Probitionists Now Eager
 To Split UnderWood Vote
Want Someone to Run Who Will Take Underwood Votes. Alabamians Unable to Get Colonel Screws Pro- rnoted-Republicans Prepare to Go On
 an Investigation "Joy Ride'
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington, June 7-(Special.) )-Prohi- bitionists from Alabama and other states as well, gathered in Washington for the prohibition jamboree,'' which came to an end June 8, are concerned with the fact that two of their strong" men are preparing to oppose Senator Underwood for reelection.
 The prohihitionists are very anxious to honor both of these candidates. L. B. Musgrove and S. D. Weakley. They are especially proud of Judge weakley be- cause he wrote the prohibition laws of Alabama, which are said to be more rigid than those of any other state. At the same time they are a.xious to honor l.. B. Musgrove who was chairman of the committed which fought the prohibition amendment to a most successful issue.
 Their concern is apparently aggravated by the fact that neither candidate will retire It is known that preliminary efforts have been exerted to the end that either Musgrove or Weakly might be eliminated. MT. Musgrove, with Brooks Lawrence behind him, feels strong, it is said, and possibly nurtures an idea that Judge Weakley should not run counter to the desire of the machine Judge Weakley. on the other hand did not ask anyone whether he could run or not, and is apparently determined to exercise the right guaranteed him under the con- stitution of attnding to his own busi- ness in the manner which pleases him best.
 It is said that the prohibitionists who are in Washington see but one spark of hope That hope is to induce some man not one of themselves to enter the race. They see themselves divided and would divide their opposition It is said to be their intention to induce ex-Governor O'Neal to enter in order to punish Sem

ANTHONY LOBBYISTS
 CONFIDENT OF FUTURE

Washington. June 7.-(Special )-The lobbyists in support of the Susan B. Anthony amendment rejoiced throughout the week over their success in the Senate Wednesday,
 Their leaders declare that they will vote in 1920 It is their purpose to de- mand special sessions of the legisla- lures of the states which do not meet regularly in 1919 or 1920.
 Enemies of equal suffrage express hope that 13 states will reject the amendment that most of them will be southern states fearful of further involvement of the negro question.
 But this hope, apparently is not enter talned by those who regard the situa- tion from practical standpoints.

UNDERWOOD AMONG
 PRESIDENTIAL FIGURES

Washington, June Especially )-Mun- seys magazine for May contains story regarding presidential possibilities-demo- cratic and experimentation should inter- est Alabama
 First, democratic possibilities are dis cussed. The first man mentioned is the President. He is presented in a full page picture. It is said that he can be the nominee if he desires, but that he doesn't desire. The second man mentioned is Senator Underwood. Under a full page picture it is said that Senator Underwood is the strongest southern possibility, and one of the strongest of the nation. He is spoken of as a sound man in whom the nation has perfect confidence, and one who, if elected, would make an excel lent President. Then come discussions of McAdoo, Bryan and Clark.
 Many republicans are mentioned-Taft, Johnson and others

Attractive Ways of Arranging the Hair

sometimes without even a suspicion of

arrangements the last one is drawn

day they are more usually Of maline

The ''jeune file" still clings to the
exaggerated rolls that extend out over
the ears and beneath the hat, usually
leaving a very minimum OF hair with
which to make the knot in the back.
But the "jeune file" doesn't seem to
care about the back knot at all so long
as her precious ear puffs are generous
in proportion.
But this full roll over the ears is
really not in general favor. and though
sometimes rather effective on the
youthful face 1t does not chime in

