"Are you surprised, Daddy" Cherry

joyously.
A place was made for Martin, and
biscuits and omelet and honey and

Cherry took, her chair, all dimples,

laughed at them as they went. Anne,

FOREIGN BONDS ARE RISKY

Washington, Nov. 18-The depart ment of commerce has issued warning against buying foreign bonds payable i'll depreciated currenCics in the eXpeCta- tion of realizing enormous profits when exchange values return to normal. Ger tain banking and broker concerns are dealing in these bonds, and are urging the people to invest their small savings The bonds referred to especially aye Germany Austria. Poland. Czecho- Slovakia. Rumania, Jugo-Slovakia and Hungary.
 The department of commerce says that even with the low price some of these bonds are sold, that price is high in view of the actual exchange rate of the given currency. Instances are cited of the great disparity between the sale of the advertised securities in terms of dollars and the price at which they could be pur- chased with American money in the for eign country. This difference is pocket ed by the banker or broker.

FIRST PAN AMERICAN CONGRESS OF WOMEN TO BE IN BALTIMORE
Connecticut to Send Seven Delegates to Discuss Important
 Problems.

With Connecticut entitled to seven del egates to the national convention of the League of Women Voters, it is believed that number of women from this state will attend the Pan-American conference of women to be held in connection with the third convention of the league in Baltimore, Md, April 20 to April 29, 1922. This is the first Pan-American conference of women ever called.
 Cooperating with the league in bring ing the Pan-American Women's confer ence to the United States are Secretary of State Hughes, Secretary of Com merce Hoover and Dr. L. s. Rowe, director general of the Pan-Anerican Union.
 The invitations to the governments ot South and Central American countries to send delegates to the Pan-American conference have been forwarded by the state department through its diplomatic representatives in the republics of Latin America. The main purpose of the con- ference, according to Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of the national league, is to bring the women of the United States into friendly relations with the women of South America, Central Amer ica, Mexico, and Canada.
 "We have had a number of conver- tions of the men of the Pan-AmeriCan states" said Mrs. Park in speaking of the approaching convention, "but none in which women have been delegates. In my opinion this Pan-American confer ence will do more to cement good fellow ship and create a genuine good feeling of confidence in diplomatic and inter national relations than any other single act could do"
 The program for the round table con- ferences, just made public by Mrs. Park, will be in charge of nationally prominent women. Miss Grace Abbott, Chief of the Children's Bureau, U. 5. Depart ment of Labor, heads the conference on Child Welfare. A representative from the U s. Bureau of Education will open the conference on Education. Miss Mary Anderson, Chief of the Women'S Bureau of the Department of Labor, will pers1de over the conference on Women in h. dustry, and Dr, Valeria Parker kxecu- tive Secretary of the U. $. 1nterdepart- mental Social Hygiene Board, over that on Prevention of Traffic in Women. The newly appointed U. s. Assistant Attorney General, Mrs. Mabel M. Wh- lebrandt, is to open the conference on the Civil Status of Wamen, while Mrs. Car r;e Chapman Catt, President of the h. ternational Woman Sufferage Alliance will preside at the conference on the Political Status of Women.
 Following the three-day conferences IS to he a big mass meeting at which the

DEFENDS ORGANIZATION OF WORKERS AND JUSTIFIES SUSPENSION OF w O RK WHEN CAUSE IS GIVEN TO DO so.

Boston, Nov. 18.-Cardinal O'Connell issued Sunday a pastorial letter on in- dustrial conditions in which he upheld the right of workingmen to organize justified the strike as labors defense against injury and oppression, and ad- hibit a just strike.
 Asserting that the existence of deep seated discontent and far-reaching re- sentiment in the industrial world of today was not to be questioned the cardinal called on the workingman to fulfill his rightful obligations, to be honest i'll his labor, to keep just agreements with his employer and to urge his claims fairly Employers, he urged, should provide a fair wage, be faithful to just agreements and Ito have regard for the dignity of the workman, his right, to health, to safety and to recreation.
 "The evils and abuses of the present industrial system cannot be too strongly deplored," the Cardinals letter continued.
 "Stories of excessive profits and low wages, of heartless diSmissals, of in- human disregard of labor, are disgrace to our democratic state Happily, there are exceptions.
 "These exceptions make us realize that what is needed is transformation of men and methods. Greed and averice must be checked whenever possible. Living in .,I +l1-;, cocSo41y h. coc;o1 responsibility of the wealthy is self evident When, however, capital is ob- durate i'll its evil ways, and abuses its strength there IS only one refuge left to the oppressed, and that refuge is or ganization.
 "The modern state has been loathe to recognize the natural right of labor to organize, right which no state can justly contravence, right which the church has always defended.
 Until due recognition and help come to the worker from state or employer, he will be justified by self defense in re- sorting to strikes. It Is natural right of man to give or withhold his labor. It is mans defense. Mans right to strike is then natural right

