it has achieved a shape that Is entirely
consistent with the figure that wears
it. The coat has that surplice, fichu
line with a rolling collar carrying out
the outline, and Ii ends In a bunch
Of draping yer one hip where the
fastening is marked by a brilliant
green jade buckle. The fringing ut
the lower ends Of the drapery is Of
the same shade of taupe from which
the dress is made.
The lining Of this pal dress is. per-
iiaps, IT'S most interesting feature. 1t
is composed of q striped silk In colors
OF gold anu green, with many vary
ing shades Of these tones woven into
the pattern. The design takes a naive
turn when the lining Suddenly appears
from its hiding place and proceeds
to constitute the lower sections OF
the sleeves in lieu of large and spread
ing cuffs.

Ready for Wear a. Any Time.

Women who have succumbed to the
coat dress are stating positively that
they like it better for street wear than
any other sort of costume. They say
ii means SO much TO have one garment
do the whole trick. They like the idea
of having only to adjust one set of
hooks and eyes, n set of one collar
and n snap at the waistline before
their dressing operations are complete.
You know there Is a great deal In that.
especially if you happen to be busy
all day long and when the elimination
Of labor in your dressing becomes
something 70 be striven for.
A dress of this sort, once 1t has
been completed by a designer who
knows his business. is ready for wear
at any moment, and with the minimum
amount of toll 1t can be snapped into
place with no trouble about collars
and cuffs or waists and skirts or any
Of those nuisances 10 which women
have become SO accustomed that
sometimes they fail to see how pos

Coat Dress Is
to Be in Lead

which gives that ~"snappy" little air so
necessary to the smartest dressing of
the season.
Into many Of the coat dresses the
general tendency for draping has been
carried with a great deal of success.
And this idea is perfectly illustrated
by another coat dress made Of a taupe-
colored wool ~velours, In the lightest
OF It's weights. OF course this ma
terial drapes better than any other
wooden fabric, and II is no wonder
that the designer has chosen 1t TO
carry out this model. Much T. the
manner of the draped afternoon and
evening frocks. this coat dress has
been wrapped around the figure until
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1922-04-20

The coat dress has long been a ris-
ing factor In the wardrobe OF the
American woman. Those who. have
worn them have loved them dearly,
have known that dresses of this gen
eral character could not be duplicated
In any way. But their champions have
been few and far between until the
coming of the present season. Now,
observes o fashion correspondent In
the New York Times, 1t looks very
much as though the coat dress will
lead them all.
For the spring season especially IT
has many attributes. X Is warm
enough without being too warm. II has
the chic of a certain tailoring without
being Of o hard and fast a tailor's
rule. II is trim looking, and, above all.
1t IL SO perfectly suited to all of the
city outdoor activities which are SO
prevalent at just this season.
Then, there are many and various
materials from which the coat dress
can be made. 1t is as good in twill
as It is In duvetyn. 1t Is excellent
In homespun, and it finds one Of its
finest expressions in some of the
heavier silks. In fact, 1t offers the
g dressed woman an opportunity
to show her talent for dressing without
any exterior coverings TO mar the
general effect.
As the openings of American design
ers show their newer creations TO the
world, more and more Of his type of
street frocks are to be seen, and from
h enthusiasm of the women who
are looking at them with q view TO
buying there seems TO be no doubt
that they will be eminently successful.
Does Not Require Tailor.
The o dress is something which
does not necessarily require a tailor to
make satisfactorily. 1t Is a dress which
a clever dressmaker can do quite as
well, and for that reason, it Is often
more becoming than the tailored suit
Of harder lines and more visible stitch
ing. Also the fabrics for coat dress
being Of the softest possible texture,
they then fall more closely in harmony
with the lines of the figure and help
a woman to appear Mt her most grace
full best.
There is n o dress made of satin
and duvetyn, the upper section being
composed of the former material and
the lower Of the latter. Then You can
see at a glance how ~cleverly the ends
of the full, pulled sleeves have been
handled in order TO repeat the heavier
fabric there and to carry out the sim
plicity of the design Of the coat. The
color OF this particular coat dress was
dark blue, the upper section being OF
that same tone. Then the satin of
that bodice portion was carried down
underneath the skirt section 10 make
its lining. The lining was carried out
to the very edge, SO that when the
skirt of the dress bobbed back and

