SCHOOL CAFETERIA
OPENED TO PUPILS

The 1900 cafeteria for the Rock Is
land high school opened today in full
swing 1t is said to be the best in the
city and, in order to accommodate the
great number of pupils that will now
eat their lunches at the school be-
cause of the short time in which to
go home and the excellent facilities
at the school, Principal A J. Burton
issued a statement explaining the
method of procedure which will be in
force with the opening of the system
His statement is in part as follows:
In order to handle the great num-
Der who take lunch in the commons, it
is necessary to divide the fifth period
pupils into two groups. All whose
last names begin with the letter A to
l. will pass to the lunch room at IL,
all others will go to the assembly hall.
At 1920 all those who have finished
their lunch will pass to the assembly
hall or leave the building and those in
the assembly hall will pass to the
commons. Those in the fifth period
classes will pass to the commons at
12:45. The regular passing time will
be given at the close of all noon per-
iods. Students who expect to remain
in the building must pass promptly
to the assembly hall and those who
leave the building must leave in the
regular time. No students are ex-
pected in the halls during the noon
periods except at passing times

Victim of Recent Accident at
Twenty-F0urth Street.

The mystery concerning the identity
of the man seriously injured in an
auto accident at Twenty-fourth street

kins and his residence as Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa. He explained that he had
been in Davenport and was walking
to Moline when he was run down by
the auto. Further than this he had
nothing to say, and was not inclined
to be laxative The machine was
driven by Leroy Wilson of Davenport.
Wilson, who was arrested, furnished
$500 bonds and was released. His
case has been continued indefinitely.
DR.. A. n. Mueller, who is attending
Hawkins, stated today that his patient
had improved considerably and that
his chances for complete recovery
were bright. Hawkins sustained a
slight conclusion and is suffering
from the shock. He was unconscious
for SO hours.

FASHION SHOW IN
CHICAGO OPENED
Artists, Designers and M0distes Gath
er to Dictate Styles of Milady for
Coming Season.

Chicago, March 13.-Is the hoop
skirt coming or is it going? Will mi
lady wear her skirts just above the
shoe top or-well-a little higher or
lower? These are a few of the ques-
tons that will be debated in Chicago
this week by artists, designers and
modistes from all parts of the coun-
try who are coming to attend the Ma
tional Fashion Exposition, given by
the Fashion-Art League of America.
The organization contends that its
members set the advance fashions for
women of this country. They assert
they also are striving to show that
America has reached the place where
it is free from the dictations of Paris
in styles.
The convention opened today but the
designers will not show the new fash
ions until Tuesday or Wednesday
when they will be on exhibition in the
ball rooms of two big Michigan avenue
hotels. There will be display of mod
els direct from Paris, to show the cam
parison between the fashions of the
two countries.
Mrs. John Alden Carpenter, society
woman and artist of New York and
Chicago; Bell Armstrong Whitney,
fashion expert of Paris Professor
William Sargent, director of the art
department, University of Chicago;
Professor George William Egers, head
of the graphic arts department of the
Chicago Normal college, and Carl y.
Werntz, president of the Academy OF
Fine Arts, are among the speakers who
will tell the American women what
they should wear, from an artistic
standpoint.
The Gossard trophy, which goes to
! the designer showing the most stylish
group will be awarded Tuesday night
/ by jury composed Of fashion experts
and editors of fashion magazines.
! Madam ALA Ripley, president of tbs
Fashion-Art League of America, said
today: Undoubtedly the American
/ influence is having marked effect or
/ the fashions of the world. The new
styles to be shown at our exposition
will bring in several novelties The
barrel skirt will be shown for thu
first time. This is a silhouette of thu
1860 period. but greatly changed t

