THRIFT NEED NOT IMPOSE UGLY MODES IN THE WOMEN'S DRESS. Women's dress is becoming more and more discussed in connection with thrift and economy.' The growing popularity of uniforms and the question of t lie practicability of standardized dress for women in business bring forward the ques tion whether clothing in wartime should be cheerful or austere. “Woman’s dress may be the ex pression of an instinct for display and variety, man in Ills uttire is the slave of a standardized past," said Dr. Jessica Peixotto, executive chair man of the Department of Child Welfare of the Woman's Committee, Council of National Defense. “Cer tainly women's dress should be cheerful. I see no reason why thrift should sound the doom of the dec orative. It has been said that in 1 the midst of the most severe tor I ments woman should keep her smile land that her garments and her or naments are part of her smile. ‘It is necessary to laugh in order not to cry,' and clothing can greatly ait’ in giving the feeling cf cheer. I‘ need not, however, express flippan cy. ■'Butterfly clothing is very dif ferent from fresh, simple, useful dress such as sports clothing rep-, resents. Austere garments do not necessarily clothe courage; witness the gay military uniforms of the past. It is perfectly possible to -be thrifty and cheerful, to wear cloth ing of simple lines and inexpensive material, so as to liberate labor now engaged in ereatinlg empty superfluities, and tbua to add to the general eflifficiency o fthe woman power of the country.” Big Surprise to Many in Juneau ^ People are surprised at the IN STANT action of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., aa mixed In Ad ler-i-ka.

MUCH INTEREST IS CREATED OVER SMALL LOAN MADE LONDON, Nov. 7. — Nows that Xmerica has granted a loan of $5, ■00,000 to Liberia has created great interest in commercial and financial circles connected with British West Africa.

There is every reason to believe* be says, that, develop ments will reveal great natural re sources. LONDON THEATRES NOT DOING SO BIG BUSINESS NOW I/1NDON. Sept. 17.—This month has been notable in Tendon thea tres for the reason that so few new Productions have been given. The cause is attributed to the phenom enal business all of the show houses lid right through .the dog days. Apart from the variety houses, Lon don has thirty-three regular West Knd theatres. All except three are showing comedies of one kind or another. Apparently soldiers on 'cave, the chief patrons of London’s theatres these days, do not care for serious plays. MUST SAVE 50% MORE POOD THAN LAST YEAR While meatless and wheatiess days, meals auu drive* and campaigns to save special food stuffs have been eliminated, we must be more econom ical than ever (luring the coming year all along the line, and to the limit reduce directly our consumption of •ill foodstuffs and waste of all food We must save fifty per cent more food from substantially the same amount available in this country last vear. America cannot for a moment forget that if she Is to share the victory she must share her food. An army of four million soldiers must be fed from this year’s crop. The Am erican people carried the 1918 ob (active*—wheat, meat, ,fat and sugar 1 - and now we are settling down to a steady push along the line. Save every ounce of essential foodstuffs.

We must export 18,000,000 1 ons of foodstuffs during the com ing year as against 11,000,000 last j year.
