Satin Goes on Parade
In Fashion Picture
Elegant Fabric Being Used
In Many Clever Ways.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Satin is making front page head
lines in the fashion news of the day.
The use of satin in the fall mode
is simply tremendous. 1t would
seem as if designers had never been
so satin-conscious as they are today.
Dresses entirely of satin vie with
those that 60 $3.50 satin with crepe.
A favorite choice with best-dressed
women for wear during the early
autumn days is handsome satin
dress styled with utmost sophistiea-
ton, with which they wear a luxuri-
ant fur stole. Even the hat is apt to
be OF matching satin, for milliners
are turning out stunning headwear
made of it. The draped satin fur
bans are most imposing as they soar
to skyscraper heights. Then too,
tall-crowned types with wee brirns
are animated with jeweled embroi-
derry and they take on truly regal
air.
This year the restaurant suit of
satin ranks high in style prestige.
While there are many versions of
the restaurant suit, the type liked
most is characterized by its SIM
plicity and by it's definitely new
look because of its soft shoulders,
wide wing sleeves and modish
cardigan neckline. These call for
beguiling blouses which are more or
less glitter-embroidered. In the day
time, the suit can be tuned to infor-
NAL environment via a simple white
blouse with a self-fabric bow tie.
There is refined elegance in an ex-
quisitely fine lace trimmed lingerie
worn with the satin suit.
The dress that is part crepe and
part satin is regarded as one of the
big success fashions of the season
There is no end to the novel uses of
the satin. Sometimes a mere touch
OF satin transforms a basic black
dress into stunning gown. Such is
the simple black crepe gown that
has bows bursting out of the most
unexpected places, a huge one on the
skirt just above the hemline, with a
satin sash that ties in a pert hustle
bow, and at each wristline a
sprightly bow futtering out most at
tractively.

meat supplies will be more plentiful
and egg production may be higher,
depending on the number Of chick
ems sold for meat.
AS civilian, military and export de-
mands for eggs decline, a lower level
of production will be necessary (see
chart). Egg producers in the corn
belt states will be particularly at
fected because a relatively larger
part of their output has been dried
and the production has increased
relatively more.

Egg prices are expected to remain
strong during the rest of 1915 and
may even advance in coming weeks
because of the usual seasonal de-
cline in production and upward re-
visions of price ceilings. In the first
half of 1916, however, the price is
expected to be somewhat lower than
for the same period in 1945. The
overall meat shortage and 6 per
cent decline in egg production were
major factors supporting egg prices

what happened in the case of owl.
Its thousands of American en-
ployees in foreign lands have been
switched from the owl nipple to that
of the state department. 1t is but a
repetition of the same methods
that have marked the creation Of
that enormous institution we call

INDIANA COUNTRY EDITOR
BUILT CHEMURGIC TRADE

THE LAST TIME / VISITED with
Wheeler McMillen, something over
a year ago, he was wearing, as he
expressed it, skim milk clothes.
That included his hat and an attrac-
tive tie.
His garb of that day represented,
at least partially, the realization Of
his ambition. AS boy, on Ohio and
Indiana farms, he worried about the
waste of farm products. On his own
Indiana fai n he saw much the farm
produced u2utilized. The corn stalks,
the grain straw, the skim milk and
other thing brought no financial re-
turn. AS tie editor of an Indiana
country newspaper, he continued to
think and write about those farm
wastes. Later, as the editor of a
farm publication of national circu-
lation, he solicited aid in finding a
solution for the farm waste problem,
and along with that, use in indus
try of farm products that would in

Indication that cancellation of the

VETERANS Of 37TH
DIVISION QUALIFY
FOR HOMECOMING
Many Bluffton Men Three Years
in South Pacific Have
Required Points
Three Campaigns, Medals and
Service Stars Provide Ad-
ditional Credits

Hope that the army's partial de-
mobilization plan announced last week
may soon bring home the many Bluff
ton men who have been overseas near
" SO months with the famous 37th Di-
vision is high this week in the hearts
of their families.
The point plan Of rehabilitation
announced by the war department is
hailed by those with close relatives in
the 37th, tho there isthe stipultion at
tached that even if man has suffi-
cient points for discharge he can
be kept in the service, if his work is
deemed vital in the war against the
Japanese.
Three Years in South Pacific
However, those men of the 37th
who have been hidden IN the islands
of the South Pacific for three years
now have a strong ray Of hope that
at long last they niay get to come
home.
Looking at the point system as it
affects BlufTton men in the 37th, it is
found that practically all of them
still serving with the unit have suf-
ficient number of points to come home.
Those draftees who went to Camp
Shelby in the January thru March
winter months Of 1941 have at least
SIS and up to So points to their credit.
This total is sufficient to warrant
discharge. but in addition those mem
bers of the 37th still overseas have
two campaigns to their credit-the
New Georgia Bouganville fighting of
1943-44, and the Luzon campaign in
which they still are participating.
Many Have. Points
This gives each member of the di-
vision 10 more points. Hundreds
have Purple Hearts, good for five
points, and some has Bronze and Sill.
yer Service Stars and Distinguished
Service Crosses, each of which also
means five additional points.
Others have children, some of whom
have never been seen by their fathers,
and each child, up to three children,
provides an additional II points.
One of the real veterans divisions,
the famous 37th is one of the finest
serving in the Pacific. 1t never has
had a cessation in training and fight
ing since the earliest days of the war,
In Northern Luzon
After its campaign to liberate Man
liza, the 37th had only three weeks
rest before it was in action again in
| northern Luzon.
And except for invoking the clause
of necessary in the prosecution of
the war against the japanese, the
men who originally went overseas with
the division have good chance OF
being discharged.
