wonder at the cause.
Your. case is so different from

Wv p ITH the annual July meeting
W. for the induction of officers
. Wv for the coming year, the Dis
trlct Federation of Women g
Clubs will close a cycle of activity that
not only exceeds the past records OF
the organization, but augurs well for its
position as a civic factor when work
Is resumed in the autumn. The thirty
seven clubs comprising the federation
have given their help, both as independ-
ent societies and as units of the larger
association, to the .furthering of num-
Der of interests OF local. as well as Of
national Importance. Among these are
the Belgian relief work of the Red
Cross. formal approval OF President
half-andhalf bill. Endorsement of the
w. c. r. U. campaign and recommends
tions that motion pictures be censored.
Mrs. Ellis Logan, whose two-year
close with the end Of the federation
year, today gave a retrospect of the
activities for 19l4-i5.
Reviews Years Work.
"The review Of last years work in
the federation is full Of Joy" Sc said.
I'VE have had the united co-opera-
tion of the women of Washing
ton. whether members or otherwise,
In bringing help to all charitable en-
terprises entered upon at the beginning
of the club year. First Of all, we gave
our attention to the Rcd Cross fund.
Then followed the collection Of a mile
of pennies for the Belgians. Still later
came our District donation week In
that way we gave help to local charities
wherever there was need.
I'm the field of literary work every
club is full in membership. nearly all
having waiting lists. Besides study
along well-planncd courses. each club
has contributed to outside charities,
held social meetings, and given definite
service in many lines.
THE Saturday morning meetings of
the federation were held from October
to June at the Public Library. These
were largely attended by many in ad-
dition to the club members. In this
way we brought the thought Of the
day to many lives that would not have
had opportunity otherwise to study
current issues. We are under great
scientists who contributed their serv-
ices to make these meetings such a
success
I'm addition. durin gthe year the
half-and-half plan outlined by the COM
mittee Of 100 was unanimously in
dorsed. We also advocated the stronger
censorship of motion pictures, desiring
to Ss,nf make then them more % attractive tt and and
instruction as we'll as interest.
Memorial Contribution.
We have given our formal supper
to the memorial to Mrs. Wilson and are
ready to contribute when the fund !!
definitely started. We are heartily IN
favor of President Wilson's peac,
policy. which cannot be criticised, anc
believe that the women can do a grea
deal in helping him to maintain It b.
their support.
'One of our favorite projects-th,

at the old Masonic Temple. To THU

A Universal Gown.

A committee of women in Manhat-
tan has awarded prize to a girl of
twenty for designing a gown which
can be worn by any woman any
where.
The fact that the competition was
started by women is the most amaz-
ing thing about 1t. That men should
imagine that they could free women
from slavery to fashion by inventing
a gown which would do for all sorts
or uses and, seasons, would not be
strange. Indeed, a London novelist.
W. l.. George, seriously put forward
that plan last year. as a relief from
the high cost of living, and as a So
isAs~A Of the woman problem"
The Washington times., 1915-06-24
The POlymuriel.

With the acceptance by the Poly
muricl committee of a design which
Is to be used for the making of a
universal garment for women comes
the inevitable question: DO wom-
en- want universal garment"
That the Polymuriel idea has been
welcomed by many women there is
no doubt That, on the other hand.
it has been scoffed at by many
others is also matter of certainty
There are thousands of business
women who. feeling the burden of
correct dressing and the time and
expense 1t involves too great to be
borne, will joyously welcome the
opportunity to have a gown which.
while not partaking in any way Of
the severity or unbecomingness of
a uniform, will yet be so standard
lied as TO obviate the necessity of
conforming slavishly to style and
will be accepted universally as being
the garb of a well-dressed woman.
There are, on the other hand,
however, women who shudder away
from anything which partakes in the
slightest detail of uniformity as they
would shudder away from a serpent.
These women, eager for individu-
ality, follow the latest mode always.
but follow it in such manner that
the mode is made to conform to
their own individuality, their own
particular style. These women will
look upon the Polymuriel with dis
favor. They will. Furthermore. claim
that the dainty woman will desire
a change of costume for afternoon
and evening. after she has spent tho
morning in dusty office or shops,
no matter how great a loss of time
and nervous energy is involved in
making this change. The Poly
muriel, morning, afternoon, and
evening accessories, bifurcation and
all has still to prove itself.-Globe
and Commercial Advertiser.

" HE laws OF heredity are not in
fuenced by acquired diseases
Il or by legal enactments. Even
Darwin's assumption that the
offspring Of two parents are halfway
between the two Is not true
Very few biologists believe this to-
day. Living things, true enough, some-
times inherit from both sides, but never
wholly equally. and sometimes wholly
from one eide. They are never midway
between their parents. Heredity would,
indeed, be as simple as two times two
make four II that We're true.
The Mendel Theory.
The Bohemian monk, Gregory Mendel,
in 1856, discovered the most funda-
mental law Of inheritance. This law
was not made public until 1900.
Mendel found that in all creatures
there are characte ristics which are
united and handed down as unit in
toto or not at all to future genera
tions. Moreover. the offspring inherit
nate or recede-in definite arithmetic
numbers.
Two kinds OF peas, one with long
pods and the other with short. when
crossed have all long pods in the next next
mated. the second generation after
that will have three long pods to one
short.
How Heredity Unitcs.
Short pods mated together will give
pure race thereafter Of short pods,
and the long ones thus mated will give
one race of all long pods and two other
races Of offspring in each four Of which
there will be three long ones and one
short one.
Similarly. as DR.. Raymond Pearl has
recently found. II in flock of Barred
Plymouth Rock chickens. there are
any hens that lay many winter eggs
and these are mated. the next gene,
ration of hens from this crossing will
have very few layers Of winter eggs
but the second generation will have
one in every four hens a large winter
egg layer and three poor. ones. This

Any time, any color. any material,

is the secret. Nothing but cheese

The business end of the propo-
sition Is the point that polymuriel

parties cannot fright 1t. Golf,
bridge or tango suit it perfectly.
In fact, it sounds very much like
mans sack suit. No more changing
clothes every time a woman turns
round. And no more fashions-ah.
there's the rub! Only one lady ever
succeeded in such a campaign. and
even the original inventor OF the
polymuriel gave up the fad shortly
after she came back to the city
from her brief summer in the
Garden OF Eden.

loves me. for he said that he
