NIHEN springtime is in the air,
w when birds carol their happy
notes and white flowers are bursting
into bloom, then it is that fancy
lightly turns TO frocks. a survey OF
the new fashions makes glad the
heart, for in them we find our hopes
realized In that the continuance OF
the vogue for graceful crepes is as
surcd. The lines are rs simple as
ever, tie loose, soft straight effects
predominating. and that means we
can all continue to look youthful.
There is much of the French spirit
reflected in the collection of gowns AT
various opening displays. That is, the
semi-dress effects are noted, attained
not so much i'm elaboration as In mar
yelous colOrs.
Panels are very much in evidence
and many Of these are beaded An
other feature is the use or coarse hand
crochet lace dyed 10 match the dress.
This use of lace constitutes one of
the delights of the spring modes.
Both sleeves and girdles are vastly
important details. The gown itself

Jokes In Architecture.

The builders Of the old churches in
England were not so serious but that
they now and then perpetrated joke,
even In stone. On more than one of
their creations they carved in relief a
scene representing a monk preaching
solemnly to a flock Of geese. The same
humorous spirit is sometimes to be
detected In the domestic architecture
OF early times. Here Is an instance:
Just upon the boundaries of Bed
Yorkshire and Hertfordshire formerly
stood a rambling old farmhouse. The
living room was long and low, and
on the center beam that went across
the ceiling was Inscribed this legend /:
IF you are cold, go to Hertfordshire. "
This seemingly inhospitable invita-
ton was explained by the fact that
one-half Of the room was In one county
and one-half In the other. The fire.
place was In Hertfordshire.

$S,826,OO0 SLATED
FOR PACIFIC SLOPE

Washington, D. c. - Appropriations
totaling $8,S26,0O0 for reclamation
projects in Pacific slope states we're
recommended to congress by Presi-
dent Harding in presenting the budget
for the next fiscal year.
These appropriations were divided
by states as follows:
Idaho, 100000; Oregon, $1.400,-
900; Washington, $1,357,000; Arizona,
$3.50, 900; California. $54s,O0O; Nevada,
$736,O00; Utah, $4,000; Oregon and
California jointly, 100000; Nebraska
and Wyoming, jointly, $1,420,OO0.
The budget for the fiscal year be-
ginning July l, 1928, provided for ap-
propriations aggregating $S,O7s,940 1881
for the operation of the federal gov
ernment by President Harding.
The total estimate is $195,298,359
less than the appropriations already
made for the current fiscal year. This
reduction was made possible, the pres
ident said in message accompanying
the budget, by pursuing a policy en-
phasizing the need of more rigid eco
nomy in the expenditure of public
funds"
He took occasion at the same time,
however, to warn congress that fur
ther slashes would not be approved
by the administration.

OLD STRUGGLE IS ENDED
Irish Constitution IL Approved BY
House Of Lords.

London.-The centuries-old struggle
between England and Ireland ended
when the legislation giving the sane
tion of law to the new settlement with
Ireland passed its final stages in the
house of lords, which for generations
has bitterly opposed any accommoda-
tion with Ireland.
There now only remains royal as
sent, matter Of formality, and every
thing will be ready for the new Irish
government to come into existence
with excellent omens in the expressed
desire even of many of the "die hard"
statesmen in England to give 1t every
opportunity to succeed in its work,
The appointment of Timothy Healy
as governorgeneral Of the Irish free
state is recognized as an auspioious
event. Mr.. Healy throughout his po-
litical career has been one of the
strongest opponents of British con-
nection and therefore cannot be sus-
pected of the slightest sympathy with
British views antagonistic to Ireland

LUSITANIA CARRIED
NO ARMS OR TROOPS
None of Liners Load Consid-
cred Explosive, According
TO Official Report.

New York.-The Cunard liner Lusi-
tania, sunk by German submarine in
1915 off the Irish coast, carried neith-
er guns, troops nor explosives, but did
carry 5400 cases of ammunition, the
official report of the vessels cargo
made public by Dudley Field Malone,
collector of the port at the time,
shows, according to copyrighted
story in the New York World.
The Malone report, the newspaper
Paid, was made to Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo. 1t was dated June
4, 1915, and was called for after the
German reply of May 28 to President
Wilson's first Lusitania note of May
13 had set up the contention the
Lusitania had been armed and that
her rapid sinking was due, not to the
torpedo, but to the explosion of am
munition.
Mr.. Malone said he had determined
to give out the text of the report be-
cause Of still insistent appeals to him
for information regarding its contents.
The report states that when the
Lusitania sailed from New York, on
May /, 1915, on her last trip to Eng
land, she did not have any guns ef
any caliber or description on any
deck, mounted or unmounted, masked
or unmasked.
II any individual rsservists of any
nationality sailed on the Lusitania on
this trip they did SO as individuals,
paying their own passage and receiv-
ing their own individual tickets.
Referring to the question Of the
presence of explosives on the liner,
the report said that the ammunition
set forth as part Of the cargo did not
contain explosives within the inter-
probation of the statutes and regula-
tions as interpreted by the depart
ment of commerce in the ruling pre-
viously quoted.