IS in vogue really unusual results are
TO be obtained.
We live in a curious completely of
things these days, and our clothes re-
fleet our ways no less curiously-for
instance. the simplest frock will show
first its underneath slip OF silk, satin
or even velvet. since the summer fash
ions are including that also, and then
an overdress OF chiffon or lace or tulle
or some filmy fabric, and then over
the whole is thrown a scarf the width
and length OF the dress OF some soft
floating stun which %envelops the
wearer like a cloud yelling the top Of
a hill. One readily sees that things
therefore are not as simple as they
look, for 1t takes many layers of many
materials to achieve a smart evening
gown these summer nights.
Bewitchins Wraps.
OF all the bewttching things which
have appeared for feminine beguile-
ment are the little capes and wraps
OF soft pale taffetas or satins. These
are just about hip length.
One of the American beauty taffetas
softly curling feathers. These form a
sort Of frings also along the bottom Of
the little cape, and a further touch of
beauty is added in a long scarf which
Is thrown over the shoulder and has
a feather fringe to finish Il in a
length Of fronds at least eighteen
inches. A companion cape Is of violet
blue satin Of the softest possible sheen.
1t Is in reality a straight strip Of the
material shawllike IN cut. A yoke
effect is obtained by means Of a length
OF wonderful brpcade ribbon which runs
along the top from one end to the
other In beautiful color effects. The
lining of this dainty thing is Of sky
blue chiffon.
or course net plays its part In sum-
mer wraps as well as in summer
frocks. Some Of the prettiest of all
evening wraps are made OF silk nets
and banded with strips Of fur scarcely
more than an inch wide. This Is an
enchanting idea. The wraps of soft
nets have really some warmth too, for
We all know that the bits Of tulle

for all their transparency.
The capes of net are longer than the
short taffetas and satins with their
feather trimmings. They reach, in
deed, almost to the hem OF the skirt.
One Of them, which illustrates them
all, Is developed in midnight blue net,
two thicknesses OF which are used for

the burrows and deep pointed collars

~ OES the prevailing mode in
hair arrangement determine
the style in millinery, or is
the matter OF hair arrangement set
tied entirely by the style in hats?
This is perhaps a hard question to
answer, for both positions have at
times been taken by those who are re-
garded as seers in the realm of fash
lon. One thing. however, seems true,
and that Is that the hats this season
are more favorable to q varied and
elaborate hair arrangement than has
been the case for several seasons.
Take the poke shape, for instance.
1t clings gracefully to the head with
out fitting so tight as to prevent a
certnin amount OF tiutfiness about
the forehead and nape of the neck,
while the hats Of n season ago de-
pended on the tight fit OF the band
to gain this snug appearance.
For evening and afternoon this year
there are a good many very light
weight hats and hats with full crowns
of maline or lace. If carefully ad-
Justed these hats may be worn with
a full arrangement of the hair placed
several inches above the nape OF the
neck.
What is the most fashionable way
to arrange the hair this spring?
In Paris the Greek mode seems
most in favor. That is, the arrange
ment is called Greek. though It is
clearly stamped with the mode of the
year 1919 and nothing else. In this
fashion the hair Is allowed TO come
down fairly low on the forehead and
well over the ears. though there is no
exaggeration to pun on the ears. II is
rather snug at the nape OF the neck
and then rises to a graceful psyche
just behind the crown of the head.
Usually three bandeauX go to make
this secure and to give It character,
the lowest of these being usually
placed directly over the forehead,

Easy to Trim Your Own Hat

Never has It been easier to trim your
own hat. In the days when 1t was
necessary to adjust bandeau to make
and fasten in rolls and rosettes OF
maline and then to arrange on the top
OF the hat quantities of complicated
trimming the task Of making home
made hat was arduous and the results
usually impossible. But for the last
few years-this season especially-it is
an easy enough matter for a person
with a distinct idea Of the effect she
wants to produce to trim a hat In a
satisfactory and professional way.
Everything to-day depends on the
line OF the hat itself, In the absence OF
built up trimming, so first select a be-
coming shape. Then the task Is easy.
The only disappointment now in the
home made hat Is that II is no bargain

millinery shop, for feathers and
shapes with the right line cost a pretty
penny. However the woman who
wants to be original can be so at a
smaller expense II she trims her own
hat than II she purchased a really
distinctive hat ready trimmed.
The hat with the brim turned away
from the face is n strong rival OF the
hat that shades the nose.
The milliners are making AN effort
to change the fashion from the latter
shape to the former. Last season they
turned hats up in the back to show the
hair; now they let the brim run
straight out at the back, but turn it
up in front to show the forehead.
Some women show a wave or two OF
hair or BIT Of fringe in the middle
OF the forehead beneath the upturned
brim- This II an innovation
