OF JACKETS
SERIOUS PROBLEM WOMEN ARE
NOW CONFRONTED WITH.

The problem of keeping warm with
these cold days comes I'D for settle
ment TO every oma The fur coat
does not solve il. for IL il entirely too
heavy for walking. 1t is very good for
evening. for trolleys and for motor
cars, Tut il wears out the strength of

everyday garment.

warm for the open even over a cloth
coat II Is not the custom to wear
warm waists now a woman has TO be
dressed cool enough for our over
hss ed houses, and she must depend
on her outer wraps to protect her
from outdoor cold.
Many thiE gs have been tried for
warmth outside of the fur coat. OF
course the Elton jacket of fur is the
newest garment II has little weight
and then Eton jackets are coming
back into fashion. Yet every woman
cannot afford two coats of fur. a long
and short one. and the choice goes to
the long one as II gives the greater
service. And many women cannot af-
ford either coat. so they have to in
vent. or accept. other methods of keep
tsg comfortable in snow and ice
The Shetland wool vest Is used by
many under the coat. This has the
advantage of being exceedingly light
in weight and washes easily. but 1t
has the disadvantage of being too
snug, il brushes the blouse and its
long. tight sleeves are not easy to
slip over the loose kimono sleeve OF
the present waist.
The waistcoat has no sleeves, and
this is an objection to those who feel
the cold acutely In their arms and
hands.
The new thing which Is less ex-
pensiye than any Of the others is the
japanese sack. This, In a square cut
and light co,ors, has been taken up for
two or three years for evening wear,
but he ones that are now used every
day under dark suits are fashioned
like an Elton packet. buttoned high at
the neck and are made of japanese
silk In colors that prevail in coat suits.

CUMMINS IS GROOMED
FOR PRESIDENTS MATE
Friends of Taft Figure on Iowa Senator Taking Sec
0nd Place on Ticket in 1912 Campaign

spsra1 TO 1hs Wsshingtou Herald
New York. May. 2a-The following po-
hticai forecast comes from Washington:
Politicians will oe shocked-not the
least Of all Senator Albert B. Cummins,
OF lowa-to learn that the friends of
President Taft are figuring on making
the Senator Taft's running mate in the
1919 campaign.
Information to this effect has been
given by ono Of the close friends of the
President, who have embarked on the
active work Of promoting his renomina-
tion. These friends. among them Sena-
tors Lodge and Crane. of Massachusetts,
are hard at work now.
with the Presidents denomination as
'sured, who do yoI figure on for Vice
President?' one Of the Presidents friends
was asked.
What would you think of Senator
Cummins?" was the reply.
The correspondent laughed at the idea
Of one Of the leaders Of insurgency TAX
ing second place on the Taft ticket.
Tt may not be SO much of a joke,
urged the Taft man seriously. THE Sem
ator Is a Republican, and he would have
been nominated for Vice. President II. 1908

Senator Cummins' sentiments on this
latest development Of the Presidential Sit
uation are not known.

TAFT'S ATTITUDE
SUBJECT OF CLASH
House Members Argue Over
Flood Statehood Bill.

A discussion as to whether President
Taft will sign the Flood Statehood reso-
luton in the event OF 1t being concurred
in by the Senate took place in the House
yesterday. The resolution provides that
the constitutions Of Arizona and New
Mexico shall be resubmitted to the
people, and that after the people have
again voted on provisions that have been
brought into controversy, Arizona and
New Mexico, whatever the result, shall
be admitted to Statehood
Arizona's constitution, which provides
for the recall of Judges. is the cause Of
the present trouble. In the course or
debate Representative Mann, of Illinois,
the minority lea Ter. expressed the opin-
ion that President Taft would under no
circumstances sign the Flood resolution
MIR. Mann declared that the Presidents
opinions as to the recall of the judiciary
are fully known, and that he had no
idea that the President would sign the
measure II It was submitted to him for
approval"
Representative Flood, OF Virginia, au-
thor of the resolution and chairman O,
the committee that reported it, differed
with Mr.. Mann on this point. He said
he had conferred with the President on
the subject and that while he was not at
liberty to discuss the Presidents inten-
tions he was satisfied with what he had
learned at the White House.

GREET PRESENTS
PLEASING DRAMA
"As You Like Is" Features
Miss Valentine as ROsalind.

