 Another very interesting feature of the bill is the provision stating that all medical treatment which any widow, orphan or ex- service man may require while receiving such training. be pro- vided at the expense of the government As no provision of this sort has been made by congress, such organizations as the Elks have raised special funds to take care of doctors bills incurred by men who have received or are now

Mr.. Editor: desire to make few OBJ

In the first place why should an In

a Standard of time for others to be

Of time as we have it now and have had
for hundreds and thousands Of years good
enough for all mortals?
All measurement Of time Is governed
by the laws of nature, except the second,
the minute, the hour. and the week.
The year by the revolutions of the earth
around the stin the month by the moon,
and the day by the spinning Of the
earth upon itself every "a hours.
The spinning of the earth Upon itself

There is an old and wise saying, "Iset

I think that saying Is an excellent
one for the daylight savers to pohdef

HEAVY SILK RLousEs.

Crepe de chine, crepe meteor and
other silks having real body" seem
TO be active rivals for spring of the
more filmy geArgettes, chiffons, etc.
One very smart crepe de chine blouse
seen during the week had a deep
plain yoke reaching just below the
bust line. To the yoke was attached
a skirt" or peplum of self fabric laid
in half Inch pleats. The blouse came
about four inches below the normal
waist line and was equipped with
sleeves little more than elbow
length. A loosely looped girdle of
beads in contrasting color to the blouse
held the garment in at the waist line.
The neck was round and both neck
and sleeves were beaded to match the
girdle.
Bright colors are very much to the
fore in the development of blouses
for spring and summer. AS a matter
of fact dress accessories such as
vestees, guimpes, collar and cuff sets,
ETC., feature unusually rich and vivid
shades. White is no longer in COM
plete control in accessory lines, such
vivid shades as rose, henna, corn
flower blue, tomato and orange play
ing each an important part.

WHAT WILL THE LEAGUE DO.

Whether or not the league of nations
recognizes the existence and purpose Of
the Monroe doctrine, as it is held to by
the advocates of it, will be displayed to
some extsnt by the attitude 1t. takes to-
ward the trouble that has arisen anew
between Panama and Costa Rica. That
boundary dispute doesn't involve any for
eign aggression but it does threaten the
peace of this hemisphere. This country
has endeavored to prevent bloodshed and
while it has not succeeded in that 1t has
brought the hostilities to an end and not
only secured the acceptance from Costa
Rica of its offer to act as mediator but
that republic has ordered the disbanding
of its army and the fighting is over.
So far the good Offices Of this govern.
ment have been used in behalf Of peace.
Unfortunately Panama regards the matter
in a different light than Costa Riea. Ii
doesn't directly say that tiis government
is not acceptable as mediator, but main
tains that it WIN not arbitrate the boun.
dairy line as set forth in the finding Of
Chief Justice White Of the United States
supreme court about seven years ago And
while Costa Rica looks to the United
States Panama, the republic which can.
not fail to closely associate this country
with its existence, turns to the league
of nations for assistance. These neigh

Panama apparently seeks to call in othe,

where the covenant of the league main
tains that nothing in it is to affect sue

contention. Alexander Hamilton, the

was met with much criticism and the
bitter fight that followed arrayed the
people into two distinct political par
ties.
Those who had opposed the adoption Of
the constitution, as well as those who had
not taken a position Of such broad oppo-
sition, and still some who had supported
the constitution were up in arms against

the constitution contained no express

LINEN HINTS.

An ideal place for linen is well ven
tilated cupboard, in a warm, dry place
and in a good light. The shelves should
be made of strips of wood instead Of
one solid piece, so that the air can
circulate freely.
Linen win wear longer and more
evenly if it is used uniformly. Put the
clean linen in the bottom of the pile
and use from the. top. In this way
each piece is used in turn.
1t is not economy to store linen for
long periods without using it. This
applies particularly to starched line,
for the starch rots and discolors it. 1t
is the best" linen which is most like
ly to suffer in this way. 1t should
have Its turn for family use, and go
through the wash occasionally.
A good way to protect the corners
of tablecloths, which somehow always
suffer in the laundry, is to sew a piece
of tape on them, six inches is enough
three on each side Of the corner; ant
the tape is sewn nat to meet exact1.
the edge Of the cloth.

BY the advocacy Of the ratification Of
the treaty with Colombia for the purpose
Of ending that e6ntfoVersy Of long stand
ing there is raised once more that much
debated question. 1t is matter which
has never been settled and there are
those whs insist that II never should be
settled by the payment Of any such
amount as the treaty involves.
Every administration has wrestled with
it and those who faver the ratification
maintain with considerable strength that

hemisphere We ought 10 set an example
worthy Of our greatness, that We should

was Blocking the negotiations for the ca

more in the way of healing the distrust
which has been created by that affai:
than the adoption Of the treaty.
On the other hand there are those whd
maintain that Colombia has no one to
blame but itself. that II it had been dis.
posed to act justly and considerably il
would not have experienced the loss OF
