RE women really wearing rolled down stockings with skirts so
 short that several inches of bare

NE women really wearing rOlleu-
 down stockings with skirts so
 short that several inches of bare 1 uleg are revealed? Women in out of town communities who read about striking styles in New York and other big cities. are asking the question i'm credulously.
 Yes. These rolled down stockings with the very short skirts are being worn at this moment in New York City-and in Chicago and St. Louis and San Francisco and a few other places always excepting Boston. But not all women have adopted the style far from it. There are always women who adopt any new fashion that has striking and daring features, and mast of these women should and do knew better. But one cannot as- sert that women of best taste or of extreme conventional correctness in dress have taken to the rolled down hose and short skirt style. At least no instance has appeared as yet.
 There is nothing terrible about a rolleddown stockng-most of our great-grandmammas wore their stock ings that way. It is the combination of abbreviated petticoat and rolled down stocking that is rather appalling

COOL SUMMER PETTICOATs

~ HE very incest petticoats for sum
 mer days are white silk ones. They - are cool, light and have no bulk at all under summer frocks. If the frocks are thin. a double panel of the silk can be set at front and back so the thin petticoat may not show through" Petticoats are so short now--to match frocks-that two yards of white China silk, perhaps even less If you are not tall. will make your petticoat. Run up straight seams, gather the top into narrow waistband and finish the edge with rather deep hem. Such pet ticoat will launder and launder-in- deed you can do it up easily yourself in vour own room if you have an cleo trio iron.
 Petticoats of white linen are cool and dainty also. They must be fitted a little at the waistline, and not gath cred into the belt and the lower edge may be scalloped. Cut rather large

scallsps and do the embroidery with substantial floss. Or finish the edge With a narrow crochet lace. Nobody wears elaborate petticoats with sport skirts so the fussy. lace-trimmed affairs are needed only with dance frocks or with very formal afternoon frocks. Such petticoats for all their gaiety of trimming, hang in straight. limp lines and the upper part of the petticoat is made of crepe de chine or batiste.. The founces may be of lace. machine pleated chiffon. embroidered net or ruffled silk.
 Day petticoats are usually finished with a belt or draw-string through casing, for active exercise in sports means constant change of the bras siere or camisole: but the formal pet ticoat is often joined to a matching camisole and the whole garment is worn like a one-p:ece slip under dainty costumes.

HEBREW SHELTERING
AID SOUGHT HERE

A committee consisting of Jacob
Slobodien and Louis Pavlovsky
have been named by the national
organization of the Hebrew Shell
tering and Immigrant Aid Society of
America TO work locally toward rails
ing the Perth Amboy quota. $4,000.
A. Brett and NJ. Kurthof of the ma
tional committee, of New York are
now in Perth Amboy TO remain a
week and work among the Jewish
population in order to put over the
campaign that has been launched in
every community in the country.
The Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society never fails to re-
spond to the needs Of the Jewish
wanderer and to come to his aid
promptly. The new three per cent
immigration law has created for the
Jews of America new problems in
getting their kinsmen into the coun-
try; this is part of the work that
has devolved upon the society be-
sides the several other phases of
the work that must be solved.
The national quota is $1,000. 900
and is being endorsed by the promi-
nent Jews of the county including
Stephen wise, Abram Elkus and
G.. Deutch. The local committee
feels confident OF the success of the
appeal here and expects TO reach
the quota within n week.

STRIKE To HIT EASTERN
ROADS, CHICAGO SAYS
CONTINUED from page ~
To Compile Plans for Strike

CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-While heads
of the big four brotherhood and of
the s~witchmen's unions prepared to
meet in Cleveland tomorrow to COM
pIete the plans for the rail strike
which they have called for October
80, Union chiefs said today that
leaders of some of the eleven other
railroad labor organizations still
were opposing a walkout and would
attempt to keep their men from
joining with the five organizations
which have definitely permitted
themselves to plan a strike.
The big five membership numbers
only 100000 of the 100000 rail-
roads employees.
Whether the opposition of these
leaders will result in a break between
the two groups will not be fully set
tied until a meeting of the general
chairman of the eleven unions here
some time this week when issuance
of a formal strike call will be voted
on. Several labor board leaders said
today that they believed the major
ity would rule and hat it would be
a ease of majority strike, all strike"
They profess hat there is little
chance of a break.
The brotherhood made known last
night that they revised the list of
roads to which the first of the series
of proposed progressive walkouts
would start Sc as to exclude Penn
s~ylvania lines. the Erie RAILROAD and
the Louisville G. Nashville. This
leaves no eastern roads to be affect
ed by the first walkout.
The walkouts are scheduled to
take place in four groups. n every
forty-eight hours. starting at 6 A. NJ.
standard time October 80. Conse-
quently the east would not feel the
strike at least until November 1.
The roads to be included in the
three other groups have not been
decided upon as yet. but probably
will be at the Cleveland meeting,
union men said today.
The elimination of the P~ennsylva-
MIA from the first group caused con
siderable surprise as a bitter con-
troversy had been on with it's men
and it was believed it would be the
first road affected by the strike.
