When Linen Dies Young

The life of linen depends its quality and strength
Because of the easier methods of the laundry apt to
last longer if washed in the laundry.
Cheap linens sometimes contain filler Thus after the
first washing they seldom look well when purchased
Cheap linens do not last long proportion their cost
good linens; therefore cheap linens are not cheap
Our experience prompts urge every housewife buy
only the best fabrics of whatever kind
Linen dies young when it is born weak
All linens the best have limit of life and usefulness
And they usually go quick when they go. One week they
apparently whole; after the washing, beyond
repair.
hey have simply gone the limit and collapsed; which,
after ALL is the best proof of their long service
Laundries like all other humanity conducted institutions
perfect They make their share of errors and do
their share of imperfect work
But in the light of the foregoing to unquesonaby lace
the blame for all torn and fabrics the should
of your laundry UNJUST and one, when posses
sion of facts wants to be unjust.
That is why we print facts, instead Of fancies
Perfection aim that realized But that degree
of perfection which pride and work make pos
sble this laundry sustans

Unconfirmed When
Congress Adjourns

Washington, March 4.-Seventeen
hundred nominations, including
those of A. Mitchell Palmer to be at
torney general and John Shelton
Williams to succeed himself as comp
troller of the currency, remained un-
confirmed today when congress adj
journed. On the list were approxi-
mately 1000 postmasters, 500 army
officers and 200 navy officers.
The senate in failing to act upon
Mr.. Palmer's nomination establish
ed a precedent according to oldest
attaches who said it was the Gus
tom to pass without delay upon ap-
pointments of members of the cab
met.
Other important nominations un-
confirmed were those Of Major
Generals Robert E. Noble and Wal
ter D. McGraw to be brigadier
generals in the regular army estab-
lishment.
Mr.. Palmer and Mr.. Williams will
be given recess appointments by the
president under which they will
hold office until the new congress
assemblies. Postmasters hold over
until their successors qualify. Army
and navy officers may be given the
temporary rank to which they were
nominated and then renominated
when congress meets again. Upon
confirmation their new rank would
date from the day of the original
nominations.

Wilson Persists in Refusal to
Call Extra Session to Pass
Supply Bills Killed by
= FiI.buSter.

Washington, March A bitter
controversy between President Will
son and the senate over the league
of nations and a filibuster by a few
republican senators seeking to force
an immediate extra session, marked
the passing at noon today of the
Sixty-fifth or great war congress.
Called in April, 1917, to throw
Americas weight into the conflict
overseas, the congress held three
momentous and historic sessions.
Partisanship lay dormant during the
war. but it broke forth in the last
session to culminate in a final fill
buster which successfully blocked
passage of half of the IA regular
appropriation bills, including the
$750000,000 railroad administration
revolving fund, and the huge army,
navysand merchant marine budgets.
Disapproval in Record.
Although unsuccessful in their
efforts to record the senate in favor
of amendment of the constitution
Of the league of nations as now
drawn, the republican senator's left
in the record a resolution approved
by 80 of them opposing acceptance
Of the charter in its present form.
Republican Leader Lodge and other
spokesmen said this was notice to
the president and the peace confer
ence that the necessary two-thirds
majority in the new senate for rati-
fication of the present plan could
not be obtained.
Democratic leaders privately ex-
pressed belief that amendments
would be made soon after the presi-
dent reached Paris.
President Wilson spent an hour
at the capitol before adjournment.
Later he formally announced that
despite the death in the filibuster of
the railroad and other bills he would
adhere to his refusal to call the new
congress before his return from
France and criticised "a group of
men" for their obstruction.
AS result of the flibuster which
held the senate in continuous ses-
sion for So hours the president had
little to do at the capitol except sign
the $l.000000,000 wheat guarantee
bill and exchange leave takings with
members and friends.
Midsummer Call Expected.
Because of the presidents decision
on the extra session, members who
crowded outgoing trains tonight felt
assured that congress would not
again assemble much before June /.
Leaders predicted that then it would
remain in continuous session until
the 1920 political convention.
During the recess business will be
virtually suspended, except for re-
sumption tomorrow of the Overman
committees propaganda investiga-
ton and the meeting at the same
time of the house republican COM

