GETTING THE WORTH OF YOUR CLOTHES.
II is quite common and sensible custom with
many women and young girls to appropriate a
portion Of their summer and early autumn frocks
for indoor wear during the evenings through the
winter. OF course, not all houses are sufficiently
warm to permit OF lightweight clothing but
in many cases they are quite sufficient especially
when worn over slken slips.
A woman is very sure to look younger and gen
orally present more becoming appearance when
clad in thin trailing gown for house wear,
than dark one, or the everlasting skirt and
shirtwast which some women believe would be
a. dreadful sin to ever pprposely neglect
Some day we hope they will know better.

gagged in positions in which it is not
possible to marry. At the present time the To-
male population is in excess, and it is interesting
to inquire whether this condition of things is
ever likely to change.
Every woman should at least have chance OF
marriage; in the present circumstances, that is
not possible.
There are several factors at work to bring
about an alteration. To begin with, there is a
large and constantly-growing decline In infant
mortality. There are more boys than girls born
in this country, and if the, infant mortality can
be reduced to reasonable figure, the boys will
benefit and this of itself will in time make an
important difference
Another factor is the reluctance Of large
number Of girls 70 get married; they can earn
for themselves much money as many a pros
pective husband can earn for both, so they do
not find any attraction in matrimony, or to put
the matter more correctly, they find more at
traction IN single bleAsedness These girls are
not the excess female population as whole;
they form another percentage Of excess. One

PHILIPPINE BILL IS KILLED
senate Committee Refuses to Report
the Measure Either FavorabIy
UnfavOrabIy.

WASHINGTON, March BY a vote of
to the senate committee on the Philip
pines today defeated the Payne bill, which
had passed the house by vote of 25S to
Il. The action of the committee had been
forcshadowed for nearly a week, although
the exact vote had not been known. The
senators voting for the bill were: Lodge,
Beveridge Long, Carmack and McCleary.
The negative votes were: Hale, Burrows,
Dick. Nixon, Brandegee, Culberson, Dubois
and Stone.
After this decisive action had been taken
Mr.. McCreary moved that the bill be re-
ported to the senate adversely in order to
give the senate chance to consider it, Mr..
Brandegee moved to taele the motion and
this was carried by vote of to q, Mr.
Nixon voting with the minority on this
proposition. This action effectually dis
poses of the measure unless the chairman
of the committee should appeal to the sem
ate by resolution. This course is regarded
as unlikely.
Almost as soon as the committee was
called to order the motion was made to
report the bill and it was voted down as
stated. After McCreary's motion and Mr..
Brandegee's proposal that it should be
tabled Mr.. Lodge, the chairman, addressed
the committee. He said the course pro-
posed was unusual and there could be no
good purpose accomplished in preventing
the senate from reviewing the action of
the committee if it desired. The opponents
of the bill made no reply.
After the bill had been effectually dis
posed of Mr.. McCreary moved to report
his bill. which provided for free trade with
the Philippines Immediately. This motion
was lost, only four senators voting in the
affirmative. They were McCreary, Culber-
son, Carmack and Stone.
The Payne bill provides for the reduction
of duty on sugar, tobacco and rice inn
ported from the Philippines to 70 per
ccntum of the Dingley schedules and for
absolute free trade after three years.
