T HERE are good many women
L who have no use for more than
one or two frocks for formal wear and
who are sensible enough to buy only
what they can use. no matter how
ample their means. These women
want conservative styles, equal to
serving for both afternoon and eve
ming. They rely on accessories to tone
up such gowns to the requirements of
any dressy function.
With the return of nets and dyed
laces to favor and the perennial black
lace and satin dress there are offered
two very safe choices. And there are
added to these in the new displays,
very handsome frOcks in silver cloth
embroidered with jet, in duvetyn COM
bined with metallic and other bro
cades, in veilings draped over satin
and, more than all, embroidered frocks

HAS PREPAREDNESS IN MIND
Infantry Board Is Seeking Suggestions

Improved.

Col. G. S. Farnsworth, u. S. A.,

Gently created by the war department
to function in connection with the In
fantry school at Camp Benning, Ca,
has appealed to the American Legion,
through National Commander D'Olier,
for ideas and suggestions on how the
infantry service may be improved.
"The board feels" Colonel Farms
worth's letter reads. shat included in
the membership of the American Le-
gion are great many whose studies
and wide experience both before and
during the world war have resulted
in their having some very definite and
valuable ideas as to how the infantry
service can be improved, and it would
greatly appreciate the cooperation of
these members to this end. All COM
munications should be addressed to
the president. Infantry Board, Camp
Benning, Ga"
The head of the board. which is the
first and only agency to be established
for the sole purpose of improving the
infantry service, adds that the term
is not to be construed as referring
only to the infantry of the regular
army.
"On the contrary" he says, "the in
fantry board has in mind that vast
army Of doughboys' that assemblies un-
der the infantry colors' in time of any
great war;"
nnen Camp Benning school is full
ly functioning, there will be among its
personnel field officers, company Off
GERS and enlisted men from every in
fantry regiment in the regular army,
and officers from the National Guard

PLAN FOR MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Bills Sponsored by Department Of vir-
ginia, American Legion, Offered In
State Legislature.

A system of public libraries as me-
MORALS to ex-service persons who par
ticipated in the world war, is proposed
in bills sponsored by the department
of Virginia, American Legion, and re-
Gently introduced In the legislature Of
that state.
The measures give the boards of su-
pervisors of any county or the coun-
eli of any city or town power to levy
an annual tax Of not to exceed two
mills for the erection and maintenance
Of a Memorial Library" State aid
to the amount of $500 annually may
be given to any locality spending a
like sum, and in places having more
than 10000 inhabitants an expendi-
ture of not to exceed $1,000 may be
made.
In order to meet these requirements,
$4,000 is appropriated annually for
the next two years to the state IL
brary board, and $500 a year for an
employee of the state library board to
supervise and organize community IL
brary work.
A supplementary bill provides that
if the city of Richmond will convey a
certain plot of land to the state, the
latter will erect thereon a state IL
brary building to cost not more than
$2,000000, for which $25000O year
for two years is appropriated, and the
remainder of the sum is to be secured
by deed Of trust on the property and
improvements in the sum of $780,
wv, for which bonds running for
term of 30 years shall be issued, to be
retired annually by sinking fund to
be provided by the general assembly.
This building, it is proposed, will con-
tain an auditorium and appropriate me-
mortal tablets and trophies Of Virgin
ians who served in the war.
lie only appropriation required for
the next two years is an annual one
or $4,000, and the further appropri-
alton of $4,000 a year thereafter to
retire the bonds. Anyone desiring
more detailed information about the
project should write to w. L. Price,

The Legion's Share.

One Of the first posts Of the Ameri-
can Legion to take part in the funeral
of comrade whose body was brought
from overseas was Roy w. Kelly post
of Ashland, Wis. The body of Pvt.
William B. Boyle arrived at Ashland
recently with Private Ford Of the
Twenty-second infantry as escort. A
committee of Roy w. Kelly post es-
corted the coffin from the train to a
chapel where legionaires stood guard
until the services on the following
day. The members Of the post attend
ed the funeral in civilian clothes, with
the exception of the pail bearers and
the firing squad, who were in full
uniform. The body was escorted from
the chapel to the church, where legion
members were seated in a group. At
ter the services the post formed ranks
in front Of the hearse and marched
to the city limits. Here the ranks
were opened and the men uncovered
while the hearse passed through. The
pail bearers and the firing squad fol-
lowed the cortege TO the cemetery for
the final ceremonies and salute.

Of more tian -FOUR day. Membership
figures have not yet been compiled, but
when it Is realized that at least ten
women are necessary requisite for
the formation of any one auxiliary
unit of any American Legion post it is
seen that probably $1,000 or $4,000
women were thus indirectly associated
with the legion through its auxiliary
units before the end of last month. To
what proportions this total will have
grown in another six months is for ex-
perts to say, but an estimate of 1000
units with a total membership of more
than $4,000 is not considered extrava-
CANT.
Minnesota, with an aggregate Of rs
such units completely organized, has
a substantial lead over all other states
in the Union in the matter of arousing
it's women relatives of former fighters
to realization of their privileges and
opportunities for constructive social
and economic service through direct
liaison with the legion in its avowed
Americanism-a pledge which it's l.
100000 members in more than 5000
posts throughout the land are unquali-
fiedly committed.
Massachusetts, with Ga chartered
auxiliary units, is only ii behind the
leading state, while Pennsylvania, with
45 and rapidly organizing new ones,
gives promise of giving the other two
a hard race for first place before the
summer is many weeks older.
