WAR SERVICE COMMITTEES
ASKED IN ALL INDUSTRIES

A general call on American bust
ness to form war service committees
tn every branch of industry to cc-
operate with the government has
been made by the Chamber Of Com.
merce Of the United States. The
committees will absorb the functions
OF the Industries Committees Of the
Council Of National Defense.
The war service committees will
deal directly with the defense coun-
CHS War Industry Board now in
vestigating government purchases.
They will assist in apportioning gov
eminent orders and will aid in de-
termining priority matters.

Mrs. Wilson was very simply dress
ed, but she seemed immensely inter-
ested in hustle dresses on the stage
and the costumes scattered every
where over the house.
Picturesque, indeed, are the COM
promises effected by fashion. The
dresses are in the same wonderful
tints and colors that have always
been favorites perhaps though trifle
subdued. Some are high in the back,
square or round in front, with long
sleeves of tulle or very short ones of
the same material as the bodice or
the overskirt. The waist that is cut
straight across from shoulder to
shoulder is very popular this year,
for it gives the effect Of a higher
neck.
Simplicity and Lack of Trimming
There is very little trimming on
the new models. They seem to rely
to a great extent on their line and
color, and charming indeed is the re-
suit. One Of the most attractive of
the new modes in evening gowns is
illustrated here. It is Of rose-colored
satin, bodice and skirt, with a 1lmy
overskirt of tunic of soft mist-gray
chiffon, stitched on the lower edge
with. rose-colored silk in the long,
loose stitch which makes such fas-
cinating trimming. The collar and
the short sleeves of the chiffon are
stitched in the same manner.
HooI Toc%a -, C1in,%nrc
Just a word here about the slippers
for evening, and the difference be-
tween those in good taste and those
that are just trifie too ornate and
overturned. Life has invented a
new word, the verb ito hoOve,"
meaning to conserve, and it is now
being widely used. One must
''hove" ones food, of course, and
equally, of course, one must "hoove''
ones trimmings on every article OF
ones dress. Slippers that are good
form are very plain, indeed. The
long vamp is still with us; heels dc
not seem to be quite so high as for
merly, for they. too, have been
"hoove' ones food, of course, and
the dress, is the first choice. A
rhinestone buckle placed high on the
slipper is very fashionable. Then one
of the latest ideas in slipper decora
ZION is a tiny bow of satin, a single
bow of ribbon a quarter of an incl
wide, perhaps. Many of the fal
brides have chosen this for their wed
ding slippers. It gives the foot tn
long, narrow effect that Is so distinct
i've. Slippers of brocade, OF meta
cloth, or of combinations Of plail
and figured materials are worn onl.
i on the most formal occasions. In
deed, the all-black or all-white slip
Ipef is always appropriate and in goo'
taste. Stockings must OF course
match the costume and the slipper.

COMPOSED Opera In Bed.

One at least, of Rossini's operas wa1
composed in bed. 1t was when ne was
young, poor and unknown, and lived In
wretched quarters. After writing q
duet the composer allowed his manu-
script to slip off the sheets and fall
under the bed. Rossini was too COM
Portable to get up, and, moreover, he
believed it would be unlucky to col
lect the sheets, so he went to work to
re-write the duet. TO his disgust, he
could not remember it. It was there
i'ore necessary to write Il new one

centuries formed the Shoshone gorge.
Wonder of the Gorge.
At the upper end of the lake the
road turns into the valley of the North
Fork of Shoshone river and skirts the
boundaries of several large ranches,
many of which are favOrite resorts Of
the big game hunter. AS the road con-
tinues westward beyond the ranch
lands, a very mountainous region ap-
pears. The Shoshone national forest
is entered at point where the valley
suddenly narrows to deep canyon.
High mountains on each side of the
river stand like huge sentinels at the
gates Of the forest.
Proceeding into the canyon, many
every side. The mountains are COM
posed principally Of red sandstone and
have been carved into a million fam
tastic shapes by wind and water
erosion.
Signs attract the attention of visi.
tors to the peculiarly shaped forma-
tons, the most interesting Of which
are Holy City, Chimney Rock, Clock
Tower, Hole in the Wall, Dead Indian,
Elephants Head, Duck, Manned Hand,
and Pinnacle Point. AS the park
boundary is approached the noun
tains become more rugged and tim
Der growth becomes heavier. The
principal species Of trees are Douglas
fir and Engleman spruce. -,
Just after crossing the middle fork
of the Shoshone river and leaving it
to the right, as the road proceeds up
Middle Creek, Pahaska Tepee is
reached. This is an old hunting lodge
built and owned for many years by
Buffalo Bill, and is very beautifully
situated in the forest. Supplies of va
rious kinds may be obtained at this
point.
Two and four-tenths miles farther
up Middle Creek the park boundary a,
the eastern gateway is reached.

