MANY WITHOUT WAIST LINE
Latest Creations Have capes of Lace or PIaited Chiffon Covering En- tire Upper Part of the
 Figure.

Two women were discussing the subject of clothes. Said one:
 Do you dress to please yourself pr to please others?'
 "Why, to please others, of course," was the reply.
 The questioner smiled.
 ''Would you mind taking off that despised it."
 The silence which ensued was quite thick enough to feel.
 Perhaps, writes a prominent fashion correspondent, this little story illus trates the futility of even attempting to please Most of us, I am sure, dress the best we can with the means at hand-those means in the bank and those the manufacturers create. Now and then one comes across those radi- ant persons who not only dress to please themselves but succeed in pleasing every one else as we'll.

 know of no other word with which to describe the fashions of the hour than picturesque. To be picturesque seems to be the aim of all who make and those who wear feminine apparel. Certainly there is quaintness and charm about present moment modes which warrants the term.

The charming Ffrock is not in the least fantastic or bizarre but picturesque to the last de- gree and is the sort of thing a young woman would affect for her gayest moments.
 It begins to look as if the waist is to disappear altOgether-that is the waistline, l mean, for the newest creations show not only no line where ones waist is but many gowns and blouses have capes of lace or accordi- on-plaited chiffon set over the shoul- ders and entirely covering the upper part of the figure. This effect is achieved in a gown of black Spanish lace, the skirt of which has several lace f1ounces placed one above the other on a foundation of black satin. A deep girdle of burnt orange and sil- yer brocade form what there is of the bodice and tight cape of the lace buttons snugly around the neck and fits as smoothly as cap over the shoulders.

 tions for street dresses of the chemise and one-piece effects show in the col lection only two colors, in fact, brown and black.
 The soft fabrics, such as duvetyn, velours and kittens ear, have pushed all others aside. Serge, we hear, is to have rest, along with all of the kindred fabrics of surface rougher than the velvety velours family The embroidery is done by hand in the same shade as the dress material and the extremely heavy embroidery silk is used. Redingote effects, with their long slender lines, are leading all others at this time.
 Sand and Fan Tones.
 As companion to the brown shades destined for early fall and winter wear sand and tan tones are often seen. There are, by the way, several new shades-faisOn brown, which has l reddish cast tiSOn, which is rust red; peace blue and jade; COrinthe and AdriatiC, also blues. The cOmbina tion of brown and green is striking and unusual enough to please the most ardent searcher after novel eff feet. It is deftly done by placing strips of a jade green along a brown background and yelling the green strips with thin fabric of brown or a heavy open mesh braid through which the green is flecked.
 White and marigold yellow also present a new color combination of which the possibilities are limitless. We learn that London is more inter- ested just now in clothes for the de- butantes than in all else-that is, LondOn's smart world, for there are the accumulated debutantes of the past five years to be presented at this years drawing rooms, since the Eng fish king and queen held no social gatherings during the war Because of the vast number of young girls to appear before their majesties the regulation court cos tune with it's long, long train, veil and Prince of Wales feathers will not be required this season at the several drawing rooms, but the London mak- CTS are creating wonderful afternoon costumes. Hence these lighter col Ored effects such as the vogue of marigOld and white-sO closely are we in this country in touch with matters over there that 1t is only natural that the mode of their moments should reach us, too.
 War Over Short Skirts and Sleeves.
 Paris continues to wear it's skirts and sleeves just as short as possible, and consequently we are having gay little dressmakers' war in this land as to just the length for American skirts, for the "ten inches from the floor" rule has quite as many followers as has the five-inch adherents. It is said that many Americans buyers had or dered French dresses with heightened skirts for the American trade, but when these arrived the general effect of the dress was impaired and the buyers followed the French designers ideas.
 Returning to the picturesque note so pervasive, the newest evening gowns for young women show one piece velvets entirely unrelieved by the slightest bit of color other than the dress itself.

