Although there has been a certain amount of reaction, in the direction of simplicity in fur garments, the mode finds place for much that may not be chased as simple. For last winter de- ssigners vied with one another in mak- ing small wraps that embodied several different styles in one garment-capes, coatees and scarfs were all suggested
 in a single hybrid. The designers were endlessly ingenious and the clev- ernesse eof these smaller garments gave : them a charm that made a very suc- , cessful appeal. So much so that the same idea has reappeared this season : in fur wraps and there is hint of 1t iA the wide scarfs of brushed or an gora wool that are furnished with , belts to match.
 Among the new models those that , are most like a scarf, prove to be the most useful. By discarding the belt they may be worn with tailored suit when extra warmth is required. Worn with a one-piece frock and belted down
 they become "a cOatee, wonderfully becoming and convenient for afternoon or evening wear. One of the best of the new models of this kind appears at the right of the two shown in the Dicture. It is made in several furs kolinsky, mink, dyed. squirrel, sealskin, are all effective in it, but the furs hav- ing a dark stripe are best. It is shown

across the ends at the front and a fringe of tails adds an appearance of considerable length. The collar may be brought up in the muffier fashion. The huff to match is smaller than the average, but it is soft and nearly flat in the approved style.
 Seal and leopard are combined in the chic coatee at the left in such a way that each enhances the beauty of the other. The leopard skin looks like small sleeveless jacket and it's bril- Iiance is softened by the indefinite markings in the pelt and very gen. erous shawl collar of sealskin. This wrap has three-quarter sleeves and a narrow belt of sealskin. It extends in panels (that widen toward the bot tom) below the waistline at the back and straight in front, leaving the hips uncovered.

INCREASED PASSENGER

ONE NIGHT STANDS

Chicago, Aug. 13.-It's going to
be a tough year on the one,night
stands.
In q few weeks many chorus girls
and, for that matter, performers
with speaking parts and Broadway
aspirations, will be suddenly shunted
back to Chicago or New York from
Goshen or Great Neck, to hear u
speech from the manager. His talk
will be something like this:
"Well, friends, we're done. The
shows gone up. Only enough dough
lett to pay of. Step right up. No
chance to get by with the railroads
putting q gun at our heads. Sorry,
Phil, you were going big. And you.,
Gladys. guess you'll have to go back
to the restaurant"
With transportation rates advance
ed 20 per cent exclusive of war tax,
and Pullmans up to SO per cent, plus
war tax. the one-night stands can't
live. The shows have been putting
the price up. but the limit has been
reached. A year ago 81 was top
price; now they are asking $3.50, 81
and $3.50.
But farmers aren't. "rubes'' any
more. They have cars and get about,
so when the Turkey, Shows come
along they give the struggling per-
formers the "rasberry," so to speak.
For the last two weeks one-night
shows have been hesitatingly ven.
turing forth into the sticks. :" Those
playing from Dubuque, Ia, to Medi-
cine Bow, have n1cknamed It death
trail" because chance of life is SO

DAMAGE TO EXCEED
MILLION DOLLARS
CAUSED BY RAIN
Toledo City Pavement Washed
Away by Flood; One Build

ties Reported.

Toledo, Aug. 16.-Damage estimat-
ed at more than $1,OOO,0OO was done
here today by severe rain storm
which floated away great stretches of
city paving, flooded cellars and para
lyzed traffic. 1t was one of the most
|severe storms that ever struck the
city and district.
Rain swept in sheets through the
|streets during the hour when crowds
were trying to make their way to
work. Automobiles parked at curbs
Feither were foated away or stood
with their floors flooded.
Reports of storm damage from
|neighboring points have not been re-
|ceived, as the telegraph service was
handicapped and street
cars ran with difficulty.
City authorities estimate that the
damage to the wrecked pavement
would run close to 100000. A num-
ber of streets are absolutely out of
the block surfacing on
one street being swept into an Office
building.
Damage was heavy to buildings,
one co1lapsing. No casualties were
reported.

Z Washington, D. &c. Aug. 14.-Ap-
proximately 25,000,000 persons in

unhabitable quarters, according to
officials of the United States housing
There is need Rr over 5000, 900

Chief Engineer Chase of the corpar-
alton today. ''All !hope of improve
ment must be deferred until next
spring. Building now has practical
ly stopped. 1t will take the country
FIVE years to catch up.'
This means rents will continue to
soar this winter, it is believed here.
"The housing situation now is more
acute than it was at the close of the
war period when practically all
building had been halted for three
years." said Chase;
'In only a few cities has any
building, actually been done. In this
class are Cleveland; Akron, Detroit,
St. Louis and onei or two smaller
middle west towns.J
In all other cities there has been
practically no building of dwellings

TEXAS CATTLEMEN
UNABLE TO !! BORROW
M0NFz FOR STOCK
thousand. 8 Acres Of Pasture
Going 's Waste I'm
porta1 s .earing ON Coun-
try's.'$ Supply.

Fort WD1~,l, Tex, Aug. lo.@Iex-
as cattlemen are facing very SER
ious situation, which has its bearing
on the country beef supply, due to
their inability to get loans, accord
ing to A. C. Williams, assistant sec
retary of the Cattle Raisers Associa-
ton Of Texas. He said that the
money stringency was bringing
about the depletion of existing herds
and preventing the building up of
new ones.
more good pasturage is going to
waste in the cattle country than for
many years. Mr.. Williams said.
Range conditions in Texas and else
where have been ideal for the past
year, and prices, though unsatisfact-
ory, have not in general meant act
ual loss to. the stockmen. The re-
latively low prices prevailing have
been in goodly measure result OF
the inability to obtain credits.
'The present financial situation,
however, following on the heels Of
severe drouths in both the Southwest
and Northwest, is bringing about a
reduction of the cattle population
which must in the end mean mount
ing beef prices and nationwide
economical loss.
b "On q recent trip through west
Texas and New Mexico, had occas-
ion to observe that many pastures
were unstocked, or thinly stocked,
and inquiry developed the fact that
owners were anxious to. stock and
had plenty of security but could not
obtain loans. IS,
Many cattlemen whose ranches
were stocked were being compelled,
to liquidate, and thousands of cattle
which should normally be used for
breeding, or at least for development
into finished beef, were being sold
for slaughter.
"rhe sheep raising interests of
the San Angelo couhtry are even
more seriously threatened than the
cattle interests. This is due in part
to- the financial stringency, and is
having its bearing on the cattle sit
uation.
: \. '.Thee principal factor in the sheep.
mems problem, however, appears to
be the virtual withdrawal OF wool
buyers from the market. The wool
crop this year in the San Angelo
territory is estimated at between
S,000,000,000 and 5000, 900 pounds
an increase of about 3,0O0,OO0
pounds over former years.
Comparatively little of that has
been marketed because the buyers
having comfortable stocks on hand,
are not offering anything like fair
price. The growers are endeavoring
to hold, and have several million
pounds stored at, San Angelo and
neighboring points,
