been written Of the Egyptian fashions.
When they were introduced everybody
wondered whether they would meet ap-

very extreme. Only few had the
foresight to recognize their tremen-
dous possibilities, but they had the
backing of number of important
houses.
Simplicity Wins Signal Victory.
Jenny's simple models. with knife
and accordion plated fiounced skirts,
have gained much approval. These
have caught the fancy Of both the
Parisienne and the American. There
is every indication that plated
LOUNGES will be worn for some time
TO come. Flounces, especially when
plated, make dress or suit appear
very youthful This is no doubt the
chief reason why they have become al
most too popular. But after all. every
thing that Is young looking and strik-
ingly becoming Is widely copied. So
we may take our choice as to whether
we shall wear clothes that are pretty
enough to have won perhaps too gen.
eral favor or be exclusive at the ex-
pense of missing much that is appeal
ingly pretty and feminine In dress.
In comparison with the sumptuous-
ness that has prevailed in dress since
the war ended. one views with
Joy the little tailored suits with plait-
ed founces. Jenny makes an ador-
able one with a box jacket held In
slightly at the waistline by narrow
belt ending in an Egyptian ornament.

and simple, full length coat sleeve.
The skirt has shallow yoke and two
sideplaited fiounces.

Wool Embroidery.

In spite of the presence of spring
and the coming Of summer. one sees
wool used In some Of the new trim
ming. Wool embroidery is still popu-
lar. and often an effect can be pro-
duced by using wool embroidery on
cotton that cannot be produced In
any other way. Besides, the colors
have different quality when used in
wool than In cotton or silk. Some
times appliqued figures are used to
produce design. They are stitched
down with coarse stitches usually In
contrasting colors. For instance, a
charming little slip-on blouse worn re-
Gently at Atlantic City was Of white
with appliqued figures Of gray wooden
goods stitched down with red. They
were used on the peplum and on the

the contracts were well under way a
serious power shortage developed.
Only 40 per cent of the necessary pow
err was available and the munitions
companies were forced to arrange
their shops so that they could use the
power in rotation.
This cut down the possible output

eminent Immediately undertook to pro-
vide the additional power needed. Con-
tracts were made with three compa-

and the government agreed to assist in
financing the construction of the new
power plants.
When the armistice came these
plants were not completed, and there
was clause in the contracts where
by the government agreed to use pow
or for certain length of time. In adj
dition, the contracts bound the gov.
eminent to pay Its proportion of the
cost Of the plants on a basis of their
value three years after the signing Of
peace, In settling these power con-
tracts all these factors had to be con-
Nsidered. The technical committee
solved the problems In manner
which was considered fair to all con-
cerned
Rabbit Meat Problem.
In contrast to the power contracts
was the settlement of the rabbit-meat
claims. These arose from an excess
of patriotism and were not covered by
contracts. When food conservation
was being advertised as generally nee
essary, public-splrited citizen Of
Hutchinson, Kan. received lnforma-
ton that the war department would
be glad to obtain a supply Of rabbit
meat for the men in training CAMPS.
History does not state just where the
Hutchinson man obtained this infor-
nation. but he made all speed for this
city and here obtained the financial
backing he needed.
shortly afterward there began
wholesale slaughter, of rabbits in the
vicinity of Hutchinson. Kan. Three
carloads Of ammunition arrived there
and was distributed to all those who
agreed to procure rabbits. A packing
plant was erected, and there ensued
q perfect deluge Of rabbits of all kinds,
from the domestlcated Belgian hares
to the fleet-footed jackrabbits Of the
western prairies.
As 5000 as carload Of cold-stor-
age rabbit meat was ready 1t was
shipped to nearby training camp.
To the dismay Of the rabbit man, the
quartermaster refused to accept 1t,
holding that ut was not an article of
ISSUE" as government regulations have
1t. 1t then developed that the war de-
partment could not use the rabbit meat
and the carload was shipped to this
city. The markets here refused to
absorb 1t, and in despair 1t was
shipped to England, the impression
being that the British were quite hun
cry enough by that time to relish Kan
sas rabbit. However, fate interviewed,
the ship was set on fire by shells from
German U-boat and the rabbit meat
was entirely destroyed.

French Dressmakers Give Nov

WEIRD and FANTASTIC LOOK
Some Dresses Display Marked Eceen-

Gained Approval.

