It's the stuff that our Fall and Winter frocks and suits are lo be fash'oned from that has us all a go. Ono thing is sure, we are going to be even more" fear-somely fur pome than ever. Esquimos will look positively bare-Bklnned com pared to ua if we wear all the furry fashions that the fur designers have prepared for us. Fur coats are to be fuller and more ripply than last season and In order to rob Peter to pay Paul or, n other words, save on our other fur garments to put more into our coats, muffs are to be positively skimpyr-aa- 'twere. Just little round bullet affairs. The- craze for moles that has evinced itself in our summer fur collars promises to lap over in the winter season and, in consequence ti.usj little underground habitants have s!;y hteh psices. Basking In the dazzling light of popular fancy hs enough to account for the blind ness rf the 1916 mole. Mink will return this winter to fashionable favor and kolinsky and skunk still hold their own.

It comei In narrow strips for handings and also in yard width lengths. In the same widths also comes 'ursine'' which has a thick, soft, furllke nap. For frocks we will ape the monks with two mateHalf loosely woven l'ke s:cncloih or the coarse fabric of which friars robes ore made. Like a twilled ratine is 'serge iuoulTlonno.;' and "drnpe'tyl" is a close imitation of breacloth.

As for colors we are to go quite subdef-d und almost sombre, de mnro'y draped In brown, blue or violet. Brown in particular is to be much worn and tnany a smart Fall suit will b done brown. There is a new shade of it called "Senega lals." At least, its name is new and that is about all as It would be hard to differentiate betworn It and our old brown friend "tete de negre."

FEDERAL AID FIB HIGH SCHOOLS Uncle Sam Wants to Lend a Hand in Training Boys and Girls for Real Life And For Good Work (By United Press) Washington, Aug. "fi Uncle Sam wiil .ut a vocational course of trainin; in every high sdiool in the country if a 1 ill that has just pass ed the Senate also passes the House of Representatives. Indica ti.uis t"day are that the till will become a law socn. The bill was introduced simul taneously 'n b;,th houses by Sena tor Hoke Smith and Representa tive Hughes, both of Georgia. It is an elaboration of the federal aid system by which "le United States government TTnnual'.y contributes nearly $100,COO to each state for the maintenance of agricultural col leges and experiment statlons( as well as four million, one hundred thousand dollars to carry on the rural extension system of vocati onal instructirn for farmers through out the country. The proposed law is the result ot a steadily growing conviction that the prospective farmer, or, nowadays, scientific 1 agriculturist, should be extended the opportuni ties of an agricultural schooling at an early age and not be compelled toatt"e'nd the agricultural college for the rudiments of his trade. It has been felt that a large pro portion of boys dest'ned to make their living from the soil are un able to afford a college education and need high school credits for college entrance anyhow. Eighteen states now extend aid o their high schools fpr courses in agriculture, the mechanic arts and home economies. Minnesota annu ally appropriates $300,0(10 for this work . To standardize and nationalize the high school a'd work the Smith -Hughes bill provides that the United States shall share in the payment of salaries to state teach ers, inspwtors and directors in state high schools. It also pro vides for a Federal Board of Voca tional EducaUon. This Board, which would consist of the Commissioner Of Education of the United States as Chairman and four momhrrs to be nppolned (not more than two from any poll ileal party) by the Pres d mt. This ttonrd and -state educational author ities would co operate in outlining courses. The States Relation service of the Department of Agriculture has pursued the system still further by preparing a comprehensive sys tem of courses In agriculture. These have been offered to the states for use in their grammar rchools, In the rural districts. Alabama, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Maryland and Vermont have Install ed the course in all their elemental schools since the initiation of the plan a year or so ago.
