shows a military dress for girls, but
toned down the front and provided
with an ample supply Of pockets. The
dress Is developed in blue serge with
flannel collar and cuffs. and red silk
tie makes kind of patriotic costume
which is sure TO appeal to the patriotic
instinct of the school girl. There are
some Of these dresses made with de
tachable capes reaching about the waist
line. Some of the capes have turned
back revers in front, faced with pretty
colored silk which is also used for the
lining of the capet. One Of these
dresses in serge or gabardiBe Is just
the thing for autumn wear, as the
cape makes a separate coat unneces
sary at the beginning Of the cold
weather.

also equipped with these military capes

WHERE PERSIANS TAKE REST
Tea Garden Beside Dusty Road That
May Easily Be a Thousand or
More Years Old.

The road and the river part COM

sort of widening green island is there,
between crook Of the stream and o
wall of powders that would not be

Yet the tall poplars of the garden
would not be Persian if they were not
planted In perfectly straight lines.
Transversely or obliquely, however, the
trees keep to one another no such re-
lation as they might In the West. They
stand very close together, making pri-
vacies between aisle and aisle. This
Is the quieter and roomier part of the

and some tiny tea glasses ana there

neighborhood of the wall. | do not

An Epoch-Makinq Decision.

The United States Supreme Court
Friday put double ct OF teeth into
the Prohibition laws OF all the dry"
States.
In affirming the constitutionality OF
the Webb. Kenyon act the court took
the longest step that has yet been tax
en- to make Prohibition really prohi'
bit. This act is designed to prevent
the shipment of liquor from non Prohi-
bitlon States into Prohibition States,
and in sustaining it the court has cut
off the bootlegger from his case of sup
plies. Federal authority now supple
ments State authority in the enforce
ment OF prohibitory legislation
The Chief Justice himself took occa-
sion to emphasize the sweeping nature
OF the courts decision by saying;
The attracting power OF Govern
ment over liquor is settled. There was
no intention of Congress to forbid indi.
vidual use Of liquor. The purpose OF
the act was to cut out by the roots the
practice Of permitting violation of State
LIQUOR laws. We can have no doubt
that congress has complete authority
10 prevent paralyzing of State author
ity.
AS for the power of the State over
the manufacture, sale and use OF liquor,
that is plenay, and the court also affirm
ed the validity OF the West Virginia
amendment which prohibits citizens OF
that State from receiving liquor for
their own personal use from common
carriers engaged in interstate com
merce. Thus the States may make
their Prohibition laws as drastic as
they please and the power OF the Fed
eral Government over interstate com
MERGE will be employed to assist them.
This decision of the United States
Supreme Court will create more con-
sternation in many OF the Prohibition
States than anywhere else outside OF
express Offices and wholesale liquor
houses which cater especially TO the
Prohibition trade. State Governments
no louger have an excuse for failing to
enforce Prohibition. The recent plea
that State authority was nulliiied by
Federal authority and that there could
be no State interference with inter-
state commerce has lost its force.
Hereafter when prohibitory amend
ment is submitted to the people OF a
State they will know that they are vot-
ing for Prohibtion-not for a system
that spells Prohibition for part OF the
population and full personal liberty
for the rest.
In sustaining the power Of Congress
to employ the national authority TO
help enforce State legislation, the Su-
preme Court has created precedent
of infinite possibilities, 1t has given to
the doctrine of State rights new
force and a new direction. The webb
Kenyon law represents the first instance
since the Fugitive-Slave Law in which
the States have appealed to the Fed
eral authority for assistance in main
tanning their local legislation, but it
will not be the last 1T is plain that
the relationship between State author
ity and Federal authority has entered
upon a new epoch. York World.

THURSDAY. JANUARY IS, 1917

The courteous phrasing OF the En-
tente Allies reply to President Wll-
sons note is evidence of their desire to
retain the good will of this country, but
the terms which they lay down as a ba-
sis for peace are not such as TO inspire
hope of speedy ending of the war. II
needs no word from Berlin to pro
nounce them impossible at this stage
of the game. only hopelessIy crush
ed enemy would accede to the demands
formulated by the Entente Allies as
the objects for which they are now
fighting. and the Central Powers are
far from being hopelessly crushed.
The prospect then is for the contin-
uance of the war until one side or both
Is so weakened as to change the exist
ing situation. SO far as the Central
Powers are concerned, there smoothing
in which to base belief that they are
in desperate circumstances. Undoubt-
eddy the reply Of the Entente Allies,
both TO the Central Powers overtures
and to President Wilson's note, will
serve to strengthen the Teutonic gov
eminent with their people. IL the
German overtures are calculated for
that purpose, the result is a vindlca-
ton Of the cunning that inspired them.
The Central Powers can now assert
that their fight has Decome-whatever
it may have been originallY-one for
preservation, and they need only
point TO the documents signed by the
Entente Allies to prove their claim. BY
their own assertions, the Allies are de-
termined to continue the war until the
enemy is forced to her knees in hum
BILE suppliance.
The unsatisfactory outlook for an
early peace is no reflection upon Presi
dent Wilson's course, nor proof that
bis efforts had been wasted. 1t is to be
noted that while the Allies seem to
nave snuL Juo uOOr upoh ihLhoui"uu
peace, they did not do it with bang.
They closed the peace door softly and pc
litely. They did not lock it and throw
away the key. Before many months
have elapsed they may exhibit a keen
interest in reopening that door, and
even suggest that Mr.. Wilson put his
hand TO the knob.

Visibility of Planets.

AS general thing, the planets are
much less visible in daylight than
stars. The reason for this is that the
telescope dimlnishes the brightness of
the planets disk as well as of the sky,
and, therefore, does not heighten the
contrast as In Che case of the star.
Two of the planets, however, Venus
and Mercury, are better observed In
daylight than In darkness. Saturn, on
the other hand, can hardly be seen,
even through five-inch telescope, ex-
eept at night.
