LABOR BARS DRAFT FIGHT
Socialists at Chicago Defeated BY
Unanimous Vote.

Chicago, July 2.-SOcialist delegates
to the Chicago Federation Of Labor
tried again to have that body declare
against conscription, but were defeat
ed by practically unanimous vote.
A request from the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor for Endorsement of
the Lever food bill also was fought
by the Socialists, led by Christian
Madsen. The federation, however, in
structed the executive board to in
dorse any bill that would decrease the
cost of living, but to oppose any ac-
ton that would repeal any clause in
the Clayton act.
"If the Lever bill is defeated it will
permit the vampires who have bled
the people by high prices to con-
tinue," declared Delegate Hillman.

U. S. FOOD TO GERMANY
Scandinavia and Holland Supply
Fats for Army.
Hoover Tells Why America Has Been
Compelled to Control Shipments
to Certain Countries.

Washington, July 2.-The United
States unwittingly has been furnish
ing Germany with the foods she lacks
for successful prosecution of the war.
Fats in sufficient quantity to ra-
ton all of Germany's 100000 men
under arms are entering the Teu-
tonic empires from Holland and Scan
dinavia.
Holland and Scandinavia get these
products, directly or indirectly, from
the United States. Hence, the ad-
ministration's desire for speed in
enforcing the embargo authorized
by congress.
These fats contain 12O calories per
day for each individual in the Ger
man empire, or 6 per cent of the per
capita diet, according to the regula-
ton ration.
Herbert G. Hoover, food admins
traitor, made public the export figures
which have impelled the United States
to control shipments to these cOun-
tries. The figures come from English
sources. They are regarded as con-
servative.
The following table shows, in
metric tons, exports of Holland and
Scandinavia to GERMANY in 1916:

To Know How To Be Ready

To know how to be ready is a great
thing. 1t Is a precious faculty that
implies forethought, grasp, and deci-
sion. To attain 1t, one must know
how to sever, for one cannot untangle
everything; one must know how to
divide the essential from the minutiae
that envelop it; in one word, one

FOR RAINY DAY IN SUMMER
One-Piece Dress of Dark Material Of
fers Solution to Problem Confront
ing Many Women.

Everyone wishes to dress as cOmfOr-
tably cool as possible when the Their
mometer is doing it's best to register
as far above the nineties as possible.
Lightweight clothes, light colOrs and
sensible styles are necessary for sum-
mer comfort. There are days, how
ever, when light dress looks out OF
place, and vet the atmosphere is so
full Of humidity that one must nave
something cool. The one-piece dress OF
a dark color is the solution to this
problem which confrontS every wOm-
an, but is more serious for the woman
who goes to business every day. Dark
blue is perhaps the color that will be
most welcomed, although dark green
is close second. There should be at
least one or two frocks of this color
in every summer wardrobe.
AS for the materials Of which to
make them, there are many sugges-
tons to give. Wolfe is very wise Sc
lection. 1t is cool, it does not add bulk
to the figure and it launders beautiful
ly. Handkerchief linen is another de-
lightful material, although the objec-
ton that is likely to be raised to this
is the fact that it muses. quickly. One
business woman who is always the
picture of neatness and GOODNESS even
on the hottest day upholds the adj
yantages of having at least two dark
silk dresses in the summer wardrobe.
She is partial. to crepe de chine and
lightweight taffeta. Whichever she
selects is combined with geOrgette
crepe, for with sleeves of this material
a frock cannot help but be cool.

MANY NOVELTIES IN CAPEs
This Article of Apparel Seems to Be
Becoming Smarter and Odder, But
in Some Cases ImpracticabIe.

Capes get smarter and Odder, al
though, in some cases, more impracti-
cable. White pidne for an under waist
coat, for instance, is not practical at
all, but is very good to see, combined
with navy-blue tricotine. The cape
ties with a block silk bow at the
ithfeAat, just below the outstanding pique
collar, and repeats this effect at the
belt of black silk. It finishes in
point at the back.
Navy blue serge with lightweight
white serge lining showing at the turn
ing cliffs and collars is the material of
another one. The back is panel at
taching to the front with buttons I'M
der the arm openings. Braid weaves
in and out from the shoulders down
ito the waist, in and out of folds of the
material. Braid also fastens the high
collar.
A little cape and waistcoat combina-
ton is in navy blue serge for the cape,
black and white flannel for the waist
coat. and white flannel for the collars

POCKET IS IN VOGUE AGAIN
After a Brief LuII 1t Makes Appear
ance on Evening Gowns as Well
as on Sports Clothes.

s The majority of experts confidently
predicted the end of pockets last win
ter, and for while there was no
ticeable absence of them. The dress
makers thought that there was nothing
new to be found in these appendages,
but the late spring season brought
them out in full force again, and
good many new ideas seem to have
been discovered for their summer
vogue.
They do not limit their appearance
to sports clothes, but have become
smart bit of trimming on evening
gowns. In the latter capacity they are
made of colored tulle heavily threaded
with jewels, and on one especially good
gown they are carried like small buck
cts by long rope of brilliants that
passes around the neck.
There are pockets that drOOp and
pockets that are squarely placed across
the material in a military manner.
There are pockets that are shocked,
quilted, embroidered and SOutached.
On white wool jersey skirts there are
large pockets trimmed in the peasant
manner of applying design in bright
colored cloth with buttonhole stitch.

