NOT READY TO JUNK WEAPONS
League Of Nations Decides Disarma-
ment Must Be Gradual,

Geneva.-Disarmame of the world
must be slow and gradual process,
is the decision reached by the league
of nations assembly commission which
has been deliberatiIng on the question
more than three weeks. The opinions
of leading members of the commission
are that neither the political situation
nor public opinion is yet ready for full
realization of that object.
In fact, even beginning the reduc-
ton of ornaments is not considered
possible by the commission at the
present time. Accordingly, the pro-
gram, which will be presented to the
assembly, is to proceed in three stages.
The first involves an agreement be-
tween the powers to make no further
increase in ornaments.
The second will provide for grad
ual reduction on a basis which will
be laid down by the armament COM
mission of the council of the league.
The third will provide for general
and complete disarmament when it
may be found that the situation per-
mits it.

trich. The negligee is of rose bro
caded with satin trimmed at neck
and sleeves with landings Of gray
marabou. A boudoir pillow of rose
satin topped by peacock design en-
broidered in silver gray feathers COM
pletes the costume. Bird pillows are
foible of the hour. Peacocks, plain
garden variety" hens, gorgeous ex-
otic parakeets, or birds sof paradise
are embroidered upon the pillows in
lifelike colors.
Evening gowns bear little tufts of
feathers dyed according to the color
scheme of some feathered creature.
These tufts are PLACID at shoulder, cor
sage, or catch drapery of the skirt.
Fans and head dresses match the
gowns. Tufted feather pieces for the
coiffure are taking the place of gems
and rose garlands that have been used
so long. Aside from depicting bird,
tiny colored feathers are being used
to outline designs of flowers and
fruits.
Feather handbags are helping put
the winged idea across in the realm
of street wear. Tiny curled feathers
over body of stiff fabric are at.
tached to a celluloid or metal top
Sometimes little chenille or silk flow
ers nestle among the overlapping
feathers.
AS for the hat realm. the bird on
the hat" is very much in evidence
Although the feather craze has beer
noted for several seasons, it is only
recently that milliners have been us

BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS
Eastern Penitentiartes Have Teams
That Put Up Good Exhibitions
Of the National Game.

Many prisons and penitentiaries have
baseball teams composed Of inmates,
and the national sport has done much
to revive the health and spirits of
prisoners. These baseball teams are
uniformed and play regular schedule
Of games, but of necessity these games
are always played OH the prison home
grounds.
One Of the best known prison teams
is that of Sing Sing. 1t is known as
the Mutual Welfare league team, and
last season it won more than 95 per
cent of games played with visiting
mines. The prison baseball field has q
splendidly graded surface, and there
are blcachers for spectators. The team
plays Saturday and Sunday after
moons. Visiting teams come from New
Jersey and Connecticut. The prison
team has won from some of the best
semi-professional mines in these states.
The Eastern penitentiary in PhiladeI,
phia has long maintained baseball

Dainty Neck Piece Twisted Around
Bare Throat Adds to Jauntiness
Of the Evening Costume.

The gauzy tulle scarfs, twisted
around the bare throat with evening
gowns. promise to be just as popular
this season as they were last, and
there is no prettier fashion. The airy
tulle scarf is exceedingly becoming.
1t adds bit of extra formality to the
costume. And light as it is, it protects
the bare throat and neck from
draughts. Many Of these tulle scarfs
are observed at the theater and one
sees them also with dinner and dance
frocks. Bright green tulle and deep
blue tulle look we'll with black evening
gowns and give certain dash to the
whole costume. Gray tulle is ex-
quisite with gray frocks and taupe
tulle looks we'll with costume Of
the same shade. Lovely indeed are

frocks.

BIRDS IN FASHION
Feathered Family Used to Embel-
lish Milady's Wardrobe.
Decoration Extends From Dainty Bed.
room Slippers to Chic chapeau
and the Handbag.