Famous ruins and historic relics have
been shifted under new flags by the
World war just as have places of more
practical and less sentimental value.
And so It happens that the magnificent
ruins of Baalbek. the H~eliopolis of the
Graeco-Isoman world and once the
greatest city OF Syria, are now under
the administration Of the French.
French authority Is the latest OF many
national influences to be exercised over
these world-famous ruins.
Not many centuries after the Roman
Empire crashed and multiple states
rose In Its place, the Arabs caotured
Baalbek. The great temple had been
turned Into a Christian church In the
days of Constantine. Now II was In
turn changed into a mosque. Tanner
lane pillaged the old temple site. Later
came the Turks. and 1t was under their
regime that the Western world first
learned of the stately ruins. Even
German influence was exerted on the
place, for under the Turks German
psychologists excayated and partially
restored the temples.
The Baalbek temples are not minor
ruins. Unexpectedly to most observers
they take one palm from Egypt's pyra-
mids; for in the walls ut Baalbek are
the largest stones ever used by man
I'm erecting a structure-great mono
iiths larger than a freight car.
These ruins, properly speaking, are
known as FL Kalla (CitadeD and are
composed OF only two temples, and
they do not cover a large area when
compared with other ruins IN Syria.
The Great Temple, or the Temple
OF Jupiter, as II is called. had It's main
entrance from the East. Here a wide
flight OF steps led up to the propylaea.
or vestibule, 10 feet above the gardens
and orchards that now surround the
ruins. This portico was open to the
east the full width OF the stairs, and

gods OF Hellopolis by Antoninus and

fortress, and to a certain extent re-
modelled them. The columns mentioned

porticos with stone seats. The Arabs
also blocked this fhree-foid en-
trance and converted the exedrae into
Notifications, filing them with brick
masonry.
After the visit OF the former German
emperor to these ruins, In 1898, u body
Of German e~xcavators was sent to

to 1904. They no only dug down and
removed the debris. but strengthened
weak parts, and, where necessary, they
removed the Arabic work so as to
make the original plan more easily
COMPREHENSIVE to the visitor.

mains.
When these temples were taken pos
session OF by the Christians, a church
was erected over this altar, part OF
which was destroyed and her the
space leveled up with the earth so that
the church floor was above the top Of
the altar; so, also, the lower part Of
the staircase was filled over, while the
upper part vas removed to accommo-
date the apses.
Attributed to Theodosius.
The construction OF this basilica Is
attributed to T~heodosius, Roman EN-
perOr of the East, who reigned towards
the end of the Fourth century Of our
era. The Great temple was demolished
to furnish materials for the construc-
ton OF this church.
The Great Temple Itself has been al
most entirely destroyed. All that is
left ere six columns Of the peristyie,
still standing in their original places,
capped with Corinthian capitals and
Joined by ornate and massive entabla-
ture. These lofty pillars do not taper
as they appear to do when seen from
below. They are over 60 feet high and
7h feet in diameter and are each COM
posed OF three drums.
One can perhaps best mentally re-
construct the Great Temple by an in
10 Bacchus, which lies TO the south
east OF the Great Temple, entirely in
dependent of II and on a lower level.
The walls of the main enclosure or
celia. which Is oblong, are quite plain
on the outside and are built Of care
fully dressed stone, the joints so per-
feet that a knife-blade cannot enter
between. Around this at a distance of
10 feet runs on the two sides and ends
a row Of smooth columns which forms
the peristyle.
: These, including their capitals. are
about 80 feet high and r srrmounted
by a magnificent entabIature. This en-
tablature Is connected with the walls of
the celia by enormous slabs Of stone.

heads OF emperors. deities, and inter

exquisite ceiling.

with figures Of Bacchus, fauns, cupids,
satyrs and bacchantes. V around

fruit, also poppfes and ears OF wheat,

Great Doorway 43 Feet High.
This great doorway. which dwarfs
the human figure. stands IS feet high
and 21h feet wide. while the carving
of the posts just mentioned overs a
space about 6 feet wide. On both
sides OF this door stand graceful fiuted
columns, forming the prostyle or por-
tico. while the plain ones of the peri
style. which stand behind them, seem
to reflect their beauty.

