surely color enough in this dress to
satisfy the most futuristic taste.
= This dress follows the lines noted In
some Of the early models which showed
slight change from the vertical
to the slanting lines. thus giving
the figure a somewhat vaselike pro-
portion. 1t Is most interesting to OBJ
serve the prominent manner In which
this type stands out beside the short
balioonlikeA skirts that have the In
dorsement of the best dressmakers
and the equally short. scanty ones
that do not lack authoritativeness.
This season has brought forth moth
ing more charming than the dresses
with big ribbon sashes, the bow of
which stands out In bouffant effect al

credit of introducing the sash and
the low hip girdle as definite and

this measure by the House. It's en-.
actment was urged not only by the
administrative heads, but by COM
mittee Of the National Research Coun-
Gil.
The United States patent Office is q
most valuable institution, and upon
its efficiency depends to a very great
degree the scientific and industrial de-
velopment of the country. There is
no computing the results in money
terms Of the work of this bureau. 1t
is to very large extent self-support-
ing. through the fees that are re-
ceived from inventors, and the gov
ernment could well afford to have
adopted a much more liberal scale
years ago without feeling the drain of
the increased compensation.
The argument for this measure is SO
strong and sound that little doubt may
be felt as to the concurrence Of the
Senate in this bill, the only urgency
in tho matter being that it should be
finally enacted in time for this years

Patent Onoe Pay.

The House yesterday passed Z bill
providing for increases in the salaries
Of employees Of the patent Office and
for number Of workers thsre, and the
hope is that the sepsts will concur IN
this measure in season to permit the
writing Of appropriations for the ns1t
fiscal year on the new scale. For naAy
years the patent Office force has been
inadequate in size and seriously un-
derpaid. ThaSs has heen a constant
loss Of services in consequence Of ths
low scale Of compensation. In truth,
the patent Office has been in large
measure training school for pateat
attorneys, and the "overturn" in that
office has been ono Of the largest In
the government service. Just as soep
as man acquired marked degree Of
e1pertness IN the handling Of patents
in any special line, he was tempted
to leava the federal ranks for private
employment by the offer of much more
money than the United States wa
paying him. The effect has been mn.
fortunate for the government. 1t has
put heavy burden upon the older men
in the service, who have not had the
opportunities for advancement through
private employment. Tho work has
been congested.
1t is gratifying that the need Of q
larger force and a more liberal pay
scale has been finally recognized in the

France Protests Concessions.

The allied supreme council. sitting
in London, has adopted, according to
report. plan for the economic revival
of Europe, which involves first the es-
tablishment of pacific relations be-
tween Russia and the small states on
her borders. and, second, provision for
loan to Germany guaranteed by Ger
man assets in priority to reparations
payments. France has declared un-
willingness to Join unreservedly in
such plan, Ambassador Cambon, at
London, being instructed to sign with
reservations regarding both the pres
sure upon the neighbors Of Russia and
the priority of loan obligations upon
German assets. France 10 definitely
opposed to any form Of recognition Of
the soviet republic Of Russia and is
also opposed to any lessening of Ger
many's ability to pay fully and
promptly the sums required by the
treaty of peace in reparation for war
damages.
1t is upquestionable that the eco
nemie health of all Europe depends
in some measure upon tho revival of
German industry. If that country can
not manufacture for export it cannot
pay its debts. France is in difficult
situation. It is naturally adverse to
aiding its former enemy, and will not
open its markets to German goods un-
less they are absolutely necessary. It
greatly needs the reparation payments,
and its refusal to assent to the estab-
lishnent Of prior lien upon the Ger
man assets is natural. But doubtless
the French economists recognize as
clearly as do ethars that unless Ger
many is financed she cannot pay her
debts. The problem 10 whether it is
not better to lessen the rate Of repara-
tion payments in order to get any
payments at all.
The consideration that is shown to
Germany BY the allied eeuaeil is plain
ly not dictated by softening of spirit
toward that country, but by a shrewd
calculation Of Germany's resources and
capacity to bear her war obligations
burden. Germany will have hard
time finding markets fer her exports
at best. Prejudice against German
goods will prevail for long time, per-
haps permanently in some quarters. A
revival Of industry there, however, is
essential to the ful6llment Of the
treaty provisions, and doubtless France
is now simply maintaining a record of
protest to prevent domestic political
reaction, while fully Feeegnizias the
necessity Of granting concessions to
the former enemy.

will result in a weak nomination. Now
as to the second point.

dispose of the third-term issue. The
