FINAL DEFEAT Of
BORLAND MEASURE
NOWLOOMSLA

Strong probability OF the final de-
feat of the Borland amendment to in
crease the working hours OF Govern
ment clerks and employees doomed up
today.
After weeks OF effort to block the
movement for lengtheninE the work
ing hours. the friends of the clerks
and employees feel today they are in
position to repa the drive made by
Borland and his hackers.
Decision OF the question now is up
to the conference committee OF the
two houses on the agricultural bill.
Its action. OF course. is subject to
ratification by both Senate and House.
Reverses Its Action.
The Senate. however, reversing Its
prior action. has gone on record by
the decisive vote OF 40 to 80 against
the Borlsnd amendment to the aEri
cultural bill
This Is looked on as Indicative of
the sentiment in the Senate as to the
Borland plan, not only with respect to
the agricultural bill but other bills,
such as the legislative.
The Senate struck the Borland
amendment from the agricultural bill
last evening after unsuccessful at
tempts to get overtime amendments
considered.
Hinges on Overtime.
1t Is admitted on all hands that II
provision were made for overtime the
Senate would be closely divided on the
question OF lengthening the working
day to eight hours. II Is not at all
out OF the questio nthat q majority OF
the Senate would support an eight
hour day plus provision for payment
for overtime.
However, II the conferees follow the
rules they cannot consider overtime.
1t is expected the Senate agricultural
bill confereeS in view OF the strength
OF the vote against the Borland
amendment, will hold out strongly
against It. The House conferees, too.
may be expected to be obdUrate and
a prolonged wrestle in conference Is
generally anticipated.
The Borland amendment to the agrl-
cultural bill was put on in the House.
Then the Senate in committee OF the
whole adopted IT by the narrow vote
OF % to 20. But the subject was
brought up again late yesterday and
then the Senate changed its previous
attitude and went heavily against the
amendment.
Senator Sheppard of Texas led
the fight to have the Borland amend
ment stricken from the bill.
Senator Shafroth sought to have
the rules suspended so as to make q
time and a half overtime amendment
in order. But this was voted down.
Comes Up Again.
The Senate will have another tug
of-war on the Borland amendment
soon when the legislative bill is re-
ported from the Senate Appropria-
lions Committee. The House hitched
the Borland amendment to that bill.
Included in the same bill is the in
crease OF pay OF 100000 Government
employees OF s120 per year.
In the course OF his argument for
overtime allowance, Senator Shafroth
said:
"Only work that is done cheerfully
Is worth while work, and you may
be sure that the enactment OF the
Borlsnd amendment alone will only
breed discomfort, and be loss to the
Government"
Senator GallinEer said he had
changed his mind since voting for |
mittee OF the Whole. and would vote
against it.
II have received scores OF letters
against. the amendment"
said Senator Gallinger.

tune. Satin does not wear so long as wool, perhaps, but then it does not cost as much in the first place, so things are capitalized once more. The cry of wool, wool, for our army and navy must be needed.
 The shops on Fifth avenue are fas- cinatingly tempting. They fairly teem with lovely things, sheer dresses to be worn even now in the sunny South, far from coal famines and snowstorms. Lightweight wraps there are, too, of taffeta, perhaps, with lining of flannel to make them practical for raw spring days-for, alas, even in spring there are days that are decidedly unpleasant.
 About Skirts.
 The truth is that the styles are really very much what they were last year, only smarter! (Are not the styles of this year always smarter and more becoming than those of last?) Skirts are good bit mar rover, and they are oh, so straight, except when they are not! Some times there are tucks, even groups of tucks, to break the monotony. One perfectly adorable little dress that l saw on Fifth avenue was gray or gandie with a wide hem, then six tiny tucks, then a tuck of two inches. then six more narrow ones, until the hipline was reached. The front breadth then formed tiny apron with the same effect of narrow tucks and a wide one. The waist was ex- tremely simple, a fold of organdie be- ing put straight around the neck to the waistline. Valenciennes lace edg- ed this collar effect, the wide tucks, and the turned-back cuffs on the three-quarter sleeves. The girdle was of French blue gros-grain ribbon, tied in simple bow in front Can't you see just how fetching the whole thing was?
 Combinations of materials are the
The Coconino sun., 1918-02-22

order of the day. One can wear frock that is made of one material only, if it is very smart and becoming, and feel that it is stylish too, but the dress where plain material and figured one, or materials of different colors, are combined is really the last word in smartness. Then, too, it is a real economy, for there are surprising things in store for the person who does combine colors and materials nicely, in the small amount needed. The dress Illustrated here is fore runner of summer. Straight and sim pie as it can be, the lowered voile is charming combined with the plain voile of the upper waist and girdle. The sleeves are tight (what sleeves are not these days when we almost need a shoe-horn to get into them ?, but they, too, are conserving mate rial! The ever-present knitting bag has one of those stunning applique motifs on it, and if they were not so carefully chosen the brilliant colors would clash horribly and the result be hideous, for they are brilliant blue, arrange, and yellow in between mus tard and lemon.
 Pipings, Hemstitching and Tucks.
 There are several interesting things one can do to materials that will ab- solutely take the place of trimming. One may pipe the seams in white, black or contrasting color; one may put in tucks, in groups or plaid eff fleets, or singly, and one may have the frock hem stitched, also in groups, plaid effects or singly. Several rows of hemstitching above the hem of a dress are most effective, and of course another possibility is the picot edge. Collars may have tiny ruffles

