AMONG NEW BINGHAM FROCKS
Frocks for Spring and Summer Are
Daintily Trimmed With Wool
Embroidery.

Some of the best dressmakers are
making bingham frocks for spring and
summer trimmed with wool en-
broidery. Especially attractive are
those with hens run with wool. One
attractive model made of brown-and-
white checks has a straight gathered
skirt with a series of three tucks run
in brown wool stitches about a half
inch in length.
Then there are charming little ging-
ham dresses made with wool en-
brOidered flowers or fruit. However.
there is always real wisdom in making
Bingham frocks so that they may be
easily washed and ironed and this
wooden embroidery does not recon-
mend itself on this score. The wool
run tucks are possible providing you
take the tuck originally in machine
stitching, simply using the wool-run-
ming for ornamentation.
One of the greatest advantages in
making bingham dresses at home is
that you may have them shrunk be-
forehand. 1t IS also a good plan to
have the color set before the material
is cut, and this can be done at the
same time that you are shrinking the
goods.
The substances usually used for set
ting colors are salt, vinegar, alum or
sugar of lead. The aforementioned is
a poison, so it is better not to use it.
To set the color in any material, dis
solve in a gallon of warm water one
half cupful of strong vinegar, two
cupfuls of salt or one tablespoonful of
alum. Mix thoroughly and let the ma
terial soak in this overnight. Dry be-
fore it is admitted to clear water.
In selecting the material for ging-
ham frocks it is always worth while
to pay the price required to get the
best quality. Certain standard makes
Of high-priced bingham are a good
choice, as you may depend on the
quality of these.

PARIS HAIR MODE
Elaborate HeaddreSses Worn
by Majority of Women.
Revival Came Into Action at Nice and
Monte Carlo and Has Grown
Prominent

This is going to be a season of "eve-
ming headdresSes." This revival came
into action at Nice and Monte Carlo
during the holiday festivities. 1t has
since then grown more and more
prominent. This season in Paris,
writes a correspondent, we shall find
elaborate evening headdresses worn
by every One-and on unexpected &C.
caSiOnS.
A curious fact connected with this
revival is this: On one hand we have
women who refuse to wear any hair
ornament whatever, who make habit
of dressing their hair exceedingly sim
pie in the evening-natural waves,
just a jeweled pin or two, perhaps
small comb, but nothing more. This
is what one might call the "classic
style" and it is admirable from every
point of view.
Now that powder and patches are
coming in again we shall witness lit
tie war of headdresses, the ornate
style which was popular in the period
Of Marie Antoinette or the picturesque
mode of Embarrassing exploited by such
beauty as Nine. de Pompadour We
shall see.
Just now the 1avorite evening head
dress takes mOb-cap form. 1t is made
Of beaded or pailletted tulle. Some Of
the more costly models are almost COW
cred with valuable jewels and fine en-
broidery.
Almost always there is q dangling
ornament hanging loose at one side,
over the ear; sometimes there are two
flowers, one on either side. Little chin
straps of pearls or diamonds are at
tached to evening headdresses.
The Parisiennes are playing all
sorts Of cunning tricks with wells this
year. They are wearing them large
and small, square, round and oblong;
thickly covered with spiders-web de-
signs or plain tulle with an elaborate
border.
Many of the new spri1 6 hats have
chantilly wells attached to the wide
brim. The lace is always fine and as
transparent as possible The veil is
so arranged that it falls over the brim
unevenly-much longer at one side
than the other, or very long at the
back and short in front.
All-black hats, of picture order, are
to be seen in the best millinery
studios, and also a great many black
velvet toques, the latter rather eccen-
trio in outline and very wide at the
sides.

HOW BLOUSES ARE TRIMMED
Garments Are Heavily TinseIed, In
set With Jewels and LavishIy
Beaded in BuoIes.

