Offers Solution
For One Problem

For many women, the most try
ing coat length of recent inspira-
ton is the rather popular justice
low-the-waist length that nips in at
the midriff and hugs the hips.
1t is good style for a slender
woman with a streamlined figure
and Is being shown in any number
Of varieties. OF which one of the
most popular is monotone wool
jacket worn over a gay print dress.
But the problem is not so simple
for those who border on plumpness.
One suggestion is that the slightly
swallow-tah version deals more
kindly with the heavy woman.

Science Views Low Cost
OF Future II. s. Dwellings

SoclologlStS can trace many Of the
problems of modern civilization to
the breakup of the family struc-
ture which in part has come about
because the "old family homestead"
no longer has much of its original
meaning.
In prefabricated housing there 10
more than little hope that family
dwellings can be produced cheap
enough SO that every family can
own one and thus retain its true
family character through the forma-
tive years in the lives of the chill
dren.
Harvey Wiley Corbett. New York
architect, has described before a
meeting of the American Institute
some Of the benefits which mass
production, prefabrication methods.
can bring in lowering housing cost.
THE cost of assembling a car is
only ! per cent of its price, but the
assembling cost Of house is all Of
so per cent, said Mr.. Cerbett. ''In
order to reduce the cost, this item
of assembly will have to be elimi-
mated. This means the end of brick.
plaster, lumber, shingles, nails and
all sorts of attachments. The mass
production house will not be pos
sible until its units can be manu-
featured complete in a factory
complete including all wiring and
switches, all plumbing and all serv-
ice items, such as stoves, sinks.
Lighting. curtains and door bells.
1.-The cellar viii have to 60, and
the foundation, too, for there is no
reason why house should not rest
on the ground instead of in it. Such
houses need not be uniform, bat
they must be made of interchange
able PARTS to be assembled at the
choice of the owner. The first such
house will probably cost UP toward
a million dollars. including the ma
chinery for its manufacture, but
after that houses should be avail
able for 80 per cent, or at most 40
per cent, of their present cost. Only
In this way will we attain the elm
nation of our Sums"

a gay campus career. Its cunning
tunic bustleback and its full cArcu-
lar-cut skirt gives it swank and dis
tinction such as collegiate fashion
ables demand. Its red suede belt
supplies fetching dash of color.
Approval for the new bustle-back
dresses is assured for being inter-
preted in simple words, bustle-back
is merely a way of saying "back
fullness' achieved in ingenious
ways that are conservative and
wearable without being overdone.
The suit to the right is very style
revealing, stressing as it does the
continued triumph in the mode of
richly colorful striped woolens. The
stripes, the plaids and the mar
velous artistry with which designers
combine them with monotones in re-
lated tone simply hold one spell
bound. The gorgeous striped wool
that fashions the costume suit keys
to the smartest fall colors, harmo-
nizing vibrant green's with luscious
blackberry tones. The skirt is all
around pleated. The boxy jacket
tops an emerald green velvet blouse
closing with novel key-and-keyhole
ornaments. An oversize quill tops
the moss green sailor hat.
You may expect to see gay little
velvet jackets dotted all over the
college campus. The girl centered
in the picture wears a snug black
velveteen jacket quite military look
ing as so many of the newer fash
ions are, with plaid pleated skirt
that introduces an artful blend of
grape, pink and yellow tones, eli

sophisticates, simply dote on the
new plaids and stripes. A Scotch

plaid carries the. message that fash.
ions for young folks have gone very
Scotch this season.

Steamboats, Now Cruise
To Former Union Prison

JohnSon'S island rises with jagged
cliffs from the deep, blue waters of
Sandusky bay, writes Halves Harri-
son in the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch. Now there is steamer serv-
ice. Rented boats from the San
dusky, Ohio, shores of, Lake Erie
are able to make their way to the
island in only a short while, but in
the gloomy winters of 1861 to 1865,
it remained a journey. Here was
the site of a Union prison for Con-
federate soldiers during the Civil
war, and owing to its supposed Sc
curity the prisoners were largely
made up of Southern officers. Years
later the island was developed as a
stone quarry, but work soon was
discontinued.
Those soldiers who died while in
prison were buried on the island
and the ground has recently been
taken over by the federal govern
ment as a national shrine. The Con-
federate cemetery-for years before
cared for by the Johnson's Island
chapter, United Daughters of the
Confederacy-is today visited annu-
ally by thousands.
After the war Johnson, owner of
the island, built wire fence around
the cemetery at his own expense. In
1881 McMeen's post, G. A. r., of
SanduSky, took over the care of the
graves and from that time until
1907 services were held on each
Memorial day, similar to those for
the Union dead When the veter-
ans of Sandusky felt they were no
longer able to make the trip across
the bay, the Daughters of the Con-
federacy purchased the spot. Mean
time, officials of the state of Geor-
gia became interested and replaced
the wooden markers on the graves
with marble headstones.
A handsome monument was I'M
yelled with addresses in 1910 The
base of the monument was contribut-
ed by the Masons of Mississippi.
The foundation is of South Carolina
marble. A statue of a Southern SOL
der clutches a musket. The noted
sculptor, Moses Ezekiel, who was a
soldier under Gen. Robert E. Lee,
designed and executed the work in
bronze.

ITS no secret as to who has been
= chosen to play the part of lead
ing lady on the stage of fashion
during the early fall days-College
Girl is her name To this impor-
tant parsonage all fashiondom is
paying homage at the present mo-
Enent. On every side you are re-
minded that the idea is motivat-
ing to cater to the whims and ward
robe needs of the girl who is going
away to school
The style program arranged for
Miss College Girl and her younger
schoolgirl sister fairly teens with
excitement. For instance, there is
the new hustle dress. The idea has
taken the collegiate set by storm.
The quaint hustle dresses that
grandmothers galvanized in as girls
m the '80s are actually proving
inspiration for frocks that the mod
ern girl will wear this fall.
The highpoints of these oldtime
silhouettes are being revived such
as waiStlines of vanishing inches,
slim corSeted midriffS and wide
hack-swirling skirts interpreted in
novel hustle treatments but modi-
fed so cleverly they are made thor
oughly practical and wearable for
this day and age. Then there is the
new vogue that calls for velvet or
velveteen jacket worn with gay
plaided wool skirt or contrasting or
matched solid color as fancy die
tates. The decided military air that
the new fashions take on is also a
dig factor in the new mode and
most outstanding of all is the inn
portance attached to fine materials.
These and other significant style
trends were revealed at their CLAM
orous best in an advance fall fash
ion revue staged by the Style Crea-
tors of Chicago. The three models
pictured were especially applauded
by. the audience of visiting mer-
chants as fashions that are repre-
sentative of what the up-to-date
fashion-slert girl will be selecting
for her going-away-to-school ward
robe.
The clever little date frock of
shepherd check velveteen shown to
the left in the group is sure to enjoy
