New Blouse With Skirt That Buttons
to Low Waistband.


chiffon and crepe blouses patterned
after their white predecessors. But now
we have reached an era where, though
we accept the idea Of separating
the two, we still insist upon having
them more of one color and one single
line.
If we admit white shirtwaist into
our wardrobe, then we are apt to
cover it with a jumper dress, a sleeve.
less coat, a sweater made either with
or without sleeve portions. We are
not admitting very generally the white
shirwaist unless it is in some way re-
lieved by other and semi-covering ac-
cessories. But there are blouses and
separate waists which charm in their
own individual ways, for they stand
out as new and pleasant creations bet
ter suited to the needs and the tastes
of the modern woman than any white
shirtwaists.
We hear, again and again, that the
blouse as a separate entity has dis
appeared so far as fashion is con-
cerned, but this is not an adequate
statement. There are still blcuses ga
lore to be had and to be designed, but
they are newer and better things
waists, in fact, that fit in with new
conception of dress in general.
Skirts Outwear Waists.
Without some sort Of a separate
blouse no wardrobe can be built along
altogether economical lines, for the
fact remains that skirts wear longer
than any filmy waist, and if we are
to have full length dresses without
any notice taken of the separate
waist, then many of the skirt por-
tons of our frocks will have to be
cast into the scrap heap long before
there Is any necessity.
If one has a separate skirt then
one chooses b1ouses that will match
it in tone if not in actual color; that
will harmonic with the texture of the
skirt and help in carrying out its gen.
eral character.
Take a black silk plated skirt for
instance. We'll, that is foundation
for many frocks useful at all seasons
of the year, but the minute any old
waist is worn with the skirt, just be.
cause one is waist and the other
skirt, then bad results follow and the
wearer is likely to class herself with
those dressing in the fashions of the
late nineties.
If the waist and the skirt are judged
as related to each other; if the first
works into the scheme of the second,
then the. owner is on the way to have
a costume which will be eminently
satisfactory in all respects. When
she appears again in that skirt with
another bodice harmonizing in some
other and original way, no one will
think of suspecting that the old skirt
is not new.
Some wel1-dressed women regard
this principle Of dress seriously when
planning their wardrobes. Combina
ton makes variety possible and with
slight expenditure any woman may
add a fresh and inspiring dress tt
her wardrobe Even two or three may
be added, and so on indefinitely until
the limits of her designing originality
have been exhausted.

Personally we never understood much finance. It's too deep,
but we handed it to our fellow citizens who did understand it
sufficiently to garner to our shores all this gold. That's high

Now comes the New York World with the news that we have
not only the greatest stack of gold, but also a pile of German
paper marks, which if baled like hay and piled on end would over
shadow the Woolworth Building, probably.
Americans own 8O,OO0OOOOOO marks. Their par value would

Americans worked, either with hands or mind, to produce
the wealth that begot this huge pile of gold. Some of the gold,
or its equivalent in currency, we snapped for German marks.
What really purchased both gold and marks was the produce of
our farms, mines or factories, plus our labors.
Today, like old Midas, we are gold poor. Our $3,5OOOOOOO

of steadily decreasing value. Our flyer in currency may have
been profitable to the jugglers who engineered it, but to us it

Lloyd George, with his usual quick

his resignation.
With the %expedience of a man de-

Manchester, his birthplace. There
be will deliver a speech replying to
the criticism of his home and foreign
policies, especially his conduct of the
Near East situation, which has
broken on the British public with
sudden force in the last few days.
Newspapers WHICH are closely fol
lowing the activities Of the aggres-
sive little Welshman are confident
that he has no intention of quitting
cold. They suggest hat he may
resign. but onl yfor the purpose of
appealing to the country through a
general election, thereby going over
the heads of his critics and appeal
ing directly to the voters for vindica-
ton.

