are an old story with US. The milliners,
to accentuate this mid Victorian Golf
fure, are putting long ringlets in their
broad brimmed hats. Hair and hat are
sold together. One of the mannequins
with Jean Patou wears golden ring
lets over her ears that fall on her neck.
and when mannequins start fashions
they are very apt to become accepted
by the populace. Jean Patou, by the
way, is one of the lesser known new
French houses, like Charlotte and Ger
maine and viennot, who cater to the
exclusive European women and to whom
the American buyers go for gowns
which they hope will not be widely
commercialized. The life of the aver
age French model is short in the sar-
torial world of America The houses
clear them out in about month, and
then there is search for something
different. 1t is to these houses that
the smart French women go for clothes
that are different from the models sold
in such large quantities by the famous
houses to the American trade. 1t is
said that Viennot will not make gown
for you unless she likes your face. She
is entirely independent of any especial
persons patronage, it would SEEM She
She says that she does not care to put
clothes on certain types of women and
that she likes to dress only the women
who recommend themselves to her
through some especial charm. Jeal
Patou Is not difficult to please, but
he caters to an exclusive trade. He
never accentuates the mode. He Goes
ner, but he modifies and moulds it to
suit the women who have the old adage
in their minds not to be the first to
accept the fashion nor the last to give
it up
WIDER, LONGER SKIRTS APPEAR
When house Of strength announces
it's intention to emphasize skirts cut with
several cores there is tumult and con-
fusion in the world of trade. 1t is all
very well for the American buyers to
insist that the American women do not
want these extra full skirts, but the
minds after they have seen everything
that Paris offers. So the gored skirt
goes along with the widely ruffled one
by Lanvin, the ripping short one by
Jenny, the godet tunic by Martial and
Armand which initiates a full skirt. the
jabot skirt of Doucet. which shows cas-
cades of material at the side, the draped
skirt of Madeleine with it's soft butterfly
drapery at the end of the spine. the
Spanish skirt by Poret and Worth's
skirt. with its short front. long back and
immense stiffened loops on the right hip.
Surely this variety is enough to confuse
a world of wmoen. Yet up until the
end of August. the movement of drapery
in all these various skirts was in a GER
tain direction: the observer felt that each
house was working out an individual
method in general scheme. and that it
only depended upon a buyers inclination
as to what method should be chosen.
Then came that actually wide skirt.

OLD RELIANCE'
STOPS IN KENOSHA

Grandfather of motor trucks but
alive with the spring and agility of
youth, "Old Reliance, the motor
truck which for eight years has carried
tons and tons of rubber tires and other
material about cities of the United
States, rolled along the streets of Ke-
nosha today. 1t is on its way to a
vacation and stopped here long enough
to be shown to various tire and motor
dealers of the city.
The vacation for the veteran truck is
not to be one of rest. This faithful old
timer is telling age old secrets on a
5000 mile trip through the heart of the
farming district of the middle west and
will demonstrate that it is easy to live
long on air. Old Reliable claims to owe
its longevity entirely to having been
shod with pneumatic tires. The tour
now being taken by the truck will take
1T through many of the leading cities Of
the middle west. It came to Kenosha
this morning from Peoria, Illinois.
3. J. Lemon, in charge Of the Reli-
ance tour, who during the war was a
captain, Quartermaster Corps, and in
command of the army transportation
along the Mexican border, in discus
sing the trip, said:
THAT three old Reliance trucks,
which have run eight years and close
to 100000 miles on United States Mob
by Truck tires. are still in existence and
doing full service, is visible and ire
futable proof that the cushioning eff
feet of the pneumatic truck tire saves
truck life, especially when we realize
that the life of the average truck is
about five years and It's service from
100000 to ~, 1000 miles.
odd Reliance is accompanied on
its trip by large White truck, both
Of which were in Kenosha all day today
and Left late this afternoon to resume

Many Grocers In the City
Finding It Impossible To
Get Sugar To Supply
Their Trade.
SMALL PACKAGES ON TAP
No Sign of Prohteering Reported In
Kenosha But Dealers Find It Diff
cult To Get Enough Sugar To
Supply Normal Demand.

