Fashion Letter
Written for
THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL
By MARGARET ROBE

New York. Aug. 2S.-The fluffy
ruffly wisp of femininity appears to be
a wee bit disregarded by Dame Fall
Fashion. and it is her sturdy, tweed
clad sister that is getting the cream of
attention. It's a fact that the huge
wardrobe which this old sartorial
Dame has hoisted upon the back of
the world this year is about three
fourths full of sports clothes. and such
raiment as is not typically sportish
shows the sport tendency in line and
color.
Coats are represented by a bevy of
three-quarter lengths in sturdy home
spuns. rough weave plaids. or even
feathers that are loose in cut, baggy
at the sleeve and topped with immense
shawl collars of self-mater or long
furs such as opossum or raccoon.
Most of these are tan in color and oc-
casionally trimmed with scroll designs
cut from patent leather.
Short, much-pleated skirts of every
c. animation plaid are worn with these
sport top-coats. Either the accordion
or side-pleats are used and some skirts
show a combination of plain material
with gusset pleated insets. Narrow at
tached belts fastening with buckles or
large buttons trim the skirts, and there
seem to be no pockets. Altho few
plain colors are shown, the piaids are
not so bright as in former days. Black
and white combinations are very good
and all effects use a background of
black. taupe, tan or deep blue. Very
few touches of scarlet. orange. or
emerald are shown. An interesting in
novation is given by the ring-around
effect of stripes. as most materials run
crosswise this year rather than length
wise as has been the case so many
former years.
The sweater craze is developed in a
dozen different modes but the tie
back, surplice effect continues in IA
vor. Black and white is a leading col
or, and tricolette the favored material.
A combination of new pleated skirt
with sweater of contrasting hue is la
| beled the very best standby for the
1920 sports girl.
Mannish blouses of heavy linen,
pique or duck are offered the anti
frills maid and matron. They are
made exactly like the old-time shirt
! waist and can be worn buttoned way uI
to the ears or with lapels. Buster
Brown collars and windsor ties are
back in the sartorial running.
Even street dresses seem to favor
the sport-loving girl as they are
straight of line, loose and simple. A
three-piece suit of loose. chemise dress
with knee-length coat developed II
dull blue or brown silk jersey is ar
ideal late fall sport outfit.
| Shoes and gloves also seem to favor
an anti-feminine trend of fashion al
heels are low. vamps moderately lons
and gloves heavy and plain.

N. v. 4. PICNIC WEDNESDAY
Topeka Zone to Hear Big Speakers at
Ripley Park.

Sunny" Flora will be importuned
to make his best guess for good wealth
er September l.
That is the day set for the gather
ing of the members of the Modern
Woodmen of America for the Topeka
zone picnic. The zone includes about
thirty camps within a radius of forty
miles of this city.
The picnic will be held in Ripley

peka, 1243, will be the hosts to sew

features Indications promise a big
crowd of out of town Woodmen. Lo-
cal Royal Neighbors will assist in the
reception of visitors.
MarshaITs band will furnish the
music, and will participate in the re
view of the w. NJ. A. Foresters, the
drill teams of the order, many OF
which will assemble here for the
event. This will be staged at 5;SO
o'clock, and will be of interest to even
the Woodmen who have never attend
ed a head camp and witnessed the
shutdown parades of the thousands OF
uniformed team members with their
axe manual and drills.
Everybody, whether Woodmen or
ROYAL Neighbors, is invited, and the
announcements request that all bring
their baskets well filled and stay all
day and evening. Parking arrange
ments for automobiles have been
made. and special guards will be on
duty to protect them against possible
theft.
Two speakers of national reputation
in Woodcraft. National Lecturer Man
min and ". W. Gordon, of Kansas City,
will tell of the progress of the great
fraternal society, of the humanitarian
work done thru its now world famed
tuberculosis sanitarium at Woodmen,
Colo near Colorado Springs, and of
the women's auxiliary the Royal
%eighbors.
Among the features of the picnic
will be an open-air conferral of the
degrees recently instituted for the
view of the public. This will be in
charge of the officers and team OF
Su1f1ower camp. Dancing will be
continuous in the pavilion. and con-
tests of skill and strength will be open
for men women and children.

