More Complete Organization

The women of America did
splendid work for the first issue of
Liberty Loan Bonds and are max
ing preparations now for a more
complete organization and more
thorough work for the next issue
of bonds which is to be announced
later by Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo. The plan of campaign
for the next issue adopted by the
Woman's Liberty Loan Commit
tee, with headquarters at Washing
ton, makes the state the unit of
organization and provides for the
utilization of established organiza-
tions in promoting tie sale Of the
bonds.
The committee has appointed in
each state and territorial division
of the United States chairman,
who will have at her command the
organizations of women in her state
who have been banded by the state
units of the Woman's Committee
of the Council of National Defense
and the Liberty Loan committees
of women which were established
Independently during the first is
sue and remaining intact for the
second campaign. Through these
organizations each state chairman
will be able to organize every coun
ty, city, town or village in her
state.
The general committee has also
appointed chairmen in each of the
twelve Federal Reserve banking
districts in the United States.
chairmen serve as delegates from
the Woman's Committee of the
Liberty Loan committees of their
various banking districts, cooperat-
ing with the latter on all various
matters pertaining to the relations
of women to the Liberty Loan.
They also act as Intermediates be-
tween the Liberty Loan commit
tees of their districts and the state
chairmen whose territories lie
within the Federal Reserve Dis
tricts. BY means of constant COM
munications with the state chair
men the district chairmen will
keep the latter IN touch with the
Federal Reserve Liberty Loan
work, experimenting the directive
labors of the Woman's Liberty
Loan Committee at Washington.

Senator Jones of Washington
declared:
"Twenty-six States of the Union
have enacted Prohibition within
their own borders. More than 60
per cent, almost tw ,-thirds of our
people, now live Under Prohibi-
ton. A large majority of the
Senate and of the House is for
Prohibition. If all this does not
warrant submitting the amend.

During the debate Senator

Representative Jacob c. Meeker
"ostensibly represents the Tenth

Judging from his official acts more
particularly represents the fifteen
large breweries located therein. y
He declared a speech delivered

BY way Of reducing the high cost Of
living, silk appears to be the chosen
fabric for summer suits, rather than
wooden fabrics. The Industrious silk
worm, aided and abetted by other
things known to manufacturers, have
made silks cheaper in comparison with
woolens than they used to be. Silk
Jersey, poplin and taffeta are cool and
elegant substitutes for light woolens.
and besides these there are the new
weaves, made especially for summer
wear, and pongee to strengthen the
cause of silk.
A beige-cOlOred suit Of silk poplin
shown in the illustration measures up
to the highest standard in new styles.
1t has wide cape collar, of the epau-
lette variety, and the inevitable pock-
cts that appear on all well-regulated
models. The collar is extended into
revers at the front of the coat and there
is an overcollar of printed silk. the
same silk being used to line the flaring
cuffs. Buttons are inconspicuous on

later thrown out this marking, and
that the dividing line is the middle OF

The location of this line will mean
great deal in the assessment Of the
