IN FASHION WORLD
Styles Afford Subject of Interest
to All People.
Always Something New Regarding
Clothing Designed for Women and
Their Beautification.
It is sometimes said that fashions
are talked about so much that nothing
new can be said of them, but when
one remembers the important part
they play in all civilized countries, both
from a commercial and an artistic
standpoint, observes a fashion writer,
it would seem to he a subject which
touches every one in some way and
in which all people are more or less
concerned.
Some may claim rhat It is a frivo
lous topic and that they are indiffer
ent to it, but if they recall what has
been said, that it affects financially
more than half of the world’s workers,
and that the remainder of society are
Interested in clothes because they
wear them, it would seein to involve
in some way every civilized person
and be a subject about which there is
constantly something new, however
cleverly written the articles concern
ing them may be that have appeared
from time immemorial.
The industrial value of clothes be
gius way hack In the growing of the
wool, the cotton, the flax, mohair, mul
berry trees, the getting of skins and
mining of precious stones and metals.
From there it passes through the
various processes of refining, polish
ing, manufacturing, weaving and mer
chandising until finally it reaches the
use for which it is destined—clothing
for all people of the civilized coun
tries.
Through this process one may trace
one of the great economic factors of
the age.
Education, culture, necessities and
luxuries ail show the influence of
clothes as a commercial factor, and
the more clearly we realize this the
more interest shall we have In the sub
ject and the more clearly shall we see
how necessary and how attractive the
subject really is in its many varying
phases.
Needlewomen of the faraway Islands
of the sea, bending patiently over their
lace to adorn the gown of the soci
ety queen, or the drawn work to be
deck the table of the high official of
the nation; the silk growers of the
orient or the cotton growers of the
South, many of them seeing but the
one gain, financial—all contribute to
the great commercial factor which
some designate “frivolous” and which
society calls “fashion.”
DISOBEY ORDERS, LOSE LIVES
No Trace of Ten Men Who Left
Wrecked Steamer Polias
in a Boat.
Rockland, Me.—The first mate, an
engineer and eight seamen of the
stranded freight steamer Polias, who
left the wreck for a boat, in defiance
of orders, are believed to have lost
their lives. The crew of the Burnt
island coast guard station, upon their
return from the steamer, expressed
the opinion that the lifeboat was
swamped In the heavy seas.
The captain of the Polias and the
remaining 28 of the crew were taker
off by two coast guard crews and
transferred to the coast guard cutter
Acushnet.

BAN JOHNSON BEHIND PLATE
Chief Executive of American League
Once Caught Game for Semi
Professional Team.
To look at Big Ban Johnson today
one would not believe that somewhere
back In dark ages the American
league president was a ball player and
a catcher at that.
Ban can remember the time when
all ball players were looked upon
WA'vJv
Ban B. Johnson.
with suspicion. His parents objected
to his indulging in the pastime, but
he nevertheless did catch for his col
lege team.
One day a semi-pro team in his town
needed a catcher badly. Its regular
backstop had been injured and Ban
sneaked out of the house to help his
friends. Everything was lovely until
a foul tip broke one of his fingers.
He joined the ranks of the voluntarily
retired players then and there.
