Keeping Workers Amused

"rThe greatest problem with workers IS
keeping them amused" says ]. II. Conner, who Is
in charge of the welfare work at the United
States Explosives Plant &c" at Nitro, w. Va. For
unless the workers able to find entertainment
they won't work.
"At the present time there $1,000 workmen
at Nitro and it is planned to increase that number
to 10000. But despite the high wages it is diff
cult to keep the $4,000 there. Wages are almost
unbelievably high. For example: Office boys are
started at SIS month stenOgraphers at 500,
and I have the weekly pay envelopes OF
many carpenters with more than 500 inside.
However it is an actual fact that 20 per cent OF
the workmen who are transported there at the
expense Of the government disappear en- route
and more than so per cent of those who arrive DO
not stay more than two or three days.
"You see Nitro is a new town about twelve
miles from Charlestown, w. Va. It's in dry Sec
ton of the country with absolutely nothing to at
tract workers except high wages. And as soon
as the majority of workers save bank roll they
depart for pleasanter and wetter climes.
THAT'S why welfare department has been es-
tablished at this plant where million pounds OF
powder will be manufactured daily when every
thing is in operation. 1t was found that unless
the men amused when they finished their
work they simply wouldn't reman-no matter
what wages paid.
"Of course do all the welfare work that Is
being done in the most modern plants. We have
various kinds of hospitals, free medical attention
and all that sort of thing. We fill the teeth
of the workmen free of charge. Houses are be-
ing built that the wOrkmen may bring their
families and there is everything for their crea-
ture comforts but that isn't enough The work.
men miss the excitement of life in the big cities
they miss the lights, the rush and that feeling
of being in the SWIM, so to speak. While they
were merely OnlOokers they felt that they were
taking part In the days events. When they get
to Nitro they soon become dissatisfied and de-
pressed.
"A person who has never worked in place Of
this kind cannot appreciate how essential amuse-
ment is to his we'll being But must say that we

The new main boulevards laid

Callot's Mummy Frocks.

is a combination of Roman and Egyp-
tiaE.
ca'Iot's Mummy Frocks.
The house of Callot also accentu-
ates change in the silhouette from
what we have had from other French
houses. 1t is nothing new under tbs
name of Callot, for it was advanced
last February and we called it the
mummy silhouette, for want of bet"
ter name. The gown is really bag,
with square sleeves and tight ankles.
1t is in striking contrast to the
straight, chemise tunics of nearly all
the other French houses.
This season 1t is not so pronounced
in its baglike proportions. 1t takes
on more Of the atmosphere of q gown
intended for live, and not lay,
figure. 1t pulls upward in drapery
around the knees and ankles, has a
closer line to the figure under the
arms, and depends for its beauty upon
Indian embroidery that spreads itself
in sharp points down the front from
shoulders nearly to knees. This Is
usually done in copper tones of silk
floss.
Outside of this peculiar silhouette
which the 'dressmaker exploits more
than the public adopts, are the draped
Roman and Grecian gowns which are
also in direct contrast to the chemise
tunic.
And here is another decolletage
which is a change from October and
which is seen In black velvet gowns {;
tie fabric isncut to the bone of the
neck in back and then downward in a
deep U In front. It is edged with a
three-inch collar Of antique ivory lace
which is slightly full, but caught to
the fabric, so that it may rest flat and
steady. This extends nearly to the
waistline, and where the lower part
rounds itself out over the figure, there
Is straight tucker of fiat tulle GOV.
cred with lace.
This is an eighteenth century decol.
letage and is far more becoming to
any woman than the severity of the
half low, medieval line.

Details Of Changes.
1t might make interesting reading
to run over the fashions of last month
and those of this month at the points
where they differ. In other days, we
would have called it the Sterilization
of fashions, for November was the
month to expect that kind Of shaping
down into settled serenity after the
turmoil of October. But one does not
feel that anything is stabilized today
not even in the apparel business, espe-
cially under the stimulus of new con-
ditions. AS the war changes, we
change.
1t might better be explained by say
ing that this month, much has been
discarded that was considered first
class in October. Those who showed
their gowns late in the season prac>
tlcally eliminated many of the over
popular French models that arrived in
September. The public, guided by
these dressmakers, therefore, had the
opportunity to avoid what was com.
monplace and overdue. Say what you
