Road Bill Defeated
Some discussion resulted over
Senate bill No. 1919, by the commit
tee on highways, bridges and ferries,
seeking to fix standard width Of
roads to be constructed and fixing
that width at not less than sixty-six
feet nor more than 100 feet.
Northern senators in counties
bordering on the Indian reservation
announced they had difficulty in
getting a fifty-fot roadway thru
reservations and felt it would be i'm
possible to get sixty-six feet and
several southern senators voiced OPP
position to the bill 1t met defeat
by vote of FL to 1S.
A unanimous vote was given to
House bill No. 100 by SeversOn,
which extends permission to the
state land board to extend time for
payment of rent on state land leases
due in 1921 and 1922 to October I
of each year.
The finance committee of the sem
ate reported Senate bill No. IS by
Burkey, with the recommendation
that it do not pass. This bill would
create a veterans welfare commits
sion which would render assistance
to disabled veterans Of the world war
and their dependents and appropriate
$500, 900 for the purpose.
Committee Gives Views
This committee, in its recommen-
dalton, stated that it had examined
numerous former service men on the
measure and their opinion was
divided. The committee also felt
that the veterans are being or would
be taken care Of thru national legis-
lation. The measure has the backing
of the American Legion Of Idaho.
Governor D. w. Davis exercised
his veto power when he applied the
axe to Senate bill No. So, which pre-
scribed the requirements for profess

by striking out the examination re-
quirements and the government

that reason that he refused to sign it.

was passed by vote Of "a to s, the
public utilities commission is given
power to fix the rate of tolls which
may be charged over any bridge or
ferry. The bill passed without dis
cussion.

There are many Orchardists today
who believe that the growing Of al

It is much to be preferred to the clean
cultivation that was SO long favored

It Is an enjoyable, If not profit
able pastime, to the owner to exhibit
his best animals at fairs and shows,
but when they are returned to the
farm, as well as others that may have
been purchased, they should be segre-
gated for a period that will Insure
their freedom from contagious dis
eases to which they may have been
exposed.

MAKING THE MENDING EASY
Have Set of Pegs Conveniently Spaced
on Board to Accommodate
spooIs and Balls.

The best possible way to keep spoois
of thread and mending cotton is on
set Of pegs that will tit into the hole
in the middle Of the spool or bali.
You can buy these, though the spooi
holders offered for sale usually nave
only three or four pegs. You shouid
have at least dozen. A good home
made device is to get narrow
smooth board, perhaps 10 inches long
and three or four inches wide. This
Won may make smooth by finishing It
with enamel paint. In this you should
drive long, heavy nails an inch and
half apart. You might drive two rows
of these if your board is wide enough.
Drive them just far enough IN TO
make them secure. On these nails
YOU can place your threads and mend

in Berlin or at both places which will
outline the treaty plan.
The new treaty will necessarily be
very similar in many provisions to
the Versailles pact, but, Of course, it
will not contain any mention what
ever of the League of Nations.
Nor will it contain any of the other
provisions of the Versailles Treaty to
which objection has been made by
the country. 1t will have nothing to
say about European boundaries in
which this country has no interest;
with the ahantung deal, by which that
Chinese province was handed over to
Japan; with British sovereignty in
Egypt, or any other attempted world
settlement to which the United States
has no desire to become party.
Secretary Hughes at first RECON-
mended to President Harding that the
Treaty of Versailles be sent back to
the Senate for ratification with amend
ments. He drafted long list OF
amendments, designed to eliminate
from that document all features objec-
tionable to this country. But the
President was not convinced that that
was practicable course.

LACE IN BLACK AND White
Material Lends Conveniently to
Looped Effects-Tendency to
React From Dyed Laces.

