These are some of the pointed re-
marks on the motion picture situation
made by Mrs Eugene Henely of Grin
nell, state chairman of the civics de-
partment of the Federation Of
Women's clubs.
A survey Of the motion picture in
Iowa was made last year under Mrs.
Henely's direction. Her view is very
broad and tolerant, and recognizes
the moving picture as an institution
that has come to stay and can be made
tremendous power for good. She
stated that perfection could not be ex-
pected as yet from so young an in
dustry. She spoke of its possibilities
for use in Americanizing the foreigner,
its wonderful future in the schools as
predicted by Thomas A. Edison, and
its humanitarian mission OF carrying
the life of the world to the lepers on
their lonely island.

LEGAL RED TAPE
HALTS WEDDING
Guy Spiker All Ready TO Marry
Emily Knowles, But lmrni-
grafton official
Prevents.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, Feb. Illegal red
tape today prevented the immediate
marriage of Emily Knowles to Guy
Spiker, brother of the man who is
father of her child.
After Attorney Benjamin Kirch-
stein had arranged all details for the
marriage, Byron H. Uhl, acting COM
missioner of immigration in charge
at Ellis island, where Miss Knowles
is detained, called Ktrchstein before
him and notified the lawyer he must
see to it that the order of the immi-
grafton officials in Washington is car
ried out to the letter.
IThl said that unless Kirchstein
would give his word that mo we'd
ding would take place today between
Guy Spiker and Emily Knowles he
would refuse to release Miss Knowles.
Uhl explained that the Washington
order directed him to turn the Eng
lish girl and her baby son.. Alfred,
over to Mrs. Kate Battersby, Of Fall
River, Mass. Once Miss Knowles is
in Mrs. Bettersby care, Uhl said his
interest in the case ceases and Miss
Knowles may do as she pleases'
during the ninety days allowed by
the department order.
Just before Uhl issued his ultima
tum. Kirchstein had telephoned the
marriage license clerk in New York
asking that the office be kept open
until after Miss Knowles release, so
she and Spiker could obtain license.
The commissioner order changed
these plans.
Wen obey the commissioners re-
quest to the letter" Klrchstein
stated.
Presumably Miss Knowles Will be
sent to Fall River and after she has
been turned over to Mrs. Battersby
tbe marriage will take place-1f Mrs.
Battersby is willing.
The release Of the English girl
whose strange war romance has in
terested the entire nation-was de-
laved by an immigration bureau
ruling preventing the acceptance OF
cash bond. When Kirchstein, accom-.
panied by Mrs. Cora M. Spiker and
Guy Spiker, arrived at Ellis island at
noon they had $1,000 in cash for the
bond. After Uhl explained the de-
partment rule, Guy Spiker returned
to New York to obtain $1,000 Lib
erty bond to post with the immigra'
ton commissioner.

Average Depreciation.

While each taxpayer must deter
mine the probable lifetime Of his
property, without regard TO the fol-
lowing figures, 1t has ben estimated
that the average disable lifetime of a
frame building is twenty-five years;
a brick building, thirty-fiye years; a

fifty to one hundred years. The es-
timated life Of ordinary machinery
Is ten years, that Of automobiles used
for business or farm purposes and

If a taxpayer claims the full amount
OF depreciation, he cannot claim as
a deduction the cost of repairs to
the property during the same year.
If he wishes to claim a deduction on
account of repairs, their cost must
be deducted from the full amount of

SPANISH COMB IS PROMINENT
Decoration May Be of Same Material
as the Hat or OF Contrasting
Fabric.

The Spanish comb Is still used as q
hat garniture. 1t is interesting as an
indication of the continuance of the
Spanish styles which are closely al
lied with the profuse use of lace.
These combs, which are part of the
hats themselves, may be Of the same
material as the hat or of contrasting
fabric. For instance, a brown plush
hat draped somewhat like beret has
a huge comb of brown satin embroid-
cred in coral beads and gilt nail heads,
with a fine pattern done In gold
threads initiating the carving seen on
shell combs. The Spanish comb Is still
prominent as a hair ornament. It is
worn slightly to one side at the back
Of the head, but standing straight up.
Copies of these combs in fabrics are
placed in the hats in the same way
slightly to one side.
Among the more elaborate evening
combs are some of black Lace with
sprays of paradise swaying from the
top A large shell comb may be topped
by q crescent shaped ornament COW
cred with gold cloth and have circles
Of black galalith placed about the edge
of the crescent. With combs of this
sort black and gold Spanish ear rings
are worn.

