HAT ever possess "a Mrs
Worth to wear thaz heavy
shade of pink, of which her linen
suit is made, is more than can

tanned and it makes her look
dreadful. / think the way the suit

box coat with perfectly huge side
pockets trimmed with fancy lin
Ell tassels, the color of the suit
The cuffs, also are trimmed with
them and the skirt has a very
wide belt fastened, eicaer side,
with tassels pulled through but
ton holes. 1t would have been
perfectly good looking in white,
biege, tan or any color except
that vivid pink; and even then it
might moi have been 20 unflat-
tering if only she had worn
black hat instead of a white one.

RUSSIANS TO join
Prospects Bright for Four Fac
tiOns at the Conference.
Ukraine, Crimea. BOlshevists
Are Ready To Come.

Paris, Feb. 12.-Prospects are
Frightening for the assembling of at
least four of the Russian factions at
the conference to be held on the
Princes Islands
Word has come from the Ukraine
that the government of that former
part of Russia will participate in the
conference and it is reported that in
decision of the government Of General
Denikine has given way to a desire to
join the conference. The government
of Crimea already has accepted the
invitation, as has the Russian Boil
sheVlk government. 1t is beginning to
appear that a sufficient number of
other factions will be in evidence to
meet the Bolsheviki and the entente
and American representatives to as
sure the success of the conference
plan. The success of the conference,
however, is believed to depend upon
the Willingness of the Moscow soviet to
give certain guarantees, such as the
cessation of hostilities and the with
drawal of the Bolsheviki forces from
the provinces which they have in

Washington, Feb. 12.-More than
six months in the making, the great
war revenue bill, levying six billion
dollars in taxes this year and four
billion dollars thereafter, today neared
final congressional action. Demo-
cratic and Republica leaders ex-
pressed belief when the senate con-
vened today that the conference re-
port on the measure would be adopted
before adjournment and the bill sent
to the White House to await President
Wilson's return from abroad.
Tho several senators planned to
speak today in opposition to certain
sections of the conference repot, lead
ers predicted the bill would be ap-
proved by an overwhelming vote.

Paris, Feb. 12.-While President
Wilson and the allied premiers and

fecting the plan for the creation of a
society of nations and arranging the
new terms to be imposed upon Ger
many for a renewal of the armistice,
expiring next Monday, other subjects

the conference will spend little time
discussing them, however, and will
pass most of them on to the society of
nations when the latter has been Great

Foremost on this secondary pro-
gram are the recommendation of COM
mittee of International labor legisla-
ton. The commission is one of the
few having an American at its head
and Samuel Gompers, the chairman,
has been pushing work along at a
great rate so that it is expected he will
have report ready for the confer

his departure has been postponed from

721 MILLION BILL
Naval Measure Passed by House
by 2S1 to so Vote.
Goes to Senate for Sanction by
That Body.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The naval
appropriation bill carrying a total of
1921, 100000 for the next fiscal year
and retaining approval of the new
three-year building program of ten
battleships and ten scout cruisers was
sent today to the senate. The measure
was passed by the house late yesterday
by a vote PSI to so. Prompt action
on the bill is expected in the senate
in view of the short time remaining
before the close of the session on
March 4.
The bill as approved by the house
after opponents of the three-year pro-
gram had attempted unsuccessfully to
eliminate that provision. is virtually in
the form in which the naval commit
tee reported it. One amendment only
was added to the building progra m
legislation. that by Representative
Humphreys of Mississippi, providing
that construction under the bill shall
not start before June ]. 1920, instead
of February /, 1920. as originally pro-
vided. By the terms OF a rider the
navy department is prohibited from
using money appropriated in the bill
to buy wireless stations or to pay for
those stations already purchased.

