OF COLOR
TO ALL-WHITE FROCKs


A pretty touch of color is given to
an all-white frock by having the belt,
necktie and wrist bag of cretonne in
gayly fiowered pattern.
The girdle should be quite wide,
measuring almost six inches, and
crushed about the figure-the lining
of china silk increasing the soft eff
feet.
In front there is a large buckle of
white or smoked pearl through which
the ends pull.
The tie is a narrow four-in-hand,
and the bag is as large or small as
the fancy dictates. Line with silk
to match the dominant color in the
cretone.

WOULD GUST CANNON
FROM RULES COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, Jan. -Representative
Fowler OF New Jersey, one OF the House
insurgents, introduced a resolution late
to-day adding five members OF the rules
committee. giving the ma Jority six MEM
bcrs and the minority three and reInov-
ing the speg ker from 90 committee. The
resolution was referred 20 the rules com
mittee. Speaking Of his resolution, Mr..
Fowler said:
1t is now time that we should take
another step toward the restoration of
representative government in the House
of Representatives and that step is to
remove the speaker of the House from
the committee on rules. The liouse re-
solution, which have introduced to-
day. has for its object the broadening
of tie committee on rules and the ex-
clusion hereafter Of the speaker Of the
House from that committee.
In my Judgment. this resolution ex-
presses the clear and undoubted wish OF
the people, and the new well settled opin-
ion Of the country. Not to move for
ward to this advanced position would dis
close either a want of intelligence or a
lack of courage on the part Of the repub-
lican party.

charges were made against Mr.. Bal

along in his narrative. There was op-
portunity however, to draw some con-
clusions as To the preliminary line up
Of the committee.
In his enthusiasm over the actual he
ginning Of the inquiry, the special coun-
sci for CLAWS. Louis u. Brandeis OF
Boston. had some difficulty in reducing
his statement to IA brief recital OF the
charges but finally ne summed up tho
case for the prosecution" In this way:
