EFFECT OF WAR ON
WOMEN'S DRESS

With the signing Of the armistice
thousands of American women la'd
aside their working uniforms. y. W

retained for reconstruction war serv-
ice laid aside their pretty horizon
blue suits. Y. NJ. c. a. workers, re-
called from the overseas corps, gov
eminent employees mustered out of
service and thousands of girls in mt
milton factories are now facing new
period in womens dress. The war has
changed the general trend of styles for
all women.
Comfort. with no unnecessary furbe-
lows has been the keynote of the war
workers uniform. Women in w'r
work discovered to their great joy that
they did not have to do much thinking
about their cloths. Uncle Sam, the
IS. W. c. A., Y. NJ G. A. and the Rel
Cross did their thinking for them, AMI
il was done so well that it is extremely
doubtful If the business women viii
ever be suited with anything less prac-
teal
Once having been used to pockets
everywhere in her skirt and in the
coat of her suit, no woman will ever
again be satisfied with only the make
shift of hand bag. The war taught
women that pockets in their suits and

Dame Fashion, with nearly all Of her
creators in the trenches, has been
pretty much out Of job But from
( the war she has drawn a wealth Of new
ideas for he things that women VIII
wear in 1919. She has put bit Of sold

feather worn by n popular regiment in
her bonnet and got her clothes on'the

This Is the first war that has ever
seen women in uniform. New aud
slraighter lines and more direct
simplicity IN everything that women
wear will be the first outcome Of this
innovation in war time fashions.

EXPERTS TO CONSIDER
COTTON WASTE BY FIRE

long step toward the solution of
various problems connected with the
insurance of cotton is expected to be
taken at the world cotton conference,
to he held at New Orleans in October
Underwriters are keenly interested in
The conference. as they hope to make
II a means of inducing shippers, as
well as growers Of cotton. to adopt
safer methods for the handling of
cotton. Some Of the reforms to be
discussed at the conference. such as
better packing and the elimination Of
country damage. will indirectly help
the underwriters, as thousands of
bales of cotton are lost yearly by the
waste that occurs in the transporta-
ton of cotton from the field to the
gin and from the gin to the ware
house, and thence to the mill. How
ever, by far the greatest waste oc-
curing in cotton is due TO fires. This
loss, in the opinion of underwriters.
exceeds that by country damage by
many thousands of bales. Some OF
the largest fires in recent years have
represented cotton fires, and under
writer's feel that. if the consumers OF
cotton are looking for a place to save
cotton, they can do no better than to
start at the FIRE waste. This belief
they will bring clearly home to the
delegates to the conference in Octo-
Der. and their views will no doubt be
patheticaliy received, as the
prospective world shortage of cotton
Acareful In handling the staple than
ever before, while the high price ;
