"A S a matter of fact,
~ it's the m o d e IN
fashions in gowns
which have created the
modern fashions in silks, of
which even the richest and
heaviest fabrics must have
the soft finish.
A visit to the Women's
Fashion Salons (also To-
Gated on the First Floor,
in the Central Section)
and a glance at their at
tractive displays of the
lovely new Spring dresses
reminds one of this fact.
1t is a visit which many
brides make, for when the
w e d d in g arrangements
must be made very quick
ly, or one can't secure a
skilled dressmaker's serv-
ices, or dislikes the trouble
of sewing and fitting at
home anyway, it's a Won
derful thing to be able to
order a beautiful, fashion
able gown, all ready to
step into, and just have it
sent home!
And the same is true in
the matter of the brides
maids dresses.
We can show a remark
able variety of charming
little dresses, of infinite
suitability for wear on
such occasions and after
that important "afterl'-
which can be reproduced
from order in any desired
number or colorlngs.
AS for the bridal
dresses, they are pretty
enough to tempt any
woman to bridehood, even
the tart-tongued lady,
who, when her newly
introduced acquaintance
inquired whether the name
was Mrs. or Miss Smith,
retorted:
"Miss-by choice"

everybody has to do is to
buy a wedding gift.
From now until we'll on

with us the Season Of We'd

some people will have
something to do that's
even more interesting,
even more important, than
choosing a wedding gift
They will be the ones

They will be the ones
who will receive the beau

They will come, they
already are coming, oft
times assisted by mothers,
sustained by bridesmaids,
or accompanied by their
sisters and their cousins
and their aunts, into this

so often entered before on
commonplace errands;
But this time they are
coming on an errand that's
surrounded by trailing

Because of the large number of in

and from former service men and others
relative to the purchase of Army pas
senger cars and ~dcks, E. c. Morse,
director of sales, has issued a statement
to show that there has been no change
in the policy of the War Department in
the sale of it's automobiles The War
time Offering for sale, either to ex-ser-
vice men or others, any serviceable
automobiles of any description. All
motor vehicles of a serviceable nature,
which are not required for it's own use

be offered for transfer by the depart

Secretary Daniels has directed that
special inducements be offered to naval
recruits in connection with special
campaign being conducted to fill the

enlisted personnel. There are 1858
young men studying specialties in naval
schools. From that source will be
drawn the skilled specialists of the
Navy There are 400 vacancies in
the schools, which are now thrown open
to the young men of the country. Ad-
mission to these schools previously was
limited to service men. A new policy
also has been adopted by which recruits
who desire to see the world will be
given early opportunity to do so. Spe-
cial attention is given at the schools to
physical development. Recent stats-
tics show an average gain of ten
pounds in weight in four months and
equal increases in height and chest de-
velopment of students. An office has
been established in this city to look
out for the mems welfare and fleet COM

ton to the subject.

The first American air fleet on the
Pacific will be in operation within the
next few days, with the arrival at the
naval station at San Diego, Cal, of
eight Martin torpedo planes. These
big planes will form the nucleus of
larger forces in the near future. They
will fly from the decks of battleships
and also patrol the coast at speed
impossible of attainment by the swift
est destroyer. These planes have a
cruising radius of 400 miles. Each
weighs about six tons, including pilot,
navigator and gunner, 1,65O-pound
torpedo. $50 pounds of bombs, two
Lewis machine guns. radio set and
fuel for four hours. They are de-
signed to swoop down on an enemy
fleet launch torpedos from the air and
fly back to their mother ships. They
are not seaplanes, but can float on the
surface of the water by means of air
bags until hoisted on board. Several
super-seaplanes, larger than the NC
boats. and capable of flying across the
Pacific. are under construction also for
the protection of the Pacific coast.

DEVELOP PATRIOTISM BY
TELLING OF PATRIOTS OF PAST

The purpose of such a holiday as
July Fourth is to promote love of
country. But firecrackers and bon.
fires do not develop patriotism. Even
the sports and picnics that are such
pleasant and desirable features of the
day, don't do much to promote the
real purpose Of the celebration
The best way to develop love of
country, is to tell the people some
thing about the courage, the devotion
and the sacrifices of the great patriots
of the past. They should also be
shown what all this effort has
achieved, and how 1t has gone on to
develop the noblest institutions and
the finest opportunities to be found
anywhere in the world.
When young folks hear this story
Of courage and devotion and achieve
ment, they will begin to realize--<iia

feel desire to make some contA bu.
