Let the United States Commandeer Her
Young Men for Work on the Farms.
By C. GOUVERNEUR HOFFMAN.
The United States is now in danger of a real food shortage, which
f conceivably might develop into actual famine. Then let the United States
commandeer her youth to produce food, and thus to conserve the resources
of her own people.
In other words, pass such legislation in Washington as shall authorize
the federal government to conscript the young men (say, all those between
the ages of 18 and 20), and distribute them centrally over the arable land
of the entire country, particularly in those great tracts of the middle West
and Southeast where the cultivation of essential food stuffs is promoted
on the widest and most intensive scale; have them selected solely as to
their physical fitness, without regard to class or sect or color, and fix their
wages (to be paid by their employers) strictly according to the principles
of army pay; make term of service six months, possibly a year, allowing
*gthe plan as a whole to operate just so long as this extraordinary condition
of present market values continues to confront the public.
With a nation-wide menace, there must be nation-wide measures.
^ace Slapped; Woman Scorned; Revenge!
SAN FRANCISCO—Because he lost
his temper and slapped his girl’s
face, Anthony de Filipo, alias Blake,
is in the city prison as a fugitive from
Justice en route to Newark, N. ,T„
where he is wanted in connection with
the murder of two men. With him is
his pal, Peter Ruggero, alias Jack
Stanley, alias Jack Rosenberg, want
ed by Newark police in connection
with the same case.
In a lover's quarrel De Filipo
slapped the girl’s face and said, “I
ought to give you more.” The slap
changed the girl from a trusting
sweetheart to a woman scorned. She
appeared at police headquarters.
“I know where there are two men
it wanted for murder in Newark. I will
lead you to them provided you don't
ask my name and will protect me
against their wrath.” she told the ser
geant at the detective bureau. “It’s
all true, for they confided in me and
they have newspaper clippings on the
case.”
De Filipo and Ruggero were arrest
ed. Newspaper clippings in their pos
session told the story. Members of
two different “gangs” happened upon
one another in the Florence Gardens,
an Italian restaurant in Newark, on |
the night of March 26. A tight fol
lowed and shots were fired. When the
police arrived the gangsters were dis
persed and two men were lying dead
on the floor.
During a short courtship here, the
girl told the police, De Filipo confided
in her that he and Ruggero were want
ed in connection with the double mur
der. He said, according to the girl,
that his father is worth half a million
dollars and that as soon as the
trouble was smoothed over they would
go back together and his father wouid
settle part of the estate on him.
Her revenge complete at the sight
of De Filipo and Ruggero wearing
handcuffs, she left the hall of justice
to lake the next train for Pleasanton,
She said, and live with her sister, who
is a nurse there.
Perfect for the College Girl
IT IS certain that one-piece dresses
for street wear are to rival suits
during the coming fall and winter, and
■^.hey may achieve leadership in the be
ginning of the season. Quite as cer
tainly every fall wardrobe will con
tain one or more of these neat, con
venient and economical garments.
They are of the same character as
suits, made of the same materials and
adorned with the same trimmings.
This makes it easy for the thrifty to
convert a last year’s suit into a this
year’s dress. An ingenious seamstress
enjoys this remodeling of gowns and
will find a variety of styles, ranging
from very plain dresses to those that
allow touches of bright color and the
introduction of clever draperies,
which she can follow in her work. It
is refreshing to have these changes in
everyday clothes and substitutes for
suits. Combinations of two materials,
as satin and wool in the same color,
solve the problem of sufficient material
in made-over dresses.
The frock shown here will hardly
tax the abilities of the average seam
stress. Its skirt is straight-hanging,
with rows of silk braid encircling it at
intervals of about five inches and ma
chine stitched, on one edge, to place.
It is Joined to a plain bodice at the
waistline and has a narrow panel set
on at the left side over the ends of
the braid. Satin covered, round but
tons, set on in pairs, make a telling
finish for this panel and the skirt may
be taken as a criterion as to length.
The bodice has several details Jhat
are interesting. It opens at the side
and on the shoulder, closing with snap
fasteners. The sleeves are a little
longer than elbow length and depend
upon braid for their adornment, hav
ing no cuffs. Braid redeems the low
er part of the bodice from uninterest
ing plainness and a close-set row of
small satin-covered buttons extends
from the braid to the throat. The col
lar is very new, being a wide ruche
of accordion plaited material like the
dress, banded by a tie of narrow rib
bon finished with a rosette at the left
side. A wide ^rdle is made of satin
ribbon having a single long loop at
the back, but the girdle may be of the
same material as the dress and fin
ished at the left side, where it fastens
with satin-covered buttons. This is a
little more practical than a sash end.
