COMMERCE CHAMBER
OF u. S. ON WAR BILL
Referendum Taken Brings Many
New Suggestions.

The intense interest Of business men
throughout the country in the coming
revenue bill which rs being prepared
by the Ways and Means Committee
of the House is indicated in the refer
endum vote taken by the Chamber
of Commerce Of the United States.
All OF the main principles underly-
ing the legislation and the major
recommendations submitted by the
Secretary OF the Treasury were COW
cred by the referendum. The largest
vote ever cast by the chambers men,
.bership was recorded. Considerable
variance in the votes Of the SIS or
ganizations which expressed them
selves is evident.
The proposals adopted recommend
increased income and excess profits
taxes. They favor the creation Of a
war profits tax and payment by tax
payers or war profits or excess profits
taxes. whichever will give the greater
revenue to the government. Sugges-
tons were also made for new sources
Of taxation OF individuals and Of busi-
ness firms and corporations.

Like the well-loved perennials of
the garden, tulips, hyacinths and
jonquils, which come back each
year to find joyous welcome, our
old friend foulard will again be
favorite when fur coats are laid
aside. Many of the dresses and
suits designed for early spring wear
show trimmings and Innings of foul
ard. A simple sports coat of blue
gabardine is given quite dashing
touch by its vest of dotted foulard--
white dots On a blue ground. This
vest is, IN reality, the front of one
OF the new long-skirted peplum
b1ouses, which are designed for
wear with getaway coats of various
lines. When the coat is removed
very attractive foulard blouse is
displayed. The edges of the neck,
sleeves and the peplum are bound
with white foulard. A narrow belt
of patent leather holds the fullness
at the waistline. The coat belt is
made of its own material, held by
silver buckle. A stole-like collar
completes the neckline of the coat
and extends in tabs below the belt.
The hat, which is designed for wear
with this suit and blouse, is made of
the same material as the blouse
that is dotted foulard--and is faced
with plain blue taffeta. 1t is bound
with dark blue gros grain ribbon
and a band of the same ribbon ties

Worried Mother,
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee:
l am a mother of seven children,
but I have a daughter Of II. my
youngest child, who causes me much
trouble. All of our family for sew
eral generations have been plain,
Woodworking people. My six Oldest
children are very plain and hard
working, but my youngest daughter
seems to belong to different family.
She is very pretty and not at all like
the rest Of my daughters. My other
daughters are quiet and very modest
girls, the type Of girl admire. They
are all educated and have made
good. This daughter is entirely
different; all she cares about Is hav-
ing a good time. She hates school
and says all she goes for Is for the
time she spends in drawing and
painting. I have threatened her
and punished her. but 1t seems to do
no good. The things which have
cured my other children have no
effect on her. We are family of
moderate means and she has every
possible opportunity.
She is full Of mischief and wants
to 60 out all of the time. I do not
allow her to 60 more than once a
week. but when she Is home all Of
the time she does not complain, but
acts just as crazy as possible and
just as noisy.
I have to drive her to her lessons
and make her study, but she Is care
less in her work and doesn't make
much progress. She is q senior in
high school, but she will have to go
another year, as she lacks five points.
None Of the other children have ever
failed.
have punished her in every way,
but it doesn't bother her a bit till
few weeks ago. I punished her in
the presence of several Of her boy
and girl friends. This did not work
because now she declares she will
never forgive me. l have been very
strict with her all her life, but in
stead Of punishment she seems to
enjoy it.
She is very popular with everyone,
for she is one Of those girls who has
word for everybody. She is not
exactly mean, but she does things
which make me so absolutely out of
patience that lose my temper and
make threats and do everything I
can think Of. The only work she
will do is Red Cross work. If I in
sist on her working she gets some
body else to do it and tells me about
it afterward, but she is so sweet
about it 1 haven't the heart to say
anything. But I'm afraid If this
keeps on she will never amount to
anything. because she hates to do
everything but draw, and that will
never do her any good. The rest of

WINTER FASHIONS

The winter fashions are very sat-
isfactory. Although there are no
startling changes to be found, the
slim silhouette becomes so much
simmer that it makes change in
itself. The French dresses which
came over were surprisingly alike in
line and yet quite different in the
method OF their trimming.
Striking Points of French Models.
When | read of the Paris clothes,
no matter how carefully l do it, l
am yet surprised at the "newness'
of the actual models when / really
see them.
We have known that the lines were
straight. They actually measure a
yard and a half, or less, round the
hem; they are absolutely straight
and skimpy ip effect. with their
charm depending upon materials,
fur trimming, fine stichery, embroid-
cry, or beading.-Good Housekee-

WINTER MILLINERY.

Milady's hats are a problem, in
deed, and Helen Koues in an article
in Good Housekeeping for Decem-
Der seeks to throw some light on the
subject. She says:
The simplicity Of this winters
clothes finds a relief in the colorful
hats. Bright blues, flaming red, as
we'll as beige and henna red, are all
striking notes this season, with the
good blues, browns, and the various
khaki shades which have come with
the year. These shades, or the
beaver shades, as some shades of
fawn-like cloth are called, are quite
smart. The tone is lighter than
beaver and darker than the ordinary
tan we have known.

Although women have had the To-
cal parliamentary vote in Australia
for a number of years, ranging from
q years in South Australia to 10
years in Victoria, and the national
suffrage for 16 years, they have not
accomplished as much in regard to
certain measures of reform as wo-
men in other lands have accomplish
ed without the vote. This peculiar
condition OF affairs is accounted for
largely by the different methods of
working adopted by the Australian
women, but more especially by the
