Name of Clothes,

Funny, isn't it," said the observSnt
woman, how our clothes are named.
In some of them there is a sort of pre-
tense that may please others, but IT
seems absurd to me. For instance,
have had a woman show me coat
and tell me how fine it would be for
driving when neither nor one In q
hundred of her customers would ever
get into a carriage. Then the motor
wells! Just see how every woman
PUSHES to get them. I suppose they
will be selling thousands of aviation
hats next. But If you don't realize
how our clothes are named and the
foolishness of 1t, just consider that at
the same time a woman may wear q
so-called tennis blouse, sailor collar,
walking shoes, a riding hat, motor
veil, a trotting skirt. a golf vest and 3
driving coat. And in spite Of the com.
plexity of sports she wouldn't look
particularly incongrouous, either"

Washington. D. c., April 16.--To close

the world the greatest battleship fleet
ever assembled under any flag is the
ambition of President Taft and his
naval chief, Secretary Meyer.
The program, which has just been
announced. becomes operative July l..
this year. BY 1912 the plans will have
eliminated. and the fleet Will begin a
trip around the world which will over
shadow that which the sixteen battle
ships made at the close of Roosevelt's
administration.
Protection of the Pacific Coast and
of our Far East possessions is pro-
vided for in the program. If Congress
allows the administration a free hand
and acts upon the recommendations Of
the President and Secretary of War, by
1918 there will be a fleet on the Pacific