Kenosha is beginning to feel the new
shortage of sugar and some of the
stores have already hung out the sign:
We have no sugar to sell, while 9TH
ers are carefully boarding a meagre
supply with view of making it go as
far as possible The price has not
jumped to the high point being demand
ed by groeers in Chicago and other eli
ties and for the most part there is no
sign of profteering in the sugar bust
ness in Kenosha. Prices of 1917 cents
a pound were quoted on sugar by down
town grocers today, but it was admit
ted that they had very limited sup
ply and that the quantity to be sold to
each person would be limited to not
over two pounds. One of the largest
dealers in the city expressed gratifca-
ton over the fact that he had been
able to get a hundred pounds Of sugar
from a Chicago wholesaler.
The reorganization Of the food con
troll in Wisconsin has never been COM
pleted and the state Is taking no part
in governing the distribution Of the
sugar. Many people are declaring to-
day that they are unable to get sugar
at any price and many complaints have
been received. Wholesale dealers in
sugar have announced that they are
doing everything in their power to keep
Kenosha supplied with a little sweet
ness but they admit that it is very
difficult to secure deliveries of sugar
which they have on order.
These dealers declined to make any
statement as to probable increases in
the price Of sugar. 'fIf tie people
could buy stores Of sugar it might be
of interest to warn them of advancing
prices, Z said one dealer, but as it is
impossible to get even a normal supply,
it is probably just as well to say moth
ing about it. :,

BIG BOOSTER TRIP
OFF UNTIL TUESDAY
Heavy Rain of Tuesday Night Plays
Havoc With Roads and Make It
Impossible to Make Tour.

Well, it did rain pitchforks Tuesday
night and put the dirt part of the Ke-
nosha roads in such muddy condition
that the Kenosha Retailers Booster trip
had to be called off. Secretary H. G.
Maddox this morning called up all the
country towns on the route and notified
them that the trip will not be made.
However, the trip will be made on
next Tuesday, October z, and all ar
rangements made for Thursday will be
carried out then. Perhaps the hardest
thing about this postponement of the
trip is that the merchants and their
friends who will accompany them are
10th to prolong the time that must
elapse until they have an opportunity
to put themselves outside of the fine
luncheon which was being prepared
for them by the ladies of Wilmot
where they were going to stop to re
fresh the inner man.
But the condition in which the roads
were rendered by the heavy rain OF
Tuesday night, made it impossible for
She merchants to attempt to make the
trip. The sixty automobiles which
were to make the trip would do aplen4y
Ito the dirt roads when they are cry
and to try to make the trip with
the roads as they are today would make
them a series Of mud-h wherever
they hirt the dirt
| But five days is not long to wait and
the Booster trip will be made on kAe
same schedule next Tuesday.

PETITION FILED
WITH COMMISSION
City Formally Asks RaiI-
road Commission For Ex-
tension of Local Service
ia n or t h. 49,
MAY DISCUSS ENTIRE PLAN
Commissioner Allen Is Expected To
Announce Data For Hearing When
He Comes To Kenosha On
Next Wednesday.

The formal petition of the city sf
Kenosha to the Railroad Commission OF
Wisconsin asking for the extension Of
the local service of the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric Company from the present
terminal on Milwaukee to the North
Limits Of the city, was filed with the
commission ou Tuesday by City Attor-
ney John G. Slater and it is expected
that the date for hearing to be held
IN Kenosha, will be announced bv tho
commission within the next ten DAYS
The petition is supplementary to q
petition filed with the commission some
time ago by property owners residing
in the neighborhood Of the great fac
tories at the North Limits of the city.
1t recites in detail the acute need Of
further local service in order to provide
transportation facilities for workmen
employed in these great plants.
In The petition to III commission
Gssy Attos4sy Slater has followed c,ese.
ly the demands Of the Common Council
and the only matter laid before the
commission is the extension of the local
service to the north of the present
terminal. 1t is just possible that when
the commission comes to Kenosha for
the hearing that the other matters con-
neeted with proposed extensions of the
street railway service will be taken up
and discussed at length, but the hear
ing will be definitely on the one ques-
ton of extensions to the north. The
question has been informally before
the commission and it is believed that
the commission win arrange to give it
a very early decision.
Commissioner Allen will be in Keno
sha on Monday morning for the hearing
in regard to the heating rates and it is
thought possible that he will at that
time announce the date set for the hear
ing on the railway extensions.
1t is not expected that the question
of the interurban cars coming into the
city win be discussed-other than in
formaly-as the petition of the city
makes no suggestion of this acute issue.
It is expected that more than a
hundred witnesses will be called by the
city to appear before the commission at
the hearing and show the members the
demand for this additional service.

