WASHINGTON F dshions
By WILMA LAvILLE

News has been sitting through
from Paris to New York, from
New York to Washington, of
the woolen frocks that will be
worn this fall. Sheerer, softer,
smarter and worn for every time
of day.
Gay or Conservative
The type that will have the
greatest vogue is the sheer wool
crepe dress that is businesslike,
and that is perfectly at home
for office, shopping or school.
Many good representatives of
this type are already shown in
Washington stores. They are
conservative, in black or brown.
with no trimming but a few
metal buttons or clips, or they
are gay with color, perhaps
made of a dark color, but trim
med in the vivid French colonial
hues that are so rich and warm.
They are smart in their fabric
and coloring, and distinguished
in their cut, but are neverthe-
less priced with moderation, so
that there is one for each bud
get.

Half a dozen reports were made

Beautiful Simplicity

The frock sketched is one Of
the conservatives, made Of black
wool crepe with a tiny check in
the weave. Of course, it will be
equally smart in q color. It's
only decoration is the row of
shiny metal buttons down the
front, matched by buttons on
the sleeves. The belt has an
odd metal buckle, a hook and
ring arrangement. Important
fashion points to remember are
the round neckline fitted by
tucks, the two-piece theme, and
the long straight skirt with full
ness very low.

Army.
Every officer In the military estab-
lishment will be interested in q new
! plan for promotion Of officers Of the
Army that has been prepared in the
War Department. The plan does not
contemplate any change in the promo
ton list and officers promoted to a
higher rank will maintain the same
precedence they held in the lower rank.
The number OF general officers will re-
main, as at present and there will be
no change in the non-promotion list
officers, consisting of officers Of the
Medical Department, chaplains and
veterinary of1cers. 1t Is understood,
however, that there will be q change In
the promotion OF oflcers Of the Chap
lain and Veterinary Corps by providing
that they be promoted after the same
length OF service as officers Of the
Medical Corps and that chaplains be
permitted to attain the rank Of colonel
Forced attrition, prominent in previous
~ proposed measures, is entirely elimi-
mated under the new plan.
The basic principles of the proposed
pro: .otion bill were conceived In the
Philippine Islands by Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, the present chief of staff,
who at that time commanded the
Philippine Department, and his inspec-
tor general, Col. Charles H. Patterson.
OPOA 0oouhIlAklB MS Qu61eS as C0le1 OF
stan at the War Department Gen. Mac
Arthur brought Col. Patterson with him
to washington to work out the details
OF the suggested legislation, which has
been finally perfected by the latter in
conjunction with the general star and
the various bureaus Of the War Depart
ment. In its present form it Is believed
the bill has practically the unanimous
support Of the general staff and all
branches of the War Department and
1t Is understood that it will be later
submitted for the consideration of the
Secretary of War.
It Is understood that If the new plan
had been in effect last July there would
be 226 additional officers in the grade
OF colonel and the ranks of lieutenant
colonel and major would have been ma.
tertally increased. The number of cap
tainS and frst heutenantS will not be
limited in the new scheme by reason Of
the fact that provision win be made to
