IN PLACE OF FURs.

Copyright. 1916. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
This g when fur has been worn
more extensively than even before by
way of trimming in every conceivable
way there has also been a revival of
scarf and muff sets that are not of any
sort OF pelt, but that are warm II eX-
ceedingly attractive.
One of the most attractive of the new
scarfs for cold weather is made Of
blanket cloth lined with a contrasting
silk and b~uttonholed around the edge
in heavy worsted to match the cloth.
With this scarf is a sailor shaped hat
lined with silk and buttonholed around
the edge of the rim M at the top Of
the crown with the worsted. One OF
these in a pretty shade of IA wn lined
with blue is especially attractive. Any
clever woman could make one OF these
skating sets with the aid of a paper
pattern. An embroidered design on the
side of the hat and on the ends Of the
scarf of some contrasting worsted
would add considerably to the effect.
For the woman who knits there are
all sorts Of possibilities in the way Of
knitted mufflers and caps, as well as
muffs. The fad for skating has brought

We Americans have a priceless heritage
10 guard-a heritage of which our need
aas never been more apparent than 1t IS
1t this hour. Tor 1t is now, when we. are
most anNiously concerned with the means
of strengthening our national defense that
we should give heed to the foundations on
which all our power rests, for the present
and for the farthest future.
For a century we had regarded our ma.
tional resources almost purely as the as
sets of a people at peace, as we regarded
our people themselves, even to tho chill
dren. But, with no change whatever in
our national devotion to the pursuits IF
peace, we have been the reluctant, ha1'-
rowed spectators of a vast tragedy abroad
and have had borne in upon US the vtt<l
lesson of the modern war. We have seen
we are still seeing-a gigantic dem on
s%tration Of the fact that, when any pAeo-
pie contemplate the possibilities of armed
conflict, they must contemplate not alone
the utilization of their navies on the s.sas
and their armies IN the land, but every
last vestige of strength that can be sum-
Inoned from their concrete wealth, their
genius for industry, their field prodte cts
their minerals, their sources of physical
energy, down to the waters that flow to
the sea.
All this we are beholding in the II agic
enactment of the vast drama; all this we
have, indeed, come to understand. But
have we, as yet, realized it? Have we
had forced upon us, after Il year and a
half of appalling demonstration, the init
mate conviction that whenever our first
lines Of defense-the navy and the army
shall be engaged with a foreign foe, we
must be prepared as we'll with all of our
real and ultimate safeguards. the sources
of power which alone can keep them in
being?
The land which we possess Is furnished
with every essential for the development
of a great people. furnished as is no coun-
try owned by others. I have reviewed, in
my recent annual report, the results of
Investigations set afoot months ago for
the ascertaining of our position as to nat
| ural resources. OF the worlds petroleum
output we produce 65 per cent; of the cop
per, 60 per cent; of the coal and iron, 40
per cent; of the lead and zinc, 80 per cent.
There is practically nothing lacking, in
the products of our mines and forests for
the construction and equipment of every
requirement throughout the range of our
industrial activities. For our soil and its
| r~eplenishment with the necessary fertil-
izers we have an ample supply of phos-
phorus. The potash for which we have
! been dependent on Germany has been

THE DECEITFUL PRINCESS.

copyright, 1916, by the Mcclure News
pape Syndicate)
Once there was a prince who wanted
a wife that could sing, and, also, she
must have raven black hair to suit lin.
He went through the country, and at
last came to the house where the man
had two daughters. One had black
hair and her name was Nella, and
the other had golden hair and her
narne was Lima.
Nella could sing like a lark, but her
sisters voice was harsh and grating.
When Lima heard the prince was
coming hat way she went to an old
witch who lived in the forest and told
her she must make her hair as black
as the raven, and for this she woul
give her a bag of gold.
one night when everyone was in
bed Lima stole out of the house and
went to the witch, who made her
drink a cupful of herbs, and then she
poured over her golden locks some
thing that stained them black as the
raven.
That will never come off unless [
will it," said the old witch, reaching
out for the bag of gold.
Lima had tied the bag with strong
tWine in many knots, and she was a
long way from the ave when at asst
the old witch who opened the bag had
| found that Lima had deceived her.

What we fully can't understand
though doubtless Bernstorff and his
American press agents could explain il
to us-is why so many pro-Germans OBJ
ject to the plans of the American legion,
persons protest against our German
Eng" America by enlarglng our navy AMI
bringing the army up to something near
the peace strength of Switzerland or
Turkey.
The same people who roll their eyes
heavenward when it is suggested that
America maintain an army of 100000 men,
and teplore the mere suggestion as rank
milit explain passionately that It Ia
the army that has made German the mod
ern Eden. that the German army Is a dem
ocratic influence, that Germany is the one
country in the world with a weil-devei-
oped social spirit thanks to the army.

Our water power contains possibilities for
the extraction of nitrogen from the air
that put US on a par with Europe's pio-
neer countries in hydro-electricity; In the
fall of our waters alone we ave 6a,000,00
horsepower awaiting the harness. All of
the foods of the temperate zone and nan
| of the luXuries of the Semi-tropics are ours
for the growing.
In our people we have qualities admir-
ably adapted to the utilization of our re-
sources, qualities of originality which DUR
ing the half century just past have pro-
duced here 66 per cent OF the inventions
which the world has recognized as revo-
lutionary of it's industrial and social life.
And the work of men like Rittman dis
covering new processes for the produce
ton of gasoline from crude petroleum and
for supplying benzo. and toluol, proves
that in the important field of chemistry
Americans are fitted to meet any rivalry.
These are not boastings. They are
statements of the simple facts, mere ref
~erences to the unparalleled resources of a
people whose genius manifests itself in a
passion for discovery and a craving for
high achievement Were this people ever
parted from the resources that now exist
for gratifying it's innate vocation to great
ness in every field, We should need no
foreign conqueror to imbue US with the
Indebtedness suffered by a fettered giant.
The time IS here when, wholly apart
from consideration of preparedness
against dangers from abroad, we must
j protect our vast natural resources as an
essential preliminary to their beneffcent
use for and by our people. The power
to give that protection lies with congress.
AT least two bills call urgently for pas
sage. One is the bill governing the use
OF public lands for the development of
hydro-electric power. The other is the
general development bill, which provides
the desirable method of utilizing our ma
tional resources of oil, gas, coal, phos-
phate and potash, with danger neither of
monopoly nor of nonuse.
Although as a nation we have given
iaway our riches will a lavish hand, WI
still possess of our patrimony enough to
suffice for our future, however distant
and however great. Let us enact into
law these two supremely important meas
ures, and whatever we own of national
resources will remain forever in the serv-
ice of the people.

its fundamental necessities for the asser-

Various sorts of worsted can be used,
in combinations that are most effec-
tive. Ali white for wear in the coun-
try, where they don't get easily soiled,
are very attractive. And white banded
with deep rose, bright blue, green or
orange is very pretty. The mufflers
have bands at the ends, the caps have
q striped border all around. There are
caps, too, with a long point to tie like
a lnuffler around the neck.
There are charming cap and muffler
sets. originally for skating, but quite
wearable for walking and other out-
Goor purposes. These are made of silk
and cloth ~variously combined. The
caps fold quite flat when off the head,
but when Oh they take the form of a
tcque. They are softly lined with silk,
and quite unstiffened. The scarfs go
once about the neck and one end is
then thrown over the shoulder. One is

She thinks she "a marry the prince

wedding was beginning.
