KORNILOVAS PASIDAvE

Fetrogradas, rugs. 13 d. = Su-
lyg ziniq, kurios oficialisku ir ne

SMALL MILLINERY.
How to Make . Lit
tls Girls Spring Hat.

What is prettier than the mushroom
shape for a little girls hat? Not only
can 1t be easily made by the unskilled
mother, but 1t will be assured sec.
ond and even third season. for the
mushroom never goes out OF style in
Juvenile millinery.
No matter how clever you are with
the needle, It is always the best plan
to- buy the shape in the shop, then
cover 1t with the same material used
for the little girls coat.
To begin covering cut straight
piece Of goods wide enough to cover
both top and bottom Of the brim and
long enough to 60 around the lower
and larger edge. Allow several inches
on both dimensions.
Sew the ends together on the wrong
side, run white basting line through
the center fuse silk thread II the ma
terial is silk or velvet). then turn In
the top edge on the wrong side and
gather with tiny stitches until you
have made 1t tight enough to ct snug
~ around the base of the crown. Sew
1t there after adjusting the gathers.
The basting line should be on the
edge all round. when you finish the
under side Of the brim, by turning In
the raw edge and sewing 1t well up
into the crown, gathering II necessary.
The top of the crown is covered by
a circular piece of the goods, no care
being taken Of the finish, as 1t win be
hidden. Next bias piece Of material
is cut long enough to exactly fit the
sides Of the crown as band after
the ,slanting ends have been Joined.
This is generally finished before be-
ing sewed on the crown. either by
stitching or cording.
IL the little girls coat is velvet use
corduroy of the same shade. 1t is
more serviceable. and the stripes give
the appearance Of accordion plating
without its perishability. The same
idea can be carried out In silk by using
material with corded weave.
The trimming should be extremely
simple. A silk cord. with tassels, tied
on one side. or one of the new GRO.
cleted chain cords ending in balls GOV.
cred with the coats material makes q
good finish.

Want NEW RULING
Iowa Guards Are Still Fighting
the Clothing Order.
CHARGE REGULARS OPPOSE
The Judge Advocate General says
Guards Have Overdrawn Clothing
Allowance and Must Pay For
Old Clothes
CHARGE REGULARS OPPOSE

Dies Resolutions condemn
ing the war departments order that
guardspen Of the Third Iowa must
pay for their old uniforms as move
by the regular army to kill the ma
tional guard and demanding the i'm
mediate countermanding, have been
drawn for presentation on the floor
of both the senate and house of the
Iowa legislature.
The resolutions direct the secretary
of the senaA and the chief clerk Of
the house to wire President Wilson
and Secretary of War Baker asking
them to take the proper action to re-
verse the judge advocate generals
ruling. /.
The resolutions were drawn by
Senator Frailey OF Fort Madison, at
the direction of the members Of the
joint subcommittee OF the senate and
house committees on military affairs.
The contents thereof were outlined by
committee members at an executive
session. Senator Frailey will submit
the draft to the committee-composed
of Senators Frailey and Evans and
Representatives Miller and Adkins
for approval.
The charge that the regular army
is attempting to discredit the national
guard and kill it if possible is the
charge that is generally made by ma
tional guard officers. Iowa officers
have been particularly bitter in their
denunciation of the regular army's
treatment of the militia troops. This
is the first time that the charge has
been proposed in an official document
and officially made If the resolution
passes the legislature.
The Judge advocate general ruled
first that the guardsmen must pay
full value for the uniforms they had
when called into the service by Presi-
dent Wilson last June. The men, act
ing under a war department regula-
ton they believed explicit in its direc-
ton, drew the full allowance Of cloth.
ing on the border and destroyed what
was left of their old state clothing.
Now the judge advocate general de-
clares they have overdrawn their
clothing allowance and therefore must
pay for, the old clothing. The original
order required payment at the original
value of the clothing, which would
cost each man about SIS. That order
has since been modified to require
payment according to the value fixed
by a board of officers.
(. But Major Sturtevant, U. S. A., II. as
tering OFFICER says he can take no
action to comply with the modifica-
tion unless ordered by the central de de.
partment. He is under control Of the
central department and not, the Judge
advocate general. N.
The contemplated resolutions to
the President may be held until fur
ther word comes from Washington
in answer tn complaints already made.

Hoys there seemed a general desire
to make 1t plain that the country
would not look for any serious action
by the administration because Of the
loss of the Laconia. ;,
