Now. whether these sentiments are
! literally true. somewhat overdrawn or
entirely false is beside the point and
need not concern us. If John Spargo
believed that repression during the
! war was putting us in some cases on
a par with the Prussians and was aid
ing the spread OF Bolshevism 1t seems
fair to assume that he made public
and spirited protest against these al
legged injustises at the time when he
says they were being committed But
/ as matter OF fact Mr.. Spargo made
no such protests until much later
date
We assume, therefore, that he is
explaining his own position when he
writes:
Thousands OF liberals and radicals

This seems to have been a pretty

The Hudson Super-Six has proved
master of all stock cars in speed, power.
endurance.
Will you accept lesser car?
Disregard mere claims What are
the facts?
The Hudson made the fastest stock
car mile at the rate of 102 miles per hour.
One car in various official tests ran $500
miles, averaging 80 miles an hour. 1t won
the Pixies Peak contest, the worlds
classic hill-climb test. In continuous
journey it crossed and recrossed the con.
tinent, a distance of 1000 miles in 10 days,
81 hours, feat never performed by
another car
BY sheer endurance it time after time
defeated the worlds fastest racing cars,
in championship speedway races, 1t holds
all the important acceleration records.

For Five Years 1t Has
Led Them All

1t is one of the reasons that $4,000
owners know the Hudson above all as
an endurance car,
Because of what it has shown, not only
in official tests, but in the service Of all
these owners, the Hudson Super-Six has
for nearly FIVE years been the largest sell
ing fine car III the world.
The supply has never been sufficient
for the demand. That often means wait
ing for certain wanted models. You will
avoid disappointment, by placing your
Hudson order, well ahead Of the desired
delivery date.

most enduring, quickest in acceleration.

It's proofs are in official tests where all
may verify them. If any disputes Hud
son supremacy, it is not in official tests.
True you do not need such great speed
as Hudson's You may never meet an
obstacle to test its power limits
But they mean in ordinary driving you
run the Super-Six at half load In per-
Torrance at which lesser cars strain, with
permanent bad results to the mechanism,
the Hudson is easily within its reserve of
speed and power.

SPORTS Wear
Waist, Formerly a Smock, Is a
Prime Favorite Now.
Glass and the Masquerade Proves
a Success.

The return Of our victorious war
riors brings renewed interest in all
outdoor sports. Golf courses are
alive with players, many of whom
have been absent during these war
years. Tennis courts are gay with
pretty girls in b~right-colored sweat
ers and young lads just back from
France.
There is a revival, too, notes q cor
respondent, of some Old-fashiOned
sports. People have even taken to
bicycle riding again. But most inter-
esting of all is the coming back of
archery, the sport that tlouriShed in
the days of "Merrie England" Every
body is learning TO "string a bow" All
this has given an impetus to sport
clothes, and in them there is a well
come departure from the conservative
tailOr-made things Of past seasons.
The sport waist, which formerly
was q silk or linen skirt, and always
tailor-made, has passed through many
incarnationS. Once II was born a

BLEND WITH SUMMERS TInTS
TricoIette Popular for Various Gar
ments for SeasonabIe Wear in
the Country.

Tricolette Is used for many Of this
summers country clothes. Straight
gathered skirts of this material have
warehouses to match, either with or
without sashes. These are embr0id-
cred in angora OF ribbozine, which Is
q narrow silky braid.
From the house Of Cabot a
suit in which two different colOrs Of
tricolette are cleverly used. The up
per portion of the dress Is champagne
color featuring the lines of the smock
or overblouse, while a slate-cOlored
skirt is girdled low On the hips with
a sash also Of slate. One of the new
long scarf collars matching the sash
Is stitched across the back of the neck
and allowed to fall loosely, or 1t may
be worn wrapped around the neck like
a sweater scarf.
Callot also has made a remarkable
sports cape Of r~ose-colOred tweed
with a lining Of pink and white pep
permint striped silk. The long cloak has
a shoulder cape like those worn by the
West Point cadets, and from the back
of this is swung a large hood lined
with silk and draped to reveal this
lining In an effective way.

