EVENING FROCKS

Rainbow frocks that combine a medley of brilliant colors are attrac- tive, and not so well launched es to /e too usual. The rainbow frock solves the question:: What is the vic- tory coIor?" For in the rainbow dress we can combine the various cOlors that have been suggested, and hence be sure of getting the right one. One delightful rainbow frock included purple, blue and gold, green, black rose and henna; yet there was noth ing unrestricted or barbaric in the eff feet. Any young woman with q good eye for combining contrasting colors ought to be able to design q rainbow dancing frock that would be original and attractive.
 While the sleeveless evening frock is still seen, many of the French models designed for less formal even- ing occasions show sleeves that termi- nate only an inch OF so above the elbow, leaving a line that is very be- coming to the young woman with well shaped rounded elbows; but one that had better not be attempted by the woman with oyerdeveloped elbows or by the woman with bony arms,
 Some brilliant evening froeks are still made of black, which combines extremely well with metallic cloth or metallic lace, A French froek that would be worth studying shows an un- derskirt of silver jersey finished at the bottom with a. narrow fringe, At either side there are two gathered panels of black velvet that extend to the bottom of the underskirt. The bodice is a fairly deep neck with the new sleeves that end just above the elbow, and at both neck and sleeves the velvet comes in direct line with the skin, unrelieved by tulle or lace.

JOBS FOR SOLDIERS

people are called upon to meet at the
present time. Another feature of the
efforts of all the residents of the state
is desired In assuring every returning
soldier a job when he reaches home.

of the economic policy of the country.
To this end a movement is under way

ward backing the soldiers of the coun-

started In both the Methodist and
Catholic churches several weeks ago

is desired to be extended to every
church in the state, and President
Wilson has cabled his strong endorse
ment of such a movement.
The Federal Employment Service
desires to enlist every church in the
land in this movement, and the minis
ters of all the churches In the state
are requested to o at their
next Sunday service an intent to take
a part in this movement on May 4th,
TO assist in seeing that every return
ing soldier will be certain that he
will find employment on his return
home.
In brief the general plan is through
church organizations or committees
of active business men to look after
returning soldiers and to see that they
are placed in positions, wherever they
are not able to readily find such
places for themselves. Such organi-
cations can prevent any complaints
of lack of ability to find positions
through a very little activity or their
part. and the ministers of the differ.

organizations or committees lined up
for this work. Chas. McCaffree,

INSURANCE BENEFITS SOLDIER
Continued from Page u

The government is offering six types
of policies: Ordinary life; 20 pay life;
80 pay life; 20 year endowment; 80
year endowment, and an endowment
60. These policies are similar to pol
icies of the same type issued by reg
ular life insurance companies. The
premiums on these policies may be
paid monthly, quarterly, half-yearly Or
yearly, as desired, and the insured
may change from one method of pay
ment to another at any time he chose
to do so. If pair monthly, the pre-
MUM will be due on the irst day OF
the month, but may be paid any time
during the month.
Policies may be reduced at any time,
but not increased. There will be no
medical examination required when
converting to the new forms of poll
cies. There is no restriction as to
occupation, residence or travel. The
proceeds of all policies are non-tax-
able. The insurance is unassignable
and free from the claims Of creditors.
Dividends will be paid on these poll
cies annually. These dividends may
be taken in cash or deducted from
the premium, or may be left with the
government to accumulate at CON-
pound interest.
Cash values on these policies are
provided and the full value may be
obtained at any time, after the end Of
the first year. Loans may also be
made on the policies up to 94% of
the cash value. In the event the in
sured finds it necessary to lapse his
policy, he may take paid-up insurance,
extended insurance or may receive the
actual value of the policy in cash.
However, the disability clause is no
longer in force when the option of
paid-up insurance or extended insur-
ance is taken. In case of death. all
policies are payable to the beneficiary
in 240 monthly installments. The en-
dowment policies are payable to the
insured in a lump sum, If he lives out
the period of the endowment. All
policies contain a disability clause
which provides for payments to the
assured in the event of total and per-
manent disability. The insured will
receive, during the period of total dis
ability, 1915 a month for each $1,000
of insurance carried. If the insured
lives less than 20 years. after disabil-
ity, his beneficiary will receive the
remaining payments necessary to COM
plete the 20 years.

A great wal has been fought and
won. We backed the government in
the declaration of war. We backed
the president in the call for volun-
teers. We backed the military arms
in a tremendous response to the draft,
which was met with enthusiasm and
in the spirit Of service. Four times
before we have bought bonds accord
ing to the injunction of the secretary
of the treasury until it hurt"
There are still men to bring home,
and there are still bills to pay. 1t
is u%nthinkable that the Ninth District
will even hesitate to pay its just share
of the obligations Of it's government.
When we buy bonds, we pay these OBJ
legations. We must buy bonds out of
our savings and out of u prospective
savings. The slogan now is, therefore,
Buy, Save and Pay Up"
The Ninth Districts quota will be
fair. The terms and rate of interest
will, | am sure be fair-fair to the
government and fair to the subscrib-
ers. In the last loan we proved that,
though large, We could meet the
call of the government, not only in
full, but with a heavy over-subscrip-
ton. If we were being asked to do
some new thing, we might hesitate,
but when we are only asked to do
again what we have done in splendid
fashion before, there surely can be no
question as to the result.
Many thousands of our boys, thank
God, have come back safe and sound
to us, but some have not come back.
AS we go into the Victory Loan cam
paign, let us remember that because
of those who have not come back, ii
is not and could never be simply a
matter of business. 1t is a matter of
honor, sentiment, and of moral obli-
cation as well. Let us keep in mind
through this drive just one phrase
from one of the most wonderful poems
of the war. $4,000 Americans died in
France, and left a job for us to finish.
IF we break faith
with us who die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields"
We have not kept faith until we
bring all the boys home and have paid
every bill incurred.

AT last. after years of hopes and
dreams, the realization of our fond
est expectations seem about TO be re-
allied Paved streets, which we once
pictured Il our imagination; a bril-
liant Main street, TO greet the morn
ing and evening visitor who arrives
BY the early and late trains: almost
dustless summer days, when a walk
about the city would be pleasant; a
pleasant high way leading TO State
College; all these seem about to be
realized by the action OF the city
council on Tuesday evening. Support
ed by TIE property owners assisted by
committees from the Commercial
Club, these things are now about to
happen and BrooKngs take the place
that she is entitled % among the cities
of the northwest, on o OF her
surroundings, advantages and wealth.
All things come TO him who waits, it
has been said, and as we have waited
patiently so long for this to take place,
so we are all the more thankful that
the time has arrived when we can re-
joice I'm the awakening spirit of Brook
ings and give our help to making a
better as well as a Greater Brook
ings." This city will have fifteen
thousand population in the next five
years.
