Nicholas Murray Butler, candidate for

against recognition by this country
Of the Soviet government Of Russia.
The letter was IN answer to a telegram
from Judge Parker embodying a qucs-

DR.. Buffers reply said:
Il beg to say that | am absolutely
opposed to the recognition by the gov
eminent of the United States Of the
so called Soviet government of Russia.
Such recognition, if based upon grounds
of possible commercial advantage, would
be to sell American principles for
money.
"The so-callcd Soviet government Of
Russia is a tyranny of a small, we'll
organized minority, which happens to
occupy strategic points in the polit-
ical and economic life of the Russian
people. Their announced principles
which include the exploitation of a
people by class, are abhorrent to
every lover of liberty and to every be-
lever in justice.

Theodore Roosevelt in his message to
the Congress Of the United States, De

nation, whether in America or any

its freedom, its Independence, must Ill
timately realize that the right Of such

ORIGIN OF CITATION CORD
French Tradition Say II Was Con-
ferred for Bravery Under Ex-
ceptionaI Circumstances.

According to French tradition. the
citation cord originated centuries ago
when the soldiers of a certain COM
pany that had mutinied were to be
hanged. Before the sentence could be
carried out. the French were attack ed
and the condemned men were called
on to aid in the defense. They went
into action, so to speak, with halterS
around their necks; but they fought
with such supreme bravery that they
were pardoned, and thereafter each
man was permitted to wear as badge
and heroism, knotted cord round
his shoulder.
The origin Of the citation cord can
be explained in a more logical way if
one examines ancient pictures. whlch
show that shoulder cords can be traced
back to simpler conditions until they
appear merely as metal tipped lureS
to bear the weight of certain pieces
Of armor. Such laces appeared in
pairs on both shoulders; they have
survived in the aigulette of the mod
ern officers dress uniform

became merely marks that dis

First Canned Pineapples.

It was to the discovery of the pos
sibilities of a trade in canned pineap-
pies that the great pine-farming indus
try in the Far East is due. Two Eng

bility of the fruit for canning. Its

in great demand in countries where
1t would not grow out of doors.

ROMAN ROADS NOT PERFECT

Modern opinion, examining the

criticism comes from study of the
construction of the old Roman roads
but from what one knows of the Ro-

ONE DRESS POLICY
Single Garment, Well Made, Gives
-. Much Service.
Housewife In Smaller Towns Better
Pleased With Larger Supply of
inexpensive Gowns.

There are two ways Of dressing in
extensively. One is to have a good
many clothes Of cheap material and
! the other is to have one well-made
all occasions until it is worn out. The
one-dress method is perhaps prefer
able for the woman who lives in a
large city, for the business woman, or
for the traveller. The housewi:9 in a
small town will probably do better if
! she has good many inexpensive
clothes, observes a fashion writer, and
SO will the young girl who mingles in
society where nobody patronizes an
expensive dressmaker and extrava-
gance is not looked on as virtue.
In big city, where an economical
woman is likely to meet and mfngle
with persons who have much more to
spend on their clothes than she has,
the onedress method has many ad-
vantages. In a well-made coat suit q

restaurant and for shopping. If she
possesses a cheap and badly made
street suit in addition to several other
dresses, she will never look very well,
although she may sometimes feel that
a thin silk, no matter how poorly made,
is more appropriate than suit for
card party.
The one frock should be of good ma
terial and should be we'll made. If
one is bought each year, street suit,
consisting of coat and skirt and match
ing waist, can be bought one season.
a dark, inconspicuous evening or for
NAL afternoon frock for the next. The
suit should be chosen so that it will
lo',h we'll the second year and will
look fairly we'll the third; the frock,
remodeled little, will also serve for
two or three years. In few years the
woman who goes on the basis that the
one-dress plan is good one will have
q very serviceable and good-looking
wardrobe on hand.
The coat suit, when it is to answer
many calls, should be of moderately
normal proportions. Unusual waist
lines. sleeves, yoke and collars should
be avoided. The coat should be semi
fitting and the skirt should be neither
tight nor loose Such suit will never
be in the height of fashion, but, pro-
vided it is becoming, it will always be
distinctive and good looking. 1t should
be of some standard dark color-dark
blue, black, or a becoming shade Of
brown are always incOnspicuous. In
two years, when you are due to buy
another suit, the old one will be ready
for knockabout wear, still retaining
style and dignity never possessed by
a cheap suit.
The same rules hold good Of the eve
ming dress, which can only be renewed
every two years. 1t should be Of be-
coming color and cut, should avoid all
extremes and should be of as good ma
terial as you can afford.
The one-dress method requires al
most perfect fit, and If the clothes are
bought ready made and extra payment
Akhaxe them well fitted is an economy.
