Velvet Trousers In London
For Women Are The Vogu<
Freakish fashions are making their
advent in London this fall, accord
' lng to the following authoritive ar
ticle written (or International News
Service by "Corlsande," noted Eng
lish fashion writer. Among tl»era
aire black velvet trousers, the "bol
ster," and the use of aeroplane silk
Cor evening gowns.
[ London, Not. 18.—Beauty may
: now wear black velvet trousers In
stead of an ordinary evening skirt
Probably the dresa critics will not
approve, and for the present, at any
rate, the velvet trousers will most
likely appear only in tho home.
StiH, it has come, so there's no
knowing when it may make its pub
lic appeATiince.
It made its debut In Albermarle
street, whore Miss Elspeth Phelps
was showing Autumn fashions, and
far as grace and line are concerned
the feminine version of the trousers
is far ahead of that worn by ordi
nary man.
There is a puff. too. Just above the
Knee and another below it that stops
short a few inches above the aukle
and the black velvet model seen was
topped by a jumper of rose-colored
velvet, embroidered In gold and sil
ver thread and hemmed with dark
[ fur.
The general result was somewhat
suggestive of a "Little Princess in
the Tower" toilette, but the wearer
at least, carried It off very well.
' There are other sensations in the
dress world to be recorded. One is

the use of aeroplane silk (or .smart
gowns—one of the minor and quite
unforseen results ot the war.
This was dyed yellw used to,
make a tea gown, the surface of

Then, again, there is the fashion,
of. wearing a minoature holster
round what is called by courtesy,
the waistline. Ttye effect can be ar
rived at in a variety of ways, gen
erally by twisting a length ot the,
dress material to the required thick-,
neas. To be correct a sort of holster,
diadem of velvet or tissue should be
worn as a headdress.
Another novelty is reversible vel
our. On one side it shaws the wool
en surface of the material so popular
for coats and sk\rts, but the reverse
is shot satin, and so the use of ex
tra material for collar and cuffs is
unnecessary.

Soviet Is Now Collecting The
: Grain Tax For Coming Year
Moscow, Nov. 20.—-.In Russia, al
ready the grain tax for next year is
being collected. In the Causasus and
in other southern districts the tax
has been fully paid, and from tho
[ province of Tula, which has. a spec
| ial order for seed with which to
j Flr.nt the winter rye, the whole
amount had been sent out before,
the date fixed.
Although the peiscnt objects to
taxes in kind the government has re
fused to accept the grain tax in any
thing else. The ouly exception is
payment in the Bread Loan Bonds
which were issued last spring, when
the government was badly in need
of funds.
In the case of the stock tax, how
ever, the government has modified
its rule. The cattle tax this year
need not be paid in meat. It may
bo paid in g^.in or in Soviet rubles.
The Bread Loan Bonds amount to
' only 10,000,000 poods of rye, and
these are held chiefly by the city
workers. Tho face value of the
bonds is equivalent to 10,000,000
gold rubles, but the workers brought
' them at 95. They will be redeem
| ed in rye in December and January.
I Hcd the harvest failed the govern
ment had promised tq redeem them
In gold.
But the harvest has not failed. It
Is a fair harvest, and the tax is light
er this year, so that the peasants
are much placated. Furthermore, as
the, tax is laid to encourage wider
planting the peasants are plowing a
greater area this fall.
A. P. Smirnoff, member of the
College of the People's Commis
sariat of Food Supply, gives out the
apportionment of the grain tax in
the seven tax districts as follows:
1. Northern Caucasus, including Don
Kuban and the small Caucasian re
publics forty-one million poods; 2.
Eight Central governments, includ
ing Tambouv, Tula, Penza and
Kursk, 105 million poods: 3. Elev
en governments, including Niziiney,
Novgorod, Smolensk and White Rus
sia, sixty-three million poods; •!. Si
beria, thirty-five million poodn; 5.
District Including Moscow and Pet
rograd, twenty million; 6.Khirghez,
nine million poods; 7. Crimea, As
trakhan, Samarr., SaratofE and Sin)
birk—:the famine district—twenty
two million poods.
The. entire tax is due before De

MINE BUREAU Hl'NTIXG
FOR RARE METALS
•Vn intensive search for rare metals
I in the United States has bean begun
by the Bureau of Mines.
Although the mineral resources
of the United States ure not sur
passed by those of any other coun
try, officials of the bureau declared, j
it is neverthless true that certain J
needed minerals exist in this coun- j
try in inadequate amounts, or. are,
almost entirely lacking.
"Future exploration." it was
stated, would disclose supplies of
some of these minerals, but proba
bly will not, as the known geologi
cal conditions lead to the belief that
they will not be found.
"However, no chances are being
taken that such deposits be over
looked, and so the rare and precious
metals experiment station of the
bureau at Reno, Nev., has under
taken, as one of its principal func
tions. the discovery, thru samples
which are sent In to it, of new
sources of supply of those rare me
tals which have ne\er been found in
large quantities in the United, States.
A special effort is being made by
the station to discover sources of ,
platinum, nickel, tin, vanadium,
tungsten, cobalt, antimony, chromlle ,
and zirconium.

Colds Affect The
Kidneys
Many Skngway People Have Found
This to bp True.
Are you wretched in bad weath
er?
Does every cold settle on your
kidneys?
Does your back ache and become
weak ?
Are urinary passages Irregular
and distressing?
These symptoms are cause to sus
pect kidney weakness.
Weakened kidneys need quick
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
Grateful people recommend them.
J. L. Messersmith, blacksmith,
700 E. Webb St., Pendleton! Oregon,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are my
old standby. Whenever I caught
cold in my kidneys It caused my
back to ache ar.d I suffered with
complaint. At times when I stooped
over, sharp pains caught be in tiie
small of my back and I had to raise
up slowly. My kidneys acted too
frequently, causing me to get up
many times during the night. Doan's
Kidney Pills quickly banished the
backache and put my kidneys in
good condition. I still keep Doan's
on hand to use in case of necessity."
