When 1t was announced in Paris that
fashion leaders had sanctioned the re-
vival of sashes every girl who had an
heirloom In the shape of an old en-
broidered sash congratulated herself,
but, alas, while we are to have sashes
1t Is with difference" The new
sashes fasten snugly around the waist
while the sash ends fall In all sorts
Of elaborate bows and folds. Some
sashes are cut with double streamers
like the one in the picture, which is
of lowered ribbon and lace fringed
with silk tassels.
The new sash Is quite as intricate
as the jabot and needs the same train
ed hand to give 1t the proper finish.
Sash and girdle arrangements are Of
many kinds. Big bows and long. wide
scarf ends of black malines appear on
some Of the light hued models. The
new velvet with taffeta back In color
is effectively used for sash effects, q
wide end in two loops lying fat, one
over the other, but Of different lengths,
being a popular method Of using the
velvet ribbon or satin. This gives
much the effect Of the detached skirt
panel and breaks the tight skirt line in
the back without introducing any odd
fancy,

TIMELY ADVICE TO WOMEN.

Each Makers of Own Position, Says
-..... Mrs. M. c. lawton.
What Our Young Women Owe b
Themselves" was the subject Of z
most interesting and instructive adj
dress delivered by Mrs. M. G. Lawton
to the members and visitors at a meet
ing of the Lexington avenue branch Of
the Young Women's Christian associs-
ton in Brooklyn recently.
Mrs. Lawton spoke in part as follows:
In a great city like this, with it's teem.
Ing millions Of inhabitants, composed, q
1t Is. Of every nationality. every kindred,
tongue and tribe. there must naturally
arise various conditions for our immedi-
ate consideration. The constant influx
from all parts Of the world to this. the
metropolis Of the United States the eves
increasing demand for efficient service,
fronts the working girl Of the colore0
race. give rise to a problem whose COM
plexity Is almost insoluble. Although In
situations for the advancement and pro-
motion Of our girls have been established
through which thousands of them have
been saved to the race and to the glory
Of womanhood, there are still phases Of
this situation, discouraging though they
may be. that must be reckoned with. Al
long as time lasts there will be working
girls but just what position they win 90
cupy they alone must determine.
1t Is evident. however that their value
will increase in proportion to the cfi1cion-
cy Of their efforts. and their position or
rank will be computed according to the
dignity they inject into their character.
Nobody is going to rate y u higher than
% IL
estimate on yourselves others will do like
wise. but II you feel yourselves the equal
of those filling the same position you will
be rated accordingly. Now, what IL the
cause of this lack Of confidence? 1t Is due
to the fact that you have not made the
necessary preparation for your life's work.
Working people are the bone and sinew
Of every race. Degradation comes not In
the kind Of labor you perform, but the
quality Of service you give.
Live in an atmosphere Of self respect
whether you are accorded those rights
which others enjoy or not. Be honest, con-
scientious and upright In your dealings
with your fellow man. The peace of con.
science you will enjoy will repay you for
the effort you forth. and, besides. this
course Is the first step toward union. to-
ward organization. both ofswfich are alb.
solutely Indispensable to racial progress
and advancement. We are living In tho
formative. constructive or historic period
Of our race We have Just about cleared
the forest and begun the foundation upon
which future generations Of our race must
build the superstructure. Those Of Us
who are thus engaged are the brick ma
sons. stonecutters. hodcarriers. carpen-
tiers, ETC.. In the erection Of this racial
structure, and our work must be well
done II 1t is to stand the storms Of antag-
onism, the cyclonic winds of prejudice
and the thunderbolts Of injustice which
will attack us.

Made From towels.

A simple and useful combing jacket
or peignoir may be made from good
large towel. Divide It into four even
parts. cut off two of these parts near
est the ends and sew them at right
angles to the central portion. Sew
tape where the pieces join to tie the
peignoir on.
From three crash dish towels you
can make sewing apron. turning up
the bottom and stitching II into pock-
cts. Ribbon strings complete the apron.
A large embroidered towel will make
a good bureau cover for summer. A
line of drawn work will add to the ap-
pearance Of a plain or used for the

STOREY AND WILLARD ON
RACE DISCRIMINATION.
Wave Of Color Hysteria Sweeping
Country. Says Noted Pubiicist.

In his address opening the recent
meeting Of the National Association
For the Advancement of COlored PeO-
pie. held in Park Street church, Bos-
ton. Hon. Moorfeld Storey. who was
reelected president of the organiza-
ton. said:
Forty-fve years ago the people Of the
United States were brought face to face
with perhaps the most serious problem In
our national history--the converting Of
100000 Negro slaves into citizens.
At this problem the people have since
been working, and II Is still far from set
tied. The constitutional amendments were
believed to have placed the rights Of the
Negro beyond question. but now. while
the race has prospered beyond expccta-
and even In the north a race prejudice has
gained strength until men look down upon
their fellows as II II were a virtue to en-
barrass and injure them.
This condition must not endure, and II
10 the duty Of every citizen to see that the
colored people have Justice and kindness.
1t Is necessary that they should be given
their full rights as citizens Of the United
States and that their right to vote should
that they should be protected In the en-
joyment Of their property and the fruits
Of their labor. that they should be insured
Justice In the courts and that they should
be defended against outrage and brutality
Of every kind. n.
Speaking along the same line Of
thought. Mr.. Oswald Garrison Willard
said: .-.. Lie.
There can be no doubt that wave Of
color hysteria Is sweeping over the coun-
try. The road Of the aspiring colored man
or woman becomes more and more dim
cult. He is abused for his low associa-
lions. Let him seek to rise above them,
and what happens? Despite the fact that
~ he has for years been told that IL he ac-
quires property and buys himself house
all will be well with him and his family.
II he does so In a section Of a city. wheth-
or II be New York. Seattle. Baltimore or
Richmond. In which he may assure to his
children good associations. pure air and
clean streets. he IL assaiied as II his pres
ence there meant the bringing in Of q faint
worse than ieprosy, and the laws are IN
vOked against him.

