FLAY U.S. WASTE"
ON PUBLIC WORKS
Engineers Suggest Bureau to
Eliminate Conditions
Called Appalling.

Alleging that the present methods
of the Government in prosecuting
public works and similar functions
are marked with gross inefficiency
and appalling waste" the American
Engineering Council decided today to
take the lead in advocating general
plan for revisions in these lines of
governmental activities, looking to-
ward the eventual establishment of a
special bureau of public works under
the Department of Interior.
An official statement of the organ
fzation says:
THE gross inefficiency and appall-
ing waste in the public works and
functions of the Government have
reached the stage where it is the
clear duty of the engineering pro-
fession to step in and suggest revi-
sions and improved methods for the
benefit of the country generally"
Plan to BE Prepared.
Gardner S. Williams. chairman of
tho committee on Government reor-
ganiZation as il relates to engineer
ing, was placed in charge of the
work of compiling n plan whereby
the public works agencies of the Ma
tlon could be co-ordinated in one
governmental bureau and made the
"OTh OIL men III ana Teldleu TO the
engineering profession.
This committee will formulate Il
plan outlining the position of the en-
gineering council and the next step
will be to press for congressional ac-
tion on II. The plan will include such
public works as relates to roads, riv-
ers and harbors, water power and
similar functions. Among other things,
the engineers decided to move to have
49, ,srr-f al. n1
in the proposed bureau of public works.
Four vice presidents and a treas
urer were selected at the meeting
today, President James Hartness,
former Governor of Vermont, contin-
uing as president of the council dur
ing the coming year under the two
year tenure of office plan. The fol-
lowing officers were chosen: Vice

Durable Leather Flowers
Can Be Made at Home

Leather flowers, which are very at
tractive, used as trimming on felt
hats or as bOutonnieres, can be made
at home. They will be more durable,
also, as the leather in those purchased
ready-made in the shops, is Of cheap
er grade.
The first step, after having bought
a piece of leather is to decide on the
design Of the flowers and leaves and
cut them out. 1t has been found a
good plan to make a circle with a
compass and draw a diameter across it
as a guide, then the semi-circles can
be divided into as many petals as de-
sired. After the flower has been worked
out In the rough, as it were, it is then
easy to shape it with pair Of scissors.
Moulding the petals comes next. Wet
the leather well and run blunt instru-
ment "a handle Of teaspoon will dOD
several times down each petal from
end to end. If this is done from the
outside, the petals will be convex, if
from the inside, cOncave. The tips Of
the petals can be rolled up by the
thumb. Leather is very pliable while
1t is wet and if dried quickly before
strong fire, will generally retain the
shape given to it. The leaves are made
in the same manner as the petals, veins
can be drawn on them with a knitting
needle.
The assembling of the various parts
is the next step in this interesting Oc-
eupation. The outer petals should be
larger in size than the inner ones and
decrease in size until the center il
reached, one fitting into the other. The
center holds the whole flower together
and can be made in a number Of diff
ferent ways-a tiny artificial flower, q
bead, small beads in wire circles, a
piece Of rich brocade or even OF the
leather wound around a button or
bead, a wire thrust through the ma
terial used and wound around the
petals on the outside completes the
flower and without the aid Of needle
and thread. The wire used should be
very fine.
II one desires to vary the flowers or
make them more elaborate, the petals
can be painted or tinted.

new ideals in styles. One most con-
spicuOus ar 'rg these is Mouliere, long
known to the old Faubourg Of Paris,
who has lately been discovered by the
more Travelled American and English
women Of fashion. This designer de-
clares for the conventional, for correct
form, and declines the opportunity to
become famous by way Of the sensa-
tlOnal. His things are first Of all de-
signed for the individual. each type a
separate and distinct creation.
The woman with a preference for a
specific type Of dress, or who declines
to accept the most popular mode, finds
an ally in MOuliere The charm of
Mouliere gowns is their simplicity and
even balance, most attractively illus
trated in those for morning and after
noon. These are designed with much
versatility. The flaring skirt is, Of
course, shown in many of these day
time frOcks, the effect being accom-
plished with a deep circular fiOunce,
the widening line Of which begins just
below the hips, with one or more bias
ruffles or with inserted or applied
gOdet This model is made with equal
success in soft crepes, satins, fine wool
ems and velvets.

Animals and Insects to
Decorate New Jewelry

Paris has taken up the wearing Of
animals and insects in silver, mounted
on long-shaped brooches. The pin is
quite plain The lizard or snake is
curled around it. AS a rule, the orna-
ment is kept on a small scale, and
from a distance cannot be distin-
guished from the pin. around which
1t has wrapped itself. It is often only
the tiny emerald pin-point eyes that
attract attention to the animal at all.
The same design is used for brace
lets-the simple silver hoop being dec
GRATED with a silver ornament gen
orally highly conventionalized, the
eyes again being the only indication
that It Is intended to represent an
animal Rings Ia silver, but beauti-
fully wrought, the workmanship bring
ing up the price almost to that Of a
gold ring, are also seen with similar
designs.

Metal Belts for Women
Among New Fall Models

After being out Of style for years,
metal belts for women are again
making their appearance in Paris. A
remarkable belt made up of ancient
silver coins was seen there recently
over a white robe, worn just above the
hips. It was said to be very effective.
There is also a decided inclination to
adopt jeweled belts, although 1t cannot
be said that there is anything like a
general vogue for them. Those that
have been seen either are antiques or
very clever limitations. For slight wom-
en- the introduction of a touch of color
over the hips is very effective, and
broad, red leather belts are much seen.
BY the less slender a chain Of stones
Of some semi-precious material, held to-
gether by metal links, Is more favored
There is an inclination towards a high
er waistline So far it has been seen
chiefly on the stage, but it is there and
must be reckoned with by all inter
ested in the influence Of styles on
jewelry.
