GOVERNOR cARLSoN's
INAUGURAL ADDRESS

The Star has noted carefully the
comment from the entire press, Re-
publican, Independent and Democrat
ic, and there have been only words
of commentator for what he said.
He promised no immediate millennium,
he made no boasting, no cock-sured-
ness, but only declared for safe and
sane administration, fulfilling, as far
as human exigency would allow, the
platform promises made in the cam
paign. We know that Gov. Carlson
will accomplish these ends if hard
work, honesty, efficiency and patriot
ism can do it. If the end is to be
judged by his modest and progressive
beginning, the governorship cannot
hold him in 1916.

THE LINcoLN-DoUGLAS SANA-
TORIUM NOTES..

There is an awakened interest In
the efforts to establish cOnsumptive
sanatorium for Negroes. The Women s
Clubs are giving the plea an import
ant place in their proceedings and
some of them have undertaken definite
steps to help in establishment of the
institution. The officers of the Asso-
citation have had a number of calls to
speak before various clubs, as for ex-
ample, DR.. Spratlin spoke before Taxa
Art Club, Drs. Westbrook and Jones
before the City Federation and the
Pond Lille Art Club had Dr. c. d.
Spivak in their recent Sunday after
noon effort at Zion. This last meeting
is deserving of more than passing
notice. DR.. Spivak, who made the
principal address at the meeting is a
man whose heart is in this kind of
work and as secretary OF the organ
ization that maintains the West Col
fax Jewish Sanatorium he is perhaps
the best informed man in the city on
ways and means of promoting this
work. He is also thoroughly sincere
and the most effective speaker on the
subject that we have ever heard. The
Art Clubs meeting was small in at
tendance but large in results. For
besides the profound and inspiring ad-
dress of DR.. Spivak, the simple and
frank statement of the Rev. D. E..
Over as to his past attitude towards
the effort and his present and future
willingness to be a positive factor In
its future development was feature
Of the afternoo-. His plea for the
cause brought results to the efforts OF
the ladies and many gave cash mem
berships, larger number subscribing
to pay in their dollar before the final
big membership rally, Feb. 18th. rms
particular club has undertaken to give
$25 to the establishing of the sana-
torium and their first public effort
gave most satisfactory results.
Besides the Women's Clubs efforts
and the thirty workers, published In

Comfort and Smartness

takes the form of cap OF silk to
match the sweater, and these are by
lar the most convenient of them all.
However, this cap does not afford
any protection to the eyes, and so
brimmed hat OF silk or linen is better
for use on the water or on the sands
of the shore
Sports skirts are admirable in cut.
The slight flare which they show is
highly becoming. They are some
times made with pockets, usually with
stitched belts OF a somewhat decora-
tive nature. In fabrics for these
skirts there arc Palm Beach cloth,
linen, corduroy, golfine, pique. Golfnc
is durable and does not show wrin-
kles as linen does, neither does it
need constant trips to the laundry.
There is very good washable cordu
roy in colors, by means OF which the
advantages OF a dark skirt and
wash skirt are combined.
Sports blouses are much on the or
der of the original shirtwaist, al
though the separate, stiff linen collar
is not often worm Striped handker-
chief linen, colored or white linen
and wash silk in plain white or strip
cd, arc all used. Pockets are often
employed for decoration and the
sleeves are usually long, with but
toned cuffs. There are some pretty
sports blouses, too, of knitted silk
fabric, that serve for both blouse and
jacket.
And sports shoes, Nobody has
ever seen such wonders in the way
of footgear as those OF today since
the time when lawmakers had to pass
law forbidding the wearing OF
shoes more than six inches wide at
the toe. There is no danger today of
crowding the sidewalks with our
boots and shoes. There is only dan
ger of outrivaling the frocks we wear
for color and originality.

element of prettiness will probably
be more strongly marked as the sum-
mer advances.
The new hats are far prettier than
the small hats that have been in
vogue for so many seasons. The
small hats, be sure, arc still in vogue.
But now one may choose big hat if
that is more becoming. And where
as the small hats were smarter, the
large hats are prettier.
But it would seem that women
have become so used to an unob-
structcd view OF things above and be-
fore her that the large brim is re-
stricting some OF her acquired priv
ilegcs. So many of the large hats are
made with transparent brims. and
others have sections of transparency
set into the otherwise Opaque brims.
Rather odd these hats look, with
their little brim windows OF net or
chiffon. But they are real hats, new
erthelesS.
Leghorn hats are fashionable, and
for that every woman who loves the
picturesque will be glad. For never
was there a woman who did not look

