We know that the minds OF many President TAFT con-
sdered the greatest Chief Executive since the Civil VA.
There question but Mr. TAFT much stronger politically
than when Ike elected and believe there no question
but that he will be renomnated and reelected
HE KNOWS THE NATIONAL NEED
In consequence there has been constructive lessa-
ton and business like administration during the past
two years than during any four previous years.
AS A PROMISE KEEPER
Political Platforms have been compared to railoadcar

But President Taft has fulfilled platform pledges than any
Of his predecessors There has been more economy in the
present administration and greater retrenhment Of expend

CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN TRYING

trying conditions to contend with tta President Taft has had;
but he has been calm and deliberate he has made no play the

WAS Misunderstood
The condition under which Mr. Taft began his
far from being favorable. The Republican Party was
divided opinion many questions The conservatives were
too conservative and the progves progressive and to sat-

charged with being weak, lacking in and that he was

By Order of Driver

An effort on the part OF the Firth
precinct police to break up the practice
Of stealing milk from the doorsteps OF
customers brought to light the fact
that In at least one case filled bottles
have been stolen by employees of a rival
milk dealer.

Company, was complainant against
Russell Randolph, q sixteen year-oid
coIored boy, who said he had been or
dered by driver OF the company to
make a clean sweep Of all bottles along
B street northeast. When Russell went
to the home OF Robert q. Beall, ac-
cording to the testimony. he took a
bottle that was filed.

ties. After considerable discussion Rus
sell was sent to the National Training
School for Boys. The prosecuting attor-
new was ordered to take steps to prose-
cute the driver.

are Just as much in favor now as dur
ing the past few years-a fact for
which all women should be thankful
as they are serviceable as well as sty-
lish.
The well-dressed woman of today
always provides at least two waists
with each tailor costume. She has one
waist of cloth If It is for her winter
suit, or of crepe de Chine or heavy
durable silk If it is to complement her
spring costume, and then she never
fails to provide a second blouse of
chiffon, lace or some such light tex
ture that will make the plain cloth
gown sufficiently smart for afternoon
wear. If economy of the strictest de-
gree must be practised the second
waist is generally of white chiffon and
lace combined, in order that IL may
be worn with several different skirts
If so desired. At this time of year, when
It is necessary to replenish the ward

worn now and then right on through
the spring as well, is an excellent in
vestment. An extremely pretty bodice

Al this time while It is still too early
TO put on the new outfit. il is necessary
TO provide at least one, and If possible
more fresh waist, necessary, that Is, II
il is desired to appear well gowned at
all seasons.
A shirt waist, as such, is decidedly
out of fashions favor, but a separate
bodice made to apparently form part
of the skirt with which II is worn is a
different proposition altogether. The
separate bodice may be of the same
material as the skirt or Il may be OF
quite a different texture, and is, OF
course. of a different color, but in some
way in the trimming the idea Of the
model of the skirt is suggested The
Persian trimmings and the Persian
chiffons are excellent for a waist that

Among the elaborate waists the most
attractive are still made with founda-
tions Of lace or tucked or embroidered
net with generally some bands OF gold
or silver lace. while over this again Is
laid one thickness of chiffon, chlnon
cloth or marquisette. The over-bodice
is made apparently all In one piece
with mandarin sleeves cut just loose
enough to allow Of the arms being
raised comfortably. In making this
waist it is best to insert a small dia-
mond-shaped gusset in the under-arm
seam to insure the bodice giving sat
isfactOry wear. In this style OF waist
the foundation is really complete

outer covering of chiffon, marquisette

must also be a finished thing attached
