Some time before the days of mid
summer have really arrived, merchants
assemble stocks of silk street suits,
rendy to be presented when the first
hot day comes. These midsummer
suits are almost untrimmed. but are
carefully designed and distinguished
by smart style-touches and nieeties of
finish that place them close to the
formal suit class. Clever women
sometimes take their graceful but
plain suits and tone them up with
little effective hand work. but even
without that. they are equal to almost
any demand.
There, are many pretty suits of heavy
taffetas and of gros-de-londre in the
displays. One of the new taffeta suits
is shown in the picture and it could
hardly be simpler or palmer, but it is
remarkably good style. The coat opens
to the bust line, differing from earlier
styles which were open to the waist
line. 1t has short, fiaring skirt por-
ton with three plaits at each side and
little dip in front, all very crisp
and spirited. Flat, white pearl but
tons fasten ii. They invite the addi-
ton of white pique vestee and col
lar and white cuffs. Altogether they

DOES MANY THINGS
TO HELP WIN WAR
ACTIVITIES OF AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT IN THIS LINE
ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
FINDS ENOUGH FARM LABOR
Its Inspectors See That Soldiers Get
Wholesome Meat - Congressman
Raqsdale's View of His Duties
eluntly Stated by Him.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington-H may not occur TO
The average person that the agricul-
tural department of the United States
is doing a great deal to help win the
war, but the fact is that this depart
nent is very important and its war
work Is especially useful. Among the
many things which the department has
done none Is more helpful than mo-
bilizing farm labor. Agents of the de-
partment went into the cities. towns
and villages and procured men to work
on the farms, and the belief is now
expressed that enough farm labor VIII
be obtained TO harvest the crops.
1t is not generally known that 81
inspectors of the bureau of animal In
dustry, experts on meats of all kinds.
are now with the United States army
and see to 1t that the soldiers get
wholesome meat. There are 80 In
spectors engaged in similar work with
the navy. Another activity of the ag-
ricultural department is the demon
stration for preserving eggs so that
they can be shipped abroad and used
for the army. Great success has at
tended the pig clubs" in which 100,-
600 boys and girls are now engaged in
increasing the output of pork. The
department has employed 5,651 extern
sion workers who are aiding the food
production and conservation cam
naign. 1t has also aided in searching
out timber needed in war supplies
particularly that used In making air.
planes. In fact. there are many enter
prises in which the agricultural de-
partment is engaged, all tending TO
help win the war.

Among these new silk suits there is
one having a coat with three flounces
set in across the back that is very
pretty. 1t has narrow pockets set on
ut each side with rows of small but
tons, and a belt of the silk. These
belts, in many silk suits, extend around
the waist in the most straightforward
and matter-offact manner, which is
another point of departure from
style in cloth suits. The most popular
colors are navy, taupe and black. but
light colors, as sand gray or white
have daintiness that compensates

Never before did 1t take the presi-

the decision finally rested with Sec
rotary McAdoo. The president AT one
time, according to the report of the
senators and representatives who Wis
tied him. was inclined TO listen to
their arguments and arrange a com
promise, but In the end the compro-
mise was discarded and congress was
told to stay in session and pass the
revenue bill. They did not like it,

Former Senator Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, who was in Washington for a few
days recently, is a conservative on the
subject of prohibition and If he had
been in the senate he would not have
voted for the prohibition amendment
which is going to be one of the live is
sues In the campaign this fall. Mr..
Depew says that Notwithstanding the
fact that only very small percent
age of the people of New York would
vote for ratifying the prohibition
amendment. it is likely that the legis-
lature to be elected this fall will
adopt 1t. He points out that those
who are advocating the amendment
are so very determined that they win
secure pledges from candidates for
the legislature and that these candi-
dates are timid enough to promise to
vote for the amendment in order to
assure their elections. 1t is a sort Of
self preservation measure and menu
bers of the legislature know that IL
they do not pledge themselves to sup
port the amendment they will be
marked men when the next election
comes around. Just as senators and
representatives in congress give at
tentioR to the wishes of their home
folk, so do the members of state leg
islatures, and that is why the prohi-
bitionists are confident that they are
going to win enough states to ratify
the amendment after the election this

When former Senator Joseph w.
Bailey retired from the United States
senate he was about the only strenu-
Gus defender of the constitution left
on the Democratic side. It was SEN
ator Bailey's complaiz., that even such
an able constitutional lawyer as the
late Senator Bacon had almost de-
serted him and that he was the lone
figure left who was devoted to the
constitution according TO Democratic
ideals.
If Mr.. Bailey keeps track of senate
proceedings at the present time he
will observe that there are others fol-
lowing in his footsteps. Senator Reed
of Missouri and Senator Hardwiek of
Georgia are never missing when the
necessity arrives for taking care Of
the immortal document which has had
to undergo severe strain under recent
administrations. OF course there is
always a strain upon the constitution
during war times, and there are rea-
sons to believe that If 'strict con-
struetion" should be applied there are
quite a number of instances when the
constitution has been disjointed in
order to meet war eXigeHcses.

Patriotism of high degree is
shown by millions of people who
cannot go to war, according to re-
ports that have been received in Wash
ington from various parts of the eoun-
try. AS an instance of this patriotism
the overSubscription to the Rcd Cross
fund is cited, but it is shown in other
ways that do not get before the public.
The care that is given the soldiers
and sailors is greater than was ever
before heard of in any war. Possibly
it was because of the reports that the
camps and clothing were inadequate
last winter that an extra effort was
made on the part of the people to sup
ply all possible deficiencies and make
up to the men who are going to fight
the battles of the country any short
comings that might have inadyertent-
~ occurred in the rapid mobilization
of an army.
Foremost in this work nave been
the women Of the country, who have
been doing everything in their power
to furnish clothing and eonyeniences
for the troops. The fact that the Red
Cross fund was oversubscribed is be-
lieyed to be due largely to the work of
the women in their Red Cross uni
forms who have been soliciting funds.
The authorities also give great cred
it to the Y NJ. G. A. organization
which has established rooms ut every
camp and by which extraordinary eff
forts have been made to furnish the
soldiers with books and entertain
ments. The manner in which people
have volunteered their services in
these entertainments is one of the
features that has gratitied the authori-
ties.
Take it all in all, there is abundant
evidence that the people of this coun-
try, with very few exceptions, are
heart and soul interested in the war
and are doing everything they can to
help the soldiers and sailors who must
fight the war, and make them comfort
able, not only while at home, but so
far as is their power while they are
abroad.
