A Child Must Lead

The human race has got itself into the
bad fix 1t is in by deserting the children,
It's eyes fixed on material progress, its
heart set on motion in the empire Of
matter, it has forgotten the magic of its
origin-childhood.
The human being today knows all
sports, he indulges in a thousand pas
times, from picnicking to horse racing
but he has forgotten how to play.
The play spirit in us is lost because
we have got too far away from the heart

thing to teach us. and to whom we

few minutes he had suggested that
they go upstairs and tell the family.
Julia was willing enough. Strange to say
she was more than willing; she was
eager to go. She felt uncomfortable
alone with Dam. she wanted time to
think the thing out, TO get readjusted,
to realize that at last all of her un-
happiness was over, and that she could
return to the same state of mind that
she had been in before that dreadful
night when Dan had sheepishly con
fessed that he loved another woman.
Dan slipped his arm around her as
they went slowly up the dark stairs.
and there was but one conclusion to be
drawn when Julia opened The door OF

in. Mr.. Grant put down his paper ana

expression of utter joy crossed Mrs,

Satin and tulle and IL ,,vOfusiOn Of
beads supply the material for this
little dance frOck
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
IF BEADS were suddenly taken from
l. our wardrobe where would we be?
We would hardly have a frock intact.
Our favorite hand bags would be de
nuded. our slipper buckled would show
nothing but canvas frame and the
newest bits of bijouterie in OUT colltc-
tion would be the cords or ribbons on
which the beads had been strung. Our
hats would be undone and in many
cases there would be little left of our
evening frocks but bit of tulle and
ribbon. Such is our addiction to beads
In this year of grace, 1919!
Which is very interesting in
view of the fact that beads have always
had a strong appeal to primitive folk.
Children take to them like ducks to
water aud savage would barter his soul
of ivory for a few beads. The great
northern fur trading companies acquired
priceless sables from the Indians in ex-
change for such trinkets with which to
decorate coats and belts and headgear.
And the story is that Manhattan Island
was sold to the whites for string of
wampum
Perhaps we are only proving that we
are primitive ourselves at heart since we
have gone in so strongly for beads IN
our clothes. And it is not only the
women-for you know yourself that the
men always admire most the evening
frock that is most heavily trimmed with
beads.
Satin. then tulle, and then on the
tulle profusion of beads-such is the
frock shown in the sketch today. 1t is
an excellent frock for dancing, since it
is innocent of the little fish tail train
that is found on so many of the new
evening frocks and that never was de-
yised to make dancing easier. Though
scant of skirt there is still enough
breadth here to make it possible to
dance without actual difficulty, point
in it's favor in season when dancing Is
promised to be even more popular than
ever before.

DIRECT METHOD SUGGESTED FOR
 ASIATlC CABLE
SAYS MARINE CABLE CONNEC- TON OF SEATTLE WITH ASIA BY WAY OF ALASKA AND ALEU- THAN ISLANDS IS ENTIRELY PRACTICAL.

WASHINGTON D. C., Oct. 15.-(P)
 The war department today filed a report with the senate commerce con- mittee stating that marine cable connecting Seattle with Asia is en- tirely practical. This scheme when submitted to the navy several months ago was believed by the navy officials not to be feasible.
 The report of the war officials states that a marine cable laid by the way of Alaska and the Aleutian is- lands could be easily worked between Seattle and Asia and would suffer no interference from ice. It recommends that an auxiliary route thru the Ana dyr station in Russia to be considered in connection with the cable. Another auxiliary route is suggested, using the present Alaska cable to Valdez where messages could be relayed by wire less to the Aleutins and there cabled to Japan. This would necessitate the construction of a wireless plant at Valdez, none being available there now.

Force. he said. is not needed under the system of dem- ocracy to attain worthy ends.
 Recent developments, asserted the attorney general. indicates that some of those who have already been ad- mitted to the country from across the Atlantic have not forsken their methods of violence to attain desired ends. These and those to come in the future, he declared. must be made to realize that violence has no place in America and that law and order must be preserved.

 LABOR OF MANY MONTHS; EX- PECTS TO BE BACK IN INDUS TRIAL CONFERENCE BY TO- MORROW'S SESSION.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-R)- Despite the fact that his physicians have ordered him to absolute quiet and rest, President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, who was taken i'll during last night, stated to friends today that he ex- poets to be able to return to the na- tional industrial conference sessions tomorrow. MT. Gompers, according to labor leaders. has broken down from nervous exhaustion, brot on by months of unremitting work in con- nection with the peace treaty in Versailles and the international la bor conference which he attended in Amsterdam. His condition was great ly weakened when he arrived in America recently and this was az gravated by the steel strike now in progress.
 Other labor leaders apparently do not share MT. Gompers' confidence that he will be back at work in short a time. It was stated today that in case of an extended illness the American Federation of Labor may elect First Vice-President James Duncan as temporary presi- dent to fill President Gompers' place until the latter is able to resume his duties.
 MUCH BETTER.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 15.-R) A statemen issued by physicians attending Samuel Gompers issued a bulletin late tonight stating that the noted labor leader is greatly improv- ed.
