PARIS FASHIONS
HAVE SLIGHT
CHANGES
Grand Openings of Season
Show But Few Radical
Features
BY ALICE IAANGELIER
International News Service

PARIS, Sept. Exchanges in fall
fashions are to be slight and subtle
rather than radical and far-reach-
ing, according to the dressmakers
now holding their grand openings
in Paris.
AS to the silhouette, the modifi-
cations in general are making for
greater grace, for with the more
normal waistline has come a bal.
ancing flare in the skirts, intro
duced by the use of the popular
godet, by flounces and gathers at
the waist, circular cuts and all
can suggest They know that the
women on the whole ara content
with the present silhouette, and
therefore they are avoiding any
radical alterations that would
change the general lines
Womank wants new styles as
usual, but she wants them to be
new without changing too greatly
the slim and graceful lines she
is wearing at present.
Some of the most important
houses continue to flare the line in
front, still others flare it at the
sides, and more flare It all around.
There are also straightline silhou-
cites for the women who won't or
can't stand for any new-fangled
flares, no matter how lovely they
be. Philippe ct CASTOR are max.
ing new sort Of skirt, barrel
shaped by the simple means of
drawing in the hem little.
The Welly Soeurs persist in the
straight line and take little inter
est in the flare. The Maison Jane
is using the flare line to great
advantage in a number of attract
i've and wearable morning and
afternoon dresses. A blue georg-
-ette gains fullnesa for its skirt in
two tiers pIeated in diamond pat
terms, while short cape carries
the effect higher in the back.
Paquin has many new backs and
skirts that are extremely well
made. There are TERED skirts of
two, three, four and five tiers.
There are circular skirts, either
ruffled or accordion pleated. Backs
nave an oval piece elongated from
neck to waistlne surrounded by a
chiffon ruffle that enlarges into an
apron where it, meets the skirt.

young fellows think about"
They had not observed John

quietly into. the room.

Hammond. Frank, you can't

POSSIBLE NEED OF A NEW
SLOGAN

Safety first" having from usage
lost it's potency with a novelty-lov-
ing generation, that apparently
doesn't like to think for itself. a new
one is being sought.
America having, last year. burned
up improved property to the tune Of
s54S, 500, 000-we haven't learned the
amount of improved property wasted
through fire-there seemed to be
need of new name for Fire Pre-
vention Week, Oct. 4-10. One au-
thority compromises on Greater
Fire Prevention Week." but will that
appeal to tickle fancy?
We are told that this is the fourth
consecutive year that such fire losses
have exceeded the half billion mark,
although everyone knows there has
been some really effective work done
over that period to aid fire proven
ton. OF course the population is in
creasing, but that hardly. accounts
for the increased fire loss in the face
of all the efforts that have been
made, really practical efforts at that.
However, this is no occasion to be
discouraged because there Is a
chance that we may wake up to the
magnitude of our national careless
ness in handling fire. the worlds
longtime and powerful servant
when properly supervised.

OPPORTUNITY SLIPPING FAST


AS we remember it the contracts
for free rocks and gravel, building
material, for the construction of the
Augusta Belfast highway were con-
tingent upon work being done on this
necessary piece of construction dur
ing the year, 1925.
Some are wondering if the State
will disregard this offer and the say
ing from such an arrangement. NO
where else have we seen an offer so
creditable to the petitioners for a
highway service or so advantageous
to the State, which should be desir-
GUS Of saving $4,000 to 100000, an
amount estimated as a saving by
reason of free material.
There is no questioning the fact
that this Improvement is needed and
there has seemed to be no opposition
from the Commissioners, whose
statement that this would be one Of
the. first projects to be built when
money became available, has been
accepted as their real attitude.
It would seem that with only three
months of the calendar year remain
ing some action should promptly be
taken.

IMPORTANT INCIDENT IN
PHILIPPINES

It will be recalled that when Gen
eral Wood went to the Philippines
evidently against his inclination, he
was called upon to face difficult
situation. The political leaders In
the Philippines, given license under
a Democratic administration respon-
sible for the Jones Act, had gotten
affairs, especially those financial, in
to bad shape. improvements that
had been made under previous ad-
ministrations had not been kept up;
the leaders assumed there was but
step ahead to what they termed in
dependence and proceeded to demon
strate what they would do If they
got it. What they succeeded IN do
ing was not promising for the future
of the islands or for the welfare Of
the Filipino people.
General Wood put on the brakes
and has been struggling to keep then
on. In this he has been supported
by the auditor. Now decision bJ
the latter has been referred to Fill.
Pine supreme court which has decid-
ed against the auditor. The case
now goes for review to the Supreme
Court of the United States. If this
court of last resort sustains the de-
| cision of the Filipino court the in.
cident will serve to emphasize in the
minds of the Filipino leaders, deter
mined as they are to rule or ruin
these words in the Jones Act passed
by a Democratic Congress and ap.
proved by President Wilson: &c
withdraw their sovereignty over the
Philippine Islands and to recognize
their independence as soon as a
stable government can be established
therein"
The Filipinos should not be per-
mitted to forget that until sovereign
ty may be relinquished the United
States Government, through the
President, the Supreme Court and
the Congress, will have the power
to make final determination respect
ing any judicial, executive or legis-
lative act of the insular authorities

