However, whatever the individual
preference, checks are the fashion.
They will grow in Importance as the
season advances, so the designers
think. They may be first choice for
autumn coat suits. They have been
steadily worn for six weeks at Deau-

gathered in order to be out of the way
of any long range bombardment.
Coats With Inserted Waistcoats.
Mind you, these checked suits are
not allowed to parade themselves
without the triumphal addition of the
new cuirass waistcoat. 1t may be
worn as a blouse, with or without
sleeves, but the smart tailor Is adopt
ing the Paris idea of inserting the
vest into the sides of the coat and
making it a dominant part of the cos
tune. This, by the way, relieves one
of any nervous apprehension that the
checks will come too near the neck
and chin.
The skirts of these new suits vary
in length, but no one resorts to the
old trick of placing a hem of solid
material to hold in the fulness. This
fashion was followed by multitude
when checks and mosaic designs were
last in fashion. Today, the checked

THE HOUSEHOLD
WHAT IS YOUR sANCTUM?
Edited by ANNE RITTENHOUsE

Doubtless there is something trite
and hackneyed in the remark that eV-
ery woman who has any individuality
at all must claim some small corner
somewhere that is her own particular
sanctum-a place that somehow. thru
her constant presence there. takes on
il something of her personality. A
good family cook always leaves some
sort of imprint of her individual taste
and temperament, If you will, about
the neck in the kitchen where she
cooks, even If it is merely in the way
she arranges the spice boxes and
hangs up the tins. The desk of the
clever woman writer tells almost as
much about that woman's method of
work and taste as her journal could
tell The woman who attempts to get
along without such a sanctum Is real
" working at cross purposes with her
self. When the craze for neatnesS and
order or the desire for the attainment
of an abstract and impersonal stand
ard of beauty tends to keep our sane
tum from rejecting our individuality,
| then we are really cheating ourselves.
Some women begrudge the expendi-
ture that they are tempted to make in
! order tol give interesting tone to this
sanctum of theirs. Successful and
worthwhile women in business or pro-
| LESSONS deny themselves the pleasure
of having the environment in which
| they do their daily work made attract
| i've and pleasing to them, because they
somehow dread the expense entailed.

French coat suit in checked wool,
which is the fashionable design of
the hour. The deep waistcoat is of
white taffeta with pearl buttons.
We in America like the checks also,
but we are not especially partial to-
ward plaids. except for the most dar-
ing sport suits. It may be that we
have such vast opportunities of COM
moniZing a fabric or a color on this
immense continent, with its rivulets of
trade running thru every hamlet, that
those who are fastidious in their
choice of clothes do not care for pro-
nounced effects.
Checks Today Are Merely Mosaics.
There have been some glazing col
ors in plaid skirts put out by France
and taken up by America, but the sit
uation has settled down to a check that
resembles the black and white mosaic
floors that came into fashion thru the
exploitation by MARITIME of old Pom
peian designs.
There are few women who cannot
wear a checkerboard design when it
is simple. A woman may not like 1t
as much as a solid surface, but she
can vary the checks with so much
plainly colored material, that she
need have no fear of the design cut

WATERS DON'T CARE
Union Strikers in Topeka Are Content
With Present Situation.

The cooks and mattresses of To-

three weeks ago have adopted the
famous line from Eva Tanguay as
their battle cry. They say, according
to a report today, that they don't care
whether the restaurant owners come
to terms or not. In fact the strikers
intimate that they are doing very well
as it is, and the report today says that
nearly all of them have either OBJ

Restaurant owners affected by the
strike said this morning that they were
back on a practically normal basis
once more. They said that so far the
restaurants started by the union to
run in competition with them have
failed to make any appreciate inroads
on their trade.

RED CROSS BANS ALL
POLITICAL ACTIVITY
Members Told to Resign or
Refrain From Being Candi-
dates for Public Office.

The American Red Cross announced
in clean cut manner yesterday that its
| officers and workers will not be allowed
TO run for any public Office In the COM
ing general election or to be active In
! the interest OF any candidate.
This announcement. which was made
by Ethan Allen. manager OF the Allan
! tic division. was based on n ruling of
the War Council of the American Red
Cross, as described in a letter to Mr..
Allen from the acting general manager,
George r.. Scott Mr. Scutts letter saws:
THE first general election since the
entrance OF the United States into the
war IL to take place before long. The
Red Cross Is and must be. maintained a
strictly non-partisan. non-political or
Eanization. The reasons for this are SO
obvious to every one that they need no
elaboration.
Membership in the Red Cross in
cludes so many people and there are so
many men Of prominence engaged In it's
work either at home or abroad that II
Is not at all unlikely that many Of them
will be candidates for office. No matter
how sincerely any Red Cross official o.
worker may strive TO keep separate his
Red Cross work from any possible DO
litlcal ambitions which he may enter
tain. he may and probably will be quite
unable to prevent his friends from using
his connection with the Red Cross in
order to gain favor with the voters.
while such action cannot be con-
trolled. all candidates for office who are
at heart sincere well wshers OF the
Red Cross should realize that they must
do all in their power to prevent the pub
lie from gain an impression that po-
litical preferrrcHt cav n" should directly
or indirectly be affc ';e1 by Red Cross
work either at homo or abroad. The
text OF Red Cross service to mankind Is
stamped blythe approval OF the Ameri-
can people, regardless OF politics, race or
religion. No faint of sehshness or self
seeking can be allowed TO creep into the
work, endangering and even perhaps de-
stroying its great accomplishment.
Accordingly the Red Cross War
! Council instructs me to direct that you
request all officials OF the Red Cross,
either in chapters or division headouar-
tiers. who are In anv position OF execu-
tive authority and VIII at the same time
contemplate candidacy for public office,
! either to resign In their official capacity
| from the Red Cross work or TO refra In
| from such candidacy.
at the same time we ask that YOU
| give this statement the broadcast public
| ty and that you use every influence Of
| your office 10 prevent In so far as posi-
! BILE the use OF the Red Cross or OF its
services either directly or indirectly In
| the advancement or In connection with
the political campaign Of any person."
