Opposition Breaking

republican senators who have been
hllDusterlng against the armed neu-
trallty bill, not because opposed to it
but TO force an extra session of Con
greSS, declared their conviction that
the situation demanded united support
OF the President. A Congress badly di-
vided, and in its dying moments, with
its legislative program at skies and
sevens and charges of playing pol
itics" flying from every side, suddenly
took a new aspect.
1t was as if the cry. america first
had rung through the halls of both
houses and the response had been al
most instaneous. In the Senate mem
bers who have opposed the President
in his manner of dealing with Ger
many on the ground that it was lead
ing to war, were found fighting in
huences which the Presidents sup
porters declared were calculated to en-
barrass him.
Clark Announces Vote
Speaker Clark announced the vote
amid applause and cheering. OPPOSE
ton to the bill had faded during the
day before patriotic appeals from lead
ers on both sides of the House. and
when the roll was called only nine Re-
publicans, three Democrats and the
Socialist voted in the negative. They
were:
epublicans-Benedict of California
Cary of Wisconsin. Cooper of Wisconsin
Davis of Minnesota. Helgesen of North
Dakota. Lindbergh of Minnesota, Nelson
Wilson of Illinois.
D moe ra t Decker of Missouri
Shackleford of Missouri and Sherwood
of Ohio.
Socialist-London of New York
The measure was sent over to the Sen
ate, where it is expected the Senate com
mittee's bill approved by the President
and authorizing not only the arming OF
ships but the employment of ''other in
strumentalities' will be substituted.
All proposed amendments to the meas
ure. except those added in committee
were rejected by the House under an
avalanche of votes.

Ordering pajamas for the feminine form divine is no longer matter of mentioning merely the size and mate rial wanted. Such glorified garments as those shown here are evidently meant to elevate pajamas to place of importance, making them cos tune for the boudoir to rival the glory of the negligee.
 Wash satin Is used for the knicker- lockers and coat of this rather splen- did outfit. The knickers extend below the knees, where they are narrowed to fit about the calf of the leg and are laced up the sides with satin ribbon. The jacket is cut with collar opening in | low "V" at the front with the body of the garment gathered into it. Friv- olous little pointed pockets at each side of the jacket have no particular reason for existing at all, but they add their testimony to the vogue of pock. cts on feminine belongings and might serve to hold an equally frivolous handkerchief-or a note-or other o1

 AS Tar back as 1903 representative Germans frankly said that Germany would have to fight Ainerca because it Germany's commercial rival. In Samoa and the Philippines German in- reference twice at least brought us to the verge or war Had it not been for Great Britain which has always recognized American policy in the western Hemisphere and submitted disputes to arbitration, German arrogance and ambition would have years ago brought the crisis.
 With the commercial expansion of European nations, the United States has no quarrel If however. such expansion is based guarded and enforced by the threat of war the United States can see the machinatons of men who are disr- ous of expansion at the expense of the rights of other nations.
 Since the outbreak of the European war; the ruthlessness of this German hostility to other na- tions, and particularly to those that have regard for international law and really representative government, is apparent. We have seen treaties disregarded whenever they stood in the way of German militarfstic plans. We have quered states treated with a brutality worthy of Assyria We have seen policy of terrorism ap- piled systematically in the abuse of prisoners the massacring and deportation of civilian popula- tions, tie indescribabe abuse of women and chil- dren. the destruction of noblest works of art the devastation of abandoned regions. the wholesale execution of Poes Bohemians. and Serbians the indictment of Mohammedans to holy war and the permission of an attempted extermnation of the Christian people of Armenia.
 We have hospital ships sunk unfortifed towns bombed and bombarded We have seen a medal struck in honor Of the sinking of the Itlsi- ania.

The one-piece frock of wool, for fall, has arrived In many new designs. This indicates that creators of styles for women expect it to come in for as much attention as the separate skirt, or the suit skirt, worn with a blouse. The one-pieee fr0ck, or the "dressmak- CTS dress" as 1t was called to distin- guish it from man-tailored clothes, ar rived in forcesul numbers last fall. Paris launched it in place of two-piece suits, because there were no tailors left to make the suit-they were all gone of to war. But the one-piece froek did not interfere with the popu- larity of suits and blouses in this coun- try ii merely made place for itself.
 The one-piece frock is very practi- cal for the business girl or the young girl in school. It is freshened with or and. if cut on good lines. it is capable of doing much for the figure. One of the new models is shown in the picture above and it Is especially suited to slender, youthful figures.
 These frocks are made in serge, gab- erdine, twill or any of the smooth, pli. able wool fabrics. The skirt is gath cred onto very wide girdle at its lower side and the blouse is joined to 1t along the upper edge, as in the frock pictured. Nine rows of chain stitch ing. in.white silk thread attest to the

the nonsensical treasures of youthful maidens.
 The jacket is hemmed at the bottom and has graceful sleeves that are split along the forearm and laced together with ribbons. A silk cord is worn about the waist, tied at the front and allowed to extend itself into long ends, terminating in silk tassels.
 There are other pretty costumes for the boudoir in which jackets and trou- sers replace the filmy negligee, and they bear the mark of Oriental inspi- ration. Full trousers and short coats of corduroy in light colors were among the first of the new departures to set designers thinking along lines that have resulted in such glorified gar ments as that pictured above.