SHIPPING CITY NO LONGER

Bath, the shipping city, is much in
the same predicament about living
up to her name as is Maine with re-
spect to the title, "Pine Tree State.
The Bath Iron Works, a name re-
spected among the shipbuilders, is
not to carry with it the same signifi-
canoe as heretofore. Shipbuilding in
Bath is at low ebb, likewise there
are few Of the tall pines left in
Maine.
Happily the Iron Works plant Is
not to be strapped or moved from
the state. The purposes for which
1t will be used are not definitely de-
termined but the purchasers say it
will not be employed in ship build
fngt 1t appears they were convinced
that 1t could be profitably used. for
other purposes and paid more for It
than those who planned to continue
the. building were willing to
pay. Bath is to- be congratulated if
the buyers convictions prove sound.
The volume OF business to be done
in the city seems assured to that ex-
tent, but the pride in the high char
acter of ship building for which this
plant had won world wide reputa-
ton passes out of immediate consid-
GRAFTON.
POSSIBLY some of Baths artisans,
noqed for their skill in the construc-
top of ships are wondering where
they may fit into the new scheme.
Anyhow no one may take from them
the honor Of having been good ship
builders. none better.

"a ,ssp by David Cory

You remember in the last story
Little Reader, that dear Uncle Lucky
was entertaining the Yellow Dog
Tramp, Old Mr.. Dog and Little JACK
Rabbit. Of course you do, and you
haven't forgotten the pretty song the
two old bow vows sang.
Pretty soon Old Mr.. Dog pulled
from his pocket the Lettuce Leaf
Dollar bill which he had received for
his Cross Word Puzzle. First money
ever earned with my brains" he
said, with a smile and wag of his
thin tail. II feel like millionaire,
so 1 do. But 1 must be going home
to my little log hut in the Shady
Forest. My friend, tiny wren, who
has built herself a nest near, Will
be wondering where I am. | would
hate to worry her. Many time she
has cheered me with song" Then,
picking UP his cap. Old Mr.. Dog said
goodby and trotted off.
"Well, 1 must be going, too" said
the Yellow Dog Tramp, after few
minutes.
."The Shady Wood is calling me,
From every nest in leafy tree
A little feathered friend peeps out
To see if am round about.
They know when I'm beneath a tree
They need not fear an enemy.
They Perch upon my old straw hat
And talk to me Of this and that,
and with wag of his tail and friend
~ goodby, he, too, trotted off for the
Shady Forest, leaving the old gentle
man rabbit and the bunny boy to eat
the nice luncheon that Little Miss
Mousie had set on the table.
Just as they were finishing the
dessert of stewed lolypops, the Old
Red Rooster looked in at the open
window. May l have the afternoon
OFF," he asked, with flap of his
wings.
Going to the movies?" inquired the
old gentleman rabbit, with a wink
at Little Miss Mousie.

CONFLICTING EVIDENCE

i Is not to be expected that those
WHIP were on board the Shenandoah
Outing the catastrophe would agree
In their accounts of what happened,
the circumstances were not con-
dueive to clear conclusions. Those
who examined the wreck after the
vandals were through with it could
not learn all, but at least they should
not conflict as the actual conditions
then existing.
The difficulty of any commission or
the" public arriving at definite con-
illusions sticks out all over the evil
dence now being brought out at
Lakehurst. Does any builder of air.
ships really know from what hap
pened in that terrible air maelstrom
just how an airship should be built
safely to navigate the air over land
subjected to such conditions? Even
though they make the claim most of
us will recall that similar claims
have been disproven by tests.

NEWS EDITORS BIG TASK

1.-THE struggle between the honest
editor on the one hand and the
would be exploiters of the press on
the other is never ending. Today,
as you read these words, men at
newspaper copy desks all over the
country are blue-penciling page after
page of speculation, half-truth, prop
uganda and falsehood foisted upon
them in the guise of news. Some
times, with terrific odds against
them of instantaneous communica-
ton and rapid printing, they slip.
Theirs is tough job at best, and
they are not infallible. But in the
main they are successful in their
daily effort to assess the Importance
of what comes to- them, to isolate
rumors, defeat news takers and
propagandists, and present to you
the honest facts you must have if
your picture of the world in which
you live is to be truthful and COM
plete."
So, out Of his valuable experience,
the superintendent of the Eastern
DivisionAof the Associated Press, Ed
ward McKernon, writes for the Oc-
tober Harper's magazine.
The readers of the daily news can
have little conception Of the effort
that is daily being made to secure
publicity through the medium of the
news columns. This effort Is not
confined to those who would do this
for unworthy objects. On the con-
trary some conscientiously believe
they are doing good through propa-
ganda really if not consciously de-
signed to impose on the reader an
exaggerated idea of Importance and
which would be confusing rather
than informative in its effect on the
public mind.
