When the Lamp Is Lit
MUSINGS OF ElfNOR HITE

YES. It Is rather hard luck on you
when you hear the other girls talk
ing about their new winter clothes
and you know you won't be able to at
ford any this season. But you need not
be so downhearted, after all. New
things have certain disadvantages and
worries attached to them, which you
will avoid.
Men. as a rule. don't notice new
clothes, or II they do they dislike them.
The average man much prefers to see
a girl in something familiar. He has
got into the habit of looking out for a
slim figure in O smart looking coat and
skirt suit, and he is quite upset If she
wears a fussy costume when he had
expected to see the well remembered
tailored toys. His girl seems SO diff
ferent In her new getup that he Is shy
and i'll at ease.
Then, again. II isn't every girl who
can wear new clothes TO advantage.
Many feel awkward and self conscious
in them. A girl who. as a rule, is quiet
and pleasant will be made quite giggly
and silly by the fact that she is wear
ing a new hat
She hasn't yet learned to put 1t on.
1t tits over one eye. and she is I'M
comfortable and self conscious all the
time she has IL on her head.
So don't fret over the oldness OF your
things. Just introduce new little
touches which will bring your clothes
up to date. and your men friends will
realize in their vague. manlike way
that you look just like your own dear
SELF and your girl friends will think:
she's wearing the same dress again
this season. 1t must have been a good
one in the first place II II lasts so long
and holds its own so well. l wonder
get such fine bargains in clothesI
wish ! could get them"
But whatever you do. girls. don't
apologize for your things or explain
why It is that you have not been able
to buy new ones. II you say nothing
at all in the matter people will take II
for granted that you are wearing them
from choice rather than from necessity
and win never dream of saying:
Here comes poor Marjorie In her
old suit. II really Ii a shame that she
never has anything new"
But they will say:
Marjorie IL always well dressed. nc
matter what she wears. ! wish could
carry on my things as she does.
don't believe look half as well dress
ed In my new suit as she does In hel
old one. And think Of all the money
she IL sav!ng!"

Fashionable Colors

THIS is the time OF year when colors
change just as do hats and gowns.
Court blue is one OF the latest. 1t is a
cross between electric and gendarme.
Taupe has shed its brown tinge and
has acquired a tint like elephant gray.
One OF the prettiest blues is blue Wig.
a deep and yet bright shade.
Shrimp is the favored pink.
A glorious red which looks extremely
well with white is called rouge We
netian.
Chalk white is en- vogue.
Amaranth is a claret shade.
Caramel is another pretty edition or
brown.
Verdigris is one OF the smartest
greens.
Mimosa is a yellow that verges on
orange
Petunia is the successor OF the ruchsia
medley. with the purple and red tints
predominating.

THE CEDAR RAPIDS SYSTEM.

Perhaps the performance of Cedar
Rapids last week in raising that $780,
Geo should not be passed over with a
lines notice. These days the people
OF pushing cities are pretty sure to be
called on often to raise funds; and it
may be encouragement to know that in
some places the response is prompt
as well as hearty.
Cedar Rapids raised this money to
help along a college. The entire sum
wes gathered in a week. A hundred
citizens went on the soliciting com
Hi'tees, all starting early Monday
morning. Saturday afternoon they
had the work finished, all in time TO
get an item in the press dispatches
Sunday morning. II was much the
same system as that employed in the
successful Y. VI. c. A. and Masonic
Temple movements in Rock Island.
Also it should be mentioned that
tho Cedar Rapids citizen is called on
frequently to contribute Perhaps not
a place can be found in which such
demands come with greater frequency.
Cedar Rapids must have raised a ire
nendous aggregate of special funds in
the last half dozen years
But in that city they now find it
easier TO raise money than when they
FIST started the thing several years
ago. They tell you that the first eff
fort in this line wasn't altogether en-
coUraging. The second came easier,
ana then it kept on the way This
raising of s25OOOO in a week is the
fral demonstration of how perfectly
they have their system working.
If you are interested in raising
money from the public for a worthy
purpose you can't do better than go to
Cedar Rapids and make a study of the
means they have employed in that city
. Those people by this time have had a
postgraduate course in the noble art
Of giving.
They are able to make records, and
they do make them.

THE present CONGRESS.

The last session of congress was
very largely a political skirmish be-
fore the joining of battle in Novem-
Der. although the lower house under
Speaker Clark's direction did its best
10 fulfill democratic pledges only to
be baked by Charley Taft. Now that
the contest is over it is expected that
at the session just beginning, during
which no sitting member has any
thing 10 gain or lose personally from
what transpires, strict attention will
be paid 70 transacting the business of
the country. And just here it is prop
or to call attention 10 what appears
20 be a plain neglect of duty on the
part Of congressman which never
comes TO the attention of those who
do no see the record That is, the
very large and constant proportion of
absentces while important subjects
are being debated, and especially
when important votes are taken.
There are, of course. a few of the
important committees which have to
be sitting while the houses are in
] session, but that by no means ac-
counts for the fact that in the lower
house particularly, from a third TO a
half, more often than not, are re-
corded as not voting, and not infre-
quently measures OF serious import
/ are considered and disposed of by a
mere handful of members, no one

COMMENTATOR ACTION.

Commissioner Archie Hart is 10 be
commended for having determined TO
srforce the automobile ordinance from
his on. not only through the holiday
season but for all time. Rock Island
should cease TO be the joke OF the
.hree cities in the matter OF vehicle
regulation. There should be a law
u the road" in Rock Island as in all
other cities OF respectable size and
those who use the streets forced TO
respect the requirements.
The Argus. some weeks ago. in a
series OF articles. discussed the de-
mands OF the situation, setting forth
ne abuses locally speaking and 1t
is gratifying TO know that at last
here is to be some semblance OF order
and respect for ordinary requirements
of street traffic.
Commissioner Hart will have the
cooperation Of the citizens in the
strict enforcement OF the vehicle ordi'
ncnces.

tween s5O.OOO,OJO and s1O0o09,OOO a
year, the committee says.
The design of the committee in the
preliminary plan involved is to elm
mate the middlemen's profits This
is to be accomplished by the auction
sale Of produce consigned to the city
by farmers and sold for what it viii
bring, the city receiving one per cent,
commission and charges fer freight
and labor on all transactions. This
one per cent, it is figured, will repay
the city for its outlay for mainten-
ance. There will be sales in other
than auction form, also.
The Iniddleman may see his doom
written on the sky. If he would save
himself he must reduce his cost OF
doing business 10 a minimum and cut
out the charge for distribution. He
can then sell approximately as cheap
ly as anyone else, and he will not be
blamed for the high cost of living a
time when he is carrying customers
who pay cash to the mail-order house
on his books.
NnlIe the market plan Will save
money, It will not bring prices below
the level fixed by the food trust which
is today in control of the produce and
the butter markets and through the
| instrumentality of the cold storage
warehouse dominates the situation.
Real relief from the high cost o.
living will come when food and cloth
/ ing are untaxed and the food trus
| smashed and not before.
