that nothing is more up to date at this

new TAFFETAS ARE IMPROVED
Material Does Not Split and Crack and
" Regarded Better Investment
Than II Was Some Sea-
sons Ago.

To complete ones spring wardrobe
at least one taffeta frock must be in
cluded. This may be one Of the new
and very lovely black gowns of this
crisp silk or a stiff and rather simple
and quaint evening frock, but to be alb
sOlutely correct, declares fashion
writer, at least one taffeta frock must
be included in the seasons outfit.
None of the silk gowns for years past
has had just the charm and dignity
that the black taffetas of this spring
have achieved. Indeed, the very silk
itself has acquired new suppleness
and a sOftness which gives delightful
drapery effects. Again, these newer
taffetas do not split and crack as once
they did and are therefore much bet
ter investment than this sort of silk
was some seasons ago.
RuffIes in Vogue.
Since ruffles are so much in vogue
1t is interesting to note that one of
the most advanced models developed
in black taffeta silk shows q very long
and narrow skirt with slightly hob
bled effect carried out by placing three
rufIles one above the other with the
hens of the little frills turned up to
the waist instead of in the usual man
ner of placing rufiles turned down to-
ward the hem of the skirt. This is one
of the new fancies of the spring-this
of the upside down ruflle-and it gives
a distinctive look to all frocks and
proves them of the latest model.
On the particular black dress men,
toned, the very long front panel is un-
broken from the square neck quite to
the bottom Of the skirt. except by the
ruflles, and untrimmed except for n
straight row of black silk buttons
placed straight down one side. The
back has slightly draped hustle effect
and sash. and the sleeves are long
and tight.
Just why black should be preferred
in this sort of silk frock 1t is difficult
to say, as for long time black taffeta
silk was left for the middle aged and
for mourning gowns. Certain 1t is

skirt, which is drawn in with very
little fulness. A sash finishes the
waist, is tied in rather large bow
and falls nearly to the bottom Of the
skirt.
AS to the bodice, 1t also reveals the
little short square chemisette Of fine
net like the one mentioned. AS two
wide revers finish the front of the
bodice in a sort of surplice effect, the
upper part Of this waist resembles a
smart little Eton jacket. The sleeves
are three-quarters long and are finish
ed with a wide, folded-back cuff.
One of the very successful cOmbi-
NATIONS for this style of dress Is taf-
feta and georgette, happily arranged
in one instance with long tunic Of
blue georgette over an underneath
skirt of blue taffeta. The bottom Of
the tunic Is handsomely ornamented
with an application Of taffeta in small
scrolls and pieces cleverly embroid-
cred In place with heavy silken threads.
A repetition of the applique appears
on the blouse, which overhangs the tunic
and belt slightly, and the long taffeta
sash in the back makes a good finish
for the waist. This also shows but
tons Of silk in the front Of the bodice
and short vestee Of fine white lace
finishes the upper part of the front.
The sleeves are the curious short bebe
sleeves SO much affected in the French
importations.
Evening Froeks.
Taffeta frocks are by no means con-
fined to just afternoon gowns, as this
silk is being extensively used for SIM
ple evening frocks and really offers
a welcome change from the heavier
brocades and metal tissues, the beaded
and spangled splendid robes Of which
we shall doubtless grow tired in spite
of their great beauty and elegance.

silk has little bertha Of very rich

MUNITIONS ARE
STRUGGLED FROM
i. S. FOR VILLA

Ell PASO, Tex.-Francisco Villa
has obtained his ammunition for
equipping his men for his bandit
raids by smuggling across the Unit
ed States border or by capture OF
Carranza troops. 1t is believed that,
in the past, millions of rounds of
ammunition have been struggled into
Mexico for Villa from Texas, New
Mexico, and Arizona. Small for
tunes are said to have been gained
by the smugglers.
The United States has stopped the
smuggling by wholesale, by com
polling ammunition dealers to obtain
permits from the army intelligence
department and by requiring them
to make reports of sales, showing
who receives the ammunition and
the use to which it is to be put.
Nevertheless, it is claimed, small
quantities of ammunition still are
being Struggled over the border.
Villa has often boosted that he
obtained a large part of his am
munition and many rifles from Car
rama troops. He captured 10000
rounds of ammunition intended for
Carranza at Parral last spring. Prior
to Villas last attack on Juarez, a
Carranza customs official was dis
covered delivering ammunition to
Villas spies in Juarez. +
Villa finances his revolutionary
movement by compelling foreign
mining and cattle companies to make
"forced loans" in return for pro-
lection and by Selling and selling
cattle, silver and other property.
Instances in which he has forced
"loans" nave been reported within
a few months. When Villa was
encamped near Juarez he carried
travelling bag filed with American
gold and currency obtained from
companies in Northern Mexico.
1t is known that he has captured
some of the horses sold by the
United States army remount depot
at Fort Bliss to the Carranza gov
eminent.

