PRESIDENT MAKES
ANNUAL ADDRESS
Tells Congress His Reasons For At.
tending Peace Conference -DweIls
Upon Railroad Problem

Washington, Dec. I'm an address
to congress today, President Wilson
formally announced his intention to
| go to the peace conference, saying the
allied governments have accepted the
| principle enunciated by him for peace
and it is his paramount duty to be
| present.
The president said he would be in
close touch by cable and wireless and
that congress will know what he does
| on the other side
Referring to his announcement that
the French and British governments
had removed all cable restrictions up
on the transmission of news Of the
conference to America, the president
said he had taken over the American
cable systems on expert advice to
make a united system available. He
said he hoped for theecooperation of
the public and congress, saying
through the cables and wireless coun-
sci and advice would be possible.
Much of the address was devoted to
the railway problem, for which. the
president said he now had no solution
to offer. He recommended careful
study by congress, saying it would be
a service to the country and to the
railroads to permit a return to old
conditions without notifications.
The president declared he was
ready t. release the roads from gov
eminent control whenever a ~satisfac-
tory plan could be worked out, He
said he hoped to see /. formal declara.
ton of peace by treaty by the time
spring has come"
The Naval Problem
The three year naval building pro-
gram was endorsed because the presi-
dent said it would be unwise to try to
adjust the American policy to an un-
determined world policy.
He spoke particularly of the work
of women and again appealed for wo-
man suffrage by federal amendment,
Declaring he had no private thought
or purpose in going to France but that
he regarded it as his highest duty, the
president added:
at is now my duty to play my full
part in making good what they Gam
erican soldiers) offered their life's
blood to obtain"
No definite program of construction
can be outlined now the president
said. He expressed the hope that con-
| gress would not object to comforting
on the war trade board or some other
agency the right of fixing export pior-
tiles to assure shipment OF food to
starving peoples abroad.
AS to taxation, the president en-
dorsed the plan for levying $4,000
100000 in 1919 and notifying the pub
lie in advance that the 1920 levy would
be $4,000, 100000.

BILLIONS
.AMOUNTOF new BILL
Congress Must Appropriate That
Amount For Needs Of Next
Fiscal Year

Washington, Dec. War expenses
persisting in peace times. but falling
off rapidly. will make the govern
ment's outlay in the fiscalsyear 1920,
beginning next July 1, $7,443. 415,S3S
of which s5,121, OO0, 900 will go to the
war and navy departments, 1898. 000.-
600 to pay interest on war debt, and
1878, 000, 900 for continuing the build
ing of a merchant marine, according
to departments estimates presented
today to congress
These expenses compare with the
$24, 599, 600 900 appropriations for
the current year, ending next June 80,
with the SIS. OO0, 0O0, 900, which prob
ably will be actually spent this year,
and with the ordinary annual ex-
penses of about a billion dollars be-
fore the war.
May Be Cut Down
The advance estimates are rough.
and many departments, expect to cut
them down during the next few
months as committees of congress
work over the figures in drafting ap-
preparation bills. Heretofore annual
estimates have exceeded the appro-
priation authorizations, and the &C
tual expenditures have usually been
considerably less than the appropria-
tons. Secretary McAdoo transmitted
without comment the estimates Of
various departments as submitted to
him and compiled at the treasury.
Two Rations for Army
The wal department wants $685.
900, 900 next year for bringing the
army home from Europe, maintaining
part of the force, continuing fortifca-
tons, and other purposes, and the
navy department estimates its needs
at $2,656, 900. 900, even more than this
year.
Shipping Appropriations
The shipping board asks $500.000,-
600 for building ships already author
lied by congress, $50, 00O, 600 for oper-
alton of vessels, SIT, 45i,000 for re-
cruiting and training officers and
crews and $1,453, 900 for incidental adj
ministration expenses
The item of 1898, 900. 1000 as interest
on public debt includes provision for
meeting the semi-annual payments on
liberty bonds already outstanding and
those to be issued In the near future,
and this sum is not subject to any
great alteration,

