WOMEN BUY new Wells
INSTEAD OF NEW HATS

LONDON. March si.z-women have
been caught by a new temptation
they are buying. not new spring hats.
but new spring wells.
Hats they may be buying. but the
wells they must buy. and often the
wells are costlier than the hats that
they cover.
They are of the widest range in pat
tern and design. and range from en-
broidered lace to gold thread trimmed
with monkey fur or gold rings.

The Farmer-Labor party holds q

In the first place there is the petit

ing. to be addressed mainly by
speakers who are not Socialists.
Indeed, 1t is now planned that
there will be only one Socialist
speaker. Among those who are asked
to address the mass meeting are
Senator France, Jane Adams. and
the Rev. John Haynes Holmes, and
such labor leaders as John Fitz-
patrick, president of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, and johnson.
Of the machinists.
Two visits will be made by small
delegations, one is 70 President
Harding, and the appointment has
been already made. The speakers
will be selected, not for their views
on Socialism. but for their views on
treeOOm ana tne tyranny VI war.
A delegation, different In per-
sonnel but similar in quality and
numbers, will make a visit to Mr..
Daugherty.
There will also be a visit to WASH
ington by a special delegation of
ciergymen, now being selected by the
Rev. Percy Stickney Grant. This
feature may seem inappropriate to
some, but 1t Is a fact that there are
g. certain number of clergymen still
at large who believe in the simpler
messages of the New Testament.
Many of them ought, no doubt. to
be in Jail along with those who are
already there.
Among those who have signed the
petition is M. H. Karnes, Republicans

have had some such considerations in

The new way Of doing Mondays wash

TINE old way made such drudgery of wash

clothes in steaming boiler.
It left you limp as rag when it was over,
too tired to do another thing.
That is what Monday has meant to housewives for
centuries 1t used to be necessary. There was no
way Of making Mondays task simple one
But now all that is over.
The new way makes washing merely >n incident in
the daily round instead of the grind it used to be.
Next Monday wash your clothes this new way

In these pure suds tho clothes are as safe as in

injure them, no hard rubbing on the washboard to
wear the threads and fade the colors.
Saved from harsh chemicals and the washboard your
clothes actually give you twice the wear you've been

the upper class OF four local schools

day.
The purpose of the affair was to
introduce the boys to the Rotarians
as individuals and as an organiza-
tion, and lay before them the motives
which underlle it's workings and the
plans which they have IN mind. ANY
suggestions which may be offered
from the boys standpoint also is
brought forward
The Boys Work Committee OF the
club had outlined this as the first
step in its program. This win be
carried further through the Educa-
uonal Committee of the club, which
has already put into practice its plan
OF having speakers from it's member
ship address the schools along the
lines of business and professional out
look. thus assisting in the choice OF
a vocation.
Each member present at the lunch
today entertained one boy as his
guest and was seated next him, and
was supposed TO get thoroughly in
touch with him.
