Sport skirts are attracting more
attention this year, 1t is said, than
they have for some time. Corduroy,
which is more or less of new fab
ric for this purpose, has been used ex-
tensively by a number of manufac-
turers Of skirts with a great deal Of
success. Quite a few novelty silks
are also proving popular, both with
the retailers and the buying public.
Narrow effects are produced by the
use Of vertical plaits, which still allow
ample freedom of movement. Bright
collars seem to be the order Of the
day.

Speed Up to Win.

Wars are fought, won, and paid for
out of increased production, coupled
with savings. During the past year
the American people have set new
record in their subscription to govern
ment loans. AS a nation, however, we
are still more or less under the i'm
preston that money saving alone suf-
fees. That Is not enough. A man
who in normal times would be justi-
fed in buying three hats each year
will In wartimes probably have to get
along with two. The hat maker will
manufacture the three hats just the
same, but one Of them will be sent to
South America in exchange for rub
Der with which to make army truck
tires, or nitrate to make high explo-
sives. The whole basis of foreign
trade is rearranged to give other coun-
tries things which we can make that
are unobtainable from the countries
with which they formerly traded, so
that we may import In return raw ma.
terials vitality necessary for war. The
demands of the army and navy for
weapons, clothing, food, and every sort
of supplies, coupled with destruction
and shortage of wool, cotton, metals,
chemicals, and other raw materials,
necessitate q careful Encouragement
of personal and individual consump-
ton and a speeding up of production.
England has been most efficient in
working these transformations. And
today all her production, 'stribution,
and consumption are absolutely on the
war basis.

should be dead to everything that disgraces and
pollutes.

You can build your palaces you can amass

The longer I live, the more [ visit from home
to home, the more [ see Of the sorrows and cares,
the successes and failures Of this life, the more
I am impressed that the home problem is the
greatest problem Of our civilization. The homes
Of our country are so many streams pouring
themselves into the great current of moral and
social and political life. If the home life is
pure all is pure. The home is the center of
everything.
From the proper or improper settlement of
the home question comes more of joy or sorrow,
more of veal or woe, than from all other ques-
tions combined.
Build your palaces, amass your great fortunes,
pile up your luxuries all about you, provide for
the satisfaction Of every desire. But as you sit
amidst these luxuries and wait for the stagger-
ing step Of drunken son or contemplate the
downward steps Of wayward daughter, happi-
ness flies out Of your heart and your home.
There is nothing that can render happy the
parents Of Goddess and wayward children.

Washington.-The first real speak ershlp contest since 1891 is likely to follow the recent election. Ever since the famous Crisp-Mlls contest the speakership has gone to some man by practically unanimous consent With the Republicans returning .o power after eight years. there is likely to be quite spirited struggle among q number of men who will no doubt consider themselves eligible. If for mer Minority Leader Mann is in physi- cal condition he will likely be candi- date. Gillett of Massachusetts, who has been acting minority leader, F sure to be candidate Then there are J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania. Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, Julius Kahn of California, Nicholas Long worth and Simeon D. Fess of Ohio. and Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan, all of whom may be it. the race at least for n little while. As 1t Is possible that the Republicans will restore to the speaker the power to appoint committees the position may be much more valuable than it has been during the past eight years.
