A fairy-like little dancing frock is
this of white crepe de chine with
"crispy" ruffles of fine white tulle
over others of the same material in a
rosebud pink. The modish effect of
narrow shoulders is cleverly effected
by the shaping and adjusting of the
ruffles which serve in lieu of sleeves.

McADOO,s COTTON SCHEME.

TINE announcement by Secretary McAdoo OF his pur-
pose to loan without interest, S30O0ooOo in gold
to three Southern Federal Reserve Banks with the
purpose Of enabling them in turn to lend this money
on cotton warehouse receipts, has brought forth the
charge that such step is both unnecessary and flu
tile and can be designed for purpose other than to
make political capital
This is the view practically all the bankers and
fnancers who recall that year ago Mr. McAdoo
caused to be raised S1OOOooo0O cotton pool when
was total failure almost part of the fund being
used after it was raised and the results being RI
dicuious as TO make the men interested ashamed to
make public the Of their expenses which they
paid out of their pockets rather than reveal the
extent of the hasco.
II is contended by those interested that the Southern
banks are in no need of funds beyond what they can
easily procure from their regular banking cores
pcndens and that the proposition to lend them $780,
100000 of government funds is merely petty scheme
for currying political favor

beneficiaries.
Sound in theory, but alas in prac-
teal application most lamentable!
Instead Of an increase in government
expenditure there was involved a
wanton saving running far into The
millions by substituting the automo-
bile for the one horse shay. Aud how
was this saving effected? BY nothing
more or less Than rendering super
fous the services of thousands Of
able bodied voters!
Not to be wondered at that there
were protests; that the Congressman
heard from their constituents. heard
from them vehemently. And the
postmaster general as well as poll
ticians of great influence in practical
ly all the districts threatened with
this blow inflicted right on the eve
of important elections. So the rumor,
not yet officially confirmed but per-
sistent and credited. is that automo-
bile rural mail delivery stops short.
Strange that the head OF a govern
ment department, particularly the
head of the postohice department,
should overlook so fundamental
principle of all government owned
and operated industries as the one
making absolutely imperative the dis
bursement of taxpayers money along
broad and bountiful lines OF scientific
superiority and waste.

Sir Edward GREY has chosen an
unusual and surprising way OF an
swering the German chancellor, but |
II was expedient that an answer |
should be made at once, and a letter |
to the press was undoubtedly the
medium test calculated to insure a
speody refutatinn of the astonishing
accusations published last week on
the supposed authority of documents
discovered in Belgium.
In a considerable measure DR.. Won
Rethmann- Hollweg has already retut-

vented or discovered, can ever by

lation of Belgian neutrality The

we thereby commit as we will try to
make good as soon as our military
aims have been attained" The docu-
ments by which It Is attempted 10
explain away this wrong can never
have any more bearing on the inci-
dent that the hypothetical explosives
which sank the Luistania so much
more quickly than the humane Ger
man torpedo was designed to sink
her
Besides. as Sir Edward Grey points
out, there is not a line in the docu-
ments to Justify the conclusions the
chancellor pretends to draw from
them This has been pointed out re-
petedly. yet again and again the
same documents are brought IN in

Germans did commit a wrong. a
wrong no less great was planned

Gus arguments are months Old now,

we are in it or whether we stand
