Milady to Wear
Cotton This Year
Fashloa Decrees That Cheaper Fabric
Be Tsed for trader Garments the
Coming Season.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 17. Cotton for
washable petticoats and wider skirts
will be the vogue for well dressed
women the coming season, according
to suggestions in a bulletin of "Styles
for 1915" Issued by the Fashion Art
league off America. t
The bulletin says in part:
"Encouragement is given to wearing
cotton petticoats as a means of vastly
increasing the cotton consumption ow
ing to the European war. The Fashion
Art league of America has secured
pledges from thousands of dressmak
ers, club women and social leaders to
follow the suggestions of the league.
"The washable petticoat, which has
been out of fashion for a decade, is
again to be the vogue and the. wider
skirts will succeed the present close
fitting skirt for well dressed women,
and both will prove acceptable for
comfort and- warmth besides aiding in
the use of cotton fabrics manufactured
in America.
"How wide shall the skirt be? Good
taste dictates that the size and height
of the wearer should determine that
question.
"A circular skirt is more beautiful
when it fails full and free and has :in
air of smartness when worn by the
right type, but beware of the pitfaHs
of blindly accepting a circular cut in
your new suit skirt.
"In chiffons and nets you can choose
with greater freedom. The extra widtij
In hem that fashion now demands lies
somewhere between two and four yards
and can be obtained by judicious use
of pleats, circular godet effects let in
at the sides of it can be cut slightly
circular, shirred into belt line or per
haps gored circular would be better.
"To be in vogue this winter, there
must be a smooth flat hip look with
a decided flare at the hem and if fig

centuated at sides and flattened at
I-front and back."

been visiting his brother, W. T. Youns,
of Freewater, for the past month for

Lawn Mower Cuts Child.
Freewater, Or., Oct. 19. The two-
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank.

with the lawn mower, had two fing
ers of the right hand nearly severed.
By Lillian E. Young.
Unless you are blessed with unusu
ally neat and quiet children you will
find It quite Impossible to make one
coat answer the purpose of every day
and" Sunday, .for with romping play
and the wear and tear of school days
even the sturdiest of serviceable top
coats is soon reduced to a rather too
frayed and spotty .condition for a Sun
day edition as well.
Most mothers solve the problem by
getting a really good coat for good
wear and a less expensive one of more
durable qualities for general wear.
This of the illustration comes under
the heading of the former and is in
deed very smart for a small girl. The
material used is dark brown cordurox
with tan moufflon fur at the neck and
wrists. Long sleeves are cut in one
with the body, or, if the width of the
material will not allow of that, they
can.be set in under extended shoul
ders. The double-breasted fronts show
edges curved away at the neck. Two
pleated bands of corduroy make the
skirt portion, attached at a slightly
lengthened waistline to the gathered
in body above.

When a man runs a business he
figures his expenses. He knows he
must pay higher salaries and com
missions for better service if he is
to make more money.
But whin he goes into the business
of matrimony he is either recklessly
extravagant and falls to apply any
business principles at all, or he fig
ures all expenses down to the mini
mum without reckoning on any sort
of recompense for the individual who
is general manager, chief clerk, buy
er, auditor, office boy and sometimes
janitor, besides her ordinary duties
as wife, mother and housekeeper.
Many a married man who pays his
employes well, because he believes it
good policy, and who tips the elevator
boy and the porter because he wants
better service, doesn't stop to reason
out that it might be good policy to
be as square with his wife, and that
even a wife will smile more brightly
and be more Willing to perform little
extra services for a man who hands
out a "tip" to her once in a while.
There are men who make it a point
to study magazine and newspaper
articles on "how to cut the cost of
living." I honestly believe as many
men as women read these theoretical
schemes for saving. These same men,
without knowledge or experience in
household management or buying
tome supplies, proceed to lecture their
wives on wastefulness and demand
a substantial cut in expenses.
Now the average housewife is pret
ty well acquainted with the peculiar
conditions of her own family. She
knows what she can and can't do in
her own home and neighborhood. She
is usually an extremely keen and
careful buyer and can extract a great
deal more out of $5 than the average
man can out of $10. As a savings
Institution she "can't be beat." She's
on the Job night and day.
But being a good buyer doesn't
bring her any commissions. Working
overtime doesn t give her any time
and a half pay. Her salary isn't
raised because her services are in
dispensable. Does the "boas'' reward
her with a bonus at the end of the
year Not so's you could notice it.
What right has a man to figure
his household expenses down to the
minimum and leave out a commission
for the one person upon whom de
pends the success of the whole thing
and usually ' must perform all the
labor connected with it? Some hus
bands are so watchful that their wives
can't even squeeze out "perquisites,
such as small change to be found in
trousers' pockets when m'lord sleeps.
There's too much talk about wom
en's wastefulness and extravagance
too much advice aimed at them. It's
all utilised by selfish and stingy hus
bands to their own advantage.
How many wives, do you suppose
would spend half the contents of the
weekly pay envelope playing pool and
"tanking up" every Saturday night?
Many a man spends a . dollar a day
for cigars who would think it suffi
clent ground for divorce if his wife
paid out 10 cents a day for Ice cream
sodas.
English Prodnctloa at the Heilig".
Over three hours of joyous melo
drama, with villainy thwarted and
true love victorious, is "The Whip,"
the monster English production that
opened a six nights engagement .at
the Heilig last evening. There are so
many disguised melodramas mas
querading under other names that it
takes the Simon pure article like "The
Whip" to make an audience realize
that there is nothing like a good melo
drama, with its apparent emotions, for
vigorous enjoyment.
"The Whip" is a story of English
sporting life and as such presents a
picture that Is novel to most Ameri
cans. It admits of all sorts of spec
tacle and is kaleidoscopic in its va
riety and color. In all there are 14
scenes, and a word of praise is aire
the stage crew for the lack of waits
and the rapidity with which scenes
were shifted. Five or six horses
and a whole pack of English hunting
dogs comprise the livestock, to say
nothing of automoDiies ana exact re
productions of continental trains. The
motor is ditched and the train wrecked
in the course of the play, and the
wrecks are very genuine an airs.
One of the funniest scenes tanes
place at Madame russauas wax
works The stables at the horse show
and the first act, with Its dogs, horses

