PRESSING TURKS
AT DARDANELLES
Allies Report They Have Given Moslem
Foes a Haro Struggle On ,
Peninsula.
Turkish Loscss Are Said To Be
Heavy—Captured 2,000 Ottoman
Prisoners
London.—The allies, in their offen
sive on the Gallipoli' peninsula, cap
tured and held two lines of Turkish
trenches along,a front of nearly three
miles. In Mesopotamia the British
forces have received from the Turks
the surrender of Amara and taken
more than two thousand prisoners,
thirteen guns, a gunboat, barges and
steamers. The pursuit of the Turks
ho were dispersed into the marshes
continues.
As In all trench warfare, the allies
found their general advance on the
Gallipoli peninsula hindered through
the inability of part of their force to
penetrate wire entanglements which
artillery fire had not sufficiently de
stroyed. ThiB left other sections of
the force open to an enfilading fire,
and, therefore, part of the ground
gained had to be given up. Some also
was lost when the Turks counter-at
tacked.
A gain of 600 yards on a front of
three miles in this sort of fighting,
however, is considered satisfactory
by the British, particularly ps it in
duced the Turks to counter-attack, in
which they suffered heavy losses.
Washington

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo

the United States will have'- to take
steps to settle the 'dispute in that
republic.
President Wilson is expected to no
tify both General Carranza and Villa
that the warring factions in, Mexico
must come to some conclusion which
will make it possible for the United
States to recognize a government in

ple is no longer the object of the fight
ing, but it has degenerated into mere

MAY BE DEVELOPED IN MANY
KINDS OF MATERIALS.
Taffeta, Serge, or Linen All Equally
Suitable—Narrow Cotton Soutache
Braid Perhaps Best That Can
Be Employed.
Taffeta, serge or linen—any of these
are suitable for the development of
the attractive street costume of the
cut.
There is a pocketlike blouBe worn
oyer a soft, high-collared guimpc of
white net that shows between the
open-front edges.
The blouse 1b just caught together
at the top, and the fronts are cut off
short in square tabs that hang free of
the belt. These are embroidered in
some Bimple outline work, or braided.
The sides and back of the blouse are
tucked under the belt and an embroid
ered peplum added below. There
are long sleeves cut with the raglan
shoulder line and finished with odd
and attractive circular cuffs buttoned
on at the sides. The neck has a deep
turned-back collar rounded across the

