Beginning with organdie and pro-
crossing through the lighter silks to
the new tricOt and satin families, sep
arate skirts finally arrive, by way of
light flannels to the heavier and more
practical woolens. Their history re-
veals that in years gone by they began
where they now leave off, with utility
skirts made of sturdy wool materials.
For it Is the dainty and elegant skirts
for resort wear, and those marvels Of
smart character that are classed as
sport skirts that command the most
attention.
A fair example Of the smart styles
for spring appears In the model pic
tured. The pattern Is woven in broad
stripes of dark, contrasting colors and
the skirt fashioned SO that these run
horizontally. Flap pockets are nearly
always part of the play and are pres

time.
In the evening, after Q long march,
We reached the town Of Suippes. Here
our captain told N we would flnd nu-
merous frank-tireurs. We were or.
dered to bivouac. instead Of being AZ
signed quarters. and all going into the
village were obliged 30 take guns and
cartridges with them. After . brief
rest we entered the village In search Of
food. Dead civilians lay in the middle
Of the s6oeta. They were citizens Of
the village. We could not learn the
reason for their having been shot The
only answer to our questions was .
shrug Of the shoulder.
The village itself had not suffered
to any noticeable degree a. far as
destruction Of buildings was concerned,
but never In the course Of the war had
I seen q more complete Job Of plundsr-
Ing than had been done in 6uippes.
That we had to live and eat II true.
and as the Inhabitants and merchants
had flown there was no opportunity to

simply entered . store. put ON stock

Organdie georgette and other sheer

baronet satin make wonderful skirts.
They are usually plain, having small
set on pockets and much given to enor-

run the whole length of the skirt or be
merely stationed on the belt and pock-
cts. They are as much at home on
light hannels, which are light in color
as well as weight and Of a lovely soft
texture These and the tricot weaves
have the suppleness Of jersey. and
therefore their success Is assured.

WHY BOLSIiEVISM is DOOMED

Wall Street Journal: I'm order
to enable you to understand the
present economic conditions OF
Russia" said DR.. Joseph M. Gold
stein, professor Of political econ
omy, University OF Moscow, IN
discussing Future Trade With
Russia before the annual con-
yention of the American Manu-
facturers Export association, x
must explain the conditions that
prevailed at the beginning OF the
war and during the revolution.
"When the war started Russia
was only beginning to develop
her Industries and natural re-
sources. Although she had an
area almost one-sixth that of the
world, Russia with a population OF
160, 900 900 exclusive Of present
Poland and Finland, had railroad
mileage not much in excess OF that
of Canada. whose population Is
about 100000,
IAN even more striking fllustra-
ton Of Russia's immature econo-
mic conditions was that the total
stock and bond capitalization of all
her industrial and commercial cor
porations, exclusive of railroads
and banks, barely exceeded the
stock and bond capitalizations OF
the United States Steel corpora
ton.
'sRussia's agricultural produc-
ton per capita of rural population
was only $50 compared to 5000 for
the United States. Her industrial
products had value of only Sl6o
per capita in 1909, while in the
United States the average per
capita amounted. at that time, to
approximately $3.50.
..The direct result Of this low
productivity both In agriculture
and in industry was that Russia
always remained practically
pauper country. With all her i'm
mense natural resources, Russia's
per capita wealth before the war
was six times less than that of the
United States or England, fiye
times less than that of France and
four times less than that of Ger
many. The same held true regard
ing her annual per capita income.
although Russia's economic de-
yelopment as a whole is very back
ward, progress in many important
industries can be shown.
''Her average production OF iron
ore for the two-year periods 1902
1903 and 1912-1913 Increased from
1920 900 to 100000 tons, her
production Of pig iron from $780,
600 to 100000 tons, her produc-
ton of coal from 100000 to
$4,000. 900 tons and her produc-
ton OF copper from 5000 tons to
$4,000 tons. Her agricultural pro-
ductivity also increased, although
at considerably lower rate than in
the industries mentioned.
''At this time 1 shall refer only
to the great possibilities which
will offer themselves to the
united States, to Canada, and to
the other allies, when stable gov
eminent is again established.
