row girdles draped loosely about the
figure, crossed in the back and brought
to the front again with one end looped
over the other, suggest height.
The stout woman should choose soft,
nonlustrous materials, such as crepe
de chine, crepe georgette, serge, gabar-
dine, wolfe and batiste. Plaids and
large-fgured materials are out of the
question and stripes should be eau
tiously chosen. Colors should be
avoided that make the lines of the
figure stand out prominently, clothing
experts in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture affirm in recent
bulletin on selection and care of cloth
ing. Taupe, gray and dark blue are
usually best in this respect, but all
dull, dark colors are safer than light
or bright ones.
Suit coIors to Wearer.
Colors should be carefully chosen
not only in relation to the figure but
in reference to the complexion, color
of the hair and eyes of the wearer as
WELL There is no general rule by
which one can choose becoming colorS.
Therefore, one must rely on ones own
taste, judgment and experience. In
general women with fresh, clear COM
plexions find a greater range of be-
coming colOrs than others who have
little color, but patient experimental
ton will discover those which are be-
coming to either type. 1t is safe to
choose such colors as are in harmony
with the color of the eyes, hair and
complexion.
Dark blue is a universally becoming
color. Taupe, dark blue, black and
gray in which violet predOminates are
good colors to be used by the woman
who is stout. Bright aggressive colors
make the stout figure seem larger.
Bright gay colors may be chosen for
the young, slight girlish figure, but
always with a thought to the general
coloring.

WOmen's clothing requires more
careful thought than that for men and
children. The intermediate type of
figure is not difficult to clothe attrac-
lively but the more extreme types, the
slender and the stout, need careful
attention. Once a woman has decided
on the type of design which suits her
best, she should choose clothing which
in general lines is always the same.
Monotony can be avoided by using
different materials and trimmings.
Such garments may usually be kept
In good style by slight changes In
sleeves, collar and fullness of the
skirt.
For very tall, slight people, designs
should be chosen that suggest round
ness and normal height. Soft, full
blouses, full skirts, and draped ef-
fects are good if the height seems
too great, horizontal lines brought
into the costume by means of founces,
bands and tucks will tend to reduce
it. Plaids and figured materials with
large areas of design are admissible
on slight, tall figure; also soft, deep
pile stuffs for coats, and bright, SHIN
merry, lustrous materials are good.
Design for Stout Figure.
For the stout figure, designs could
be chosen that suggest height and slen-
derness. Loose, easy-ftting garments
with straight, unbroken lines suggest
height. Lines that carry the eye to
the center of the figure will diminish
its breadth. No lines should carry di-
rectly across the figure, for they seem
to lessen the height and increase the
breadth of the figure. Separate waists
and skirts, unless the waist is of the
same color as the skirt or is so adj
justed as to fall over the skirt, will
tend to broaden the figure and dimin-
ish the height. A surplice line for
the opening of the waist is good; mar

The General Federation of Wom-

International relations, in view Of
the League of Nations, the armament
conference and the Genoa confer
ence, are important matters these
days-as well as interesting. And Of
course international affairs bulk espe-
cially large in Washington. So an
additional activity of the General Fed
GRAFTON is indicated by the creation Of
a national committee on international
relations by the board of directors.
Mrs. Charles e. Hughes is the honor
airy chairman and the chairman is
Mrs. Horace M. Towner, wife of Rep
resentative Towner of Iowa.
"The most vital thing that women
can do now in helping the peace move

ter, announcing Mrs. Towner's APP
pointment.
The first activity Of the new COM
mittee will be the observance May 80
of an International Memorial day. As
preliminary to establishing friendly
international relationships, greetings
have been sent to the women of Can

include an initiation to send delegates
to the Biennial Convention of Ameri-
can clubwomen to be held at Chau-
tauqua, n. Y, in June.

eral Federation has unselfishly given
generous support to all betterment
movements, choosing to aid in con-
structive attainment rather than de-
vote it's income to housing it's inter
ests. 1t has thus come about that the
General Federation has witnessed city
declarations and county and state
groups well housed before it has
taken up consideration of permanent
national headquarters.
All through these years there has
been unity in diversity-diversity in
political convictions, in religious
faiths, in racial traditions, but unity
in the federation of effort for the we'll
being of the nation. Of the General
Federation, it has been said, 'There
is no other group of women as large
in all the world or so closely bound to-
gether." This bond of ever-increas-
ing unity and influence has demon
Strated the necessity of establishing
permanent headquarters = headquar-
tiers which are to be a visible symbol
of strength and Capitalization of pur-
pose, maintaining continuity of effort
and organization while administra-
lions come and go.
At the biennial convention of 1920
in Des Moines, Ia, resolution was
adopted to the effect that the Gen
Washington headquarters commensu-
rate with the dignity, size and influ-
ence of the organization" In 1921
the board appointed as committee at
headquarters Mrs. w. S. Jennings

merhorn, second vice president, and
Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, director from
California, with Mrs Schermerhorn as

USING STALE BREAD

There need be no waste of
stale bread. For bread that is
not allowed to become moldy
may be used in a variety of
ways, discarding only the brown
crusts and these are sometimes
dried, crushed and used in grid
die cakes. Small bits of leftover
bread, slices that have become
too dry for use as toast, crou-
tons and such like, should be
dried in the warming oven, COW
cred with a piece of cheese
cloth to protect Thorn from dust,
then passed through a meat
chopper and sifted. The fine
crumbs are used for crumbling
croquettes, outlets, etc., and the
coarse crumbs for the top of au
gratin dishes. Such crumbs
should be stored in glass jars
and they will keep long time
if placed in a cool dry place.