CLOTHES AGAIN
By Jessie Roberts.

Gathered round the Shop-Talk Club
table. And so we were, for half of
us had had our vacation, while the
rest were looking forward to theirs;
and those who had been were brown
and those who hadn't were white.
"Yes ,and any one can tell with half !

and which are to be," Rose replied.
"There is nothing like appearance; if
the biggest giveaway there is. That's I
why clothes are so Important."
"You bet." said Sally. "-Vd that
brings me to my point. It's this: We
women in business can't be too care
ful how we dress. This morning a
girl came to the office from Blank's
with an order. The boss interviewed
her, and after she left he turned to
me.
"Wasn't she awful?" he asked. Tou
know, a girl who looks like that re
flects on the business. I would rather
cut out Blank's than have that sort of
a looker coming into our offices.' "
"What ailed her?" Rose wanted to
know. 1
"Oh, you know. Blondined and pow
dered, low-necked, diaphanous white
dress that cleared the floor by about I
18 inches, three or four necklaces, a
pink band around her head, short
sleeves and tottering on high heels,
circus queen type."
"I don't know why they do it," Bess
put in. "I've never seen a man yet
who didn't hate it, and as your boss
said, a girl like that won't get a de
cent job or be admitted into a first-
rate business house. Business clothes
ought to be appropriate cool, neat,
becoming, modish, certainly, but con-
servatrve." 1

Oregon Is Advised to Keep
Her Normal Schools.
Besident From Minnesota, Where
Same Fight Was Waged, Bays
Action There Should Be Xresson
Eere.
(D.
Klehle in Sunday Oregonian.)
PORTLAND, Oct 9- To the Editor
Coming from Minnesota, a sister
state of the same age as Oregon, it
was a surprise to find that you are
just settling the problem that was
forced upon us just 40 years ago. At
that time we had two normal schools
in the southern and well settled tier
of counties, and one at St. Cloud, far
north. Populists were then in po
litical control. Ambitious leaders,
who had a record for economy to make
in the legislature of 1876, introduced
a bill to discontinue the school at St.
Cloud and devote the building to an
inebriate or insane asylum. It was
finally agreed to allow the three
schools to continue upon the standing
annual appropriation of $5000 each.
This left them, not dead, but impov
erished and dying.
This condition aroused the friends
of the common schools to a determined
insistence that it be settled once for
all whether the state should have any
normal schools. If not, let them all
be abandoned; if they are necessary
to the preparation of teachers for the
common schools of the plain people,
then let them be provided as and where
they are needed, for the new and strug
gling pioneer districts as well as for
the wealthy and populous.
When the situation was fairly and
positively put opposition ceased. From
that time to this our normal schools
have become a positive and influen
tial factor in public education. In the
five normal schools, well distributed
over the state, we have an enrollment
of more than 4000 student-teachers
and in these 40 years their annual
support has increased from $15,000 to
more than $450,000.
To a late resident of your state It
seems as if the time had come when
the intelligence and the industrial
record of Oregon should be adequately
expressed in a generous support of
her common schools by providing
skilled teachers for her new territory
as well as for the older and fertile
districts of the valley of the Willam
ette. D. L. KIEHLE.
