LECTURE ON
ART IN DRESS
Thin Women Learn How to Lool
Stout and Stout Women Learn
How to Look Thin.

AS an accidental Id music is q
note that is foreign to the proper
harmony of the composition. SO a
wrong combination of color is an
accident in the proper harmony Of
dress, and there are more accidents
walking the streets in the name of
woman than ever BEFORE" said Miss
Evelyn Hansen. Of the Art institute
Of Chicago, yesterday in her lee
ture, "Art In Dress" which was
presented before a good audience
Of women in the Aledo city hall.
Miss Hansen presented the feature
under the auspices of the home bu-
reau of Mercer county.
Color, line and the suitability of
the occasion were the principal
points which Miss Hansen empha-
sized in her lecture. With the aid
of a color chart and different shades
Of material she demonstrated how
the coloring of ones hair and skin
should be properly brought out.
Proper clothes, as to line, for the
different types Of women was clear
ly shown by the use of models who
appeared wearing the proper and
improper types Of dresses.
In displaying the materials and
colors which the stout type Of wom-
an could wear, Miss Hansen adj
vised all women who class them
selves in the "fat" class to avoid
light figured materials, satins,
plaids and round necks. "A stout
woman should always wear dark
colors and slender woman light
colors."
"If the women of America would
stick to one or two good colors and
have their clothes made of them
every year, as the men do, the cost
of women's clothing would soon be
much less than it is now" said
Miss Hansen. 1T is the variety of
color and style of women's cloth
ing that account for the high cost,
not the quality Of the material"
Especial attention was given to
the type Of hats suitable for the
different types of women and to
the use of face wells.
Aledo women who acted as mod
els for the demonstration were Mrs.
William Haynes, Mrs. Sam Newell
and Miss Corinne Baldwin.
Following the lecture, which
proved to be of the utmost practical
value to the women who attended
it, Miss Hansen answered all who
had questions concerning proper
clothing and suitable color combi-
nations.
The demonstration Is q part Of
the better home institute given by
the extension department Of the
Art institute of Chicago.

some industries work clothes are fur
nished and kept in good condition. The
telephone operator of yesterday Is found
today In the machine shop, at the lathe
or drill press, engaged in assembly work,
armature winding and many other me-
chanical and industrial employ rnents.
This change has resulted in ~ much
higher operating charges, and ~ dis
turbance of service.
1.-THE evidence in these and other cases
involving telephone utilities all over the
state reveals a marked reduction in the
number of girls and young women avail
able for telephone operators, and what
Is equally disastrous-a constant shifting
of the personnel, which has resulted In
lessening operating skill and efficiency.
Hearings held by other state commits
sions reveal that this condition is gen
eral over the country.
1.-The evidence shows that a few years
ago the average girl operator took en-
ployment for pin money" While this
was not the case with all operators, 1t
was so generally the case that the indus
try was built UPON a subnormal basis of
operating wages and costs. The work
was more or less attractive, the surround
ings being clean and sanitary and there
being little requirement for exhausting
physical effort, to girls who lived at home
and wese not called upon to support
themselves or to contribute to the family
budget. Economic conditions In the home
were less strenuous in the era of low
prices for rent, clothing and other neces-
stiles.
The return of foreigners TO Europe to
participate in the world war and the
withdraw of more than 100000 men
from the fields of commerce and industry
was Simultaneous with an abnormal dc
mand on industrial, financial and busl-
ness concerns of this country for produc-
ton necessary to carry on the war.
Closely following came the shrinkage in
the purchasing power of the dollar. with
the accompanying economic pressure on
the home. With mounting costs of liv-

Not Guilty of MdnsLdughteT

Judge Collins said that he failed to
see how the grand jury had felt 1usti-
fed in returning an indictment
against Miss Lane In the light of the
evidence.
The testimony was conflicting. Some
witnesses claimed that the car
dragged the boy some distance and
others testified that the boy ran
directly in front of the car.

Out, out are the lights-out all!

No death has east a greater shadow
of sorrow over the city of Hamilton
than that of Charles Trownsell, which
occurred last Sunday evening, at his
home, 240 Oak street, of leakage of
the heart, resultant of pneumonia
His business associates, and bust
ness and professional men in general,
clerks, office employees, people in all
walks of life, all knew and liked him,
were greatly shocked to learn the
sad news He was i'll but just one
week, many of his close friends not
knowing he was so seriously ill, and
it was hard to realize by those who
knew him we'll that this clean, whole
souled, popular young business man
had taken the long journey from
which no traveller returns.
Mr. Trownsel was born and reared
in Hamilton. He was connected at
| different times with Enderes shoe
store. the Miami Shoe Company, the
Hurm shoe store and the Red Trunk.
Shortly after the Red Trunk shoe
store was purchased by the Dan Cohen
Company he was made its manager,
which position he held at the time OF
his death Previous to the time that
he became a manager, Mr. Trownsell
was for many wears member Of the
Retail Clerks Union, and no more
faithful member Of that organization
ever lived than Charley TrownselI.
| He always took an active interest in
its cause, and after having with
drawn from the ranks, had none but
the friendliest feeling for all pertain
/ ING to organized labor
In the death of Mr. Trownsell, Ham
ilton loses one Of it's best citizens He
was man of splendid character and
held in the highest esteem BY all his
associates
An active life has passed away.
Those who knew him best loved him
best He had earned the sincere ap-
probation of his friends and fellow
workers With deep regret the sad
tidings of his untimely departure
were received. TO his stricken widow,
three children, sisters and brothers
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community is extended May the wild
ow and children find consolation in the
fact that their husband and father
had lived a useful life and that his
memory will be respected, honored
and cherished by his friends and fel-
low workers.
