CHAOS TO ORDER
 WILSON'S TASK
 AT WHITE HOUSE
Child Labor and Rural Credits Law Typical
 Achievements.
Special Correspondence of The
 Farmer.)

Especial Correspondence of The
 Farmcr.)
 When the Democratic party attaineu power in 1913, it faced a position of peculiar difficulty. Not merely was there a heritage of unsettled problems passed on by the Repu blican party but the party had no training in handling the government since the times of Grover Cleveland 20 years ago.
 It had been torn for many years by warning factions, It looked as if it would be impossible to hold the diff ferent elements together. Its oppon- ents were gleeful in their predictions of discord and consequent inaction.
 It was soon evident, however, that there had entered the White House a man of most extraordinary power. With superb initiative, he broke down the conventional barriers that had separated the White House and the Capitol. Previous administrations had frittered away precious years in tedious wrangles with Congress. Every session was hailed as a "Do nothing Congress" Wilson, unlike Roose- welt, never clustered nor threatened. Unlike Taft, he had a firm resolute will.
 He united discordant elements on common grounds of action,s he organ ized a spirit of team work and he got things done. It was great achieve ment in political leadership and in constructive statecraft.
 Reference can be made here to but few of the greater landmarks in this new progress. Typical of it are the child labor law, assuring to the chil- dren of the entire country immunity from degrading toll ;the antitrust act, discriminating between dangerous and beneficial processes in trade; and the rural credits law, taking long step toward relieving the farmer from usurious rates of interest.
 By these and many other but little less important statutes, Woodrow Will son has made his mark as a great constructive president, and a leader in economic advance.

Tuck~Bands on New Skirts

material that tucks actually would require. With the approach of cooler weather, broadcloth and velvet are growing in demand for smart skirts. This model, however, is suited to de- velopment in any of tho soft materials now so fashionable and looks espec- ially good in charmeuse. Nothing smarter could be desired for wear with separate waists of chiffon, net or crepe. In medium size the skirt takes 2N yards 54-inch material, if ths bands are omitted. If they are used, l yard extra will be required, The front and back gores of the skirt ere cut in panel style, while the side gores are circular. Pockets may be added if desired, there being tive styles provided with the pattern.
 It is necessary to fold the material in three sections to cut the skirt pro- perly and a study of the cutting guide will reveal the proper way to go about it. There will be only two sections if the bias bands are omit ted. These bands require 8 section te themselves and are placed diagonally on the goods just as illustrated in the cutting guide.
 The side gore, the piecing requir- ed to widen it and the pocket are laid on lengthwise fold of the next sss.. tioa of the goods. The third sectioN is folded in quarters so that the seE- wage edges meet. Both the front and back gores are laid on 2 lengthwise fold of material, while the belt is placed along the selvage of the sec finy7 foi irsr hn
 The waistline of the skirt is high and the length is the fashionable five-inch-above-ground hang. A belt of self-material finishes the waist and the ends are trimmed with tas- teis. Fur buttons are also pretty for this purpose.

A WARRIOR BOLD.

in days of old, when knights were bold And barons held their sway, A warrior bold, with spurs of gold,
 Sang merrily his lay; My love is young and fair,
 My love hath golden hair, And eyes so blue, and heart so true, That none with her compare, So what care I, though death be nigh I'll live for love or die." So this brave knight, in armor bright Went gaily to the fray; {. He fought the fight, but the the night His soul had passed away, The plighted ring he wore
 Was crushed. and wet with gore, Yet ere he died he bravely cried:
 i've kept the VOW I swore, So what care I though death be nigh, I've fought for love and died"

 Nasty love at first sight often changes by summering and wintering each other. Parents may change ob- jection. If not, they may in kindly way ask the return of your photo graph.

Everybody interested in economiz- ing on space in the home and yet greatly adding to a rooms atractive- ness will be interested in the new dis play of the Kindel divanette at Noth- nagle's home furnishing store corner Main and Elm streets. The Kindel divanettes are a splendid piece of furniture for par1or or living room and are readily convertible into al comfortable bed by simple opera ton. When it is used as divan, no stretch of the imagination can make it look like a bed; and when 1t is opened into a bed, it is a good one. Of special interest just now is the am nouncement in Nothnagle's advertise ment on last page of a club offer. making 1t possible for everyone de- siring -one of these popular pieces to procure it in such a way that the cost will not be noticed. A visit to this very popular store will reveal num- erous other things of vast interest to the home lover.-Adv.

GIRLS BE MODEST, NOT FAMILIAR

B. H. w. asks: "As readers ask aid, please. Is it permissible to write youth friendly letters? Is it ladylike to show girl friends letters received from one corresponded with? Is it proper if you go to a party and they start pillow kisses to join in? We girls are popular. good looking, not eighteen, graduate from high school"
 Nice friendly letters are all right. It's unladylike to show letters sent you in confidence, yet seeming unirn- portant. Children may play the pill low-kissing game Older girls should keep from this familiarity. Be modest and you will be successful in all gatherings. -{f

Hundreds of Bridgeporters were among the guests at the magnificent pageant given on Saturday in the Yale Bowl to celebrate the 200th an- niversary of the removal of Yale col lege from Saybrook to New Haven. A number of local persons also partici- pated in the spectacle particularly in the Death of Theodore Winthrop scene in which the G. A. R. of Connecticut had part. This was perhaps the most impressive part of the pageant be- cause of it's realism. The huge suc- cess of the affair has elated the whole city of New Haven.
 Professor Chauncey Brewster Tink- CT, of Yale addressed the members of the Graduates Association of Court land school on Shakespeare in Romance" at the residence of Mrs. Frank Hunt, 5S6 Clinton avenue at 2:30 this afternoon. This was the first lecture of the winter series given by the association.
