New Cubist Gown.

Chicago. March 17.-The cubist
gown will be the proper conceit in
women's dress this spring, according
to information impaired tonight by a
member of the Chicago Dressmakers'
club.
A full description of the new de-
parture in dress mas not been obtain
able thus far, but one oma aid a
front view of the gown reminded her
somewhat of the futurist painting,
Nude Descending a Stairway which
recently was shown at the Interna-
tional exhibition Of modern art in New
York. The creation is of %"futurist'
satin with a floral design in straight
lines. The trimmings are square, re-
|scmb:ing alphabet blocks. The sleeves
are four-cornered. Despite the geom-
~etrical construction of the lines. the
garment does not make the figure
angular, but accentuates the curves
and is said to lend a distinctive air of
grace.
About a thousand dressmakers are
here to attend the annual convention
Of the club which will open tomorrow.

WILSON'S POLICY
FOR CHINESE
FRAMED
GREAT SECRECY Is OBSERVED IN
NATTER, BUT 1T WILL BE
GIVEN OUT TODAY.

Washington, March 17.-President
Wilson will present for the considera-
ton of the cabinet tomorrow a state
ment concerning China, which is in
tended to be made public from the
White House later in hi day. White
House and state department officials
observed tonight the strictest secrecy
about h statement, and non would
venture IN intimation as to it's prob
able contents. 1t is known that the
president and secretary of state have
had several conferences on the sub
ject of China, and a particularly long
talk held in the executive offices just
before the secretary's departure for
the west vas salt tonight to nave been
devoted largely to the Chinese ques-
ton.
There are two phases of the Chi
nese situation in which the United
States is particularly Interested
recognition of the republican govern
ment now nearly wv years old, and
the proposed six-power loan.
The Chinese republic continually has
sought recognition, but the. policy OF
Taft and his secretary of state, Mr.
Knox, was TO WlthlOld ~cOgnltlO un-
til thes new government had demon :
stratedsto the world its ability to main
tain itself as a real republic, admins
tering a popular government.
The proposed Chinese loan by finan-
cial interests of the great powers has
been held up for a long time, China
declining to agree to the terms pro-
posed. Banking houses of the United
States, aided by the influence of the
state department, obtained the consent
of the other powers for American par
ticipation in the proposed loan.
So far there has been no suggestion
from President Wilson or Secretary
Bryan as to what the policy of the ad-
ministration would be as to recognition
of the republic or toward the loan
project.

BILL INTRODUCED IN OHIO LEG
iSLATURE REGULATING
WoMEN's ATTIRE.

Columbus. Ohio. March 17.-Declar-
ing that the immodesty of the attire
worn by women on the streets and
great wave of immortality now sweep
ing oye the country" Representative
Lewis Cappelle of Cincinnati tonight
introduced a bill in the lower house
providing for the appointment by the
government of a commission of three
men to prescribe the fashions to %
worn by women in the state of Ohio
Introduction of the measure resulted
from a charge filed with Governor Cox
today by a woman who did not sign
her name. that immortality is practiced
by married men in the offices of the
state house and elsewhere in the state
of Ohio"
Under the provisions of the bill, the
proposed commission would be COM
PEELED to fix limits on decollette,
dresses, SO that mot more than two
inches of the neck below the chin
shall be uncovered"
Another clause of the measure pro-
vides that transparent stockings shall
not be displayed or worn in public
places"
Another provision of the bill states
that 'it shall be unlawful to display
or wear any outer garment trimmed
or combined with lace, insertion. or
any kind of embroidery, mesh or net
through which the color texture of the
skin may be distinguished without
having the lace or other transparent
material backed with Opaque ma
terial."
Members Of the proposed commits
sion. according to the bill. would have
to be between 80 and SO years of age.
Not more h two of them would
have to be married men, and of good
moral character"
One of the members would be an
ordained minister, n d parent of not
less than three children and the third
a social settlement worker.
The commission would be author
lied to prescribe rules and regula-
tions for the designing and manufac-
ture of women's clothing and to pro-
hibit such styles and patterns of gar
ments as the commission after hearing
shall deem to be detrimental to virtue
and chastity"
The bill goes 40 far as to prohibit
department stores from displaying I'M
draped artificial figures. The bill
makes a violation Of the act punish
able by a fine Of not less than $25.

