CLOTURE in U. S. SENATE

Cloture isn't something to hang clothes on. Nor
is it an obstruction on the brain. Nor yet part Of
the plumbing of the capitol at Washington.
When Senator Owen tries to force Cloture rule
on the United States senate it means that he is try
ing to put limit to the time member consume
in making speech.
A Cloture is a shut-off, stop-gap on the frailty
of congressman to gain political advantage by kill
ing time.
A Cloture kills the filibuster. 1t means less poll
tics in congress and more business.

"why don't the women buy few yards of stuff and sit at home and make them selves a little waist during the time they have been standing at the bar gain counter getting irritated and ner- 1, vous--one of large crowd. 1t makes me sad when think that in many cases these little blouses do not last the time it has taken to earn the money to pay for them. The result too, is that women have no indivio-
 uality in their clothing; everything they have on looks as if it came out of the same shop.
 And underclothing! Sometimes l feel tempted to buy little shop made nightsown, but I examine fl closely and I see that it would per, haps last a hundredta part of the washings my home made one will do, and then, too, this will be one I should be afraid to be found dead in in the morning" smiled.

Look at our streets--tners comes change of fashion and. pres to! every woman instead of wearfng a narrow-sieeved coat, wears a wide sleeved one. always ask myself what happens to those thousands and thousands of narrow-sleeved coats?

(By. Alice. Franc in New York
 Tribune. )
 "Cheapness never made bargain, economize. no matter how much you have to spend" says Mrs Theodore Richards, efficiency expert of the Housewives league, whoee headquar- ters are at 25 West Forty Sixth street. A touch of paradox drives her point home.
 The American woman doesn't want to be thought mean so she doesn't economize. To save money by careful buying takes trouble. And she doesn't like trouble. Why, French woman could run house hold on what the average American houshold wastes
 Mrs. Richards, ehicient from finger tip to tongues end, looking every inch her title of expert makes the in- dictment. Then for a moment she re- Tents.
 Economy an Indoor Sport.
 "Perhaps," she says, If the utter foolishness of waste were a lesson from kindergarten on the coat to the home that the girl who misses that Fundamental lesson incurs would not be so shockingly great.
 If, like me, they had been mad to think about that question from early youth they would have a fairer vision of economy, not as hardship but as worpan's great household game.
 And 1t is that" she said just that-and great deal of fun when you do it we'll. 1t is a thing we should play at here ;n the city par ticulariy, for city life is most deter iorating. 1t as at once too alluring and state of satisfaction is not to be reached. Ii is the metropolitan mirage.
 Women in the country have free- dom of space, and with freedom of body they fall naturally into an ex- pansiveness of mind that doesn't come to the lady of a bandbox apart mert. How can women be good housekeepers in little city flats? They are things that inspire restlessness. They inspire to state of moving in and moving out and moving in again. and peace never comes to them under their dininutive roofs. All that is tho matter is that they are cooped up. But they don't realize that"
 Bakers Bread . Menace.
 Why are women living alone so unkind to themselves? asks Mrs. Richards. Why should men in a family seem the only thing to cook for?
 Women come home tired and aj- most too worn out to eat--and what nourishment do they give their poor starved bodies? Bread and butter and a cup of tea--invariably! And at that bakers bread! If women only knew the harm bakers bread did them--and bread is so simple to bake at home. You should see the loaf I baked this morning" she asked re- fectively, gleam of pride in her eye.
 No time?' murmured.
 French for Rag.
 Why, women waste much more time than it would take to bake their bread over other things from which they get absolutely no results. Look at the thousands of women who will spend a whole morning at the bargain counters buying blouse for a dollar or so which is not fit to wear. I S. e.
