In Woman S Realm
What Is Known the Dressmakers Dress Has Won Immediate
Favor by Its Originality and BeautySmar Pepum Blouse
of Satin Has Hat Bordered With Fringe Of Ostrich.

The "dressmakers' dress" which is
heralded as the incoming mode, cannot
fail to win over admirers when 1t is
presented in models as chic as that
pictured. Nothing less than genius
ever succeeded in making a one-piece
dress of such originality and beauty,
that is equal to doing the duty of
suit. Note that there is a double
skirt, with the overskirt full and that
the bodice opens over an embroidered
vest. The vest and overskirt provide
as much warmth as the coat In a coat
suit.
In the picture, the underskirt seems
narrower than it really is. This effect
Is more a matter of straighter lines

Work Begun by Uncle Sam
In 1882 Not Yet Half Done

. A task which Uncle Sam un-
dertook in 1882 is now, after "a
: years work, less than half COM
pleted. This is the task Of cov-
ering the 100000 square miles
, of the United States with accur-
ate topographic surveys.
The standards of accuracy and
refinement in topographic sur
. veying have been constantly
raised by the topographic engi-
: neers, with the view of meeting
adequately every use to which
the resulting maps can be put.
The law provides for the sale of
the United States geological
, survey maps at the cost Of print
ing, charge that Is merely nom-
inal when 1t is realized that the
cost of an edition Of the printed
, map may be only small per-
centage of the cost of surveying
. the area it represents. The gov

and increasing use of these top
ographic maps, but the expen-
diture of public funds for these
, surveys is otherwise fully war
. ranted only as the public uses

the survey has recently given
. more attention to the wider dis
tribution of the maps.

GOOD FOR AsCENsIONI

This parish made fine record or
the 5th instant in connection with the
registration of her young citizens un.
der the recent act of congress. Toe
much cannot be said Of the cheerful,
and ready patriotism with which th&
young men of Ascension came for.
ward and had their names enrolled fo1
military service in case the country
needs them. Not single instance OF
protest or opposition occurred, so far
as we are informed, and if there were
any slackers, they kept very quiet and
have not yet been exposed. We
hope there were none, but if it I'M
fortunately transpires that some OF
our young fellow citizens did pur-
posely ignore and evade the moral
and legal duty of presenting them
selves for registration, it may be
taken for granted that they will be
hunted out and brought to severe ac-
count for their failure to obey the
law.
The registration board for the par
ish, composed of the sheriff, clerk of
court and coroner, are to be con-
graduated on the efficient and ex-
peditious manner in which the ar
rangements for the registration were
carried out. The sheriff is especially
entitled to credit for the activity
and good judgment he displayed in
planning the details and seeing that
the work proceeded smoothly. All
the registrars at the various polling
places, with one exception, served
without pay, thus "doing their bit' to-
ward starting the machinery of army
organization that is destined to
overwhelm our country's enemies and
serve the cause Of human liberty and
free government all over the world.
AS Ascension's young men respond
ed to the call for registration, so we
may be sure they will answer the
summons to render active military or
civil service when the government of
the United States sends it forth; and
if it shall be the lot of any of them to
go to the battle front, we cannot
doubt that they will acquit themselves
in manner worthy of the fame of AS
tensions valiant fighters in former
wars

Wilson Takes Oath of Office
For Second Time

Washington, March 4.-Presi-

flee for his second term at noon
today in his room at the capitol,
and will be formally inaugurated
tomorrow with public ceremon-
les reflecting a great expression
of Americanism.
Before a desk piled with Ex-
ecutive business laid before him
in the closing hours of Congress,
and surrounded by members of
his official family, the President
reaffirmed with uplifted hand
and grave features his promise
to uphold the Constitution IN
whatever crisis may confront
the Nation in the momentous
four years before it.
Alter ne mad repeated the oath
taken first by Washington a
Century and a quarter ago, he
kissed the Bible at the passage
reading:
The Lord is our refuge; an
ever present help in time of
trouble"
Chief Justice White admins
tered the oath and was the first
to extend his congratulations.
Wringing the Presidents hand,
the Chief Justice looked fervent-
ly into his face a moment, and

Prohibition Forces Gain Double
Victory

Washington. Feb. 2S.-Prohi-
bition won a double victory in
congress tonight when the house
passed, 273 to 137, the senate bill
to make the national capital dry
and senate and house conferees
on the postal appropriation bill
unanimously adopted an agree
ment under which the Reed
bone dry amendment is virtually
assured of enactment.
Hope on agreeing on the pos
tai supply measure had been
abandoned by the conferees,
who last night submitted a reso-
luton to continue existing postal
appropriations for another year.
Tonight. however, they got to-
gether on a report which in
cludes the Reed amendment,
prohibiting shipment of liquor
into prohibition States and
which they expect to present in
both houses tomorrow or Fri
day. The leaders thought to-
night there was no doubt of its
acceptance in senate and house.
Thev are taking it for granted,
too, that President Wilson will
approve both that and the Dis.
trlct of Columbia prohibition
bill.