hanging drapery at the side of the skirt, and again under the arms and at the waistline, is of royal blue crepe georgstte. As far as trimming Is con- cerned, there is none, only that shim- | mer of the deep blue that appears now and again to relieve the solid black ness of the frock. The whole art of the thing lies in the lines and in the general suitability of the frock to the personality of the wearer. The sketch came directly from Paris and shows well what they consider over there the right length of skirt. It Is, doubt less, but forerunner of the length of our skirts a season or two to come. Among the frocks of muslin, cotton crepe or organdie of which such a vast quantity Is shown for wear during the summer months, citron-yellOw is by far the favorite shade. This tone was seen repeated over and over again, and the transparent quality of the summerish fabric gives a light and airy feeling to these frOcks of yellow which have no equal as a warm weath- CT expression.
 
 ming their rose and apricot mulls with country flowers made of other colors of organdie posed on the gowns at various fascinating places. An or gandie rose will hold a ribbon belt in place and will show there not only the flowers but its leaves made of thin fabric. The French can do anything with a material If 1t Is in the least pliable, and the newer OrgandfeS are positively inspirational in their texture and in their colors They make gar denias and sweet peas of organdte that put the real ones to shame, and then they use them with a skill that only born artist can display.
 Cotton Hats and Laees. For instance, a garland of these or gandfe poSies is placed over one hip, starting at the waistline, and this is the only trimming that the dress Is allowed, the rest of it being quite plain and simple, with only the simplest of picoted edges to set 1t off. Another motif of these little flowers starts on the right shoulder and floats over the front of the gown, to be fastened at the left side of the belt. The dress with this, too, is quite the background for the flower adornment Doucet is showing frocks of colored and white linen in what Is called the handker- chief quality, with trimmings of these little organdie nowers. The novelty of the trimming Is a certain relief from the everlasting lingerie trim mings to which frocks of this char acter have for so long been confined.
 Cotton nets and cotton laces are an other combination which has received much attention for summer wear and

BUY ONLY UN1ON-MADE GOODS
PROFITEER CONTROL
 CAUSE HIGH PRICES

Washington, Nov. 18.-The great cor porations of this country 'have been exercising a sinister influence not only on public opinin, but they have been so potential in the councils of the great leaders of political parties that they have distated their own terms and their terms were unconditional surrender" said Sen ator Reed in discussing the revenue bill.
 There is today a peculiar reason which emphasizes the enormity of this policy It is found in the fact that every farmer i'll the United States is selling everything he produces at less than pre- war prices, and he is buying his necessi- ties in market controlled by profteers, and no reasonable man can deny the statement. Why am 1 warranted i'll say ing that? Wool is selling for less than it has sold for in the United States in the last 20 years. The price has gone down to almost nothing, yet every wool en garment costs two or three or four times what 1t did before the war.
 "What is the cause of that? Is it on account of an increase in wages? Wages have advanced somewhat, but wages are now declining and rapidly declining. Making every allowance possible for in creased costs, there is such gap between the price of the raw material and the price of the finished product that it is perfectly manifest that there must be an enormous profit realized. Otherwise, why should the treasury estimate that, under present depressed conditions, $45O,- 100000 can be collected this year upon excess profits?
 \ You need not argue this question very long with farmer who has marketed steers hide for SIPS and in turn is compelled to pay SIP for pair of shoes which before the war he could have bought for four or five dollars.'