August Darres, Aged 80
Years, Is Instantly Killed
Sunday Night When Hit
By Northwestern Train.
COMPANION ESCAPES INJURY

August Darres, aged 80 years, re-
turned soldier, was instantly killed just
after eight o'clock Sunday evening
when he was struck by the south bound
North Western passenger train due at
Somers at $50 while walking on the
tracks of the company near the LIGHTER
road about one mile south Of the vii
lage Of Somers. The train was stopped
Immediately and the crew hurried to
where the man had been thrown but he
was dead when they reached him. An
examination of the body showed that
he had been struck just behind the left
ear and that he had his left arm broken.
1t is also believed that he suffered se-
we're, internal injuries.
The engineer Of the Hdeath train =
declared that he had seen two men
walking along the tracks and for three
hours the crew searched for the com
panion Of Darres. This morning it was
learned that the other man was an old
beet Weeder of the Somers community
known ask" Chris but that he had
escaped injury and had run away from
the scene of the accident because of
fright. 1t is said that the accident was
caused by reason of the fact that a
wreck farther north had put the south
bound train on the track on the right
hand side and that Darres, thinking
that he had stepped out of the path of
the train as it regularly run, had not
| even looked back to see which track
lit was on He was thrown several feet
| by the train but the body was not bad
/ ~ bruised by the blows.
| The train crew took the body Of
Darres to the station at RAINY where
Coroner Truman Parker was notified OF
| the accident Later in the evening. af-
ter an investigation of the accident had
been made, the body was brought to
Kenosha. Coroner Parker declared to-
day that he did not believe that an in
quest over the body would be necessary
inasmuch as the investigation which be
had held had shown clearly that the
death had been caused by accident
The victim of the accident had been
a United States soldier from the town
of Somers and had returned early this
spring after several months service
overseas. Since that time he had been
employed by several farmers Of that
vicinity and more recently had work ed

Steel Company
Head Declines to
Enter Conference
Tells Senate Investigating Committee
That His Company Will Not Treat
With Union Labor.
nv IInited Press !,

Washington, Oct. Judge e. a..
Gary, head of the United States Steel
Corporation today fatty refused to
deal with Union Labor. His attitude
was shown at the hearing before the
Senate Labor Committee, in the face
of repeated questions he stood without
budging from his contention that to
deal with Union Labor would result in
a closed shop - such a thing which
he declared would be inimical to the
country and its industrial prosperity.
Charges that the United States Steel
corporation has mistreated its employ
es are without vestige of truth, =
Judge Gary declared. Gary was the
first witness representing the employ
ers to be heard by the committee in
vestigating the steel strike. 1T has
been well known for the last few
years that the labor unions have been
attempting to organize in their own
way the employees Of the United States
Steel corporation subsidiaries, Gary
said. There is no basic industry in
this country or in the world which has
paid higher wages to its employees than
the steel corporation or has treated
them with greater respect or consider
alton than the stel corporation. Gary
offered the committee figures which he
said would prove the truth of his
statements. 1t has been charged that
during the existing strike some of our
subsidiary companies have been guilty
OF attacking and mistreating the strik-
ers, Gary continued. 'SThat is with
out foundation. There isn't vestige
of truth in it. Gary oauieG tbs.t Mrs.
Fannie sReliiag was killer. any one
connected with the steel corporation or
its subsidiaries. He said she was kill
ed at Breckenridge, Pa, and that his
company has no works or employees
there. Gary said some investigation
had been made. "Our orders are alb
solutely against anything of that kind
anywhere, any time, he added. He
said that employees around the coal
mines were defending themselves from
attacks of strikers. You know how
they do things" Gary said. Throw
ing bricksbats and that kind of
thing.

