CARRANZA AND 0UTLAwED MEXICO

Failure Of the a,liet powers to
invite Mexico to participate in the con-
ference of neutrals at Paris has
aroused President Carranza to bitter
resentment. which has been enhanced
by the Incorporation of recognition OF
the Monroe doctrine in the covenant
of the league of nations without con-
sultation with Mexico.
An official Mexican statement de-
clares that the Mexican government
"has not recognized. nor will it rec
ogniZe. the Monroe doctrine or any
other which may attack the sovereign
Independence of Mexico"
Chicago business men who recent
~ returned from a survey Of condi-
tiOns in the interior of Mexico are
practically unanimous in the belief
that the peace conference, by class
ing Mexico among the outlaw ma
tons of the world. completely reversed
the political situation in that country
and wrote fms after the name of
Carranza. Many subscribe to the sentin

SENATE AND LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Washington advices are that the
attitude Of Republican United States
senators who have been ut home CON-
sulting their constituents on the
league Of nations is fairly summed up
by Senator Sherman of Illinois, who
said:
1.-The league has been improved
somewhat, but not sufficiently to justi-
fy me in voting for it."
In the meantime the Republican
senator's will probably refrain from
airing their views until conference
has been held.
A canvass Of the attitude Of the Re
publican senators shows that 33 are
against the covenant, ten are doubtful
and six support 1t. Another estimate
made public by the League to Enforce

To Remove Fruit Stains.


When fruit stains are fresh pour
boiling water steadily through them
and they will usually disappear. If the
water is hard, borax or ammonia in a
small quantity should be added to the
water.
Fruit and wine stains, If dry, should
be soaked in cold water, like tea
stains. Then stretch the stained fabric
over basin, rub with common salt
and pour boiling water through the
stain. Or 1t can be rubbed with lem
en-, instead Of using boiling water. Re-
peat, if necessary, and If all is not re-
moved let the rest wear out. Some
fruit and wine stains, especially those
Of apple and pear, and some clarets,
are very difficult to remove. If they
are boiled gently latter soaking) in
some strong borax and water, well
rinsed, then hung out in the sunshine,
or better, left hanging out during
frosty night, the stains will disappear.
The articles should be dripping wet
when hung out.
To Remove Grass Stains. -
Grass stains will yield to the cologne
application, though thorough bath
In alcohol is. perhaps, more certain.
Kerosene is another liquid that may
be applied successfully to grass stains,
while some recommend covering the
spots with paste made from cream
of tartar and water.
This should not be used in the case
OF colored goods, as the color is like
ly to disappear.

Suits for summer wear, as first
requirement for good style, must look
cool. Many Of them accomplish this
fine beginning and achieve a happy
ending by being actually cool; they
are made of loosely woven, light
weight silk or fiber fabrics that are
the least burdensome of hot weather
suitings as well as the most fashion
able. Besides these there are those
unfailing pongees and mohairs with
advantages Of their own to recon-
mend them, and linen Is still ''in the
running" But In the race for prefer
'ence with women of fashion these
7ong-familiar fabrics have been out
distanced by the newer weaves.
In the two suits shown in the pic
ture the one at the left is typical of
the style that leads for suits made of
light jersey, silk. and silk fiber suit
ings. Straight hanging coats and
skirts less narrow than those made
of the usual wool. clothes are the rule
in these suits. The sweater coat is the
model followed in nearly all Of them,
to be worn with or without vests. Vests
for midsummer, made of organdy and
other sheer cottons, often in combina-
ton with narrow laces, take the place
of vests of heavier fabrics that have
had such sweeping popularity. The
cool, three-quarter length sleeve is a
feature of this suit and it is shown
with satin vest having leaf ard
lattice design embroidered in gray and
silver. There is a narrow sash across
the front of the satin, the ends finish
ed with small f1ower-like ornaments
made of silver ribbon.
The suit at the right is conven-
tional tailored model of white cloth
with hair line stripes which may be
in brown, blue, green or black. The
coat, while not straight-line model,
is cut on easy but trim lines. This,