Senate Will Study Plan for
Owning of Homes.
The Aim Is To Have Every
LabOrer Become an Owner.
POINDExTER INTRODUCES BILL
Commission of Six Will Be
Named for Task.
{. s. Will Get Back of the
LabOrer for q Boost.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Senator
Kenyon today introduced a bill pro-
viding for a study and report to con-
gress Il a plan to enable every Amer
lean worker to own his own home.
1t is the second of progressive sem
ators' industrial welfare" bills. The
first was Kenyon's unemployment bill,
creating an emergency board to pro-
vide work when unemployment is
widespread.
Commission Will Study.
The home owners bill, introduced
today, creates a commission of six,
which is directed to study:
l. Existing methods in the United
States, of financing the building and
buying of homes for persons of mod
est means.
2. The effect of these methods in
stimulating or retarding investment of
capital in homes and in controlling the
quality. location and cost of them.
3. Methods followed in other coun-
tries.
Report January 1, f92Og
The commissions report to congress
is to be made by January 1, 1920. and
is to contain recommendations for i'm
provements in present American
methods.
Kenyon's idea is that the govern
ment should extend aid to workers
to the extent of financing them in
much the same way as aid is now CIV
en- farmers under the farm loan act.
Such policy, if inaugurated on a
sound basis and wisely administered
by the government, would erect a bull
wark against Bolshevism and unrest"
said Kenyon. The worker who is
paying for his home has more than a
money interest in his community and
his government. He becomes a SOL
dier citizen and the doctrines of an
archy and Bolsheyism make no ap-
peal to him.
Not a Great Outlay.
1T would not involve huge outlay
of money, inasmuch as the funds ad-
vanced, by whatever means that might
be done, would come back to the gov
ernment. Government money could be
put into no better investment.
Such a policy would be one step
in governmental recognition of the
workers new place in this nation-a
place earned thru patriotic endeavor in
the war;

Those words in the old days would
have closed up every bar in Topeka.
In the later days they would been a
cue to the police to avoid street con-
gestions
But today she is carrying a big stick
with the idea of using it on the city
manager law. She represents Wichita,
Kan, she says. Wichita has the man
ager plan in operation and, according
to Mrs McHenry, the town is sick of
it.
incidentally Myra wishes to have a

Her anti-smoking bill is all right -
Mrs. McHenry admits. But Mrs.
Grinstead doesn't go far enough. She

Paris, Feb. 1.-Two months age
Woodrow Wilson could have been
elected president of France. Today,
Paris would not elect him justice of
tie peace.
Whether the remainder of France
has similarly changed it is impossible
to say, but people returning from the
interior report that his pictures still
fill shop and residence windows and
that his name still evokes the readiest
cheers. This is not so in Paris, where
the open unfriendlineSS of certain
newspapers is echoed in subway, tram
way and hotel corridor conversations
The attitude is usually taken that Will
son is unduly lenient toward Germany
Angry debaters allege he is more con-
ing France.
Not to Wilson Alone.
Resentment in Paris, however, is
rot confined to the president. The
names of Premier Lloyd George and
other noted visitors are beginning tC
be heard whereas, after Wilson's ar
rival scores of prominent names vir-
tually dropped out of circulation
These names are now heard coupled
with Wilson's, charged with virtua
treachery to France. This palpablt
cooling of friendship is worrying many
Americans, but it leaves the British
unruffled. They smile and say they
have been thru it before, and that il
won't last long.
France is "enjoying a war scare
and the emotional luxury of looking
on the black side of things in order tC
enjoy greater delight when it is foun6

Seattle, Feb. 12.-Thirty thousand
shipyard workers were still on strike
in Seattle today in spite of the efforts
of the city's organized labor to bring
about a settlement of shipyard differ

Altho the general strike ended Tues
day at noon, union tailors are still out
of employment until their status is
settled at a meeting of the Master

men went back to their shops yester-
day noon but were told that no work
had been laid out for them.
The Metal Trades council met here
last night and concurred in the strike
conference committees decision to
continue the shipyard strike in spite
of the ending of the general walkout.
Seattle's water front is being run
on the open shop plan in certain sec
