members OF the labor unions, did he in

SALISBURY, ORGANIZED
LABOR AND SUFFRAGE!
To the Editor of The Evening Journal

To the Editor Of The Evening Journal.
Sir: In reply to Mr.. O'Kanes recent
letter. lnd that he displays lack Of
knowledge in some Of his statements
and conclusions. He states that ] was
working TO find ways and means TO de-
feat Senator Salisbury. His political
career supplies all the necessary rea-
sons for his defeat.
Mr.. O'Kane states that Senator Saus-
bury believes that the suffrage ques-
tion SHOULD be a State right; l. e.,
that the people Of Delaware should
have an opportunity to vote yes or no
on the said proposition" Had Mr..
O'Kane read the Constitution OF the
State OF Delaware, he would have found
that no provision has been made In 1t
TO allow the people by popular vote to
amend their constitution on this ques-
tion.
Senator Salisbury was appealed to, In
order that the power TO amend the Con-
stitutlon be placed in the hands OF the
people where It rightfully belongs, That
is, through the initiative and referen-
dunn. The Senator has never shown
where he has been in favor OF this prin-
ciple.
Mr.. O'Kane could better employ his
time as a labor union man by working
for the abolition OF Child Labor. The
very expression is a disgrace to our So
called twentieth century civilization.
The Labor Unions are always inter-
ested in the abolition OF Child Labor.
He states that Senator Salisbury is a

during the time Of his supposed friend
ship for labor, Child Labor has increas-
ed TO an alarming extent? The Pub
llcity Deparement Of National Child La
Dor Committee has issued a bulletin in
which Wilmington Is cited as an ex-
ample Of the enormous increase OF
child labor during the war.
IN Wilmington, Del, sixty-one per
cent. more children have taken out
working permits than last year"
The committee declares that the coun-
try does not need the children In the
mines. factories and shops. They are
more valuable 10 the nation In the
school. We can win a war without
sacrificing the present and future IN
terests Of our children"
What labor needs is justice and equal
ity Of opportunity
Mr.. O'Kane states that the vast ma
lority Of the American people have no
use for the organization TO which / be-
long, namely, The National Woman's
Party. He is very inconsistent. In
January OF this year, the Central Labor
Union sent two delegates TO Washing
ton with resolutions asking both Della
ware Senator's to vote for the Woman
Suffrage Amendment. a committee OF
the National Woman's Party accom-
panied the delegation. | was member
OF that committee. We were Informed
that the labor unions wished TO confer
only with the suffrage organization,
known as the picket" Party-that is
the National Woman's Party-the idea
being that labor unions believe in and
practice picketing, as a method OF ac-
complishing their ends.
II is evident that the labor unions
did. at that time, stand with our organ
ization. Organized labor has recognized

Gen. Littell Declares System Of
Building Army Cantonments
Saved Government Money.

The much attacked cost plus profit
system, under which contracts for the
National Army cantonments were built,
was defended yesterday afternoon by
Brig. Gen. Littell and his aids, who
directed the work. in testifying in the
final branch of the Senate military
committees war inquiry.
Gen. Littell declares the plan had saved
the government money, had not given
contractors excessive fees and had
speeded completion Of the camps. Re-
ports of exorbitant wages paid workers
were said to be exaggerated.
In detailing the work accomplished
in preparing quarters for the war
Army, Gen. Littell said the sixteen can
tonments had cost $143,000,000, and the
average fee Of contractors at each
camp was from to 3 per cent. None
was over per cent. and the maximum
was s25o,000. Competitive bids were
impossible. the general said. because Of
the speed required.

