portunity to come in and question the
members of the executive committee.
Frequently they learn more regarding
than they before suspected. Very
often conference with the executive
committee convinces a candidate, espe-
clally before the primaries, that the
best thing for him to do is to retire
from the field, rather than have his
corrupt practices exposed.
For example,:
During the last campaign a certain
candidate in one of the wards came to
the league offices and asked the
leagues support. He gave references,
agreed to stand by every principle adj
vanced by the league, and brought
with him letters from prominent men
which indicated that he was a thor
oughly honest business man. Delega-
tons of citizens from his ward came
in to tho offices of the league to tell
of his good qualities. After gathering
all favorable information possible, the
league put it's Investigators to work,
and discovered that this man had been
discharged in bankruptcy without
scheduling actual assets, and after
clearing himself of all Indebtedness
had reestablished himself in pros
porous business as the result of de-
frauding his creditors. 1t was also de-
veloped that he had been indicted for
arson some years before, that he had
been mixed up in several shady pub
lie and private transactions, and was
in politics for revenue only. He was
told that the best thing for him to do
WAS to retire, and after having admit
ted the truthfulness of all the infor-
mat:o1, presented to him he did re-
tire, and I. clean, honest and capable
man was elected from the ward he
sought to represent.
The strength of the league lies in
the fact that it is Independent of

The bodice has a sailor waist effect
with a deep collar bordered with the
plain delaine, and a wide girdle OF
the same. The sleeves are plain be-
low and above the elbow, with a full
putting at the elbow.
A dainty afternoon dress for a
miss of about the same age is of
white muslin. 1t is trimmed with fine
lace insertion. The skirt has tiny
tucks about four inches long over the
hips and is tucked at the back from
the waist to the bottom. There is a
plating around the skirt just below
the knees, with three very narrow
plaitings to finish the bottom, headed
with the lace insertion, which also
heads the wide plating above. 1t has
slightly full blouse which is tucked
in clusters with insertion between,
this forming V in the back and
front. The elbow sleeves have a V
finish on the top. The girdle is of
three velvet bands, with rosettes at
one side.
A charming evening dress for a
young miss is of soft silk in pale
pink. The skirt is tucked at the
back, and has two narrow ruffles at

Mr.. E. A. Potter, president of the
American trust and savings bank, is
the treasurer of the league.
The executive committee includes the
officers of the league in its member
ship, which is nine. There is also an
advisory committee and finance COM
mittee. The danger of personal pref
erence on behalf of any candidate is
avoided by the rule which prevents any
expression of the league being issued
except Shy order of the executive COM
mittee.' AS this committee is COM
posed of members of both political
parties, the likelihood of favoritism is
avoided, and the public is assured that
it's recommendations are always nom
partisan.
Since the establishment of the sue
cessful work of the league in Chicago
voters in other cities desiring to Sc
cure release from partisan municipal
control and corrupt public officials
have written to it's officers asking for
information which would enable them
to perfect an organization along sim
liar lines.

is about a mile wide, though the dam,
with its approaches, is a mile and a
quarter. The great openings in the
masonry are the sluices through
which the Nile will rush at flood time
in future years. There are $50 of
these suices. The dimensions of 40
of them are "a feet high by 61a wide.
Work has progressed more rapidly
at the eastern than at the western end
of the great dam. At the eastern end
all the foundations are in; all the
channels were long ago closed; and,
except in depth of foundation, there
is little difference between the dam
construction over channel or over islet.
There is one difference, however. The
sluices over the higher levels-that is
to say where the highest parts of the
islets were-are not so large as the
great lower sluices. There are 40 Of
these high-level sluices, and their di-
mansions are IL feet by 6. They are
placed at a higher level in the dam,
chiefly for purposes of regulating the

Botzling MP The Waters
of The NILE RIVER
England Is Constructing the Greatest Irrigation
System in the World for Egypt

GONE 700 years before the birth of
- Christ the old Israelite prophet
Isaiah prophesied that men would
in time to come cross the bed of the
Nile river dry shod. That there would
be constructed across that stream a
highway for the remnant of his chosen
people, and that then they would be
recovered from the four corners of the
earth and again gathered together. 1t
is prophecy on which still hinges
much of the faith of the Israelites.
Is England assisting it's fulfllment?
Way up the Nile river at Assouan,
where the waters of the Nile pour over
the first cataract, England is building
a mighty dam, and inaugurating one of
the greatest irrigation plants known
in the world. So far has the work
progressed that men have already
walked across the bed of the river dry
shod, as Isaiah said they would. The
illustration accompanying this article,
which was made from photograph,
proves this fact. Across the top of this

Some of the most worthy men of the
city are now in the council, and al
though there is more or less strong
minority of gangsters in evidence, the
standards of honor. efficiency and gen.
eral municipal ideas are winning in
the fight for supremacy.
The result of the election this year
was surprise to the political bosses
of both parties. The brazen impu-
dence of partisan dictators, who trad
ed nominations for the benefit of
themselves, was rebuked, and candi-
dates for the city legislature whose
regulations were notorious were for
the most part defeated, enabling the
council to be organized on a nonpar-
tisan basis in the best interests of the
city.
This local development is actually
due, in large measure, to the Munich
pal Voters league, an organization of
citizens of all parties which is devoted
to laborious Investigations and fear
less reports of the personal record of
all candidates for aldermanic honors.
In this letter, owing to lack of space,
but little may be said of the origin of
the league, it's manner of communica-
ton to the voters through the public
press and it's final report of facts
which enable voters to form their own
conclusions.
The campaign methods of the league
are unique. 1t assumes that char

simple lines and light fluffy muslins
with lace are in vogue. Summer silks
in shepherd checks and stripes are
also quite the thing. They are
trimmed with lace, narrow ribbon,
baby velvet or the fancy ribbons. For
wash materials there are French ging-
hams, madras, percales, lawns and
organizes, in checks, stripes and fig
ured grounds. The plain colors are
greatly favored. Lightweight cloth
materials for outing suits are cash
meres, French fannels, nuns yelling,
delaines and serges. These dainty ma
terials are made up in sailor suits,

Methods Of the Municipal
Voters League Of CHICAGO


To the non-partisan labors of the Mu..
nicipal Voters league must be credited
much of the successful efforts at reform
in Chicago municipal politics at the recent
election. By hard, conscientious work the
league prevented the election of gang
city council that would have played havoc
with the city franchises during the next
two years, and instead put into office a
to practically assure a just and honest
settlement of the franchise questions now
pending. How this result was obtained
Mr.. Henry Barrett Chamberlin, the as
sistant secretary of the league, gives an
insight into the methods of the organiza-
tion.-Editor.