SILK APRON FOX AFTERNOON
Pretty and Great Saver Of Frocks,
Too-Comes in All Shades
and Sizes.

Those darling little silk aprons, usu-
ally t~affeta, are becoming quite the
rage for afternoons, says a fashion
writer. One doesn't really entertain
in them, you know, except very in
formally indeed, but they certainly are
frOck savers for wearing about the
house. Frocks will become spotted,
no matter how dainty and careful we
are, and the little aprons protect them
beautifully. They are all shapes and
sizes, some mere patches Of silk, while
others are shirred in quite generous
fashion entirely about the waistband,
meeting in the back. They are easy to
make, and n often can economically
use leftover bits of silk from gowns
or cut an apron from the best part Of
an old discarded silk frock. Let me
describe n few for you:
A little gray Quakery apron reaches
to the knees and displays two half
inch tucks above a three-inch hem. It
is prettily Shirred to a silken waist
band, a second row Of fine shirring be-
ing run below the belt, and then the
gathers ~radiating from this carefully
stroked into place In quite the old
time sewing way. The upper portion
OF the apron should extend only to the
two side fronts Of milady's waist, but
the plain silken waistband comes to
within two inches OF meeting at the
back. To the %waistband are attached
sash ties of the silk, which, when tied,
form a pretty streamered bow. Then,
upon the two sides of the apron are
rounded patch pouch pockets, prettily
shirred with a double row of stitching
ut the tops. On the left-hand pocket
is placed u little floral motif made OF
a wee, stuffed, round cushion apple
covered with henna silk and centered
with yellow French knots; this ''iOw-
er-fruit" is accompanied by gray-green
ribbon foliage.

VEIL is IMPORTANT ASSET
Right Sort of Face Covering Enhances
Beauty More Than Any Other
Accessory.

Selecting your wells is as important
right veil enhances a woman's beauty
more than any other accessory OF
dress.
The manner of wearing the veil, too,
is important. French women spend a
great deal of time adjusting their wells.
and consider it time well spent.
More types of wells are worn now
than ever before. There is the ex-.
tremely abbreviated veil, which may
be Of malines and barely cover the
eyes. Then there are iuttering wells
Of real lace. These appear ever on
tailored hats, and they may fall to the
tip Of the nose or In line with the chin.
The picturesque type Of woman should
wear flowing wells; her tabernacle
sister fastens this lacy face covering
eighty under her chin and pins it in
the back.
There is as much diversity In the
mesh and the shape Of the new wells
as there is in the rest of today's fash
ions. There are square wells Of oc-
tagonal mesh, with scrolls and
chenille dots, to be draped I'VE small
hats. Dressy wells have point de Par
is grounds, with wide scrolls through
the center and woven borders. These
have a name all their own; they are
Bo-Peep wells. Just go into n Of the
best shops and try them all on before
the mirror and then buy so many of
the one that flatters you most, and
you will be successfully yelled.

HeadQear for Little Girls.

Elaborate little bonnets or hats are
shown this season for the wee girl.
Sheerest organdie, combined with very

and trimmed with silk flowers and pink
or blue ribbon rosettes and streamers,
form a bonnet which will suit the most
exacting mother. Some Of the more
simple styles may be made at home,
,ut the more ornate ones require the
dSillful touch of the experienced mil
liner.

sport smOck. You would never have
known it as net at first glance because
the material was so well camouflaged.
A running stitch of bright green wor-
sted was used to mark off it's entire
surface in inch squares, then about
every third square was darned in
solid with the green yarn. Around
the waist went a narrow strip knitted
of wool.

The view of the gov ernor was not entertained by the other members of the board. Attorney Gen eral Jones, Secretary of State Sims and State Auditor Boyce. State Treas urer Ross was out of the city.