The newest blouses are deliberately

both long and short. The longest
models reach almost to the knees.

are combined with black bugles. In
rust-colored crepe short tie-on blouse
is embroidered in white silk, and is
further ornamented with jewels of
ruby color, a heavy antique gold gimp
trimming being used to simulate a
setting for them as we'll as making a
neck finish.
Imitation sapphires stud circles of
heavy silver tinsel thread, which is
applied in a loose darning stitch on
a black blouse, which is also of short
cut, and another of the waistline

green and gold trimming.
Crystal bugles in gold color are
effective in combination with milk
bugles on a long pale gray blouse,
which has a border design closely pat
termed, and a similar band treatm2nt
is introduced at the shoulder, els
forming also a large portion of the
sleeve.
A dark blue taffeta silk panel on
a tan crepe blouse gradually grows
wider as it runs from neck to below
the waistline, and is tucked in fine
horizontal rows inset at intervals with
val lace; it is girdled with dark
Srosgrain ribbon.

From present indication it would

the varying tones are becoming alike

TRICK SHOULDER" BEATS
HARTFORD INSURANCE cos

Charged with defrauding two Hart
ford insurance companies, Frank Carr,
u years, who says his home is in Miami,
Fla, was arrested in Hartford several
days ago. He confessed to the chief of
the detective bureau, after being sub
jeCted to long cross-exanination, that
he secured hundreds of dollars from in
surance companies by 'dislocating" q
'trick" shoulder.
Carr's trick shoulder has baffled doc
tors in many cities, it was said by the
police. His practice of falling down
flights of stairs and claiming he was
",njured' would not have been discov-
cred, it was said, were it not for the
fact that the suspicious of insurance ad-
justers were aroused by the frequent
''accidents" that came to the lot of Carr
In Hartford Carr is said to have secured
money from the Hartford Accident and
Indemnity company and Travellers Insur-
anCe company.

AMERICA MAKES THE STYLES
Dictatorship Of Women's Apparel Said
to Include Every Country
In the World.

American dictatorship Of wOmen's
styles has grown until it includes ev-
cry country in fine world where women
study the fashion books, according to
the fashionable dreSsmakers in Lon
don and Paris. It is the American
women who say what they want, and
the world wears it-Whether it be-
comes the world or not.
According to Elspeth Phelps, one Of
London's leading Fashionable dress
makers, this American predOminance
of styles began shortly before the war,
but has shown decided development in
the last few years. 1t was felt first
in Paris, and what Paris found good
London also adopted-and liked.
Those simple and costly little silk
frCcks that are now such feature in
the Partisan shops are not Partisan at
all, said Miss Phelps. They are en-
tiTely American in style and cut. Wom-
en- who came to Paris liked them
and took home such quantities of them
that the style is known wherever wom-
en- are.
Paris first began using American
lean women have always been the best
customers of the Paris shops and they
have had the money to buy what they
wanted Most of the American women
who came abroad liked to have Paris
trademarks on their clothes, but they
insisted on American styles. The ex-
elusive shops wisely began giving them
what they demanded, and American
clothing began coming out Of Paris.
Nominally, Paris is still the style
center of Europe. American influence
is not generally acknowledged. Fashion
experts abroad dislike to admit the
full scope Of power which the Yankees
have over the clothes output. But they
admit to you in secret that European
women are dressing according to New
York, instead of Paris.

expose the facing of henna georgette.
The sleeves and collar are also faced

SICK JUDGE KILLS
RIGHT OF PEOPLE
FOR REFERENDUM
Signs Decision Without Reading
in Case He Didn't Hear
Argued.

