Which comprises two men Including him

for uniforms to be furnished the United

She persuaded about IM of the KO girls
employed. In the factory that all that
,was necessary to fltJL.ftn extra. dollar In
their pa'y ertvolopcs was to strike for It.
Accordingly, about tho number men

gator foiyid there waa nothing doing in
tho extra dollar line, she weakened, and
went rjsht-back to the Job. Her fellow
strikers said things when they heard of
their yould-be leader's treachery, and
waited' around thp factory entrance for

attempted to scratch her face and pull
her hair,' but she was rescued by the
gallant chief of police and escorted to

gets attention from men and the other
girl, noticing this fact and at the same
time noticing that the maiden under ob
servation is quite devoid of understand
ing, deduces the strange1 Idea that the at
traction lies In the lack of brains, and
that they, too, had better go hence and
do likewise,
t
It Isn't hard for them to hide the meta
phorical light ot their Intelligence under
a bushel. Upon the contrary. It Is ex
ceedingly easy. For any play of brain
power demands some llttlo effort, even
In the most Rifted of beings. And
Stupidity can be cultivated more easily
than Intelligence where there's a will,
there's a way, you know.
The girls are quite right In thlnklntt
that the pretty, fluffy girl gets attention.
8he does. But It Is In sptto of her lack
of brains, not because of that lack. She
Is admired for her prettlncss. She would
be doubly admired If she had brains to
go with that prettlncss. No sensible mnti
likes a mere doll, And although the
fluffy, feather-brained ulrl may have lots
of admirers, she seldom haa very many
"worth-while" ofTers of marriage. Tho
term "worth while" does not necessarily
mean financially "worth while." It Im
plies that tho man who offers himself as
a partner for a life of double blessedness
has qualities worthy of respect, and some
degree, of mentality himself.
The virtue of standing nlone Is the bet
preparation for marriage. For the woman
who can stand alone does not need to
accept the first man who comes along,
nor does she give hor
affection lightly There
Is nothing of the cling
ing vine about her. She
Is strong and self
reliant. And strength
and self-reliance are
the most valuable as
sets which a woman
can possess In this ex
ceedingly hard, work-a-day
world.
'
If women would come
to realize the fact th-it
a constant craving for
amusement and for the
society ui other people Is a public con
fession of weakness, and only serves t
turn (hem Into restless, dissatisfied
beings, they would cultivate their own
resources and learn a certain measure
of quiet Independence.

