Trying to Lose Clara Barton

Mrs. John A. Logan, widow of the
great general and statesman, is insis-
tent that fitting memorial shall be
erected in Washington. in honor OF
Clara Barton, who not only was one Of
the first American women to relieve
suffering on fields Of battle, but who
likewise originated the idea Of the Red
Cross Society. The magnificent mar
BILE temple of the society, now in the
course OF construction. is conspicuous
by the absence Of any tribute or recog-
milton of its founder. The society did
not welcome the suggestion that bust
or statue of Miss Barton should be
placed within the building. Mrs. Lo-
gan and few other patriotic women,
who are free from petty jealousies and
envy, propose to erect a fitting memo
rial to the memory of Miss Barton, and
probably it will take the form Of a
Greek temple.

Is Carnegie's Gold Clean?

Andrew Carnegie set aside $12, 000,-
900 in fifty year, FIVE per cent gold
bonds Of the United States Steel Cor
poration, and something more than
100000 in other securities, and
provided that the income should be
used to standardize" the fcommon
school system Of the United States.
The annual report Of the Carnegie
Foundation complains that people in
Missouri apparently do not relish Mr..
Carnegie's methods, and true to their
reputation, they wish to be shown"
A lot of distinguished professors thru
out the country have been retired on
foundation pensions. These !. gentle
men and their friends are very much
in favor of the manner in which some
Of the Carnegie wealth is being dis
tributed.

Tobacco as a "War Baby"

A great many honest men believe
that tobacco is not a necessity, that
it is injurious to the human system.
Most women think the same way, and
yet tobacco is one of the war babies"
and the governments at war are fur
nishing their soldiers and sailors with
ample quantities OF it. The largest
tobacco transportation contract in his
tory has recently been closed, and it
provides for carrying $4,000, 900
pounds from this country to France
during the months of July and August.
The tobacco comes from Kentucky,
and it will be shipped in hogsheads,
Of which there will be $4,000 the total
shipment weighing i l, 700 tons. The
tobacco is shipped in leaf form to the
French government. Very likely
when the next set Of moving pictures
comes out, showing How France
Prepared, this tobacco will appear in
the films, and the probabilities are
that the patriots who prepare. it for the
French soldiers. to chew. and smoke
will be the women and girls of the
country. A shipment of 5000 tons
of the recent purchase will be sent to
France during the first week of July
and the steamship Kristen will be
renamed Lady Nicotine" in honor
Of the unusual cargo which will be
carried.

Movies and Saloons

1t is claimed on behalf of the Motion
picture that they are improving the
public morals, and a speaker at the
West Side Y. M. c. A. in New York,
demonstrated that 500 saloons were
put out of business by the movies last
year. He asserted that in manufac-
turing centers like Lynn, Troy and
Schenectady morals have been greatly
improved because of picture houses.
Between nine and twelve millions of
persons in the United States go to the
movies every day, and the industry
took in last year more than $35, 100000.

WASHINGTON LETTER
BY Special Correspondent ]. K. Jones
Philippine Freedom

Freedom for the Philippines has
failed. The Democratic platform
adopted at Baltimore was emphatic on
this question, and the Wilson Admin
istration kept faith by placing the
matter clearly before Congress. There
is no question but that Congress obeyed
the expressed will of the American
people when it refused to cut its wards
loose. 1t is said that the Philippine
delegate to Congress regards his life
as having been a failure, because he
has been unable-but wholly thru no
fault of his own-to gain the consent
of the United States, for self-government
for his islands. Senator Hitchcock,
Chairman of the Philippine Committee,
has announced, after a conference with
President Wilson, that no effort will be
made to embody in the Philippine
legislation pending in Congress, a pro-
vision setting a definite date for indie
pendence in the islands. The Phil
ippines are to be given greater degree
Of self-government. But this is all
they need expect for some time to
emma

to know why the Standard Oil Com

more a COLON for kerosene than is
charged by its competitors. One oil
the commissioners says that one Of the
underlying causes of the generalization
is that the Standard Oil Company, Of
Indiana, does not compete in Ohio.
The indications all point to the con-
clusion that the unscrambling OF the
Standard Oil Trust did not entirely
"unscramble.'

Germany and Our Flag

AS a result Of the inability of local
committees in different parts Of the
country to secure small silk flags, it has
come to light that whatever suffering
may have been caused in consequence
to American patriotism, may be at
tributed to Germany. 1t has been dis
covered that very large percentage o.
the small silk flags used in the United
States are made in Germany" and
that the war has cut off shipments.

This mixture removes such surprising

OF Interest TO Women
BODICE OF ONE COLOR, SKIRT OF ANOTHER.
BY ANNE R1TrENHoUsE.
.,popdence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, October 30-For many
years the carrying out OF q one-color
scheme from hat to shoes was synony-
nous with good dressing. To have
everything matching was the sartorial
ideal of every woman interested In
clothing as clothes and not a covering
from the weather. But we have
changed all that, too. Women whose
widest fight to color fancy was the
placing of a green wing on g. brown
hat, began daringly to iuggle the pal
cite of Bakst himself in their gar
ments and II our ideas are somewhat
less variegated than they were year
or SO ago. we still claim the privi-
leges of our color emancipation procla-
nation. BE just as gorgeous as you
think your complexion will allow"
says fashion to the woman whose per
sonal inclination runs to bright shades.
Evening gowns are more polychro-
matte than ever. The adjectives sump-
tuous and gorgeous are overworked to
describe their Haunting brilliancy. But
out Of doors we are more discreet. The
shades which were popular at the be-
ginning of the last century, rich dark
blues, green's of the bottle variety,
browns, purples and reds OF the various
wines. such as burgundy and claret. are
first chioce for street suits. Side by
side with these strong colors are those
which the painter calls the weak ones,
olives. dull blues and tans mixed with
grays. The exponents of the clear
and call them muddy and other OPP
probious names. but there are certain
complexions to which they are more
becoming than anything else.
Here is combination which would
not meet with the approval of an i'm
pressionist. or a futurist either, or the
disciple of any modern school of color
for that matter; yet which Is bound to
enhance the beauty of just the right
type of clear complexion, and bright
costume Of olive brown broadcloth,
another fabric which has been given a
new lease of life by the arbiters of
such things.
Some years ago the only possible
choice Of a blouse to wear with this
killed skirt and belted coat would
have been chiffon or silk Of the same
shade. But what do you think the de-
signer selected in this case? Black
satin! Black satin for a whole waist,
when one of the cardinal points of the
old rubric Of good dressing was to
keep the waist lighter in tone than the
skirt! To be sure. the curse is taken
Off with silver braid, and plentiful
embroidery done in tan colored silk.
But tradition is shattered just the
same.
Note that the blouse portion extends
below the normal waist line, for that
is the proper place for blouses to come
to an end. according to the latest
rulings of the game. Here the edges
are turned up with the olive cloth, and
the whole thing is held trim with a
narrow belt, which ends in silver tas-
sells, at one side
The coat has a shoulder yoke, and is
plated at the sides into belt 1t is
