FOR HUGE NAVAL
BLDG. PROGRAM
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 30.-Secretary
Daniels, appearing before the House
naval committee in behalf of the new
$780, 100000 -year-buolding pro-
gram, said if the League of Nations
was organized the United States
should be prepared to contribute as
large unit as any other nation
to the international police force; that
without international agreement for
reduction of armament the naval ex-
pansion should continue indefinitely,
formally submitting that the new
building program urged should be un-
der the order of the President for sus-
pension whenever an international
agreement was made for armament
reduction. He declared the United
States as having declared itself to
support the small nations, and that
the United States should build navy
second to none if international tri-

Wearing Colors
Keeps Up Morale

New York.-It is the hour to talk
colors and fabrics. We have been
given n comprehensive outline of what
to expect In the new fashions, and we
have made up our minds to accept or
reject, as we choose, observes prom
Inent fashion authority.
The details of autumn clothes have
been digested by us. The long skirt,
the continuance of sashes, the growing
Importance of collars and cuffs, and
the relinquishing of the attempt to
make stiff high collars fashionable
have filled us with the assurance that
we know enough to make start.
Women are divided in opinion as to
the wisdom of introducing long skirt
Mt this hour. They also question the
extreme decolletage that has been
adopted for the daytime hours. They
protest rather violently against the ef-
fort to continue short sleeves in the
fashion.
They found their objections on sound
basic principles. They insist that war
activities are hampered by long skir -;
that deep decolletage in the u.
does not look businesslike, and -.
short sleeves are an absurd fashion
at time when one must pay three
dollars for two-button glove, and
far more for one that wrinkles to the
elbow.
Why are these things done? is the
question of the majority of women.
The soothing answer is that they are
done for the same reason that one
substitutes an entree for heavy meat
once in while in the menu. Woman's
taste in dress, as their taste in food,
becomes dulled and satiated by n con-
stant repetition of severe and whole
some diet. A bit of foolishness now
and then, such as an entree or short
elbow sleeve, soufIle or deep decol-
ietage in luncheon gown gives FLIP
to the jaded appetite.
Argument Rife Anent CoIors.
Discussion does not stop at the de-
tails of the silhouette or at the incom-
ing and outgoing of certain selected
fashions; 1t shuttles to and fro
JHTOuSH Tic WeD VI WOiueu tlc
selection of colors for the autumn and
winter.
Philosophy, psychology, history Of
wars and peoples at war enter into
these arguments. All discussion OF
this epoch is based on higher and more
complex reasons than personal likes
and dislikes, and the rejection or ac-
ceptance of certain fashions in wom-
ans apparel gets into this conversa-
tional environment as quickly as any
other patriotic movement.
1t is the psychological quality in hu-
man nature that is back of all this
argument about accepting colors.
Masses of women think that black, and
blue, and brown should be worn until
peace is declared, with ourselves
among the victOrs. Others insist that
this is the very time to brighten the
moral atmosphere by adorning our
