TWO-FABRIC FROCK
Voile and Organdie Found Har-
monious for Blending.
USES FOR BLOTTING PAPER
Old-Fashioned Calico Is One of the
Newcomers Among the Favored
Materials.
Gray paberdlne and nary satin are
combined in tills simple little frock,
sleeves anil yoke being of navy geor-
gette. The belt, sleeve band and nar-
row border of the satin bodice are of
gaberdine braided in navy. This dress
fastens In the center back, and the
pleated skirt is drawn in harem fash-
Ion at the hem, so as to avoid a flare
which Is not fashionable this season.
If desired the dress might be made
up in two shades of linen with sleeves
nnd yoke of sheer net or fine voile,
or It may be entirely of satin either
In one or two colors, with sleeves nnd
yoke of net or georgette.
Two-fabric dresses have had an
amazing vogue this season, and a wom-
an who is economically inclined may
utilize the unworn purt of a last sea-
son frock with sufllcleut new material
to piece it out.
Heavy and light-weight linen are
combined In summer dresses; rolle nnd
organdie nre found harmonious fab-
Discarded Absorbent Will Serve Many
Purposes About the Home in
Emergencies.
Save every piece of blotting paper
that comes Into your home, even those
that have advertising upon them, for
besides being useful in the writing
desk it Is very practical for absorbing
: other things about the house besides
ink.
A piece of blotting paper pnt under
table mats wherever vases of flowers
are to be set protects the polish of the
table from dew drops from the flowers
or any dampness that seeps from por-
ous pottery.
To press out light grease spots (1
piece of clean blotting paper placed
under the fabric to absorb the grease
will cause the spots to disappear,
usually, when a hot flatiron is pressed
directly on the spot.
When the children apply for "paint
rags" for water color painting a square
of blotting paper is a fine substitute,
for It absorbs the color and water
from a wet paint brush Immediately
and is less "messy." In drying paint-
brushes the same blotter can be used
again.
In cooking greasy things, such as
croquettes, doughnuts and potato chips,
a large square of clean blotting paper
on which to drain these foods as they
come hot from the frying kettle helps
make thein more appetizing, healthful
and daintier to look upon.
When wnter Is splIltMl upon any deli-
cate table cover an Immediate applica-
tion of fresh blotting paper will pre-
serve it ill good condition. When any
liquid is spilled upon the tablecloth a
small square blotter will absorb it
quicker and more satisfactorily than
wiping up with a cloth.
CARE OF CUTICLE AND NAILS
Beautiful Hand Often Marred by Lack
cf Attention When It Is
Most Needed.
I Tour nails may be entirely shapely,
■ but what care are you giving to the
i cuticle?
A lovely hand and fine, ovnl nails
are often marred by a tough or a
I ragged cuticle.
So many persons in an endeavor to
care for their hands themselves com-
pletely spoil the shape of the nails by
, maltreatment of the cuticle.
While cutting the cuticle isn't In-
j jurious when the work is skillfully
j done, states an authority, it is best
I not to have the cuticle cut when you
can possibly avoid It. A tendency to
stimulate the growth of hard skin
around the nail is promoted by cut-
- ting the cuticle.
j However, If you've neglected to care
; for the cuticle for any length of time
l you will find that it has grown stub-
born and thick. Naturally, it will re-
quire loosening nnd cutting so that the
much desired half-moons may show.
Graceful Two-Fabric Frock.
ties for blending, and a great deal of
fine cotton net Is used both with voile
and organdie.
One of the newest comers In the field
Is old-fashioned calico, which is made
up Into charming simple little frocks,
with collar and cuffs, belt, etc., of
white linen or pique. Sometimes a
surplice waist has long ends that con-
tinue to the back of the frock, where
they are tied in a high, wide bow, and
occasionally these ends are finished all
around with an inch wide rutlle of self
fabric. Ruffles and tucks trim the
skirts. These cullco dresses, it is be-
lieved, will be strong rivals of the ging-
ham dresses, introduced last season
and revived for 1918.
DICTATES OF FASHION
Cape gloves show a new color called
mahogany.
Entire gowns are still made of
flesh-colored crepe.
The favored heels are low French i
and Cuban military.
The new currant reds are used to
brighten dull gowns.
l'ique collars, cuffs and belts appear
on silk dresses.
Crystal collars, cuffs and belts ap-
pear on silk dresses.
Boleros in various forms appear on !
little girls' dresses.
Smart tailored suits have edges j
bound with silk braid.
Smart dresses for children are
made of silk gingham.
Sashes are frequently lined with a
contrasting material.
SMOCKS IN STYLE THIS YEAR SP0RT SUIT, NORFOLK STYLE
the
still
Garment Graces Various Social Func-
tions—Crepes, Linens and
Pongees Still Used.
Smocks which had great vogue last
year for garden and simrt wear have
become more fashionable this year and
now grace all kinds of social functions.
The firmer materials of last year
crepes, linens and pongees nre
used for the ordinary smocks, but those
for dress wear are of the sheerest
georgettes and some dainty ones make
use of organdie and voile, especially
in printed patterns.
Originality Is given free play in the
designing of these garments and some
very beautiful ones have been inspired
by Japanese mandarin coats, Russian
native costumes and other oriental gar-
ments.
Printed voile or printed georgette
embroidered lu some (, eight -colored
yarns will give the desired effect. The
sleeves are loose three-quarter length
affairs with tiny balls weighting down
the corners. The !>elt with its pouch

noon party.

