fred. A charming skirt of rather coarse i elastic jersey has a white background with black stripes set more than an inch apart. It is straight and narrow land worn with a blouse of white cot ton voile over which is an overblouse Iof black satin. There are no sleeves in the overblouse the armholes reach ling to the straight belt, and the neck lis in the shape of a deep U. The make up of the costume is exceedingly simply and indescribably smart. l We are told that it is going to be tthe greatest season for separate skirts that has ever been known. The lure tof the new fabrics is as largely res Iponsible as the increasing number of lWomen taking an interest in sport ling events. The fact, too, that the Skirt may be worn with so many lscarfs and jackets as to make it a really economical garment is another lbig factor. Later in the season wash models are going to be in as great demand as are the fanne1s, serges lsatins, silks and taffetas at present. Some of the costumes in plaid fan tnel are exquisitely designed, but al tways in a manner that the home Idressmaker can reproduce. For in Istance, a model in tan flannel blocked with brown stripes arranged in groups lof four, has the lower edge of the blouse stitched with a deep fold o1 plain tan sports silk.

 While the original is in all-white, one may use tan or gray background and work up the embroidery in colors and variety of stitches. It requires more experience in need1ewdrk for such elaborate effects, however, and it is purely a matter of taste whether

Hints That Save Money

A good substantial shade for porch or veranda is, o11v aimed by using dis carded window blinds. The blinds may either be hung up as blinds with a cord attached to lower edge to fas- ten to banister, or they may be sus- pended 1engthwise. If the latter way is used, scallop the lower edges to make them more attractive-looking. They may be painted any color, and will be- more durable by so doing.
 To keep curtains from blowing out open wind ows, run a slender stick or rod through 'he lower hem as in a window blind. The rod should be wid- CT than the window.
 Some stockings wear out in the toe before they do in the heel. A good way to cut the high cost of living, in the hose line, is to cut off the good toes from stockings that have worn- out heels and sew them over the worn out toes of stockings with good heels- Then cut the worn part from under the new toe.

Use for an old Garnet

Every housekeeper is likely to have pieces of tapestry carpeting with the figures worn off, when the back, per haps, will be smooth and strong. Rip the breadths apart, beat all the dust out, then re-sew to have the seam come on the figured side.
 Tack the carpet down to the floor you wish tn cover, very firm and smooth, with the wrong side up; give it several coats of paint, any color you desire. The first coat should be thin with plenty of "drying''- in it When finished tfe surface will be hard and you will find it less work to care for than an Oil cloth.

John w. Gamble, vice president

reach the half million mark within
the next Is years if present condi-
tions continue to prevaii, in talk OH
"Omaha's Industrial Development"

Mr.. Gamble attributed the rapid
growth of the city to the influence
of the hardy pioneers who first set

Of the greatest food producing Sec
ton and to good railroad facilities.
AS the city grows the section east
of Sixteenth street will become a
great jobbing center, he said, and
Farnam street, from Sixteenth street
west to Twentieth will become a
financial center. The retail district
will also extend west of Sixteenth

clared.

noon was one of the inspirations of

president of the United States by
Mrs. Peter Olson of Minnesota. Mrs.
Gait waived the suggestion with a
smile.
Commenting on the fact that the
convention program contained the

president, Mrs. Olson said:
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait for
president. That isswhat would put
on the program. Others are starting
booms. Why can't we? say this in
all seriousness. 1t is time we did
honor to our living leaders"

Cutting Criticisms Made.
Persons interested in enrolling
members in their political parties are
making rather cutting criticisms.
They think the league will keep
women out of politics. That must
not be. For 90 years we have
waited for political parties to give
US the vote. No state has given it
until the political parties had con-
sented.
Are we going to continue to pc
tition them as we always have done?
If so, what was the use of getting
the vote?

this country is from the inside of

the parties have become the agen-
cies through which powerful things
have been accomplished. 1t Is not
a question of whether it is right for
us. but rather a realization of the
fact. They are powerful"
No Common Body.
"Why have the governors in the
west acted so independently OF the
women voters? We expected that
they would call special sessions im-
mediately after the amendment had
passed. The reason is this: That
the women voters have been a sort
of ladies' auxiliary. There has been
no common body to exert all influ-
ence.
Women must get into the par
ties. Without, we should continue
to be auxiliaries. We have been 90
years urging men tosconhde in the
abilities of women. We've got to
convert them. Prove your capaci-

n. n. Antels Defends Parole

Recommendations.

II. II. Antics, superintendent OF

in a statement made public yester-
day. defends the present system of
paroles, furioughs and pardops, but

tions, which, he says, will correct

of public welfare, with subofficers
in all cities. The proposed parole
board, it is urged, should pass on
each application for parole and each
of the members should be held NOR
ally responsible for men paroled in
his district.
Mr.. Antics criticises failure of
prosecutors and trial judges in many
Nebraska counties to furnish prison
authorities with information effect
ing advisability of paroles. 49,
There should be closer cooper
alton he says. between the power
which prosecutss and those having
parolirg power"
He points out the obvious object in
Nebraska of sentencing men to peni
itentiaries is for reformation "and
a reformed man has no place in
a penitentiary." The parole system
is operating successfully in most
cases, he claims, pointing out that
there have been only three violations
of paroles among the 28 men paroled
since theweifare department took
over parole work in Agust, 1919.
Three-fourths of all the men paroled
from the Nebraska penitentiary have
made good" he declares.
"Co-operation, 'not fault-finding,
is the plan that will result in bet
terment of the present system and
accomplish reform of even 4 greater
percentage OF paroled men," he con-
cludes.
