NOME, ALASKA, JULY 15, 1916.
Just what particular effect is pro
duced on the general scheme of things
by the Federation of Women's Clubs,
we confess that we do not know but.
if that organization has never done
anything else worthy of special note,
the action taken by its last biennial
convention in frowning upon the pres
ent amazingly freakish and rapidly
changing styles in women’s dress
surely entitles it to special commen
dation.
The convention not only condemned
the present fashions but also declar
ed that styles in women’s dress have
now reached an extreme where a rad
ical change both in methods anil
styles is demanded.
The opinion of the Federation was
expressed by Mrs. Thomas A. Edison
i.i the following words:
Women should strive for simpli
city and modesty in their dress.
The ever changing styles of today
are responsible for street dresses
that are only astonish but horrify,
The latest style, it appears, calls
for an abbreviation of dresses at
top and bottom, in some cases
beyond tlie bounds of modesty.
While we have no recollection of
being unduly horrified at anything we
have seen in the line of wamen’s gar
ments, although we confess that there
is mighty little to be seen of some
of them, we, never the less, feel like
adding our humble endorsement to
the remarks of the estimable Mrs.
Edison. That we have not been
shocked at some of the things we
have seen in the line of ladies wear
is possibly due to that certain moral
ohtuseness characteristic of the male.
It is conceded, however, that were it
not for this deficiency we would prob
ably find much to jar our sense of
the decorus when viewing the fem
inine fashions. Hegurdless of what
may be one's personal view of what
constitutes modesty or immodesty in
dress, one cannot hut admit that
present day styles, if not exceeding,
are at least drawing dangerously near
to the dividing line between modesty
and indecency.
As Mrs. Edison remarks, the abbrev
iation at both ends is, in many cases,
such as to cause even the male be
holder to feel that the decolate effect
has pretty nearly reached the
limit and something must happen or
blinders will become a necessity.
At the present time there is so
much of the ladies exposed that one
cannot forbear to wonder how it is
that they do not catch cold.
However, that is all right with us.
If the ladies want to trifle with pneu
mon*. that is their business. Neither
do we consider teh moral aspects of
the matter in the least. We agree
with the opinion of the Federation on
entirely different grounds and heart
ily endorse their view that the styles
should not only change hut also the
methods.
At the present time the tendency In
women’s dress is such as to force an
unwonted and unnecessary expense
upon whoever supplies the funds for
feminine adornment. Styles are so
nicely arranged by the fashion mak
ers, the people who make and design
garments, that the dress of today is
generally obsolete within u few weeks
or months and must then be discard
ed completely owing to a radical
change in the succeeding style. The
arbiters of feminine fashions exert
themselves to devise the most bizarre
costumes, embracing in their models
every freakish form of construction
to which cloth and tape and ribbon
can be twisted to conform. And the
whole idea ^ to force upon the fash
ion following female the necessity of
purchasing a new outtlt every time
the styles change—which is pretty
often.
The time has passed when the sty
lish garment of today can be convert
ed into the mode of tomorrow. No
longer can the thrifty female who
wishes to appear well turn her last
season's dress and, by mysterious de
vising, convert it into some stylish
creation of the hour. Nowadays if a
woman wishes to look well she has to
buy a new out til about every three or
four months.
Generally speaking the material
from which most of the women's gar
ments are made is of a character to
assist in bringing about this neces
sity. It can seldom be made over to
advantage even if the cutting of it
were not so cunningly planned that
| i be cloth, once made up, is practically
i useless for working over into other
] patterns. The result of it all is that
the women who wishes to keep in
\ good form must of necessity provide
herself with new robes every time the
1 fashions change and, we have heard
some husbands remark this occurred
about every fifteen minutes. We iiu
| not vouch for that statement but it
j is clear that, to escape the charge
! of "dowdishness" anil what woman
| does not cringe at the term—a wo
man of small means must make some
hard sacrifice somewhere in order lo
keep up appearance. "Out of the
fashion, is out of the world," a oele
ilod Frenchman said and the max
111 is echoed in every woman's heart
in greater or less degree. A woman
likes lo dress well and look nice anil
we don't blame her. Blit unless she
is provided with a fairly good in
come she carfhot, nowadays, make
more than a feeble and easily dis
cerned pretense of keeping up with
her more fortunate sisters. Even if
j we have no protest against the nh
I •irevlatcd features of present day
yles we still consider that a change
is highly desirable as the burden of
cost forced upon the women liy pres
nt styles is such as to produce a
more demoralizing Influence if long
continued than even the most ex
treme curtailment of the length or
breadth of a fashionable garment.
TAKING GRAVEL BANKS.
Quicksilver is being won from al
luvial deposits on the Klamath river
m Siskiyou county, the cinnabar ore

cent of mercury. The high price has
^ prompted re-treatment of dumps at
' old lode mines in California, like the
• Nape Consolidated, where stuff con
taining only n.l2 or one-eighth of one

i rated on Deister roughing tables.
