The measure was introduced at the re-
quest Of Attorney General Gregory, and
it is understood at the Capitol that it
has the Endorsement of the President.
Chairman Adamson says he will press the
bill for enactment at this session
The reason for the bill is found in the
annual report of the Attorney General, in
which complaint is made that the COM
modities clause had failed to produce
the effect desired by Congress. because
railroads have formed subsidiary COM
panies to mine the coal or furnish what
ever other product the railroad has been
interested in. Congress sought to prevent
railroads from engaging in the coal busi-
ness, for instance, but this was easily
met by the railroads in the formation Of
the subsidiary companies.

Mr.. Anderson, who was formerly So

In some respects, he said, there was
room for Improvement in the condi-

GAINS IN PREDICTED

Claims Cause Is Making Rapid
;. !: Strides, in East and South
Especially.
By Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, President National
American Woman Suffrage Association.

By DR. Anna Howard Shaw President National
American Woman Suffrage Association.
Eastward the tide of suffrage takes
it's way in this new year. In New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey ana
Massachusetts campaigns will be waged
this year. and as the bill has passed
one legislature in each of these states
by a large majority there is little
doubt that it will pass the other
necessary legislature and go to the
voters next fall.
Last year two new states were won
to suffrage, Montana, with S1,741 wom-
en- of voting age, and Nevada, with
1910. At the beginning of this year
495 per cent of the territory in the
United States is won for equal suf
frage. The suffrage cause never loses
anything. There are some people who
will say we lost in five states last
year. But I maintain that we cannot
LOSE what we never had and that the
campaigns carried on in these states
in which the bill was not passed have
done more to educate the people of
those states and of the whole country
to the Importance of equal suffrage
as a political issue than ten years Of
work without campaigns could have
done.
Influences Felt in South.
Especially in the south has the in
fuence of the campaign work in the
west been felt. Every southern state
is now well organized and active for
suffrage.
For the first time in the history of
our cause. suffrage is being discussed
in the lower house of Congress. And
whatever the outcome of this discus
sion it does not affect the gain made
by having the subject brought out of
committee and made live issue on
the floor of the House.
I feel that our field of work is now
SO broad as to make woman suffrage
no longer a question of expediency,
but rather a political issue. All politi-
cal parties have recognized this as a
fact, and the question is now up for
consideration by all legislative bodies
in non-suffrage states and by Con-
gress. Because I believe that the en-
franchisement of the women of
America is the greatest step the coun-
try could take toward the establish
ment of that democracy of which we
talk-a government of the people, for
the people and by the people, hope
to see greater and more sweeping vic
tories for our cause during the COM
ing year.

High white boots in buckskin, calf
skin and canvas, either all white or
combined with black, are assured OF
success. A white boot with tip, heel
and front stay Of black patent leather
laced with black lacing, had inlays OF
black patent leather on the sides.
Though the medium long vamp with
contrasting feathers will lead, there is a
strong prediction that the French
broad toe and the short vamp will also
be in evidence. The half-Louis, the
Louis-Cuban and the Spanish heels all
show a slight increase in height. Strap
effects in broad straps, cross over straps
and side straps are seen on many or the
models. Large buckles no longer have
the sway. Small ornamentations In the
shape Of buttons are more frequently
introduced.
The low Colonial pump, either
plain. or in combination of shiny or
dull leather and fabric, in black,
white, gray, fawn, tan or bronze are
used in an overwhelming majority of
instances. Laced and strapped Ok
fords are also displayed.
A fawn colored pump had the tip
and heel foxing Of black patent leather
The sides were inlaid with strips OF
black patent leather. The sole orna
mentation at the side is a small enamel
button.
A patent leather low shoe with modi'
fed heel welt sole and recede toe was
simply edged with white and had q
fat leather bow edged in white.
A four strapped bronze pump with
short tongue had the back quarters OF
brown broeade in Japanese design.
The front vamps were an open work
revealing the hosiery underneath and
embroidered with bronze beads.
A white calf skin low shoe in gaiter
effect had a circular vamp and straps
of black. The straps crossed over each
other and fastened with black and
white buttons.
An oddity in a duck shoe after
style which originated in Austria, had
the vamp and straps printed with
black geometric designs.

