THE POLK COUNTY OB SERVES. TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1914. NEW GARMENTS FOR OUTING USE Modish Sports Coats and Sweaters That Reflect All the Gay Col ors of the Spectrum Are Now In the Shops. AS spring approaches the girl who goes lu for outdoor sports is turning her thoughts to the selection of suitable garb for the mild days when golf, tennis, polo, motoring or walking may be again en joyed. For the cool days of early spring warm garments are essential. With a modish coat and hat the girl in moderate circumstances may consid er her spring equipment complete. Supplied with these, even if the skirt is not of the latest cut or the most up to date fabric, it will hardly be no ticed. Though the Norfolk in one of its many modifications is the favorite sports coat since the demise of the mackinaw, many of the Jaunty little jackets so popular can be adapted from other styles. The fewest coats show a belt which hangs loosely at the low waist line, sometimes encircling the hips rather than the waist. One of the latest models, a bright brick red corduroy, has a girdle fully six inches wide. The yoke effect is one of the new features in sports conts. It was brought into existence by the Norfolk, but has been developed in other mod els. A clever combination shows the yoke extended to form the upper part of the sleeve. This gives the much desired rnglan shoulder effect to the top of the sleeve and the kimono lines to the under section, which Is cut in one piece with the body of the gar ment. All of the conts are distinguished by their looseness, especially through the shoulders. They appear almost to be slipping off and certainly to have been SMART SPORTS COAT. made for 8 woman several sizes larger than the wearer. When this looseness is not taken enre of by the plaits, as in the Norfolk jacket. It is gathered, apparently cnrelessly, into the wide belt, giving the effect of an exaggerat ed Russian blouse. The skirt portion is sure to flare, though in a sports coat not to any very marked degree. There is much beauty in both the woolen and the silk sweaters, particu larly In the Angora wool sweaters, which have quite taken the place of the old time knitted sweater. There Is not a tone in the rainbow that is not reflected from these sweaters, the soft and delicate old rose. Persian blue, silver green and golden brown tints vying with the more blatant brick red. Titian blue, tango yellow and Russian green. The Angora wool seems to take the subtle, "faded" colorings of the east particularly well, and the manu facturers have shown unusual skill In color combinations. Though the strip ed and changeable effects have been produced in the Angora wool sweat ers, the results are not so successful as In the silk sweaters. Dark green suede cloth was used for this single breasted coat, with its turn ed over collar. little belt vest and wide belt of velvet The vest is fastened with a row of large ball buttons.

General Aguilar la Anxious to March .From Tuxpan Upon the Capital City. General Candida Aguilar, the rebel conqueror of Tuxpan, is casting long ing eyes upon Mexico City and Is am bitious to win the race to the capital over Villa, Zapata and Obregon. The towns of Tantlma and Tantoyu ca. In the state of Vera Cruz, have been captured by General Aguilar. He has occupied a large portion of the country, has established civil and mili tary authorities In office and offered full guarantees to commerce and in dustries. All railroad and telegraph lines as far south as the northern part of Hidalgo have been opened to traffic, and General Aguilar was given orders to push the campaign against the fed era is to the south. Agullar's plan of campaign Is to make an advance westward through the oil region lnta the state of Hidalgo, where X GENERAL CANDIDO AGUILAR. be will be aided by the Mnderista ex governor, Itosales.' commanding 1,400 Hidalgo rebels; then on through the rich mining district of I'achuca. where the federal garrison of 2,000 Is being re-enforced by recent levies from the Serrano Indians, numbering 1,400. These Indians are undisciplined and poorly equipped and will be more than offset by the miners who will join the Aguilar forces. After passing the swampy oil region west of Tuxpan. Agullar's advance will be comparatively easy If the fed erals continue their retreat The whole distance could be covered in a week, but Aguilar may be tempted to deflect his advance and attack Pueblo's weak ened garrison, a capture far more Im portant than anything else in that re gion. Puebla is but a little over 100 miles to the south from Tuxpan and is but sixty miles from Mexico City. RESTORING KEY'S FLAG, Tha Original Star Spangled Banner Is to. Have a New Birth.
