WORK OR FIGHT
PUNCH CARD IS
BECOMING POPULAR
New York, July 15.—Isn’t It wonder
ful to think of the vast arm r of wom
en that Is standing behind our army
cf men? Everywhere one sees post
ers of "The Women’s Land Army of
America’’ and tho thousand and one
other things that the women are do
ing so well. Just the one subject of
the Canning Kitchens (that are being
run by communities at large) is inter
esting from the scientific standpoint
for the strides made in canning ac
cording to the instructions Issued by
the Government.
Work Suit of Khaki.
Of course, in this day of efficiency,
it would be ridiculous for the women
to wear costumes that are suitable
only for hours of recreation. Ruffles
and furbelows are out of place in the
kitchen, and so the working dress has
come into a very prominent place in
the wardrobe of the woman who is
doing things.
Clothes—And The Hour.
Our time is all planned out, so much
for our Red Cross, so much for the
Canteen, so much for the Canning
Kitchen and, of course, so much for
our own homes and the duties that we
must perform there. Our wardrobes,
too, are carefully planned. We have
our Red Cross Apron and Cap, our
Canteen Apron and Cap (for the cap
plays as important a part as the apron
these days) and the apron and cap
that we wear in the canning kitchen
Then there are uniforms for women
who are doing their bit in the muni
tion plans, trim and without any un
necessary fulness whatsoever. There
are service uniforms for women who
a re driving nmbulances or motors for
the transporting of troops. Each is
different and each is in itself an indi
cation of the times.
When we work in our garden (and
of course we all have gardens this
year), we wear a s mock, perhaps,
with a very short skirt and a wided
brimmed sun-hat. Perhaps, however,
we prefer bloomers as being less trou
blesome than a short skirt. It is all
a matter of personal taste, and which
we feel the most comfortable in!
Here is cn illustration of a work
suit for women which has been adopt
ed by the United States Government,
to be worn in munition plants where
flying skirts are a danger on account
of the machinery. There is a cap to
protect the hair, a blouse and trouser-
ettes. The blouse is finished at the
waistline with a belt, and the trou-
serettes button to this belt. There
are quite as many pockets on this suit
as on a man’s suit, and they are in
just the right places. Note the large
hip pocket on the right side of the
back, and the big ones in front, both
on the trouserettes and on the blouse.
In Leisure Hours.
For those hours when we rest from
our labors there must be the most
comfortable of costumes. The dress
ing gown or negligee of today is al
ways included in the war-time ward
robe. It need not be elaborate, far
from it! but it must be pretty, and be
coming, for it is in these times of
relaxation that we need the . contrast
afforded by frills and dainty colors.
There are fascinating little slipover
jackets to be worn over skirts of sat
in or crepe de Chine. The sleeves
are always loose and flowing, and the
girdle, if there is one, is fashioned on
rather medieval lines. For very warm
days the wash kimono is best. Dot
ted Swiss or voile is cool and dainty,
and some of the lighter China silks
are also good. The house dresses also
are carefully thought cut. Gingham
and calico have been elevated to the
position of honor this sumnfer, but
still hold their places for morning
dresses.
About Shoes.
In our army there is a great deal
of time devoted to the care of the feet.
Every day there is a foot inspection
Just as there is an inspection of arms,
uniforms, etc., and also of health. The
women of America are now also real
izing how important it is to have shoes

that are omfortable and sensible. It
is ubsurd to see high French heels
with a service uniform, and we all
know it. Low heels are the style for
daytime wear. Of course, we all still
wear high heels in the evening or for
dress occasions, but not when we ex
pect to do any amount of walking or
standing on our feet.

Atlanta, July 15, 1918.—The plan by
which the city of Savannah has been
able to enforce General Crowder’s
■•work or fight" order will in all prob
ability be put into effect in this city.
This is annrunced by the representa
tives of practically every industrial
enterprise in Atlanta, following a con
ference with representatives of the
chamber of commerce.
The Savannah plan conhists of fur
nishing each male worker with a card.
Every day he works his card Is
punched and the police authorities
<an tell at a moment’s notice whether
a tnan picked up on the street for
idleness has fulfilled his weekly stunt.
The method is said to have worked
wonders in Savannah and will be tried
out in Atlanta.

Made Milwaukee Famous
Atlanta, July 15.—Information that
came to Atlanta today from Macon,
from an apparently reliable source,
that Col. John T. Boifeuillet, now fill
ing the unexpired term of Hon. Joseph
F. Gray on the state railroad commis
sion, will tomorrow announce his can
didacy for the United States Senate,
was freely passed around the lobby of
the Kimball House.
It has been known for more than
two weeks that Col. Boifeuillet lias
had the matter under consideration
and that certain members of the
House cf Representatives have been
urging him to get into the race. He
spent the week-end in Macon in con
ference over the prospective candi
dacy and returned to Atlanta this
morning, but up to this afternoon bad
not himself made any announcement.
Changes iStuation.
. Col. Boifeuiilet’s announcement for
tlie Senate will materially exchange
(he nspect cf tho race to be made for
tlie Railroad Commission, where il has
been generally taken for granted he
would be re-elected without opposition
to the place he is now filling by ap
pointment by Governor Harris.
Judge George Hillyer some time ago
announced that lie would not offer for
re-election and immediately following
that announcement Representative
Volney Williams, of Waycross, an
nounced his candidacy for that office.
Recently Representative Trox Banks
ton, of Troupe County made the state
ment that he, to", would possibly of
fer for that place.
Mr. Boifeuillot’s entrance in the
Senatorial race will make another
open place, on the state railroad com-
i mission and there is today quite a
| considerable and noticeable move-
| ment to Induce Representative Cecil
Neill to offer to succeed Colonel Boi-
louillet. The suggestion, when made
last week, immediately took root and
has grown considerably.
Colonel Shipp To Run,
It became known tonight that if
Col. J. T. Boifeuillet enters the race
for the Senate Judge Robert >L. Shipp,
of Moultrie, will run for the Railroad
Commission.
He was a member of the last House
and for two yenrs a persistent fighter
for a State warehouse commission sys
tem under jurisdiction of the Railroad
Commission. His friends say there
is a chance that he may enter the
race anyway.
