Cape Effects.
these days.

An important feature of many after
noos gowns is the care effect. While
this adds a quaint touch to woman s
appearance, one must use judgment
in using this feature. ON some figures
it may be very unbecoming. For in
stance, the woman who is inclined to
stoOp or have very round shoulders
would appear unbecomingly frocked in
a gown made with a cape The short
woman who may have a very graceful
carriage should avoid the feature. Also
unless she modilies it 70 such an ex-
tent that the cape measures only a
few inches wide.
One Of great width would do much
to decrease the wearer's height.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADDRESS
TO PEOPLE ON PREPAREDNESS
guarding of Quietude for
Americas.

New York-President Wilson Thurs
day opened his personal appeal to the
country for national defense. He gave
warning that plans for the readjust-
ment of the army must be formulated
and carried out without delay, and
;olemnly declared he could not predict
that the outlook for the United States
would be as bright tomorrow as to-
day. Speaking at 6anquets OF the
Railway Business Association and the
sounded the keynote Of addresses that
he will deliver during the next ten
days in the Middle West.
The president vigorously discussed
his Mexican policy. He asserted that
to invade Mexico would mean the los
ing of confidence of the rest OF the
Western Hemisphere. He cited the
freeing of Cuba as an instance of good
done by the United States.
IF we are drawn into the maelstrom
which now surges in Europe" the
president declared. 1--WE shall not be
permitted to do the high things we
would prefer"
The president defended the CONT
mental army plan drawn up by Sec
rotary Garrison, and said that he did
not care about the details of any plan
so long as 100000 trained men were
provided as reserves under the federal
government

in rose color. maize, blue, and laven-

green makes the choice more varied.
The chic tailored blouse pictured
here is made of wolfe with dotted
stripes in a deep tan shade on white
ground. Between these are narrower
stripes of white satin dots. The back
extends over the shoulders, forming a

The sleeves are finished with deep
cuffs of the wolfe. A removable collar

sign that betrays careful planning. 1t
is a model that may be copied easily
in any of the spring wash fabrics.

The better grades in cotton voiles,
marquisettes, Organdie and other sheer
stuffs have proved themselves surpris-
ingly durable and are like crepe de
chine and crepe georgette in this re
spect- They look as fragile as flower
petals but wear as stanchly as
Scotch madras or any other of the de-
pendable weayes that are relied upon
for the practical everyday blouse.
They are all in the running now that
the time is here for making up blouses

HEALTH HINTS
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Biz 1 hA
One Of the aims of the coming Ma
tional Better Baby Week" will be TO
impress upon parents the importance
OF birth registration.
There are laws and ordinances q
plenty demanding the registration OF
all babies but physicians as a general
rule are apathetic regarding them and
the mother says:
WHY should 1 trouble to register
my baby. WIN it make it any health
ier?"
The answer to the latter is at win"
by giving health officers an oppor'
tunity to check up on the chhds
health.
And here are reasons why it is
worth while for every mother to regis
ter her baby's birth:
1t is the child's proof of citizenship.
1t will be needed, perhaps, when It
comes time for him to enter school OF
when lie seeks to go to work.
1t may be needed later in regard TO
life insurance or the settling OF estates
or for proof in matter of inheritances.
Lack of sucha record might prove a
bar to a civil service position or SO
rIously hinder the settling OF some
point of law. There are dozens Of
such instances in everyday life where
a record of ones birth will prove OF
value.
Without such vital statistics the
work OF state and municipal health Of
icers is seriously hampered.
Birth registration is a badge OF cit
izenship and every mother should de-
mand that the family doctor register
Immediately the birth of her child.

BRITISH WOMEN
TO Till THE LAND
Governments Call Charac-
terized AS Bold But Not
Criticized.

LONDON, Feb. 20-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press)-The call
for 100000 women to replace the $780,
900 men who will be missing from ag,
ricultura1 pursuits throughout Great
Britain in the spring has been heard
by responsive ears and without critl.
ctsm from any Of the women'sl organ:
jizations or from the press. Only a
small portion OF the press, after re.
tterring to the sacrifices made by wo-
men so far in the war, describe tho
new appeal of the government as bold.
The press as whole Is unanimous In
declaring that no critic since the war
began has challenged the. energy and
devotion with which the British wo;
men have respondedfto this call made
upon their services.
It is q fact that there Is scarcely
any profession, trade OF industry In
which women can be employed where
they are not working:
Some OF the papers point out, how;
ever. that. farmslabor has none OF the
attractive novelty presented by some
Of the new occupations which the war
has opened to women. 1t is very hard
work, it is not well paid, and 1t has
not the inspiration of direct war work
which surrounds munition-making.
In certain localities 1t Is claimed
that farm work Is unfortunately in dis
repute among the very class OF wor
men who could most probably be en-
gagged in it; and the success OF the
ssawn.bred women on the land must. It
is argued, In the nature of the case be
dubious as the success of the town
bred man has proved by experience
to be.
