There has not been a great ru sh
of women to reg ster in Covington,
and judging from reports the regis
tration has not been particularly
strong in other parts Of the state,
even New Orleans being somewhat
slow. ....
Corinne Poole McQuaig has the
distinction of beng the first woman
to register in Covington. Mrs. j. {.
Burns and Mrs. A. L. Bear were ap-
pointed deputy registrars at the
Ecourthouse. Mrs. Burns has been on
duty, but Mrs. Bear has been kept
at home by the serious illness of Mr.
Bear. Up to Friday noon there
had been forty registrations.
There has been some talk of The
women putting up candidates for
municipal offices, but this talk mas
mainly been conjecture, as it is not
known that any statement to thai
effect has been officially declared or
that there has been an organization
OF any kind. But it is known that
the women believe that all gambling
and ali violations of law should be
prosecuted, and it is not Improbable
that they will take some acton look
ing to this end 1t is said, however,
that the law will be enforced regard
less OF such action, and that officers
nave been instructed to close all
places v olating the gambling law
There has lDeen considerable coin
plant in this respect, and the opin-
inn, re- ,e,
tive citizens seems to be strongly
against allow .ng gambling of any
kind to gain a foothold.

was an overskirt, accordion plcated.
while the short. tight underskirt was
made of the serge. showing line of

new combination Of colors and design.
Another nice thing about this costume
was that II was accompanied by a
cut and the embroidery running all
around the ample outlines of the wrap
matched exactly the embroidery on
the gown. There was u soft copper
colored faille lining.

EATONIC Users
DO This Get the
. Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Ill.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that Il stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires
little time, for eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when 1t is all removed. the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full Of life and pep.
II you have been taking an eatonic
now and then, be sure and take 1t regu-
larly for time and obtain all Of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

Duvetyn is perhaps the smarter, but
| the material Is not the best wearing
in the world. There Is something
about its depth of color that makes
1t the most sumptuous of all fabrics
and II takes on the lines of the figure
TO perfection. Many really lovely de-
signs have been turned out In wool
jersey for the coming season, and this
material constitutes good back
ground for heavy wooden embroidery.
Serge Is Paris Favorite.
Serge, they say In Paris. is to he as
smart as duvetyn, and, because Of its
wearing qualities. II must always be
the favorite for everyday use. Moth
Ing is lacking in the designs that have
been created In serge. They have
scope and variety. Blue serge is be-
coming to lot of women. though
many wear II when 1t is not becoming.
Silks and satin come into play for
afternoon and evening dresses. and
here, as always. one finds an even
measure of ,ther different materials
used. Especially in these dress-up
fashions the decision becomes mat
ter of taste and personal preference.
There are models In all of them.
The waists on most of the dresses
are long. When they are of one piece
this is the case. and when they are
made Of two materials the joining In
variably is at lowered waistline.
One of the new duvetyn dresses is In
the darkest of dark blues, very rich
and deep In tone. This is made up
with long waist of white satin and
the trimming consists Of narrow bands
of the duvetyn loosely held over the
bodice. The strips reach from the
waistline, and Joining to the neckline
are fastened at both Of these places
and flop loosely between. This is an
effective frock.
Another duvetyn frock was made
with the fashionable apron front.
This IL a piece that IN this case was
cut circular and. being fastened Mt the
high waistline on either hip, fell
gracefully over the entire front OF the
frock. Then there was an underskirt,
straight and short .sand fairly tight.
This was embroidered In lines Of sill
yer thread. and the decoration showed
at the back and In tiny spaces mt the
foot Of the apron IN front The bodice
was cut kimono fashion with three
quarter sleeves and was embroidered
to harmonic with the underskIrt q
Embroidery and Short Sleeves.
A serge dress Imported from Paris
was embroidered in copper threads
about pointed neck. with very short
sleeves. The design Of the embro!d-
cry was rather open, made up OF tri-

This gives the skirt the pinched-at-
the-bottom look which so many design
ers are cllnging to- And It Is not a
bad style If the skirt Is long enough.
One ventures guess that the really
good dressers will never wear their
skirts shorter than II inches above
the floor. though some of the models
now being displayed soar to II inches
or even more. II is the same way in
Paris. Those Parisians who like to
dress In extreme fashions wear their
skirts short, shorter, shortest-but the
really smart people keep theirs at
uniform length according to the pro-
portions OF the figure. This matter Of
proportion has much TO do with the
length of skirts. A tall person can
carry shorter skirt than her four
foot-four sister.
Afternoon Gowns Extremely Simple.
The satin and satin crepe afternoon
gowns are extremely simple as gen.
eral rule. but they are interesting and
really feminine. There Is something
about the softness of satin folds that
makes woman look her best, espe-
cially when the material Is handled
so that II has chance to adapt itself
10 the lines of her figure A dress
In unprecedented satin Is draped in
two ways on the skirt. One side
sweeps from the left waistline down
over the right leg and up to meet Its
starting point. The other side does
the same thing in the opposite direc.
ton. The simple bodice is trimmed
with narrow banding of gray fur
laid about pointed neckline and the
flowing three-quarter length sleeves
are finished with cording Of the ma
terial itself.
Another satin frock in black has

where ,rust-colored chiffon In generous
widths Is Inserted. The chiffon is at

skirt is pulled out at the sides It gives
somewhat the effect Of striped bal |

and lined with the rust-colorcd chiffon.

Christmas Seals.

1t has been agreed between the
National American Red Cross and
the National tuberculosis Associ-
alton that the Christmas Seals sold
by the latter organization shall no
longer bear the name and emblem
of the Red Cross. This is deemed
necessary owing to the confusion in
the public mind as to the exact rela-
ton between the American Red
Cross and the National Tuberculosis
Association in the matter OF the
Christmas Seals, confusion which
seemed to be inevitable so long as
the seals bore the Red Cross en-
blem.
For the purpose of the Christmas
Seal Stamp sale the relationship of
the two organizations is as stated in
the following:
1. There is no official connec-
ton between the campaign of the
National tuberculosis Association
and the American Red Cross.
2. There is to be no use of the
Red Cross emblem by the National
tuberculosis Association.
3. The title American Red
Cross is not to be used on the
tuberculosis seal or stamp.
The statement of this Relationship
at the present time should not be
construed as meaning that the
American Red Cross is less interest
ed in the success of the National
tuberculosis Association than here
tofore. On the contrary, the Amer
lean Red Cross recognizes the in
estimable value of the work OF the
National tuberculosis Association
and thoroughly approves and sin
cerely hopes for the success of its
campaign. Members of Red Gross
Chapters who wish to take part as
individuals in the Christmas Seal
campaign of the tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION have the hearty approval
of the National Organization in so
doing.

Asks Large Appropriation For G.
Sd. Canal.

One of the recommendation made
by Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker in his annual report to Presi-
dent Wilson is the proposal that
100000 be appropriated to
make the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal available for full military and
commercial uses in the future.
The canal was taken over by the
government August 10, 1919, after
a long campaign waged in behalf OF
the move by the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association.
The initiatial appropriation rec
commended by Mr.. Baber is $780,
900, with a continuing contract au-
thorization of $7,500,000. His
final vision is 25-foot deep water
way.
In indorsing the project and seek
ing the appropriation of 100000
900 Secretary Baker declares it
will enable us to make of this canal
most important and valuable addi.
ton to the commercial facilities OF
Philadelphia and Baltimore and the
adjacent country, and useful in
land route for minor naval vessels
of the sort now used in such num-
bers in war"
Secretary Baker inspected the
canal August 8, 1920.