STYLES REFLECT WORLD WAR
Far and Near East Countries Involved
In Conflict Represented In
Many Garments.

The new season garb of the Ameri-
can maid and matron will be a mixture
borrowed from every other nation IN
der the sun. This fact was made
known with the recent display in New
York of advance fashion models.
While the fad for anything that savors
Of the Orient still holds true in the
style world, the biggest vogue of the
moment seems to be for any fashion
note taken from countries involved In
the world war.
In suits the Russian Cossack outfit Is
prominent. Such model is shown on
Fifth avenue, made OF. leaf brown vel
dyne The lines are close fitting and
very tailored. The jacket is finger
length and finished with the little pep
lum so characteristic of the Russian
army uniform. A high collar mufffes
the throat and deep cuffs of caracul
finish the sleeves. The skirt is12 inches
from the ground and touches the tops
Of high Russian boots of brown calf
skin worn with this outfit. A small
turban of fur completes the costume.
Fashion tips from Turkey seem to be
centered in the evening gowns. One
such model is shown of brocaded me-
tallic cloth Swallowed by net draperies.
The skirt is very culettish, which be-
ing interpreted means that it is puck
cred up the middle very pantaloonish-
Iy, and an immense train of heavy jet
falls from the shoulder and blends
with a huge sash Of copper-colored
tulle The Turkish color scheme is
completed by green pumps, hose and
an ostrich fan.
France is represented by her reyolu-
tionary period The high Robespierre
collar abounds on suits, coats and
dresses. LapeIs of the cut Of that
period are found on most Of the strict
~ tailored suits, and jabots and laces
of the period are found on many suits
and dresses.
The far and near East countries In
volved in the war are SO heavily rep
resented that some trace Of their In
fiuence is found on nearly all gar
ments. Color schemes of Egypt, Chi
ma, or Japan abound in headings and
broeades, metallic laces and en-
broideries The lotus flower, sacred
scarab beetle, white cows and
sphinxes are emb1ems used in decora-
tive motifs. Feathered head dresses
as borrowed from African tribes are
displayed with garish evening gowns.

Black and White Patterns.
A great deal of attention is paid to
every detail in suits, and this model
Is no exception. Buttons and Innings
are selected with the greatest of care
The black and white effect is carried
out In buttons, which are black, with
inset disks of white and of an unusual
oblong shape. The lining of the coat
y is black satin, with insets Of white
satin in the form of triangles, giving
the effect Of a bold patterned black
and white silk.
Several of the exclusive dressmak-
ing establishments are making blouses
of fine white linen, bafiste or organdie
TO accompany their tailored suits
These tuck In at the waistline and
close In the front after the manner of
a sport shirt or a plain shirtwaist
The chief interest in these blouses lies
in their collars, which are of the plait-
ed ruff variety. reminiscent of the days
of Queen Elizabeth. Some take the
form of wide f1uted frills falling from
the top Of a straight tight-ftting col
lar that buttons tightly about the neck.
These ruffs, as well as jabot frills
down the front are usually bound with
black, although occasionally a bright
color such as pink or cherry red is
used Blouses with ruffs are includ-
ed in the costume because of the un-
usual neck finish, which adds consid-
cradle distinction to the tailored suit
The black suit described has white
organdie waist with a plated ruff
bound with black silk. A narrow black
ribbon cravat fastens the collar.
Waistcoats of heavy silks or linens
with sleeves and backs of thin mate
rial, are part of some new three-piece
suits. The vest is long, falling several
inches below the waistline, and has
smart patch pockets. The back por-
ton finishes with a band at the waist
line. A suit of black and white striped
worsted has such waistcoat of white

One of the worst menaces to lit

and tying the hanging front locks back
on each side with ribbon. 1t is rarely

that are tied back are apt to become
