Very few people, says a writer In the
Wide World Magazine. have any idea
where the familiar licorice root comes
from. As q matter Of fact, the bulk Of
1t halls from Syria. Here It Is gathered
and piled into great stacks. where It re-
mains until 1t is thoroughly dry. It Il
then taken to the factory to undergo
certain processes. The finished prod
uct is used for favoring confectionery
and beer. as well as entering into the
makeup of many brands Of tobacco.
Some idea Of the extent Of the indus.
try may be gathered when 1t IL stated
that on the average 5000 tons Of dry
licorice root is shipped from Aleppo
annually. while Bagdad yields another
5000 tons. Antioch 1000 and Damas-
q 500 tons

Washington, Nov. ga good deal
Of importance attaches to the meeting
in this city on December 16 of the
Republican national committee. The
object OF this meeting is to take up
for consideration the demand Of a Sec
ton of the Republican party for q
change in the basis of representation
in national conventions.
The conference will first determine
whether the national committee il
empowered to make such a change, or
whether 1t shall be necessary to call q
special national convention to under
take it.
Opinion is divided in the present
national committee upon the method
of procedure, some committeeman
holding that If the committee has the
power to call an extraordinary con-
vention to change the rules Of repre-
sentation, it is equally potential to
direct the change.
II it Is decided to call a national
convention it is expected that such a
meeting would be set for a date early
in the spring, and to be held in the
city offering the most attractive in
vitatiOn. Detroit, Pittsburg, st. Louis,
Cincinnati and Indianapolis are ex-
pected to vie with one another for the
honor of entertaining the convention
Meantime, the Republican congress
sfonal committee has been threshing
out the subject Of change in represen-
tation, but its work is only Of a tenta-
tive character, and will be submitted
to the national committee, subject to
the judgment of the latter.
Several plans have been put for

ward. the most popular one seeming
to be az follows:
Four delegates at large for each
state and delegates for the several
congressional districts as follows: For
each of such districts in which the
vote cast for the Republican candidate
for presidential electors in 1908 was
not more than 40 per cent OF the total
vote cast for presidential electors in
such district In such election, one del
egate; for each of such districts in
which such Republican vote was 40
per cent, but not more than 60 per
cent, two delegates; for each of such
districts in which such Republican
vote was more than 60 per cent. three
delegates. In any state where a reap
portionment act has not been passed
to provide the full number of congress
sional districts, such state shall be en-
titled to delegates at large for each
representative at large In congress at
the above ratio. comparing the full
vote of the state with the total Re-
publican vote in the state. In Arizona
and New Mexico the apportionment
shall be based on the vote for dele
gates in congress. Total delegates.

The movement for an off-year ma
tional convention to consider the well

with a coterie of progressive Repub-
licans who met in Chicago and. under

morialized the national committee to
call a convention.

Perhaps never have there
been SO many Innovations in
women's dress as there have
been this past year. It is not
only that the general STYLES
have changed-that would be
nothing unusual-but there
have been radical variations
in the construction and an
pearance of all feminine UNI
dergarments as well.
Every intelligent woman of
today knows that old-style
underwear under new-style
clothes would be impossible.
Ruffles and starch have faded
away. Just what the present
fashions demand in underoar-
ments is q necessary and fas-
cinating study for the up-to-
date woman.
There is no way IN which
she can keep 50 completely in

and newest productions in lin
gerie as by reading regularly

pear in The State Journal and

In Favor of weddings Over Divorces

According to figures compiled this
morning. there are one-fourth az
many divorces az weddings in Shaw
nee county. In the last six months
434 happy couples have demanded
licenses in the office of Hugh MacF'ar-
land, probate Judge. In the same per-
iod of time, 1913 attorneys have filed
divorce petitions with the clerk of the
district court.
One-third of the petitions for di-
vorce, alimony, and separation are
granted. Fifty couples who promised
to love and obey until death parted
them have been disunited in the dis
trtct courts since the first Of June.