THE WIND-FLOWER'S STORY

One day n little Wind Flower growing
in "A garden heard the rosebush say to
the pansies "What a quiet little creature
the Wind Flower is; she seems TO be a
modest little thing. but she never stays
here long enough to get acquainted, so |
do not know whether she hides her ig-
norance by keeping quiet or is deep
thinker
Il think she is deep, Miss Rose, y
said the IIollyhock, nearby. "fou
know I can see farther than anyone
here, and it is my opinion that the Wind
Flower is deep and think, too, she has a
story
"A storyl' cried the pansies, turn
ing up their pretty faces to the Holly
hook. "Oh, how interesting.
What do you mean by storyl ask
ed the Roscbush
"Oh, | mean she is deep and knows
things of which we little dream There
is something between her and the wind,
but | cannot learn her secret.
Rosebush held up her head, the pan
sizes turned their little faces around
and looked at the modest little WIND
Flower To see if they could read her
secret
II have no secret the world cannot
know said the Wind Flower. "All
my family love the wind; this all the
world would know if they knew our
history.
Roscbush and the pansics and Holly
hook began to question the little WIND
Flower and this is what she told them:
oh long, long time ago some
beautiful Goddess gricvcd very much
over the death Of someone she dearly
loved and she created in memory OF
this friend a beautiful flower which
She named Anemonc. That Is our real
name"
oh how grand it sounds, said the
Roscbush; such big name, too, for
such a little flower.
Yes. it Is hig. replied the little
Wind Flower, 'hut YOU sec VIC had
nothing at all to do with our name;
the wind fell in love with Us and open
our blossoms that is the way we hap

EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Henrietta Grauel.
April, FIRST.

April Fools daynnay be relic OF some
old heather festival or it may have been
invented by some court fool who had both
lords and ladies to please. In any event it
is welcome day, and, like the month that
it opens, is full of sunshine and laughter
and windy gusts of temper.
Pussy willows are Aprll's flowers and
give one courage to search further for the
first volets and spring beauties. You
want to pluck all you find and bring
them home. This is a pity, unless you
have a use for the shy beauties; but a
spring breakfast is motive enough to let
YOU bring in arms full OF woodsy things.
Twig baskets, made of smallest twigs
of pussy willow and tied with gray-ereen
raffia. make suitable decorations for the
table and NAV be used TO hold flowers or
sweets.
The menu need not be troublesome, for
our entertainments now are not IN good
taste unless extremely simple and in
formal.
With the wild flowers for decorations,
use green, the color Of spring, in all shades
and pretty combinations, and have plenty
of fresh fruit, spring salad, sweets and
savories and a cold dessert and u hot
beverage.
Your guests will help to provide the
foolish fun, either by dressing up ne in
appropriately rs possible or by telling
improbable tales of heroisin, or You may
have Folly present TO tell fortunes. 1t
takes tact to tell the future and describe
the past without giving offence or be-
coming a bore A few rules should be
learned and followed. First. the tea must
be poured with the grounds and when IT
is drunk turn the cup towards you II your
wish concerns something near at home.
II far away, the cup must be turned in the
direction Of the subject OF the wish. The
one whose fortune Is TO be told must not
look in the cup while turning it, as this
spoils the fortune Tip the cup III the
saucer so the tears drops OF teal can
drain out, then the fortune teller reads
the fortune.
Thin bread and honey, chicken salad,
Ice cream, sponge cake and coffee or tea.
Chicken or funny sandwiches, pickles,
Tomato aspic on chilled lettuce, dressed.
Ices, cakes, tea, cocoa.
Boston brown bread and butter,
Spring salad, hot waters, cottage cheese.
Lemon Jelly, Russian tea
Chicken and nut salad,
Hot graham rolls and Jelly,
Sweets and foany hot chocolate
Chiffonade salad is n good one for
luncheon: Cut celery into one-inch lengths
and then split into straws until you have a
cupful. Put into iced water and 1t will curl.
Mix with chickory leaves and sections OF
tomatoes. Marinate with French dressing
arrange in individual serving dishes
and garni sh with young onions and
radishcs and minced parsley. Passmore

ARTISTS S-ALL.


A few months ago, over in France,
they tenderly laid away for final
rest the stalwart body of marvel
ous man. Long ages will reverence
and love him as Rodin.
Art was this mans life-and all
And art To Rodin was Synonymous
to beauty. He could make no
difference. Everything in life and
nature was art to him And all art
was beautiful
Perhaps, sometime, this war
mad world will catch up with that
man of love and peace who saw life
as creative affair, not one Of des-
triIctlon.
For arc we not artists all?
Does not each Of us, daily, model
I and mould the figure Of what we
are? And does not the world see in
what we do the ideal toward which
we move2
Look into your mirror. Study
the face Of your friend. Note the
faces of those who pace the street.
Each IS an artist though maybe
not knowing. Yet the lines and
planes Of the face tell what no
( sculptor could see or scarce depict
in stone.
For there vou viii see the sure
! cast emotions Of the soul Or, may
I be the stamp Of struggle Or the
! victory Of service and giving.
But at any rate, the records are
! always true. just as art Is always
I truth
Do you ever wonder what sort Of
: artist you are? Do you ever stop
: long enough calmly, perhaps IN
! rapture, to view the work Of your
myriad thoughts, the handiwork Of
your soul?
: Forget not to do 50. For in ma
: tcrialism you may strive, but in art
do you work.
