GOODWIN STRIKES KEYNOTE.
Mr. Goodwin seemed to strike the
keynote OF the opposition. After quot
ing some statements made by Presi-
dent Harding, Mr.. Goodwin concluded
his remarks with this paragraph:
"The application of the principle
expressed by the Chief Executive of
the American Government TO the bill
In question lies in the fact that. by
the provisions Of the bill. the United
States Employee Compensation Com

create and administer a fund for as
surance, of compensation, excluding
all possibility OF participation by
companies engaged In doing business.

firrhatively to be incapable of per-
forming this function with efficiency.

by Mr.. Goodwin. No one. they said.
opposes the principle of worlmer'
compensation but the oppositnon to
the monopoustic form of the bill Is
very general. In short, II was point
ed out that the question of compen-
sstion Is not In dispute. II is mere
iy a question OF whether the govern
ment shall enter the insurance BUSH
ness to the exclusion of all private
companies.
WILL AVOID DELAYS.
Miss Smith favored the bill as IL
stands for the reason. she said. that II
will avoid delays in the awarding Of
compensation. She cited instances
OF women employees in the District Of
Columbia who were injured and sub
sequently returned. only to find their
places nlled by others. Congressman
Underhill of Massachusetts objected
to the point made by Miss Smith with
regard to the delay In CONDENSATION.
Delays. he said. are necessary to as

DON HARNESS
Secretary DENLY Expected to
Approve Sam Brown Belts
For Marine Officers.

Here's the latest in fashion
notes; judging by the past, It wfll
no doubt cause stir in local
society circles.
The Sam Brown belt, tsbooed
in the United States by the War.
Department during the world war,
will probably be officially adopted
by the Marine Corps within the
next few weeks.
WORN IN A. q. r.
At a recent conference Of marine
officers the question Of wearing the
belt was suggested. and Secretary OF
the Navy DENLY will be asked to ap-
prove it's adoption.
The belt, originally designed by Gen.
Sam Brown, an English cavalry Of
nicer, for use in the India possessions
OF Britain. was adopted by officers OF
the American and other allied expe-
dictionary forces AS an insignia by
which their rank could be Identified
BY the allied soldiers and officers
All Of the continental officers wore
the belt, but when many of the Of
hcers of the army who did not get to
France or England began to wear the
belt in the United States. the War
Department issued an order that the
belt was TO be used only by the Ameris,
can forces in action-that ii was not
to be standard regulation equipment
over here. N
NAY ALTER UNIFORM.
The belt Is OF leather, running
around the waist with 4 strap owe,
the right shoulder. Should the beit
be adopted. u is likely that II wi,
be siiehtiy altered as the uniforms
and equipment OF the marine officer
Is not like that worn by the British
officers. E
