TN THE pursuit OF happiness women
= have been going earnestly and in
| duStriouSly in quest of new suits
for what is Easter without the ,inspira-
ton Of new and gladstone apparel?
The quest has reached the acute stage
during the present week and mer-
chants know what style ideas have
proved most successful. To begin
with the longer skirt is finally and
emphatically approved by fash&onables
skirts are longer by many inches,
the rule being eight or even six inches
from the floor. Also they are plain.
POiret twill, tricotine and serge are
all well represented in suits and dec
orative features appear ON coats,
which are made in at least three dis
tinct styles, including the box coat,
the straight line beted coat and the
semi-fitted models.
In the matter of decorations, braidS
may come and beads may go hut em-
hrOideries go on forever, apparently.
A few models reveal beaded decOra-
tionS, many are trimmed with fiat
braidS or ribbon, but still greater
numbers are either embroidered or
finished off with stitching of heavy
silk thread At least nine times out
Of ten these decorations are in the
same color as the suit, but there are
exceptions to all rules, and the new
suits present models with a contrast
ing color or black used with the match
ing color. There are occasional models
in which short coats are deliberately
embroidered with many coiors.
Two representative suits, each en-
bellished with embroidery, are shown
in the picture above. The model at
the left having points that pronounce
it up to date, in the fastening of the
coat at the waist line only, and in the
bell sleeves. Blouses and handsome
neckwear are much in evidence in
coats of this kind. The skirt may be
taken as a criterion in length and
width, and every other particular, in
Guiding tailoring that must be de-
scribed as exquisite.
In the suit of beige colored poiret
twill at the right, the straight-line
coat invites attention to elaborate en-
broidery across the back. Small en-
broidered motifs at each side the front
also help to enrich it.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

The wisest men fail to remember that it is easier to leave thing unsaid than it is to try and unsay it.
 Anyway, the man who gets married on Friday, the 18th, always knows where to place the blame for his trou- bles.
 One of the surest things we knew is that even q homely girl is just as pretty as she can be.
 There are two sides to every argu- ment--your side and the wrong side.
 You can talk about your rent prof iteers. but the man who marries prop erty pays the most exorbitant rent
 Before you become engaged to sum mer girl it is just as we'll to remember that you'll have to support her in win ter.
 The reason a male boob falls in love with girls naturally curly hair Is be- cause she spent 12 hours getting it to curl that way.
 When some men know their duty they try to slave it off by going to law yer and asking for advice in the mat ter.
 Many a poor dub who hasn't any backbone gets wife who seems to be all jawbone.
 If you want sunshine in your home, it might be good idea to start in by washing the windows.

 "Rotarian Turner fell in love with our city during the district conference here, and was particularly enthusias- tic over Miss Ethel Gillen and Dolly Dalrymple of The Age Herald, whom he styled respectively the best news paper woman and the cleverest in- terviewer he had ever met.
 In letter from him a few days ago he stated that the Tampa Tribune was so impressed with the Dolly Dalrymple interview carried by The Age Herald during the conference that they had reproduced it in full, including the cut of himself"

Waterway Interests
 Are Making Progress

C7EHE annual meeting of the Missis- / U sippi Valley association at New Orleans served to emphasize and ad- vance the cause of the inland water ways of the country and the ports which are the gateways of the great basin represented by the association.
 The 1000 delegates from all the valley states attending the conven- tion saw with their own eyes the wonders that had been accomplished in port development at New Orleans through state aid and went back to their homes with new vision of what can be done by the united efforts of the people of a commonwealth.
 The resolutions adopted were sound. The government is asked to com plete the job at Muscle Shoals, to create nine-foot channel connecting the Gulf of Mexico with the Illi- nois river (which would mean water way navigation from Chicago to New Orleans) and to make inland water way development permanent policy supported by adequate appropriations.
 The gulf ports are. entitled to the congratulations extended them for their valiant and successful strug- gles for development of their facili ties" New Orleans has been the conspicuous leader in this develop ment.
 The Mississippi Valley association represents numbers that are invinci- ble if they but stick together and press their demands. It is obtaining greater recognition every year and Congress is fully aware of the power behind it.

