TWILIGHT sLEEp~ BY
 NEW GAS EXPLAINED


 CHICAGO. Feb. 1f. - Women no longer dread the suffering of moth erhood. is the assurance offered by pr. Cari Henry Davis. associate pro lessor at Rush Medical College. In @ book just off the press. in which he announces the result of his treat ment of 154 cases in the Presbyterian hospital
 pr. Davis describes his successful experiments with the nitrous oxid- oxygen gas treatment in maternity cases.
 His method differs from twilight sleep" which he quotes medical au- thorities as stating is dangerous to mother and infant and can be em- pioyed only by specialists In a hos pital room. where proper preparations have been made. Nitorous oxid-oxy- gen gas can be administered by al- most any physician and nurses in the home.
 A few inhalatons of the gas, he de- ciaros. dcadens all pain. It is inhaled at intervals sufficient to keep the pa- tient soothed and calm. She is con sclous always of what is going on about her and can understand and fol- low the instructions Of the attending physicians.

THE MONEY MARKET.


 BOSTON-The money market is in remarkable position. Money is as easy as 1t has been at any time. Bro kers cannot accumulate commercial paper because it sells so readily. In normal times money is generally at about its lowest Feb. l. Toward the middle of February rates begin to
 strengthen and are generally quite a little higher around March, or certain ly April. But at present there as ap- parenty no precedents to 80 by.
 Very choice six months outside commercial paper is practically on a go basis in New York, Chicago and Boston. Some institutions VII not consider under SHeo and few not under 3lkeo. It is naturally believed that rates must be higher before they arc lower, but there is no indication of a change as yet.
 On call. money to brokers holds at S9e. Time money is quiet at S0Shfo for short dates and 8H@Sike6 for six months on good mixed collateral. outside commercial paper has an ex- treme range of 8@Slhfe for six months.
 The rightful explanation of the present gold movement to Argentina is that 1t originates, as others have done in the past with British ac- count. Argentina is supplying Eng land and Europe generally with large 1uontties of beef, foodstufis, etc., at The present time and the balance of trade between Europe and Argentina is heavily in the latter's favor This balance SO outweighs the balance of 'rade existing in favo- of the United States with Argentina, that it be- comes profitable for London bankers to draw gold from here to meet their obligations .n the Argentine. The banks here who ship tho gold set their orders either from Buenos Ay- res or London principally from Lon ion. and charge the London banks for the outlay.
 In New York, money on call at the Stock Exchange rules at 1%0.
 New demand for time money has practically dwindled to the vanish ing point Business is restricted to renewals and borrowers are meeting the'r fresh requirements with call money commitments, in view of the prospect for continued ease in the money market. Rates are unchanged. being 2sk02N esf for 60 days, 2%es for 90 days. 2M 673e6 for four months, ses for five and six months Comer- cial paper is moving in exceedingly small volume on account of the new offerings. The minimum rate on reg ular prime maturit'es is stil 3e6, and only the choicest short dates can be placed below that rate.

CENSOR AT THE DOOR
 OF BALLRoMM PROPOSED;
 BAR SHOCKING GOWNS

NEW YORK. Feb. 14. - Extreme fashions in women's dress VIII be one of the most important topics to be considered at the General Federation of Women's Clubs of America, to be held here next May. says Mrs. Wm. Grant Brown chairman of the local board of the federation
 Ten thousand delegates will take back to their homes Q concrete idea of dress reform that will be Q bless ing to the whole country" said Mrs. Brown. we win have the decollette gown so far as 1t Is a work of art but it should be modest and never sensational. There has grown up a custom of dress for women, especial ly among the young girls, that is s.m- ply shocking.
 "The extreme slit skirts that once shocked us has given place to the ex" treme split waists. Evening gowns worn nowadays by women who prob ably mean well, but are foolish, are utterly disgusting. being cut in some eases almost to the waist line. These women do not do this to attract at- tention, but because they are possessed by the idea that to be partly draped is fashionable.
 Many women suggest if the pres ent custom of sensational dressing continues an nctohIfehod ballroom con- sorshiD should prohibit women so gowned from appearing on the floor exactly as indecent dancing is for bidden."

WASHINGTON, Feb 1f. - Why force of at least 1.025,000 men would be needed to protect the vital areas of the United'states against Q strong enemy was detailed to Che Senate Military committee by Lieutenant Col onel W. c. Ham, member of the War Department Board which spent seven years working out defense plans
 The board was known as the Nation al Land Defense Board Major Gen. eral Wotherspoon. its president wis., tied and studied minutely every part of the coast line. It reported .n 1913. but It's findings have been held con- fldential by tho department Among other information submitted were de- tailed working plans, drawn up in conjunction with the Engineer Corps, for meeting emergencies. Colonel Haan said mary of these plans were being used in revising the deienses of the metropolitan districts in ac- cordanoe with latest Information as to the range Of foreign field artillery and ships guns.
 Huge invaslon Not Contemplated
 The boards purpose. Colonel Haan explained, was to determine the nec- essary auxiliary field Qualifications and troops necessary for defense against raiding parties, and did not contemplate war plans for use in the case of an invasion by a large army actually had been accomplished. It was then estimated, he said, that a division of 2O.OOo might be landed by raiding force.
 "Of what use would it be to land division of 10000 menr asked Sen ator Hitchcock.
 'If they could land @ division now" Colonel Haan declared, "they could take almost any. place we have. Then they would have a harbor where an Invading army might be landed and which would be held by their fleet as a base.
 To protect the various areas from Portland. Maine. to Norfolk. Colonel Haan added. the board had concluded that the following divisions woud be necessary, each to be well-balanced organization of 10000 men:
 Pacific Coast Division
 Portland, one d'vision,; Boston, two divisions: Narragansett. one division; New York. one division; Northern New London. one division; Northern New York. two divisions; Delaware, one division; Washington and Baiti- more. two divisions; Norfolk. two di. visions; and O general reserve of six divisions. The revised defense plans for Boston and New York called for an increased number of men, he add ed, making a total of 3SO000 mobile troops necessary for this section ex- elusive Of the coast artillery supports and battery personnel.
 South of Norfolk. he said. the board only had estimated on the basis of the coast artillery supports, because most of tho cities SO valuable as to require defense wore far from the guns. Twelve res 'ments for this work would be needed. he said.
 The needs of the Pacific coast he gave as three divisions in the Puget Sound region; one at the mouth of the Columbia River; three at San Fran cisco. and one at Los Angeles and San Diego. Six divisions should be held in reserve, he said.
 How large on army would these plans involve?" asked Senator Cham berlain.
 "One million and twenty-five thou hand men to protect the critical areas in the country" Colonel Haan replied. l
