1910. Mr.. Whitaker has been at the head
of the institution since that time. He

reformatory. which received it's first

New York Convention Ends
Without Question Being
Answered.

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, July 10
with the eyes of the political leaders
of the state and nation focused on its
deliberations the New York Republic
can state Convention suddenly and
unexpectedly adjourned to-day leav-
ing unanswered many questions to
which replies were eagerly awaited
Chief among these was whether
Col. Theodore Roosevelt would con-
sent to enter the race for the gov
ernorship this fall. The prevailing
belief as the delegates left for their
homes was that he would. But In
the absence of any authentic state
ment from him either while he was
here yesterday or after movement
to nominate him assumed DEFINITE
and purposeful proportions the party
managers of all faction were as much
at sea as ever.

TO RETURN KAISER'S GIFT
IN THE SHAPE OF BULLETS

Washington, July 20.--Samuel 5.
Stein, of New York City, has sent to
the War Department a bronze me-
daIlion souvenir received from Ger
man sources, which he asked to have
melted into bullets for American
forces.
Stein declared he was a passenger
on the first voyage of the steamship
Imperator, and as such, received the
medallion, which shows a picture OF
the ship on one side and likeness
of the Kaiser on the other.
1T is my earnest wish" Stein
writes to the War Department, that
this piece of bronze be either melted
into bullets or used in some manner
that will rebound on the man whose
face is portrayed thereon-the man
who is our common enemy"

Women Play Part.

Although the convention just closed
was featured by the Capitalization OF
the Roosevelt boom it marked the
first appearance of the recently en-
franchised women in a big conven-
ton on a political equality with the
men.
The part played by the women was
not insignificant. Fully one-fith OF
the 1884 delegates were new voters
and a woman, Miss Mary Garrett
Hay. of New York, was made chair
man of the important Resolutions
Committee. which drafted the plat
form that was unanimously adopted.
Women, too, figured in one incl
dent that was not of harmony with
the rest of the session. This was
when a delegation of the more mill
tant National Woman's party dis
played from the crowded balconies oil
the convention hall big banner de-
handing the support of United States
Senator Wadsworth of the Federal
suffrage amendment or his resigna-
ton.

HOLDS SHOW BUSINESS
Is UNNECESSARY WORK

Oklahoma CITY, Okla, July 90
The recent order of the Oklahoma
Council of Defense in barring all car
nivals and tent shows has caused
much talk among the theatrical fol-
lowing all over the United States.
In answer to a recent query from the
the billboard" the following reasons
were given:
First, the carnivals and tent shows
employ number of people who
should be in profitable industry; next
a large number of the shows which
operate in this state are far from the
best morally many of them being
of the "forty-niner" variety; they
take from the country large amount
of money which could be used fol
war purposes, without bringing any
benefit to the people in exchange
especially in the harvest fields and
places where laborers are employed
they decrease the efficiency of farm
| labor"

PLUTOCRATS IN KHAKI.

The American soldier in France Is
the cock of the walk from the stand
mint of finance, for no other fighter
gets within speaking distance OF MS
war wages of s35 per month. The
noilu receives only a nickel a day or
$3.50 monthly. Tommy Atkins fares
hotter with $3.50 a month at home
and a bit more when he is lighting.
The poor Russian certainly gets
il in the neck" for allowance Is
mere penny a day. No other hghter
in the great war fares so meagrely'
The wages of the soldiers OF other ma
tions now busy behind the guns do
not approach the munificence OF Uncle
Sam to his boys in khaki. The ltail-
an gets $3.50 monthly, and the Jap
anese is paid IS a year.
The central powers are not compar-
able as paymasters with the nations
of the entente. The allies average
$3.50 a month and the enemy aver
ages $40 for the same ueriod. Ger
many pays $1.65 month, Turkey
go cents and Austria 70 cents.
The soldier boy in kahh could pay
out of his monthly wages one fighter
from each nation at war and he would
have left $14 for cigaretts, candy
and curios. He's a sure-enough pluto
crat over there.

RAPS LITERARY DIGEST.

To Red Cross Chapters in Kentuc-
ky:
An article published on page 81 |
of the Literary Digest, July 9th, 1918,
entitled why not to Knit having |
been condensed from an article by |
Sam1 S. Dale, in the Chronicle OF
Brooklyn, Mass, May 18th, has caus-
ed quite little confusion.
To our Red Cross workers, l want
to state:
Miss Ida Hafford is Supervisor OF
Woman's Work in Kentucky; she !"
her instructions direct from Head
quarters; those instructions should
ALWAYS be followed, irrespective OF
any article which may appear in pa
pers or magazines. Remember that
one of the main efforts of the Ger
man propagandist in this country Is
10 do what he can to interfere with
our war activities, therefore obey IN
structions.
/ with reference W tue "''iNN'
is divided under heads;
Statement No. / that 40 pounds OF
scoured wool per yard will be re-
o,rlred for each man in active Ser
wise. or $50 million pounds for an
army of million men," l under
stand the 20 pound statement is cor
rect, but at present our army abroad
is one million; it may be two mil
lion by next spring. 1t is not hve
million. The clause is apparently
intended to be misleading.
Statement No 2. The United
States produces annually ITO million
mounds of wool or about one
third of what an army OF hve
million men will require. Again
be misleading.
Number 3. If my information Is
correct. socks made by hand will last
three times as long when worn IN
the trenches as socks knitted by ma
chine. Our boys should have the
best, and apparently Mr.. Dale Is
either a manufacturer of shoddy WOOL
mr. represents one, and would like to
stop the Red Cross buying or using
wool in order that his company might
reap the profits therefrom.
Under Number 4. What he says
about vermin etc, is apparently con-
firmed by a statement which was
made to me some two months ago
70 by one of our Red Cross men VINO had
1 inst returned from Europe. He said
: the sweaters, scarfs and helments
! were breeding places for vermin ana
that nobody wore wristlets. Wlthh

quite probably we will follow the lead

The combination of dark blue and
white is not new, but II has gained
renewed interest this summer. Per-
haps the dark blue calico frocks had,
something to do with II. for among
the best of these were the ones with
n fine white pattern on dark blue
ground. And they were usually made
up with pipings and facings and other
! touches OF white. Now, for later
years, frocks of blue serge enlivened
and characteristic with touches OF
white satin are shown.
Beaded bags are having perhaps
longer life of popularity than would
have been the case If beads had not
advanced so, greatly In price as TO
make beaded bags real luxury. Az
all events, they have never become
commonplace enough to make them
unpopular with women who wish the
unusual. So they are still shown In
the shops in new designs and OF new
workmanship. Oval bags are especi-
ally good just now.
Every now and again there Is tank
of the practicability of making GER
tain cloths in only small number
of colors. The talk seldom material
ICES into any tangible plan. But
sometimes we wish II would: IL Is
extremely irritating, for instance, to
buy suit of a certain color and then
to be unable to match it in a blouse
I'VE wish, then, that cOlors were stand
ardized. instead of being in any OF a
dozen different shades, each of them.
Fringe, fringe, fringe, we see It
everywhere. 1t is still a good trim
ming. II needs clever manipulation,
of course. but when well placed 1t Is
surely one of the most effective means
of trimming our frocks, hats, para
soils and coats. And il is used on all
, these things--on others, too, for we
, carry fringed hand bags and even
, wear fringed underwear and negl'-
gees.
