Directors OF the Daily Mining Com

This calls for the regular quarterly
payment Of 10 cents a share, or $780,

will bring the Days dividends UP to

After q brief pause we went ahead.
On the evening OF August we reached
q farmyard near Duren. Our company
was billeted in q barn. No one knew
what We had to DO. Ignorant Of the
purpose Of our being sent 50 near the
Belgian border We laid down on our
beds Of straw. Something had to
happen soon to rescue us from this un-
certainty.
How few suspected that would be
the last night for many Of us on Ger
man ground. An alarm took us from
our beds at 3 q. N. The company
gathered and the captain demonstrate
ed the war situation. Al to the direc-
don Of the march he himself was ig-
norant.
Scarcely half IN hour later 50 big
trucks drove up and stopped ON the
road before our quarters. The driv-
ers also were ignorant and waited for
orders. Discussion Of our destination
started afresh. The orderlies who
had been keeping their ears open said
We would enter Belgium that day.
Others contradicted them, no one
knew for certainty.
But the order to march did not come
and In the evening we went back to
our straw. But the rest was
short. At l a. m. we were again
aroused and honored BY q speech from

NEW STYLES OF DRESS EXPLAINED
 BY EASTERN EXPERT
What the American and Parisian Maker of Fashion De- cree as Being
 Correct.

Though there is much indecision regarding new styles according to the following items from an article by an Eastern fashion reporter, there is one thing upon which both Ameri- can and Parisian fashion designers agree-that skirts MUST be long:
 Now, the reporter of fashions is being ground between these two stones. What is said today may be wrong tomorrow; what is right to- day may be fatal mistake in a few days. One must not only tell the things that are being worn, but fore cast the things that will be worn.
 Skirts Will Remain Long
 We know few things, and on these we must base most of our conclusions. We know that the che mise frock holds it's own in Paris, as in America, and we receive ca bles saying that Paris is adopting the long skirt.
 The Tunic Still With Us
 We also know that as far as the majority of well-dressed women are concerned the tunic remains in fash ion. IL is short and long, thin and thick, embroidered and plain. And yet certain American designers will have nothing to do with it and insist that only the draped skirt is smart
 That gives two wide paths to follow for the women. France sticks to the tunic. America takn3 all kinds of adventurous filings with the draped skirt and sometimes with the high-waisted Directoire effect. One of the most celebrated designers in America insists upon the Direc- toire wastline and holds to the Orien
