DRESS

In this season of elaborate fashions
it seems proper that all thinking wo-
men should turn their attention to-
ward securing more suitable dress.
Men are able usually to use their
garments until wear, not style, makes
a change necessary, but fashion ue-
crees that women shall change with
every season, often using garments i'll
adapted to their work, unhygenic, and
at the cost of much time, energy and
money. 1t is of great importance 100
that modern women should understand
the economic effect of constantly
changing fashions upon wages and en-
ployment of garment workers. If we
are interested in relieving economic
pressure, and so raising moral stand
ards, we must turn our attention to
more simple and less changeaple
styles.

MR.. JUSTICE BRANDEis

st. Paul Disqualification a public
discussion of his qualifications such
as has marked the career of none of
his predecessors, Louis ID. B%randeis is
to become associate justice of the
United States Supreme Court.
The opponents of Brandeis may be
divided into two distinct classes
those who do not understand him, and
those who do. To the former we ma
attribute the broad extent of the oppo-
sition. To the latter we may credit
its intense bitterness.
Brandeis has been considered oy
those who did not know him as a freak
If not a questionable character. If
rarity alone were to determine a mans
fitness for that designation, then Louis
ID. Brandeis is a freak. His services
as adviser are sought by some of the
greatest corporations of the country.
Yet the great corporations as a class
hate him. Why? The story Is a long
one. But the kernel of 1t Is that Bran
deis is never afraid to tell a client,
whether hat client be corporation,
labor union or general public, that IL Is
wrong. He is 60 years old, and
throughout his career he has cultivat-
ed, instead of the biased mind of the
advocate, the detached mind Of the
Judge. Great financial organizations
retain him not to juggle with the law.
They hire him because they know if a
point at law car get through Brandeis
it can get through any fair court.
This is why Brandeis is misunder-
stood. The business and legal world
thinks in terms of hired partisanship.
Brandeis has established the private
judgeship. The consequent confusion
of the public mind regarding his quail
fications for a public judgeship has
caused n writer, who, as a reporter,
has followed Brandeis' career for a
long time, to say: 81 am moved once
more to admire and to excrate the skill
with which life sometimes seizes Upon
a mans best quality as the very instru-
ment with which to endeavor to COM
pass his ruin"
But whatever the theories of the
friends and admirers of Brandeis, the
Senate investigation has failed to find
evidence to discredit their claims.
Brandeis stands indicated despite the
desperate efforts of the organized spe-
cial interests and of organized politics
to accomplish his downfall. He stands
indicated despite the sage and steril-
lied advice Of the combined ex-presi-
dents of the American Bar association,
among whom is William H. Taft,
smarting victim Of Brandeis' relentless
honesty. He stands indicated despite
the conventional excuse Of corpora
tons and their representatives that.
admitting his ability, Brandeis lacks
the judicial temperament"
Judicial temperament" by virtue Of
its very ~vagueness Is a convenient
term for those who do not care to de-
fine what they mean. It has been used
to describe lei who could control
themselves perfectly when justice was
assassinated before their very eyes.
II this Is what the organized financial
and political interests mean by "judic-
ial temperament" then their observa-
ton of Brandeis is correct.

THE CROW'S-NEST

The sermon to the college young peo-

1t was very gratifying to see a bridal
party leave Brookings without the US

gave the party a sensible and dignifed
farewell parting at the station on Mon

The standardization Of women's
dress does mean the adoption of mems
costumes nor the wearing of Uniform
garments. 1t should be worked out
along practical lines to meet the needs
of all women for all occasions, the gar
ments being constructed with regard
to appropriate lines, becoming style
and color, and with wide range of ter
tiles for individual choice. Cost would
certainly be decreased through stand
~ardization, the quality of material
would be made better, and the costume
might be used until worn out.-Nola K.

|, Il Reached the Blind Of Sight and
Should Touch the "BIind Of Heart"
One Christmas eve lady was walk
ing in the .city of Berlin enjoying the
pretty sights. She stopped to look. at
large window where was laid out the
l0wly stable In Bethlehem.
Before the window stood two little
girls, their faces beaming with pleas
ure, while they talked to another little
girl behind them, around whom they
had their arms. This dear child was
quite blind and to her poor sightless
eyes the pretty window told no story.
But the loving little friends told the
blind child Of the rude stable, the hay,
the cows and the sheep, the sweet
mother beside the manger in which the
Christ child was sleeping, the open.
door through which the wondering
shepherds were coming, and the bright
star above which shed a soft, silvery
light over all. and the wise men with
rich gifts for the little sleeping babe,
who was the Son of God. our Saviour.
The little blind girl listened till her
face grew happy, and she clasped her
hands together, saying again and again.
"Ah, that is beautiful!
There are those who have blind
hearts, instead of lind eyes, because
they do not know the blessed story,

WORMS AGAIN A MENACE

That cankerworms will menace the
lives of Kansas shade and fruit trees
in 1917 unless vigorous effort is
made to combat the insects, was the
opinion expressed by George A. Dean.
professor of entomology in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college, before
the State Horticultural society at To-
peka.
Injury done by the cankerworm
last spring was again severe over
large portion of the state" said Pro-
fessor Dean. In many cases elms,
hackberries, and large numbers of
fruit trees were completely defoilat-
ed. Many trees died in the summer,
while others were weakened and thus
rendered susceptible to the attack of
wood borers. The cankerworms are
almost certain to prove serious next
| season."
With the exception of the canker-
worm infestation there were few ser
ious outbreaks of insects Injurious to
fruits, pointed out Professor Dean.
1t should be remembered, however,
he cautioned, that wood borers, par
ticularly the bark beetles, are likely
to prove more serious to trees follow
ing a dry, hot summer. 1t is an adj
mitted fact that borers prefer the
weaker trees, and thus trees that
we're checked in their growth or
stunted by adverse conditions such as
prevailed last summer, are rendered
susceptible to attack. These trees
should be watched and protected. If
| for no other reason than the future
control of borers, all fruit trees
should be given the proper care to
keep them healthy and vigorous.
1.-THE department of entomology, !"
said Professor Dean, has given
much attention to the fruit growing
interests in some Of the northeastern
counties the past year. Many orch
ardists we're furnished with direc-
tfons for spraying, and the work in
several orchards was conducted I'M
der the supervision of the depart
ment.
This work not only has aroused
much interest, but has succeeded in
getting a large number of orchardists
to spray, prune, and cultivate their
orchards properly. Greatly increased
financial returns have been reached
by those who have adopted modern
methods in handling their orchards.
, 1.-THE inspection of areas infected
with San Jose scale shows that the
rapid progress of this insect can be
checked and its damage greatly re-
duced. Because the funds for this
purpose were limited, property-to-
property inspection of all San Jose
scale infested districts was not per-
mitted. Such an inspection, however,
was made in North Topeka, where an
infestation was found the previous
year. This inspection did not reveal
any scale, indicating that 1t was Grad
icated by the previous complete cut
ting and burning of all infested trees
and shrubs"

drawing. Some real cute figures are
made, especially dolls. 1t is not pri-
mary work.

that the boys also are there at the
