0HHAT for spring coats the fabric
II par excellence is some sort of
q heavy satin or other silk, since it
is an act Of patriotism now to conserve
wool.
That to wear a silk coat does not
mean that one must go cold. for, follow
ing the lead of the French designers.
between-season satin coats are made
with an interlining of quilting. Albeit
this is Of cotton batting, it is warm.
That hopsacking is one of the newest
fabrics for coats when they are made
of wool.
That whether you will have sleeves
at all in your new spring coat or wrap
Is a mooted question. Some of the new
out any sleeves. There are velveteen
sleeveless coats made with smart belts
that are specially designed to wear
with silk or cotton gingham dresses.
That there is one consolation for soar
ing prices. for it is an undisputed fact
that the more you have to pay for an
article, even when this increased price
is no more than fair. the more con-
siderate and helpful salespeople are in
serving you. Since shoe prices have
been high it Is surprising how seldom
we are urged to take shoes that we do
not care for. And when we must pay SO
a yard for woolen goods that not long
ago we could have bought for scarcely
more than half that price no one urges
us to decide in a hurry. Shopping now
becomes serious matter, as well with
the salespeople as with the shopper.
That capes are due for a period of
popularity. Wraps for rainy days and
motoring even are made in cape fash
ion And although the vogue has not
become a craze, it is likely to be taken
favorably by smartly dressed women.
That rag bonnets are the latest thing
for motoring. They are made of silk
rags sewed and braided or rninted into
ali-enveloping hoods for the motorist.
OF course. very attractive color schemes
may be obtained in this way either by
using silk scraps of different colors or
by dyeing them after they are braided.

of evolution. And across it there cuts,
suddenly. a gigantic revolution-the
great war-a concerted and indignant
reputation of nation in it's arrogant
and excessive assumption of arbitrary
force. To resist that arrogance, to
eliminate that arbitrary force. to deny
and put down forever the dogma that
any state may be "a licensed brigand"
is the mission of the resisting powers

highly condensed and greatly acceIe-
rated agencies of evolution. A new
world is in the making, world whose

place in this organiza ton 1t must
abandon definitively that brand of
state, glorifies dynastic power and
stands as the chief advocate of arbi-
trary force. This, in outline. is the
road along which this writer points
the fundamental issues of the war and
indicates the logical attitude and modes
of conduct that must be maintained
toward the political problems arising
from these issues. A study of scholar
ly insight that goes down into the pro-
founder meanings and implications of
the great war in a most illuminating
manner.
THE SOUL OF LEE. By Randolph H.
Mckim. New York; Longmans.
Green & Co.
This appreciation of Robert E. Lee
was written by a soldier of the Confed-
eracy serving under Gen. Lee. For fifty
years the life and character of the
southern leader have been enshrined
within the heart of the writer. Now an
other war-the greatest of all wars
is calling the boys of the present gen.
Grafton to battle for freedom. 1t is to
the young American soldier in this last
great conflict that the writer offers the
story of Robert E. Lee-the man and
the soldier. In a short chapter DR.. Nc
kim sketches the ancestry and early
years of Lee. From this point he moves
swiftly into those years that have
given such full measure of recognition
to Gen. Lee as a brilliant military lead =
er and as q man of noble character as
well. From these studies of the
southern leader in the field one
catches many stirring pictures of the
spirit and behavior of the Confederate
great general. Indeed, this part of the
narrative gives a fair summary of war
fare under conditions SO different from
those of the present as to make it of
value for the purposes of contrast.
Such, however. is no part of the design
|preoccupation is with the commanding
personality of Robert E. Lee, to whose
qualities Of mind and heart he pays a
devoted and reverential tribute. That
the story is pure eulogy does not take
away from its fidelity to the life Of Lee.

The metal tissue with which we have
become so familiar has been replac ced

by some process similar to the one used

Reading is a dominant fashion. 1t is
used in small bands. in wide girdles
and it gathers up inspiration as it goes
from the American $ndians. the Russian
peasants, the books on ancient Egypt
and the fourteenth century frocks of
royalty. 1t does not seem to make
much difference where the designers
get the ideas as long as they lavishly
employ small wooden beads in bright

Chinese fashions. Black and gold tas-
sells and Chinese brocades are symbolic
of the same eXtravagant usage of the
fabrics from Peking. and there is a
constant procession of one-piece frocks
and coat suits made of shantung and
the various coarse Chinese silks.
The complaint made by the average
American woman against the use of
shantung for a suit or frock was the
ugliness of its tone. but the dyers have
overcome that objection by producing
this fabric in cornfiower blue. in the

discussion rests consists in an enuncia-

questions involving the principles Of
our foreign policy move out into the

But One Way

There is but one governmental

States can wage war for the next
two and half years. and that the
Administration which was placed
in power at the last national cleo
ton.
Any weakening of the influence
and prestige of the Administration
is a weakening of the political
power and influence of this nation
with other nations-a weakening
of our war power.

