London, April 20.--Another appeal
to the government to take the country
further into it's confidence is contained
in an editorial in The Times which
points out. that except for local sue

that changes in the battle line during
that period both on the eastern and
western; fronts, hardly would be
noticed by the map maker while the
official statements regarding the
Dardanelles operations leave much to
be desired.

Woman.

The smallest money order ever made
out by the agent for the local express
company was given to woman to pay
on an account owed to mail-order
house. according 10 q Blackwell story
printed In the Ardmoreite. The WON.
an had received letter from the mail
order house notifying her that she
owed the firm two cents. Indignant
and unable to realize the spirit that
would prompt anyone to mail a bill
for two cents. the woman decided that
a post Office stamp would not sufiice
and that only money order would do.
The fee for the order was three cents
and the postage stamp necessary to
carry It cost two cents more. SO that
with the two-cent postage stamp that
carried the bill to the woman seven
cents was expended in collecting 4
two-cent debt.-Kansas City Journal.

Some OF this seasons underbodices
are merely pretty, and others are sim
ply practical. but here are two that
a. both pretty and practical What
Z further in their favor is the fact
thst they are simplicity itself when 1t
comes to the making Of them.
The seasons sheer blouses OF thin
crepe, chiffon and lace or net, require
more than the usual attention to un.
derbodices. In fact some blouses are
very sheer and very plain, merely veil
ing a dainty and elaborate bodice,
which is made as alluringly pretty as
possible. IS. ~. -.
At the left of the picture a bodice
Ii shown, made Of a wide embroidery
bouncing in open eyelet work pattern.
It is a good, wellwoven piece of lawn
embroidery, and the garment is edged
with q narpow-scalloped edging Of
clupy lace. A sample Of this lace
Is shown at the bottom of the picture.
Machine-made cluny of linen thread is
cheap and will outlast, usually, the
garment it trims. Another very du-
rable lace is shown in the torchon edg-
ngs of cottca that are as durable as
cTuny. in fact they do not wear out.
In cutting this underbodice, the pat
tern is laid on the founcing in such
war that the front pieces overlap.

the use of wolfe for the outer dress.
This idea was the introduction OF

that the idea will be reprod iced in

NO MODEL LICENSE LAW.

NO MODEL LICENSE LAW.
Major Dan Morgan Smith was for
four years general counsel Tor the
Model License league The following
parag1 apis from an address Of his
shows why he threw up that position
and is now speaking and working for
prohibition.
For four years l advocated the pas

means OF lessening the evils OF drink

Was / wrong? l shall never

ers to defeat reform!
THE model license law was effec.
cleaned out one dive, never effected
one reform. for, although advocated in
every fight against prohibition in the
last six years, 1t has never been en-
acted in any place. Its advocacy has
fooled more decent people into voting
with the liquor crowd than all the spe-
cious nonsense about taxes and per-
sonal liberty put together. Can We
expect laws from the liquor camp
that will eliminate the dive, or lessen
drunkenness or stop the sale Of liquor
to minors? Can we expect brewery
agents to pass laws that will take
away the license OF brewery-owned
saloons? Can We expect legislators,
nominated and elected by the brewery
interests, to pass laws that will take
the liquor business out OF politics?
No, the only thing we can expect from
the liquor people is just what we hare
received in the past-lying promises.
