Another record has been smashed. The forty-first year of Uncle Joe Can non's service as a congressman ex- pired on March 4, 1918, without his ever having in all that time indulged in the popular congressional indoor sport of correcting the Record" which means that the member has been misquoted or has said something that does not look well in print It Is likely that the Danville sage had long considered himself immune But one day within a month after this forty first anniversary saw Uncle Joe rising to point out an awkward typographi- cal error In the Record which made it appear that some other congressman's speech had been delivered by the Illi- nois veteran. However, Uncle Joe will have the satisfaction of knowing that his record is one that is likely to stand as long as congress stands.

of trimming for our frocks and fur

their popularity. perhaps Some have
said that they are used by Paris as
a tribute TO America because our an
