makes it impossible for another such filibus-
ter as that that killed the armed neutrality,
we may expect the Presidents measure to 90
through without much opposition.
After ALL the filibuster was not such a bad
thing, as it will be due to it that Congress VIII
be called together again
AT such a critical time as this. ii is much
better to have Congress on hand to advise with
the President than for the President to be
left to 90 it alone.
To have given Mr.. Wilson the power the
armed neutrality measure provided for, would
have made him dictator, pure and simple,
power too great for any mana power that q
weak man could not properly exerci> L and
power that would be dangnro is in the han6s
of a strong man.
The power to declare war belongs to Con
gress and not to the President anil it is q
power that Congress never should surrender
Attorney General Gregory has advised the
President that he has the power to arm mer-
chantmen for their own protection without
having to get such authority from Congress,
and the opinion is accepted as correct by the
leading lawyers of the country.
Under this opinion, the President can get
along without armed neutrality legislation
and any step further than the protection of
our interests would be declaration of war
IN this way he can allow every American YES
sci to carrykguns that will insure her safety
from attack, and if one of them should be at
tackled the act of war would be committed by
the other party Just the onus Mr. Wilson
claims he wishes the other fellow to bear.
There is a strong sentiment in the Senate
in favor of ousting Sen. Stone from the
Craftsmanship of the Foreign Relation Com
mIttee, and 1T will be to the Senate's credit #
the honor is taken away from him.
In the first place, Stone never should have
been made chairman of such a committee, be-
cause he is in no way fitted for it,
The Craftsmanship of the Foreign Relations
Committee is the most important of any of
the Senate committees, and should be filled by
Senator who is statesman with years of
experience.
Sen. Stone has never been considered any
thing but politician and pretty dirty poll
tician at that-his title of Cum Shoe Bill'
being bestowed upon him by those who wished
to describe his character
He has always been a tool of big interests
especially the liquor and oil interests-and
when he was not working for the Trusts in
Washington he was manipulating dirty politi-
cal deals in Missouri.
It is to be hoped that Stone goes-that the
Democrats will make the best of the oppor-
tunity to charge him with giving away naval
secrets-with being traitor to the admins
tration-and will kick him out.
If the Senate will do its part now, the State
of Missouri will likely complete the job at
the next election.
A little over a week from now, Georgia will
have the legislature with her again, for the
fourth time during the term of the present
members, which is going it some in the way
of meetings of the legislature
While the sentiment of the people is in favor
of bienniel sessions taking just half the dose

GIRLS LIKE OLD-TIME CAPES
Slim Debutantes Enthusiastic Over
Ample Wraps That Were Only
for Elderly a Season Ago.

It is amusing to note the number of
old-ladyfied capes that come out of the
theaters on matinee days. That is, the
capes would have been deemed old
ladyfied a season ago; now they are
tremendously the thing and are the
last word in smartness, says fashion
writer. And 1t is the slim little debu-
tanteS who are wild over these ample
wraps.
A very stunning model is Of dark
blue serge, with slaslTes from shoulder
to hip outlined by closely set bone but
tons. At the front the cape is held
in to the figure by knOtted sash that
passes through the slashes and under
the loose back portion. From the back
view the cape is a cape Only-long,
with ripple fullness from shoulder to
skirt hem, and the skirt hem is long,
too-quite to the ankle in many Gas IS,
though one never fails to see a pretty
and patrician little buttoned boot or
pump under the skirts edge.
Boots are just as important as ever,
though skirts certainly do cover them
deal more than last season. The
younger women have almost all dis
carried black boots for the street. One
sees white buttoned boots and gray
and bisque buttoned boots under tai
lored suits or frocks of light or dark
material

UNDERB0DIES VARY IN TYPE
That for Use With Finer Blouse Not
Best to Wear Under the Waist
That Is Washable.

The underbodice worn with a blouse
of georgette crepe or chiffon is not at
all the same type that is worn under
linen or cotton affair.
Under the finer blouses the glori-
fed corset cover is made of pussywil-
low, or some other soft silk, of net or
of silk voile. Under the blouse that is
washable a cotton underbodice, but
one that is always dainty, is more cor
rect
A novel idea TO wear under rather
elaborate blouses is to use a wide piece
of ribbon, large enough to go around
the body like a girdle. This is held
on over the shoulders by the regula-
ton ribbon straps. The wide ribbon
is fitted into the waist by taking up
little seams all around, and these
seams are hemstitched by machine.
This little underbodice buttons in the
back.
Another bodice is made like the old
fashioned corset covers our grand
mothers wore, with round necks, wide
armholes and infinitesimal extension
sleeves. 1t is gathered into the waist
by two strings run through invisible
folds and closes in the back. These
corset covers are pretty in batiste for
wear under washable blouses. In some
models the back is cut in surplice
crossed and brought back to the front
In belt that ties with ribbons in front.
The simple embroidery scattered over
the surface will not interfere with
any on the blouse which may be worn

SOME HINTS TO HoSTESSES
Novel Ideas in Place Cards Will Fur
nish Pleasant Surprises to
Luncheon Guests.

Every one likes to be surprised, if
the surprise is a pleasant one. Guests
especially are pleased with novel, I'M
expected things.
| Although there is nothing else in
such good taste in the way of a place
card as a plain white one with the
name of the guest written upon it,
hostesses often wish for something
new.
A luncheon surprise which will
cause much pleasure may be devised
by any clever hostess with a little in
genuity.
This is one novel way:
Before giving a luncheon, borrow Sc
cretly from the families of the guests
you expect to entertain their own baby
pictures.
Announce as the guests enter the
dining room:
Although there are no place cards,
am sure that each one will find her
place without difficulty"
| In the endeavor to do so much mer-
riment is caused.
Pretty souvenirs, as well as place
cards, may be gotten up in the follow
ing way. but must be planned for some
time ahead:
With kodak snap at different
times pictures of your friends. You
might ask them to arrange their hair
in novel ways.
Tint them delicately and mount on
cards like miniatures.
No names would be necessary, for
each guest would recognize her own
face beside her place at table.

"Puttinu Off"

Give up the very unwise habit OF
putting off," Putting off will result
only in your giving up your good in
tentions. There is never any time like
the present, and no matter how busy
a woman may be, she can always dnd
time to show some little kindness or
extend some little courtesy that may
be the means of cheering or strengths
ening another around her less strong4
willed.
Putting off until tomorrow what you
could do today Is sure way to upset
things in general, for procrastination Isl
surely the thief of time. Before one
realizes just how 1t happened the days
have flown by and we have not ac-
complished one-half the things we had
intended to.
There is no time like the present.
and If we were wise we would use
every minute we are sure of instead of
putting off, until that future that
may not come.-Exchange a.

Rust red is favored color.
Yellow is the smartest of colors this
season.
Many of the smart Bingham frocks
pushing their way into prominence
are made with short sleeves.
Wrist puffs add crisp daintiness
to summer frocks of printed voiles. AS
a rule, the puffs are of white Organdte
and are tied with black velvet ribbon.
Picoting forms the finish for the bot
tom of many nightgowns. The touch
is also added to the sleeves and neck.
Very beautiful are the new pearl
buttons, in which rainbow tints are
noticeable. These are an effecu7e
trimming on new wash skirts.
Fringe edging the bottom Of white
washable skirts is attracting great
deal of attention. White floss en-
broidery is also being used on these
skirts.
Very quaint is a pin-striped layen-

front and down the sleeves make the
color more pronounced. White or

Cured of Borrowing.

"Wel, I've found way to stop my
