NEW BLOUSE DESIGNS
nARMENTs ARE BEING SHOWN IN
REWiLpERINe NUMBERS.
lNoman Must Be Difficult to Please If
She Can Not Find Just the
Right Thing That Best
Suits Her.

All sorts of tricks are resorted to in
IN effort to glorify the already glori-
fed bIouses of the present season. In
looking over the hosts Of alluring
new blouses arrayed in Washington
shops in bewildering numbers it would
seem almost beyond the power of
even the most prolific mind to conjure
up another novelty. Yet each time we
glance around we find more, prettier
than the last.
Only recently the sash has been
brought into service and played upon
In many unique devices to offset and
accentuate the charm of particular
models. AS high-waisted, bloused-
over effects are in favor now, broad,
swathed girdles and sashes are ap-
pearing in the new designs and many
lovely colors are introduced as relief
notes.
Aside from the novelty of the blouse
design sketched for today, much Of its
attraction can be attributed to the
wide Roman-striped girdle that is
VI uoAOu IOOSOly dDOuI Tie waist. AS
the blouse is a white one, it will be
best to select one of the red-and-green-
striped ribbons on a cream-ground col
or, with perhaps finer stripes of green
and yellow.
White crepe de chine makes the
pretty blouse that is devoid of all
trimming save for the round silver
cord lacings in sleeves and across the
front. The fronts are left open at
the neck, but are drawn together at
the waist, and white net yoke, made
with a corded shirring and narrow
heading, fills in the opening. Small,
firmly buttonholed eyelets are worked
on either side of the blouse opening
through which to run the lacing. 1t
Is knotted just above the girdle with
ends hanging below. The two round
ed tabs that show below the girdle
are extensions of each blouse front.
The back and fronts are slightly
gathered to a square, shallow shoul-
der yoke finished with corded seams.
The seams are wide at the armholes
and set in smoothly under corded
seam below the normal shoulder line.
They are cut with faring-cuff exten-

sion that includes a tiny square turn

They are dart-fitted along the outside
of the forearm, and the silver cord

AS a final touch there are the two

GOLDEN TEXT-"Ask and 1t shall be
given unto you; seek. and ye shall find;
knock and It shall be opened unto you
Luke 1:9.
The only record we have Of this par
able is in this gospel. This portion Of
Scripture is usually thought of as be-
ing great teaching on prayer. 1t is
that, and 1t is more than that. It is a
great illustration Of the sound princi-
pies of pedagogy employed by that
wonderful Bible teacher, our Lord and
Savior.
1. Teaching by example ". u. There
was that in the prayer life of Jesus
that was different than that of the for
malistic religionists Of his day, some
thing that inspired the request, Lord
teach US to pray" His prayer life was
different, it was effectual. Notice, in
passing, the respect Of the disciples
when he had ceased" If there is one
lesson the oncoming generation needs
to learn 1t is that of reverence. His
prayers were too sacred to permit Of
any intrusion. His praying also awoke
in their memory the prayer life Of
John the Baptiser. There is deep psy-
chology here. Observation, memory,
perception, concept, all in their logical
order. The power Of example, this is
the first and the greatest method Of
teaching, and it is more than hun
dredfold the most effectual. 1t is that
which will awaken and hold attention.
It is that which will arouse keen de-
sire for knowledge It is that which
proves the power Of your profession.
No teacher can really teach more
than he has experienced. When will
churches awaken to the grave respon-
sibility Of carefully scrutinizing the
character Of those filling its official po-
sitions, particularly the teachers in
the Sunday school?

Most Wonderful Prayer.


