Remedy for Mexico

Agnes C. Laut, in the World outlook.
Mexico could have been saved and
can vet be saved without the firing of
another revolutionary shot, or the she'd
ding of another drop of blood. 1t r>be
saved without the political catch cries
of "cut the gringoes throats!" on the
one side of the line, and armed inter-
vention" on the other side of the line.
1t can be saved so easily that the crime
is5not in interfering. 1t is in hesitating.
AS Diaz once said You Americans
talk of the constitution being the key
stone to the arch of your liberties. 1t
isn't. and never has been The key
stone to the arch of your liberties is the
little red school house on the back road,
where unknown workers teach what lib
erty and decency and self control mean
That's the keystone to your liberties
the little red school house. Till we get
that going we'll never have a people
who realize that liberty is not freedom
to despoil the other man.
That is what Mexico needs-the little
red keystone.

There are white kid skirts with
loose and long coats of black velvet,
and short tight skirts of dark blue
velveteen with loose capes of per-
forated white kid topped by immense
collars of brown or black peltry.
There new capes are interesting also;
they are a return in shape to the cape
of a decade ago. They are only knee
length with accentuated fulness over
the shoulders and hips, a fulness that
decreases as it reaches the knees by a
process of skilful cutting, not seams
although one of the most popular
shapes sold by the Galerie Lafayette
which keeps pace with the changing
modes like a barometer has a long
V-shaped panel of the fabric inserted
down the middle of the back, holding
the fulness of the sides to it as it
drops from shoulders to knees.
The buyers who look ahead in fash
ions think that the introduction of kid
as a medium for women's clothes will
suggest white separate skirts of it for
the south to be worn with the new

HOW LONG WILL 1T LAST?
Builders Want to Know Cost

From an editorial in Architecture
Charles Scribners Sons, Publishers
New York;
In a talk recently with an architect
who for many years has been associated
with the building enterprises of ma
tional war work organization, he said
he had learned more practical architec-
ture in this work than he had in all his
previous practice. He expressed some
thing of the unrest and dissatisfaction
with some old methods that others have
been expressing from time to time, the
dissatisfaction that comes to many of us
with changing conditions, when we find
that some essential part of our practi-
cal equipment is wanting. We have had
to begin again with new ideas. based
not on our dreams of the schools, on
ideals of building for beauty or knowl-
upon such mere matters of fact as cost
relative values of certain methods OF
construction. the furnishing of estimates
that viii, not be matters of chance, but
such as win meet the pocketbooks of eli
ents who have so much and no more to
spend. There may be no possible way
IN these DAYS 10 make exact estimates
to entirely anticipate the final cost, but
at least we may know how to arrive at
the closest approximations. The specifi-
cation man in an office may be of inesti-
,uable service in his first-hand knowl-
edge of materials. based on actual hand
ling and of comparisons determined by
use and time.

some and black unsuitable for children
could he have gained the position
among children of fiction that he has?
Suppose he had been dressed quite

or serge or corduroy, in short, anything
but velvet-who really has almost as
much to do with it as Frances Hodson
Burnett herself-could Reginald Birch
made of him the quaint little figure
that has endeared him to US for so
long?
Well perhaps the little lod was diff
ferent from some children of today.
And doubtless for your red blooded
young lion of boy, velvet would be
out of question. Surely you would
have a hard time getting by the scien-
tifically trained nursery governess with
anything like that these days, for it
is one of the cardinal doctrines of their
creed of those who are versed on child
hygience these days, that their clothes
should be washable and durable and
nondust gathering. And velvet is none
of these
However, Notwithstanding, neverless,

woman.
Lace and velvet always come hand in
hand, and when fashion decreed a
return of lace it seemed inevitable
that velvet should come in too. Thus,
although some of the children's frocks
and suits made with velvet, are un-
adorned with lace, those that are en-
joying the best favor are those that,
like the immortal suit of Little Lord
Fontleroy, are trimmed with collars
and cuffs of lace.

