What is it that mainly distinguishes
us from the brute creation That we
walk erect? Some brutes are bipeds.
That we do not STAY one another? We
do. That we build houses? So do
they. On no possible point of super
iority can we prove ourselves save
this, that we can laugh, and that they
with one notable exception, cannot.

group of attractive models in break
fast coats in two-toned satin with
deep flounce and prettily trimmed with
ruching.
The vogue of the velvet gown, the
magic something that makes a gown
at once fashionable and becoming, is
the combination of the modish ma
terial and the style for which the
fabric was designed. Silk chiffon vel
vet, the favorite of the mode with it's
subtle lustre and plant grace, is de-
veloped in the lovely lines of the
Moyen age, flattering to any type Of
figure. A bewitching little afternoon
model has the long, draped, swinging
panels at the sides, giving the final
charming style touch to a wonderfully
effective gown
There is a semi-dress hat, just bit
more festive than the first hat, en-

well dressed.

variety l have not seen in many a
day. Hand blocked and warp prints
are the chief features of the different
collections although there are several
roller prints which are worthy of con-
sideration. Two hand-blocked patterns
that are charming to see, one is an
allover flower and fern design in rich
colors on either brown or black
ground. The other one is printed in
two distinctive designs from blocks
which are many years old, over a
century and a half, in deep, rich Per
sian colorings, one style has the rich
ness of an old Paisley shawl, the other
is worked out in a combination of gray
and red. Hand-blocked printed linens
are beautiful with silk lining of con-
trasting color. There are birds and
flower designs in soft .two-color COM
binnations with the brown back
ground. In four effective patterns
come the light and dark warp print
patterns. The subdued color effects
are produced by printing the design
on the warp and then weaving with
light or dark thread to gain a light
or dark effect and to produce a soft
ness of color which may not be OBJ
tanned in any other manner.
Wool tricotine for milady's frocks

found, interesting manners of neck

tailored style or three-quarter lengths.
Most of the styles are in navy blue,
some in black and few are made in
wool poiret twill. The warehouses

Whilst shadows of old friendships sort

An watch the pitchers in the flames

Want to be where mother is, an rest

l want to be back home agin, home

1 want to be back home agin where
all my fancies run
Want to git up early an say "How.

Throw out my chest an look the
world right squarely in the face
An scatter love on everything around
the old home place;
Want to hear my mothers voice an
see her smile agin,
Where half the sunshine in the world
was somehow crowded in!-
Want to tread old twistin' paths with
smilin' skies above,
An wander off to'ards afterwhiles an
lock my arms with Love.
l want to be back home agin-that's
all that 1 can write,
Seems as if my pen-an' hand-are
tremblin' tonight!
l 'spose might go on an tell how
I've been gettin' on,
How Myra and the children is-an'
others-but, blame-don,
My pen just rambles onward meath

An KNOWN all your hearts so well, !

The single thought between the lines,

1t is said the Apaches had words
for murder, not one for love. A re-
cent analysis of soviet literature is
said to show ten words for destruc-
ton and anly one for construction;
six words for communion, only one
for patriotism.
Bolsevism, according to linguistic
analysis, yields many words meaning
pain, agony, torment, fear, awe, sad
ness, hunger, tears, distress, misery,
imprisonment, adversity, calamity, dis
aster and confiscation.
Bolshevistie writings also yield
many words meaning Bereavement, or
phan, widow, doom, death, grave and
punishment.
We also hnd the following words
abounding in soviet literature: revolt,
masses, classes, seize, destroy, burn,
demolish, blow mp, and finally: ain

HOOVER, ENGINEERS
PRESIDENT, TO OFFER
BlTUMINOUS COAL PLAN

New York:-Herbert Hoover is
about to announce constructive plan
for the better working of the btu
minous coal industry. Upon his in
auguration as president Of the Amer
ican Institute Of Mining and Metal
lurgical Engineers ut their l2lst
meeting on February 18th, Mr.. Hoov-
er and Horace v. Winchell, the retir-
ing president, will present . plan
dealing with practically every prob
lem Of the bituminous situation. This
will be discussed by prominent Govern
ment officials and bituminous coal
operators at the American Institutes
meeting.
Invitations have been isued by the
Institute to every coal mining associa-
tion, every coal operator and every
technical journal to participate in
these conferences at this time. Fol-
lowing each conference, an open forum
will be held for free discussion.
The scope Of the plan presented by
MIR. Hoover comprises the causes Of
intermittency; how and when the ir-
regularities occur; the actual number
Of days worked by each man during
each season Of the year; q possible al
teration in the wage basis; actual
wages received by workers during
each season Of the year; the question
Of storage in all its phases and as to
all possible places for storage, such
as, at the mine, at the industrial
plants, etc.
The following formal papers will
be presented on the Fundamentals OF
the problem, on which it is expected
a satisfactory solution may be based:
Problems Of the Coal Industry, by
Van H. Manning, Director Of the u.
s. Bureau Of Mines; Fluctuation OF
Production Of Coal, by George Otis
Smith, Director Of U. s. Geological
Survey; Storage Of Bituminous Coal
and its possibilities Of Sterilization,
by H. H. Stock, University Of Illinois,
Urbana; Transportation as a Factor
in Irregurality Of Coal Mine Opera
tion, b G. w. Reed; Stabilizing the
Market, by Eugene McAuliffe, presi-
dent Union Colliery Company.
1t is expected that this meeting OF
the Institute will attract the largest
attendance in its hosiery. Topics
under discussion, in addition to the
bituminous coal situation, are mine
taxation and the country's petroleum
supply.
