The uncorseted figure. and especially the fashion for an abdominal curve. is no. a caprice; it is a deep seated psycno- logical movement arrived at between the French government the leaders of society and the dressmakers. It is in tended to be significant. The uncor- seted figure should not go with the Spanish skirt for the silhouette is very poor and much must be done by the American dressamkers to modify this silhouette to suit American taste All clothes are accentuated and exagger- ated in Paris at the beginning of the season. but everyone knows that they intend to convey a definite idea which will be accepted and modified accord Ing to the nations that adopt it. If these skirts with the immense hem dimensions were introduced in Paris for the first time this season Amer jeans could disregard them until next spring. but they were introduced in F'eb1uary; they were accepted by Paris in June among it's selected leaders, and now they are offered as a we'll defined fashion. What will America
 do about it? That is the leading ques- ton over here Paris is no lon2er cocksure about our ability to cbpy French fashions; she has had several distinct shocks in the last year and
 they have put her in strang mood.

 Calling on shippers to continue the CO., operation which made them so patriot ically he,pfuF' during the war. MT. Hines said that despite the delivery of more than 800 new cars to the railroads each working day, reviving business was making demands which could not be met without obtaining the greatest possible utility from the existing limited facili- ties Prominent in the causes making for a transportation shortage he men toned unusually heavy grain and coal movements and construction of public highways in al, ra<ts of the country.
 Shippers Of freight can assist" MT. Hines said, 'by loading all cars to full visible or carrying capacity, by prompt loading and release to the carrier, by ordering 7ars only when actually re- quired, by eliminating the use of rail- way equipmebr in transport or transfer of tonnage when it can be handled by motor truck or wagon and by reducing the diversion and reconsignment of cars to a minimum.
 Receivers of freight can assist by prompt unloading of cars and notice thereof to the carrier, by ordering goods in quantities representing the full safe carrying capacity of cars and disregard ing trade units, by ordering from the nearest available source, and by pooling orders so as to secure full car loads
 With X strong concerted effort on the part of the railroad administration and the shippers ard receivers of freight, it is hoped that during the period of abnor- mally heavv traffic with which we are .r.rxr fsf,vr rf..-1 t11 ton needs may be met with reasonable satisfaction to all parties

 This is the time to look to the bulbs The gladiolus bulbs and the canna bulbs and the dahlla bulbs or roots must all be taken up after the first frosts and stored in a cool, dark place. If you have such place in your eel lar. make use of it. But it must be a cool spot not dark hole behind the furnace. And it must also be dry
 This is also the time to put in bulbs, before the heavy frosts come. The bulbs must be put below the surface far enough so that they will not be forced out by frost. Tulip bulbs ought to be planted three inches below the surface at least. and the smaller bulbs not so far down.

The Fashion Which Calls for Buckram
 on the Hips, Giving the Panier Eff
 feet of the Seventeenth Century,
 Has Been Definitely Exploited in the New Skirts and Accepted in
 Paris
 Paris, September 12.-Fashion. like history, goes round in cycles. Nothing is new, yet everything appears new to the generation that greets it. Even though We have seen certain fashion in the recent past we regard 1t as something quite clever and new when it reappears. It unsettles our minds, it impels us to buy new clothes. it sweeps away the clothes we possess. Many women insist that they are brave enough to defy the whirlgigs of fashlcn and wear the garment of yes- terday if it is suitable, attractive and not conspicuous But this is idle boasting. It is alleged courage. One weakens as the season advances and ones neighbors appear in clothes which, as MT. Joseph Choate was fond tion from your clothes. Discomfort sets in. Ambition grows. Then one starts out defiantly to the shops or calls in a home dressmaker and the deed is done. The old wine has been poured into new bottles or the purse has been emptied for new raiment. When the economists preach uniform : ity and continuity of style they are beating the air in vain. They are working against human nature. When a woman. therefore. finds out that the new skirt bulges on the hipes she will look askance at her skirt which clings to the hipe. This is exactly the sitLa- tion among women in Paris today. The dominant dressmakers have worked

PITCHING RECORDS
 IN FINAL BATTLE

Chicago, October 9.-Hod Eller was far less effective In the concluding game of the worlds series today than on last Monday, but the pitching andy sis proved him plenty good enough in comparison with the brand of hurling displayed by the three White Six pitch CTS. They had to throw 163 times in nine innings. while Filler tried his arm 1SO times.
 Eller missed the plate 40 times giv- ing 30 balls and hitting a batsman in the ninth inning. The Chicago trio was wide of the plate 65 times, having 63 bad ones called on them and hitting two of the visitors. More than half of these poor pitches were charged to Big BilP' James. whose inability to find the corners caused his removal early in the sixth inning. Wilkinson's control was none too good either, as evidenced by the 26 wide pitches in four innings.
