WOMEN'S SPRING CARDS
HAS BEEN DECREED.

WASHINGTON, D. with the
aid of the French ambassador, NJ.
Jusserand, reformation in women's
dress styles for 1918, with a saving
of 25 per cent, in the amount of ma
terial used, has been effected by the
commercial economy board of the
council of national defense.
Mems clothing styles also have
been simplifed and to a great extent
have standardized with a saying of
about 40 per cent. in material. The
story of how changes were wrought
in the proposed creations of Partisan
medistes for the American market
next year was told today by W. S.
Clifford, director of the council, in
announcing that the economy board
is studying the problem of so-called
essential and non-essential industries
with a view to effecting readjust-
ments as gradually as possible.
Shortage of Wool.
Faced with shortage of wool, the
economy board called on the French
ambassador and explained that con-
servation of cloth was necessary to
enable the nation to provide uni
forms for its armies. M. Jusserand
communicated with his government
with the result that the cooperation
of the designers was secured. Whetb-
er dresses will be cut shorter or tight
er or merely less elaborate has not
been announced.
While the economy board frowne
on the use of unnecessary belts and
trimmings, the public will not be urg-
ed to forgo such luxuries, but the
makers will be asked to stop their
manufacture.

football with the Los Angeles Athletic Club next fall

Approximately eighty basketball
 teams will compete here in the P. A. A. championship tournament, which will open here about the middle Of
 next month. Large entries from the
 San Juan valley, Tonopah, Reno, Los
 Angeles and San Diego have been re- ceived by the registration committee. l It has not yet been decided where the games in San Francisco are to be played. but an effort will be made to obtain the Exposition auditorium. The games in Oakland will be played In the Oakland Municipal auditorium, while places are still to be selected | for the tournaments to be played in Big Pines, Tonopah and Los Angeles. The teams will play in five weight divisions, consisting of 110, 120, 130 Strict precautions will be taken by various committees who have been appointed to see that the teams do not train down out of their own weight division, which would necessitate at weighing time the serving of refresh ments, or other methods to put the team back at proper weight which, as result in most cases, would make them unfit for the rival players.
 The army and navy teams have al. ready signed their entry blanks and will be among the first teams to set tie their differences. The tournament probably will come to a close some time in the middle of February, the winners being presented with the championship and gold medals.
 An athlete who permits any one to make arrangements for his appear ance at any of the games will be dis. qualified from participation. This means that members of all basketball teams must register in order to re- tain their amateur standing Mem bers Of teams failing to do so or com peting against teams whose members are not registered are liable to be barred from competition in the tour nament, or any sport under the juris- diCtiOn of the A. A. U., including track, swimming and boxing.

Opposition Springs Up 10 Confirmation Of
Certain Recess Appointments But
May Not Be Effective
GOVERNORS MESSAGE
DELIVERED TODAY
Recommends Life Imprisonment or Death
for Bank Robbers, Creation Of Com
mission and Other Acts
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Oklahoma City, Jan. 4.-When the
senate went into executive session
again opposition sprung up against
the confirmation of certain recess ap-
bointments by the governor but it is
not believed that the opposition will
be sufficiently strong tolblock the con-
firmation Of any of the appointees.
An effort was made to refer some of
the nominations to committees but
the discussion developed overwhelm-
ing objection to such action. Objec-
tions outside of the senate had been
heard since yesterdays adjournment.
However, all appointments are expect
ed to be confirmed before adjourn
mnt today.
The compulsory establishment Of
telegraph offices in the capitol build
ing and lower rates for newspapers on
telegraph stories out of the capitol is
being discussed. Whether such agita-
ton should go before the corporation
commission or come up for considera-
tion in the legislature has not been de.
cided by those backing the idea. Rep
resentatives Of newspapers in the
southern part of the state are behind
the move, arguing that their papers
cannot print much legislative news
because the price of transmission is
prohibitiye.
Senator Clarence Davis, Of Sapulpa,
announced today that Freeman Miller,
of Saltwater, had charges to bring
against three members Of the board Of
agriculture who are now up for con
firmation. Miller was formerly a pro-
fessor at the "A. and M. college. He
was given ever night to produce his
charges
The governor is still working on his
meen a is expected to finish it
might and have it ready for the legis-
lature tomorrow.

PEACE GUARANTY
Colonel Roosevelt Attacks Wilson Note
aud Presidents Way Of Handling
Great Question
By United Press.

By United Press.
Washington, Jan THE fight over
the Hitchcock resolution endorsing
the peace note sent to the European
belligerents by President Wilson had
not taken decided lineup when the
senate convened at noon today, but
there were evidences that the admin
istration leaders were whipping the
recalcitrants into line for a solid stand
in favor Of the resolution.
Some Of the Democratic leaders
claimed that several Republican mem
bers would vote with the Democrats.
Declaring that "the people who are
sighting the war ought to make their
own peace" and correcting slightly re-
marks made anent the German ambas-
sador during his speech in the senate
yesterday, Senator Lodge opened the
fight against the resolution endorsing
Wilson'S note this afternoon
Lodge counsellcd against entangle-
ments in European affairs. EN-
dorsement Of this note, with its idea
Of world guaranty Of peace, would in
volye such ENHANCEMENT in contra
yention Of the traditional American
aloofness" the senator asserted. Con-
tinuing Lodge said;
"When we abandon our traditional
policy Of separation we are taking
long step and we ought to know where
we are going" Lodge pointed out that
the German reply to the Wilson note
sought conference Of the belliger-
ents and rejected the idea Of immedi-
ate consideration Of the plan for
world league to enforce peace.
Senator Lewis followed Lodge and
supported the adoption Of the Hitch
cock resolution.