The Ben Greet Woodland Players"
closed a three days season at the Bristol
School with an open air performance of
The Winters Tale" last night. The last
production brought forth one of the larg-
est crowds of the five performances.
The work of Miss Phyllis Schuyler as
Perdita was especially interesting to the
audience, as she is a Washington girl
having graduated from the Cathedral
School last June. Her lighter scenes with
Vivian-were particularly
well done and ELECTED much applause
Vivian's characterization, while lacking in
some of the finer touches, was well done,
and his love making was particularly con-
vincing.
Among the others in the cast whose
work pleased were Dallas Anderson as
Leontes, Frank McEntee as Camille.
Grace Halsey Mills as Paulina, and Ruth
Vivian as Mopsa.
LAS You Like It," the best of the
Greet's outdoor repertoire, was the bill at
the matinee performance, and was mark
ed by the appearance Of Miss Elizabeth
Valentine as Rosalind. Miss Valentine
carried the role exceilently 20.
Dallas Anderson, who is possessed of
more real talent than any other male

he portrayed with ease and a facile
which was most pleasing
Percival Seymour as William. Frank
McEntee as Touchstone, and Ruth
Vivian as Audrey were all exceptionally
cast. but Ben Greet was sadly out of
place as Jacques.

Mr.. Ogram explains the popularity Of
carbolic acid as most frequently being

the ease with which carbonc acid can
be procured helps some.
Scores Poisons Act.
There are a lot Of people who think
all they have to do is to leg!slate and
to pass ordinances to stop anything or
to bring about reform. The poisons act
is an example of it. That act was in
tended to make suicide hard. but 1t
does nothing Of the kind. No matter
what restrictions are put on the sale Of
poisons. there Is always the river, the
gun. and the gas burner, which have
claimed their toll of victims, who have
got tired before the journey was ended
and want to get of at a way station.
But as long as any one can buy q gun,

TBLEGRAPHER DIES
SUDDENLY IN ROOM
William J. Lee Is Stricken
with Uremic Poisoning.

William J. Lee, at one time closely
connected with government al officials in
high authority and for the last two
months working at Union Station as a
telegrapher. died at 41s Fifth street north
east last night. Uremic poisoning is sup
posed to have been the cause Of death.
Lee had been rooming at the Fifth
street house for the last two months
Yesterday afternoon about 4:3o o'clock he
went home and complained Of feeling ILL.,
Half an hour later Mrs. Rock, the land
lady, came home. Children in the neigh
borhood told her Lee was sick and she
went to his room.
Mrs. Rock sent for DR.. Guy Stark Sef-
fold, Of 1850 T street northwest. DR..
Seffold said Lee was dying. and that the
best place for him was a hospital.
The ambulance from Casualty Hospital
was summoned. but when It arrived Lee
was dead. DR.. Seffold said he could not
determine the cause Of death. and that
an autopsy should be held. The body was
removed to the morgue. Lee has q
brother. a train dispatcher at the Union
Station.

tember. when on September Is Mr.. Taft
made It known that IF at the expiration
Of his term there yet remain pledges Of
his that have not been fulfilled. and the
American people that he remain in ONCE
and fulfill them, the President will be at
the command Of the people"
At about that time it was determined by
the Presidents friend that a sraightening
out Of the kinks was one Of immediate
necessity. The plan to secure the resig-
nation Of Secretary Ballinger was de-
vised, but 1t fell through because Of a
bungle.
1t is interesting to know that the
credit for the conception Of this plan Is
due to William Loeb, jr. 1t may be
remarked that 1t Is quite likely Mr.. Loeb
will be summoned to serve as Republican
national chairman IN. the 1912 campaign.
Missionaries are now in the South. and
favorable reports are coming in. From
other sections. 1t is said good reports arc
likewise being received.
The Taft people are not really fighting
any other well-defined candidacy. They
do not believe La Toilette can secure any
considerable number of votes. and the
mention Of the name Of Hughes does not
create a ripple of comment
What the friends Of the President are
aiming to do now Is to heal so far as
possible the breaches in the party and
put his denomination beyond dispute. In
every way possible the progressive wing
Of the party is being placated.
As for former President Roosevelt, ir
is positively stated that he will not at
tend the national convention.
