Declares School To Unique, Pract cal sad Has No Other Equal . Charles B. Stafford, manager of the Casper Chamber of Commerce, return- ed this morning from Madison, Wis., where for the two weeks he has been attending the suntmer school don” ducted by the American City Bureau for Cham! of Commerce men. Concerning the school Mr. Stafford says: “This school is unfque, there no other like it In the world. Fh established by the American City Bu- réau of New York in 1915; with efgh- teen students. This year there were approximately 250, coming from 35 states’ and fivé Canadian provinces. “Its purpose is that of alding exe utive officers of chanthers of commerce to meet the growing demands upon civi¢-commercial community organiga- tions like the modern type of chamber of commerce, and to develop the new profession of management of sucn bodies, Since the war there has been a widespread expansion of the activ- ities which is being filled with diffic- ulty, Certificates are issued by the school to: those who have completed the course. ~- “The school is a most practical one, taking up in detail methods of man- agement and special problems whie's confront the secretary in study groups and by means of lectures by authort- ties upon their subjects. The work is intensive, The delightful location of Madison adjoining a lake arid the use of the “fine fraternity houses of the University of Wisconsin made the visit to that ¢ity and attendance at the school an enjoyable experience.” Sam Wilson, Jack “Kneebone ana Jimmie Gheen, American City Bureau men, who were in Casper during the reorgtinization of the Chamber of Com- merce last spring, were all in’ attend- ance at the school, and were interested in what Casper is now accomplishing. MOTORIST NOT “HIT BY RATES Railroad Increases _ Emphasize Economy of Using Roads and Automobiles Economy of traveling by auto as com- pared with traveling on the railroads 4s gmphasized by the recently author- ized inerease of 20 per cent in rail- road passenger fares and 5Q.pey cent in, the cost of parlor and sleeping car ac- commodations. ‘The Increase in ecést if so marked, “Says. one tire company, that it will undoubtedly have an appre. ciable effect on’ the amount of motor travel the next year. Under the new schedule of passenger fares, it would cost a family of four $28.80 to make a trip of 200 miles. The same rip, if made in an automobile, would cost less-than half that amount. The gasoline bill would not run more than $5,and the wear on. tires, oil, and depreciation of the car would’ not ex- ceed another $5. The trip could be-made in aproxi- mately the same time by auto as. by train and with less inconvenience. There would be no trouble about get- ting to the; station on time, no por- ters to tip, and no bother about Iug- gage. Moreover, the party could stop as long as. desired at any*pretty plates along the way. These factors will be carefully con- sidered by persons who do considerable traveling, says the Diamond, and many cars will be bought and used the com- ing year by those who in the past ¢on- sidéred them only as a “luxury” for the well-to-do, The increase of 331-8 per cent in freight rates is also expected to stimu- late motor truck transportation, par- ticularly since the widespread con- struction of good roads is tending to eliminate one of the greatest obstadles to this form of transporting goods. The advantages of truck transportation are so many that a slight differen in cost will be disregarded. Says Anti-Gas Fan Was Good—For Fuel LONDON—(By Mail) — London is stil hearing about all those inventions whith would have ended the war in double-quick time, if only the war of- fice had wdopted them. The latest plaint comes from Myvs Ayrton, who declares many valuih lives were lost by war office stupidity in net using her anti-gas flapper fan. Major H. A. Sisson, of the Royal En- gineers, a gas expert, says that the fan was popular in the line principally ause its handle being made of wood, afforded valuable fuel. This is lid account of the official tost: “When Mrs. Ayrton’s) représenta- tives were In the experimental trench, | armed with their fans and ready to beat back the gas cloud which was to be Tet off against them, they all wore respirators. \ “Just before the attack it was sug. gested to their leader that he, would protiably be able to use his fam more freely If he took his respirator off.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24—Evening Sowns;of the Fall and Winter season seem to promise more scope for indl- viduality than the street and afternoon dresses which so dogmatically declare that slinkiness is absolutely the only silhouette, It is true that the swathed effect takes title role even in evening gowns, but there are a few exceptions. The very top-rotch evening gown—the sort that would be worn at a Blue Bird bat! if such a social event should happen all over again, is merely a very few yards of shiny material bound round and round the figure. Such # model of jet over a fitted un- sistance of a Fifth Avenue house whicn specializes in “clothes for after six.’ Complying with the vogue for some covering over the epidermis, the sleeves of this model are of sheer chiffon and even envelop the wrist. There is no back, but a long train atones for any seeming deficit. A novel note is given by the sash of tulle which floats over the hips and is caught in a wired bow as wide as the entire frock. The streua ers of this sash float to the floor. A corsage of deep-toned artificial roses is the only touch of color on the gown. }Shown of clectric blue the same shade of velvet.
