CiiC TOWCIs
Washington.-Th ACCESSIBILITY of
going before congress before the end
of the present session March 4, to
make certain that he be clothed with
sufficient power to protect American
lives and property from German sub
marine activities was discussed by
President Wilson Saturday with mem
bers of the senate whom he called in
to conference during brief visit to
the capitol.
Afterwards it was indicated that the
president had not made up his mind
on the question, but had such a step
under consideration because of the
possibility that after adjournment
some sudden emergency might arise
necessitating action before congress
could be called together again.

When Bobby Coon sat down and

wished that he could tell Farmer

If Bobby could have understood
what Farmer Browns boy was saying
it would have made him feel a great
deal better. But he didn't understand.
and so he continued to stare toward
the Green Forest and grow more and
more Eomesick. After dinner Farmer
Browns boy came out and took off
that collar and took Bobby in his arms.

OF Interest TO Women
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. March 24.-It may be
that women ARE bit weary of sweaters
at last This fashion for wooden and
silk garments has spread through
ell strata of society and has con-
tinued with so much perseverance that
the shops have begun to feel a twinge
Of despair over anything new being
accepted.
Sweaters were originally intended for
those who take part in open-air sports
either as enthusiastic oulookers or as
participants. but very soon after the
fashion began the entire mass of peo-
PIE took it up and used the sweater as
q means of warmth or as a chance to
give color to n costume.
No one seemed to care whether 1t
ever saw the light on a field of sports;
81 served for those who rocked on
piazzas for those who wanted some
thing warm TO put on in the house
from sunrise to sunset. for those who
went e-visiting in the country and for
those who liked a touch of gay color
IN a luncheon costume.
The consequences of this wholeSai e
acceptance of one garment is that the
continent is filled with sweaters. red.
blue. green and yellow. from one end
10 another and then crcsswise: and an
other result is that many people are
getting tired of the mere act Of be

FASHIONS

Several months ago-in fact. with the
showing of extreme models in the
spring of I916-a decidedly oriental
note was heralded. and a great many
garments that borrowed either line or
coloring from the far east were shown.
In the year that has passed this ten
dency has grown stronger, and especial
ly the Chinese influences recognized.
The summer crop of tub frocks shows
many tailored dresses and sport suits
with coats or bIouses suggesting the
mandarin jacket. and neglige gar
ments have not escaped the same in
fluence In fact. Chinese mandarin
coats and accompanying Chinese trou-
SerS have ben found extremely deSir-
able and becoming for boudoir wear

Have You a Handicraft?

Probably there never was SO much
time and energy wasted since the world
began as there has been in fancy work
done by women within the last five
decades. Even to pass over such afro
cities as the tides, melonseed bags and
embroidered lounge cushions that
women used to make, much of the en-
broidered table linen was a pitiable
waste of time. In color and design it
was often crude and unspeakably COM
monplace. 1t expressed nothing of the
taste of the worker, because it was al
ways done according to certain definite
directions And it was fragile and not
useful The lace that women used to
make in the shape of bureau and buffet
covers. pincushion tops and curtains
was far from coming up to the stand
ard that any handicraft ought to. Much
of it was more than half machine
made. All we did was to run threads
between the design made with the
braid. AS lace goes it was quickly
completed and it was not durable.
Perhaps one reason why women of
this particular hour do not do more
with their hands is because of a deep
and juStifia BILE dislike of just this sort
of fancy work. In its place is coming
the new craftwoFk. work that is fine
ana worth "hlle as the faces made by
French peasants as much an express
sion of the worker as the rugs wrought
by Persian rugmak and as dura bic
as the homespun linen from which our
Observation-Disclosures used to make their
bedsheets, and that is even now being
routed out of old attic trunks, as fresh
and firm as when it was new.
TO make your handicraft worth
while YOU must take time to become
skilled If need be YOU must take reg
ular instructions. just as one learns
from a master to play violin or
flute. one must read about it. think
about it and devote a special certain
part of the day or week to its mastery.
If possible select your handicraft
with reference to the use to which il
can be put, and also to your individual
taste. If yor are not sure of the
strength of your eyes never attempt
fine crocheting though the working of
fine crochet lace or pillow lace is one
of the most honest of handicraft and
one full of interesting possibilities.
Among those that you can select if
you are woman in the home are rug
making, for wnich you will eventually
want to buy small loom and ought to

THE NATION WILL SUP
PORT THE PRESIDENT

Presidential orders have been CIV
en- for vigorous recruiting of the navy
to the full authorized war strength
of $1,000 men. The ill-advised mus
tering out of the national guard after
its service on the Mexican border is
to cease; and the presidential orders
further call for the quick mobiliza-
tion of guard regiments already de.
mobilized.
Let us hope and pray that the
president will adhere to that resolu.
tion and cast off altogether the in
fluences of those unwise pacifist ad.
visors who want him to let the ship
of state 60 drifting on when the world
realizes that 1t is menaced by dan
gerous tides and hidden rocks and
unknown undercurrents.
We have been in state of war and
condition of unpreparedness. The
fallacious plea has been heard, and
long controlled the administration
councils, that the United States should
avoid even the appearance Of putting
itself on the defensive, lest thereby 1t
give offense to Germany, and precipi.
tate hostilities.
That theory has been tried to the
limit and the consequences are ex.
actly the converse of what was prom.
ised by its advocates. 1t has merely
emboldened the German government
to greater aggressions and atrocity.
1t has drawn us toward war, not
from it,
Now that the president has had an
awakening, 1t is not conceivable that
he could ever again become suscepti.
BILE to the hypnotic influences of that
rapidly dwindling element that wants
peace at the price of national humil.
iationS and the drying up of the we'll.
springs of patriotism and American
spirit. That spirit is the very breath
of life of the republic. Once dead it
could never be resurrected. 1t is
more precious than wealth or ease of
living. It's decay would be more ca
lamitous than war.-Spokesman-R Re-
view.
