Who puts "jokers" into bills? With
THURSDAY EVENING, AUG.

WHO puts "jokers" into bills? With
all the committees on enrolled bills and
committees on engrossed bills, and
committees on the various branches OF
the public service, which prepare tn
bills and carry them through their re-
spective branches of Congress, how Is
it that "jokers" are not discovered IN
til the bills get to the White House,
and often not until the president has
signed them? asks the Philadelphia
Record. Besides the Indian lands con-
cerned in the Gore charges there are
lands affected by twenty thousand IN
diyidual contracts, the right to which
has been settled by the courts. The
Circuit Court OF Appeals has decided
the cases in favor OF the government.
When the Indian appropriation bill
reached the president, Solicitor General
Bowers discovered init-these jokers'
always creep into appropriation bills
a provision allowing the holders OF the
lands to take an appeal from the Cir
cult Court of Appeals to the Supreme
Court. The theory is that they had no
expectation OF disputng the decision
but hoped to get another year or two
of occupation OF the lands, and they
are working night and day to strip
them OF oil and minerals. 1t was too,
late to send the bill back for correction
and the president signed it, buta re-
ceiyer for the lands will be appointed,
and thus their exploitation during the
interim will be prevented. Again the
Record asks: When did that Joker"
get into the bill? Who put it in? How
did it happen that no one discovered it
till it reached the White House?

The Crippen Case.

London, Aug. 11.-After Il five
hours examination OF the evidence
that will be submitted when the coro-
ner's investigation into the supposed
murder of Belle Elmore Crippen is
resumed, experts have decided, accord
ing to a statement by the Press AS
ISOLATION today, that the body now
being held ut the coroncr's Office is
that OF a woman and that she had
undergone an operation before death.
This conclusion is in keeping with
the statement cabled the London
Chronicle by its Quebec correspondent
last week, that Crippen had intimated
to the authorities that his wife died
from the effects of an operation which
he performed on her.
The experts found nothing in the
evidence to disclose the identity Of the
body, and the belief is growing that
the identity can never be established
without confession from DIR. H. H.
Crippen, the husband OF Belle Emorc
Crippen, who with Ethel Clare Leneve,
his typist, is under arrest in Quebec.

A DRESS FORM MADE TIP
AT. HOME

IN HE girl who makes her own
clothes is ever in a state Of utter
despair when Il comes to getting
them fitted properly. Now. much has
=. been written and said about fixing
up dress forms, but not enough.
To begin with, take your hip and
p bust measurements. Then buy a form,
which costs about so or so cents.
This you want more for a foundation
than for its shape in itself: for, can
oioiy. their shape is their own and no
more like that Of a mortal being than
man is like the moon. In buying, get
according 10 hip measure; and do not
buy one the hip measure Of which is
" larger than your own, unless It is the
smallest size made, getting from one
. half inch to one inch smaller Al
ways bear in mind that you can fill
out easier than you can cut out
In taking your hip measure, draw
the tape around the very largest part
Of your body. which should be from
ten to twelve inches below the waist
line. or about where the placket
would end
Now have a tight-ftted basque lin
ing made: don't mind how many seams
II has, and see that il fits you Just so
from your neck down TO the point
above mentioned. Carry the shoulder
line out TO the very edge of the arm,
and, Il possible, have it made over a
new corset and fitted over as few
clothes as possible in the way Of
underslirts, etc
= After you have your basque fitted
and the seams sewed up with very
small machine stitch, proceed to fit it
over your form. Nine cases out Of
ten it will be far lit, but that
doesn't matter. BY the time you have
6nished filing in you are liable to
find that the neck line Of your new
. form viii be about two inches above
fhat Of the foundation form. and the
same way with the waist line. In
adjusting this lining, use the bust line
of the form as a guide Buy about
two rolls OF padding cotton, which
costs about cents a roll. You NAV
not need that much; you may need
more Now commence to fill in, not
IN big pieces. but IN little bits. so
that your lines will be smooth. mack

Long Coats

A NOTABLE innovation this sum-

The principal materials are foulard,
pongee and tussah, with a sprinkling of
linen and very lightweight cloths.
These coats are cuz straight, without
any curve at the waist. They fit tight
ly about the shoulders, however, and do
not give at all a kimono effect. They
are narrow about the bottom. having no
flare. The fullness is gathered instead
into a strap Or a wide band. or the coat
is cut at the knees and a straight
flounce added.
Many Of Them have square or round
sailor collars. some of them long CROUCH

have very long reyers also. but he

pressed in words, not only for fitting.
but for draping and designing waists.
Now for the girl whose hip measure
runs smaller than the smallest form
sold; the writer will tell what she did
with one for herself. 1t was about an
lnch too large, and when it came to
hitting skirts, was absolutely no good.
The largest bumps seemed to come on
the side; SO with a saw I cut out a
long V-shaped piece, about a half inch
at the bottom and taperine I'D to
about four inches. A piece like this
was cut from each side. As these
forms are made of pressed paper. it
was hard to fix on how to fasten the
parts together, so I took three pieces
OF narrow tape, about four or FIVE
inches long, and with pins pulled the
parts together and pinned the tapes
over. running the pins toward the
cut. right into the form. Now. if YOU
should be rather fat in the back and
large at the side, the same method
might be tried in the back, only be
careful how you cut, measuring care
fully before. When you fit your lin
ing, you could I'LL out any little cavi-
ties that might arise from the cut
ting.
In fastening the lining around the
bottom, use pins, as the paper is too
soft TO take tacks. and it would be
an utter impossibility to sew.
Use very good, closely woven lin
ing material for your basque.
To those who must cut the form to
meet measurements, great care must
be taken when the form is being ad-
