THE BIC IDEA.

A slang phrase is often epigram. Looking
~ beneath its apparently careless meaning
less grouping of words find expression Of
clearness conciseness and age-old truth. There IS
the question asked frequently and casually
as 10 seem almost trivial what is the big idea?"
But suppose each OF US asked himself this ques-
ton seriously. searchingly and methodically. Every
life depends for success and usefulness the
ture Of the thought which rules it. The artist, the
writer. the musician, the philanthropist the
chant the college president-each has found
shall find his true place in ife in the nature OF the
idea that dominates it.
Man is cowardly or heroic. worthless useful,
wretched or happy BY this test-what is the
big idea?

WOULD OUTLAW FRENCH
AND ITALIAN IN MENUS
RY Louise Athcrson.

A universal view, is this expressed
by the Detroit News:
In demanding all-American
language on the menu the hotel
stewards at the international asso-
citation convention in Philadelphia
are voicing the silent hope OF a
too long serVile public"
In some hotels and fashionable
dining rooms il had got 10 the point
where you could only tell what was
on the bill Of fare by shifting at the
walters thumb print. Who has nOt
seen the bafGed patron scan his
menu with an air Of Encouragement
and then. casting an eye around un-
Gil he lights on someone already
served, eXclaim. Bring me some
Of that"-knowing only that IL is
som ething edible.
Kitchen French and saucepan
italian should not be necessary 70
a modern education. and no man
wants 20 order his dinner out Of a
dictionary. To the average man
with an appetite the word steak
neatly printed strikes no vulgar note,
and the word potato" undisguised
dcor not offend him. He regards lie
meal chiefly as something 10 cat and
no amount Of pastry lingualism has
ever outdOne the simple charm OF
the phrase, rich brown gravy
Without any particular prejudice
against foreign tongues or foreign
foods there has long been a deep
warming on the part Of Americans
for less snowy language and more
plain vegetables with their meals.
IF the hotel stewards accomplish
their object OF removing French and
italian camoufage from the menus
Of public eating places they viii

clan, the Foundation Of the
Science Of Geometry.

Euclid was an ancient mathemati-
clan, who is said by some TO have
flourished In the third Gentry before
the Christian era. 1t is generally
held that he was Greek, but the date
and place Of his birth are unknown.
1t is generally held that much of his
work was done ut Alexandria, Egypt
which In those ancient times was u
famous seat Of learning and the CEN
ter of extensive commerce. The most
famous work of Euclid that has come
down to us Is the Elements of GeOrn-
etry In 13 books. The first six are the
most valuable. They contain the
foundation of geometry. on which is
based several branches of higher
mathematics. These books are still
used In schools and colleges. The
next three books deal with the prop
critics of numbers but they are super
seded by modern arithmetic. Euclid
also left other forks. such as 'treatises
on harmony and optics.

Efficiency is a matter of the head

Influence Is Maintained.

We prophesied when this style first
appeared that IL would have Il remark
able influence on fashions for long
time to come. While of marked type.
1t was not bizarre in any way. The
delicate thread embroidery was
charming. Along with the black and
White effects We're lovely black EN-
hroideries on stone-coIored cloths.
This has developed into black or white
embroideries on all tones of gray.
Lanvin developed her costumes of
Czecho-Slovak inspiration In the form
of long coat or overdress with
tight underskirt. Some of the cos
tumes even had the loose hanging
trousers of the rustic goat herders.
There were few women who cared to
accept such an extreme movement In
dress. so these were soon replaced by
short. tight skirt falling below a
long tunic. The tunic did not allow
more than q few inches Of the under
skirt TO show. A great deal still is
made of skirts of this type. The peas
ant or chemise type of overdress
girdled at low waistline has passed
through many evolutions.
There is great variety In the en-
broideries from this new republic, as
many diTerent peasant peoples have
been thus brought together A domi-
nant note Is the black and white en-
broideries which may be, according to
the original Moravian dress from
which they are taken, either black on
white or white on black.
We now see the influence Of the pic
turesque dress Of these countries In
both tailored suits and dresses. These
ideas are carried out clearly and def
nitely. so that there is no mistaking
the source from which they come. So
distinctive are they that they would
be completely spoiled II combined with
any other motif. This idea is empha-
sized In colorings as well as en-
broideries Its influence appears In the
use Of bright red as a trimming on
dark suits. Plentiful use Is made. too.
Of the white and black embroiderIes
Of the Moravian and the brilliant red,
white and black geometrical patterns
Of the southern Slavic people.
Craze for Combinations.
A strong feature In the fashions of
the moment which is doubtless an
outcome Of the Czecho-Slovak move
ment. is the craze for combinations Of
black and white. This Is another thing
which goes to prove the far-reaching
effects Of fashion rich In ideas.
Launching such style Is like throw
ing pebble into pond. The circles
widen continually. Each maker Of
clothes gets her individual impression.
81 Very lovely hew dresses for tea
dances are being developed in black
with white embroideries, or In white

Miller protested against the "haste" OF
Mr. Moores in obtaining special inJunc-

Judge Chamberlin stated that he would
not tolerate such speed and the brakes
were put on the efforts of Mr.. Moores
to rush the hearings.
Special stenographers were called
hastily into court to aid in making
copies of the injunction orders.
Typewriters were placed in the court
room and stenographers pounded ire
keys while attorneys Intercepted the
petitioners and while the court was hear

In argument, Woodburn Mason, Dem
