FLYING IN SOUTH AMERICA.

South American republics are
realizing the commercial possibii-
ties of the airplane and the value Of
the types Of the United States. Sew
eral of those countries are planning
aerial service between the large
cities, and the governments are con-
sidering military and naval aviation.
Two American naval officers are al
ready in Brazil as instructors in the
science of flying, and the govern
ment has appropriated $500,000 for
aviation. The Chilean government
has made plans for air lines. In
Peru an army aviation school has
been started.

SOME new PARIS
IDEAS IN GOWNS
Premet Model Represents All
That Is Original and Novel
in World of Dress.
cANESAND GAuNTLETGLOvES
Added Features Of Louis XIV Outfit
Are Said to Be Practical, Except
for Formal Events or Eve

Here are two sketches Of costume
which may truthfully be called 1.-THE
newest Of the new" writes leading
Paris fashion correspondent. 1t is a
Premet model and it represents all
that is original and novel in the Paris
world Of dress. Here you have the
true Louis XIV outline. A robe made
of taffetas in two shades of peacock
blue, mounted over black lace under
dress and finished with plain. tight
fitting corsage.
This corsage fastens, almost invisi-
bly,, down the back and it is important
to observe that the neck opening Is
quite unexpected. In front it is cut
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1919-12-29

round while at the back there is a
peak, ending in small bow. This is
one Of Premet's new ideas and this
particular model has had a great sue
cess. It will be copied widely and in
many different materials.
You will see that the skirt is made
in two parts, one SIDE in pale blue
silk and the other in a darker shade.
The corsage is in the light color with
cuffs of darker blue. Absolutely no
trimming is introduced on the corsage.
This is an idea which is generally fol-
lowed by the leading dressmakers Of
the Rue de la Paix. Nowadays one
rarely sees an elaborately trimmed
bodice, and many of the more eXpen-
sive models are plain, as indicated in
the sketch.
1t is very important to realize that
these fitted corsages are worn over
what may be called "a natural corset; ;"
that is to say, there is no indication of
O small waist, the outline is Intention
ally boyish and for this reason it Is
youthful. If you have seen the jackets
worn by French fencing masters you
will realize at once the effect which
our great dressmakers wish to obtain.
Stiffened at the Sides.
The Premet model was slightly stiff
tened at the sides, right en- the hips,
and the silken material was gathered
at the waist. The corsage was sepa-
rate, though it looked as though it
we're attached to the skirt.
These fitted 5odices are going to be
Immensely fashionable. They need to
be perfectly cut and Fitted, otherwise
they are far from becoming. I have
seen them in silk jersey-cIoth. worn
over skirts Of silk or fine serge and
the combination was highly successful.
With the new Louis XIV dresses long,
very thin canes will be carried and
gauntlet gloves worn. This is going to
be picturesque winter, but in reality
the new styles are quite practical, ex-
cept for evening gowns, and those of
the more ceremoniOus order; we do
not find many pannier dresses shown
In the Rue de la Paris; the Louis XIV
and Louis XIV outlines are much in
evidence, but now that we have settled
down a little the a-sensational
models seem to have disappeared from
view.
The new Louis XIV bodices can be
fastened at the back, at one side or d.
rectly in front. In each case the fas-
tening is made as invisible as possible,
unless close row of small buttons be
introduced. Premet is using a great
deal Of taffetas, plain and shot; but
indeed the same thing may be said Of
all the other famous dressmakers Of
Paris. 1t is the year of taffetas.
With regard to the new fur wraps
and coats, the chief item to Tote is the
enormous collar which almost entirely
covers the ears and hair Collars are
getting larger and larger, or, on the
other hand, they are quite small. But
the ultra-large models are the chief
favorites.

GARBAGE YIELDS PERFUME.

While France has had the high
est reputation in cosmetics and per-
fumes, Germany was cutting deeply
into her trade before the war. The
skill of the German scientist is ex-
emplitied by one illustration given.
That is, from the garbage Of Berlin
alone the German chemists recov-
cred essential oils each year of a
value Of 100000 marks. These oils
were used as the base of many per-
fumes.

AM MMUNlTI0N, ARMS
SHIPPED TO MEXICO
IN TRUNKS, CLAIM


New York, Aug. 25. --- Ten trunks
containing arms and ammunition were
shipped from this city to Mexico on
the steamship MORO Castle which
sailed last Friday for Havana, Pro-
greso and Vera Cruz, according to in
formation obtained today by detectives
attached to the bomb squad. The
trunks were shipped from a Broadway
hotel The department of justice and
navy department have ben notified
and 1t is expected gunboats will be
sent out to intercept the steamship.
The bomb squad detectives, who
have been investigating reports of
secret ammunition stores here. first
learned of the shipment through dis
covery Of a bill of sale showing H.
600 rounds of ammunition and $50
pounds Of "talcum" powder had been
purchased on August l6 from a large
sporting goods house in this city and

plosves had actually found their way
to a Broadway hotel. where two men.

FASHIONS CONDEMNED
BY BRITISH CLERGYMAN
Copyright, 1919. by The Pres Pub
fishing Co.

