National Association of Clothing Be-

for Xext Year Xo Kilts
Among Those Shown.
CHICAGO. July 7. (Special.) He
walked carefully from one end of the
gold room to the other, then lie turned
around and walked back again. Hav
ing done this he raised his arms over
his head and bowed. Whereupon he
broke into a short, snappy trot and
circled the chamber, ending with a
few revolutions of the body, and disappeared.
He was a model. On his shannlv
figure was draDed a. e.ntlpmnn'H
clothes; around the walls of the room
were stationed the members of the
National Association of Clothinar De
signers. They are having a convention
at the Congress Hotel.
Today the convention featured fi-e
genuine. expert gentleman models.
Each was a master of the craft; each,
as he walked with the latest style
encasing his Adonis limbs, his' Apol-
iinaris torso, was the envy of the spec
tators, gentlemen all. who sat or
slouched about the chamber. It was
the duty of each model to emerge 10
times from the dressing-room, thus
gladdening the eye with 10 different
tyles. Fifty styles In all were ex
hibited. There were no kilts. The
styles chiefly ran to conservative cuts.
Cr. M. Gray, chairman of the display
committee, explained that the styles
rex-ealed were those which would be
fashionable in 1918. Thus the pro
ceedings were a lifting of the veil of
the future.
Mr. Gray pointed out further that
he absence of cuffs on trousers end
leeves. the absence of doo-funnies.
doo-hickies and doo-dads on coat and
rousers in no way impaired the beauty
of the male figure. These - things, the
esigners sought to reveal, all neces-
ity being their Inspiration, are artifi-
lal. anyway. Pleats, tucks, ruffles.
patch pockets, belts, folds, and even
apela were absent from most of the
91S styles.

WASHINGTON. July 7. President
Wilson has thrown the 'weight of his

attached to the food bill which It is
said practically would disrupt the grreat

Defense. The provision ln question
would forbid any person connected with
the Government from selling to it any
thing in which he has an interest.
Inasmuch as the greatest business in
terests of the country are represented
on the advisory committees of the coun
cil, the enactment of the provision, the
President thinks, would disrupt all the
machinery set up for an efficient, eco
nomical conduct of the war by marshal
ing the country's best grains and re
sources. President Wilson has written a letter
to Senator McKellar. author of the
amendment, saying such 'legislation
would be a calamity. He pointed out
that business men on the committees
have not the power to demand the price
they shall receive for commodities sold
the Government, whether or not they
are Interested ln them. Ail sorts of
safeguards, ths President stated, have
been taken to prevent advantage being
taken of the Government.
