WAR TIME PRODUCES
STRANGE ENGLISH MODES

London, Aug. 23.--The tyranny OF
feminine fashion. strange as 1t may
seem at this terrible time of war in
England, Is more apparent now and
Is steadily increasing.
The womenfold OF the English work
ing and middle classes and munition
workers, some of whom are earning
as much as $50 week, fiaunt their
wealth. Their costumes are the lat
est and the smartest that the great
Paris houses can supply. and their
persons are bedecked with jewelry.
On the other hand. the grand
dame" OF society has adopted a more
simple and sombre type of dress, and
clothes herself with economy.

the issues which affect not only
men but women also. The great
problems Of our country are ma
tional. In the matter of the
railroads, for example, forty
six different sets of laws for
their regulation merely check
and handicap their development
and management. A universal
federal law is essential for rail
roads. In the same way the
question of the enfranchisement
of women has become national
and demands federal action.
therefore heartily indorse any
federal amendment which shall
substantially provide:
l. That the right Of the cit
izen of the United States to vote
shall not be denied, or abridged,
by the United States on account
of sex.
2. Congress shall have pow
er and it shall be the duty of
Congress to enact appropriate
legislation to enforce the pro-
visions of this article.
