the foot as much as possible. Relax

IN SPORTING CLOTHES
DESIGNERS SHOW SOME GOOD
NEW EFFECTS.
~Dressing the Part" Is Thing In
Which Women Take Vital Inter
est, and the Fact Has Been
Recognized.
BY MARY DEAN.

Sporting clothes are a matter Of the
moment and each new sport that is
taken up by women means an addi-
tional costume, or perhaps several ad-
ditional costumes, in the summer out
fit. Dressing the part is the corner
stone of the average woman's interest
in sports, and though each year the
designers turn out sporting costumes
more appropriate as well as more be-
coming than those of the previous
year, attractiveness must not be sacri-
feed to practical utility if the model

GirdIes and Belts.

Wide girdles of soft colored satin
are worn with white frocks of batiste
or book muslin. These girdles are
shirred or gathered into corselet eff
feet. Another fancy is sash of
white silk braid with border of roman
stripe. These are very smart with
white cloth suits. Elastic worsted
belts fastened with buckles are worn
with sporting clothes, and for the
same purpose are wide suede belts fin,
ished with patent leather.

SLIP MAY BE ELABORATE
Dainty Work Altogether Permissible
on Garment for the Smallest of
the Small.

There is but one Joy greater than
making ones wedding outfit for the
mating with the one man-that of
making a layette for the first little
one. The materials must be of the
softest and finest and the stitches of
the smallest The little everyday slips
will, of course, of necessity be rather
simple; but it is now permissible to
have rather elaborate dress for
baby's dress-up time, even though she
is the tiniest of the tiny. Some of us
do not approve of much elaboration
for children, and so there is, for US
who so disapprove, a compromise be-
tween elaboration and simplicity-the
little shocked garment
The small yoke will be so tiny that
but two rows of the shocking will be
required to form it. The neck is cut
low and square; not low enough to
expose the little chest, but a trife
lower than collarless. The whole gar
ment Is made in one and the yoke de-
fined only by shocking. On the left
side Is placed streamered rosette of
ribbon. If desired, row or two of
shocking may be put about the bot
toms of the sleeves White thread
and not silk should be used for smock-
ing, as silk will yellow and form an
unsightly contrast with the white ma

The three different exercises you
have taken will have counteracted
the ordinary wear and tear of the day,
according to Mothers Magazine. Be-
fore retiring however, hold cake Of
cocoa butter over the fame of a
lighted candle to soften it; then rub
over the feet. Massage gently with
both hands, being sure to rub from
instep toward toes. Be careful to rub
between the toes with your fingers,
which have been made oily by the
cocoa butter they have absorbed in
massaging.
With this few minutes care of your
feet each night, you may be sure that
unless you wear ill-fitting shoes, adopt
pumps for the street, or indulge in
French heels, you will be free from
corns, bunions, Nhilblains, or any 9TH
er ills of the feet; and that nervous
headaches will soon be thing of the
past. Nothing really has such sooth-

Then I lifted her up by the hand, and
we went back up the hill to the camp.
There was nothing to hope for in

Without the exchange of a word we
packed what few things we had, and
started, following the bank of the
stream.
1t was raw November morning that

with snow, and the little pools were
skinned over with thin ice. 1t had

Preserve the Half-and-Half Law.

The half-and-half provision should be
preserved because: ~ All experience
teaches that some fixed definite measure
of national participation in capital up
building is absolutely essential to the
capitals welfare. 90 The national halt
contribution is under the conditions of
today reasonable and fair. With 1t the
Washingtonian is equitably taxed. The
amount of revenue raised by it is needed
as to every dollar for the wise and
economical maintenance and develop
ment of the capital. 60 The half-and-
half law furnishes to the nation a good
reason and logical defense ON Ameri-
can principles for retaining absolute con-
troll of the municipal government OF the
District. Assuming that such control is
desirable, it cannot eauitably be retained
If the nation ceases to he a majority or
at least half stakeholder $50 to speak,,

The first two reasons for maintaining
the haif-and-half law have been consid-
cred in detail in preceding editorial cor
respondence. The third reason is dis
cussed today elsewhere in The Star.
II the half-and-half provision is rea-
sonably fair to the nation and to the
capital, the nation should not change it
and reduce its contribution for its half
payment of the District revenue is the
only justification on American principles
that can be found for its exclusive con-
troll of the taxing power in the munich
pality.

the subject of what he would have done
had he remained at home. How would
the protracted .watchful waiting" on
President Huerta have affected him?
What steps would he have taken in the
peal of the free tolls law? What reply
would he have made to the treaty with
Colombia. with the expression of regret
for the Panama episode and the money
allowance of twenty-five million dollars?
Speculation will now play around what
he will say and do on these subjects
upon his return. All will still be in hand
at that time. "Watchful waiting has
been resumed, the only change being the
occupation of Vera Cruz by American
troops, and the entrance of Argentina.
Brazil and Chile into the controversy as
medators. The Senate may not vote on
tolls repeal for a month. while the treaty
with Colombia may be in cold storage
for much longer time.

presidency. Until now he has based his
candidacy on domestic questions with
the trusts and what he calls social
justice" In the foreground. Suddenly
foreign questions have come to bulk
large and ovcrshadow all others. and on
two of them-canal tolls and Colombia
he has "a record. He has declared for
free tolls, and asserted that Colombia
is without just grievance as to Panama.
Unless he has changed his mind--this is
day of fipfopping-he is likely to in
sst on both opinions upon his return,
and maybe make them paramount in his
effort to return to the White House.

