NOT ALL CAN WEAR GREEN
sut the Woman Whose Complexlon
suits This Shade Should Make
Abundant Use Of It.

Pale green as an evening color is
most effective, and for those who can
wear it is highly becoming. Yet this
color does not really seem to get it's
proper need Of attention, and, as q
rule, at dinner or in a ballroom this
shade is conspicuous by its complete
absence or rarity.
Emerald green is by far the more
daring shade, and when carefully worn
this makes singu1arIy successful
frock, especially If the wearer has q
touch of russet or sunburn In her
locks. For the woman who is the hap
py possessor Of hair of a Titan shade
there are few colors in which she will
look as well as in emerald, and the
warmth and depth Of this combination
will make her sisters appear pale and
colorless beside her.
There seems, however, supersti-
tion against green as being an unlucky
color, one woman declaring that di-
rectly she gets frock in this shade
which is her favorite-some relation
dies and she is condemned to wear
black for long period. This has hap
pened so frequently that she has now
given up all attempts to wear green,
and would only do so in fear and trem-
bling.

ChlId,s Garments.

Children's garments demand a great
deal of attention these days. There
are many attractive models and ma
terials from which to build them.
The modern mother devotes much
thought and time to the selection Of a
practical as well as pretty outfit for
her little ones.
The school dress is the most impor-
tant garment for winter wear. Sail
or suits continue first in favor; they
are always attractive for girls. These
are made of serges, cheviots, pana-
mas, broadcloths; in fact, there is an
endless variety of materials suitable
for this dress. Stylish models come
in checked and striped fabrics, with
contrasting pipings Of red, blue or
white.
For the winter coat the reversible
materials are in highest favor. 9th
er stylish designs are of plush cara
cul, pony and seal for fabrics.

The new lingerie hats are not the
fluff predecessors of the breakfast cap.
They are practical shapes, as nearly
severe looking as dainty white en-

All the linen is applied very
smoothly over blocked shapes Eye
let embroidery is employed, and
roses, "ruche" of net or pair of

One linen hat that is out Of the or.

Questing an early opinion. When the

Der there was a prolonged debate by
senator's as to the right of the court
to refuse decision when asked for
it by the legislative body of the state
The claim is advanced by few SEN
ators that the state supreme court
can be forced to render decision.
However, there are those who declare
that such action cannot be demanded
by the senate. At any rate. the SEN
ate refused to accept the report Of
the court in the premises and passed
further consideration of the matter
until today.
Senator Garman concluded his re-
marks by saying, There is no ques-
tion but that the supreme court must
enforce the laws that this body ere
ates: that this body is the Legislative
body of the state and the supreme
court the judicial.
1t is now believed that John C..
Nixon, Bull Moose candidate for lieu

the lower court against Stephen
Fitzgarrald claiming the office.

Public Utility Measure In Senate.

~ ENVER, Jan. rs (Sentinel
Special Service THE judici-
- ary committee of the senate is
! expected today to report out utili-
ties measure. This committee went
into session Saturday morning and
worked the greater part of the day
in order to have its report ready for
today when the legislature reassem-
bles after a recess from Friday az
ternoon. The committee considered
the different utilities bills introduced
and while no report from the action
of the committee as to bill to be
favorably reported out was made, 1t
is said that the best portions of all
the measures offered will make up
the bill to be decided on by the com
mittee.
The measure to be reported out
will, it is said, contain an anti-pass
feature. anti-franking clause and a
reciprocal demurrage (Which is uni
versally demanded by practically ev-
cry section of the state, especially by
the farmers and fruit growers in the
Grand valley and the Arkansas val
ley). There is a section in the Corn
forth -Weiland bill which provides
for municipal ownership of public
utilities in the event the corporations
do not fulfill their agreement with
the public through franchises or
ordinances.
More than likely Denver will be
omitted from the workings OF the
public utilities bill because this city
is under n special charter and the
belief is that Denver city should take
care of itself in all such matters.
Representative Charles Daley, ed
itor of the Aspen Times, believes in
the publication of politics. He be-
lieves that these ends can be attained
by a frequent grand jury investiga-
ton. To this end he has introduced
bill which provides for two panels
a year in Denver. and one year IN
all counties of the second class, and
at the discretion of the courts in all
judicial districts.
This legislature is going to make
a record for the introduction of meri-
torious bills While there already
have been introduced large number
OF good measures, none will be more
beneficial than the one offered by
Representative Mcdonald of Pueblo

Commissioner Vedder recommends
that the city Immediately install an
electrical pumping plant. on the
Grand river above the Main street
bridge to be used in emergencies for
fire protection. He believes that
plenty of water for ordinary fires can
be furnished through the kannak
creek line, but jhe delay in increas-
ing the flow over the entire length of
pipe makes unusual drafts on the wa
ter supply Impractical Mr.. Nedder
recommends that the funds secured
from the sale Of the Gunnison pump
ing plant be used to pui in the cleo
tric auxiliary plant.
The commissioner also recon-
mends the purchase of new grounds
for reservoirs, rs these tracts will be
at premium by the time the new
reservoirs are needed as the city
grows.
Particular emphasis is placed on
the need for projecting the HANNAH
creek water shed from cattle, camp
ers and other actors which might
cause the accumulation of filth. He
urges that grounds about the intake
and caretaker house be fenced

conveying his thanks to all his as

THE principle of reciprocal de-

order one or more cars from the
roads. and they are not furnished
within three days the road must pay
a demurrage of SO per day on each
car until used. In case the shipper
does not use the cars within two days
after received he must pay a similar
demurrage to the railroads. This

write Representative Newton and

support the measure.

Leader Martin declared that the dem

Taft's appointments. He said that.
if any appropriation bill was not
passed before MarchN 4. it could be
passed at the extra session.
The republican caucus presented
solid front to insist on confirmation
of the presidents appointments. Sen
ators Dixon and PoindeXter (progres-
sives) were not present The other
republicans classed as progressiyes
were present and apparently were in
accord with the plan OF the caucus.

ment to proceed first with the army

cans holding that the democrats had
