 CT, etc, Explained

WASHINGTON, D C.. May IA Comprehensive War Department plans for quickly mobilizing Ameri- can industry and raising an army Of 100000 at the outbreak of pos sible future hostilities were outlin- ed for a War Policies Commission yesterday by Chief of Staff Mac Arthur.

 Chief of Staff Macarthur recom- mended an education campaign to the suffering and waste of war and made it plain that in future con- flicts mo one would be able to escape their share in ensuing loss"

moved that "a strong letter be written by the Chambers secre- tary to Secretary Wilbur advising him that the labor market in Alas ka is unable to meet the demands of residents seeking work; that none wanting employment should be encouraged to come from the States and that Interior Secretary Wilbur should make these facts known to offset his previous recom- mendations.
 Harry Sperling of the United States Forest Service, said that he construed Secretary Wilbur's ad- vice to be directed to persons seek ing farm lands and that there was no occasion for action on the par. of the Chamber
 Immigration Favored
 Attorney H. B. LeFevre declared young men should be urged to come to Alaska. He explained that immi- grafton was essential to the growth and development of the Territory.
 Charles E. Naghel of the United States Public Survey Office was of the opinion that persons seeking employment should be warned against coming North. He said the many requests for work made to the Survey Office reflected the unsatisfactory co n d ition n of the present labor market
 MT Shattuck, in speaking to the suggestion that Secretary Wilbur's ]. advice was dire d to persons wanting farm lands, insisted that even the agriculturally inclin q class should not be encouraged to come to Alaska now. Such set tiers cannot make a living raising agricultural products" he asserted, and in consequence will have to search for employment, something they cannot find.
 The motion for the strong let ter" to Secretary Wilbur was unan- imously passed

Washington F dshions
By WILMA LAVILLE

After all Empress Eugene
was only S, feet 4 inches" to
quote a clever advertisement.
With this in mind some of the
taller women have been wonder
ing what they will do for fash
ions suitable to them. They
really needn't worry for there
were plenty of tall women in
Eugenie's time and most of the
fashions that she wore can be
adapted to the taller figure.
Zigzag Lines
One of the most beautiful sill
houettes we have found this fall
is sketched today and as you
can see, is especially good for a
taller woman. The lines are
diagonal in a typical Vionnet
manner. The cutting of the
skirts fits it perfectly through
the hipline and the waist. There
is very little blouse, which is an
ether new feature of the mode
and the neckline is perfectly
plain. The sleeves are also typi-
cal. Of Vionnet, open at the
wrist with little bands that
made eight cuffs.
In Two CoIors
This dress is of one of the
new very sheer wool crepes
called "chellita. The skirt is
brown and the bodice is beige,
carrying out the twocolor theme
that is so important. Little
brown aStrakhan bows are used
at the waiStline and on the
blouse. This dress, as you may
have guessed, is a Vionnet copy
and it is available in a wash
ington store.