which local petitioners sought to
have christened ''Nenana."
The letter of explanation reached
.Nenana yesterday afternoon and
reads as follows:
Editor Nenana News-Dear Sir:
will you please inform the good
people of Nenana, through the medi-
UNI of your paper-The Nenana

NEW DESTROYER
IS NAMED AFTER
BRAVE OFFICER

SAN FRANCISCO.-The heroism
of the late Lieutenant Arnold Mar
Gus, of the United States navy, in
navigating TO safety the explosion
torn submarine AT at Manila in
JCl;, 1917, while he himself was
suffering from fatal burns, was
commemorated here in the launch
ing of the United States destroyer
Marcus The crafts sponsor was
Mrs. Arnold Marcus, of San Fran
cisco, widow of the young officer.
Burned and otherwise badly in
jured by an explosion of gasoline
vapor in the hold of the AT, Lieu
tenant Marcus refused aid for him
self until he had insured the safety
of the crew and beached the sub
marine. In a letter to Mrs. Marcus,
who is the only daughter of Paul
Cowles, of Chicago, superintendent
of the Central division of The AS
ISOLATED Press, Secretary of the
Navy Daniels recently wrote:
THE conduct of your husband
was that of a most gallant officer,
who, though fatally injured, without
regard to self, devoted every action
and thought to the care Of his YES
sci and men"
Lieutenant Marcus was a gradu-
ate of the Annapolis naval academy
with the class of 1918. He had
served in Mexican waters and was
attached to the Asiatic feet when
he met his death. He was the son
of Lady Young, wife of Lieutenant
Colonel Sir Popham Young, an Off
.cial of the government of India.
Lady Young attended the launching
of the destroyer Marcus.

carrying a depth of water of from
35 to 1876 fathoms. The bottom,
for the most part, is soft mud or
glacial silt. carried in by the swift
flowing rivers into the bay from all
sides. Warships should have no
difficulty in laying moorings any
where in the bay, although the best
anchorage is inside a line from the
Valdez Dock company's wharf to
Fort Liscum, where about 35 faith
oms is found with soft mud bot
tom. While the bay in general is
too deep for anchorage, moorings
could be placed with little difficulty.
The prevailing gales are from the
northeast in winter, which would
place the vessels under the lee of
the land Good water can be piped
from many points to the base, and
wharves can be built at slight ex-
pense to deep water.
If politics are left out of the Sc
lection of the base and it is estab-
lished on its merits. Valdez bay will
not be overlooked. The establish
ment OF coal bunkers at Portage
bay, which is sure to follow the
building Of the Government railroad,
would make fuel accessible, The
big wireless planned for this port
would keep the vessels in touch with

ENGLAND PROSPEROUS.

More money than ever before is
now in circulation in English vii
lagos, and its easy expenditure is
apparent even to the casual passer-
by. Extra wages earned by work
men, housemaids, and farm laborers
have brought about an astonishing
social change.
One evidence of this, says a Lon
don report, is seen in the great in
crease in the number of bicycles
and motorcycles, which has necessi-
tated the establishment of countless
garages and repair shops throughout
the country. Dancing and other
clubs are springing up everywhere.
Whist clubs are favorites, and the
costliness of the prizes for which
the members play would, a few
years ago, have constituted almost
scs rdal. The sense of xellbeing and
the demand for a more comfortable
life is assigned as the cause for
this last development. 1t is taken
By sociologis.s as permanent thi-g