Revenue Cutter Service.

The Senate has enacted a bill for the
enlargement and Improvement of the
equipment Of the revenue cutter service.
providing one steam revenue cutter OF
the first class for service in the waters Of
southern California, another of the first
class for service in the Gulf of Mexico,
one of the second class for service on the
coast of Maine and one of the third class
for service anchorage patrol boat in
New York harbor Though unfortunately
there are little navy men and little
army men in Congress, more especially
on the House side. it is hoped by all per-
sons familiar with the work of this i'm
portant and conspicuous branch of the
national service that there are no little
revenue cutter men in Congress. or at
least not enough to prevent the require
ments of the revenue cutter service from
being adequately and promptly met.
The revenue cutter service is one of
great distinction. 1t deals with much
more than concerns the revenue. In
rushing to the aid of burning sinking or
injured ships at sea the revenue cutter is
frequently i'll the news. The record Of
revenue cutter usefulness and heroism
is a long and shining one. In blockade
work in war the revenue cutter takes its
place with the navy. One Of the latest
forms of usefulness of revenue cutters
Is the ice patrol. keeping lookout for ice
masses or icebergs in the Atlantic steam
ship lanes and making report Of them as
a warning to ships at sea. The revenue
cutter service merits liberal treatment by
the national legislature.

made TO the Senate on March 80 when
unanimous consent was asked for its con-
sideration, but objection was made. not
on the ground of opposition to the BILL
but because being deemed a measure Of
Importance it was thought proper that
II should go over until another time
This bill enacts that the control OF the
public schools in the District of Column
bia by the board of education shall ex-
tend to and comprise the use of the pub
lie school buildings and grounds by pupils
of the public schools, or other children,
and adults for supplementary educational
purposes. civic meetings for the free dis
cussion of public questions. social CEN
tiers, centers of recreation, Fairgrounds
and for free Public Library branches, as
well during the school year as during va
cation
Thus SO far as the Senate is concerned
a step has been taken In Washington
which puts the capital abreast of that
large number of cities which have adopt
ed the plan for wider and widening use
OF public school houses for the general
education and enlightenment of adults as
well as children. 1t is movement which
has gained strong Roadway in many
cities has been productive of much good
and gives promise Of constantly increas-

There is mucn OF interest in TIE an

Laying It On" the Foreigner.

Again the foreigner. He is responsible.
But for him there would have been no
coal strike in Colorado. But for him
there would have been no appeal to arms.
He, with his turbulence whetted abroad
and his hazy notions of conditions in his
new home. has head-deviled the whole
bloody business.
Let us not deceive ourselves. The tur-
bulent foreigner trained under oppression
may not he the most desirable of citizens
1t may be difficult to tame him even III
the land of opportunity.
But the fact is that when he arrives in
America he finds men of native birth as
turbulent as himself He hears Amer
lcan institutions derided and revlled by
those born under them. He sees excuses
inspired by. and committed under the
leadership of. Americans talking in terms
of progress and patriotism.
Is it surprising that he becomes law
breaker He is told that our boosted
opportunity is q myth: that it exists
when at all only for the rich; that the
poor have no rights; that few men
own and control the country: that both
the legislative and the judicial branches
of the government play the game Of the
rich passing and Interpreting laws Tor
furthering the ends of plutocracy and mo-
nopoly.
Where is the turbulently disposed for
eigner to get the proper light? Birds Of
a feather flock together If there We're
no birds of his kind in the great Amer
lean aviary he would be SO lonesome and
helpless he would seek better company
and become a better bird. He seeks his
own, unfortunately finds it. and thus adds
one to the army of the discontinued and
the undesirable. ......
If all turbulent men OF foreign birth in
this country We're rounded up tomorrow
and deported there would still remain
enough men of native birth inveighing
against the American order of things to
cause the gravest uneasiness and provoke
clashes with authority much too easily.
We have not taken sufficient account of
the growth of this spirit among u.s. and
of what it means OF menace to our insti-
tutions.
There are two men. dangerous to them
selves and to all with whom they are
connected-the man at the top railing at
the man at the bottom. and the man at
the bottom railing at the man at the top.
The former should remember that he was
once at the bottom himself. and may be
there again. The latter should consider
that his aim is the top, and that if he
makes good he will want to feel secure
in his place. Capital has its rights and
labor its rights. and warfare between
them means injury to both.