JAZZ IN THE SOUTH SEAS

The others gave. way to her, and in moment she was dancing alone. proud ly, with sort of wistful abandon, as though she were remembering her teeth of time. Kaupia sang as she played, to an air which had but four changes in it. The verse was but five words long and reepated endlessiy.
 Tu fra to potta n,
 Tu fra to potta mi.
 Both the words and the air had familiar sound. They called to mind shadowy picture of three tall, thin women in spangled skirts, all of them beating tambourines in unison, and dancing in front of painted screen. I couldn't account for that strange vision at first, although I knew that it had something to do with very early childhood. It glimmered faintly. far in like a colored newspaper supplement, lying in murky water at the end of a pier. Suddenly it rose into focus. drawn to the surface by the buoyant splendor of name-the Cherry Sis ters.

migration is one of the greatest prob lems the country has to face, not be- cause of any bearing it may have on our industrial life, but because of something deeper and far more vital to the nation. The Kind of immi- grants MT. Roberts describes are the same class which the immigration bill just passed is designed to keep out of America. These people from eastern and southeastern Europe have but one thought-to reach America, by fair means or foul. The sale of bogus passports, birth certificates and all kinds of false documents is brisk, MT. Roberts says, because the would-be immigrants are so eager to get away that even a few days delay is intol- erable. Unpeakably filthy, vermi- nous and disease-ridden, they are menace in a physical sense and po- litically many of them are saturated with bolshevism.
 It is all very we'll for America to share her blessings and her opportu- mites with the people of the earth who knock at our doors for admit tance when they are worthy, but com- mon sense and self-preservation de- mand that America cease to be dumping ground" for undesirable aliens. It would be preposterous fol- Iy to continue in a course which would eventually undermine the foun- dations of our government and lower our racial standard.

Robinson With Shades of
 Barnum and Forepauph

1T OHN F. ROBINSON, the circus O man, who died at the age of 77 years, was born lon the road" at Lin den, Ala, under the shadow of his fathers small wagon show. At IS months he was a juvenile performer under the canvas and at IS years with his fathers help he was a circus owner.
 Robinson was the first circus man to change from the wagon train to transportation by rail. He ranks with P. T. Barnum and Adam Forepaugh as creator of the large modern cir GUS that fills it's tents with tens of thousands.
 Like all successful circus men, Rob- inson had first-rate business acumen. He retired with handsome fortune HAiH iiNCoicu IL III Otilef eHteTpGlSeS, being at the time of his death di- restor and large owner of stock of the United States Playing Card cor poration, and the United States Lith ographing company of Cincinnati.
 Barnum, Forepaugh and Robinson are cherished names in the annals of American history, for none gave more pleasure to the masses during their day than this great trio. With pie ture shows in practically every hamlet and theatres of all prices and descrip- tions in abundance; with baseball leagues, park playgrounds and ath letic fields, the masses have amuse ment at their elbow day and night, winter and summer.
 When Forepaugh, Robinson and Barnum were kings, the circus was an annual event looked forward to for months. Nor should it be forgotten that the circus has always been clean.

Like It Mns in 1NIa

This year has been precisely like 1919 from an industrial standpoint said J. 1. McCants, president of the standard Fuel and Material company. Along about this time that year. for instance, the cement mills had no or ders. l predicted that we would soon be turning down orders for cement. The treaty of Versailles was accepted by the Germans June 2S. By July the mills were flooded with orders In a months time we were booked to ca pacity far ahead and were out of the market.
 T do not claim that there will be an exact reproduction of the 1919 process, but believe it will be substantially the same, only little more gradual.
 Cement mills are already working well and the growing building pro- gramme holds out prospect of big busi- ness on the turn of the half year."

 Magazine for May.
 p ssa ..' ses esa.' i" a.sy ss, @'s' sp.. Hs sn sometimes. By virtue of his Papeete schooling, he was the chief elder of his church-but, once he sloughed off his air of Latter Day Saintliness he made splendid master of revels; and he threw 1t aside the moment the drums began to beat, and led dozen of the younger men in a dance which I had not seen before. It drill set to music, except that the movements were as intricate and graceful as they were exhausting Three kinds of drums were used; one, an empty gasoline tin, upon which the drummer kept up a steady roll while the dance was in progress. The rhythm for the movements was indicated by three others, two of them beating hol lowed cylinders of wood, while a third was provided with an old French army drum of the Napoleonic period. The syncopation was extraordinary. I have never heard an American jazz orches- tra which could compare, in that re- spect, with those Paumotuan drum mers. They split measures in an amaz- Ing variety of ways, and often when the opportunity seemed lost joined the fragments perfectly just as the next one was at hand. Their music was a Kaleidoscope in sound, made up of unique and startling variations in figure to the next.

Another reason for a white way on Fifth avenue. north, was created yes terday when it was announced a local real estate firm would build several one-story brick business houses be- tween Twentieth and Twenty-first streets" said P. Y. Whitman.

From the Baltimore American.