Food and Our Future

7 S the supremacy of the United States in the world of nations
L threatened by the possible failure of our food supply to keep
up with the processionH
Decidedly yes, says DR.. E. D. Ball, hard thinking Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture. Said he:
t'The United States is growing much faster in population than
our food supply warrants.
In forty years we have trebled our food production per man,
but Europe still produces twice as much per acre as we do, al
though we produce four times as much per man.
"The answer to Americas future lies in our ability to pro-
duce fOOd-more per acre, and still more-not in iron, coal and
seacOast as a sapinet half-wit told gaping audiences throughout
the ehautauqua lecture course last summer.
'The economic history of the world shows that those nations
which are food EXPORTING, like Russia, Germany and the
United States, have grown and waxed powerful Those which
are food IMPORTING wane' and grow weaker by comparison.
"Our next great problem is to find some means to double our
food production per acre. Can it be done? Easily. Iowa, the
greatest food producing area of equal size in the world, could av-
erage thirtytwo bushels per acre on her wheat land as easily as
fourteen; and, of course, she must do it if we are to grow, for on
our food production depends our future as a nation"

DECLARES BOOZE
ORDER On SHIPS
WILL HOLD GOOD
Attorney General Confident His
Opinion Will Withstand
All Court Attacks.
United Netos

By CntteG Net0S
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Attorney
General Daugherty is confident that
his opinion banning intoxicants from
foreign vessels within the three mills
limit, will withstand all attacks
launched against it before the Su-
preme Court. He is Of the opinion
that only by a complete reversal Of
previous decisions could the Supreme
Court nullify his ruling.
The Department of Justice is pre-
pairing for a test cas- on the ruling
prohibiting possession and transporta-
ton within the three-mile limit by
foreign vessels. The department has
let it be known to Atlantic shippers
now meeting in protest in London,
Paris and New York that such d case
will be expedited to the Supreme
Court.
The ship booze ruling, Daugherty
explained, is based largely on decis-
ions handed down by the Supreme
Court in the so-called Walker and
Anchor Line cases, and he is conf
dent thai the court consistently could
not do other than sustain his ruling.
The Supreme Court" he declared.
has decided the question of possession
and transportation of liquor within
the three-mile limit. If that matter,
in all it's phases was not dealt with
directly, at least 1t was handled in a
sufficiently convincing way to sustain
my ruling
Looks For Opposition
Daugherty looks for opposition only
from foreign shippers. He doe not
believe that American owners will at
tempt to dispute the legality of the
opinion.
Meantime, while the State and
Treasury departments are busy for
mulating rules for enforcing the
Daugherty liquor rulings. Judge James
j. Britt, counsel for prohibition head
quarters, has come forward with a
lengthy defense Of the attorney gen
erals ruling.
The eighteenth amendment"
Judge Britt declared by way of in
PRODUCTION, was proposed. considered
and ratified at a time of profound de-
votion by the people to public duty;
its purpose was of deep concern at a
time when their hearts were cons3-
Grated to high and noble ~endeavors;
it was brought forward and ratified
with an expedition and unanimity that
carried unmistakable evidence OF a
deep, determined, and far-reaching
moral purpose"

A Valued Lesson to George

VXTHEN we walk along Illinois st. and see examples of the
w three modern Grecian arts-restaurant keeping, shoe shin
ing and candy making-we are reminded of George Leopoldous.
George just recently learned that citizenship in the United
States means something besides money.
He came to America in 1896, pennless. Of the Grecian arts
of today George chose candy making as his vocation. When he
had collected a fortune of considerable dimensions, like many
others, he went back home.
The Turks came to Smyrna, where George had taken up his
residence, and they left George 100000 poorer by reason of their
visit. But his United States citizenship papers saved his life
Georges misfortune will evoke few tears; and George him
self may not appreciate the value of American citizenship. He
probably feels like the negro who, as he was about to be hanged,
observed to the sheriff: "Boss, this certainly is going to be a
lesson to me-"

lQUOR stills have added another fire hazard in indianapolis,
L. according to Fire Chief John j. OrBrien.. and he has
brought the matter to the attention of the board of public safety.
The pesky things have a way of blowing up and setting fire to
things unless they are properly housed.
Mayor Shank has instructed Chief OBrien to issue orders
that citizens owning stills must keep them out of the downtown
district and out of buildings that are not freproof. :

their distnling apparatus.