to hosiery. Black and white are al
WAYS a good choice, but gray, sand
color, putty, tan, bronze color, and all
neutral shades are numbered among the
favorites.
Black silk stockings with heavy white
embroidered clocks are suitable for
wear with the black and width shoes.
Some stockings show lace inserts,
while others are woven with rows Of
drop stitching.
Just like a Scotch lassie would wear,
are the plaid stockings in many differ
emit colors. Stockings with Roman
stripes woven around with black feet
and tops, are new Corners in the hosiery
field. Two toned effects in many new
combinations still hold their own.
All-over lace stockings not only IN
black and white, but colors are used
for dressy wear and either harmonize
or contrast with the costume.
Not only have / seen stockings but
toned up the side with rhinestone but
tons with the button holes and seal
loped edge worked in silk, but l could
not help but admire the originality in
volved in designing a pair OF white
silk stockings which laced up the side
with silk laces and tied in bow fin
ished with two tassels.
There may be no "snakes in Ire
land,' but a pair of black silk stock
ings had running up the instep a
snake worked in iridescent beads. An
other pair had butterflies large and
small worked in beads. Stockings with
open work insteps embroidered with
heavy floral design are worn frequently

LONDON, March 5.-Because Ger
many has refused TO end its cash
acquisitions on Belgium and is now
collecting a war levy of $4,000, goo a
month from the whole country. the
British foreign office declines TO give
a direct subsidy TO the commission
for relief in Belgium. This informa-
ton is conveyed in a letter from Sir
Edward Grey to Herbert c. Hoover,
chairman of the American Belgium
relief committee, dated Feb. %, and
which is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Hoover: Your return
from Germany and the information
you have given me as to the result of
your journey afford ne the opportu-
nifty TO sum up the negotiations which
passed between the commission for
relief in Belgium and his majesty's
government in reply TO the various
letters you have written me.
When the work of the commission
was originally set on foot through the
United states and Spanish ambaSSa-
doris in London in behalf of the Bel
gian government, his majesty's gov
eminent agreed that all food sup
plies from neutral countries through
the commission should pass into Bel
GUM without interruption for dis
tribution among the Belgian people
| under guarantees given by the Ger
man government TO the commission.
His majeSty's government also
| contributed 100000 ($500,O00) to
/ the funds of the commission. This
sum has been supplemented by grants
| Of money from Canada, Australia and
| New Zealand. We also were able TO
! extend facilities which insured your
| shipping reaching Rotterdam and in
certain instances to relax in your
favor our prohibitions affecting the
export of food and the transfer OF
money.
Deemed Situation Urgent.
Military cOnSiderat iOns might be
held to render such action on our part
inadvisable, but it appeared to us
necessary in the circumstances to dis
regard such considerations You rep
resented to us, however, that such
grants were quite inadequate to your
needs, since your expenditure fol-
foodstuffs distributed in pure charity
! amounted to between f40O,O 900 (S2,-
0O0,000) and 100000 (s2,50O, 000)
monthly. You, therefore, asked fol
a monthly subventiOn from our gov
eminent to supplement the very gen
erous private contributions which
you are receiving from the American
public.
I'VE did not see our way to accede
10 your request. Indeed, for some
time we have regarded the whole pro.
ject of the distribution of food in
Belgium with some doubt, in view OF
the action of the German authori-
ties.

They also levied large monetary
contributions upon the cities anC

she is not correctly clothed-that she

correct unless everything she wears is
in keeping Possibly she would con-
fess to giving more thought to her e1-

"Made in America" is a familiar
term ia shoedom for American shoes
have always won first rank in the affec-
tions not only with the American wo-
man, but also with her foreign cousins.
This season our manufacturers have
gained fresh laurels for they have ex-
erted themselves to the utmost TO pro-
vide novelties both in material and
style.
Shoes should be fitted so that they
conform with the shape of the foot,
for ease and comfort the shoe should
be as wide as your toes when you
stand in your stocking feet, so as not
to compress the outer border of the
foot. Your shoes viii give greater sat
isfaction if stretched on shoe trees

more properly.

same influences which affect the other

we have the martial note sounded in
the trimming Of high boots. 1t is
rather unusual TO talk of high shoes at

is a strong inclination to show many
inches Of well shod fest under the alb
breviated skirts.

and even tassels.
A patent leather shoe had the vamp,

sand colored suede top and vamp had

seams were bound with blue soutache
braid trimming, matching in color the

One could 90 on for ever describing
the new low shoes for there is such an
unlimited variation in shiny and dull
leather with the tops and gaiter eff
fects.
For evening wear plain satin pumps
quite unadorned are used by many
fashionables. This severe style in foot
wear means economy. Satin, ottoman,
grograin and corded silks in delicate
shades. or black and white, are in the

Gold and silver brocaded slippers in
combination with leather often have

addition of cross strap finished with q
