ALABAMA FOR MINNEAPOLIS

The Alabama delegation voted solid for Minneapolis and also against admitting the so-called bolshevik clements They yelled: Get rid of big Bill Thompson and we will come to Chicago-not be . core.
 Due to the uproar and the slowness of parliamentary action the caucus did not proceed beyond the naming of the next meeting place today. The reports of the
 important committees on resolutions and bylaws and constitution and organiza ' ton and finance are still to be heard. These reports are awaited with grea. deal of anxiety by the southern dele- gates, as the northerners are forcing the issue of bringing on the floor of the caucus the admission of negroes into the American legion on an equal basis with the whites. The proposition is that for every thousand negroes belonging to ths American legion they should have del egate The same ratio applies to tha whites.

Small Accumulations
om the Thrift Magazine.

From the Thrift Magazine.
 Never despise small savings no matter how you are situated.
 Arrange to put aside at least small sum of money regularly.
 Never allow yourself to believe that your circumstances will not permit you to prac- tice thrift. If you do not show the abil- ity to save at least something today, you will have even a harder fight on your hands in the future. Remember above all things that the smallest amounts sys- tematical1y laid by will become big, bounteous, welcome sums in the years to come.
 If you are able to put away only g. 50 a month you will have $36S in 10 years, if your savings are deposited at per cent compound interest: s a month will amount to $442; $4 month will become sSS9; s4 50 a month will grow to $663; 5 month will total $737; $6 a month will be- come $SS5; g. 50 a month will sum up $11e6; and $1O month or less than g. 50 week

SENSATIONS FEATURE SESSION
 Rv Axsociafpd Press

St. Louis. May 9.-Efforts on the part of leaders in the American legion to pre- vent questions considered of political nature coming to a vote in the caucus, a vigorous attack on the patriotism of Chicago and its mayor. William H. Thompson, and selection of Minneapolis as the next convention city were among the developments in today's session of the soldiers, sailors and marines organi- ration which is holding its first na- tional caucus here.
 For the time being. at least, the ques- ton of the caucus attitude on prohbi- ton and on the charges of national guard officers that they have been un- fairly dscriminated against in favor of regular army men, was set aside The prohibition question was killed in a spe- cial meeting of the national resolutions committee and national guard question also temporarily laid aside. The move is understood to have the backing of Lieut. Col Theodore Roosevelt Col. Bennett Clark and other leaders in the organiza- ton. Backers of resolutions regarding these two questions insist they will force the caucus to take some action
 Chicago and Mayor Thompson were bit- terly denounced as unpatriotic when the question of the next convention city came Up. The Chicago delegation had decor ated the convention hall with signs, boost Ing that city, but, after speech by J. F. J. Herbert of Massachusetts, dele gates tore down many of them.

 There are many different kinds of rompers-many materials, that is; for romper is a romper, so far as shape goes-a straight loose little garment with elbow sleeves and very full knick- CTS to the knee. Rompers for the toddler are cut straight across the lower edge; or rather. the material IS folded here, and slashed openings cut obliquely across the lower corners or this bag-shaped garment are run With elastic which holds the boomer at the knee. Usually the top of the bag IS cut in kimono sleeve style and the romper fastens at the shoulder seams. For older children the knickers are shaped with seams, and sometimes are gathered to a belt and attached to the waist portion of the garment.
 One of the baby rompers. with fold across the bottom and oblique slashes for the legs to pass through, is pictured in the striped seersucker model. The kimono sleeves are in one with the garment and the fasten- ing comes at the shoulder under neat turnover collar of white pique. The little limbs and body have perfect freedom in this loose, bag-shaped romper and baby may tumble. scram- ble and crawl with perfect enjoyment.

N is a far cry indeed from the U ancient "shirtwaist," which used to H be all the blouse there was, to the E last word in blousewear from Paris, the stunning "Casaque," almost sleeveless and with graceful, straight lines loosely caught in by knotted sash. Blouses have steadily grown in favor, in spite all the dismal prophe- | sies that their day was over, in 19Oo, and 1905 and 1908 and so on. The couturiers, knowing the danger to complete frocks-the sort of creation they get most credit for-did their utmost to throw the skirt-and-waist costume into disrepute, but the blouse held it's own. It was too valuable feature of the feminine wardrobe to be discarded, and now the couturiers, finding they must take the blouse se- riously, are making very serious af- fair of it indeed and are creating blouses that have sufficient originality and distinction to do them honor.
 Over-The- Waist Styles In Favor
 In Paris they call the blouse "bloose." What Americans call the tailored blouse is known in Paris as a shirt. The Parisienne speaks of her formal "bloose" and her athletic shirt" and great Is the difference be- tween these two articles of apparel. All the dressy "blooses" fall over the waistline and resemble straight, chemise-like tunics caught in loosely at the waistline or slightly below it, by sash or girdle. The shirt" usual ly ends at the waistline under neat belt, though there are over-the-waist models on the middy lines for gar dening. tennis and boating wear. Mid way between the stern shirt" and the dressy "bloose" comes the dainty 'tie- around" model with surplice fronts that cross and extend around to the back, where they tie in fluffy, but terfly bow. Perhaps these tie-around blouses are the prettiest models of the season; they have charming, fem mine air and are becoming to all wom- en. They come just over the waist line and therefore give a longer line to the figure than waist ending un- der a belt, and since they are always built of soft material, like thin silk, chiffon or printed Georgette. they are very becoming to face and neck. Ii is the easiest thing in the world to
 
 the pretty work by hand, evenings and turn out blouse in no time Shoulder and armhole seams and the hem edging the short sleeve may be taken to the hemstitcher; the under arm seams may be run up by hand and the surplice front edges and ends which form the sashbow hemmed by hand. One needs no collar-a string of beads will be all-sufficient for neck finish. These tie-arounds are lovely in printed Georgette in light coloring: and they are quite the rage this sum mer.
 La Casaque" Has Dignity
 In spite of it's sleevelessness and it. lines, exactly like those of chemise the new Casaque blouse has grea dignity and distinction. This is be cause of its rich fabric, for one thing The handsomest materials go into these blouses which cost from twenty five to a hundred dollars in the shops Yet there is very little material wher

 Embroidery

English woman lives through most or the day in a tailored suit and she has two dozen or more blouses to go with it-sport shirts, very dressy blouses. and plenty of dainty, semi tailored models of the sort pictured. One of these blouses is of sheer white batiste with an ordinary buttoned front and long sleeves. A deep pleated ruffie of the material falls from the roundabout neck. This frill, the cuffs andY all the seams are hemstitched in color and a ribbon cravat bow matches the color. The other so-called tail ored' blouse is of flesh pink Georgette with tucks at the shoulder and at the wrist. It is a slip-over model, the vestee fastening to the under side of l the blouse front. which gives one room to get into and out of the gar ment- with ease. Here again is the flat collar and long turned back revers which depart from the perfectly plain neckline. These trimmings, the cuffs and the rounded front of the blouse are embroidered with French knots closely placed, and the vestee is em- 1 broidered to match-with rose and white yarn.
 Two New Tunic Blouses
 Simple and practical designs in tunic blouses are shown in two other illustrations today. One of these models is a sport blouse of white tub silk with an effective and easily done embroidery in shaded blue yarn-just running stitch describing a Greek border with small embroidered discs enclosed by the border pattern. The blouse fastens down one side, under a pleat; it is cut on perfectly straight middy lines and a knotted sash con, ; fines it softly at the waistline. The other model is made of crepe de chine and its soft, comfortable lines and front-opening make it an ideal morn
 ing or afternoon blouse for at-home
