Of the National Women's Christian
Temperance Union, yesterday adj
dressed approximately 1000 delegates
at the opening session OF the national
convention at Hotel Statler. The con-

be held at the Odeon.
The great movements before the
convention are. according to Miss
Gordon. world prohibition. health and
morality, Americanization, and law
enforcement. She said
we have never failed to affirm
the fact that for many years we have
been in an educational campaign con-
corning the harmfulness OF tobacco.
especially among children and youth.
This campaign we shall continue TO
push persistently. We have the sup
port OF the scientific temperance in

Joy that we note the great world

ment and dare to prophecy world
prohibition by 1925.
THE liquor interests are having a
hard time TO obtain the assistance
OF reputable attorneys. When the
liquor men began casting about for
a man to contest constitutional pro-
hibition in the court they decided
to look for some one OF national
prominence. They laid down on a
table In front of Charles Evans
Hughes a check for S150,000. This
great jurist replied: II would not
champion this cause before the courts
for any sum of money.
Trailing to buy Mr.. Hughes, they
next went to William Howard Taft.
and placed before him signed
check. telling him to fill It IN for
any amount he wanted. He replied:

NEGROES ASK INTERVENTION In
CASE OF SERGEANT EDGAR G,

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People to-
day made public telegram to Sec
rotary of War, Newton d. Baker. ask
ing for Intervention in the case of
Sergeant Edgar G.. Caldwell, who has
been sentenced to death for the al
legged murder OF Kelsie Morrison,
a street car conductor, at Admission,

The telegram reads:
November IA, 1919.
Hon. Newton d. Baker,
Secretary of War.
Washington, DC.
National Association for Advance
ment Of Colored People respectfully
urges that you exercise power at
your command and intervene in the
case Of Sergeant Edgar G. Caldwell
now under sentence of death for
killing Of street car conductor Decem-
Der fifteenth at Admission, Ala. In
view of the fact that Caldwell at the
time was soldier in Regular Army
and was turned over to civil author
tiles and by them condemned to death
we feel that because of his race It
was impossible for him to secure
fair trial in that State. Our further
contention is that Caldwell should
have been tried by regular Court
Martial since he was a soldier. Cald.

that intervention be made in his
behalf Immediately.

 One of the latest sweater sets for a young girl is pictured here today. The sweater is a slip-on jumper model with fringed lower edge, and covered but tons to form the fastening under the arms. Completing this sweater set is an effective brim tam, which, like the sweater, is of silk floss; the sweater is knitted, the hat is crocheted.
 The separate sport skirt illustrated is one of the simplest, yet one of the smartest, models of the season. The plain straight skirt with belt finish and unique pockets is made of a rough summer silk in a delightful shade of green. The blouse is of georgette, fringe trimmed. It's flat collar is finish ed with a tie of the blouse material, blouse of the ever-acceptable cream white.

The model has a straight gath cred skirt and a bib-like section on the front and back of the bodice that is particularly desirable for slim, youth full figures. Ribbon, which Is a smart fashion feature of the moment, is in troduced as the girdle that finishes in sash loops and ends at the center back. Here is a dress for now and for all summer, cool, graceful, pleasing in color and decidedly practical, because it can be cleaned.
 For spring sports the sweater with the scarf collar is one of the newest models presented. The one illustrated on the seated figure is in a lovely rose pink and is finished with a belt that wraps around the waist. Worn with this sweater is a smart white skirt of cotton skirting and a rough straw sailor in shiny black, which is fash ions dictate for such a sport outfit

costume they possess, but do not if you are a woman take this as a hard ship; it may be a blessing in dis guise, for black hats that can be worn with all colors of costumes are really the most becoming hats the average woman can wear.
 This does not mean that you must of necessity wear a black veil, for blue or taupe or brown are excellent veil colors for black hats. And these colors in wells have much to do with the attractveness of questionable complexions and eyes that through ill ness or maturity have lost their bril- liancy or their deep, rich color.
 It often happens that a woman lacking in judgment will wear a color that she personally likes irrespective of how well the color likes her or it's effect upon those with whom she comes in contact.
 No clever woman will wear a color or Colors that obviously offend all ob- servers.
 Some colors worn by some women sometimes are as objectionable to the defenseless public as red rag to a bull
 Personally I have seen women select colors which made me feel so dis agreeable toward them that I wished I might jail them for the offense.
 I am sure many of my readers have experienced similar emotions and not being able to analyze the situation have simply decided that they did not like the women. But in reality what they did not like was her bad color sense, her lack of judgment in the choosing of her apparel or her utter disregard for other persons feeling.
 And this disregard nine cases out of ten is a matter of ignorance rather than selishncss or disinterest
 Color is or should be a vitallv ab- sorbing subject from the standpoint of the years it "tacks on" or takes off" our ages. No young woman desires to look old and no old woman wants to be considered old; neither does the mature woman want to be considered siddy; yet color can do all these ob- jectionable things, though when right ly used it can keep the young woman young, help the old woman conceal her age and yet retain the dignity that brings homage and unstinted adnaira- tion

 If your face f1ushes unreasonably in warm weather, you must be par ticularly careful of the colors selected for your summer wardrobe. And the same is true if you anticipate the op- portunity of a heavy sunburn or the taking on of the native American, the red mans, complexion.

