Are You q Beach Warmer?
Then Here's Your Costume!
Taffeta Bathing Suits Made in
Style of Latest Gowns the
Rage-Kimono Sleeves and
Draperies Are the Same.

NJ ME-TENTHS of the
N Women Who 60 to the
beaches cannot swin,,
and even those who know how
cannot resist the lure of the
beach.
A charming bathing suit
gipes a wondn just another
opportunity of appearing to a
distinct advantage, and, NTH
the latest suits at their CON-
mand, few are willing to over
look the chance.
This beach suit of pussy nil
. loW black tafeta is a fair e1-
ample of the prevailing mod
els, and is so great an i'm
PropemeHt over the oLd-fash-
ioned sailor mohair concoction
that there is absolutely no
comparison.
With the exception of length,
the suit is built on the same
lines as the street costumes
for this summer. The blouse
is loose, has raglan sleeves cut
kimono style, and the mere
suggestion of a skirt is a per-
feet reproduction of its longer
sisters.
The wide girdle at the belt
is of red and white striped tdt-
feta, the inset pest is of white
chiffon, and a small collar at
the back is also of chiffon. A
fad which seems to be allowed
to run all summer is that of
hdping the collar and pest of
freshly laundered linen or net.
This, while sounding very
expensive, may not be so,
provided the wedrer is a con-
sistent beach warmer and has
no desires toward going into
the water.
While the whole process of
appearing on the beach mere
ly to sit still garbed in still
another costume presents the
height of folly and wdstetul-
ness to some people, it is not
as bad as 1t seems when one
comes down to real facts.

spim without fear of criticism

choice nowadays, and surely

the fact that women were unwilling

My own belief Is that we are going
to have more standardized house
work and insist.on a trained worker
at less frequent intervals. That is.
once we have standardized work. We
will not need a worker for many OF
the hours saved by improved
methods What we will need will be

 range Prompt Transportation

Washington, June 12.-News today of threatened famine among iphabi- tants of Vera Cruz and vicinity set the telegraph wires to work out of the department of commerce and tonight Secretary Redfield had received as- surances that American merchants soon would have large supplies of food on the way to the Mexican port to be sold at moderate prices.
 The shipments will go in free of duty, if officials here can arrange it. s sescetary Redfield's telegrams were addressed to commercial organizations in cities throughout the east and south.
 Several of the replies said shipments of foodstuffs would be ready for the first vessel leaving for Vera Cruz and the war department will be asked to arrange prompt transportation.
 The war department itself is going ahead with plans for relieving the sit uation, but in the course of few weeks, the problem may be solved through Mir Redfield's efforts, making 1t unnecessary for the government it. self to go into business as wholesale grocer Acting Secretary of War Breckenridge, who has plans for the shipment of food on government trans ports, today cabled General Funston to recommend some means of food dis tribution to relieve the needs of the civilian population without destroying business of the regular native mer- chants.

SUFFRAGE QUESTION MAY COME BEFORE
 WOMEN'S CLUB TODAY
Little Opposition to Adoption of Reso- lution Approving Principle of
 Equal Suffrage

Chicago, June 12.-Unless all signs
 fail a convention of the General Fed eration of womens clubs tomorrow, for the first time. will face the ques- tion of womans suffrage for adoption or rejection.
 There is little opposition to the adoption of a resolution approving the
 principle of equal suffrage but the bat tie will come when an effort is made
 to have thf federation make the fight to obtain the ballot for women a part of the federations propaganda The subject hitherto has died in com
 mittee because the federation constitu-
 ion declares he subjecs of religion and poliics tabooed
 In the numerous conferences of this convention however, the great strides made by suffragists in recent years were recognized and it was agreed that enlightenment on the subject might come properly under the heading of education.
 It is a further rule that the reso- Ilutions shall deal only with those sub jects which have been discussed on the floor.
 For this reason Miss Helen Varick Boswell of New York referred in the briefest possible manner to the sub ject at the educational conference to- day. Although she scarcely more than mentioned its existence it was suffi- cient to form the entering wedge It is believed the committee tomor-
 row will report in favor of the prin- ciple of equal suffrage. This, it is said will throw the fight onto the floor. Delegates today held three sessions
 which eliminated tonight in an ad- ddress by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York, president of the Inter-
 national Women's Suffrage alliance Suffrag gists were present in force and applauded the presentation of their views.
