or silk braid and buttons. 1t washes
as easily as muslin, takes dye we'll, and
does not crease or wear shiny like
wool materials. 1t is especially suited
to steam heated offices where wool
gowns are uncomfortable.
Always have plenty of fresh, simple
collar and cuff sets, at least two for
each gown. Those made of broadcloth
are durable, may be easily washed, ano
made attractive with touch of wool
embroidery.
Other sets of pique, linen, organdie,
and one handsome lace should be kept
in readiness to freshen simple frock
for any occasion.
The business woman's shoes and
gloves are as important as her dress.
For business or street wear choose
black or brown shoes, with Cuban
heels. Have rubber added because
they decrease noise and strain,
and wear better than leather. Shoes
should be treated to one good shine a
week and given good rubbing each
night with good lambs wool covered
brush. Be sure to have pair of shoe
trees for each pair Of shoes-and keep
the shoes on them every minute they
are not in use. Shoe trees may be
bought for ten centst-aud are worth
ten times the price in keeping our
expensive footwear in shape.

LOYAL III 10 De ElRSI
TEST IN POLITICS
American Legion Defines
It's Attitude Regard
ing Public Affairs.

1.-THE day of reckoning for pseudo
Americans, near Americans and little
Americans in public life approaches
the dawn"
That is part Of the reply of the
American Legion to Texas corre-
spondent who asked The American Lee
gIon Weekly, the official magazine OF
the national organization Of American
veterans Of the great war, to define
the Legion's slogan, "Policies-Not
Politics."
while the American Legion adheres
to its Policies-Not Politics.
the Legion announces, ut conceivably
will have a great deal to do with poll
tics. Not with narrow partisan poll
tics. The Legion was conceived and is
being built of a bigness and soundness
far above that. But it is going to take
cognizance of what is sound practice
and what is not sound practice in the
political reimbursement OF the country.
Its members are not going to wink at
political flabbiness and political rot
tenness. Nor are they going to tenn
porize with public or would-be pub
lie servants whose Americanism is
found tainted with suspicion.
THE word has gone out already
National Headquarters sent ito
every one of the $500 Posts urging
vigorous opposition to aspirants for
public office whose loyalty to America
has been brought in question. The
question Of party affiliations is not OF
the slightest moment or consideration.
This is entirely matter of policy and
sound practice.
There is no place in public life for
draft lodging slackers, any more than
there is for the type of Stacker who was
able to buy Liberty bonds and failed
to do so. We do not believe it is sound
/ practice to put them now in places of
responsibility, leadership and honor.
We do not believe the public wants to
put them there, and we do not believe
they are going to be put there in the
future. Certainly not if the American
Legion can prevent it. And we believe
it can"

In accordance with the custom,
which was established by President
Wilson himself, that of walking, no
paraders in line went otherwise. All
autos and horses were barred from the
line of march. A platoon of Fairmont
police was followed by the delegation
from Wheeling Lodge, %, numbering
$50, which was headed by a band.
Then came Warrington Lodge, 1888, 10U
strong with the Warrington band, an
Elks' musical organization, which was
considered one of the very best in line.
Parkersburg Lodge, 1913, with so mem
bers, was next. Clarksburg Lodge,
4S2, and its own Elks' band, had 300
in line. Moundsville Lodge, 2S2, and

apiece in line. Bluefield Lodge, 269,
had is and Hinton Lodge, 321, 10.
Morgantown Lodge, All, and its
band were next with 200 strong and
Martinsburg Lodge, us, was there
with 20. Huntington Lodge, 313 had
Is and Charleston Lodge, 2O2, was
there with 20. Elkins Lodge 1875,
had 20 in line.
Then came the Greater Fairmont
band which headed the delegation of
Fairmont Lodge, 294, which aggregat-
ed between 300 and 400, and naturally
was the largest delegation in line. The
members wore white duck pantaloons,
dark coats, white hats, sleeve bands
and carried canes. They appeared
very attractive. The Fairmont dele
cation was headed by color guard of
three marine service men-Mike Barry,
Tom Ashcraft and Gray Stump. They
carried the stares and stripes. Thirty
army service men were next and one
Of the number carried the large SER
vice flag OF the Grand Lodge OF Elks,
which has 10000 stars placed therein.
The army service men were headed by
Major Earl H. Smith, of this city.
The navy service men numbering six
came next carrying the service flag Of
Fairmont Lodge with 81 stars in It,
Members of the lodge followed The
High school drug corps was next in
line. A long string of candidates be-
tween 200 and 800 brought up the rear.
Steubenville, 6, had 10 in line.
The Elks in charge OF the parade are
as follows: Chief marshal, E. B. Tuck
er; assistant marshal, Arthur G. Mar
tin; K. A. Rock, Howard Mortified,
Paul Hamilton, Marshall Fleming and
an assistant marshal from every visit
ing Elks' lodge.
After the parade dismissed the mem

A few tips on the proper daily care
of clothes will add much to the aver
age woman's ability to preserve her
reputation for daintiness. 1t will also

Two hours week spent on the care

Always press on the wrong side,

the seams from looking shiny, turn the
skirt on the right side, cover the

REPlRT
ON PEACE TREATY.
Senator Shields Lines Up
in Favor Of the Lodge
Reservations.
(Br Auociinted Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Rejecdon
of the peace treaty with the League OF
Nations covenant or adoption OF
amendments would mean sacrifice by
the United States Of all concessions
obtained from Germany, minority
members of the Foreign Relations
committee declared in report pre-
scented today to the Senate.
The report, prepared by Senator
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, asks for
speedy ratification OF the treaty with :
out amendment or reservation.
Senator Shields, Democrat, Tennes-
see, did not sign the minority report,
having announced that he favored
League covenant reservations prepared
by Chairman Lodge.
The minority denied the claim put
forth In Chairman Lodges report that
the peace conference was still in ses-
sion and had power to bring German
representatives to Paris saying such
power Of compulsion had been ex-
hausted and that Germany had closed
the chapter by signing and ratifying.
II an amended treaty is not signed by
Germany, the report added, then 1t is
in none Of its parts binding on her.
The report commended that the indus
trial world is in ferment, the financial
world in doubt and congress halted
while delay on the treaty had been
caused by the majority of a commit
tee known to be out OF harmony with
the majority Of the Senate and the ma
jority Of the people. Export trade, the
report said, had suffered because of the
delay in ratification. Private enter
prise, 1t said, from now on must keep
up American commerce with Europe.