Timely Fashion Hints

NEVER have negligees been more lovely or in so bewildering variety. Models batik decorated are much in evidence, but not to the exclusion of the more conventional delicately colored ones of chiffon, satin and lace.
 In lingerie, sea green, rose orchid and yellow vie with the established flesh color and pink for popular ac- ceptance, and many lovely pieces and sets in black are being shown and bought.
 Ribbon in exquisite Colorings and in effective color combinations and smartest and lovoliest of dressy frOcks.
 A new separate skirt model is open down the side or back, and is identified as the coat skirt. Duplicates of this idea arc principally in serge.
 Short, boxlike jackets of velvet or satin extending to the tip of the hip and fastened with one button at the neck are seen in combination with skirts of white serge or of white satin.
 Capes and dolman wraps are to be seen in wide range of materials and lines. One very swagger cape is i'll vest effect with long shawl collar, a succession of four cape sections mounted one over the other and so hung on the vest or waistcoat foun- dation as to reveal a broad eXpanse of the waistcoat. This model is in black satin.
 Separate sport skirts are or tweed and of velours and are in brilliant colors.
 Vests of colorful cretonne are an interesting and appealing feature of many spring suits of tricotine and French serge
 Spring coats, developed with long or moyen age waist lines, are youth full models that will delight the slim, trim woman who is desirous of looking as youthful as is consistent with good taste.
New Britain herald., 1919-10-07

Separate coats on dolman lines are frequently cut with yoke effect and sleeves cut as one piece These are practical models, as because of these particular lines the garments do not require alterations.
 Black satin, black net and black lace and georgette are made up separately and in combination of two or more of these materials into the dressiest of our evening and afternoon frocks, and most of these black gowns and frocks are richly trimmed with jet, beads and rich metal thread embroidery.
 Many of the more elaborate coat suits are beautifully embroidered.
 An exquisite set of lingerie designed for bride, but duplicated rather gen. erously, is of white wash satin, trim med with heavy machine stitching in band outline and finished with black ribbon velvet.
 A profusion of beaded bags are seen in a pleasing variety of shapes and colorings.
 Vestees and waistcoats of colorful brocades of ribbon and of metal cloth are to be worn with new spring suits especially with those being open at the front to permit of pleasing view of the vest.
 Large Colonial buckles made of jet. cut steel and in beads in matching color are seen on the new assortments of pumps for spring wear.
 French serge, etamine, gabardine and tricotine are materials found in some of the best ready-to.wear suits Many suits on tailored lines have the edges bound with silk braid.
 Figured and in many cases decidedly colorful Things prevail in most of the spring suits and wraps.
 Jackets of solid color with skirts of large check or plaid are suit flea. ture of interest introduced by Bernard, and especially desirable for young girls and youthful women.

THE men and women who sell women's apparel with one accord will agree that color is the most inn portant detail of their work. They know that it is the color of gar ment, hat or an accessory that first attracts the attention of the GUS toner.
 This does not mean that the color must be vivid, brilliant or unusual, but it must be harmonious and pleas ing.
 There may be readers who will question this statement as they re- call, to mind having seen in shop dis plays colors that are far from con- servative, much less pleasing. And vet I can qualify my statement. You will find extreme colors in each sea sons display of wearing apparel, and it is usually placed there for the very reason I have given, to attract the interest of the customer. This does not mean, however, that the bril- Hantly colorful article of apparel is what the customer finally buys.
 If you question this matter of color attraction, just reason it out with yourself, and you need not go further than the red and green lights on your safety-first signals.
 Color undoubtedly has an instan- taneous effect upon the mind, for you know sight travels quicker than sound.
 Color registers a thought in the human mind more quickly than can any other material means. And this, I think, iustifies the assertion that color is the most important thing in the apparel that women choose and wear.
 To be correctly dressed a woman should be a symphony of color or ot shades, for it is true that many women are best dressed when their en- tire costume is all of one coloring. There are women who do not require and others who cannot afford to have a high light in their costume. And ,ov high light I mean that brilliant spot of color without which some womens appearance lacks interest \ and without which they pass as drat and uninteresting human clothes racks.
 Yet the frail and colorless woman the gray and the drab woman as ire quently makes the mistake of dress ing in too brilliant a color or colors believing that the brilliancy of thei apparel will add brilliancy to thei1 natural coloring, when in reality theil .a colorful apparel only increases th' e drabness of their natural coloring. t It is not alone necessary that tht color of your costume be right, bu the hat, gloves. veil, shoes and ever jewelry must harmonize pleasingly. l is not possible for all women to hav' hats matching in color every stree

New Issue Has Special Appeal
to All Investors,
Says Expert.

Capitalists, as well as the small In

ager for the Twelfth District, today
IN calling attention to the strong APP
peal the Victory notes make to invest
ors strictly from an investment stand
point. He continued:
1T has, of course, been source Of
disappointment to subscribers for pre-
yious Liberty Loan issues that these
Issues have gone, even temporarily, to
8 discount Of FIVE or six points in the
market.
while this does not represent a real
loss to those who have held their bonds
for investment, it is reassuring to sub
scribers for Victory notes that no sue
discount is possible In the case Of IN
present issue.
"DIscount impossible"
"a decline of the Victory Loan notes
OF only one point, to SO for example,
would put them on an interest return

the prospect OF continued large issues,
no Liberty Bonds have ever declined to
