HEAVY DEMAND FOR GLOVES
Short Sleeve Vogue Indicates Manu- facturers Will Be Unable to
 Supply Market.

This seasons vogue for short sleeves should mean a fortune to glovemakers. The only unfortunate part about the matter, so far as the glove manufacturers are concerned, is that glove fabrics and the labor nee essary for their making are scarce and high, so it is said to be difficult to make enough gloves to meet the demand.
 When really warm weather arrives, many women will wear these little short sleeved frocks without gloves. of course, as comfort rules in the final showing in this rather sensible age.
 It is interesting and really pleasant, to observe that the very short skirts approved for several seasons are not in evidence this year. Skirts are short enough for comfort, but they are long enough for grace, and because of the added length women as a whole ap- pear much better dressed. Like prac- tically all extremes, the ultra-short skirt Is conspicuous by it's absence in this seasons style lineup.

NURSING SERVICE IS
 RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work FIourishing in Small Towns
 Throughout Country.

More than 37.OOO graduate nurses have been enrolled in the American Red Cross to date and it's department of nursing Is daily increasing this en. rollment.
 The department of nursing has been authorized to maintain an adequate reserve Of nurses for the army and navy. It will continue to supply the needs of the United States Public Health Service to which 1t has as. signed more than 1000 nurses in the last year.
 It will assist In establishing proper nursing service in foreign countries where the American Red Cross has or ganized hospitals, dispensaries and -~1o0la for nurses Courses in home hygiene and care of the sick have been started for thousands Of women who have never received any education in this direction. Rural nursing which was in its infancy a short while ago has been put ahead at least a decade through the work of the department Of nursing and local Red Cross chapters.
 Public health nursing has been ex- tended to many rural communities and now fourishes actively in hundreds of small towns and counties. Nearly a thousand efficient nurses have already been assigned to this kind of work. \ The department of nursing is unit ing with other organizations In a years campaign In recruiting nurses for training schools, in educating the gen. eral public as to standards of nursing education and in showing communities their responsibility toward schools of nursing. It will endeavor to meet all these needs as well as to continue the enrollment of dietitians who will be utilized as instructors in home dietet- fcs, in developing nutritional clinics, and in supplying dietitians for the United States Public Health Service and the civilian hospitals
 The Nursing Service will continue to offer to women and young girls the opportunity of securing instruction in home hygiene and care of the sick in every community In the country. This instruction has not only laid the foun- dalton for public health but in some places has given impetus to the estab- lishment of hospitals and community school houses.
 "As community profits by the work Of the nurse." says Miss Clara D. Moves, director of the department of nursing, eft is logical that the com munity should be aroused to its respon- sibility. The American Red Cross stands ready to help in general cam paign of recruiting and must have the support, sympathy and understanding Of the medical profession as we'll as the intelligent cooperation of the people at large"

c1Iy wno must De gruuuutc s---- ing school? On the contrary. she teaches more branches and for less pay" The same correspondent cites one rural school of 27 pupils where the teacher instructs in 15 different subjects with different grades in some of these.
 Poor Living Conditions.
 Furthermore, in many towns, teach CTS find difficulty In obtaining room and board at any price. In one town sew eral teachers were forced last year tn geI LneIr Ineals LII Gtc uUmeSuc Sclenc~ department of the school In another teachers were living over mile from their school in a room on the back of a farmhouse with no cellar under 1t, which was so cold that they could not sit up evenings to prepare their work. A woman in this town was quoted as saying that a teacher had no right to expect comfort t,-that she was hired to teach and not to be comfortable.
 Low Salaries Chief Difficulty.
 Low salaries, however, are the chief difficulty. According to the State Board of Education, last year 149 towns were paying minimum salaries of $500 or less. From this, 5 per cent or $40, must be deducted for the teach CT retirement, leaving the teachers actual income less than $15 per week. With board at $9 per week, a conserve tive figure, this is not even mere sub- sistence salary. Such salary Is made possible because in many cases the teachers live at home, but there is no inducement for beginner and indus trial competition is taking girls from their home towns to obtain higher pay.
 Save Our Schools.
 Such conditions, which threaten widespread inefficiency in our schools, are the cause of the Save our Schools campaign which has been undertaken by the Connecticut State Teachers As sociation. The association seeks bet ter salaries and tenure for teachers, more state aid for education and inn provement in the state teacher retire ment law. For every Connecticut child, a well-paid teacher. competent and contented" is the campaign slo- gan and individuals and organizations are rallying to the aid of the teachers With the enthusiasm which is deserved.

the hips, all the fullness being massed at the sides in thick gathers. This skirt is suspended over foundation hem showing between the scaIlops of the embroidered edge. The bodice which is of the taffeta, opens low in a point at the front, showing the silver foundation. There is a ruff of tulle across the back of the neck and shirred pieces of the tulle fall from the elbows of the sleeves like short scarf ends
 The most vivid colors are being used in street clothes as well as In those for indoor wear. One is developed from navy blue taffeta used in con nection with green and black striped taffeta. The striped silk forms tun. ic which Is hung over very finely plaited blue underskirt
 The color combinations In cotton frocks are even more striking than those in the silks. It is interesting to study some of these because cotton dresses will play very Important part in the fashionable summer ward. robe. Their use will not be confined to the country; we will wear them fl town as well; in fact, almost any place where simple silk or cloth frock ha: been worn in other years.
 Bold Patterns and High colorInas.
 Some of the latest novelties in cot tons show a combination of the eponge and voile weayes. These are in bold patterns as we'll as in high colorings. One lwell-known house Is showing a charming dress developed in copper color, beige and black. printed and woven in conventional design.
 Another instance in which startling colors are used in a cotton fr0ck ap. pears in a model of cotton eponge in navy blue combined with French blue vofle in black and white plafded de sign with roses embroidered in high colors. The fact that this model has proved itself a popular one goes to show that no color combination Is too startling to find favor these days.
 The care which great designer Cheruit-gives to ehildren's clothes shows us how important little folks fashions are becoming. She makes one charming dress with a skirt of ecru handkerchief linen, over which falls a straight, short bodice of rob in's egg blue. There is a watch pock- ct containing cunning toy watch and fob, both made of blue taffeta. The watch has a porcelain face but no works. The neck of the dress Is round and the arms are bare to half way above the elbow.

