WANT MEASURES SUBMITTED.
Effort Made to Get Initiated Bills on
Ballot in November.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 22.-Contrary
to expectations, the West initiated
amendments will probably be voted
on in the election to be held Nov. 3.
These are the bills to change the
supreme court and the legislature
in revolutionary manner, to reduce
the maximum levy for taxing purpos
es, and the oil tax measure. These
measures were tied up in the su-
preme court on protests and prevent
ed from being voted on in August.
The mandate of the court did not
reach the secretary of state until
less than one hundred days before
the November election and Secre-
tary Harrison assumed that they
would not be entitled to go before
the voters in November. For just
that reason Attorney General West,
who has Just returned from Wash
ington, and Ex-Governor Haskell, who
was his campaign manager for gov
ernor has been active today and
political influences have been
brought to bear to have the bills
submitted in November A vigor-
GUS fight will be made on the
measures by the factions that op-
posed them in the first instance.

MONDAY AFTERNOON, NovEM-
BER 2.

The United States Marine Band
is famous chiefly because Of its
unsurpassed musical accomplish
ments, but it is equally noteworthy
by reason of the attractive appear
ance it presents when in full uni
form. With red coats with white
facings, blue trousers and red caps,
a happy combination of the national
colors, the band makes as fine a pic
ture as the eye can rest upon.
Marching along the broad expanse
of historic Pennsylvania avenue,
with the rays of the sun reflected
from the bright silver instruments
and the gold trimmings of their
scarlet coats, keeping the step for
which the Marine Corps is famous,
with the drum major arrayed in all
the gorgeous paraphernalia of his Of
flee, the organization never fails to
evoke the plaudits of the multitudes
that note its progress. No less i'm
posing is the less martial spectacle
when the full band Is seated in a
semi circle on a stage. The COM
manding personality of its leader,
Lieutenant William H. Santelmann,
gives additional effect to an already
aspect.

The Pelerine Wrap

While nobody who knows anything
about fashions believes that the
pelerine wrap is to reign supreme as
street garment, nevertheless, many
of the leading couturiers are turning
out this odd. half-length cape like
affair.
The most recent expression of the
radical departure from the sleeved
coat is a half shawl which points six
inches below the hips at the centre
of the back and has two sharply
| tapering points which cross in front
at the throat, forming series of soft
little folds over the chest and cover
the figure to the waist line. Thus
draped, the arms are fully protected.
There is no collar but at the chin
one end of the three cornered wrap
runs through a large fancy buckle on
the other side whose point hooks near
the opposite shoulder. This pelerine
is blind-stitched at the edges to a silk
lining and is pretty in broadcloth,
velvet or satin. While not really
smart as part of tailored street
costume, 1t is a practical separate
wrap and one which a home dress
maker can easily put together.--Phil-
adelphia Press.