Seattle, April 8.-Officers of the
Washington state federation of labor
charge that the direct legislation system
in tlfis state has been strangled by a
sick justice of the state supreme court
signing the decision without reading it.
The decision against us was four to
five" the unionists says. Judge Mont
was i'll in bed and didn't hear the case
argued, but two days later, it is reported,
was rolled over in bed and asked to sign
the decision against us-Which he did
although he never heard it argued in
court The decision means that the sew
enth amendment to the state constitution,
giving the people the right Of referen-
dunn on acts of the leg slature, is dead"
The decision was on the act known
as the civil administration code, which
rips up state labor commissions and
social agencies, and places them under
the control of one man, appointed by
the governor Trade unionists opposed
the act and prepared to demand that it be
submitted to referendum. The legisla-
ture tackled an 'emergency" clause to the
law, which made it effective Immediately
on its passage. The state supreme court
was asked to set aside this clause, as no
emergency exists, and, therefore, the
clause violates the spirit of direct legisla-
ton by making it impossible for the peo-
pie to pass judgment on the act.
The court held that the legislature is
the sole judge of an emergency. The
unionsts declare that this kills the refer
endum in this state, as the legislature will
now attach an emergency clause to acts
it would keep from the people.

TREMENDOUS INCREASE
IN BEET SUGAR CROP

According to preliminary estimate
by the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture beet
sugar production in the United States in
1920 exceeded the former crop record
of 1915 by u per cent, and reached the
high figure of 100000 pounds.
The department states that the in
creased yield was the result of a con-
sideration of large acreage and favorable
weather conditions, Production of cane
sugar is estimated to have been 385,974,-
600 pounds, SO that the total estimated
sugar crop for the United States was
O5,741 900 pounds This was IS per
cent. above the record sugar production
for the United States in 1916 and So per
cent. above that of 1919 Beet SIT gar
has been gaining on cane sugar in pro-
duction for many years, taking the lead
as early as 1906.

.LABOR-CAPITAL
PREPARE TO FIGHT
AT BRITISH POLLS
Grave Crisis Impending With
Communists Backing Capital
to Start Trouble.

London, April 8.-LlOyd George is
preparing for a general election which
| will determine whether capital or labor
| shall control the government of Great
Britain for the next six years. When
! the election will be held is not known.
| 1t is doubtful if even Lloyd George has
date in mind. He is waiting for
favorable opening.
The little Welshman is not a great
statesman, but his bitterest enemy will
scarcely question the claim that he is a
| Ma ster politician. He can embrace or
discard an issue with the facility with
which he changes his coat.
Just now his plan seems to be to
muster the forces of Big Business"
backed by the middle class and make a
grand assault in the Labor party, charg-
ng it with being socialistic with ten
dency to bolshevism.
In a recent speech he declared that
the Labor party was greater menace
to Britain than nilitarist1c Germany.
That's going pretty strong, but George
knew his audience.
He realizes that his situation is des-
perate ana that if he is to hold tri-
urnphant coalition together he must
furnish a shibboleth which will draw
the campaign funds from the rich mems
strong boxes and drive the property
owning middle class into Mysteries.
'Bolshevism is at our doorsl Brit
aims awakev'
Will that do it? The Premier thinks
| Sc. and he will take the gamble in the
10 distant future.

ceiitly. Labor won three and lost the
f urth through laundering tactics.
There can be no question that the

Unemployment, the wretched situation in
ireland and the failure of the Premier
to make settlement which would restore
Europe to semblance of "norma1cy"
are some of the things that are counting
against Lloyd George.
Now two other grim issues are COM
ing forward.
The government has surrendered con-
troll of the coal industry. The owners
! have announced that wages must go
down and prices to the consumer must
go up.
The miners insist that the industry
must be conducted as a unit with uni
|. form wages and working conditions and
pooling of profits which would enable
al tie mines to operate.
This appeals to the owners whose cost
of production is high, but it will not be
considered by those who are more for
turately situated
This is not a pleasant outlook, but it
does rot portend revolution. There is a
snail body of communists actively at
work III this country. They are prob
ably responsible for the one defeat sus-
tanned by Labor in the bye-elections.
They want trouble-armed revolution
and they would like to see the Labor
party defeated and discredited because
they think that would give them their
chance.
They will never get that chance, but
they may spoil I-abor's chances in the
coming election. The workers are al
ready impatient with them, and this re-
| sentiment will be more marked as time
! passes.
The government is doing nothing to
suppress these hrebrands. Lloyd George
knows they are helping his cause more
than almost any other influence in Eng
land.
