SHIPPING BOARD PLANS.
TO REDUCE ITS TONNAGE
Sale Of Small Steel Vessels and
Number of Wooden Craft Is
Under Way.

With it's permanent building pro-
gram in full swing and the emer-
gency needs passed. the shipping
board is preparing to dispose of some
of the small steel ships and a number
of wooden craft. Proposals for the
purchase of tonnage have been re-
ceived from many prospective buyers
at home and abroad.
Many Contracts Cancelled.
Pending disposition of some wooden
ships, contracts for $50 such vessels
Eave been Cancelled since the signing
OF the armistice. Work on some OF
these had not yet been started, but
others were ~ per cent complete.
while a few were one-third finished

1t is likely that L discussion of the

be discussed in the Senate at the same

SENATE MAY SEND
EIGHT TORRANCE
Resolution in Preparation for
Bipartisan Committee to
Watch "Peace."
SEEKS FIRST-HAND NEWS

Ignored by the President in his Sc
senate Is preparing to keep itself in
formed of the progress of the peace
conference. Several resolutions look
ing to this end will be introduced in
the Senate.
Senator Cummins of Iowa is prepar-
ing resolution providing for a BIZ
partisan special committee of the
Senate to be sent to Paris to be on
the ground when the peace confer
ence is held. Four democrats and four
republicans is the proposed makeup
of the committee.
Other senators also contemplate res
oiutions providing for committees to
obtain information which the Senate
desires.
Senate Wants to Be "Posted."
The feeling in the Senate is strong
that all proc edings of the peace con-
ference should be made known to the
Senate and that the Senate should be
in position to learn at first hand all
that concerns the draft of the peace
treaty.
Chairman Hitchcock of the Senate
foreign relations committee will ask
that any resolution introduced for
keeping the Senate informed in re-
gard to the peace conference shall be
referred to the foreign relations COM
mittee.
IL has been the opinion of Senator
Hitchcock that if provision could be
made to inform the foreign relations
committee Of all the discussions and
acts of the peace conference stimuli
taneously with those discussions and
acts, it would be better than sending
ii committee of the Senate abroad.
But no suggestion, so far as is
EnGwn, has been made by the Presi-
dent that the Senate shall be particu-
larly informed in regard to the peace
conference. Therefore. the question
of having the Senate inform itself will
be seriously considered.

A Little Chat
About "Khaki"

Khaki is a color and not
a fabric or weave, SO when
you ask for navy blue
khaki" you are making a
little Slip-that'S all. Khaki
is an HinduStani word mean
ing, literally, earth colored,
and its use is said to have
originated about 1848 with
the GUIDES, a British COM
mand of frontier troops in
South Africa, who realized
that their white uniforms
made them/conspicuous tar
gets for enemy fire, so they
seized upon the idea of
daubing their clothes with
mud, and found that the
color thus produced made
them most inconspicuous, and
afforded a protection so val
liable that the earth-colored
cloth was gradually adopted
for use by the British army.
During the South African
war, fS99-f9o2, drill of a
sandy brown was worn by
all troops sent out by Great
Britain and her colonies.
During the Spanish
American war, 1898, khaki
colored uniforms were
adopted by the United States
for field and colonial Serv-
ice, and the color has grad
ually been almost univer-
sally used for. service, so
when we speak of "our men
in khaki" it is not the cloth,
but the color to which we
refer-for 'khaki" may be
of woolen or cotton. We
are showing a particularly

Other chiffon frocks were
in several shades, yellow,
