McGILLEN, THE YOUNG DEMOC
RACY AND POLITICAL Re-
FORMS.

John McGillen wrote the Constl'
tuition of the Young Democracy
which was adopted by its famous
convention in the SOS. This organ
ization was the strongest and most
UNIQUE body of its kind in the world.
1t numbered 10000 members, most
of whom were young men In their
early twenties 1t helped elect Grover
Cleveland president. It's main OBJ
ject was reform in party and polltl-
cal government. The constitution
written by McGillen was adopted and
Henry F. Donovan was elected as its
first president The constitution
called for the use of the Australian
ballot instead of the soap box sys-
TEN with "pasters" and other fraud
encouraging devices. When in use
at elections the Australian" ballot
has since been adopted and is now
in general use The Young Demo-
cracy in McGilien's Constitution
called for party organization by pre-
cinct organization with one mem
fer of the Managing Committee from
each ward. This has since been
adopted by all parties and is now
part of the State law. Take it all
in all the Young Democracy worked
for the betterment of things in the
political world.

on first class mail matter, and in

Growing out of the exchange of

MOUNTAINS AFFECT BIRD LIFE
Andes Said to Be Responsible for Num-.
Der of Species Found in
South America.

The richness of South American
bird-life is due to the presence Of the
Andes more than to any other enc
thing. 1t is the absence of great
mountain chains in Africa, which &C
counts for the comparatively small
numbers of species of birds In that
continent. From base to summit, four
distinct zones of life-tropical, SUBJ
tropical. temperate and alpine-are
found in the higher Andes, and each
zone has species which are confined
to it.
1t is not only the height of the An
des which affects bird life. In places.
for hundreds of miles, this gigantic
range may appear as two or three
chains, each not less than 10000 or
11,OCO feet In height, and these cli-
matte walls are as impossible to the
species living in the tropical or sub
tropical valleys they inclOse as though
they extended to the zenith. Isoia-
ton is. therefore, added ito the fac
tors of climate and sedentariness in
the making of the species, and the
three combined have produced great
er variety of bird life than is found
in any area of similar extent In the
world The American museum Of nat
ural history inaugurated in 1911 b.

with particular reference to its bird
life. AS a result of the collections
and field studies made, the museum
is now in possession Of large coilec-
lions and data from the more north
ern part of the chain.

Trimmings, of course, are the impor-
tant features Of any new winter offer
ings in the way of suits, for trimmings
are necessary in order to keep up the
warmth of the proposition. and wheth-
err they are in the form of trimmings
that are permanently attached or
whether they are the popular fur sets,
still they become a part of that suit.
The shorter furs are the ones that are
receiving the most attention.
Beaver and nutria and mole are the
ones that are best liked for collars and
cuffs on the brown and taupe shades
IF duvetyn, and their colors blend so
very tremendously with the shades of
those favorite materials. The longer
haired furs, as far as suits are con-
cerned, have sunk into the back
ground Just now. All of the suits
have that slick look that is out of
KEY with the longer and more irregu-
lar looking skins. Astrachan and
Krimmer are very popular, and these
furs are particularly lovely when they
are combined with the rich dull-red
shades. Baby lamb has sprung into
favor for this sort of trimming, and

Never has there been a better "suft
year." as they have it in the vernacu-

been just right-not too warm and not
too cold. And just at this time, says
New York fashion correspondent,
one sees the newest creations in the
way of winter suits and all-the-year-
round suits and fancy suits and plain
suits. After a few weeks have passed
the general horizon" will again be
dotted with varieties Of top coats and
fur wraps, etc, but right at this min
ute the popular trend is all in the di-
rectiOn of the suit. Then here is the
psychological moment to study the
suit, for the forward marching ones
are setting the styles for many months
to come and the little variances which
they show are the ones that are des-
tined to live. Thus does the wary
woman plan her dressing, so that
when she buys there will be no dan
ger of her becoming the proud posses
sOr of style that has seen its day.