among the new styles for the spring
and summer wear of the ultra fash
ionable according to the five hundred
or more modistes from all parts of
the country who gathered here today
for the semi-annual convention of the
Fashion-Art League of America.
The convention opened this morn
ing and the details of women's dress
were taken up at once as part of the
business session. That the full skirt
will prevail and that there will be no
radical changes, seemed to be the pre-
vailing sentiment. The barrel" skirt,
so-called because the waist and the
bottom of the skirt are narrower than
it is at the knees, thus giving the out
line from which it gets its name, will
be the latest innovation for afternoon
and morning wear.
The beehive" form of skirt is more
pronounced in the evening gowns be-
cause of more width at the bottom for
dancing while a combination of effects
at the corsage and the sleeves, which
will be elbow length. give butterfly
touch to the costume for formal wear.
The visiting modistes were welcom-
ed by Nine. ALA Ripley, president OF
the Fashion-Art League of America
and after lectures today the showing
of $50 original American designed
gowns will take place tomorrow in

Harlan in Illinois Is
Out for Col. Roosevelt

CHICAGO, March 3.-With the inten-
tion of advancing the candidacy OF
The oiore Roosevelt. John Maynard
Harlan has announced his campaign for
delcgate-at-large to the Republican ma
tional convention.
Neutral right has been houted by
bclligerent might throughout the world,
Harlan said in his opening address.
american citizenship has fallen to a
heavy discount everywhere. This ma
tion is now in real peril-a peril all the
greater because many do not reaiize
that II exists.
at is the patriotic duty of the people
of Illinois to see to II that. when the
critical hour shall come for casting the
final ballot at the Republican conven-
tion, the mandate to the Illinois dele
gates shall be to vote solidly, not to
crafty state pride or express personal
choice but to supply the need OF the
nation.
THAT need is for a man whose fame
and standing are nationwide and world
wide. the very presence of whom In
the White House would be as a sword
and buckler against foreign aggression.
That man is Theodore Roosevelt,
Theodore Roosevelt can unite and
solidify every class of our citizenship.

employment for their soldiers troop
ing back from the battlefield. Some
will do il to raise revenues.
But though all Of them for one
reason or another will build walls
against foreign products, not one OF
them will fail to make the markets
of the United States the target Of
commercial attack.
We have been talking about con-
Guering the markets Of the world
while the powers Of Europe were at
one another's throats; but after the
war, we shall have to fight harder
than ever to stay in European mar
kets which we have regarded as our
own for generations.
II we must lose one part Of our
export trade because it is now made
up of munitions, and another part
because, though it is made up Of
products Of peace, the doors Of
Europe will be locked against them,
we surely shall not leave our tariff
gates wide open without an thrush Of
imports which will sweep this coun-
try bare of its greatest and richest
industries.

MR.. WILSON'S STAND RIGHT

Mr.. Wilson is dead right to insist,
in the matter Of his Congress chal-
lenge on the question of armed mer-
chantmen, that a mere vote OF con-
fidence in him will not satisfy the
situation. Whether anybody agrees
or disagrees with the Presidents
position regarding armed merchant
men, every fair-minded person must
agree with him in his demand upon
Congress.
He did not ask the acting chair
man. of the Rules Committee of the
House for a perfunctory Endorsement
of his course He demanded OF the
members of the House and Of the
Senate who have boasted that they
had the votes to pass a resolution
warning Americans off armed ships
and that they were in favor Of doing
this very thing, showdown.
If they have the votes they said
they had and if they dare use those
votes the way they said they would
he wants them to stand up and cast
them. If they haven't the votes, OF
If they dare not use them that way
he wants Congress to let the Ameri-
can people and the German govern
ment know it.
The Berlin foreign Office has been
led to believe that the United States
Congress, on this question of the
submarines and armed merchantmen
is with the German government and
against the American government
If it is true that Congress is against
the American Government and with
the German government, the Ameri'
can people want to know the fact
II It isn't true, nothing can be more
important to the American people
than for Congress to let the German
government know the fact. The only
way to do this is to force vote ir
Congress on that single, direct ques
ton.
