USES FOR PLAIDS
May Afford Decoration for Chit
fon and Other Fabrics.
Wool Jersey One of the Most Desir.
able for Plated or Gathered
Sport Skirts.

One of the most interesting de-
ve1opments Of modern design is the
subtlety with which plaids have been
incorporated into it's schemes.
Once upon time plaids were plaids
and No bones were made about it. Con-
sequently the brilliant and startling
woolens were relegated to the chill
dren's wardrobe or to the realm of
sports skirts.
Now plaids have become a motif in
design which may be carried out in
bead or silk embroidery and is as like
" to be used in decoration of chiffon
and other silken fabrics as it is in
the cheerful and childish ginghams
and woolens.
Wool Jersey is one of the most de-
sirable fabrics for the gathered or
plated plaid sport skirt, and 1t is
expected that later the cartridge silk
which was left on the hands of, the
war department at the signing Of the
armistice and which is being dyed and
utilized most successfully for dress
purposes, will come into it's own as
a sports fabric, use to which it is
especially adapted. In this interesting
silk there is an excellent choice of
plaids among the many designs and
plain colors.
With the plaid skirts, whether they
are worn on the golf course or the
street, the solid color blouse or coat
repeating either the most conspicuous
or the most neutral tone of the plaid
is foregone conclusion. With the
suit coat, the trimming accessories,
pocket flaps, scarf collar or revers are
usually of the plaid. BY contrast to
this rule of plain above and plaid be-
low, plaid taffeta blouses Of an ador-
able crispness and smartness have
been provided to add gay touch to
the plain navy blue gabardine suit.
Serge is embroidered in raised lines
in plaided pattern, either in color or
In black, and this decoration is ap-.

One Way to Wash Bedding.

An easy way to wash bed quilts or
comfortables is to take small scrub
brush and pail of suds and scrub
well the most soiled parts. Place the
article over a table to do this. Sec
ond, place article on clothesline and
rinse with the garden hose. Let the
full force of water soak the quilt or

WATCHES
Some coIors You See.

Egyptian designs and Egyptian coll
ors are leaders for spring, and the
dressmakers have gone back to real
Egyptian prints and paintings for their
inspiration, and the celors that seem
to take precedence are chaudron, which
is copper color, a peculiar opaque blue,
citron color and green. Then there Is
a second blue that suggests the tur-
quoise. The green is sometimes CON-
fused with jade, but as a matter OF
fact 1t is lighter and possibly yellower
than the color actually seen In Chinese
jade.

BLOUSE FOR SUMMER
Garments of Dainty Sheer Materials
Promise to Have Decided Vogue
During Season.

Cotton blouses promise to have a
very decided vogue during the COM
ing summer. Manufacturers have
realized the possibilities In the dainty
sheer cottons, and the ones designed
for the coming summer are certainly
by reason of their very attractfyeness
and quite apart from the question of
price-a big recommendation, in itself
strong rivals of silk blouses.
Organizes are shown in conventional
waist length models, and in the over
often being simple blouses that are
slightly gathered into very wide and
loose belts of self fabric, edged with
lace or embroidery.
The blouse that fastens in the CEN
ter back Is the favorite Of the mo-
ment. Many of these blouses are fin
ished at the neck in front with old
fashioned frills, either gathered or
accordion plated, Of white net, or
organdie when the blouse is shown
In color, or vice versa.
Organdfe blouses made especially as
accompaniments of Elton or bolero
Jacket suits are frequently shown with
smart little anticipated peplums OF
self fabric.
The Scotch plaid silk blouse,
brought out earlier in the season, now
has an active and very attractive rival
In the blouse of plaid or checked ging-
ham. Some of these blouses are plain,
but the majority are trimmed with
white organdie or with edgings Of Val
lace. Or a blue and white checked
Bingham blouse may have frills OF
organdie in matching blue. This COM
bination, recently observed, was de-
cidedly effective, and quite unusual.

Advice of Efficiency Eoart.

While the bureau of efficiency does not advise that the activities of the federal government in the foreign trade field be cut down it does recom- mend a more simplfied system of op- eration. II believes that first of all, all resident foreign trade agents of the United States government sta toned abroad should be accredited TO the state department. It also believes that all departments of this govern ment contemplating sending trade in- vestigatOrS or trade agents abroad should first confer with the secretary of commerce in order to avoid any pos sible duplication in any line of foreign trade work.
 It further believes that all sovern- ment agents abroad whose work recu- larIv or incidentally results in the col lection of foreign trade information of any description be requested to send data as collected to the depart ment of commerce, through the de- partment of state. for publication and immediate dissemination by the de- partment of commerce. or for trans mission to other branches of the gov ernment service if that shall be deemed advisable.

 NOW bONE DRY"
NEW FEDERAL ORGANIZATION IS ALREADY BUSY ENFORCING
 PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.
OTHER AGENCIES COOPERATE
Governments Main Task Is to Prevent Trafficking in Liquor and It Also Will Keep After the Moonshiners Problem S.mpified.
By JAMES p. HORNADAY.

NaShington.-On Friday, January 1G, new federal organization began ac- tivities in every state in the union. It Is the organization that Is to enforce the prohibition amendment to the fed erai constitution. On and after the date mentioned 1t is unlawful to manu- fracture or sell beverage that con- tains more than one-half of l per cent of alcohol. Under plans that have been carefully worked out, the federal or ganization created to see that the pro- visions of the amendment, and of the enforcing legislation enacted under it, are observed, will operate in cooper alton with state, county and city au- thoritieS, but the federal organization will be regarded as the strong arm in the work that has been laid out. The bureau of internal revenue, to which 'lie prohibition enforcing organization will be attached has Striven to find men in every state who will help en- force the new regime legislation with out fear or favor. This was not an easy task, according to the bureau of ficialS, because of mems natural preju- dices and the ever prevalent political influences.
 But evidently the bureau of internal revenue believes it Is prepared to see to it that 'he spirit of the prohibition amendment. If not the letter of the en- forcing law, is observed. Speaking in bn i.. connection with the new legislation Is pretty well solved Wartime prohi- bition closed the dStilleries and the breWcrieS and the wine presses, and revealed to the government authorities the whereabouts of all large stocks of liquors held .n this country.
 Governments Problem Simpifed.
 So the government enters on the new era with the manufacture of intoxi- eating beverages already stopped. This means that the problem 0f the govern ment. acting in conjunction with the states, is to deal with the traffic In the supply of intoxicating beverages still available. Under the constitutions al amendment and enforcing legislation there can be no traffic at all in intoxi- eatna beverages after the 10th of the month. Even the export of the pro- hihited iut0Xicants is outlawed
 The internal revenue bureau is well aware of the fact, so the officers of that bureau say that there Is large supply of intoXicants on hand and the men who undertake to enforce the new legislation are aware of the fact. so they say. that attempts 10 traffic in the outlawed beverages will be made so long as the supply lasts. So the first business of the governments new force of detectives, for that Is what they really are Is 10 look out for the Illegal traffic. The provisions of the enforc- ing law with respect to tratliCkinC are very drastic. II was the intent of con greSs evidently to make the transpor- tatiOn of intoXicants well nigh impos- sihle. Under one provision of the law, if an automobile should be used in the Illegal traffic and the use should he detected the government would con fSpofp the runrhiUp