 costIiest of the Taffeta Family.
 This vari-colored chain or filling-in is so elusive that the fabric must be studied before one can really know how tlR color tone is achieved. Of course, this silk is the most costly of all the taffeta family. Imagine the art and the difficulty of setting up the chain ir a thousand colors and then plotting it out with a black or brown filling. Nor are these marvellous taf- fetas confined to all-over patterns they are also shown with woven stripes. The plain and the striped patterns are much combined in the new spring models.
 Other novelties are black taffeta dresses worked in English embroid- cry patterns with steel threads and cut steel beads. The embroidery is very deep on the skirt, like the pat terms of old-fashioned muslin skirt lngs, and the designs are almost fden- tfcal. The same embroidery appears on the bell sleeves, which are afale longer than elbow length.

RURAL SCHOOLS LACK TEACHERS
With Opening of Schools Near, Teachers Not Yet Engaged in
 Many Connecticut Towns.
INCREASED SALARY NEEDED.
"For Every Connections Child, We'll Paid Teacher, Competent and Con- tented" Is Connecticut State Teachers Assoclatlon's Remedy
 for Educational crisIs
 In Our State.

Connecticut school superintendents, with the opening of school only about month away are still reporting "en- tire force not hired yet" Some school systems are yet lacking half of their teaching force. Recently some Con- necticut school officials went into near by states seeking teachers having placed "ads'' in the papers telling where appointments could be made as they went from town to town. One superintendent reports that flor three years I have been drawing on Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont to fill the greater part of my vacancies" He we'll adds How long we shall be able to drain these states of their best teachers is problematical, Is 1t notf' There will probably be few closed schools this fall, but incompetent teachers filling the places of deDarting experlenceu Ieacners VIII De more sle- nificant.
 Towns In Serious Straits.
 The estimated shortage of 600 teach CTS and the fact that one-fourth of the teachers in Connecticut last year were untrained does not give complete picture of the crisis in the rural schools, for the rural localities will suffer to a much greater extent than will the cities Several of our teach CTS have already signed contracts in other towns, and none of the 1919-20 teaching force have decided to re- main," was the June situation in one town. No increase Is to be given the teachers. Consequently every teacher in the school has resigned shows the plight of another town. Similarly, a school principal writes, "With the ex- ception of MT. -, my successor as principal, all of the present faculty go to new positions in other states"
 The records of the normal schools show that the country districts are not contributing their quota of students. Principal Marcus White of the New Britain State Normal School, in com menting on this situation recently said, Country schools have to take what the cities cannot use or be content with untrained teachers picked from the country schools" Principal John R. Perkins said that last year approxi- mately one-seventh of the students en- rolled at the Danbury State Normal School were from the towns as com pared with six-sevenths from the cities and boroughs.
 UntraIned Rural Teachers.
 The nature of the work in the small schools, poor living conditions and in- adequate salaries,-with emphasis on the last,-are the causes of the rural school crisis. A correspondent to the Hartford Courant recently wrote "Be- cause dollars are few and far between, the girl in many cases does not go through high school and rarely through normal school before starting to teach in rural school. Does that mean that she teaches less than her sister in the

There Is every evidence in the pres ent seasons models that the Paris de signer is In no way influenced by the temperature of the season for which he designs. says prominent fashion correspondent.
 Paris has just passed through eoallesg winter, with short sleeves and no collars. Now hot summer threat ems, with long sleeves and muf1ing collars. Is 1t genius or contrarity that has brought about this utter disre- gard of seasonable effects?
 In fact, there are many other ques- one might think of asking, among which is, "Why should multiple carat diamonds be the fashion when half the world is starvfng2 And why, at a lime when there is not sufficient ma terial to cover the bodies of the peo- ples of the earth, should the mills be engaged on costly fabrics of the slow est possible constructionY A close and minute analysis might explain the seeming contradiction, but there is no time for this if we are to talk of the new models.
 Taffeta and Lace Combined.
 Among the clothes for spring and summer are many suits and dresses developed in taffeta. Taffeta and lace, as well as taffeta and tulle, are ire Squently combined to produce the more dressy effects.
 Laces of the finest and rarest quail ity are used-another extravaganza of this season. These are all of a fine tLlle variety, hand run or hand em- broidered, and are mostly in black, cream or tea color, the two latter ehades being used on black taffeta models, while the black lace appears in conjunction with high colors and white. Black on black is never seen, nor is white on white. The principal novelty is taffeta cire, and while the most exclusive designers are using this In their original creations, many copies are of the ordinary taffeta.
 In the plain taffetas. tete de negre and navy blue are the favorite colors, while woven novelties are in change able and shot effects. One that is un- usual has chain or warp in multi colors with an occasional thread of