OF Interest TO Women
THE NEW MILLINERY FOR SPRING.

breeches of. green. yellow and black.
reaching to the ankles. does not create
as much craning of the neck as a
bunch of warship boys. The former
costume is quite a revelation TO the
American public, which believes that
all Scottish fighters are bare kneed,
but even this does not prevent US from
staring longer after the blue coiored,
red tufted turbans of the sailors who
parade our streets. smoking endless
cigarettes and talking in their quick
jargon.
The Rakish Turban.
The French and American milliners
have not repeated this sailor turban
in its rakish red and blue. They hav.
built it of dignifed fabrics. Black
satin, coiored taffeta, aigrettes left
over from another epoch, are combined
to make up a hat that has something
of stateliness in it and is suitable for
the woman over fifty even more than
for her daughter.
Young girls have these sailor tur-
bars with the tufted top, but they usual
Iy choose them in subdued colors and
wear them straight across the brow in
that line that prevails in fashions.
So insistently is this line carried out
that the woman who tilts her hat back
to show a bit of her forehead looks
desire to push her hat over toward
her eyes and redeem her from the
charge of being careless. The sailor
may put his turban on in a rakish
fashion, but the American woman must
not.
There was a time, not many months
ago. when the milliners and a few
smart women tried out the Rembrandt
turban worn at the rakish angle adopt
ed by the painter and put on his canvas,
but somehow ii didn't suit the Ameri-
can race and it was given up after a
swift and unsuccessful trial. 1t was
left to the bohemians, who care not
how they look.
The turban in the sketch shows a
dignified edition of the foreign sailors
rakish headgear. 1t has the peak in
the crown, but not the tuft. the rolling
brim and the scarf above this Aig-
rettes stick out from it here and there,
as though they were frail guns in a
satin army tank. The hat is worn as
far down over the forehead as the eyes
will permit and touches the tips of the
ears.
1t is repeated in straw and is made
up in many combinations of eolored
straw and fabric crowns. Black and
yellow, blue and gold and scarlet and
blue are some of the accepted ones.

WHITE HOUSE TALKS
START TOMORROW
President to Begin Series With
Democratic and Repub-
Iican Leaders.

President Wilson will begin a series
gress leaders-both republican and
democrats-on all phases of war legis-
lation.
For the first time members of both
parties are to be taken into the White
House councils in the consideration OF
war legislation, and in this way the
administration expects to smooth out
some of the difficulties which confront
the war program.
The pending bill to empower the
President to consolidate executive de-
partment functions and redistribute
work among them, now openly opposed
by the republicans, will be one of the
first subjects to come up.
Some OF the democrats do not favor
it, and the republicans openly de-
nounce 1t as comforting too great au-
thor!ty. The bill. however, is the ad-
Senate military committee bills to ere
ate a super-war cabinet and a direc-
tor OF munitions. The President is rep
resented as being unalterably opposed
10 the committee plan and many men,
bers of Congress are just as opposed
TO the Presidents plan.
The purpose OF the conference is to
arrive at some compromise on this sub
ject first. but there is every indication
that they will be carried on throughout
the war.
The Presidents move is regarded as
the first step toward taking members
of both parties more into his confidence
and toward calling on the republicans
actively into the war councils.

Celery is one Of our accepted winter
vegetables, and because of it's crisp
freshness most OF US consider 1t one
of the most tempting. Even without
hothouses we can have winter celery
quite as easily as We can have turnips
or cabbages, and celery has the tre-
mendous advantage over turnips and
cabbage, carrots and onions Of posses
sing all the delicacy of flavor that we
usually associate with succulent sum-
mer vegetables.
Celery, in spite Of its crisp freshness,
is never better than when it is cooked,
plan to serve 1t in some cooked form
occasionally. The outer stalks are
quite as tender as need be when they
are cooked, SO that the heart section
can always be saved for salad or ap-
petizer.
Celery croquettes are delicious ac-
compartments to the meat course. To
make them cut the celery in two-inch
lengths and boil it until it is tender
Drain it, dip it in thick white sauce.

fat.
Braised celery is prepared in this
way. Cut it in two-inch lengths, and
simmer it gently in stock until it is
tender. Add a little strained tomato
juice to the gravy and pour it over the
celery.
Celery au gratin is prepared by boil
ing celery, draining it, putting 1t in a
deep buttered dish, covering it with
cream sauce, grated cheese and crumbs
and browning II in the oven.
To fry celery cut cold, boil celery
