DEMOCRATIC PARTY STANDS FIRM FOR
 LEAGUE, SAYS COX
Calls "Abandonment" of Allies Un-
 worthy Episode.

Dayton. O., Oct. 1.-The democratic party stands 'infiexible, as we did whel the polls closed last November for the league of nations with the United States as a cooperative part of it." former Governor James M. Cox, democratic presidential candidate last fall, declared in message sent to the Democratic Club of Southern California, banqueting at Los Angeles.
 History Wiss record the abandonment of our allies as an unworthy episode, ; the message continued. Tt would have been no worse if our troops had been withdrawn from France on the morning of the battle of Chateau Thierry.'
 The message follows =
 Let me extend my felicitations to the members and guests of your organiza- tion. The events of the past year, not withstanding they brought defeat at the polls. are heartening to the cause of democracy.
 Tn the midst of chaos internally and uncertainty in republican policy, we stand, inhexibly as we did when the polls closed last November, for the league of nations, with the United States as CO., operative part of 1t. It IS infinitely better to maintain a vital principle, even though it involve temporary setback, than 1t is to surrender honor to expediency for the mere purpose of winning an election. History will record the abandonment of our allies as an unworthy episode. It would have been no worse ii our troops had been withdrawn from France on the morning of the battle of Chateau Thierry.
 The spectacle of regarding the Hay Pauncefot treaty as a scrap of paper just as we begin conference with a group of nations of disarmament, is a sad commentary on the behavior of a country whose life and traditions have been above reproach. Apparently the national administration IS guided Ill its nondescript policies by the un-Amerlcan elements that made its election possible: We are not renegade nation and we will not for long permit ourselves so to ap- pear to others Good faith in our rela- tions will endure as a private and a national virtue. When sober reflection brings proper understanding to our pa thetic status i'll world affairs, vind1cat1on of the democracy will be expressed III no misleading terms.

UND|ES IN TINTS
Many Shades Are in Demand for
 the Lingerie Sets.
Put Forth Almost Limitless Num- ber of Models.

If the conservative woman of fashion has paid any attention to the trend toward colored underwear dur ing the last few years she has had many surprises, notes a Paris fashion correspondent. To those who would never dream of using any material but fine white linen for their lingerie the increasing use of underclothes of the most perishable materials of every color under the sun comes as bit of shock. There is, however, a tremen dous demand for these things. If there were not, the best designers and the greatest dressmakers would not spend their valuable time in putting forth an almost limitless number of models embodying ideas of this sort.
 In a recent rousseau Mime. Jenny of Paris made lingerie sets in pale or. ange, light mauve and pearl gray crepe de chine. She used no embroidery or hemstitching, but narrow baby ribbons Of the same tone were threaded through all the edges. An amusing note was the fiuted frills which edged the bottoms of the culottes and also
 
 Every piece was embroidered with the Rearer's monogram in the same tone. There is great vogue in Paris at the present time for monograms designed by well-known decorative artists.
 Lanvin shows a nightgown of pink crepe de chine embroidered in silver, having a deep plaited yoke and plait- ed sleeves. On the left shoulder is an embroidered motif of flowers in the French national colors. Another fan ciful Lanvin model is a nightgown of dark orange crepe de chine with high collar and long sleeves drawn into tight band at the wrist. This gown buttons down the left side from the tep of the collar to the waistline.
 Very fantastic in design and colors are the new lingerie sets of triple voile or colored linen or those of white linen trimmed with celor. Or they may be of linen in a solid color with the garniture in a contrasting shade.

 The number of persons out of work in the state was estimated at about 300, 900 by E. Leroy Sweetser, state commits sioner of labor and industries. He said unskilled labor was hardest hit at pres ent, and the next class is that of clerks.

ence brought sunshine and JOY

that his pastorate has added
more to the upbuilding of ouI
church than any previous pas
tor, and that the church, Sunday
school, league and prayer meet
ing are in splendid shape to g
forward in the work of greater
service.
CDR. Mcclure made an an
nouncement from his pulpit OF
Sunday morning, August 2Sth
that after careful and prayerfu
consideration by himself ant
his good wife, they had decide,
it would be best that they no
return to Sedalia for anothe
year.
Therefore Be 1t Resolved
That in view Of the above, We
members OF the official boarC
and trustees Of above church d
hereby express to DR.. w. ]
Mcclure and his good wife on
sincere appreciation for tn
/ good services he has rendere
rs daring his stay with us, an
to assure him that it has bee
a great pleasure to work wit
Ihim. and wherever he may cas-
his lot, we shall ever wish an
/ pray for him the richest bless
ing, the most fruitful harvel
] and all the joys Of this lif0."