STRIKERS
DEMAND
SENIORITY
Railroad Executives
Take Position That
Men Who Remain
ed at Work Must Be
Protected

Chicago, July .27 (By the Asso-
ciated Press Destruction Of an
incentive to men to remain at work
in case of future strikes will result
if present railroad strikers are al
lowed to return to work with
former seniority rights unimpaired
the Western presidents committee
on public relations of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives said in
a statement issued today. In the
absence from Chicago OF B. NJ
Jewell. head of the striking shop
men and his international presi-
dents, there was no statement
from strike headquarters.
Not only justice" the executive
statements said, but the public in
terest demands that in any settle
ment of the strike the seniority
rights of the men who are now
working shall be recognized.
The men who have stayed at
work during the strike have been
given assurance Of protection not
only by the railroads but the gov
ernment itself" the statement said.
The statement asserted that
.smen who are now working have
claims upon the railways and the
public superior to those Of the
strikers.
A second statement issued by the
executives said tonight that Wes-
tern railways with headquarters in
Chicago report transportation

roads. the statement said. contin-
ued TO handle more freight busi-
ness than year ago and all re-
ported increases in the number of
shop workmen employed.
The Eastern lines, according to
the statement, have 60 per cent. as
many employees working in their
shops now as before the strike
started.
disputes as to wages and work
ing conditions involving 1S rail-
roads including the Norfolk &
Western were submitted today to

hood Of. Maintenance Of Way En-
ployeesI.
The cases were in line with
Mr. CRADLES policy Of refraining
from joining in the rail strike, but
to submit disputes in which he
was unable to reach agreements
with the roads to the rail board.
No date has been set for the
hearings.

Off the strike orders even though
all but two or three Of the major
roads yielded on seniority had not
been discussed. This left the int<-
nation that President Harding
would bring pressure upon the ex-
ecutives of those lines as a part Of
the strike settlement endeavor.
The whole seniority question has
arisen since the strike was called
1t was pointed out. A cut in wages
made effective July under an ar
bitration award Of the labor board
was the only question on which the
men walked out and this would be
accepted in the contemplated re-
turn to work. subject only to a re-
hearing which might be granted.
The Importance attributed to the
seniority issue at today's meetings
was connected by some observers
with the stand known to have been
taken by certain Of President Hard
ing's cabinet advisers. who are said
TO have been urged that he use
every influence to have the rail
roads reconsider their refusal TO
restore seniority rights to strikers
With the strikers back and the
transportation machine again in
normal motion, these advisers have
urged, the other issues in the con-
1roversy would be left to arbitra-
ton.
Labor participants in the presi-
dents conferences had the impres-
sion that President Harding intend
ed TO persuade railroad executives
to yield on the seniority point rath-
er than to use any forcible means
The proposal that the president
might ask congress for further le-
gal authority through the labo,
board or other boards TO enforce
his plans Of settlement apparently
did rot come into the discussion al
today's meeting. The president to-
night. however. it was said, declar-
ed that the railroad executives have
assumed responsibility themselves
for continuing the strike in case
he determined that their attitude
did not square with administration
views Of what the companies
should do in the situation.

lengthy reply from the White

position on the rail and coal strikes,
was the belief expressed here today
by Samuel Gompers, president of

The message to Mr.. Harding pre-
dicted that Ito attempt to oper-

draft men would result in the

and labor"

protected in their lawful pursuits
against interference and violence,

mittins that question to the 6eci-
