In United States
On the Decrease

WASHINGTON, Sept. H.
Coffee drinking in the United
States is on the decrease, the

year ended June 80, 1925. was
10000, 900 pounds less than the
preceding year, the department

rose from 14.4 cents to 2o.S
cents.

Paris Solues Problem
of Fat linn Woman

surfaced material and be pressed quit
flat to the figure. Nor may flowers
be placed upon the outside line of the
hips, but must be laid slightly to tbs
back or TO the front Of the hipbone.
thus diminishing apparent width.
EARRINGS AVOIDED.
For evening dress, wide shoulders
can be effectively narrowed by cut
ting the decolletage into a deep point
in front and a low, rounded shape in
the back. For day gowns the pointed
decolletage is always felicitous, inso-
much that fines down the thicker lines
of the neck. For very young woman
who is too fat, earrings must be en-
tirely avoided, but mature lady who
is stout sometimes gains dignity by
wearing long, rather aggressive-look-
ing earrings, which lengthen the neck
lines. In these days, when the sleeve
less gown is so popular the adipose
woman must have the courage to relin-
quish all idea Of wearing them. Either
the very long, close sleeves or the
short one concealing the top and thick
err part Of the arm are the only models
that can be becoming. Nothing is
uglier than a very fat, bare arm.
COATS MUST BE LOOSE.
All coats worn by the plump wom-
an must be full and loose and comfort
able. Those that c'ose with a cross
over effect are the most becoming, and
the raglan sleeve well cut and well
adjusted. lessons the breadth of the
shoulders. and the thickness of the
shoulder blades. and makes for slim
outline. Let the fat lady avoid yokes
on the tops of her gowns in spite of
their growing popularity. Pleats and
lines from shoulders to hens on all
cloaks are recommended to all stout
ladies, and long, narrow, hanging
scarfs also. For tailored gowns the
waistline must not even be indicated
when worn by stout women. Indeed
all coat dresses or cloaks ought to be
worn 'vide" or "emptied" in effect
so that the real lines of the figures are
ever vague.

PARIS, Sept. 12.-How TO appear
slim though fat-thst is the modern
question. All fashions of the houl
are made-or appear to be made
exclusively for the thin fat lady. One
wonders how it is that Parisiennes
who some years ago presented some
rotundity of outline seem today to be
all as slim as laths.
The truth is that all Parisiennes
lowered with excess embonpoint not
only make every effort by means OF
dieting, massaging, and the practice of
all outdoor sports, to obtain finer lines,
but moreover they give themselves up
to a careful study of the ways and
means of modern dress and especially
a studied choice of clothes and care
full selection of materials.
UNOBTRUSIvE MATERIALS.
The stout lady will first of all es-
chew with vigor such materials as are
patterned over with large flowery or
geometrical designs, scattered and
apart. If a patterned surface is used
at all it must be only those of the
smallest and unobtrusive kind, and
must form a sort of blurred effect
rather than distinctively clear motifs.
The fat lady will also be wise in
avoiding materials with too great a
sheen. Bright glistening satins-
even il black, are not for them. Dull
crepes, marocain or de chine will suit
them far better; neither will a strik-
ing combination of two colors be al.
lowed them, even when the two ma
terials used are of the same kind, and
when the joining line is set
horizontally as has been so fashion
able lately. But a long slim coat
dress Of one color opening over an
other lighter or darker shade is per-
advisable.
SUITABLE SUITINGS.
A material that holds the popular
taste of the hour is mousseline de
sole, and used three-fold or four-fold
even, it forms tailored costumes, es-
pecially when the edges and hens are
bound round with some heavier ma
terial, such as serge or kasha. But
a stout woman ought never to wear
dress, even if it is made
in dark color.
Crepe Roman, a little thicker and
less "floppy," is far more suitable,
clinging more TO the lines of the figure
and showing none Of the fluid light
ness of mousseline. Evening gowns OF
crepe Roman trimmed with flo- ers
that lift draperies upon the hips. look
well for stout women, on condition

A COLLAPSE THAT DIDN'T
COME

Last summer ard fan, when the
prices of wheat and corn were
steadily going n3,ssit was not UNI
common. to hear street talk that
the rising prices of grain were due
to a political conspiracy and that
as soon as the election was over
the whole think would collapse.
Such charges were uniformly
ridiculous, but here and there
could be found man who believed
them and who felt that the whole
trend Of the grain market was due
to manipulation in the interest OF
certain candidates.
The election came and went,
but still grains continued to- as
cehd until this week we have seen
wheat being bought by millers at
over $500 a bushel It is now the
middle of January and if there had
been anything whatsoever to this
political story, we would now see
wheat selling at dollar or less a
busheI
As matter of fact, the prices
of corn and wheat are high. because
the old law of supply and demand
is operating at the same old stand.
The only sad fact about the situa-
ton, so far as our local territory
is concerned, is that mot many of
our farmers have much wheat or
corn to offer, no matter how high
the price may go.
Most of them, however, are glad
to see a strong market on these
products, for lit bespeaks a better

FARMERS AND THE 8+H0UR
RTII

A basic 8-hour bill, introduced
bv "a Milwaukee socialist, is in the
state senate favorably reported.
1t applies to factories and manu-
featuring establishments, probably.
including garages. This means
eight hours a day, and Of course
also that Saturday half holidays
will be of the past if this bill be-
comes law. These holidays are.
precious to workers and always
prevail on their initiative If there
be any time, beyond eight hours
the pay must be one and half,
but even overtime can occur only
in great emergencies" and then
not to exceed thirty days year.
Ostensibly the agricultural class
is excluded, but no class actually
is more fundamentally affected,
since an iron 4bound 8-hour day
lure boys from the farm. Even
now rural fathers have it hard
enough to keep their boys at home.
If this bill is to be taken ser
iously emphatitally an amend
ment is essential making it, not
an S-hour a.day measure, but
rather, AS hours a week. Then
exactly the same end will be at
tanned, workers being able to
gain their coveted Saturday half
holiday ny laboring nine hours or
a trifle less on five days, the rest
up to 4S hours on Saturday. Such
compromise certainly seems
more just to employees and no less
satisfactory to employers.
But farmers, unfortunately, are
losers either way!
