Washington, Feb 23-Long acqui- essence by congress in executive withdrawals of public lands from entry was held by the supreme court here today to have had the effect of recognizing the existence of this right in the prime so the court sus. tained the action of former Presi. dent Taft in 1909 withdrawing from entry thousands of acres of rich oil lands in California and Wyoming for conservation by the government.
 Justice Lamar rendered the court 8 opinion. Justice Day announced a dissenting opinion in which Justices Mckenna and Van Deyenter con cured. As an immediate result of the opinion, oil companies which ob, tained entries after the Taft with drawal but before legislation by con. gress few months later providing for withdrawal lose their claims on lands valued at millions of dollars.
 Justice Lamar pointed out that for eighty years the executive had made withdrawals, hundreds in number.

IF these fortunate ones who escape A winter by iourneying South are wor- ried by misgiyings as to what they shall wear, they may set their minds at rest Gowns for southern tourists, as enchanting as those in seasons past, and millinery as exquisite as has ever been worn, are all at hand Whether or not they are inspirations from creators of styles in Paris or in America is not the important matter They are here and they are lovely and those who wear them or those who go to see them are not to be dis appointed
 In hats for southern wear the pana- ma = playing the leading role. There are many shapes to choose from in this beautiful weave. Among them moderately large hats on the sailor order, with either straight or rolling brims, and others that droop back and front contrive to bs becoming to al most every wearer
 Many people must conine their tray- cling to America this year, and a great CT throng than ever will see and be seen in the fashion parade grounds Of the South What is worn there will be worn later in the North. Styles that survive and for which a demand is created will become our fashions for the summer season.

Bits About Blouses

IL is fashions decree that fussy blouses have had their day-for a time at least-and so we must give our attention to much simpler designs They are extremely smart and very becoming to most women.
 This season We have a number of new blouse materials. most important among which are the pussy willow silks and lovely new chiffon crepe, known as georgette crepe.
 Unlike chiffon, the georgette crepe needs no net foundation, for, while it is quite thin, it is more opaque and washes beautifully
 The pussy willow silks come in a heavier quality than crepe de chine, and are a sort of cross between that and messaline, with a fine subdued lus- ter to them.
 Either of the two fabrics just men toned will work up nicely in blouse in white, palest pink or yellow, mauve navy, pea green or rust color These are the smartest blouse colorings just now.

 Little Rock, Feb 23.-The house tonight adopted amendments to the senate bill regulating telephone rates, making it unlawful for any person, city, or city official to receive free telephone service.' If concurred in by the senate it will knock out franks in many cities in the state, where cities demand free service as part of franchise contract. It will also knock out many city officials who now re- ceive free service in their homes.
 The house tonight also practically killed the Garrett bin to extend tax paying time to October, by moving to table the measure. A filibuster by friends of the bill prevented an inn mediate vote, and the house finally adjourned 10 end the wrangle, as the fiHbusterers threatened 10 fight for th5 bill all night

REV FISER PRESIDED AT
 CAMPMEETlNG LAST NIGHT

Let ms hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man" CEcc. 12:13), was the Scripture that Rev. J. T. Fiser riyet- ed upon every mind last night at the Salvation Army winter campmeeting. After tracing very thoroughly Solo mons career and showing that he, though king. powerful, wealthy and famous, had tried and tested the popular vices in every form, and had tried tha wine cup to its dregs, yet, in summing it all up. he declared it.
 all vanity. all is vanity He had 700 wives and 75o concubines; he tried il all, yet ali is vanity" It is folly the speaker declared, after Solomon has tried it all, for any man or any being 10 think that he can get anything ont of these things that wll satisfy.
 There will be a special demonstra- ton tonight commencing at SEQ.
 Rev Holland of the Third Street Methodist church will address the camp Thursday and Friday nights.
