There is considerable difference of
opinion among people as to the pro-
priety of wearing mourning apparel. 1t
is a difference that cannot be settled
n way or the other so long as mourn
ing does not signify to some people
what Ii does to others. The wearing
OF mourning is not a matter of fash
ion, but an expression of sentiment,
and therefore each person is privileged
TO decide for himself whether it is
fitting and appropriate or not.
Mourning hnts must always be con-
servative in size and In style, avoiding
MI extremes. They require the most
exact and -painstaking workmanship
and are made of distinctive materials.
For first mourning crepe. in black or
white. Is used, and since 1t is moi used
for n other kind of apparel it has
becorne the insignia Of mourning. II

fabrics in garments and In millinery

DANGEROUS
TEACHINGS
President Of Iowa Bar Associate.
Calls Attention to Remarks
Made by College
Professors.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
DAVENPORT, Iowa, June 2S-The
doctrine of an l. W. W., that any man
with dollar is traitor, is far less
dangerous than the. teachings of some
of the professors in our leading col
leges.
This was the startling statement
made by Henry l.. Adams, Des Moines
president of the Iowa State Bar asso
citation, in his annual address to that
body.
Adams spoke openly and to the
point. He lamented the fact that one
of the greatest menaces to our coun.
try today is that some of our col
leges and universities, through their
teachers, are teaching sentiments for
boding anarchy and socialism.
That Iowa is sharing in these con
ditions was brought out by the
speaker when he said:
within the last three months
heard professor in one of our lead.
ing colleges of this state say;
Our constitution was written by
aristocrats for aristocrats."
Another prominent professor In a
great Americans university says,
Adams declared:
"'Ours Is a government Of the few
by the few and for the few, at the ex.
pense and against the wish of the
many"

sS'g Tanks at the keokuk Gas Works
Being Built to Hold Enough to
Last Longer limo With
out Generating.
IS A SAFETY FIRST PLAN
Work VIII be Completed Within Three
Months, and Ia Not to Meet In
creased Demand, But to
Hold Advance Supply

Construction Of an addition to the
storage tanks of the gas company
will begin soon, by which the storage
capacity will be doubled. was the
announcement made by j. p. Ingle
manager of the Keokuk Electric com
pany, yesterday afternoon.
A contract which calls for the
completion of the work within three
months has been made with firm
at Fort Wayne, Ind
The present storage capacity is
10000 cubic feet. The daily con
sumption of gas is between 1875, 900
and 100000 cubic feet. That means
that not more than twelve hours
reserve supply is on hand at any
time. That condition has made 1t
necessary to shut off the gas two or
three times in emergencies, when a
larger reserve would have avoided
that.
Hold Just Twice az Much.
The addition will just double the
capacity, and the holder will contain
10000 cubic feet-more than enough
for twenty-four hours supply.
1t is not TO meet any increased
demand, either in the past of in the
near future, that We are making the
improvements, but merely to assure
better service" was the way Mr..
Ingle put it. 1--WE wanted to do 1t
before, but the war made it impos-
sible for us to get the material"
The present holder was erected
about fifteen years ago and such that
it's capacity can be increased by
placing another section upon it. The
demand for gas at the time it was
built did not justify placing both sec
tions.
When the water was turned off the
town recently, the old tanks held
only enough gas for half day, and
Keokuk came near getting out or
gas as we'll as water,

There would appear to be direct relation between patriotism and the spirit of the American pioneer. This is called to mind by the record of Alaska in the war; set forth in the report of the Secretary of the
 Interior To appreciate this fully, under stand the adverse conditions of transportation, mail and telegraph service, climate, and the immense dis tances in that frontier Many registrants at 100 to 500 miles from the nearest local Board and voluntarily travelled these distances for the purposes of examination and induction into service.
 Yet the cost of the first registration of 071 ndi- vduas was $380, or 32 cents per registralt. This is most impressive when compared with the nation average of 54 cents in 1917. There an, unusual

The Territory thus is shown to have furnished approximately 12 per cent. of it's total white population to the colors The total cost of in duction was $5.45 per inducted, by comparison with $4.93, the National average which is amaz- ing showing when physical difficulties considered.
 It is also that there has been rather def- mite previous process of selection in determining the kind of who voluntarily seek life in the new places. Only 10 per cent. of the registrants ined rejected by local boards. The National average for 1917 29 per Of those accepted by local boards, only 2.6 per cent rejected at mobilization camps. The National average here was 5.8 per cent. From this it would that the Ter ritory is well supplied wtf conscientious physicians who know their business.