PARIS WOMEN WEAR BR0GANS
Scotch Shoes, With overhaneing
Tongue, Come Into Fashion in
French Metropolis.

From Paris comes word that the low
shoes, which well-dressed women of
that city are wearing, are especially
meant to go with the new length Of
skirt which the majority of the French
cOuturiers have advocated.
Many of the new shoe fashions have
been taken from those worn by ac-
tresses in successful plays running
during the winter at French theaters.
Some of these include low-cut shoes
tied with wide ribbons, the loops stand
ing out in Louis XIII fashion. Others
suggest the interlacing ankle strap for
the low shoes. Then there are colonial
pumps, which seem always to be in
good style, particularly as the accom-
paniment of the tailored type of cos
tune.
The Scotch brogan with its oveIsS
hanging tongue is said to be coming
into fashion among some of the
Partisan women who advocate distinc-
ton in their shoes. The perforated
decorations of the Scotch brogan have
been copied in some of the high shoes.

Such extravagant homage was en-
barrassing, yet no woman could be
wholly displeased by admiration so

Stores were empty, the people were
idle. Over all was an atmosphere of
decay, and, what was far more signif-
cant, the people seemed content.
All morning the monotonous journey
continued-a trial to Alaire and Dolo-
res, but to Jose Sanchez a red-letter
experience. He covered the train from
end to end, making himself acQuaint-

Alaire the gossip that he picked up.
1t was not until midday that the first
interruption occurred; then the train
pulled in Upon siding, and after an
interminable delay it transpired that a
northbound troop-train was expected.

CHAPTER v.
A Journey, and a Dark Man.

~ Journey dIIQ q S0A n
Alaire's preparations for the journey
to La Feria were made with little de-
lay. Owing to the condition of affairs
across the border, Ellsworth nad
thought it well to provide her with let
tiers from the most influential Mexl-
cans, in the neighborhood; what Is
more, in order to pave her way toward
a settlement Of her claim he succeeded
in getting a telegram through to Mex
leo Ellsworth's influence was not
bounded by the Rio Grande.
Alaire took Dolores with her, and for
male escort she selected, after some
deliberation, Jose Sanchez, Nher horse
breaker. Benito could not well be
spared. Sanchez had some force and
initiative, at least and Alaire had no
reason to doubt his loyalty. The party
went to Pueblo by motor. On the fol-
lowing day, Alaire secured her pass
ports from the federal headquarters
across the Rio Grande, while Jose at
tended to the railroad tickets. On the
second morning after leaving home the
party was borne southwark into Mex
leo.
The revolution had ravaged most of
northern Mexico; long rows of rusting
trucks and twisted car skeletons beside
the track showed how the railways
rolling stock had suffered in this par
ticular vicinity; and as the train pene-
trated farther south temporary trestles
and the charred ruins Of station houses
spoke even more eloquently Of the
struggle. Now and then a steel water
tank, pierced with loopholes and ripped
by cannon balls, showed where some
detachment had made stand. There
was military guard on the train,
too-a dozen unkempt soldiers loaded
down with rifles and bandoliers of car
tridges, and several officers, neatly
dressed in khaki, who rode in the first
class coach and occupied themselves
by making eyes at the women.
At it's frequent stops the train was
besieged by the customary crowd of
curious poems: the same noisy buck
sters dealt out enchiladas, tortillas,
goat cheeses and coffee from the same
dirty baskets and pals; even their out
stretched hands seemed to bear the ia
miliar CRIME of ante-belIum days. The
coaches were crowded; women famed
themselves increasingly; their men
snored, open-mouthed, over the backs
Of the seats, and the aisles were full
Of squalling, squabbling children.
AS for the country itself, it was dy-
ing. The ranches were stripped, Of
stock, no carts creaked along the high
ways, and the roads, like the little
farms, were growing up to weeds.

yet on the hand of this splendid bar

traitors of this outrage at once.

business. 1t is matter for men,"
She endeavored to speak in brisk,
businesslike tone. ia Feria belongs
to me. I am woman of affairs, Cen
eral Longorio, and you must talk to

An Appealing Touch.

What hOmemaker does not have to
confront this problem? Arranging flow
ers every day for the dining and liv-
ing rooms, hunting out original, eff
fective flower holders for luncheon or
dinner table is one of the pleasures
of the day. Not yet too well known
is the wicker central mound with COM
partment for tiny canary, over which
flowers and green can be so well ar
ranged that if starting pipes up, his
song comes as a complete surprise.
