POLITICIANS IN
RULEOFTHREE'
National Civil Service Reform
League Reports on Post
office Selections.

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Inyestigation
OF the practical working of the rule or
three inausurated by President Hard
ing in the appointment OF rostmasters,
has convinced a committee of the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform League that
appointments fare being confined almost
exclusively to Republicans and they are
made on the recommendations Of Repub-
lican congressman who depend upon To-
cal Republican orga niZations.
1.-The President continues the commit
tee, is indeed entitled to credit in that
he has made all these postofices sub
ject to examination by the Civil Service
Commission. and not merely those yacan-
cies resulting from death. resignation OF
removal, to which they had been limited
by President Wilson's former order and
which contributed only about one-tenth
Of the whole. Thus in all these cases
President Harding has kept out most of
the incompetents, but within the three
highest. as provided by the rule of
three political patronage is still con-
trolling.
I'VE repeat our recommendations that
the rule for appointing the highest man
on the list should he restored and that
the Presidential postmasterships should
he included in the classified Civil Service
Act OF Congress"
The report does not undertake to u7Ies-
ton the authority Of the President IN
maintaining the rule of three" which
gives the executive the choice Of naming
any one of the three highest qualifying
for a pos.ma stership, but it protests that
the real effect OF the rule is to permit
other matters outside the qualifications
of the applicant. such as political or per-
sonal favoritism, to dictate, and thus
lead TO the appointment Of an inferior
man. over those who rank higher in the
qualities essential for good postmaster.

CARE IN SELECTING c0LORs
Becoming coiors for Everyday Clothes for Mother and Daughters Will
 Add to Happiness.

Isn't it more important that every day clothing. both for mother and child should be pretty and becoming than that the Sunday clothes or clothes for special occasions should have all the care? A child that wears a becoming scbool dress will be much more likely to take care of it and learn better habits and will be hap pier child than one who is ashamed of her clothes A mother who wears neat, pretty everyday dresses will be hap pier and have happier family than one who is careless or slovenly or who wears ugly. unbecoming work dresses.
 A becoming color costs no more than an ugly one Care in selecting colors and studying the matter oftcutting the neck in becoming lines or adding pretty collars and pockets or a few stitches of embroidery to a school dress makes all the difference in the world.

LIKE WHITE CREPE DE CHINE
Fabric Choice for Winter Dresses Con-
 tinues Around This Color % Georgette Still Shown.

The fabric choice for winter dresses continues to center itself around crepe de chine, with white the favorite color employed. ThereSis little flesh to be seen, but in small percentage Bisque has little better showing but does mot approach the white in quantity.
 Lately the slightly deeper pastel 4colors have been given more atten- stion, number of the colors being found among the recommended spring shades. Some of these are used in Combination with white, such as f1ame rlnauv1. yellow, red and green, with the softer tones employed also for whole blouse models
 Canton crepe reappeared on the blouse horizon, divided about equally between white and the pastel color ings. It is used especially for sports models designed for travel southward. Georgette Is still shown and has many effective treatments. The waning status of this silk may be gauged to some extent, by the declaration of g0me blouse authorities that it is ssdead." This Is an exaggeration, how ever. as 1t is well thought of and well used by many manufacturers.

NOVELTY SILKS FOR SPRING
Special Attention Given to Fabrics for chiIdren's Wear--Loud PIaids
 for Sports.

Silk manufacturers, believing that women will want simple things in nov city silks next spring, have in conse- unusually well suited to children's needs
 \ In the sport silks, for example, the loud" plaids of sharply entrusted colors and bold designs have yielded to the quiet things suitable for the simple slip-on -frock. so similar to the style affected by the juniors. t# Women are expected to want "a great many fabrics in all-white, or white with one gay color which gives brightness without garishness,. and this, too. helps to make the way of the child's dress designer an easy one. Good taste marks the choice of design and coloring
 One finds here a white crepe de chine. with tiny check of bright red woven or printed on the fabric, and there a light jade green canton crepe with large check made by white cord of artificial silk Many of the sport silks carry out the quiefer giugham ideas in softer effects than are usually found in the cottons. Others use plain or fancy stripes.
 The crepe fancies are probably in the majority for sport wear, and are more suitable for the young dress than the artificial silk materials would be.
 For summery afternoon frocks there are charming printed crepe de chimes, frequently with tiny floral patterns, well spaced on white grounds. The pat terms are in delicate pastel colors, and the youthful, dainty style of these silks make them adaptable for young wear CTS. Paris, sponsoring prints, accord ing to late advice from travellers back from abroad, lends force to this trend.
 As to plain materials, from present indications here and abroad crepe de chine is to be one of the most impor- tant weaves. A number of fine grades of this weave are being made, including one known under the name of cache mire and many other titles. It resem- bles both crepe de chine and radium, having the close, flat appearance of the latter cloth.

