tutionaL Eight points We're raised and
discussed in the argument.
Attorney General McCran's briefgde-
clared that the Eighteenth amendment
was not constitutionally proposed: ::
that the proposal is subject to judicial
review; that congress did not by two
thirds in numbers of both houses af-
firmatively vote for the proposal of
the resolutions: that three-fourths of
the states have not ratified in the con-
stitutional sense.
The brief also declared that the ma
tional prohibition act is not appropri-
ate legislation; that there is no right
in congress to 1egislate outside the
words of the amendment; that the
words beverage purposes" sufficiently
describe the limit within which con-
gress will legislate and that the term

HEALTH AND BEAUTY ARE
 REWARDS FOR SWIMMING

Regular vigorous swimming is the best aid to beauty and health that girls can find" says Y. W. c. A. swimming director of New York City The exercise is easy. requires little strength and therefore does not de- velop large, ugly muscles as some sports do. It sends the blood racing through the body and thus removes blotches on the. skin and other un- slightly effects of a sluggish circula- tion. It soothes the nerves and does away with frownS and discontented looks And sleeplessness a great enemy of good-looks-is unknown to the good swimmer"
 Women and girls are taking an in creased interest in swimming, accord ing to reports of Y. w. c. A. swim ming pools in some of the larger cities. This is the time of all sports but the water sports hold first place. In one Y. w. c. A. pool in New York City during the month of July, 4,016 girls were registered for swimmin g lessons, ,0S4 for dips. Winter figures show average of 1000 monthly.

CONTRASTING PLEATS GIVE
 fir DISTINCTION

Near the tag end of summer ones wardrobe is apt to need a bit of re- furnishing, and an overbiouse is the most practical and the most suitable thing for this season. Of course, you have a number of blouses of this type, and are perhaps at a loss for a new design.
 Do you have a blouse in your collec- tion which is trimmed with box pleats of a contrasting color. If not. here is just the new design you are looking g for. The pleats are really not pleats at all, you know. They are merely se- parate straps which stimulate pleats. The oval neckline depends upon the straps alone to cover the shoulders. Notice the very attractive way of treating the sits and the plain but very smart sleeves.
 This design will look well in dark blue crepe de chine with the straps and the bands around the sleeves in mustard yellow. The buttons are cov- cred with self-material. and the straps are embroidered in light blue silk. How would you like the blouse made of tan tricolette with the straps and sleeve trimming of jade green With this the embroidery should be done in browns and the new rust col ors.
 Pongee, voi1e. satin, sports silk and charmeuse are, materials which will look we'll with this design.

GIRLS FINANCE
 AND OPERATE STORE.

A group of energetic girls attending a Y- w. C. A Industrial Camp in Arkansas last month organized and operated a cooperative store with a working capital of sSo.00, the one dollar shares being bought by any of the girls interested in the scheme. The scheme was directed by the In dustria1 Secretary who thought this good way to give the girls business experience as well as to supply con- veniences to the campers. The store carried in stock all the articles of toilet and dress usually left behind by the feminine camper-anything from a toothbrush to a bathing suit. The organization had officers, board of directors and purchasing agents. Eighty girls subscribed $1.00 each to the scheme. Supplies were purchased in a nearby town. A regulation set of books was kept and slips were made out for each person. During two weeks s160.00 worth of goods were disposed of and q net profit of $40.00 was realized and distributed among the subscribers according to the stock purchased during that period. The director got a return of $2.11 which was imnl edfately invested in much-needed tennis shoes.

NEW "WRINKLES' IN STRAIGHT LINE
 WRAPS FEATURED

With the exception of several nun bers which follow sem1-f1tted red1n- gote lines, the latest models leading department stores have added to their line favor wraps on straight lines.
 The manner in which the wrappy effects are obtained, while adher1ng to the straight silhouette, is the cause of many new wrinkles" One number for instance, in navy blue duvetyn is so cut that the sides, when arms are outstretched, are like full length batwings, which flap for ward with the arms movement (for the sleeves are part of them), and so in a seemingly envelope-fash shion form a sharp side line, even though the wrap is there. Flying squirrel bands edging this arrangement add to its softness and correspond with the col lar.
 The unique armho1e which is not exactly melon shape but wide and oval, gives sufficient fullness to an other model which also has shirrins arranged high across the center back An overcape which is square anc boxy at either side back and front with the fronts swerving toward th' center and taper in order to sfid' through each other by way of fasten ing is a third type.