TWO EXTREMES THAT MEET IN SUMMER CLOTHES

attractive in a leghorn hat becom-
ingly trimmed. OF course, the hair
must be carefully dressed with these
new large hats. If it was neatly ar
ranged under small hat, that was
about all that was demanded. But
now II must be more deliberately and
none the less neatly dressed.
There are some ridiculously small
hats, OF the bonnet order, that sharp
ly recall the 1870 period of dress.
These are charming with some of the
new frocks, worn by just the right
persons. But they are not for every
body. just as the smart and diminu-
tive toque type of hat has not been
becoming to everybody.
The new styles are probably no
better and no worse than the styles
of most other years. They are new.
and that is the requisite of successful
styles. And, in addition, the frocks
OF today and many OF the hats have
an element of prettiness that the
frockS OF last summer and the sum-
mcr before did not have If we have
to depend on our sports clothes for
smartness, we must not complain.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-06-06

1t is said that the sedate black shoe
is to return to favor before very long.
But certain it is that elaborate foot
wear for sports is to be the rule. this
summer The white buckskin and
canvas shoes are banded and laced
and buttoned and striped with color
bright red, purple, green and blue.
And when the trimming color on the
shoes matches the bright color OF the
silk sweater, worn over a white skirt
and blouse, the effect is decidedly
picturesque.
Where EIaborn' ness Comes In.
These sports clothes have the
smartness that comes chiefly from
simplicity. Clothes worn at other
times are smart-not so smart, to be
sure, as they have been at some other
times when they were not so pretty
but their smartness depends in no
way on simplicity. For they are any
thing but simple They are elabor-
ated with every device known to the
dressmaking art. Instead OF being
smart, indeed, many OF the new
frocks are frankly pretty, and this

Two extremes meet in the clothes
of the summer of IoI5-simplicity
and elaborateness.
Most of the new clothes are elab-
crate in the extreme. They show
much trimming. The long lengths OF
fabric that for several years have
been deity draped without much cut
ting are now slashed and cut and
tucked and pleated and ruffled into
the desired shape. But the sports
pie, practical and comfortable More
over, they are quite the Smartest and
have been in vogue since the athletic
American girl came into prominence.
Surely nothing has ever been made
In the way of sweater more charm
ing than the fur-banded, silk-mcshed
sweaters of this summer. Some of
them, of brilliant colors, with collars,
cuffs and hens OF sable or some 9TH
er dark fur, are admirable for morn
ing wear. Those OF pink, pale blue
and white, trimmed with white fur,
thin in texture, long, held in at the
waistline with sash, arc charming
with summer afternoon and evening
frocks.
The silk sweaters OF all sorts, too,
are very attractive. And OF course
for most OF us the fur-trimmed ones
are out OF the question. A plain
bright yellow, red, blue or green
sweater for a morning on the golf
links, for canoeing, tennis or any 9TH
er summer sport is quite charming
enough. And those OF plaids and
stripes are pretty, too. There are
wide scarfs to go with them, and
these may be used either at the waist
or about the neck When they are
used for sashes they are usually tied
in a simple knot at the front.

James Keir Hardie, the British labor
leader, whose death is announced.
never relinquished his working-class
garb, and many were the occasions
when his rough attire led to mistakes
on the part of others. One story is
that Keir Hardie, then many years an
M. P, was challenged by policeman
outside the house of commons. The
officer asked Mr.. Hardie if he was
working there. Yes" "On the roof"
(Which was undergoing repair. NO."

other time a landlady refused to let
him have rooms until he gave refer

woman was astonished when Mr. Har-
die named number of the most prom

rested in Belgium few years ago on

had detained. The Belgian police new

Ashestos of Great Value.

Asbestos is a potential life-saver.
Its incombustibility and its fbrous
structure make it one of the most use
full minerals-for such it is-for
many and various purposes. Nearly
every theater curtain is now made of
asbestos. Though it primarily is of
rock substance it is converted into
soft and pliable condition, as easy to
work with as cotton or wool. The
material is used in making lumber,
roofing, plaster and stucco. Aside
from it's incombustibility. asbestos has
another virtue in its power as a non
conductor. and persons living in a
house wherein asbestos forms part
of the material are assured of comfort
in extreme heat or cold.