she and her soldier, who is also a

New York, March 5.-President
Wilson went aboard the U. S. S.
George Washington at 1905 this
morning with Mrs. Wilson and
other members of his party. The
steamship is scheduled to sail for
France at BIS a. m. today.
New York, March 4.-On the eve
of his return to the peace confer
ence President Wilson delivered an
address here tonight at the Metro
politan opera house, urging estab-
lishment of a league of nations.
Former PRESIDENT Taft, speaking
from the same platform, also out
lined his reasons for believing that
league should be formed to pre-
vent future wars.
Governor Smith Of New York pre-
sided at the meeting and introduced
both President Wilson and Mr.. Taft.
Long before the president, com
ing here tonight from Washington
to sail from Hoboken tomorrow on
the steamer George Washington,
reached the opera house, great
crowds had collected along Broad
way and Seventh avenue, while hum
dreds of policemen, the strongest
guard ever provided in this city, was
stationed at every few PAGES around
the building.
Opera House Searched.
One hour before the doors were
thrown open to the few thousands
who had been able to obtain tickets
20 inspectors from police head
quarters searched the opera house
from cellar to uppermost gallery,
showing evidence of precautions
taken to protect Americas chief ex-
ecutiye. Roofs of buildings nearby
we're also searched.
Police lines were drawn two
blocks from all sides of the opera
house. Seat holders, arriving in
automobiles were forced to descend
one block from the building and
walk to the main entrance. AT least
IS uniformed policemen vised each
ticket before seat holder could
reach the main entrance of the build
ing and almost as many more men
scanned the tickets before person
reached his seat.
The doors were opened shortly
after O'Clock and as fashionabiy
dressed men and women, with many
representatives of army, navy and
marines, filed down the aisies to
their seats, the port of embarkation
band played patriotic airs.
Enter Arm-in-Arm.
The president and Mr.. Taft walk
ed on the stage arm-in-arm. They
were applauded for several minutes.
The audience remained standing un-
til the president took his seat
As president and ex-President
Taft emerged from the room in
which they conferred and walked
through the thronged wings onto
the stage, Mr.. Taft said:
Il don't know on which side Of
you should walk, Mr.. President"
He was on the left and the presi-
dent smiled and nodded.
A wave of cheers swept over the
house as the president and Mr. Taft

Civilization, unless we try to
save it, may be precipitated and
shattered to atoms. 1t can only be
saved by the triumph of justice and
fair play to all classes alike"
The premier warned the commit

never again be put in dread of the
horrors Of distress and hunger.

The task Of supplying the world
with material had fallen to the
United States and England, and pos
sibly Japan, the premier continued.
1t was a mistake, he said. to keep
men working longer hours than
we're absolutely necessary, but at
the same time foreign competition
and the need of productivity must
be borne in mind.
He pointed OUT to the workers
that what was happening in Russia
might happen in Germany and else
where. He said that anarchy was

Woodrow Wilson Sayre.
The president, accompanied by

station in an automobile, a distance
of six blocks, to Jefferson hospital,
where his daughter is patient. The
streets through which he passed
were lined by cheering crowds.
Every precaution had been taken
to safeguard the president and ropes
were stretched to prevent the
crowds from overflowing into the
streets and impeding the passage Of
the automobiles carrying him and

republicans did not see fit to enter
into any guessing contest and to
how many billions the country
would be called upon to expend dur
ing the fiscal year of 1920.
So the republicans let these demo-
Gratis drift and their guess as to
Wilson's program was anything but
reliable.
Republicans Serve Notice.
The most important fact connect
ed with the closing session Of to-
day is the determined attitude of the
senate when 80 leading republicans
served record notice on the presi-
dent that they, constituting more
than one-third of the senate, can and
will defeat the present proposed
league of nations compact.
Out of this situation a battle roy
al is expected between the presi-
dent and the senate. The president
came to Washington in decided i'll
humor. He leaves in a mental state
not greatly improved. To his de-
mands for legislation the senate
yielded only on the bond question.

bers Of the committee on commit
tees is called for tomorrow morn