NEW YORK WAR FASHIONS;
 SPRING SENSE-AND CENTS

New York in war time, fashionable New York, is extremely interesting to the observant person. There are so many makeshifts that point the way, as mile posts do. There are quaint little frocks of the oft-scorned calico, gingham, humble null and other cot tons. All-wool is taboo;, we must combine little wool with deal of silk if we are truly patriotic. The cry of expense, of the pocketbook rul- ing in the long run, is being cast aside. Silks are not more expensive than serge or gaberdine, those stand bys for the early spring walking cos

Simplicity-and Bordered Material. of the same material as the dress, with either narrow lace or picot edg- ing. Still, with all the cry of the trimmingless dress, there is good deal of embroidery on the more elab- crate things. Applique designs in felt, satin, silk, or gingham or percale are most effective, and they are being used on the hems of dresses, on pan els, and, of course, collars and cuffs.
 Indeed, there is no end to the ways in which you can give your dress an individual touch. Stripes, if they are becoming to you, can be utilized in numerous ways for trimming. Then, too, there is the new fad for ribbon weaving on pockets, belts and collars and cuffs of sport suits. The ribbon used is about an inch wide and in two colors-pastel shades usually are chosen-and is woven in and out the way they weave papers in kindergar- tens.
 For BOrdered Materials.
 There are many pretty ways in which bordered material may be made up this year. One of the prettiest is to use the border for the tunic skirt or if bordered effect is desired on plain materials, transfer design may be used. The one-sided collar is quite fashion feature for spring, 1918, and in this one the cuffs follow suit with the same one-sided effect. Note the attractive knitting bag the lady carries. Quite like a Chinese coolie's hat, is it not, with its long tassel?

 Are You a Sammy Backer?
 We read a great deal just now about the Sammy Backers". Do you know what Sammy Backer" is? We'll, that's the one back home to whom the, soldier boy looks for en- couragement when he is Respondent, for help when he is in trouble or sick, for letters, for eats, for books, papers, and best of all, perhaps for someone who can come and visit him and thus break the spell of homesick- ness and the monotony of his routine camp life.
 Think of the privilege of 'having been" or still being, Sammy Backer! You are--for you've subscribed to the Y. NJ. c. A.-you're worker in the Red Cross-you've bought Smilage Book-you've done your bit for the Knights of Columbus-you own Lib erty Bond you have little start on a Thrift card and the glorious part of it all is that you just "keep on keeping on." That's the glorious part of America's patriotism. We'll be proud some day we had share. And oh, we forgot how much food conser- vation counts! One Japanese express ed it, "It makes me bashful to thir do no more than refrain from best food. I wish to be best American money can buy.

 Explains Red Cross Work.
 Mrs. Porter has been a very busy chairman this week. Besides her us- ual duties we found her on Wednes- day morning addressing the Normal students in the assembly hall. The students have been most loyal and en- thusiastic supporters of every ven- ture put forth locally in behalf of the Red Cross.
 Quite graciously she responded to the request to explain fully the work the local chapter was accomplishing and the big things they still antici- pate accomplishing.
 She also was glad to tell of the work being done for the little Frenc' and Belgian orphans, displaying some of the neat little garments being made for them already.

The Quaker City Motor Club is en-
gagged on especially helpful work for the
enlisted men at Allentown and Camp
Dix in particular. Several of the menu
bers Of the club have Sons and relatives
stationed at these camps. The work has
assumed a personal aspect that distin-
gushes it from a great deal of similar
work done by like organizations. For
instance, the $500 worth of blankets.
comforts, bathrobes, sweaters, helmets.
wristets, socks, etc, that have been
made and donated by the members and
their friends were taken to the camps
personally and distributed by them 10

Of the organization has been untlring

The musical entertainment was fol-
lowed by an enjoyable dance.

PACIFIC COAST PICTURED
E. NJ. Newman Shows the Glories of
California, Oregon and Washington

The second lap Of T.. NJ Newmans'
race around the United States embraced
the States Of California, Oregon and
Washington last evening at the Acad-
emy of Music. Instead Of creating the
desire to travel upon the part Of his
audience, Mr. Newman has taken this
away by his interesting style of dcscrip-
tiun and his correctly colOred stereopti-
can views, The few moving pictures
shown were most interesting, and the
audible comments of his hearers at
tested to the cooperative spirit Of the
audience,
When the famous ostrich farm was
shown in the movies II reminded the
reviewer of animated Cinco cigar signs,
while the scenes showing the making
of a movie at Universal City were made
funny by their description. The secret
of manufactured tears by the simple
aid Of an ammonia bottle held close to
the eyes and the champion rabbit Of the
world were both interesting and ludi-
crous. The grandeur of our pacific coast
States was capably brought out and a
special novelty was found in the cultsya-
tion Of the newly created Loganberry, a
product obtained by the grating Of a
blackberry and a raspberry, Another
newly pictured place was the beautiful
Tahoe lake. Tn largest chicken farm
