WHAT MEN MUST.
WEAR this YEAR
Wide Leg Trousers - Double
Breasted Coats, Wide Belts
and Soft Hats With Loud
Bands

ATLANTA. Ca, Sept. 11.-When
the Chinese want to increase the
consumption of cotton cloth they
wear an extra cotton SHIFT. When
there is not so much cotton to be
had the Celestials make themselves
contented with fewer shirts. T2-t
is their way Of complying with the
law of supply and demand.
An appeal was made to the Ma
1ional Association of Retail Cloth
iers at their convention in Chicago
recently from which a number of
the Peachtree Arcade clothiers have
returned to help out the consump-
ton of the product of the wooden
mills by making Oxford'bag trousers
the style. for men. But the retail
clothiers wouldn't do it, the Arcade
dealeres said, While the young
sters NAV continue to wear pants
with very wide legs it is expected
the conservative business man and
the we'll dressed young men will
content themselves with moderate
width say from IS to 10 inches.
This, correspondent is advised by
the, Arcade fashion experts what
men are expected to wear this fall
and winter to be in style. For in
nee, it is declared the chief de-
md will be for double-breasted
ode, unfinished fabrics. the coat
shonId be medium length and easy
fitting, with long lapels. Second
in color designs will come forest
shades with brown, ranging from
light tans to dark browns follow
ing.
Decidedly belts will be the vogue
with all trousers. The hose will be
fancy in both silk and wool, and the
hats will have wider brims and fancy
hat bands. Ninety-five per cent OF
the hats will be soft. Many color
ed creations in shirts with plain
white and solid designs will remain
in favor. There are no old mems
clothes now, it is stated.

Strange Sense of Iumor Shown
By Tornado in the Middle West

@ HE recent tornado in the Mid
die West, one of the most
terrible in history, was also
4 one of the most horribly freak
ish and whimsical.

porch, carried across the street and
hung by his coat to the top of a
telephone pole. A beautiful house
had it's entire front removed in about
a minute and a half, and when the
darkness cleared dead horse lay in
the once charming drawing room!
1t would seem that only some enor-
mously powerful pagan god with a
strange sense of humor could have
conceived these pranks.
The storms whole behavior, indeed,
was like that of some insane clown
giving way to his weird caprices. 1t

like a drunken dancer, leaving agony
and death wherever it touched the

horrid delight it leaped across the

Then the crazy giant bounded ten
miles to the east, to Murphysboro, in
eXplicably ignoring the intervening
country, leaving it untouched. 4
1t pounced upon Murphysboro, a
town of 1900 and dealt fearful chas-
tisement to almost exactly half the
homes in the town.
Then 1t lodged Carbondale and
whirled Northwest to De Soto. This
village it practically obliterated. Only
500 people lived there, Of whom 118
were killed outright, and 200 were
injured.

Tarnish- Resisting Silver.

4 NEW kind of misunderstanding
silver has been developed by
British silver manufacturing COM
pany. The material, which is 92:5
per cent silver alloy, has been put
ITO practical test by the manufacture
of articles from it and the results
have been reported to the Silver Trade
Technical Society. The new alloy is
said to stand up to the heat necessary
foG soldering and to keep shape while
being heated. 1t will bear more heat
than standard silver and will allow
of a considerable amount of manipti-
Iation without developing any defect.
British housewives are following the
experiments with interest in the hope
that egg and fruit stained silverware
will soon be problems of the past