MISERY DEEPENS
IN BOX-CAR MYSTERY
Fact That Car Was Soaked Leads to
Further Conjecture Regarding Muir
der of Man Pound Here Monday.

The mystery surrounding tie murder
and robbery unearthed on Monday
evening when workmen at the Simmons
Company found the mangled body of a
murdered man In the corner of box
car, grew deeper today when no reports
the murder. Coroner Parker has found
that the car, contrary to all custom
with empty cars, reached Kenosha seal
ed and it is believed that this may
have some bearing on the solution OF
the crime This has led to theory
that the crime might have been coms
mitted by a brak eman or some ems
ployee of the railway who would have
had the instruments to seal the car and
thus help conceal the crime. Officials
of the North Western here have carried
on an investigation of the affair but
as yet have been unable to find where
the car was sealed. 1t was learned Of
surety that the car left Alton, Iowa.
on the 25th of September and reached
ProYiso Junction in Illinois the saml
day. The crime might have been com
mitted at either of these places os
might even have happened before the
car reached Alton, although this is less
probable.
The American Railway Express Com
pany has not been able to throw any
light on the mystery by tracing down
the express package receipt which was
found in the dead man poeketbook.
Inquiries at the various addresses given
on cards found in the man IS pocket
have also resulted in failure to ind
anything new in regard to him

Efficient Agricultural Agent
Of the County Resigns
Position and Will Leave
November 1st.
TAKES PLACE AT UNIVERSITY
Has Been Most Successful In His Two
and a Half Years Work In Kenosha
County and County Solons Express
Regret AT His Leaving.

Griffith Richards, for the past two
and a half years agricultural agent OF
Kenosha county, today handed his re-
signation to the county board of super
visors with the understanding that he
is to give up his work here on the first
Of November.
Mr.. Richards resigns to accept call
to be an assistant to Prof. A. r. Whit
son, professor of soils at the University
Of Wisconsin. The new position not
only offers to Mr. Richards consider
able increase in salary but it also offers
a wonderful opportunity for advance
ment.
81 regret deeply to give up this very
pleasant work in Kenosha county,
said Mr.. Richards, in announcing his
resignation, but | feel that this work
at the university offers me an oppor-
tunity for advancement in my profess
sion which | can not afford to overlook.
The work. is well organized in Kenosha
county and / feel sure that the mem
bers Of the county board will be able
to get man who will take up the WORK
and continue it without any serious in
terruption. We have lots of work
scheduled for the next few months and
for this reason it is desirable that
man be secured at once to carry out
the program"
Members Of the county board, with
out exception, expressed regret that
Mr. Richards was giving up his work
with the county He was the first agri-
cultural agent for Kenosha county and
he has done a wonderful work in organ
ling the county His work has proved
popular with the people in the rural
communities Of the county and it has
been of inestimable value in bringing
better conditions on Kenosha county
farms. Every feature of farm work
has been organized under the direction
of Mr.. Richards and it was his splendid
work in this county that attracted the
attention of the University of Wiscon-
sin to the county agent. The offer OF
the splendid position at the university
came without any application on the
part of Mr.. Richards and he knew moth
ing of it until the formal offer of ap-
pointment came.
There is no doubt but that the coun-
tn board will provide for the continu
ance of this most valuable work for the
farmers of the county and that a new
agricultural agent will be secured just
as soon as man able to take over and
continue the work of Mr.. Richards can
be found. Several men are said to be
ready to apply for the position just as
soon as the resignation has been &C
cepted.
During the two and half years
that Agent Richards has been in Keno
sha, he has taken very active part
in many big movements. He was ont
of the most active of the war workers
of the county and under his supervision
many big war movements were organ
lied and carried out Kenosha county
owes much to him for the ability h,
has shown not only in the organization
of the work of his own office but
great amount of work which has beer
affiliated with the office
