you may like one OF these sweater
sets for general daytime wear.
The two-piece tailored cloth suit
once seemed an ideal costume for
the college girl. Freshly laundered
blouSeS gave 1t a fresh aspect. Just
why 1t is that American women are
so much less inclined to revive the
suit at present than French women
it is hard to say; or rather, from the
American point Of view, 1t is hard to
see why the French have been so
glad to readopt the suit. The short
wasted appearance produced by wear
ing the suit skirt with a tuck-in
blouse, sans the suit jacket, seems
most unattractive to most girls here.
They find the shortened waistline
rather to their taste in an evening
frock-but certainly not when pro.
duced by q separate blouse and skirt
The girl who does not want to fol-
low the beaten track in her school
wardrobe really should include a
smart little suit. She will find 1t Il
most useful street and informal aft
ernoon costume.
Whatever the fate of the jumper
for general wear, 1t remains secure
in the estimation of schoolgirls. And
they like the real two-piece jumper
piece jumper effect of the sort that
some of the French dressmakerS are
making this Autumn. Usually the
skirt of the jumper is mounted on
silk top. For informal afternoon
or everyday wear you may like one
of the new wool crepe jumper frocks,
made with a comfortable collar line.
long sleeves. Of course, and skirt
showing pleats at the front. Some Of
the new wool-jersey jumper frocks
are attractive, and for warmer wear
there are jumper frocks of tweed.
Plaid velveteen in rich shades of blue
and green or tan and brown is some
times made into a jumper top, worn
with a wool skirt of plain harmonic
ing color.
For evening clothes the college or
school girl has not very great need
at this time of the year. Evening
activities do not usually begin until
after the Thanksgiving vacation
possibly not until after Christmas.
One or two dance frocks is all that
most girls would need for the time
being, and If strict economy is neces-

Qualities of RAYS.
THE properties of rays and radiation

THE properties of rays and radiation
have been prominently before the
public for some time. Wonderful claims
have been made for a ray-that 1t
cures disease, stops motor cars afar
off, sets fire to combustibles at a dis
lance, etc. From the scientific point
Of view, as will be seen from a con-
sideration of radiations, there is
germ of truth in these fanta s4ic
claims; nevertheless, che conclusion
must he that the claims are without
foundation and are, in fact, false.
When a scientist speaks of rays or
radiation he means streams of energy
issuing from a source where they are
generated and moving outward in
ever increasing and widening circles.
This energy exists in two principal
forms-as waves in the imponderable
ether which fills all space, and as
swiftly moving material particles.

War Declarations.

In ancient days when the king Ut
one country decided to declare war
on another country. 1t was he alone
who made the decision. 1t was not
necessary for him to consult any one
else as to the time or reason for such
a declaration.
In the modern nation 1t is a parlia.
ment or congress- representing the
entire country, that has the power to
declare war. Not one mans judg-
ment, but that of many, makes IL pos
sible to put an army into the field.