Dakota. at the meeting of the nation
al association of railroad commion-
ers in Washington Monday, favoring
legislation for the abolition of ex-

ported the resolution favorably, but

could not commit itself to SO radical
a recommendation without further
Informing itself on the subject. An
other resolution, offered by Mr.. Rice.
declaring that owners of express
stock should not own stock in com
peting express companies, was de-
feated by vote of SO to 10. Mr. Nj Rice

PENSIONS AND PENSIONERS

A saving, estimated at $1,000, 900
annually to the pensioners of the
United States and eventually about
about $1sO,000 a year to the govern
ment, is contemplated bya simplified
plan for the payment of pensions
without vouchers which Commission
of Pensions j. l.. Davenport sub
mitted to the secretary of the inter-
ior in his annual report. During the
year $157 1925, 100 was paid as pensions,
decrease of So, ,49s, 154 from last year,
making the total amount paid in pen
sions since the foundation of the
government, 81 ,23O 3s1, ,730.
The last pensioner of the revolu-
tionary war, Mrs. Phobe M. Palmet-
ter. daughter of Jonathan Wooley,
vino served III New Hampshire com
pany, died at Bloomfield, N. Y,
April 25, 1911, aged 80 years.
Mrs. Britannia w. Kennon Of
Washington, D. c., a great grand
daughter of Martha Washington, and
who died during the year, drew a
pension as widow longer probably
than any other person in the history
of the pension office, having received
$50 a month almost sixty seven years
Mrs. Kennon was the widow of the
captain of the U. S. S. Princeton,
who was killed February 2S, 1914 by
the bursting of a cannon on that yes
sci, on which occasion two members
of President Tyler's cabinet were
killed.

EVIDENCE is LACKING

Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wis
consln, is making much better
showing in the senatorial probe of
his last election than did Senator
William Lorimer of Illinois in the
investigation of his election. So far.
the witnesses for the prosecution,
IN the Stephenson investigation have
given no direct, convincing, first
hand testimony. In every instance
the evidence given has consisted al
most wholly of vague surmises, or
repetition of gossip. The testimony
so FAR given would not convict the
aged Wisconsin senator in a court
OF law, and will scarcely convict him
before the investigating committee.

MAJORITY VOTE WINS

A statement, carried by the Associ.
ated Press, gave it out a few days
ago, reporting the election IN Cali
fornia, that the proposed amendments
required a two-third vote, This is
erroneous. All amendments requir
ed only a majority vote and there
fore eqsal suffrage carried as we'll as
the initiative, referendum and recall.
The proposed amentment to the con-
stitution was carried. The addition
of the western empire state Of the
nation to the list of states giving
women the right to vote, will be q
tower Of strength to the devoted ad-
yocates of that cause all over the

A STATE WIDE RATE.

From comment in papers over the
state there appears TO be an impress
sion that the vote for supreme Judge
IN this state, at the primary is In the
same class as for congressman, with
the nomination and election confined
to the district from which the Judge
is chosen. This is an error. While
the sections for nomination must be
made from the various districts into
which the state is divided, the vote
by which the judges are nominated
and elected is that of the eleetor-
ate OF the whole state. They are Sc
lected just as state officers, except
that they must reside within specific
district, but outside that restriction
the vote on Judges is the same as it is
on governor or any other state official.

WOLF HUNTING PAYS

Thomas Phillips, one of the old
time residents in this portion of the
state, has been looking after wolves.
Last week he came upon huge gray
wolf near the mouth of Antelope
creek, south of Fort Pierre, and got
the animal with rifle. He was a
huge brute weighing two hundred
pounds, and easily able to pull down
COW or colt. Mr.. Phillips secured
special bounty of fifty dollars from
raDchers in that section for the xii
ling of these brutes, and this with
the hide and the bounty brings him
about sos for the days hunt, and
there are more of the same kind of
wolves in that part of the country.
He is continuing his hunting in that
direction.

BIG POWER PROJECT

The preliminary lines run at Little
Bend, show that the fall to be secur-
ed across the neck of the benG is
over seventeen feet, but the details
OF flow and power have not yet been
worked out. In regard to this pro-
Ject Major SchuktZ of Kansas City,
III his report on the Missouri river
just issued states that the power pro-
Ject at the Little Bend is practically
by tunnel, but places the fall OF
water at sixteen feet. which the pre-
llminary survey shows to be too low
an estimate. But this action on the
part of the government official in
charge of the Missouri indicates that
the plan is looked upon by him as
one capable of development.