MR. JONES HAD RIGHT IDEA
Borne Statesmen and Many Coldiers
Fully Agree With the Gentleman
From Atlanta.
George Washington .Tones, late of
Atlanta, was making bis first trip
frontward on a supply wagon—with
not much farther to go—when, from
the side of the road, a camouflaged
American battery broke forth thunder-
ously. sending l fev> 300-pound tokens
over the line to Fritz. The ground
trembled from the salvo, hut not any
more than George as he Jumped from
h's high scat to the road.
The American artillery officer In
charge of the battery crossed over to
the road.
"Scared?" he demanded.
"Well," said George. "Ah was sllght-
y agitated at fust. Ah suttkngly was.
But keep right on. Pat's the only
way to win dls wuh—fiah dem guns."
Of Two Evils.
"Never change lawyers!"
The speaker was Senator Thomas of
Colorado.
"No matter how greedily your law-
yer may be bleeding you." he said,
"don't change him. Remember the old
horse.
"An old horse stood under a tree
patiently, though he was all covered
with horse flies. A kind-hearted man
went up to brush the flies away, but
the old horse said:
" 'Hold on, sir. Don't disturb those
files. They're nearly full. Drive them
off, and a fresh lot will come, more
hungry than the last.'"

post tells of a quarrel between Ilert-

Hertllng said to Erzberger: "You

"No."
Hertllng retorted: "Yes, you have

Erzberger—I have not been to Vi-

Are the' Packers Profiteers ?
Plain Facts About the Meat Business
The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war
profits, stated that the five large meat packers have been
profiteering and that they have a monopoly cf the market.
Those conclusions, if fair and juBt, are matters of serious
concern not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our countrv.
The figures given on profits are misleading and the state-
ment that the packers i.ave a monopoly is unsupported by
the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove
their profits reasonable and nccessary.
The meat business is one of the largest American indus-
tries. Any citizen who would familiarize himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the ajjregate profits of four large
packers were $140,0'".,000 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with $19,000,000 as the average
annual profit for the three years before the war, making it
appear that the war prjfit was $121,000,000 greater than
the pre-war profit.
This compares a three-vear profit with a one-year profit—a
manifestly unfair method of comparison. It is not only
misleading, but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made a mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three-vear profits of $1-10,000,000 was
earned on sales of over four and a half billion dollars. It
means about three cents on each dollar of sales—or a mere
fraction of a cent per pound of product.
Packers' profits are a negligible factor in prices of live
stock and meat?. No other large business it conducted
upon such small margins of profit.
Furthermore—nnd this is very important—only a small
portion of tins profit las been paid in dividends. The
balance has been put back into the businesses. It had to
be, as you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to solve—and solve quickly—during these
war years.
To conduct this business in war times, -with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two or three time* the former
prices for live stock, has required the use of two or three
times the ordinary aniuunt of working capital. The addi-
tional profit makes only a fair return on this, and as has
been stated, the larger portion of the profits earned has
been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to provide
additions and improvements made necessarv by the enor-
mous demands of our army and navy and the allies.
If you are a business man you will appreciate the signifi-
cance of these facts. If you are unacquainted with busi-
ness, talk this matter over with some business acquaint-
ance—with your banker, say—and ask him to compare
profits of the packing industry with those of any other
large industry at the present time.
No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission
in support of the statement that the large packers have a
monopoly. The Commission's own report shows the large
number and importance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
prove to any fair-minded person that they are in keen
competition with each other, and that they have no power
to manipulate prices.
If this were not true they would not dare to make this
positive statement.
Furthermore, government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
one-third of the meat business of the country.
They wish it were possible to interest you in the details of
their business. Of how, for instance, they can sell dressed
beef for less than the cost of the live animal, owing to
utilization of by-products, and of the wonderful storv of
the methods of distribution throughout this broad land, as
well as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in co-operating
with each other to the extent nf together presenting this
public statement
They have been able to do a big job for your government
in its time of need; they have met all war time demands
promptly and completely and they are willing to trust their
ease to the fairmindedness of tiie American people with
the facts before them.