The scaly dragons and the finny crea.
lures of the deep that have embel-
lished feminine wardrobes for the
past months have been assailed by
birds. The fashion world, writes
New York correspondent, is oil agog
over the war between the cold bloods
and the warm bloods. The newer
houses say that boa constructors or
cobras have cleaned upon the folds of
raiment quite long enough, and that
the day has come when more deli
cate art should be employed. The
bird and its feathers have been chosen
as the medium for this "more deli
cate art" and feminine wearing ap-
parel, from bedroom slippers to chic
chapeau, is much befeathered.
Neither is it case of birds Of a
feather flock together, for designers
are using everything from the red
ROSTERS tail feathers to the fluffy
down Of swans breast. Little birds
are in position to tattle more than
ever before. They have a better
chance than the mouse in the corner
ever dreamed Of. To summarize the
things of which they may speak as
those having authority. and beginning
with the most lowly. let US mention
shoes and slippers.
The winged sandal that flew across
from Paris last spring has not lasted
But it did give inspiration to the use
of fluffy ostrich tips as pompons, OF
gay colored feathers applied upon rib
bons and leather as straps for shoes
One house is showing pair of tur
quoise blue satin brocaded evening
pumps with huge swirl Of opal-huet
feathers at the toe. The pompon II
caught by n jeweled buckle. Gold OF
silver cloth slippers use feathers Of
purest white or shade dyed to mattel
the hose and gown. Because of tht
wide vogue for dark evening gown:
of taupe or brown, many feather pom
pons are of burnt orange or copper
shades.
For afternoon wear there are slip
pers of dark fabrics and leather
banded Mt the instep with edgings o
little overlapping colored feathers
The same vogue is found in bedroom
mules and slippers. Matching feath
ers are found upon the negligees tina
go with the slippers. Thus, on

Dublin.-The central portion Of Cork
has burned to the ground and other
portions are ablaze. The conflagration
followed an ambush of military at
Pillon's Cross Saturday night in which
four persons were killed and many
wounded.
Three citizens were taken from their
houses and shot dead after the ambush
of the military, then fires were start
ed. There were bomb explosions and
firing also was heard. The populace
is panic stricken.
The municipal buildings, Carnegie
library, and Corn Exchange, which
cover large area, have been con-
sumed by flames, which are so hot at
places that passing tramcars have been
set on fire.

No Radical style Changes.

One Of the outstanding features of
styles developed for winter is the uni
form variability of the garments pro-
duced. No bizarre novelties have been
introduced to make apparel left over
from last season hopelessly out-of-
date. The strong points Of this seasons
styles are the very interesting collec-
ton Of trimming worked out and the
novel and beautiful color and fabric
combinations.

CR0NNA JOINS DEBATE
Senators Split Party Ranks in Stand
on Measure Projected to Lessen
Strain In U. S. Agricultural
Situation.

hington.-Protracted debate has
thus far prevented vote in the senate
on the joint resolution directing re.
vival of the war finance corporation as
i relief measure for farmers. Recess
was taken for few days with an in.
formal understanding that a vote
would be taken during the present
week.
Objection to that section of the res
olution which would direct that the
federal reserve board provide more
liberal credits for farmers marked the
debate. Senator Smoot, Republican Of
Utah, gave notice that he would move
to strike out the section and Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado, said
he would ask for separate vote on 1t.
Considered Slap at Reserve Board.
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, of
Ohio, said he would not help wreck the
federal reserve board, and Senator
Glass, Democrat, Of Virginia, declared
that section Of the resolution was a
direct and unjust criticism Of the
board and not based on facts.
Senator Gronna, Republican, of
North Dakota, in charge Of the resolu-
ton, denied that criticism of the board
was implied.
"The senator from Virginia." he said
to Senator Glass, 'has right to his
own opinion just as have right to
mine."
The offer to postpone action few
days was made by Senator Gronna at
the close of a speech by Senator
Thomas.

Thomas replied that he was Ignorant

Congress, Judge Mack, to a commit
tee Of New York Congress delegates,
at n conference last Tuseday evening
with officials Of the Congress. In the
course Of the three hours Of the con.
ference, various arguments were
thrashed out, both for and against a
session in the near future.
Mr. Schooner, at the head Of the
committee Of delegates, came out very
strongly against the Congress Off
cials who are silent at such a critical
moment in Jewish history. and who
do not give the real representatives
Of American Jewry a chance to be
heard, so that the world NAV be fore
ed into doing something against the
murders and slaughters Of the Jews
Of Eastern Europe.
Comments were made on the indif-
ference Of the Jewish public toward
the Congress, and il was stated that
the Jewish Congress did not have the
means for running its office and COW
ering the expenses Of the delegation
at Paris. II was declared that the Con.
gress Committee itself was response
BILE for this loss Of interest in the
Congress among the Jewish rank and
file, and that as soon as the Congress
began to do good work, all possible
support toward that end would be ae-
corded il.
After lengthy debates, it appeared
that among all those present, there
were none who were opposed to a
speedy convening Of the Jewish Con.
gress The only question was to settle
upon the most fitting date for the ses.
sion. As it was pointed out that a
great Zionist drive will begin next
week, which will keep many workers
busy for a time, the exact date for
the Congress was left to be settled in
the course Of the next two weeks.
