gov ernment will respond to the situation and see that the sacrifices that are DeinS haae HI ofuef eo pioecSt lHo rest of the country are met out of government funds.
 The pest has not as yet reached out over the country. It is to be hoped that it will not, but surely it will go like wildnre unless there are applied the very stringent measures that are being taken in the Bay state The smaller the section toswhieh the bor- CTS can be restricted the better it will be for the remainder of the country and it is far preferable that the eX- pense of destroying the pest in Mass achusetts should be met than to dodge it and allow the menace to threaten the much greater crops of the corn belt. Such an expense will be cheap eradication and prevention.

STORIES OF THE WAR
ArcI1angeI Today.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Six months ago Archangel was a gay, wartime capital, with hundreds of Russian soldiers in it's streets and very few of them at the front. Today it is becoming sober, businesslike and engaged in only one pursuit-fghting the bolsheviki.
 The change came about in the win ter. Last autumn the Russian mili- tary forces were small and the civil Iian and promenade-te streets off, cers class made merry while Ameri- cans and Bitish and Finch fought their battles at the front. But all the time, the people were being mob ilized and trained. There was doubt in nearly every mind about the abil- ity ot the newly trained Russians to fight. Late in the winter, when the Bolshevik offensive was at it's height, Russian mobilized troops were thrown into the line. They made good, and, from that moment with only a few little setoacAs now and then, the Rus sians have been keeping up the pace.
 For six months they relied upon Tstrangers to fight for them, but from the moment they began to find them selves, the Rushians developed a morale that has brought about count less chang not only at the front but behind the lines. in once easy going Archange1.

 General Marushevsky, who, garbed in plain, simple uniform without the gaudy coloring or fancy swords af- fected by some of his subordinates, went among the soldiers and talked to them frequently. So he ordered a compulory weekly bath for every man the army.
