This is chem­ istry. Germany, capital of the world of- chemistry, is not only temporar­ ily isolated but its huge manufactur­ ing plants and its scientnfic laborator­ ies seem destined to remain idle for some time. It is clnsidered probable that German science, requiring as it does a large investment without pos­ sibility of Immediate financial re­ turn, will take years to regain its former position of world s pre-emi­ nence. « At this critical moment the United States takes an important step for­ ward in chemistry. This is the erec­ tion of the ne* chemical 'laboratory at the University of Ilinois. The cor­ nerstone of the elaborate building has Just been laid. The building, when completed, will be five stories in height and will cover ground space more than 200 feet square. It is on the university campus at Urbana (Champaign). t When the original chemical lab­ oratory was built at the university there were 238 students in jthat de­ partment and ten instructors. This fall there are 1,500 students and 54 Instructors. The announcement of the new lab­ oratory just Issued by the University of Illinois, says: "This increase In the service ren­ dered by the department. In part, 4s merely parallel with the growth of the university during the same period. It Is also, however, a result of the grow­ ing realization of the importance of some knowledge of chemistry as a basis for work in almost any field of science, agriculture or engineering. In still greater degree it is connected with the very rapid development of Industrial chemistry and of chemical engineering in America during the last decade. Scores of establish­ ments which would never have thought of employing a chemist fif­ teen or twenty years ago now -find that men thoroughly trained in this line of work are indispensable for their success. As a result of this de­ mand there are 200 men now at the university training themselves to fol­ low chemistry as a profession. 'The war in Europe has called the' attention of the public to our de­ pendence on Germany for many kinds of chemical products. This will un­ doubtedly prove a great stimulus to many lines of manufacture in which we are deficient, and this, in turn, will create an increased demand for chemists. The increased facilities which the addition will afford will make it possible for the University of Illinois to do its full share in sup­ plying the demand." Women Gather in Mount Vernon.

BE LARGELY U8ED FOR FALL C08TUMES. Street and Afternoon Frocks in All the Fashionable Shades Already Are Seen--Model Designed for Royal Blue. Because the manufacturers have made for us a beautifully heavy and lustrous taffeta we are allowed to have It for a fall dress fabric, as well as a summer one, and as it lends itself so readily to the designs and styles of the season needless to say we are all glad of Its Iturther lease on life. These new taffetas resemble some­ what a very fine twilled grosgraln, but have much mor£ body. They are to be had in all the fashionable shades, and are being made up exten­ sively in street and afternoon cos­ tumes. Here illuritated is a charming cos­ tume in royal blue taffeta worn with fox furs dyed a delicate sulphur color and a jaunty chapeau in blue vel­ vet with yellow tinged feather fan­ tasies. The blouse is plain and* surpliced over a tiny vest of white batiste, with a flaring collar and small lapels of batiste twined back from the V neck. Long sleeves are set smoothly into ex­ tended armholes. and are covered with a heavily embroidered black silk net, then finished with turned-back white cuffs. The ornate net is applied to the bor­ der of the tunic skirt and makes a very handsome trimming. It will be noticed that the tunic is gathered to a hip yoke under a self-covered cording, Attractive and Novel Trimming Is Here Employed. but the yoke in turn is gathered, too, and the result is very graceful. A broad girdle is cut out in square tabs about the top and along the line of fastening. The idea is repeated in the skirt placket to bring the closing' in perfect alignment. j If desired1, the sleeves and lower portion of the tunic can be made trans­ parent by cutting, the dress material from under them, but in that case the design could no longer answer the pur­ poses of a street costume.--Lillian Young, in Washington Star. GOOD ADVICE FOR MATRON Style Tips Woman of Middle Age Should Remember if 8he Would 4_ook Her Best. Don't think that, just because you have grownup daughters, it is your duty to always wear a frumpy black dress. Your daughters and everyone else will like you much better if you take pains to make yourself look nice. If you have too much color, as some matrons have, never wear either blhck or white close to your face, Cream or striirg-color, or mole, will buit you much better, for they help toMaie down the color. If you are colorless and sallow, never wear a duii dress and hat with­ out a touch of brightness somewhere. A red rose under the brim of your hat, a ecarlet sunshade, or a little flame-cc^br&i^bow or piping on your dress will d6 wonders for you. Don't wear a sport shirt with a turn-over collar and sailor-knot tie. These things are very nice for girls, but they don't suit you. If you want a shirt, have one that hooks down the IMPROVING SHAPE OF MOUTH Much May Be Done If Only the Atten­ tion Paid to the Matter la Constant. In bygone days, it is said, a noted belle used to stand in the hall before she entered the drawing room and re­ peat: "Peas, papas, prunes and prisms," letting her lips fall lightly on each word. Then when she entered the crowded reception or ballroom she was quite sure a sweet expression dwelt In the