 V ing, so these are busy days for slils and their mothers: days of plan- hlng, shopping and getting ready.
 The girl who has been to college before-who is proud sophomore ar sophisticated junior or base senior, will need little advice about the wardrobe she is going to require. Her own Ideas on every point will be r clear and decided; but the mother of this years little freshman college girl may be bit puzzled as to just what Will be needed--and how much of if to see her daughter through until the mid winter vacation gives oppor- tunity to replenish

Of course. these splashes of bold color are care fully placed; they occur in artistic masses or skillfully located spots against backgrounds in neutral or black and white tones. One is never overpowered by color as in the era of brilliantly lowered carpets which actually leaped up to meet the eye; or in the later era of "art" plush lam brequins-one recalls that garnet em- broidered in golden yellow was a fav- ored combination of that particular period in the eighties-but here and there are artfully considered color touches; bit of yellow faience on a lockwood table, cushions in Mexican red and bronze in a brown living room a deep, deep blue Chinese vase in a pale buff drawing room, and so on It is the consummate art in color arrangement, an art that fascinates and pleases without wearying

Owing to the great output of petro- leum in California and its use as a manufacturing, railroad, and steamer fuel, the production of coal in Wash ington has been considerably reduced during recent years. It is estimated that the consumption of California oil for fuel on the Pacific Coast is equiva- lent to about 21,OOO,OOO tons of coal, or between and ' times the output of coal in Washington, or for that matter in all the Pacific Coast States in 1914.

 Rule In the Future.

Secretary McAdoo has aimed blow at the pork barrel" He issued an or der which, If enforced, will put an end to the practice of erecting costly fed eral buildings in little towns where congressman hope to garner a few votes. This form of pork barrel" has been described as the most pernicious of all. and millions of dollars have been wasted
 Other secretaries of the treasury have tried to curb expenditures in this di- rection, but have failed. Legislation has been passed, but ignored. Mir. Me AdooS effort will therefore, be watch ed with q good deal of interest His order will stir up plenty of resentment ill congress-
 The treasury officials contend that when congress passes q bill appropri- ating money for q public building it re mains discretionary, under the custom ary form of the legislation, with the executive officers as to the amount of the total appropriation that shall be expended. The usual form of the leg islation is that congress appropriates q certain amount, say $200,OO0, to be used in the erection of public build ing, the cost not to exceed the fig ureS named The treasury officials con strue the reference to cost as giving them discretion as to the amount.
 Assistant Secretary Newton made this announcement:
 Secretary McAdoo proposes hereafter to construct in a locality such a building B local conditions and the present and future needs of the service demand and not to be governed entirely by the size of the appropriation. By application of this method it is believed that hundreds of thousands of dollars will be saved in the construction of buildings already au- thorlzed by congress, but not yet report ed by the architects office
