A LITTLE GUsH ABOUT MUsH.
New York Laments the Passing of the
American DISH

New York, Jan. 14.-In these days
of lamentation over the passing of the
good old times" of our fathers, mush
fails to come in for it's proper share
of tears. NIush--the very sound of
the word is helping to make it obso-
lete in the dictionary as we'll as in
the kitchen. Nowadays it seems to be
a relic of a former civilization. In
attempting to account for it's disap-
pearance as an antiquarian has dis
covered that the cooks laziness and
the products of men inventors are the
cause.
The cook may, or rather may not,
be thankful for what the men have
done for her with their invention of
breakfast foods, whose names if not
melodious, at least suggest that they
are easy to serve and eat while pro-
viding food for the mind during the
assimilation of the morning paper. 1t
is far easier to pour something out of
& package than to stand at pot stir
ring and stirring with a wooden spoon
as the corn meal Sits slowly between
the fingers into boiling water. The
cook of today should be glad to pre-
pare in such manner this aboriginal
American dish, if not for patriotic rea-
sons, at least because she does not
have to make her corn meal like the
Indian squaw of the pre-breakfast food
age.
No longer does the American family
await with eagerness "mush day."

ing of maple or plain sugar syrup.
Now, when mush gets on a table in
New York it is in disguise either by
name or garnishing. The other day
hostess went so far as to serve it
with lady fingers. And the good
old timers" cry, Give us mush, real
mush, plain mush, not pates de mais."

BIG AND BIGGER THE HATS.

New York, Jan. IA. - Despite the
TRADE against big hats, those worn
by Mrs. Peter Cooper Hewitt, Aileen
Osborn and other fashion leaders this
winter are bigger than ever, and al
most fiat as well. Apparently the big
hat has not yet been ousted from the
position it usurped with such swift
ness few years ago.
The trousseau of Mrs. Arthur
White Sullivan, who was Miss Alice
Dieudonne Chase, includes a dozen
hats of vast size. Mrs. Guy Forbes,
until recently Ruth Rudlow Soaring,
also started on her wedding trip with
hats large enough to serve as the
booths for subway kiosks, her friends
jokingly said. All four Of these wo-
men are known to their associates as
experts in reading fashions skies
Though not given to close economy
it is unlikely they would buy so many
mig hats If they were not sure the style
would retain its vitality at least the
remainder of the season.

WOULD ADVERTISE NEBRASKA.
State Commercial Club Organization
Asks for Augmentation.


Lincoln, Jan. 14.-To make il pos
the rapidly developing western states
and not fall behind her sister states in
the middle west who are spending
from $4,000 to 100000 annually in
making their permanent prosperity
and agricultural conditions known, the
new Legislature of Nebraska will be
asked to appropriate $4,000 to estab-
fish a publicity and immigration bu
reau. This bureau will be under the
direction of the state board of agricul
ture If present plans carry through the
legislative bodies.
This was the plan finally agreed
upon by the State Association of Com
mercial clubs, which has had a COM
mittee working on the proposition and
investigating what other states are do
ing, since last March. This commit
tee met in Lincoln during the week
and briefly stated the plan is this:
The smallest possible amount of
money to be asked for will be $25, 900
to be expended under the direction of

ity work, together with one assistant.
With this force the board of managers
of the state board of agriculture will
expect to gather the statistics now
gathered by the deputy labor commits
sioner, but in no way interfering with
that department gathering the needed
industrial statistics used in connec-
ton with the work and fulfilling the
duties of that department. The new
bureau will also be expected to fur
nish definite information to inquirers
about Nebraska, not in general way,
but in a specific way-practically plac-
ing itself in a position to show the
value of every section of land in the
state and it's possibilities of produc-
tons. Thousands of such inquiries
are now being received and without
funds the state board of agriculture
and the commissioner of labor are at
tempting to answer them.

SHORT JACKETS ARE HERE.

New York, Jan. IA. A jacket
shown in an uptown shop is very like
the little jackets which may be ex-
pected this spring. It is Of black vel
vet, sleeveless affair with girdle Of
the same material and a wide band of
fur to shorten the waist line.
A new fancy in the Innings of long
coats is the use Of pale color in the
upper part and dark one at the bot.
tom. The fad is certainly practical,
for the long coats are subjected to
soil from the pavements as much as
skirt and the dark lining at the bot
tom saves some of the murky appear
ance that Is sure to appear in a light
lining with few times wearing.
Fur is used in an endless number of
ways by the milliner. A big picture

ROOT WILL OPPOSE LoRIMER.
New Yorker Will Make Address Upon
Floor Of Senate.

New York Jan 1.-THE New York
Tribune prints the following under a
Washington date:
Senator Root has determined to
take the floor and speak in opposition
to the retention of William Lorimer
of his seat in the senate. Mr. Root
has made a thorough examination of
the evidence, and while he has not
completed his labors he has gone far
enough to warrant his assuring the
president that he will speak in oppo-
sition to the acceptance of the commit
tee report generating the junior SEN
ator from Illinois.
This is doubtless the most import.
ant development of the day, as the at.
titude of Mr.. Root will go far to eff
feet the unseating of the Illinois sena-
tor.
Both the legal ability and conser-
vative character of the senator from
New York are appreciated by his col
leagues and, while the more sonserva.
tive members of the senate might be
disposed to take with several grains
of allowance the charges and argu-
ments of some of the insurgent sena-
tors, they will receive Mr.. Roots judg-
ment with attention and his views will
have great weight with all.
"ln taking this step, Mr.. Root is act
ing in entire accordance with the pres
ident, who has been for some time
convinced that the finding of the com,
mittee on elections and privileges was
not in accordance with the facts as
disclosed by the investigation
AFTER thorough review of the ties.
timony a number of the more conser
vative senators have concluded that
the corruption of the Illinois legisla.
ture to which Senator Lorimer owed
his election was such that it cannot
be overlooked, despite the fact that it
is not the business of the senate to
enter into the question of corruption
in state affairs.
"The opinion that the extent of the
bribery shown in the testimony is suf-
ficient ground for declaring the cleo
ton invalid has become a conviction
with many and the pronouncement of
Senator Root, in view of his qualifi-
cations as lawyer, upon the legality
of such action by the senate will be
the determining factor in the senate's
decision"