The Merlon Boclety for the Itecovery of
Htolen Horses 'and Detection ot Thieves
has vindicated Itself for retaining the
first half ot Its title In these days, when
horse stealing In and about Philadelphia
has become on obsolete art The society
has n case.
Just how long It has been since a real,
sura 'nuft horso thief has given the Jlaln
Line organization something to do, none
of the members was able to say today. H.
L, Yocum, secretary, asserts that It has
been a good many years, but, that he
would have to delve long and labbrlously
In the archives of the society to find the
exact date of the last ease. For minv
years, according to Mr. Yocum, the V)
members of the society have contented
themselves with semiannual meetings, at
which social topics, rather than horse
thieving, have been discussed.
The "case" now being Investigated Is
the theft of two horses and a milk de
livery wagon from tho Bellevue Dairy
on September 14. The society Is ad
vertising the loss In the dally papers
and offering a reward of 150 for the arrest
nnd conviction of the thief, nnd M re
ward for the recovery of each horse. The
society will have something to talk about
at Its next semiannual meeting.
AUTUMN FASHIONS SOMBRE
IN COLORINGS THIS SEASON
Variety of Fabrics Shown at Fall
Opening of Collins & Co.
Autumn fashions are more or less
sombre In their colorings this season,
but the variety or fabrics, both for suit
ings and afternoon and evening gowns,
Is truly surprising. The newest after
noon material used on the most exclu
sive gowns Is a wonderfully soft chiffon
cloth, with wide bands of panne velvet
of tho same shade alternating In wide
stripes. It Is a most effective combina
tion, and a stunning costume In cloth of
this kind Is shown at Oppcnhclm, Col
lins & Co.'s opening.
The rcdlngote style Is still fashionable,
although the tendency toward a slightly
curved waist lino Is evident. 'Ihls par
ticular dress Is called a matinee, and
has n long redlngote tunic of chiffon,
edged with wide bands of black fox fur.
The neck Is high, buttoning up snugly
to the chin, with a fur collar. A mili
tary touch is given tho blouse by dull,
cold-braided epaulettes at the shoulders.
The skirt Is short and full. It Is one of
the simplest costumes Imaginable, but
decidedly effective.
Kvenlng gowns show a penchant for
vivid colorings. Deep violet, emerald
green, brilliant cerise and rainbow-tinted
effects arc some of the novelties shown.
Chiffon, tulle and nets ot all descriptions
are combined with panne velvet. Velvets
are used almost without exception. An
other charming gown for evening wear
was made of emerald green panne vel
vet, decidedly decollete, on empire lines.
The bodice was a striking example of
the one-sided method of drapery, with
a long, flowing angel sleevo of tulle on
one side, and the other side quite sleeve
less. The effect Is unique. A corsage of
crystal and rhlnestoncs holds up the
tunic of the skirt, which is also draped
to one tide. Crystal tassels are used to
fasten tho drapery at the back ot the
skirt. A noticeable feature of .the new
skirts Is their nlarmlng shortness. They
disappear at i point iforabove the ankles
ond resolve tbcms'elyes",frito' lacy petti
coats or chtffqn draperies' at the bottom.
Fur trimmings of' ov"ory description are
seen In the suit department, The rage
lor veivew uido.is, eviaeiu-jtiinougn mere
are a great many poplin,.' ee'reo and broad
cloth models to be Been Colorings are
markedly sombre. Black velvet Is the
favorite, with white moire trimming, A
striking three-piece suit of this descrip
tion is shown, with a Bheer blouse. An
other very stunning costume Is made of
brown velvet, with collar and cuffs of
red fox fur.
BROWNS AND CHECKS POPULAR
Expert at Wanamaker and Brown's
Discusses Styles at Fall Opening
"All shades of brown's and large checks
will predominate In women's fall gar
ments" said Miss M. Y. Kondle, In charge
of tho woman's department of Wana
maker & Brown, 6th and Market streets,
on the occasion of their fall opening to
day. "Tho only really new color Is field
mouse gray,"' sho Bald. "It Is true the
styles are becoming more practical, and
for that reason darker colors prevail, but
that may bo accounted for by the scarcity
of dyes as much as from a utilitarian
point of view. Two-tone browns espe
cially will oe very fashionable in both
coats and suits this fall.
"Fur trimming Is quite the vogue, but
braid trimming will also be very fash
ionable. "Importations, both of material and
made-up garments, will be very limited
on account of the war, but Wanamaker
& Brown are prepared to please the most
fastidious taste, not only In street cos
tumes and wraps, but in anything from
a morning to an afternoon gown.
"One feature of this house Is the copy
ing ot very expensive costumes. A
fur-trimmed street costume at 135 Is an
exact copy ot a model which Is priced
by a fashionable establishment at $125.
"The materials wh)ch will be most
worn this fall are broadcloth and duve
tyne, but taffeta will also be In great
demand. A handsome gown of the latter
can bo had as low as (15.
"Everything In women's clothing is
tending toward the practical. Auto coats
are now made so that they can also serve
as wraps for afternoon and evening wear.
"Furs are going to be very expensive,
but please have the weather man send
us some cold weather before we begin to
discuss such a warm subject," said Miss
Konkle.

A NEW IDEA
BLOUSES are attracting their proper
amount of attention Just now, since
the fall styles havo become mora de
cided and colorings have come to stay.
The first few models were alarmingly
different ; some were quaint, some tailored
and some severely plain.' Of course, these
styles do, and naturally must, vary with
the occasion on which they are worn.
The tailored styles In taffetas, heavy
satin, glove silk and striped materials
will still bo the thing for informal and
morning wear.
A smart little blouse for afternoon af
fairs, and for tho Impromptu bridge or
matinee Is shown In today's fashion Illus

cut on these lines Is that one could really
wear It with tho dressy velvet suit or
DOOLEY BUG HUNTED TO DEATH;
WEST PHILADELPHIA BREATHES
Insect That Spread Terror and Hurled Fuzz Bombs
Defiant to Last and Died With Malevolent
Sneer on Its Evil Lips
The Dooley bug has been captured, and
West Philadelphia Is breathing easier;
but it was only after a stubborn resist
ance that the murderous insect sub
mitted. The bug led its captors a chaBe,
and hurled bombs at them In the shape
of poisonous fuzz, which, it Is believed,
causes much pain when It gets In a cut
on the body.
Like all community terrors, the bug
was captured when It least expected to
be. 8. Hoy Tllles. of 222 North 58th Btreet,
was the captor. Tllles Is employed at
his brother's butcher shop at 1645 Chester
avenue. This afternoon ho went Into a
feed store at 6641 Chester avenue and
talked to Max Weiss, one of the clerks.
WcIfs was resting his hands on a pile
of paper bags behind the counter; Sud
denly he felt a terrible sting and was hor
rified to see a long splderllke bug crawl
ing over his hand. It hopped, skipped and
Jumped to tho top of the counter.
"It's the Dooley bug!" shouted Tllles.
Then he picked up a pack of paper bags
and fired. But the bug only hissed at him
and wagged Its tall contemptuously as It
sailed out the door.
But Tllles was determined. He and Max
began a fusillade ot potatoes and toma
toes obtained from a nearby store and
pursued the Dooley creature to the store
ot John Cuthbert. News of the bug's pres
ence quickly circulated and housekeepers
banged their windows shut and watched
from the Inside.
But several brave youngsters Joined In
the chase with clubs. The bug flew to
tho top ot the window of Cuthbert's store
and stuck out its tongue. Some of the
pursuers backed away, but not Tllles.
He drove a wad of paper bags at the