He paused for breath, while Imogene

Pale Leather, Soft as Cloth, Is Used

Combination With Chiffon.
Paris, September ls.--American wo-
men who cared for distinctive clothes
and who had the courage of their con-
victions ordered sport clothes of brown
leather last winter. They proved an
addition to the wardrobe, were weighed
in the balance by judicious women and
not found wanting. The fashion, there
fore, is likely to become fixture. one
of the trump cards that is held in the
hand when outdoor clothes are needed.
Paris, however. did not use leather for
anything so large as a frock; she was
glad 10 get it in sufficient quantities to
give to the bootmakers for shoes, and
it turned out that there was not
enough even for that necessity of COM
merce. Not that it mattered much, for
France, who has had to make a fashion
of necessity in many things that the
prodigal American throws away, made
it the style to wear shoes of all kinds
of cloth supported by leather. She
liked this type of footwear so heartily

leather there is merely a sandal of it
supported by several thongs of per-
forated kid or strong rib bon. She
knows, however, that kid is now in the
market, and although she does not in
tend to change her feet covering for
the moment she is celebrating the re-
turn to commerce of this commodity

French, this.
There was some arrangement be-
tween the dressmakers evidently, for
several houses showed kid gowns dur
ing the same week, and elaborate
preparations had been made to feature
the fabric and draw attention to it as
a novelty of merit. The Americans
still look upon it with reserve. They
know the possibilities that lie in brown
leather which suits the American win
ter climate and its outdoor life, but
when it comes to the practical qualities
of rose pink kid trimmed with peltry
of white kid perforated in Madeira
design and combined with white chif-
fon they are doubtful It's a novelty,
and it may win out. There is no rea-
son against it. 1t will wear better than

Keeping Yards Clear
Important in Strike
Nv HOLLAND

New York, September 2S.-(Special)
If the yards are kept clear then it
is possible to operate the steel and iron
plants although the force may be re-
duced. On the other hand if the yards
become clogged then it is necessary to
close down the plants, for the skilled
artisans cannot work unless they have
the material at hand. Therefore
it has meen the policy to keep the
yards open day by day in order to
prevent congestion of material in them
1t is in these yards that unskilled labor
is for the most part employed
For this reason those who are watch
| ing the progress of the strike in the
steel and iron industry, either in this
city or through Immediate communica-
tlon with representatives in other cities
say that it is Impossible to report that
although plant has been shut down
| that is due to the walking out under
union orders of all employees For
the skilled artisans find themselves in
enforced idleness because they cannot
get the material with which to work.
From this point of view it is possible
that those who are upon strike may TO
I a considerable extent and possibly for
some weeks greatly embarrasS and IN
some cases actually para1yZe the in
dustry
1t is evident that executives in the
steel industry now regard the home
stead plant and the Du queene plant
as the strategical key to the situation
| If these plants can be operated, even
to partial capacity, then the mastery
| of the situation will, according to the
/ belief of these executives, be in a little
| while, well in hand.
| Nevertheless two factors in the situa-
ton serve greatly to increase the diff
| ficulty of the executives who hope in
time to bring about peace and the re-
newal of general working conditions
The first of these factors is to be
recognized in the widespread character
! of the strike. Never before has there
been in the United States at least a
labor crisis which covered SO many
parts of the country.
Almost all OF these crises even those
which involved a large number Of
strikes have been more or less local
! This turmoil stretches from Colorado
to the Pittsburg district and apparently
| the labor leaders hops further to ex-
tend it so as to include the Bethlehem
! steel works. For this rease the exc
cutives find it more diff cat than al
| any time iii the past, to din.es. the ac-
| Invites which, have in view the ending
| of the strike

the war was in progress and the gov
eminent was placing large orders in

considerable savings. They were in
that way able to buy large amounts of
Liberty and Victory Loan bonds. Not
even the great iron and steel manu-