Although styles at the present time
are of such extremely diverse types,
observes a leading fashion writer, sew
eral of the French dressmakers have
attracted attention through definite
notes which give both novelty and
cachet to their models. Cheruit with
her loops has scored success; Made
leine ct Madeleine with their sashes
and bloused bodices and Jenny with
her plaits.
At first II was impossible to say
10 what extent the loop draperies would
be accepted. Owing to their some
what fanciful character and the as
sembling Of two and three colors In
one dress, they were inappropriate for
street wear. They have, however. been
adopted for indoor and evening
clothes. and in these they have proved
more successful than was expected.
While giving round silhouette to
the skirt. these draperies do not take
away the slenderness of line. They
are in no wise related to the hip ex-

they are bouffant, light and airy look

 The brief, and outwardly harmoni- ous session of the convention today convinced almost everybody that the big scene is not yet ready. A good deal of preliminary stage managing and rehearsing is going on Gin back" and it is obvious that the majority of delegates do not know their lines.
 In such tame opening as is ex- pected only when the nomination is cut and dried, there was today not a single demonstration for any candi- date-not an evidence of compelling sentiment for any one of them. Obvi- ously everybody was waiting to see what the other fellow could show, waiting for band wagon.
 There is an element which wants neither Lowden, Johnson nor Wood, and their hope is that their ballots will show that none of the big three can get a commanding majority.
 The plan is to have all nominating speeches delivered at the Thursday session even if the convention has to sit through the night and take the first ballot. Then the real contest would come on Friday.

 Whether the convention floor is in turn to repeat the history of the floor of the senate with the contest ants carrying their fight into the open as they did at Washington, re- mains a question of speculation and some concern among the party's titu- lar leaders.
 Neither the irreconcilables nor the mild reservationists were ready to- night to take the middle ground plank fashioned by the pre-convention plat form builders and each element was prepared to present a draft of it's own.
 Failure to get an agreement so far was declared on both sides, however, to be no barometer so far as the final outcome was concerned. It was said that the senators taking leading parts had become by long experience so way of the dangers of binding argu- ments on the subject that they pre- ferred to retain some liberty of action until the resolutions committee was ready to act.
 On the side of the irreconciliables, Senator Borah of Idaho, member of the resolutions committee, held off from final acceptance of the middle ground plank and kept in readiness the one prepared by himself and Sen ator Johnson. Representing the mild reservationists in the platform con ferences were Senators Kellogg of Minnesota; Hale of Maine, and Lem root, Wisconsin, although none of the three was on the committee.

RATIFICATION OF
 TREATY WITHOUT RESERVATIONS ASKED
Labor Demands Action From the United States
 Senate

Montreal, June Ratificati tion of vations that would injure the effect iveness of the covenant of the league of nations was demanded of the Uni ted States senate in resolutions pre- scented today by delegates for adop- tion by the American Federation of Labor at it's annual convention here.
 The convention was asked to make "emphatic and earnest protest against the tactics" which have prevented rat ification of the treaty. This was ask ed in resolution presented by dele gates in support of the report of the federation's executive council, which has asserted that Gin addition to la bor's broad interest in the treaty from the viewpoint of American citi- zenship, it has specific and definite interest in the labor section of the treaty."
 The council has pointed out that American labor is deprived of repre- sentation in the international labor bureau, matter of vital importance until the treaty is ratified.
 Among 200 more resolutions also referred to the resolutions committee today was one urging development of friendly, harmonious and cooperative relations with the great bona fide body of organized farmers" The res olution committee probably will make it's report tomorrow
 To wait this report, the convention was adjourned after the auditors re- port had been read and minor business transacted. James Duncan, vice-presi- dent of the federation, presided in the absence of Samuel Gompers, president, who is in Chicago today, to place be- fore the republican platform commit tee labor's demands upon that party.
 The jurisdiction fight between the national committe for organizing iron and steel workers and the Amalga- mated association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers promised today to be- come one of the big issues before the convention. Amalgamated officials announced they would not accept aany compromise and had withdrawn from the national committee.
 The national committee will meet again tomorrow night to take further action toward having the federation condemn the amalgamated and compel it to rejoin the steel organizing move- ment or face suspension.