Rich Men Who Refuse

SALT LAKE, Utah, Sept. 25.-Al-
though labor conditions in the state
of Utah are about as normal as any
where in the United States. Cover
nor Bamberger, leading banker and
copper company director, declared in
talking to an eastern newspaper cor
respondent, that this state was sur
rounded by an angry sea of unrest
I'VE are facing the most serious
crisis in this country since the Civil
war;" said the banker. "Although
there are no extensive strikes in
Utah, the general spirit of unrest
throughout the country reaches here,
It is like an epidemic. 1t spreads
like the Influenza"
'The great trouble is that the peo-
pie who can and ought to take the
lead in solving our Industrial problems
are the most unreasonable. There are
ten or twelve millionaires in this city
who cannot see their own faults and
who are always complaining about
strikes and labor unrest: They are
the worst offenders in the United
States.
'They create the radicals because
they begrudge the puor man a living

railroad for 80 years and I have never
had a strike. I have never had the
slightest fear that anything would
happen. "-:'.,

There has been too much Of a spirit

POISON FARMERS
: AGAINST UNIONS
Set-Sty|ed Farm Leaders, Say
Labor Is Responsible for
High Cost Of Living 6.

A strong appeal to the farmers of
the country to unite with labor in the
battle against the common enemy of
monopollstic control, and to repudiate
those self-styled farm leaders" who
are now attacking labor as being re-
sponsible for the hign cost Of living,
is made by George P. Hampton, man.
aging director of the Farmers Ma
tional council.
The seriousness of the farm stu-
ation,' Mr. Hampton says, "requires
most careful consideration of the eco
nomic factors of production It is
most unfortunate that some farm
leaders have seized upon the present
situation to attack labor as RESPONSE
BILE for the high cost Of living. Such
action necessarily plays into the hands
of the privileged classes of the coun-
try which have always striven to drive
wedge between the farmers and the
other labor forces of America. It is
a testing time for American farmers.
The predatory interests are working
overtime to divide the farmers and to
get them to go off on false leads"
Pointing out that nothing funda-
mental can be done in solving the cost
of-living problem aru it's accompany-
ing industrial unrest until there is
state ownership and democratic oper-
alton of natural resources, Mr.. Hamp-
ton continues:
"The natural resources of America
basic raw material for all industries,
are largely monopolized in private
ownership, while the United States
congress is attempting practically to
give away it's resources yet remaining
under public ownership" CA reference
to the infamous oil and mineral leas-
ing bill recently passed by the senate.)

Federal Trade Commissioner
Makes Startling Charges
Against Spectators.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Unadul-
terated profiteering is the cause for
present prices, declared VIM. C. COL
yer, chairman Of the federal trade
commission in speech in this city.
All talk about inflated currency
dislocation of industry because men
joined the military service, turning
Of industrial plants into munitions
factories and similar reasons are but
"smoke screens for the profiteer, said
the speaker.
''They tell you that industries were
dislocated by turning factories and
mills over to war production" he de-
clared. This is not a sufficient reas-
on for the high cost Of living. They
tell you that the initiation of currency
is another cause. But currency in
this country is not as inflated as peo-
pie think. The heavy exports of
of foodstuffs and cholthing are
talked Of as a contributing factor. But
all OF these reasons are not sufficient
to account for the present situation.
They are being used as "smoke
screens in the operation of the most
completely devised campaign of prof
iteering any country ever saw"
In January, he declared, as much
or more than 80 per cent of packed
foods. dried fruits and other food
stuffs had been bought by spectators
before the fruit had ripened on the
trees. Fish. which would inhabit riv-
ers several months subsequently. were
sold~before the ice had left their riv-
ers, he declared. In these deals who
would sell the products, not once. but
many times, would be paid by the con-
sumer. This profiteering, he indicat-
ed, is regarded by experts as one Of
the basic reasons for the high cost of
living.
