THINKS UNIVERSITY

Belief that the American Expedition

that it is feasible to make the United

lea is expressed by DR.. John Erskine,
professor of English in Columbia Uni
versity. DR.. Erskine is one of the
three members of the recently created
educational corps of the American eX-
peditionary force.
The great university is nearing its
turned to America, but DR.. Erskine
regards it as laboratory which has
demonstrated the possibility of uni
vorsal training in America with the
United States Army as the medium.
1.-The A. f. F. University seems to
me significant experiment from the
point of view Of, education in the
United States" said DR.. Erskine. Il
have been fascinated with the idea
that we might introduce into our ma
tional life system of universal train
ing not yet attempted-a system
which should be compulsory for all
men, whether or not they are physic-
ally fit to be soldiers, which should
serve as an annual inventory of our
national resources, physically, men,
tally and morally.
Model for the Training Camps.
"The university might serve as
model for the training camps which
would be found in such a system;
student would be under military dis
cipline, and would enjoy all advan
tages of the we'll administered mill
tary camp. but he would pursue wfA.-
ever subjects his tastes and his sit
uation in life might cause him to de-
sire, from brick-laying to university
study.
IF we should so organize the United
States we should beprepared against
attack in time of war; and we should
also be prepared, as far as is hu
manly possible, against prejudices
and ignorances which tend to drive
nations into war"

THE POPULARITY OF WHITE LINEN.
By ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Tho American woman has always
given her heart to the white linen

ed to wear 1t in large cities. much to
her distress at the end of the day
She knows 1t is expensive to buy and
expensive to keep in good conoi;iGn. ciit,
and vet she realizes its desirabillty
and strives to keep herself in good
humor with it.
Its disadvantage is it's inclination
to wrinkle quickly, as well as SOL

Men are in business. you see, whlIe
women are there only in minor de-
gree; and it is the vast assem- blage
sist upon cool clothes, no matter
what the price of the laundry.
In Imitation Of Suit.
The fashion of the hour has made
the linen costume even more difficult;
It now must go to the cleaner lnsteau
of to the washtub.
1t is not a suit; it is an imitation
of suit, for its tunic and under-
slip are made in one.
In addition to it's complicated cut

these bits of luxury can come In con-

The reason that linen is treated In
this superf1ne manner Is that 1t no
longer can be picked off a shelf at
moderate price.
plentiful, but there is no denying that
the decrease in this fabric Is amazing.
There are too many reasons 1or thls
condition, commercial and military,
to be detailed in a small space. Suf-
ficient it is that the price of linen
has put 1t into the class of elaborate
and expensive frocks.
Once upon a time we made pique
gowns in exactly the pattern that we
follow today in fine linen. and we used
velvet leather and satin as trimming.
So far, fashion has not reinstated
the long waistcoats of golden brown
velvet fastened with pearl buttons
which were once put into tunic coats
of white pique when the fabric was
in high favor; but there are waist
coats in these linen coats that drop
half way to the knees and are made OF
various fine fabrics.
Perhaps some individualist will pick
up the idea OF Chinese brocade and
colored velveteen, which were ex-
plotted by the generation that went
before this one.

that is not intended to be worn In

APPEAL MADE BY SODA
| FOUNTAIN ASSOCIATION
New York Organization Presents
Arguments Against Tax on
Ice Cream and Soda.

The Soda Fountain Association of
New York has sent hundreds of
thousands of letters to individuals
and organizations throughout the
country. urging them to request that
the Senate pass the House bill repeal
ing the tax on soda water. ice cream
and other refreshments sold at soda
fountains.
The association calls attention to
the fact that the Senate is holding
up the bill on the ground that if it is
passed. or pressed. Congress will be
deluged with appeals to repeal other
parts of the war revenue law.
The association gives the following
reasons for repeal of the tax: 1t
is the only tax on food or food prod
ucts, except candy. 1t hits the poor
people hardest Many of the dealers
affected are the smallest. least re-
sponsible and most changeable in
the business community. To check
up their returns would require an
army of inspectors. and is practically
impossible. The estimated return of
$21.000.000 from the tax is not at all
commensurate with the annoyance to
the community.

AS to increased production and

II masses Of labor cease producing en-
tirely. That the present labor unrest
and the apparently growing tendency
to reduce production or to cease pro-
ducing may impose a heavy handicap
on the government in its efforts to
bring about generally lower prices
was something that serious investi-
gators feared, Judge Ames said.
On the whole. however. Judge Ames
declared that conditions have i'm
proved to a noticeable degree In the
last month. as shown by general aver
ages, and unless governmental agen-
cies are hampered by elements beyond
their control the Improvement may be
expected to continue at steadily in
creasing speed until normal levels are

COSTUME COST PREVENTS
NEW YORK LABOR PARADE
Workers Also Lose Old Interest in
Picturesque Side During In

NEW YORK. September 1.-The
high cost Of costumes il the cause
assigned by labor leaders for not
holding a Labor day parade in New
York today. Ernest Bohm. secre-
tary Of the Central Federated Union.
announced that the labor men felt
impelled to forego the parade be-
cause of the high prices Of the cos
tunes In which they have of recent
years appeared for their annual
march on 5th avenue.
Conditions Of Industrial unrest with
many strikes on and with others
pending also have tended to make the
workers lose interest in the pic
turesque side of the eelebration. he
said. The labor men, however, held
their parade in Brooklyn as usual.
In addition to the labor celebra-
tions held today many ATHLETIC, con-
tests, including tennis, base ball and
golf were scheduled. Under the aus
pices Of the department of parks
there were twenty community festi-
walls in as many parks.

History Reverses itself.


Heretofore the cessation Of hostili-
ties in a war Of any magnitude has
been followed Immediately by de-
clining prices. The exact opposite has
been true following the close OF the
world war.
After the entrance of the United
States into the war and the estab-
lishment of government price control
over about 500 commodities. roughly
speaking. price averages of such con-
trolled commodities showed an actual
decline during the war period. AS
soon. however. as the fighting ceased
with the signing Of the armistice, and
governmental control began to relax.
prices started upward. and the rise,
indicated by an almost perpendicular
line on graphic chart. has only just
passed it's peak and begun to sag.
This rise in prices said Judge
Ames, after hostilities had ceased
was purely artificial. 1t was due to
profiteering and to speculation and
to no other causes. 1t was absolutely
Unnatural. and in any case it must
have come to an end before long. Gov
ernment action simply llastened events
that by reason Of their own causes
were certain to come"