DoQ Proverbs.

AS one traces the prOverbial corr.
ments on dogs through the concentrate.
ed wisdom of the nations, their SINH,
larity is most impressive, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. For example,
the Latins told one another to "Be-
ware of a silent dog and still waters"
concluded that dumb dogs and still
waters are dangerous" and character
lied an insidious traducer as "a dog
that bites silently"
The Russians, who were slightly in
fluenced by the Latin races, say that
"dOgs bark and the wind carries it
away" but the French, Spaniards, Ger
mans and English, who have inherited
more than they wish to acknowledge
from ancient Rome all agree that
"barking dogs don't bite" and we have
also in English the warning to have
q care for silent dog and still water"
which Is clearly a free translation Of
the Latin original.

Entire Island Rebuilt,

In Southwest bay, Malekula, one of
the New Hebrides group, is situated a
tiny sugar-loaf-shaped island, which
was entirely rebuilt some years ago
by order of the English admiralty at
the request of a native chief.
The original island was selected by
the commander of an English warship
as handy object for target practice.
It was practically blown to pieces. The
chief of Malekula objected, and the
captain of the man-of-war was ordered
to make good the damage done by his
guns.

THE GATH CONGRESS
ENDS At NOON TODAY

Washington, Mar. 3.-The second
session of the Sixty-fourth conkress
will adjourn sine die at noon tomor-
row.
Adjournment actually may come
several hours after noon Sunday, but
tonight the congress clocks will be
stopped and set right again only after
the present congress is history.
There will be no extra session un-
Ill June at the earliest unless in
ternational possibilities make II es-
sential that senate and house meet
sooner.
President Wilson today sent word
to his legislative leaders that he
would not call the Sixty-fifth con-
gress into extraordinary session un-
less the Sixty-fourth fails TO pass the
armed neutrality measure. II Is con-
fidently predicted by leaders Of both
parties this bill---as the president
wants twill go through both
houses.
The first work OF the next congress
when II is called in, and after the
month or more that may be neces-
aary for organization, will be to pass
any appropriation lost in the ruck
by the dying congress.
Even II the army appropriation
nill--one OF the most important
which congress handled is lost--the
president is determined not to call
the extra session. Senator Lodge and
other republican leaders have been
openly fighting for.

THE rILIBUSTER

The only excuse for q filibuster
against the program mapped out by
the president for the handling of the
foreign situation is that it might
force an extra session OF congress.
But even this can hardly justify the
giving OF the impression that there is
a divided sentiment in America in
support of the chief executive in this
crisis with Germany.
The bringing to light Of the at
tempt of Germany to foment trouble
for the United States with Mexico and
Japan even when the United States
was straining every point to main
tain friendship with Germany, has
proved that We are dealing with
treachery and must expect attack
from any quarter. There should be
a united front and a ready support
Of the president. Nevertheless, con-
gress can we'll feel that it should be
consulted in so momentous a ques-
tion, and 1t resents the unveiled de-
sire Of Mr.. Wilson to have congress
of his hands so that he may pur-
sue his own sweet will. There is
no monarch in all of Europe who
has the absolute authority in govern
mental affairs that Wilson would
take unto himself.
Germany seems intent upon fore
ing the United States into war. II
this is her desire there can be no
doubt about the outcome. for a con-
dition of war will follow even II a
declaration is not formally forth
coming. International law gives the
ships OF this country a right to sail
the seas. and while the nation has
been long suffering, the day must
come when action is going to be re-
quired. Congress and the president
should act in harmony when that day
comes.