CIVILIZATION IS
 SAVED CLAIM
 JUBILANT SUFFS

we women are all jubflant over the triumphant of the Woman's Suf- frage Amendment" stated Mrs. H. Willard Fleck. the Fairfield County chairman of the Republican Women. "As soon as the ratification is made sure, work will begin immediately to register the women of this city in order to make them voters" contin- ued Mrs. F1eck. "Our organization is in fine condition to enable the women to engage themselves in active work at once.''
 @Tt seems too good to be true, after so many years of hard work says Mrs. William T. Hincks. chairman of the Democratic Women. "The feeling of triumphant should not be appar- ent, but the spirit should be one of progress toward civilization" contin- ued Mrs. Hincks.
 There will be no public celebrations in this city by local sufragists be- cause, just as Mrs. Hincks has said above, the feeling should not be one of triumph but one of calm, steady and sure progress toward civilization with a square deal for the women of the world.
 Already the National American Suffrage association has declared and emphasized itself ready to meet any attacks which may be made against the amendment. One of the prom inent members of the association said yesterday: "It is expected and hoped that the Secretary of State will pro- claim the amendment at once as rat flied. This would seem to be auto maticaIly inevitable. Even if the amendment is to be the subject of later attacks, the Secretary of States immediate task is the proclamation without the proclamation there is no amendment to attack.

WHAT DO YOU OWE
 THE WORLD

A vast number of people seem to think that God and the world are under great obligations to them. and that the world owes them a living without any return service whatso- ever. -.. .
 Not long ago young woman said that she did not consider that she owed the world anything; she was thrust into it without being consult ed, and that she proposed to get what ever she could out of it. She was going to do this with the least possible eff fort on her part and did not feel un- der the slightest obligation to the past.
 Did you ever think, if you are one of the idle ones, what you really owe the world for the privilege of living in it? Did you ever think that all the civilization of the world have been working for you through all the ages,
 up to the present moment, that you are reaping the harvest of hard-work- ing, sacrificing and suffering sewers who have preceded you? The woman
 who does not feel that she owes a
 tremendous debt to the past is cer-
 tainly not made of the right kind of stuff.
 everything that haS gone De1OFe
 you enters into your life and time.
 Many lives have been lived in solitude
 and misery in order to develop sci ences which are today the beacon lights of the world. Just suppose the woman who made that remark was called upon to produce even a lead pencil, sheet of paper. pair of shoes or suit of clothes There is toil struggle and sacrifice in eyerythine you purchase or enjoy. Wherever you go, tens of thousands have been pre- pairing the way and getting things ready for you. and yet you consider | that you do not owe the world any I thing!
 The idle man or woman is like g l piece of machinery. As soon as it is | idle, rust and decay set in and begin i to destroy its usefulness. Work is the l inexorable law of growth.

Justice Wheeler is believed to be the first Connecticut citizen is awarded only to those who have conspicuously benefited the Italian people in education, philanthropy or in indred ways of peace.

 Dear Sir:
 I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your courteous letter informing me that His Majesty. the King of Italy, has conferred upon me the degree of ''Cavaliere'' of the order of the Crown of Italy.
 I very deeply appreciate this great honor and l beg that you convey to the Office of Foreign Affairs in Rome, and through it to the King, my dis tinguished consideration and gratitude. Whatever have done for my fel- low Americans Of Italian extrac action in Bridgeport and Connecticut has been in reality little, and amply repaid by their generous. friendship. I cannot but feel this distinction to be quite beyond my deserts. As I have come to know better the Italian people, I have learned to respect their charac- ter and especially to love their quail ties of heart.
 They are filling a useful and very necessary place in American life.
 And they so carry themselves that they are making Americans every where better acquainted with Italy and that inevitably means bringing Italy and America closer together in bonds of international concord.
 Every American understands and will ever acknowledge the never to be requited. debt we owe. Italy for her service in the war. Italy sacrificed much but she won unperishab1e glory for herself and she had large share in keeping living upon earth the ideals of humanity.
 May these two great countries go forward together forever allies in peace and in national honor, promot- ing justice and protecting liberty! enclose as requested the blank and will notify you upon my return on September 10th and will there after, at your pleasure, receive, with pride, from your hand the insignia ot | this order.
 With considerations of highest es- | teem,, 1 beg to remain, Very truly yours, GEORGE W. WHEELER.