corners of her pretty mouth. One Hiay improve the shape of her mouth by not allowing the muscles at each side to sag. Massage them nightly, with a good cold cream, al­ ways working the rotary movement up toward the nose. Then whon the face is washed with hot water al­ ways follow it by cold, which will tighten the muscles. Olive oil or cow's cream massaged into the maath wrinkles will aid in plumping out hol­ lows. A few drops of benzoin should be added to the olive oil so that it back and is finished by a nteckband and a little muslin stock. Don't wear a hair net it yon can possibly manage to keep tidy without it. They are dreadfully unbecoming tbingB, which add years to a woman's age. ADORMMENT FOR TEA TABLE Cory Suitable for Practically Ail Oc­ casions May Be Easily and Cheaply Made. A cozy, as illustrated in the sketch, will be found most useful and suitable for almost every occasion. It is very simply made, for the covering consists of two pretty paper serviettes. A foundation Is necessary; cozy pads can be had in all shapes, sizes and colors. Select serviettes that fit as neatly aB possible over the pad in question, an odd pad or cozy can be covered quite well, so that the Idea is an ex­ cellent one for renovating old cozies at practically no expense. Select the serviettes as desired. It is a good plan to choose those that are near to the tea service in coloring and de­ sign. Do one side at a time; care­ fully fix the serviette over and tack in place. The other side is done in the same manner; if there is too much left at the bottom of the pad to turn under, cut a portion off. To give a cosy a finished look, put a cord around it and alBo around the bottom. This cord can also be of paper or a silk cord, according to the choice of the worker; If paper is decided upon, it may be bought by the yard at any fancy shop where paper novelties are sold. The cozy now has a very pretty ap­ pearance; it will be found to last for a long time and when the covering Is soiled, fresh ones can be easily put on. It Is useful for many purposes for which the best cozy is not suitable, Buch as nursery teas, children's par­ ties, etc. For party use generally, the idea will be found most useful; there is then no fear of a good cozy getting spoiled and the paper one can look most effective if the serviettes are chosen with a view to the particular occasion, for all kinds of designs are to be had. WILL PLEASE A B00KL0VER Attractive and Inexpensive Gift That 8erves Its Purpose to Perfection. An attractive and very inexpensive gift that is suitable either for a young person or for an adult is a bookmark embroidered with the name of the per­ son for whom it 1b Intended. Either wide or narrow ribbon can be used in making the bookmark and with the aid of papier mache initials which can be purchased in almost any store where embroidery materials are sold-- even a young girl can make a really handsome one. If the ribbon is wide, as illustrated in the drawing, t&e ini­ tials should be larger than where nar­ row ribbon is UBed. It is not desirable, however, to place a- thiclt bookmark in an expensive book and for thiB rea­ son many booklovers prefer a long, narrow ribbon marked with small ini- tials at one end where they will never be shut inside the book. Such a marker can be made from satin rib­ bon one Inch wide, the length being from nine to twelve inches. This will HM cost from five to eight cents. Three small papier mache initials will cost five centB, and a skein of embroidery floss will cost four eents. Arrange the initials on the ribbon and baste them. Good floss on white satin ribbon Is very effective. Fringe the ends of the ribbon. Very Short Skirts. In the new Bechoff-David models, which an enterprising buyer was for- tunate enough to get to America, the skirts are decidedly short, and a striking feature.of them is that in the evening frt^cks there are many trains hanging from very short skirts. Some­ times the sktrt slopes gradually from the short front to the end of the long train: sometime^ the long, pointed train bangs from a skirt that is short all the way around. The effect is aovel. will not darken the skin. Keep thp circulation good and the lips will be red. Also keep the teeth in good con­ dition, for If the set is not complete hollows will appear in the cheeks. And use the lips--singing, whistling, blowing soap bubbles and laughing-- particularly the latter. New Velvet Hats. The woman who dresses well will no longer wear a black velvet hat made on the recent lines. Panne vel­ vet of a very supple quality and satin will be UBed for fall and winter hats.

When people realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are usually glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. "My mother, since her early child hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a niimber of years and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making a visit to a distant part .of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat unusual flavour of the 'cof­ fee' and asked him concerning it He replied that It was Postum. "I was so pleased with It that, after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased With it that we discontinued coffee and used Poetum entirely. "I had really been at <imes very anxious concerning my mother's con- ' dltion, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to\its use, and had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was well and heafty. » , "I know Postum has benefited my- j celf and the other iiicmLoia or fjurv lly, but not in so marked a degree &s In the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing."