II. Teaching by formula wv. Pa. The
human mind is weak and needs that
assistance which is to be found in a
clear statement Of truth. Not always
can we have the benefit Of q. strong
personality. Hence Jesus gives US a
formula, or prayer, often called the
Lords Prayer" but more correctly
termed 'the disciples prayer" This
is in some respects the worlds most
wonderful prayer, certainly the most
familiar. Lacking in personal pro-
nouns, it begins with that matchless
conception Of God, "our Father" it de-
scends step by step from a considera-
tion Of his hallowed name, his king
dom, and his will duke 22:42) in
heaven and upon earth, down to the
question of our need Of daily food. 1t
then sweeps backward through the re-
lations of mankind to each other, to
temptation, to the power Of sin, back
Matt. 6:13) to God once more, back
to the Alpha and Omega. In it is in
vocation, supplication and alteration.
It sweeps the whole gamut of mans
need. physical, mental anil spiritual. 1t
begins in heaven, it encircles the
glory from which the Son came, and to
which he returned. A study Of the
prayers of the saints, living and dead,
ought to be more emphasized. This
kingdom here mentioned is yet to be
fully established. A kingdom de-
mands a king (Rev. 22:20); its begin
ming, though, is in the hearts Of men;
it implies entire submission to Gods
will (Luke 22:42); it delights in doing
that will John 6:3S, Eph. 6:6); it de-
mands an entire sanctifcation of our
lives, and a desire that his will shall
rule in the earth Il Thess., 4:S). The
fifth petition is not the prayer Of the
unsaved sinner John 9:31). Fellow
ship with God depends upon our will
ingness to forgive others Matt. 6:14,
15; Mark 1925; but that is not the
ground of Gods forgiveness (Eph. III;
4:32). God does not tempt men (Jas.
1:13); he does permit temptation to
assail us, such as modern economic
conditions mark 1:12, 1S), but God
never allows US to be tempted above
what we can bear Il Cor 1913. Vol
umes have been written about this
prayer and yet its fulness has not even
been suggested. The teacher who
really prays cannot be a failure, for he
has the power Of God behind his labor.
He must, however, not limit himself to
his prayer only (Phil. 4:6; Jas. 5:13,
14). The Christians prayer must be
in the name of Christ, which is not
named here, for he was not yet cruci-
fed.

GOETHALS NAMED
FIRST GOVERNOR
Wilson Signs Executive Order
Carrying Appointment.
COMMISSION is ELIMINATED
"one-man" Government For the Zone,
Advocated BY the Builder Of the
Waterway, Is Adopted BY
the President.

Observation-Disclosures of a per-
manent government for the Panama
Canal Zone to supersede the Isthmian
Canal Commission on April l, was au-
thorized by President Wilson, with the
announcement that the nomination of
Col. George w. Goethals to be first
governor of the Panama Canal, would
be sent to the Senate in few days.
Colonel Goethals' idea of a "one-
man" government is carried out in the
executive order, which was made pub
lie by Secretary Garrison Immediately
after Cabinet meeting. The author
ity Of the governor is to be supreme,
under the Secretary of War.
Official notification of his selection
was cabled to Colonel Goethals, at Pan
ANA. Secretary Garrison, who per-
sonally told the Colonel that he would
be made the first governor when he
visited the Canal Zone last summer,
said he was confident there would be
no question about acceptance. The
change in title will mean loss of
$4,000 a year to the head of the zone,
as the governors salary will be $10,-
900, and he now receives $4,000 as
chairman Of the commission.
May Use Commission.
Secretary Garrison announced that
it was proposed to resolve the mem
bers of the commission, with the ex-
ception of Colonel Goethals, into a
new commission to arrange for and
conduct the ceremonies incident to the
opening of the canal. Congress will
be asked to provide the necessary leg
1slation.
AS the executive order not only ter
inmates the existence Of the Canal
Commission on April 1, but also the
present organization Of the working
force in the zone, many of the Army
officers connected Herewith will lose
the increased pay which they have
been receiving under the commission
form of government. The order au-
thorizes the designation of number
of such officers of the Army, as well
as a few naval officers, for duty in
the various departments of the per-
manent canal government, but the act
of Congress provides that they shall
serve at their regular Army and Navy
salaries. 1t had been assumed that
some of the officers now on the
isthmus would be appointed to new
positions created by the order, but
Secretary Garrison was not prepared
to make any positive statement on
this point.
Wilson's Reasons.
President Wilson sent out his rea-
sons for adopting the plan of govern
ment provided for by his order in the
following memorandum:
'In constructing and carrying out
the foregoing order, direct that it be
done with the following considerations
in view:
81 have deemed it advisable for rea-
sons of efficiency, economy and good
administration to have all the activi-
ties connected with the Panama Canal
under the supervision of one cabinet
officer"