"at home" This headquarters is,
of course, in the national capital.
Washington, in these later days, is
the place of places for headquarters
of such an association of women.
The World war and it's aftermath has
made Washington not only national,
but world center. The women Of
nationwide organizations have been
prompt to see Washington's advan-
tages as an aid to their work. The
charm of natural surroundings, the adj
vantage Of department and bureau en-
vironment, the benefit to be derived
from locating at the axis of national
activities, the privileges offered for
making helpful contacts with other
groups of organized women-these
and other considerations have led
many wOmen's organizations to estab-
lish headquarters in the Capital City.
The General Federation holds its
conventions, concerts and board meet
ings in the big cities of the country,
chosen according to circumstances. Its
first headquarters of sorts was a
bureau of information at Portsmouth,
N. FL. This bureau of information was
moved to Washington. There it de-
veloped other phases of headquarters
activity until it outgrew it's rooms in
the Maryland building.
The new club house will function as
Ia research and legislative headquar-
ters, as publishing and distributing
center, as a conference and council
hall, and as a social residence with
possibilities for fostering national and
international fellowship.
Explanation of the comparative
Islowness of the General Federation to
establish commensurate headquarters
In Washington lies in the work of
the federation. For a quarter of a
century and more the club movement
has sought to create in every commu-
nifty a group of organized women who
can be depended upon to promote all
movements looking toward the better
Iment of life. In this quarter of CEN
fury of growth clubs have been or
Iganized all over American city man
Sions, in farm houses in school houses
kt crossroads in cabins ON the noun
itainside, in pioneer huts of the from
tier.
The General Federation of Women's
Clubs has aided in the formation of
libraries, the establishing of kinder
gartens, the erection of musical club
houses, the fostering of travelling art
exhibits, the stimulation of conserva-
tion of natural resources, the pur-
chase of play grounds, the main
tenance of rooms and wards in hos
pitfalls, the encouragement of good
roads, the supervision of erection of
war memorials, the initiation of the
school lunchroom, the adoption of the
children's clinic, the promotion of
the study of mothercraft In short,
the ideals of the club movement are
expressed through departments of fine
arts, applied education, public well
fare. American citizenship, legislation
and press.

Work Goes Forward
 Rapidly at Hospital

Tuskegee. October 13.-The govern ment hospital for disabled negro sol- dlers located near Tuskeges. is being rapidly pushed towards completion. The main fire proof. steel building Is about complete. Expert men are put ting on the finishing touches, and in a few days 1t will stand in the midst of the other 25 buildings.
 There will be 2,7oo feet of floor space in the three stories of this building, and 1t will contain sufficient wards for 800 patients. Only few of the buildings remain unrcofed, and work is being pushed on all of these. Machines are busy diging ditches for the sewerage, and also in putting down the concrete streets about the buildings Work has already begun on the concrete road from the hos- pital grounds to Chehaw. a railroad point three miles away on the West ern road.
 The personnel of the workmen on the grounds has changed, and now a large per cent of them are skilled in their special line. Blair and San- ford, contractors, have held a steady hand during the construction cf this great plant. and they hope to complete it on schedule time.

Standard OH Takes
 Break on N. Y. Curb
By Associated Press

New York, October 1S.-Although Standard oil of New Jersey was traded in on tho stock exchange break of nearly 20 points in that stock had an unsettling influence to- day in trading in the Standard oil issues on the curb exchange and there was much conjecture as to whether the same dividend policy an- nounced by Standard Oil of Kew Jer- sey would prevaH1in dividend action by other companies in this group. Standard oil Of New York, which started at 645, dropped to 63t in the first half of the day and the new shares of that company when issued were traded in on a large scale, about 15,000 shares changing hands at 55& m54. Indiana dropped from 129 to 127 and Imperial oil of Canada from 124 to 121. Several other stocks in the same group showed substantial losses. Gulf States was in supply and ranged from 65 to @.
 In the industrial group interest was attached to the trading in the new National Biscuit stock which sold during the forenoon at 30.

TUSKEFEE MURDER
 CASES ARE SET

Tuskegee. october 13.-(specialD-- The fall term of the Macon county court will open Monday. october 1s, and will continue for two weeks. The first week will be given over to the work of the grand jury and the civil docket.
 The docket for the week on murder cases is crowded. The case of Hill. who it is alleged shot and killed Mckay on the streets of Notasulga, will attract great deal of attention. both being prominent white men of Notasulga. The case of Whitlow, coiored, who killed his wife 6n the Breedloye plantation, and then tried to have her buried before the mur- der was detected. will also be of state wide interest.
