THE RECORD AGAIN.

Will the Lancaster Herald please
take notice that another Democratic
senator who wabbled on the war has
been defeated for denomination? We
refer to Senator Xii by of Arkansas,
whose war record is very similar to
that of La Toilette, big Bill' Thomp-
son and other politicians who are still
classed as Republicans. No matter
what the result of the November cleo
ton may be, not only the leaders but
the rank and file OF the Democratic
party are giving evidence wherever
they have chance of a desire to
"hew to the line, let the chips fall
where they may" especially with re-
gard to the issues that grew out of
TIE World War.-Bloomingto Record
Our attention is called, friend Bish-
OPP. Now will you oblige by reading
the following news Dispatch
United States Senator William F.
Kirby, OF Arkansas, conceded the
nomination OF Repl esentative Thad
deus II. Caraway in the race for the
Senatorial nomination in the State
Democratic primaries. Senator Kir-
by, characterized by President Will
son as one of the 'wilfuP Senators,
was attacked by his opponent during
the campaign for his opposition to
the National Administration in the
early stages of the war. Senator Kir-
by was one OF the strong supporters
OF the Wilson league of nations, how
! ever"
/ OF course we all know, friend Bish-
op, that many of the president S
opponents in prosecuting the war
were democrats just as he received
aid from Republicans to pass neces-
sary measures. All that is history.
The fact is that the pro-German and
/ the obstructionist was to be found in
every camp. However, it is also re-
corded that President Wilson got the
aid he had to have from the Repub-
! llcans in congress who did what they
did as a matter Of patriotic duty.
Reed, Vardaman, Kirby, McLemore
and other Democrats opposed. About
the same time Cox was upholding the
stand that Americans mustn't travel
on ships carrying contraband mater
ial
All this is history, we say again.
! There were men then who were on
emily obstructionists just as there were
men who failed in having vision as
to American rights outside our bor-
ders
The war proved that when it came
to patriotism men knew no party.
Those who could not see this, who
played politics, were properly chas-
tised. When Wilson endeavored to
make it a party affair by calling for
democratic congress the people
answered in one word. You, Bishop.

really intended as a protection against
cold.
One good feature OF these knitted
clothes for children is that they VIII
launder very satisfaotorlly-and VIII
require no Ironing. There is only the
necessity of washing the wool wear
ables carefully--as one would wash n
knitted sweater or baby's all-wool
undergarments--in water not too hot
and without rubbing or strenuous
wringlng. And the knitted garments
must not be hung UP TO dry lest they
stretch and pull out OF shape. Care
fully washed and dried they will keep
their softness and shapeliness all
through the winter-and longer.
The knitted costumes Tor small
brother and sister come In various
pretty colors: rose pink, French blue,
tan, navy blue and white. The all-
white costumes are especially dainty
and charming, but, OF course, they ure

The little girls costume Is the pret'
tiest. because OF i,s grace and Ia
dainty style. The elbow sleeves have
saucy rosettes az well as the collar

smart in knitted wool stockings,
turned down at the top.
Not quite so sporting but very
quaint and demure Is the knitted dress
on another littlo maid, frock OF
brown worsted with collar and cuffs in
tan, and n cord sash of mixed tan and
brown. This more conventional frock
fastens down the back with buttons
and buttonholes---as a sweater is fas-
tened--and the sleeves though knitted
all in one with the waist, have a trim
iit. There Is graceful pleated skirt
whose achievement might cause con-
siderable mental effort for even the
most expert home-knitter. The full
ness Is made by widening. or casting
on extra stitches. first taking up the
stitches at the edge of the finished
waist section. Then the fuller, skirt

The collar and GUNS arc not pleated
but arc ribbed. This ribblng shows
where the collar Is pulled out fatty;

sections close together
A knitted dress of this sort would
be pretty in rose pink with white col

white trimming. Sage green and white,

DInnic And Scotch IncEnf

There is a bonny Highland kiltie
suggestion about the wool school dress
for girl of ten or thereabout. The
pleated skirt and jaunty jacket Of
plain stuff suggest the kilt and plain
jacket of the Scotch costume, and the
rolled down wooden stockings with
sturdy shoes augment the suggestion.
There is splendid warmth In the un-
derbodice of material matching the
skirt, which Is really a sort of sleeve
less guimpe from which the skirt is
suspended the little Jacket appearing

one piece. the underbodice buttoning

side. The pictured costume has a
skirt and underbodlce OF blue and tan
wool material and Jacket Of plain
blue serge with pipings and buttons of
tan.
MILDLY dresses are perfectly correct
for school wear II q child fancies them
and the mother likes these serviceahle
and picturesque little costumes. But a
MILDLY frock mus be very smart, very
well made and beautifully tailored to
look just right: and a good model costs
about fifteen to twenty dollars, even
for small girl. There are two fav-
ored styles. The blouse and pleated
skirt model and the yoke model. The
former has blouse with cuff-hem
laced at either hip, deep sailor collar
and silk tic and chevron-e embroidered
sleeves. The skirt is knife pleated and
attached TO u guimpe. The other style
is a one piece dress pleated at back

only difference being that the girl has

a batiste and pink sash costume more
adorably cunning than the little taffeta
frock pictured; It's saucy. short tunic
revealing brief pantalets that do not
pretend to cover dimpled knees? That
is always the way OF it--modern fash
ion adopts old styles that represented
dignified or stern or prudish senti-
ments and twists them round into
saucy and coquettish effects. Pan!a-
let's were a feature of prudish early
Victorian days when IL was not con-
sidered quite good taste TO speak of
legs" Ladies were not supposed to
have legs, or at least one must over
look the fact that they had them. All

If she is careful about accessories

This Is not an unlucky whim of
fashions. however; for It is the
juvenile clothes that must be discard

The average shopper Is not an element
o that must be considered In the design

and create togs for little people love
rein. And so new fashions for little
folks are turned out faster than fash
ions for grown-ups-that is. the modes
seem TO change with more kaleido-
