variety. Or, if not that, what is the
psychic significance of the hard-boiled
collar?
But. alas. the hard-boiled collar must
go. You ask, why must this symbol of
dignity, this emblem of "kultur" go?
Because haberdashery convention in
Chicago has said it. Then the ques
ton naturally arises, why did the Chi
sago haberdashery meet and endeavor
to discredit and then suppress the an
cient and honorable hard-boiled col
lar? Again, why? Just because it
is a starch consumer, and starch is
valuable food. These are war times,
and potatoes, from which starch for
the hard-boiled collar is made, are
selling at four dollars a bushel.
The argument of these haberdashers
has some reason to it-that must be
admitted. But can't we economize
some other how and save the sacred
hard boiled collar? Is civilization to
go down with smash because the war
hrs raised the price Of potatoes to
four dollars a bushel ?-The Brick
layer and Mason.

WARE CHAIN LETTERS
State Council of Defense Is
sues Warning Against Use
of Mails For Chain Letters.

The warning has been issued
by the State Council of Defense
to persons who may have receiv-
ed copies of a chain letter which
asks contributions to fund to
provide anesthetics for the
wounded soldiers in France.
The council was advised by a
telegram from Washington that
a chain letter had started from
ZIG Second Avenue, New York
City the original being signed by
Miss E. Whitney. The letter
asks the persons receiving it to
write letters to five friends ask
ing them to send 25 cents to
Miss Whitney and to continue
the chain by writing to five
friends.
The State Council is asked to
advise the people of Wisconsin
against making contributions
to any request for funds that
does not bear the approval Of
the regularly constituted organi-
cations in Washington.
The point is made, further,
that this chain letter, in common
with others, is a violation of the
postal laws, and that no letters
which are a part of this chain or
which transmit money because
of this appeal will be allowed to
go through the mail.

ing's place. Many factions are
united in a desire for a special
election and confident they will
secure such a call. Governor
Philip is opposed to a special
election.
Primarily for the purpose of in
creasing the states wheat pro-
duction the governor has arrang-
ed to include a new drainage bill
in the call giving the state engin-
eer and the state agricultural
college practical control over the
draining of state lands. 1t is
understood the governor will
strongly urge passage of this
measure.
Appropriations for putting the
state on a good fighting basis
will be asked. The call will seek
a bill providing arms, ammuni-
ton and equipment for the state
home guards.

SPECIAL SESSION LATER
Governor E. L. Philip Will
Not Make Call Until After
Holidays-Much War Leg
islation On List.

Governor E. L. Philip now is
not expected to call the special
session of the legislature until
after the Christmas holidays.
The governor has said he
would give the legislature thirty
days notice of the session. A
call within the next few days
would convene the legislaturejust
before the holidays necessitating
a recess of about a week. In the
few days before the holidays lit
tie business could be accomplish
ed and the program would suffer.
That the session will convene
early in January is generally ac-
copied. Should the governor
call the lawmakers for a few
days session before the holidays
it would barely give opportunity
for introduction of few bills.
The printing establishment prob
ably could not get them printed
in time for the legislators to
take them home for study dur
ing the holidays.
Much more business will be in
cluded in the call than anticipat-
ed, it is believed. The session
although desired brief by the
governor-apparently will last
four or FIVE weeks at least. In
all probability it will last longer.
Practically everything in the
call will have bearing on Wis
consin's part in the war. Gov
ernor Philip previous to the
call. has indicated definitely but
a few things to be covered.
Probably the most important
from a political viewpoint will
be his request for power to ap-
point a successor to the late
United States Senator Paul o.
Husting.
Governor Philipp's recent an
announcement that he would ask
for a bill permitting national
army men of the state who are
in training camps to vote, Great
ed wide spread interest. 1t is be-
lieved this subject was called tor
by the forces advocating a spec
ial election to fill Senator Hust-