DRIED EGGS TO
 U. s. FROM CHINA

Imports of eggs products this year have amount ed to about 10,OO0,0Oo pounds valued the age at about 15 cents a pound. These products are imported chiefly from Japan and China and include eggs that have been dried frozen or pow dered They are used in this country principally by bakers in the manufacture of various kinds of pastry.
 The consumption of Asiatic egg products in this country has greatly increased in recent years and therefore the conditions under which they are prepased become of greater interest to the public. The operation of model plant at Shanghai is de scribed as follows:
 .The eggs are received at the door of the fac tory in baskets containing approximately 1000 eggs, and the factory offers better prices for choice eggs it is securing the highest class of egg produced within circle of probably 100miie radius. The eggs are brought into the examining over and all cracked otherwise damaged eggs separated. The eggs then candled by Chinese, who pass them before the candling lamps at the rate of 800 hour. The handling rooms are kept in temperature not exceeding 6 degrees Fahrenheit, the range of temperature in the build ing, used both for freezing and for drying eggs. being from to upward of 100 degrees Fahren- heit in the freezing and drying rooms respectively.
 From the candling rooms the fresh eggs with unbrOken shells taken to the breaking room. which in point of sanitary appliances and atten-
 lion to details of personal hygiene scarcely is passed by the operating room of hospital. In fact the general effect of the room, aside from low temperature. is that of a well-ordered hos pitnl, but with ten white-cupped and aproned nurses where the ordinary hospital would have but one. The factory employs 100 girls. each of whom is expected to break and separate from 1.500

to 2000 eggs day of 12 hours. Owing to the fac tory paying higher wages than other similar plants and working only six days a week instead of seven, which is the rule of the cotton mills and silk fla lures of Shanghai it pick and choose in it's labor. so that the type of girl employed in the egg breaking room is far above the standard of any other Chinese factory and composite picture of them all probably would come nearer the Chinese idea of feminine beauty than any other 100 girls that can be found in Shanghai.
 AS the workers enter in the morning they are dressed in freshly sterilized clothing furnished by the factory, and after their nails are mancured they are allowed to proceed 10 the workroom.
 The breaking is solid concrete and is steriliZed each day carefully us the operating room of hospital. The girls seated metal stools at low zinc tables. Before each of them is curious appliance which mechanically separates the white of the egg from the yolk The girl takes an egg from the can, into which they have been counted by the candlers. and with the right hand cracks it on the bar of the separating machine. The breaking is then finished by dexterous move ment of the fingers, which permits the egg to drop Into q shallow cup, where the yolk is caught and the white allowed to drain of the sides.
 The drying room is described as embodying all the latest features in the sanitary handling of this product. The air nsed in The drying process is thoroughly filtered being forced through the dry Ing apparatus under heavy steam pressure. The egg yolks whites come of the dryer in fakes which are allowed to cool to temperature slightly above the freezing poinr. Then the product goes to the packing room. where it is placed in boxes lined with waXed paper, which are stenciled and made ready for shipment
 For the freezing of eggs the separation and Straining are carried out just for the manufac- ure of dry yolks only after the stranng the large cans are taken to the freezing chambers Here the temperature is kept close to zero. Fahrenheit and the separate whites and yolks are poured into cans standing on racks that line the walls of the freezing chamber.

had seen no fewer than 66S neutral ships sunk by submarine warfare.
 We saw Germany precipitating this world war, in which she has used poison and fire, part of her official policy at a moment when in the opinion of her leaders she judged the rest of the world to be unready to defend itself against an attack for which Germany had been preparing for 40 years.
 The plain catalogue of facts makes it plain why America is fighting to defend itself and democ- racy. We have entered the primarily in self defense. To have done anything less would have been to surrender our sovereignty and to have waited passively until the German program had been so far carried out and the truly modern na- tions of Europe weakened that we in our unpreparedness would have been forced to fight rapacious conscienceless military autocracy, whose ends in war are avowedly indemnities, az grandlZement. and the control of the world. Our alignment inevitably with and for democracy.
 An epoch of civilization hangs in the balance Not to have co-operated with world that is en- deavoring to protect itself and its future from Germany with its militaristic autocracy, its ter rorism, and its disregard of international law that noblest product of civilization would have been bid for suicide.
 We do not fight for aggrandzement, indem- nifty, the forcble imposition of institutions upon any country; we fight for self protection We do not fight to further British ambitions French schemes of colonization We fighting for the institutions which with varying degrees have spread from America all the world cept Germany. Austria Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria.
 Our success will make it possible, believe, not only for our children and children's chiL dren to enjoy peace but for German liberalism to master the forces which for nearly century have been it's oppressor.
 The American Revolution preserved in America and in England the liberty that goes with inde- pendence. Our Civil assured the future of democratic institutions in our united nation. The present is not born of independence but of interdependence among those nations who have dedicated themselves to the task of seeing that government of the people by the people. and for the people shall not perish from the earth

Sports Rlouses of Color.

Although the colored sweaters. of all the hues of the rainbow, have made the all-white sports blouse rather de sirable, still there are some sports olouses of color. Some of these are of striped wash silk, in white striped with eolor-yellow, rose, green, red CT tan. These are made or the conventional shirtwaist order.

 We have at times overpraised virtues and pur- poses and in consequence for the last generation we nave listened with rather amused tolerance to cessive procamatons of the kaiser the laudation of Germany by subsidized mouthpieces After war broke out in 1914 for years struggled to treat Germany and it's agents as we expected other nations to treat ourselves.
