Of dense black. 1t is difficult to
meet the demand for so much monkey
fur and one can readily believe this
after having seen it used in such
profusion on the late summer and
early autumn things. The black
fur was used even on white organdy
dresses. Due to this shortage dress
makers and milliners have substi-
tuted goat fur because it is long and
scraggy and gives much the same
effect.
1t is little early to predict what
will be accepted among the new furs.

Overturning Precedent
In Making Fur Coats

During the last five years there
has been a real revolution in the
styles of fur garments. Before that
time a distinctive fur coat or scarf
was rarely seen. No article of dress
was more conventional than fur.
Then it took years, not seasons, to
change q style in furs and the crea-
tors of these garments never thought
Of conforming to the constantly
varying styles in frocks; even when
huge sleeves were worn in dresses
the sleeves of fur coats remained
close fitting.
Now that fur wraps are designed
to fit in with the gowns worn-and
even dresses frequently are partly
made Of fur-there has been a great
stimulation in the fur business. Fur
riers were late in recognizing the
fact that just as many furs as gowns
could be sold if they handled their
materials and designs with as much
originality as dressmakers display
in the use Of silks, satins and velvets.
We must admit that the softly
draped fur coats are infinitely more
attractive than the oldtime ones,
which we considered more as utility
garments than as decorations.
The new fur coats for evening as
we'll as day time wear are extremely
full, which necessitates the use of a
great many skins. The collars are
large and draped as softly as any
silk or velvet collar could be. One

The Reaction From.
The Colorful Wrap
'E'HERE is q tremendous vogue for
black and white wraps; reac-

for black and white has brought
about many eccentric combinations

Italy has conceded the point as to Fiume

to agree to almost anything in preference to
defeating the great peace. This decided change
in the Italian attitude is accompanied by a
corresponding alteration in the Jugoslavian posi-
ton Serbia and her associates in the new
national domination no longer make requests
now they prefer demands. AS Italy has given
way on point after point the other side has been
encouraged to ask more and more, showing no
sign of moderation. 1t is now admitted that
what was thought to have been disposed of
with the Italian agreement to the plan for max
ing Fiume free city has again become source

be laid before an American group for media

are apparently determined to push any advan-

Nebraska's HYDRO Electric Power.

The reportsof committee to the Omaha
Real Estate Exchange the possibilities of
the so-called Columbus power project may
stimulate new discussion of the states re-
sources in the matter of hydro-electric power.
Little if anything new is brought out in the
quoted report from the state engineer unless it
be the bringing up to date of the cost of deliver
ing the power to the distributing system in
Omaha. Many partial surveys have been made
of Nebraska streams as to their flow and de-
pendability, and some examinations have gone
much deeper, bringing out difficulties that will
be encountered in construction and operation,
and other points that must be considered by
investors. These have generally been of a
character to discourage private capital from
undertaking the job of exploiting the water
power of the state. If what the state engineer
says is true, it constitutes serious indictment
of the people of the state He but repeats what
has been said before, and in equally impressive
language. What is to be settled by the proposed
inquiry will be the feasibility of developing,
delivering and selling the power, not only in
Omaha but elsewhere throughout the state.

What the LeaQue Means

A large measure of disappointment is OBJ
viousy the portion of those who expected the
league of nations to rise in complete and har-
monious beauty ON a perfectly levelled ground
of principle, site cleared of all local and
selfish preoccupations. No such disappointment
awaits those who looked forward, not to the
rise of beautiful architectural monument, but
to the birth of living thing, and like most
newborn things, the features yet to take per-
feet form, the eyes little weak to the sun, awk-
ward, red-faced, squalling a good deal-but alive.
Much more desirable than lovely and COM
pleted monument for people to look at and
leave out of the common reckoning is living
organism qualified to function. And it is func-
tons that are constantly being assigned to the
league of nations. Thus far we know that it
will have something to do in connection with
Danzg, with the Saar Valley, with the German
colonies, with Shantung, and not improbably
with Fiume; and this is to leave out of account
the broader problems of international food,
shipping and finance including the reparations
and indemnities from the central powers. This
is what Lloyd George meant when he said that
the time spent on the covenant of the league
was saving of time in the business of making
peace. 1t is what Mr.. Wilson has had in his
mind from the beginning.

Shell Shock Is Neur0sIs

The medical department Of the United States
army has found that the early conclusions re-
garding shell shock are not true. There is really
no such thing as shell shock, although there
are many cases of war neurosis. War neurosis
is really not different from neurosis found be-
yond the war zone.
Neurosis, whether found in the army or
among civilians, is a subconscious desire and
the physical condition induced thereby to avoid
discomfort. In the army, it is subconscious
desire to get to or to remain at the rear. How
ever, it does not necessarily follow that the pa
tient is lacking in courage, for there are many
cases of war neuross induced by the mental at
titude OF the patient concerning promotions,
leave alleged favoritisnl, etc. Among officers
necrosis is often induced by the responsibility
occasioned by the demands at the front.
Investigation has shown that shell shock
or neurosis is unheard of among prisoners, al
though they may be in fearful physical or men
tai condition, just as it is almost unheard OF
among wounded, excepting those who are about
to be returned to their commands
Emphasis should be laid on the fact that
she'll shock or neuross is subconscious atti
tude and disease which must be cured. There
are comparatively few cases of patients taking
Many soldiers having neurosis will remain

End of a Big Job In Sight.

