brush and comb.
A baby's outfit Is also IA charming
gift TO young mother. The carriage
blanket might be crocheted OF pink
worsted Of the heavier quality If the
present is for boy and blue If a girl
Is to use the dainty articles. Pure white
is Of course sweetest Of all for a wee
baby, but white soils very quickly and
washes badly. The blanket should be
square and quite large and may have
stripes Of pink and white with a white
border and pink shells. The cap should
be OF pink, with white shells, edged
with pink and tied with pink rib
bon. A frosting Of pink silk is added
by claiming eleven stitches to every
nve on the cap, crossing every alter
nate row. This over the single
zephyr is very soft and pretty. The
bootees should be made In white for
the soles and sides and pink for the
instep and leg, worked In single stitch
to within short distance Of the top.

Words Abou. the Useful Gift.

A useful present Is sometimes de-
fusion and a snare. not alone falling OF
It's purpose, but even entailing disas-
trOus consequences.
The present useful TO the giver Of
ten circulates among the members of
the same family, particularly If they
live I'm the same house. A man receives
an armchair, for instance, and a WON
an some towels. These gifts are not
primarily intended to please the re-
cipient, but the giver intends to get
full use out Of them. Thus the father
Of the family is often presented with
a library table or an icebox. One wo-
man in particular gave her husband
a lawn mower and garden hose for
Christmas; another spent her money
buying carving knife.

where alternate rows OF pink and
white in double stitch, with white
shells edged in pink, form a charming
finish. The little mittens should be of
white, with pink and white wristlets
and edge.
The sack is not so easy to make.
IL Is formed Of back piece and two
front pieces, narrowing at the neck and
graduated about the armholes. The
pink sack needs white border with
a pink edge and pink ribbons to match
those on the cap. To make 1t very
warm crochet a white sack inside the
pink one, sewing them together when
finished or they can be interlined with
wool. This Is better in the case of a
long cloak, which may be lined with
two thicknesses Of china silk interlined
with lambs wool.

By GLENN CONDON
(Staff CORRESPONDENT

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb 10-''1'he truth of the
matter is that the various appropriations to be made
by this legislature will be larger than the appropriations
years ago The appropriations then were greater
than those two years before that Is 1t not significant
that Haskell elected governor by plurality of 81,
600 votes which dropped to 21000 for Crce and finally
10 5000 for Willams?'
This statement from the lips Of a Democratic
member of the house of representatives today.
1t marked the beginning of the fight to reduce taxes
The Mti-apprOpliation men won the first engage
ment by narrow margin of five votes.
Thirteen members were absent. Had they been
present the bill would have been passed. according to
W. A. Durant chairman of the appropriations commit
tee and champion of the bill that brought the breach
in the Democratic ranks.
Durant changed his vote from "aye" to ''nO" for
the purpose of lodging motion to reconsider the vote
by which the bill lost and it will up again on
the next legislative day
Today's incidents in the house were the most signf
icant that have transpred at this session Of the egsa
ture, as far as the taxpayer is concerned
The bill that preciptated the break and brought
out the truth concerning the ECONOMY program was
house bill No. 354 by McCoster of the house and Car
penter of the senate apprOprang $4,000 to complete
the east cell wing at the Granite refOnnatory
Would Be Another Pen.
During the heated debate Oh the bill it charged
that the Granite refomatory" is not reform school
at all but branch of the state pententary 1t was as
serted that this and other proposed appropriations for
the institution part Of the program to establish
second and distinct state penentiary.
Tears shed by competent sob artists upon the
floor of the house who pleaded for buildings that would
accommodate the unfortunate youth who sent to
the refomatOry," but these tears turned into
pressons of disgust few moments later when Op-
ponens of the bill pointed out that and not boys
were sent to the Granite institution.
Representative Hensley of Canadian county, Dem
Ocrat declared that these Expressions of sympathy"
should be saved for the Zone thousand unfortnates who
confined in the fire trap at Norman that they call the
insane asylum" Incidentally he gave notice that he
would strenuously oppose any appropriation for the
purchase of the Norman santarum such as is pro-
posed by certain leaders in the senate and the house.