Sally A. Brundy, past 70 years of age,
became a plaintiff in an action involv-
ing property sold to the Butte & Du-
luth company to an approximate value
of 100000 today. naming "a persons as
defendants. The defendants claim one
half of the Henry Brundy estate. Mrs.
Brundy wants it all. ,
Because of her advanced age she
paid but little attention to the estate
left her. The complaint states that
one-half of the property has been con
ceded the widow, since no issue of the
Brundy marriage survive. Because
none of those who claim title are

State Troops Closing In.

Naco, Ariz., March l7.-Nearly 1000
state troops are closing In tonight on
the little Mexican border town oppo-
site this port. After their defeat Sat
urday, when General Ojeda's $50 fed
erals routed nearly 1000 constitu-
tionalists, the insurgent state troops
are intent on acting without delay,
They are bitter over Tie execution of
prisoners by the federal generals or
ders.
From Nogales directly along the
border, $50 picked Yaqui braves are
making a forced march to arrive in
time with the other groups of state
troops. Hearing of the approach of
their tribesmen, a few Of Ojeda's va
quis have deserted, depicting the al
ready small force of the Huerta gar
rison here.
With the return of the state troops
in greater numbers, it is doubtful
whether General Ojeda will dare ven
ture out as he did Saturday to meet an
enemy foul times his strength.
Facing a situation similar to that
~occasioned by the battle at Nogales,
when bullets fell into the American
town. Colonel Guilfoyle, commanding
the Ninth cavalry. is here today. He
notified General. Ojeda that the federal
commander would be responsible for
any danger to Americans On the All
IONA side of the line. Guilfoyle also
ordered troop movements which made
a total of nine troops tonight of cav
airy, including troops of the Ninth
from Douglas and the Fifth from Fort
Huachuca, on the border ear this
point. Also by order of Colonel Gull
foyle, .workmen late today began the
construction of a bullet-proof adobe
building here to be used as a refuge

SERVICE AT AFTERNOON TEA
Flower Basket to Hold the Cakes 10
Ono Of the Best Of the Ideas
Recently Evolved.

For the woman who loves a cup of
tea in the afternoon and who also
likes small cookie or cheese cracker
or some such tid-bit to nibble while
slipping her tea, there is new sug-
gestion in the way of serving the wa.
fers and cakes.
Often even a sandwich plate will be
too small to hold as many crackers
as are needed when three or four
friends drop in for a cup of tea and
gossip, and for this flower basket,
the style that is fat with tall handle,
generally used for the garden when
picking flowers, is just the thing, for
it holds a most surprising number of
cakes, and in this way one can easily
pass large number of tid-bits at one
time without the least Inconvenience,
and for crackers. decorated with jelly
and cheese and such edibles as cannot
be laid on top Of each other, this fat
basket is unsurpassed.

introduced. White Grape is q very
beautiful fabric and the process OF
water proofing to which English
Grape is subjected has made 1t prac-
tical.
A turban and veil are pictured
here developed in white. The turban
Is of crepe Georgette with veil of rich
net bordered with white English
Grape. There is no trimming on the
turban but the Grape border on the
veil pinned to the front of the turban
and turned back provides a beautiful
decoration.
Almost duplicate of this model is
shown In black. These serve to
demonstrate that it is now simply
matter of choice between black and
white mourning. The Introduction OF
Grape in the body Of the hat or in
the veil or trimming is significant of
mourning and makes these models
appropriate for first or deep mourn.
Ing. Grape is the only fabric every
where acknowledged as correct for
this purpose.