Omaha, Neb.. Aug. 2s.-Altho there
has not yet been time for the benefits
of the ira 1sportation act to be of ma
terial assistance to the railroads. the
Union Pacific system is not waiting for
the full fruition, but is anticipating the
future by proceeding at once with the
Improvement of it's freight and pas
senger service. Peace service. not war
service. is now its aim.
More locomotives and freight cars
are the insistent and primary demands
OF today's transportation situation. To
meet these demands. the Union Pacific
system has purchased the following
new equipment: 102 locomotives. in
Guiding 19 Mallet. 16 Mikado, 10
Pacific type. and 80 switching loco
motives; 6,169 freight cars and "a pas
senger train cars.
Part of this equipment has already
been put to work. All of it will be
in use before snow flies.
Left to its own initiative for a rea-
sonable time, the Union Pacific will
dem onstrate the wisdom OF the con-
gress in restoring the property to the
control of its owners.

But. la, they don't fling the same way.

Mains Circus Pleases
In West Virginia Town

Says the Martinsburg. w Va
Journal of the Walter /. Main circns
Ia: 49,
For the first time in a number of
years a big show is visiting Martins
burg and, after an absence of twelve
years, the Walter L. Main attraction
pltcned their large tents on the Wal
Ker-Dorn tract in Rosemont. The
aggregation came in last night from
Hagerstown, where an exhibition was
gwen Monday, and long before day-
llght large and interested throng of
young and old had gathered at the
Cumberland Valley freight station to
witness the engrossing act of un-
loading the paraphernalia and big
wagons from the train and transport
ing them to the show grounds. The
fact that drizzle had fallen during
the night and the air was cool and
inclined to rawness did not deter
those interested. Neither has it ma
terlally detracted from the custom
airy circus crowd, although the pri-
maries in the county have kept many
country people from coming to town
as early as in the days of yore.
Beyond a doubt the Walter L.
Main shows are we'll worth allotting a
day to their enjoyment. This was pat
ent from the first view of the parade
and further emphasized by the excel
lence of the exhibition this afternoon.
"The parade itself was composed
of a great number of beautiful hors-
es, as well as an extraordinary num-
Der of open dens of animals. Two
bands furnished the enhancing cir
Gus march music that makes us all
young again, and thoroughly embued
with the circus spirit. There were two
calliopes, and some of the bespang-
led costumes were the best that have
ever been seen here with any circus.

two numbers was good all the way

every one. Funny clowns that kept

e. 100000 American Women
Eligible To Vote In November

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-Figures
compiled by the census bureau and
other government departments indi-
cate that the number of women in
the United States over 81 years of
age is 28,O35,000 of whom approx
mately 26,500,00O are eligible to
vote in the November election. This
Aestimate makes a liberal allowance

married to aliens and other ineligi-
Bile.
Exact figures are not available on
the number of women over 81 but
barred from voting through various
reasons. Census bureau officials be-
lieve, however, that this year at
least 100000 of the 5,250,000 for
eign-born women in the United
States will not yet have become nat
uralized. In addition there were in
1910, according to the census about
10000 Indian women most of whom
were living on reservations, 1907

Der of American women married to

that reason and larger number de-

statues in harmony with constitu-
tional provisions. The total of those
inelgibles was estimated at about
10000.

Federal Amendments
Can Not Be Referred

Washington.-The supreme court in
unanimous report Tuesday held that
federal constitutional amendments can
not be submitted to popular vote for
ratification by states having referen-
dunn provisions in their constitutions
The method Of ratifying amend
ments, the court held, is national
power specifically granted by the fed
no authority to provide otherwise. In
so holding the court declared inopera-
tive provisions of the Ohio state con-
stitution authorizing submission Of
federal amendments to referendum
for ratification and overturned state
supreme court DEGREES dismissing in
junction proceedings brought by
George S. Hawke, Cincinnati attorney,
in taxpayers suit to enjoin submits
sion of the prohibition and woman
suffrage amendments to a referendum
vote.
Next to the cases involving the va
lidity of the prohibition amendment
and the enforcement, the Ohio refer
endum cases were considered the
most important before the supreme
court. Had the court ruled otherwise
the decision would have most likely
resulted according to the court Off
Gals, in the re-opening of the suffrage
question in approximately a dozen
states and the filing of petitions for
less than the constitutional three
fourths, having already ratified the
suffrage amendment, an opposite de-
cision would unQuestionably have BAN
ished all hopes of ratification prior
- the November elections.
