Women Should Serve

After her first appointment Mrs. Mott

to bring the public schools of their

Regulating Highway Signs

Billboard and other advertising
signs along the Kansas highways must
come down by the first of next year.
That order has been issued by the
Kansas state highway commission.
The commissions order grows out
of an act adopted by the Kansas legis-
lature last winter to the effect that
no signs of any kind shall be per-
mitted along the highways except Of
ficially authorized standard road
markers. Both convenience and safety
in travel as well as the appearance of
the highways were factors in the legis-
lation.
A special provision of the act was
a ban on billboards within 1000 feet
of highway intersection or railroad
grade crossing. Signs that conflict
with the rule must be pulled down
and destroyed or placed farther back
from the highways.

popular this season and leading colors
are French ivory, tans, browns, grays,

The dresses that are suited to more
formal occasions in black are created
in black velvet, black lace and black
satin. The vogue of black, in its re-
newed smartness has brought a note
/ of happiness to the fall and winter
season. for the well-dressed American
woman delights in wearing black.
Black velvet has become particular
ly heivogue in its new transparency.
1t is very perishable, but very lovely
and is especially suited to the draped
movement so much used in the newer
gowns.
Brilliant fabrics of shining beauty
are much used in combination with
black velvet and form effective
blouses, trimmings, vestees and new
uses that make black an outstanding
feature of the mode.
All black, of course, has its charms.
In simple, but distinctive lines, 1t
lends distinction to any appearance.
With the side drapings and unusual
sleeve effects, black is particularly
successful. Where the formal dinner
gown is worn without sleeves, black
again comes into its own. The charm
of rosy flesh and black velvet has
long been realized. This season it
gains in popular appeal through the
delightful methods of smart lines that
create a slender silhouette, yet pos
sess a distinct flare.
The bolero that possesses such an
air of youth is again in evidence and
is particularly well adapted to the
black velvet frock. 1t gives the OPP
portunity to combine other colors and
fabrics, too, and so lends variety to
the mode.
