DEATH CLAIMS
:. JOHN MITCHELL,
LABOR LEADER
NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (by Associat
ed Press).—John Mitchell, former
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, died here yesterday
as the result of a recent operation
for the removal of gallstones.
For the past four years Mr. Mit
chell had been chairman of the state
industrial commission, and formerly
was chairman of the state food com
mission and member of the federal
food board.
John Mitchell for many years was
a commanding figure in the world of
organized labor. He was associated
with that group of conservative lead
ers headed by Samuel Gompers, and
he always exercised a great,influence
in the councils of the American Fed
eration of Labor, not merely because
of his position as head of the great
miners’ organization, but because of
his great personal ability and sincer
ity. Probably no man in the labor
movement in this country enjoyed to
a greater degree the respect and con
fidence of both employer and employe
than did John Mitchell.

SWEATER IN FAVOR j
Garment Is Delightful Part of [
Summer Wardrobe.
No Other Piece Can Be So Easily Put
on and Adjusted to Be
comingness.
The sweater Is not in the height of
fashion. That we all know. Yet
every woman -has a sweater in her
wardrobe, and most women have sev
eral sweaters. We have been told,
notes a fashion writer, that sweaters
now are worn for warmth. A couple
of seasons ago they were worn be
cause they were in vogue. To be sure,
sweaters are worn for warmth now—
partly. But they are also worn be
cause they are a delightful part of
the summer wardrobe. In no other
way can a bright dash of color be so
effectively procured and no other gar
ment can be so easily put on and ad
justed to becomingness.
Therefore it is the day of the
sweater, even though to a more limit
ed extent than was the case a year or
so ago.
One reason, of course, why women
have, some of them, more sweaters
this year than they had last is be
cause they have time this summer for
knitting. They were too busy making
Red Cross sweaters and socks and hel
mets last summer to find time and
needles for sweaters for themselves.
Now Red Cross knitting, excepting for
the refugee garments, is not needed.
And therefore women are knitting for
themselves.
Really good hand-knit sweaters of
wool are very expensive when bought
ready made. Wool is still high. La
bor is high. The same condition holds
good of silk sweaters. They also are
expensive.
So if you can make your own sweat
er you can save a great deal on that
garment, for you give your labor to
yourself and have only the cost of the
wool to consider.
One of the new sweaters is that
made of the finest sort of Shetland
Winsome Sport Costume.
floss, knitted singly into a coat sweat
er, with long sleeves and a sash. The
sash is sometimes quite wide and ties
in a loose knot at one side or at the
back. These sweaters are knitted on
coarse needles and look especially
well over the all-white frock.
Another one of the season’s new of
ferings is the tremendously popular
filet sweater. It is crocheted instead
of knitted, but it is a sweater just the
same.
FADS AND FANCIES

complete the summer outfit.