Panels, loops or draperies that hang
below the skirt give an effect of full
ness without actually widening the
skirt, as they also give the appear
ance of greater length, although in
many instances the length Of the skirt
has not been increased. For fashion
has quite definitely decided that skirts
must be heightened, and has also made
an unsuccessful struggle to widen
them.
Laces lend themselves well to looped
effects, although they bring us to
slightly different sort of evening
dress from the simple crepe de chine
things. While the lines may be sim
slar and the draping done in much the
same way, the effect cannot fail to be
dissimilar, because the fabrics are so
unlike.
There is tendency to react from
the dyed laces, although this does not
mean that they are not used. Guam

PROHIBITION AND INSANITY.

New ork-"Prohibition has, I be-
lieye, caused more insanity than the
World War. My observation shows
that insanity is on the increase, and it
is largely due to the character of the
liquors drunk by those who, hitherto
addicted to alcoholic stimulant, now
drink whatever they can get.''
This statement was made by DR..
Perry Lichtenstein, resident physician
at the Tombsy prison, after, testifying
before 2 commission inquiring into the
mentality of Philip Murba, 4S years
old, under indictment for assault. He
stated that he believed Murba to be a

Treaty Will Be

Washington. = Complete peace by
treaty between the United States and
Germany is in sight.
Monday was the seventh anniversary
of the beginning Of the World War.
When a treaty between Germany and
this country has been signed and ratl-
fed, the war will officially come to an
end. Her other former enemies have
made peace through the Treaty OF Ver-
sailles.
It now seems certain that separate
treaty will be signed and ratified by
Germany and the United States. Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary of State
! Hughes have practically agreed that
the Versailles document will not be
used.
Negotiations have been in progress
for several weeks between the State
Department and the Berlin Foreign
Office, through Loring Dressed, the
American Commissioner at Berlin,
looking toward a separate treaty.
Through Mr.. Dressed the State De-
partment first approached the German
Government to learn it's attitude to-
ward a separate peace treaty which
would carry out the provisions of the
Knox Porter peace resolution, reserv-
ing to the United States all of the
rights and privileges granted to the
other belligerents in the Treaty of Yer
sailles to which the United States is
entitled as one of the victors in the
war The German Cabinet has re-
ceived these inquiries with favor and
offered no objection to the American
plan. -
That much accomplished, the next
step in the pourparlers was, to con-
slider the economic features of the pro-
posed treaty in detail. The German
| Cabinet is meeting the wishes of the
United States at every point, and with

IN EVENING T0CS|
Flaring Skirts Prove Only Weak
Whim of Fashion. :
Straight-Line Dress Still Triumphant
Greek Drapery Provides Note
of Beauty.

The Greek idea is firmly established
In summer evening dresses. There has
been considerable talk Of fiaring
skirts, and number Of them have
made their appearance in the shops,
but, as predicted, cites a fashion crit
ic, they have proven to be only whim
of fashion, and the straight-line dress
still is triumphant. 1t would be i'm
possible in the entire annals Of fash
ion to find anything more beautiful
than the clothes built on the natural
lines Of the body.
While dresses for daytime wear may
he on perfectly straight lines, some
draping usually is required for models
designed for the evening, and in these
we are becoming more familiar with
the beauty of Greek drapery at Its
best-that is, when the cloth was laid
In natural folds.
There is no more reason why an
evening frock, any more than one IN
tended for the morning, should be
fussy. Happily, the days when this
was considered necessary are pasSeu.
Nothing could be lovelier than the
white and silver evening dresses Gre
ated for this summer. They are
very straight Of line and high OF
neck in the front, but With the dec
olletage cut extremely low in the
back and standing away from the
body in some mysterious way, so that
while the front of the neck appears to
fit rather snugly the back is loose.
The dresses themselves are much
like the continuously popular chemise
exceet that they are draped slightly
to, the figure at the sides. A wide
sash of the white fabric, which usual
ly is soft silk, may girdle such

fall loops of the silk the same width
as the sash and lined with silver
cloth, as is the girdle, which ties in the

the skirt as desired, If the dress is
intended for formal wear the ends OF
the sash may form square or pointed
trains. Both emerald green crepe de