June 80 is fixed now as the date for the
finish of Americas big job of furnishing food
tor hungry Europe. By that time it is now
calculated we will have sent across enough of
food stuffs to supply the people over there until
they can harvest their own. For several months,
almost since the signing of the armistice, we
have been shipping 100000 tons month of
all sorts of eatables and have fairly we'll COM
p!eted our share of the bargain.
The Food administrator expects to wind
up his business at once, put up the shutters, and
allow Americans to get back to the old style
of using all they want of their own raising
Exact amounts apportioned to the several coun-
tries we undertook to help are not yet announ-
ced, but the information is given that the $780,
100000 appropriated by congress will be ex-
pended, and that of this perhaps $3,0O0OOO will
have been given outright to people who could
not help themselves
Abroad the administration has done some
thing more than merely to allocate and direct
the distribution of relief. 1t has arranged for
a resumption of trade between the severa! CEN
trail countries. seeing that the surplus of one
was sent to another, where payment could be
made in kind if not in cash, and thus has de-
veloped postwar interchange of commodities
that is already having an effect on relations that
may bring a much better feeling than has been
known for long time.
Eventually the world may get some exact
data as to the work done by the Food admins
tration, but it already knows that phase of the
war is more worthy of review than that played
by Americans in giving up their own food that
Europe might be saved from starvation.

A few days ago an inspired and

The article assumed the existence of

son suggested the opposite situation.
Inquiry among the average voters
ELECTS the information that the aver
age voter is not for militarism in
any form. The great war about to
be closed was a death knell to mill
tarism. The returning soldiers are
not for militarism. nor for universal
training. 1t was the slogan that we
were to forever stamp out militar-
ism and it's menace that enthused
America. The slogan, Wilson kept
us out of the war;" was what elected
Wilson, because the voters were
against war and believed Wilson
would keep us out of it. Ninety-f1ve
per cent of the people are for some
league Of nations, even If at it's best
may only be a promise or weak eff
fort at preventing a recurrence of
war. America as whole is not for
war and any person whose life and
training savors of war or the mill
tary will not be popular candidate
On the other hand, any man who
has shown himself to be a consistent
advocate Of any means to avoid war
will appeal strongly to men of all
classes and especially the new vot-
ers, the women, who are most great

The hearts that break and the souls

For God, Who watcheth. He knoweth

And life is worth living after all.

And under loves sorrowful, sweet refrain
Are echoes of laughter. soft and low:
Seeds that are scattered shall blossom

And the sunshine come VIXEN the shadows

Life is worth living after all;
Toll is lightened by noontide rest,
And baby lips on the mothers breast
Blot out the losses beyond recall;
The robin sings as he builds his nest
And life is worth living after all.
For sweet are the greetings when day is
done,
And tender the hands that clings to ours.
And after this world with its sun and its

And its ties that are broken one by one,
Sound is the sleep under drifting flowers
And life is worth living when life is done.

THE RECONSTRUCTION CONGRESS.

The session of congress starting today will
have before it the whole program of getting
the country back from war to peace. The
democrats failed absolutely and completely in
meeting the requirements. 1t was made ap-
parent to the world in July last year that the
end of the war was not far away and likely
to be reached at any time, Instead Of taking
needed steps to anticipate the sudden coming
of peace the democrats got ready just as they
did for war, by doing nothing at all.
Even when the armistice was signed in No.
vember and it was made clear that the fighting
was over no progress was made on the recon-
struction plans submitted, and when the Sixty
fifth congress went out OF existence in March,
it left everything at loose ends, not even pass
ing appropriation measures necessary to carry
on the government. No record of incompetency
ever made in America by legislative body is
more dismal than that of the democratic war"
congress
The congress assembling today is controlled
by the republicans, whom the people have COM
missioned to deal with the momentous ques-
tons that must be settled. Laws for the future
include those that were asked of the democrats,
such as fixing definite military policy, regu-
latng the control OF Oil and coal lands, reclaim
alton of waste areas to promote water power
development, immigration and other measures
needed for national security and prosperity
These are definitely pledged and will be brought
out in time
Early on the list for enactment are placed
bills to restore the. telegraphs and telephone
wires to their owners, to adjust the railroad sit
,1ation and to submit the women suffra OF amend
ment to the states for ratification. Along with
these will go the merchant marine, readjustment
of revenue regulations, and such tariff legisla-
ton as will take part of the burden off the
democratic consumer and put it on the foreign
producer.
The docket is a full one, yet the public is
certain it will not be sighted in any particular,
and the land will not be left without relief as
it was by the democratic congress that died
last March.
