Dress
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE

Every once in while the designers
say to the public: Suppose we all
agree to wear white in winter and
ignoer tradition"
A part of the public answers in the
affirmative with eagerness. This is
the segment of society which is on
the lookout for whatever is new. to
whom adventure in dress is the breath
of costumery.
It would be difficult for a member
of the conservative set to foist white
costume on the risidents of a small
town when the snow is thick on the
ground and the sleet whistles through
the trees. Her friends would beg her
to go home and acquire sanity along
with a fur coat.
But in the whirling centers where
women delight in trying out the un
usual in costumery, the all white
gown and hat is seen and liked. Fol-
winter sports this absence of color is
on the increase, for Saint Moritz in
the Swiss Alps exploits fashions that
are followed in a mountain resort in
America and not fashionable resort
at that.
In fashionable life, when one dances
and dine at such resorts as Palm
Beach and Coronado Beach, the pres
ence of white costumes is good and
it is here, in gentle climates, that the
idea will be pushed to its furthermost
White serge does not promise to come
back, but white duvetyn and broad
cloth, crepe de chine and satin will
have a shining place.
It is not possible for the dress
makers to argue for this winter usage
of white, however, without it's having
an effect on the city costumery. No
one has the courage to go down Main
street in a white duvetyn frock half
covered with a white coat or cape OF
Angora, but both fabrics are lncor'
porated in dark gown and hat.
| Ermine is substituted for Angora
when the purse permits. A fabric like
black velvet, blue duvetine, Havana
brown velveteen is chosen as back
ground for the splashes of white. The
result is entirely out of common
place. The gown looks different from
what has preceded and is not in the
| first hundred thousand.

Friends Oppose
Cruise of Fleet

Burlington, N. J.-Declaring the pro.
posed plan of Secretary Daniels to
send the American feet on cruise
around the world next spring would
provoke the anger of nations already
viewing with suspicion the heavy
ornaments of the United States, mem
bers of the Society Of Friends of Bur.
lington and Bucks counties in their
quarterly meeting here voiced what
they propose to make nationwide
protest against the sailing of the war
ships.
The meeting, which was attended by
many prominent Friends from South
Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania in.
structed a committee to draw up min
utes protesting against the continued
blockade of Russian ports and appeal
ing to the Federal Government for
amnesty of political prisoners in the
United States.
William Allen, of California, au
thor, recently returned from an ex
tended tour in welfare work, said he
had found the sentiment against the
United States changing from one OF
friendship to an alarming degree OF
animosity. He said the proposed ex'
hibition of American naval strength
would be especially unfortunate at this
time and would be accepted by many
nations as a challenge.

Steel Trade NearS
Uniform Prices for
the First Time in
Twelve Months

For the first time in practically
twelve months the iron and steel
markets present something approach
ing a condition of price uniformity.
The official pronouncement against
any ADVANCES by the steel corporation
a week ago has done more to clear up
the ambiguous price situation long
existing than any single development
in many months. The week has been
fairly replete with reduction of prices
in finished steel by independent pro-
ducers. With some exceptions, pre-
ferably amoung eastern mills, there
has been a general adoption Of the
steel corporation prices, 2.65c Pitts
burg on plates, 2.45c on structural
shapes and 2.35c on bars. At least
two independent makers are down to
the 3.25c minimum on plain wire.
Certain mills are quoting TIE lowest
level of 81 per base box in tinplate.
In regard to sheet prices. Mahoning
Valley interest has reduced SIS per ton,
but still is $40 per ton above the
schedule of the American Sheet and
Tinplate Co. Rivets have been re-
duced SIS, and the reinforcing bars
substantially as much; nuts and bolts
are down. One outstanding feature of
the widespread price readjustment is
that Independent mills in at least one
line of cold-finished bars have drop
ped below the Steel Corporation level.
In, this material the reduction is $14
ton to $500 Pittsburg, or So per ton
less than the quotation of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Co.. Obviously
no single week has developed a more
precipitate drop in the composite mar
ket average of fifteen leading products
worked out by the Iron Trade Review
The figure this week is $5645, COM
pared with $61.37 LIST week, $63.75 in
November, $6S.S6 in September, $500
in December, 1919, and $23.37 in De.

Fox Squirrels Live
in Nests

In the South, instead of living in the
hollow trees, the fox squirrels build
big nests in the tops of the pine and
other trees, usually of Spanish moss.
In these they sleep, also carrying to
them the pine cones. In the hardwood
forests of the North dry leaves take
the place of the Spanish moss and a

WOULD FORM COVENANT
LEADING TO Federation
DR.. Aurelia Reinhardt Discusses
League and Treaty From the
Educational Standpoint.

FORMATION or covenant leading to
the federation of coordinate nations
was advocated as the logical step"
IN the democratic evolution Of the
United States by DIR. Aurelia Rein
hardt, president of Mills College. of
oakland, Calf. speaking before a
meeting of Washington woman mem
bers of the Mills College Alumni at
the home of Mrs. H. c. Perkins, 1901
connecticut avenue, yesterday after
noon.
In part she said:
Il am speaking on the treaty and
league from the standpoint of a cit
izen interested in it's educational as
poets and to me it seems that the
forming of this covenant. that the
establishing of a federation of co-or-
dinate nations, is the logical step in
the democratic evolution of this coun-
try. From town meeting, to county,
municipal and state government to
| national government, we now come to
an organization which shall stabilize
international relations political,
economic and industrial--as well as
the scores of other relationships
which already have an international
aspect.
Before the war in the city of Brus-
sells existed over two hundred head
quarters of international organiza-
lions. Why should we encourage and
believe in international organizations
for scientific research, art. education,
etc, and overlook the fundamental
necessity of an understanding between
nations through the avenues of their
governments?
"A covenant between nations Will
mean a better understanding between
peoples; it will mean progress In the
standard of living everywhere; II VIII
stabilize business; it is logical, patrl-
otto Americanism."
