WOULD UTILIZE DRAFT
AS STRIKE PREVENTIVE
Senator Thomas Plans an Amend
ment to Penalize Absence From
n. War-P1ant Service.

As q means Of protecting the country
against the disastrous effect Of strikes
in munition plants, shipyards and other
concerns. whose products are essential
to carrying on the war. Senator Thomas
Of Colorado Is planning - offer an
amendment to the new nan-power bin.
which would provide that where exemp-
lions from draft are glen because Of the
need Of the men in Industries. an alb
sence Of five consecutive days from
work for any other reason than sick
ness would cause the exemption to be
waived.
The effect Of such . law would be
that If a large1number Of men should
strike in q shipyard or in munitions
plant and remain OF from work for
i've days. they would Immediately be
subject to military draft.
Senator Thomas has been keenly
aroused over the strikes which have
taken place in this country in recent

ernment should take steps to prevent
the halting Of necessary 'waE work in

An all-American idea has been taken
up and is being exploited by the manu-
facture-s Of high-class sweaters. 1t Is
the Introduction of decorations that
look like and are inspired by the bead
work and other ornamental work done
by American Indians on their gar
ments. 1t Is odd that this source of
inspiration has not been more freely
used, because 1t belongs to our own
country and is distinctive and pic
turesque.
Anyone having poor opinion Of the
ornamental beadwork and feather
work done by the Indians will gain re-
spect for them by looking into the mat
ter. In museums there are collections
of their headdresses and garments
that are surprising. They have Law
ished patient work on them and their
designing and color work are worth
studying.
One OF those new sweaters that
carry the imagination back to the days
of the pioneers is shown at the left Of
the picture. Instead of being made Of
fine doeskin, slashed ipto fringe at
the bottom. lit is Of oyster-white silk,
with deep fringe OF silk about the
bottom. 1t Is square-necked. long
shouldered slipover, with the arms
eye artfully shaped and finished, and
there are no sleeves.
About the neck and down the front
what appears at first glance to be a
pattern wrought in colored beads Is a
machine embroidery of small loops or
knots. The girdle Is OF the same silk
as the sweater and terminates In