ERHI7HHE stage" said pr. J. Roach
 Straton in a sermon in New
 Ut York on Sunday, "is reeking
 with infamy." Like all absolute gen. I eralizations of this kind, for 1t Is as impossible to draw up an indictment against all the members of profes- sion as against a whole nation. AS the old maxim for the guidance of discus sion, always define your terms" is | still valid. it might be asked, what is
 meant by the inclusive term, the stage? !?
 Even if it included everything from an interpretation of Hamlet to Broad
 way burlesque. to say that the whole category of people who in any role appear before the footlights are con taminated Is wild exaggeration, and to offer any apology for the stage at its best would be a gratuitous insult to the ablest expositors of the dramatic | art.
 The stage. like other human avoca- | tions, has had its ups and downs. In it's early beginnings the drama was a
 means of conveying religious instruc- tion, and <the church found the old morality play an effective means of
 presenting great spiritual ideas, and one of the remarkable features of the history of dramatic acting during the | last generatis n is that the morality play like "Everyman." has been r,r;tI
 matic critics who have earned the right to be heard and who speak with
 full knowledge of the subject main i tain that there are many trivial plays
 and much poor acting. On the other
 hand, among people who know and
 who think for themselves, the drama and the profession of acting are com ing into their own. Dramatic studies
 have won a, place for themselves in the curricula of some universities. The vast hinterland west of New York Is no longer satisfied, with what New York sends to it and in many places local dramatic talent is finding an out let for itself by writing Nor producing | PA@y '' Ill hdHy SCHOoiS II hdS bCSii found that the child's instinct to dra- | matize its experiences or it's dreams | may be made useful aid to the teach ing of literature and even of history,
 and no child who has had that oppor- tunity under sympathetic direction will
 be satisfied when he goes out into the
 world with cheap and nasty perfor-
 mances before the footlights. Good
 plays are not only being written and acted but published and read, and in
 many ways the dramatic outlook is
 more hopeful than it has been for many years.
 To emphasize these facts is not to shut one's eyes to the defects of the present-day stage. far sounder criticism than some current but gross : ll ly Unbalanced criticism of the stage would be to say that good deal of what appears on the boards is, not so
 much immoral as stupid or silly Those who like that kind of thing get tns

Restricted Immigration
 to Safeguard the Future

r5NHE immigration restriction bill,
 Il which was passed by both Houses of Congress and will be signed by President Harding, marks . new epoch in American history.
 For the first time a means has been jund which will effectively chec.., the influx of undesirable for eigners. The time has come when something had to be done. American institutions were menaced by class of immigration which is alien when 1t comes to this country and largely remains so. The remarkable vote cast in favor of this bill in the House and Senate shows that the serious ness of the situation has deeply inn pressed American statesmen. Fur thermore, they felt that in casting their votes they had the support of the bulk of the American people who have had an eleventh hour real ization of the evils that follow from Unrestricted immigration.
 Our immigration laws heretofore have been more or less of farce. Even the regulations applying to the Predetermined and diseased have not been strictly enforced because of an Inadequate personnel to handle immi- fration at the ports of entry. It is obviously impossible for . doctor who passes on several thousand immi- grants in one day to detect every for eiener who is diseased or of such low Intelligence that he will become bur den on the community.
 Kenneth Roberts has an article on Immigration in lait weeks Saturday Evening Post that should be read by every American citizen who has any regard for his country's welfare and the welfare of future generations. Inn

Strides Made by Building
 and Loan Associations

RNHE building and loan associations U of the United States had an un- precedented growth last year. That being the case, it stands to reason that their 1921 growth will mark a still higher record, because these as- sociations are the great home build CTS of the country. and home build ing is going on as it has not done in several years.
 There are now in the country 8,633 of these institutions with total as- sets amounting to two and a half billions of dollars. The membership or number of shareholders is almost five million men and women, with average holdings of $507.
 The Wall Street Journal believes this record shows that during the period of wartime prosperity, with it's high wages and reckless spend- ing, the frugal members of the building and loan associations laid aside greater percentage than usual for the proverbial rainy day.
 The Journal says further: "These associations promoting thrift and pro- viding homes are really the only prac- tical agency through which the hous- ing situation can be solved, because they are nearer the working people and best understand their needs"
 Two of Birmingham's building and loan associations increased their cap ital stock by $4,0O0,OO0 this spring; which means that much more money available for homes for the masses. The people are using this money and modest homes are rising by the hun dreds.

--]8e------- WHITE SAILS

Clinton scollard in the New York Her. ald Today took the Maytime mountain
 trail, Where fragile fern fronds hid dead
 leaf and mould. And where pale trillums with hearts
 of gold Were as wan novices ere they don the
 veil; Then sudden OCT me seemed to spread
 a sail, baraue with canvas loossned fold
 on fold Transported from far ocean ways un
 told. It's jibs and gallants dipping to the
 gale. Then all the greenery was as . sea That ran and rimpled underneath the
 sun; A pine tree was the tall main mast.
 and now thought of distant ports that might
 be won. The Blessed Isles, the wharves of Faery' Through those white sails upon the
 dogwood bough.