For an underskirt it will be best to
use a very thin silk down the front

Serge or
Liking for the Early Victorian Styles
la Just Now Extremely
Pronounced.
the top and bottom that show between
the open edges of the tunic are gar
nished with a touch of the embroidery
or braiding used on the waist.
The tunic is full length, except just
in front, where the material is cut
away diagonally. At the top a four-
inch space Is left between the edges,
and by crossing them farther down
the triangular space results. Pocket
slashes are cut just in front of either
hip.
{Should you use linen for this design
the braiding can be done with a nar
row soutache braid. It comes in fast
colors and washes very well.
Eliminate the long trailing skirt and
the hobble from our midst and there
is practically no mode that can be de
scribed as demode. The subject of the
crinoline has several times come un
der discussion.
The conditions of life are completely
altered since its triumph.
Motors and railways and other
means of transit will ever militate
against its resuscitation. The pic
turesque style of dress is meeting with
approval, but that does not mean the
crinoline. The conceits which are
most in vogue are the offspring of the
days of the early Victorian era. Wom
en were eBsentiallly feminine then, and
today they are harking back to this
place in their mode of living as well as
in their fashions. Raiment for out-of-
door wear is thoroughly practical and
smart, the esthetic or picturesque note
being reserved for the home.
There is nothing new under the sun
is an axiom that is forcibly brought
home when one studios the newest
versions of the old world headgear
that has once more come Into use
again. In the old coaching days the
postilion wore a hat; with the shape
we are all familiar. The smart mon-
daine now has this bat carried out in
panama; around the crown is a drap
ery of black satin, in front a single
quill is introduced, on which is ap-
pllqued the wearer’s favorite flower.
The old world sailor has a low crown
and very broad brim.
That there are handBome rewards
for those who are able to devise im
provements in gunB and machinery la
shown in sums that have been paid in
fees to inventors at army ordnance
factories for the year ending March,
1914. No less than £4,000, for in
stance, was paid to Col. C. L. Holden,
late superintendent of the royal gun
and carriage factories, for various in
ventions and improvements connected
with ordnance mountings, machine
tools, etc., In addition to £600 paid on
another account; while £2,860 was
paid to Mr. W. T. Thomson, chemist
and manager, respectively, of the
Royal Gunpowder factory, for improve
ments in the manufacture of nitro
cellulose and accompanying apparatus,
in addition to a previous £1,150.
Smaller amounts, such as £250 te
Mr. W. H. Turton, manager of the
Royal Gun factory, for improved ma
chines for the manufacture of ord
nance; £100-to Mr. W. Lambert for a
process for testing steel bullets; £26
each to William Rogers and E. F. Ful
ler for labor-saving and improved
tools for use at the Royal Carriage
department, and £20 to Assistant
Foreman S. Capon, Royal Gun Factory
forges, for improved muffle for use in
forges, have also been paid.—Tit-Bits.
Braid and Fur.
Braid and fur are interestingly com
bined in ornaments for cloth coats,
There are frogs of black braid edged
with a narrow fringe of soft black fur,
and, with a fur collar or braid banding
on the coat, the effect of these frocks
would be very good.
SELECT THE RIGHT COLORS
One of the Main Ideas to Be Observed
by Woman Who Alma to Be
Well Dressed.
King’s Condition Critical
London.—A Reuter dispatch from
Athens - describes the condition of
King Constantine of Greece as ex
tremely critical. The message said
anxious crowds were surrounding the
palace. Telegrams received at the
Greek legation from Athens, filed sever
al hours in advance of the Reuter dis
patch, were more reassuring. One
said the king’s condition was "not
immediately dangerous.” An qarlier
telegram described the operation per
formed on the king ns "serious but
• successful.”
Porto Rico Workingmen Appeal
Washington.—President Wilson was
urged in a petition carried to the
White House by a committee repre
senting the Free Federation of Work
ingmen of Porto Rico to appoint a
commission to investigate labor condi
tions in the island. It was represent
ed that "the rights, the liberties and
the lives of the masses of the people
of Porto Rico are placed in jeopardy
by the mal-administration of the
laws." Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, en
dorsed the petition.
A sallow skin is invariably beauti
fied by blue, particularly the brighter
shades! But all grays, tans, moles and
undecided colors should be most rigid
ly avoided. The woman with black
hair and a sallow complexion can al
ways dress in the rather brilliant col
ors, while the woman-with light brown
hair must make the most of blues,
cerise, pinky maize, and possibly scar
let She should seldom wear white;
and must beware of the-delicate pastel
shades that so beautify the blonde and
brunette with a pink and white skin.
Very few people can look as smart
or charming in one color aB in an
other, and while a dress of the most
becoming hue incurs the expenditure of
not.one penny more than a robe of
doubtful taste It is worth three or four
times as much to its wearer. It en
hances her good points and makes the
very best of her defects, and is still
wearable—nay, more, still charming—
after a length of service that would
have taken every scrap of affect anql
charm from a dress which had been
chosen for its style alone.
Many women owe their reputation
for beauty to being harmoniously
dressed—for choosing the right color
soheme and having the courage to
stick to it. But, of course, this is not
by any moanB an easy thing to do, par
ticularly in these days of "ready
mades," when-in order to - be faithful
to one’s belief in color-care it 1b often
necessary to pass by an unusually at
tractive hat or blouse simply because
Its hue Is apt to accentuate the wear
er's paleness when fatigued, or, in-an
other case, to detract from the bright
ness of her eyes.
But the limitations imposed, upon
woman by this - care and discrimina
tion in dress are compensated for bV
the fact that however simply or eco
nomically attired she is always at her
best.
POPULARITY OF PLAID SILKS
Have a Distinct Advantage When
Blended in Combination With a
Plain Material.
Plaid silks are having a little fad
all their own. They certainly blend
in very well in combination with plain
material. For instance, at a recent
opening was shown a frock which was
very striking in design, t although sub
dued enough in coloring' to be worn oh
the street. It had a Bkirt, full gath
ered, of a large green, blue and black
taffeta, In much the same coloringB as
the old fashioned ' blanket shawls
There was a ten-inch hem of dark
jblue taffeta which matched the waist.
The latter was made in jacket effect
over a vest also of the blue, both be
ing ornamented with .small buttons
covered with the blue taffeta. The
collar was high at the back and
the V-opening in front there were
small lapels of thread lace. The up
per half of the sleeves was of dark
blue chiffon.
Black and white checked silks are
also used a great deal for the silk
coat suits which are so important
part of milady’s wardrobe this year.
Ashamed of Them.
“I see the Sayre baby cried with
loud protest when it was made a
Christian.”
“Well, when you see the way Chris
tians are acting just now in the world,
can you blame the baby?”
On the Other Hand.
"Now, this new war play - Is a se
vere arraignment of the man who
won’t go to the front and fight for hla
country."
T see. And no doubt the large
number of male actors in the case feel
that it isn’t up to them.”
Her Task,-
“What was the. class doing today,
Ethel?”
“Knitting socks for soldiers."
“How many did you knit, dear?”
“Only one sock, mamma.”
“Why didn’t you knit a pair, child?”
"Because I waB knitting for a one-
legged soldier, mamma.”
Speaking of War.
Church—Don't hear so much now of
engagements of American women and
foreigners.
Gotham—Thq foreigners seem to
be kept pretty busy now with en
gagements among themselves.”
A newspaper’s income springs from

GET POWER
The 8upply Comes From Food.
If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can. That
is only possible by selecting food that
exactly fits the requirements of the
body.
"Not knowing how to select the right
food to fit my needs, I suffered griev
ously for a long time from stomaob
trouble,” wrlteB a lady from a little
Western town. . •
“It seemed as If I would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything that
1 could eat would stay on my stomach.
Every attempt gave me heart-burn and
filled my stomach with; gas. I got thin
ner and thinner until I literally be
came a living skeleton and in time was
compelled to keep to my bed.
"A few months ago I was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that I kept up its use. 1 was surprised
at the ease with which I digested it. It
proved to be Just what I needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heart-burn, the inflated feeling which
gave me so. much pain, disappeared.
My weight gradually Increased from 98
to 116 lbs., my figure rounded out, my
strength came baok, and I am now able
to do my housework and enjoy it.
Grape-Nuts did it."
A ten dayB trial will show anyonp
some facts about food.