It comes straight from Gtddlng and has
all the charming elegance which Is so

Cream-colored lace, combined with
Georgctto crepe. Is the foundation for
this waist. The high collar Is made like
those which were shown In velvet last

usually of metallic lace. Jn this case
the cllare and silk cord are made of old
bluo moire.
Notice the deep yoke of crepe on the
shoulders and extending half way down
the front of tho blouse. This Is going
to be a great favorite with the designers
ot exclusive styles. The peplum effect
Is made of plaited chiffon, and the long,
msel sleeves are finished oft with a
smart stitching of old blue silk and a
wide-open cuff of crepe.
Insect and clipped off one of Its elghV
legs clean as a whlsle. When the bug
tried to fly It found It was lopsided
and volplaned sldewlse to earth. A few
short gasps, a wriggle and It was dead.
The bug caused terror In West Phila
delphia, especially at the home of Harry
S. Dooley, of 1837 South 57th street, where
It was first discovered. There It bit
Dooley's baby and caused the family
many sleepless nights. It was also dis
covered prowling around other houses.
The bug Is about two Inches long and
half an Inch wide and has a head out
of all 'proportion to its body. Underneath
Its head are two sacks, where it keeps
the blood which It has been procuring
from residents of West Philadelphia and
Haddington.
Scientifically speaking, the bus is an
"epelra dladema." As a Dooley Is a
"palanquin," according to Webster, and
a "palanquin" Is a long Utter with shut
ters on the side, tho creature Is Justly
named.

"Big" Harry Bortz, After
Seven Months' Illness,
to Be on His Old
Beat Soon
"Big" Harry Borts, a policeman at
tached to the 28th and York streets sta
tion, will return to hl beat about Octo
ber 1, according to his physicians, and
the children and business men living on
his beat are rejoicing today over th.
news.
Harry, as everybody calls him, haa
been In bed for more than seven months
at his brother's home, 2455 North. 16th
street, with a complication of diseases
brought on by diphtheria, contracted last
February. In fact, It was on September
20 that the children residing In the dis
trict bounded by 29th street, S3d street,
York street and Susquehanna avenue
first missed the big Jovial frame and
kindly, smiling' features of Borti. He
was taken sick the night before while on
his beat and rushed to his home.
"I (JOT TO LIVE," HE SAID.
There a physician doubtfully shook his
head and called other members of his
profession, until seven of tho learned
practitioners had assembled and declared
that the big policeman was beyond all
hope of recovery. They told him bo,
and he shook his head, too, but not with
the same meaning as the physicians:
"I got to live," ho feebly muttered;
"the kids all need mo. And I'm going to
get well In spite of you."
That was the beginning of what the
doctors said was tho end. For 19 weeks
his mind waa a complete blank, and the
physicians used 80 gallons of oxygen dur
ing that time In an effort to keep him
alive.
His massive 235-pound frame dwindled
to a mere shadow with the loss of more
than 100 pounds, but when his mind
cleared and he recognized his brother
Clinton his first words were:
"Clint, I guess I beat the grim old
reaper at that. Tell tho kids I'll be back
on tho Job before long and not to tforry."
But tho youngsters were worrying, for
Bortz waa to them one to be loved and
not feared, as Is the usual rule In the
case of a policeman. If Johnny Jones
got Into an argument with Billy Smith
and they could not settle It between
themselves, they looked up Bort and let
him decide, and abided by his decision.
If little Mary Brown was treated rudely
by some rough boy next door, she told
"Harry," nnd the big policeman hunted
out the disturber and gave him a lecture
trat he alwtys remembered, If ever ho
was inclined to play roughly with a little
girl again.
And when any Infractions of the police
regulations were broken by the children,
Bortz, Instead of placing them under ar-

And Is worthy of the trust,

Don't be stingy with the pay.
Let her have her little say.
Let her vote.
