T; BLOUSES and smocks, as In
everything else that has been pre-
sented so far for spring, variety
IS most noteworthy feature of the
displays: variety In styles, In mate
rails, in design. 1t is probably due to
the growing demand for exclusive
styles on the part of many people who
have grown eXucting within the last
year or two. They appear to be
willing to pay long prices for some
ching different" Blouse and smock
designers, therefore, are following the
lead of the milliners and excursioning
into all sorts of by-paths that lead a
little way off the main Travelled road.
l,ut there is room for some generaliZ-
Ing in summing up the styles. Blouses
und smocks interest women much ear
ller than suits and coats for spring.
Many of the choicest ones are made at
home, and even when this Is not the
case, the assembling of blouses for
sowing and summer wear begins early
aud takes time.
Short peplum styles and short
sleeves appear over the horizon for
summer wear. There are plenty OF
Russian blouse models and plenty of
long sleeves-the latter greatly varied
The Colorado statesman., 1920-01-31

IN design; there are many overblouse
models, there are collarless and col
Jared models-the former in the una
jority. There are tailored and there
are untrimmed types, but taken alto
gether It may be said that blouses and
smocks were never more beautiful
than they are today.
A handsome smock of georgette
crepe with cape collar is designed
In way to set off very prettily the
abundant embroidery in silk floss that
adorns it. The collar, sleeve and
skirt of the smock are encircled with
this work, which usually Is done In
colors, one like that in the crepe ana
one contrasting. In the smock pic
tured the sleeves are three-quar-
ters length-a safe choice, since
II Is possible to shorten them for mid
summer and novel feature appears
in the narrow velvet ribbon threaded
through eyelets in the embroidery.
For confinng the smock at the
waist line the choice lies between mar
row girdles of the same material MS
the garment or silk cord and tassels
like that shown in the picture, which
seems an appropriate finish for
smock so richly embroidered.

LITTLE CAUSE TO FEAR

In snte of all the talk and activity of those of the East who railing at prohibition, and they are leeon and Ole Hanson, the prohibitionsts need have little to fear that there will be change ol the Constitution the prohibition question It Is not unlikely if the people had it all to do over again knowing what it means, that it would not be possible carry thiry-six States for prohibition But it was done-and with nine States to spare and it would take thrty-six States to take prohibition of the Constitution The chance that-they will do that is very remote. There IS lot of difference between holding thirteen States against prohibition and carrying thiry-six States against it. The tried to hold the thirteen, and succeeded in only three of them. The chances are that majorit yof the States, if the question were put to a vote. would give prohibition majorities It certain at least that the American saloon, as we knew it for half century has gone. never to return.

The Alaska Trip
Washington Newspaper

Washington Newspaper)
 At the meeting of the State Press Association dur ing Institute Week it definitely determined to declare the Alaska trip on. Every newspaper the State is invited to go The trip will last ten .ays to two weeks.
 The plan is good, the idea right. Many of the newspaper men of this State haven't had vacation for years They need relaxation. Most of all they need Ideas
 The ten-day voyage will compel the new ideas. You can't take bunch of editors and corral them together for ten days without each of them corck- screwing every idea out of every other the boat It's the nature of newspaper to talk, and keep talking until he gets every idea the other fellow has.
 One may ignore the scenic and educational value Of the visit to Alaska and still declare there won't be a newspaper man or woman on the press boat who won't come back without having given and received ideas that will be of lasting value to his newspaper and his community. The result will be stronger more efficient newspapers in Washington

NEWS AND PROPAGANDA

Papers throughout Alaska having good deal of sport with the Heron propaganda teegrams that are being sent out from Juneau and the attempt to make 1t appear that The Empire has been giving false information. concerning the First Division. The Empire sometime ago sent out news item, in compliance with its understanding with others pa pers to exchange news saying that there fric- tcn in the Juneau Republican Club. A prominent supporter of Judge Wickersham in Juneau sent out telegram saying that there dssenson and that The Empire simply manufacturing stuff to create friction. Just few days afterward 46 mem- bers withdrew from the Republican Club, proving the truth of The Empires news dispatches.
 Later, Herron's publicity force came to Juneau, and began sending out propaganda. Newspapers na- turally cautious. and when they printed the stuff they usually called their readers attention to the fact that it paid in advance and poli- tca propaganda, and cautioned them to accept it for what it is worth. The Fairbanks News-Miner appended note of the dispatches saying that 1t might be worth much. but worth much 1t the News-Miner which was nothing.

The wisest man in the world knows
only tiny fraction of what there is to

knowledge, painfully acquired and
handed on since our far-off ancestors
came down out of the trees, Is only
faint glimmer in the midst Of the dark
unknown.
Much of the unknown Is unknow-
able; little Of it, the human mind
laboriously takes possession OF as CEN
turtles pass.
Most of US are amazingly ignorant.
We are like the classic example Of
the school children, coming their
books, who couldn't tell what kind OF
wood their desks were made OF.
Actually, we are afraid of seeming
to know too much outside of the trod'
den ways we despise the high
brow"
And at the same time how contemp-
tuous we are likely to be of some one
who seems to be more ignorant than
ourselves.
The man who has stopped learning
is living at a standstill. Make every
