Two afternoon frocks of the simple
aEt unpretentiOus sort that prove most
useful are shown In the picture above.
One of them is in taffeta silk in a dark
blue aud the other in wool tricotine in
the same color. They are both very
practical dresses and the tricotine will
be found equal to taking the place Of
suit skirt and blouse, or separate
skirt and blouse, for all day wear. 1t
Is the sort of dress that becomes use
fM for the street or business, worn
with a fur piece or separate coat.
The taffeta dress is one of several
popular models In which narrow
founces of the silk play an important
part. In some of these the skirt Is a
series Of overlapping tiounces, of scant
fullnesS, wand each about five inches
wide. They are set to a foundation
and terminate just below the hip line.
Above this the plain taffeta is gath
cred into the belt at the waistline.
Bodices in the several models vary,
some of them having no fiounces in
their finishing, and favorite for them
Is the surplice style. In the dress
shown above the skirt Is draped at the
sides and group of three f1ounces set
On diagonaily suggests tunic high
az one side. Above this group a Sec
ond fiounce follows the same diagonal

and makes a chic affair of simple
dress. In this model flounces appeal
on the sleeves and at the neck.
The frock Of tricotine has an attrac.
tive and simple bodice that fastelS
along the shoulder and underarm at
one side. 1t Is cut with q round neck
rather high and pattern in stitched
on braid that has the appearance of
| embroidery, outlines a pointed collar.
The bodice extends a little below the
waistline, where the skirt Is set on
in way that widens the hips little.
A narrow band of the embroidery or
naments the front of the bodice and q
similar band, but wider, is placed
about the skirt Small, fiat, cloth-cov-
cred buttons extend in close-set row
below this band to the bottom of the
skirt. The soft girdle at the waist
is made of tricotlne and the long
sleeves flare a little and are finished
with a narrow band of embroidery in
the same pattern as the other bands.
This little flare in the sleeves, the very
slightly widened hips, the easy adjust
ment of the bodice, are all new style

Fort Dodge. Ia.--A wounded negro.
now under arrest In a Cherokee hos

entered the A. II. Woodland home here,
and at whom Woodland fired one night.
Woodland was awakened by the
sound of someone in his room and saw
man standing near the foot of the
bed. He grabbed his revolver from
under the pillow and fired at the In
truder.
The thief started to run, with Wood
ard after him. A mouse probably
saved the thiefs life. While Wood

got into a trap In the Woodland kitchen.

Concerning the Care of Silk Hosiery.
Merchants inform their customers,
with good reasons, that the price OF
raw silk Is likely to advance. There
may be no shortage Of 1t but the de-
mand has increased immensely. Silk
has replaced much of the cotton for
merly used In many things that wom-
en- wear, as hosiery, undergarments
and bioyMes, and much raw silk has
been diverted to these new channels,
where silk garments are In ever-in-
creasing demand. 1t is said that wom-
en- will pay any price for silk and
nothing tempts them to extravaganza
more surely than silk hosiery. But 1t
has reached a price now that puts it
almost beyond the reach of the woman
of limited means and good judgment.
The care of silk stockings is a matter

manufacture them and merchants who
sell them recommend that women be
informed as to means Of prolOnging
their service.

chief enemies of silk hosiery. There
fore a pair of silk hose should not be
worn a second time without washing.
Also they should be washed very soon
after they are worn and not Above to
walt for q regular wash day to arrive.
Some women wash their silk hose
every time they wear them. For wash
ing use warm water and bland soap.
Dry indoors but not by artificial heat.
Never place silk hose on steam radia-
tors to dry them.
Anything that breaks a thread Is IA
tai to silk hose, therefore they should
be put on carefully so that the fine
threads will not be strained. Roll down
to the heel and insert the foot, then
Dull the stocking carefully on, avoid
ing undue strain when bringing 1t over
the foot. Rings which catch and

it Is better to darn them whenever a

until they are worn through.
Some women say that all silk hosiery
should be washed before 1t is eyer
worn at all; whether this strengthens
1t or not, it cannot do any harm to try
it. 1t is essential that warm water
and bland soap be used instead of very
hot water and ordinary laundry soap.

The Public Mind

Editor Times-RecOrder. Dear Sir.
You are, Of course, familiar with the
organization of the Council of Ma
tional Defense system throughout the
country. Under the Council Of Ma
tionai Defense in Washington. consist
ing of the secretaries of war, navy,
interior, agriculture, commerce and
labor, and with Groesvenor B. Clark
son sdirector, there has been built
up under the governors of the forty
eight states a complete defense sys-
tenn now consisting in addition to the
state organization Of 1000 counties,
$1,000 women's divisions, and some
$4,000 community and municipal.
units. This great field machinery has
represented the people of the United
States in Washington and has carried
through to the smallest community the
problems and measures OF the na-
tionai government during the war.
In Washington the Council of Ma
tional Defense has created such vital
bodies as the War Industries Board,
the Aircraft Production, the CONNER
cial Economy Board, acting in a sense
as great administrative laboratory:
and other similar government war
agencies. The Council of National De-
Tense has been content to build these
agencies and turn over to them the
specific problems which come within
their jurisdiction.
1t had not originally been the in
tentiOn to continue the state council of
defense system beyond the date of the
signing Of the armistice. However, we
find many problems that now require
careful neutrality-suspicious. in which
the cooperation of the people
throughout the United States is not
only desirable but absolutely neces-
sary. There is the problem of Ameri-