AS Roosevelt said in 1898, other
nations will look at our votes this
year from only one viewpoint.
They will draw no fine distinctions.
To Europe the election of a Re-
publican Congress this year would
mean a divided nation, a refusal
to endorse and stand by the prin-
ciples President Wilson has pro-
claimed as the principles of our
nation and the aims and purpose
of our country.

at war undoubtedly will deplete stocks
the market for some time to come.
The belief that sheep do not have q
place upon high-priced, highly produc-
tive land also is inapplicable at pres.
ent. 1t is true that the development
of the sheep industry on the rougher,
cheaper, or drier types of land has
prevented and in some cases destroyed
the business of sheep raising upon
farms of high productive capacity.
Conditions now are changed. The
sheep today provides a profitable
source of meat no less than an income
from the sale of wool.
The large use of forage and pastur-
age and the small use of grain favor
the keeping of flock on the farm.
Sheep are most profitable and most
healthy when kept upon pasture lands
or used for grazing off such forage
crops as cereal mixtures, rapercow-
peas, etc. Where large grass pastures
are available the forage crops may not
be required, but under common farm
conditions the forage crops will have
a part in the best flock hugbandry.

INCREASED FLocKs ON FARM
Ways Outlined of Fastening Develop

of Wool and Meat.

| prepared by the United States Depart
| ment of Agricultural
Though much is yet to be done to i'm
prove the carrying capacity of the
western range lands and to furnish ia
cilities for increasing the production
from those areas that should always
be used for grazing, and though the
possibilities of sheep raising on cut
over timber lands are very great, neith-
er of these advances can be made to
contribute so extensively and so quick
ly to market supplies as an increase
of fiocks on the farms of all parts of
the country. Only one-tenth of all
holdings now classed as farms main
tain sheep. The establishment of fiocks
on as many as possible of the other
farms that are suitable for sheep offers
the greatest opportunity for quick re-
suits.
This is not wholly a war matter.
When peace comes it will still be nee
essary for farmers to accord greater
Importance to live stock. The require
mentS of the country and the most Geo.
nomical use of farm crops and farm
labor call for a much more general
keeping of farm flocks of sheep, en-
tirely aside from the war situation.
The magnitude of such an undertake
ing argues against large results in a
short time, but if the true facts and
prospects can be adequately realized
by farmers, within a space of two
years it can be expected that the sup
ply of both wool and meat will be in
creased materially.
An obstacle to any increase in the
and size of farm f1ocks is found
in the prevalent idea that wool and
meat prices, after the war, will recede
quickly to low levels and cause a loss
to those who have invested in higher
priced stock for breeding purposes.
The statistics of the world supplies
and requirements, however, and the
trend of prices prior to the war indi-
cate that we already had entered a
new era with regard to the live stock |

THE SALOON THE POOR MANS
WORST ENEMY.

All of poor mans wealth Is in.
vested in his children. The poor man
sacrifices his whole life to raise his
children and hopes that when they
grow up they will be help to him in
his old age. If the rich mans chill
dren 90 to the bad the rich man still
has money TO support him, but when
the poor mans children 80 to the bad
all his wealth Is lost and he Is left in
his old age to life Of misery. The
saloon is an institution that robs the
poor man of his children and he ought
to be against it even more than the
rich man.
The rich men will not live where
there are saloons. They will have
their land deeds fixed up so that no
saloons can be established, or they
will have laws made to bar out sa-
looms. Some Christian people ease
their conSciences by having laws made
TO keep the saloons away from the
church doors but when you drive the
saloons away from the rich mans
home and the doors of the church, you
drive them to the homes of the poor
people-the least able of all to with
stand their ravages. The poor man
cannot drive the saloon away from his
door with money, like the rich man,
for he has not the money; but he has
vote. and with that vote he can, and
should, drive the saloon away from his
door.-JOhn T.. Cunneen.