London, Aug. 25.---Fashion's edict
had prescribed a liberal display of
back for fashionable British women
this winter, but the women are not
waiting for cold weather. Clergymen
are condemning some of the present
modes as intolerable. One-piece bath
ing suits at the beaches are scantier
and more sngly fitting than ever be-
fore. The Rv F. B. Meyer a Non,
conformist church leader and writer,
who is we'll known in America, said
today:
Many girls think that men can be
won by the flesh. But men are too
sensible. They are not going to marry
girls who go about half naked. One
aim of many girls seems to be to at
tract men. and that may account for
the present styles. A man may flirt
with a girl who goes to extremes in
these fashions, but he will not marry
her"
He said he doesn't set himself up
as a censor of clothes, but he added:
II only know what l see in the
streets. But what l think is that
women seem to have lost that re-
straint and modesty and befitting
style of dress which characterized
them during the war"

SUOPMEN GET INCREASE
OF FORTY GENTS \ DAY

Washington, Aug. President
Wilson today submitted TO represent
atives of the six railroad shop crafts
proposal TO pay shopmen, about
four cents an hour increase. on a basis
of ten hours pay for eight hours work,
retroactive to May /,
Certain classes of shopmen, car in
sLectors, repairmen, who have beeh
receiving 63 cents and IS cents re-
spectively would be paid 81 cents an
hour under the proposed scale.
The shipments representatives, totd
the president they would submit the
proposition to their members whose
original demands We're for an ad-
vance of % per cent. The president
requested that the meC not act on lhe
original proposition of having con-
gressional commission pass on the
wage demands. A vote OF the shop-
men OH this proposition now is being
tabulated. |
Greater Increase Not Advisable.
The president told the committee Of
one hundred representing the shop
crafts that any greater increase now
would greatly increase the cost of liV-
ing and, therefore. was inadvisable.
The increase represents a conces-
sion amounting to approximately
one-fourth of the demand made by
the shopmen.
The president, coincident with his
statement to the shopmen's represent
atives, addressed a statement to the
public advising tie nation of the
situation and the basis of his action.
The four cents an hour increase
proposed, the presidents statement
said, represents readjustment OF
shopmens wages to put their pay on
the same basis as other railroad work
ers, that is, on the ten hour pay and
eight hours work basis. and accord
ingly is not in the strict sense an in

GERMAN LABOR IS
GOING MAD WITH
CRAZE FOR STRIKE
Many Industries Are Now Out
and SpartaCanS Are Prepar-.
ing for Series Of Outbreaks
Over Whole Empire,
BY Cyril Brown.

que Journal and n. Y. World.)
Especial Gable Dispatch.)

Berlin, Aug. 25.-There is no in
dustrial rest in sight for Germany.
When a funeral today reached the
cemetery Of the Berlin borough of
Neukoeline, the mourners found no
grave had been dug. as the diggers
had gone on strike.
Berlin faces a milk famine this
week, as the employees of the dairies
demand an increase of wages of 100
per cent, and are threatening to
strike. Leipzig faces gas famine
from coal shortage. due to the strike
in the mines of Upper Silesia.
Another strike typical of the times
has been called by the Leipzig wait
ers, who demand the return of the
tipping system. Last March the same
walters participated enthusiastically
in general walters strike in the
German cities for a fixed scale OF
wages and the abolition of tips. In
Bavaria since last November the
operations of the soldiers and work.
mems councils have cost irdustrially,
nearly 1000 900, 600 marks (s500,000,-
900 at normal exchange.)
There are symptoms throughout
Germany of preparations for a show
of new fall STYLES in revolutionary
outbreaks, IN strikes, in phndering
expeditions to destroy the late har-
vests and in surprise attacks on a
large scale on agricultural estates.
1t is said the events in, Upper Silesia
and elsewhere are merely a tuning up
for the big show which the Sparta
cans, according to news from their
councils, are scheduled to begin early
in October. They are counting on
coal shortage and on strong popular
aversion here to heavy taxes as pow
erful aids in their plans for fomentng
discomfort

The president announced also that it
was neither wise nor feasible at this
time, when the most important ques-
ton before the country Is n return to
normal price level, to attempt to in
crease freight rates to provide funds
for higher wages
we ought to postpone questions of
this sort until we have the opportun-
ity for certain calculation as to the
relation between wages and the cost
of living" the president declared in a
statement to the public explaining his
decisions as to wages. 1T Is the duty
of every citizen to insist upon a truce
in such contests until Intelligent set
tlements can be made, and made by
peace and effective common counsel.

The decision of the president and
the director general was announced to
n committee of one hundred, repre-
senting the shopmen. In reply to their
demands for a 25 per cent increase,
the shopmen were asked to accept an
adjustment of their pay to the basis OF
ten hours for eight hours work, which
they contended was given other en-
ployes and denied them when the Ad-
amson law became effective. rms
means an advance of the basic pay
from 6S cents to - cents an hour,
whereas an increase of Z cents to SO
cents an hour was demanded.
Acting President Jewell of the rail-
way emp,oyes department of the
American Federation Of Labor, ana
his advisers said they would commun-
icate the decision to the union locals
for acceptance or rejection. a strike
vote completed yesterday, but not yet
tabulated, was on the question wheth-
er the men should quit work to en-
force consideration of their demands
by the railroad administration instead
of a congressional commission, as first
suggested. As this plan was aban'
doned, the vote, whatever the result,
is non-effective and the shopmen now
have an entirely new question before
them.