TT IS easy to start the day clad in
 cheerful dress whether we begin
 it by frying pancakes in a crisp and pretty house frock or a gay bunga- low apron, or have nothing to do but wear luxurious, but less useful negli- gee. The manufacturers of all these garments undertake to make them as pretty as possible.
 l For morning wear, between the house dress at one extreme and the airy negIigee, at the other, stand those popular and colorful breakfast coats which blossom at the beginning of the day and make it's first meal inspiring. They are made of satin or taffeta and usually such trimming as they have is fashioned of the same materials. in pleatings or ruffles and the like. Small fruits or flowers made of silk provide pretty finishing touches for them.
 One of these breakfast coats of taffe- ta is shown in the illustration above.

INTEREST has not been centered to
 much during the past few. seasons
 on the graceful longtime dresses that have won the devotion of women as on their decoration. Fabrics have been still less important, but the com ing of spring will change all this, so the fashion prophets say-it is to be a colorful season and its rosy dawn is painting the horizon with many hues.
 There is no reason to think that the silhouette will be changed, but even in such durable and usually sedate goods >as English or Scotch tweeds, colors are novel; we find delft blue, sea green and violet among them to be used in suits and tailored dresses. There are some new wool weaves that look like velvet, and several novelty rough effects, and designers think espe- cially well of black and white checks. With all this furore for color the black gown still holds it's own.

DATA ON MARRIAGES
Proportion of Married Men Has
 Gone Up, Says Census.
Probably More Indicative of Change in Age Composition of Population Than Growing Propensity
 to Matrimony.

Washington.-The proportion of mar ried men to the total male population of the country fifteen years of age and over increased from 55.S per cent to 59.2 per cent in the ten years preceding the 1920 census, according to a com pilation of marital statistics made pub- lie by the census bureau. -.
 The bureau believed, however, that this was probably more indicative of change in the age composition of the population-an increase in the percent age of males between fifteen and twenty-five years of age due to in creased immigration-than a growing propensity to matrimony.
 Of the total male population of 53,- 9OO,431 above the fifteen-year classifi- cation the census figures showed 21, S49,266 married, 1, 1,75S.30S widowed and 235, ,2S4 divorced, the latter figure, how ever, including none divorced and re- married. The divorce total showed an increase of 20 per cent in it's ratio to the total population during the ten year period, constituting six-tenths of l per cent of the latter against five tenths in 1910.
 Although due to the absence Of the wives of many foreign-born residents, the number of married women was shown to be about 5O0,OOO less than the male total, the number of divorced women exceeded men by approximately 10000, representing closely the differ ence between the number of men and women remarried after divorce.
 By states, Massachusetts led the field in the proportion of single women with a percentage of 34.4, although the Dis trict of Columbia exceeded this with 37.3 per cent. The census bureau point ed out, however, that the ratio of men to women in the population naturally has a very important bearing on the proportions of single men and women" Wyoming led with 7O.5 per cent in the proportion of married women, while 62.8 per cent was shown for Mississippi and Arkansas, and the smallest, 45.9 per cent, for Nevada.

JUDGE OPPOSES FAT ALIMoNY
New York Jurist Says Divorcee Can't Get All the Luxury She Had
 in Marriage.

New York.-Justice Guy, in the Manhattan Supreme court, told pros pectiye alimony seekers that after n separation or divorce they cannot ex- pect to be supported in the luxurious style to which they became accus- toned during the marriage.
 Ut is not the policy of the law" Justice Guy declared, "that a woman who is asking to end the marriage contract shall have all the luxury of marriage. She is not entitled to one third of her husbands income. She cannot expect alIe the. extras that a loving husband would naturally be- stow upon her if the two were living cOntentedly together"

WAISTLINE IS LOW
Long Bodices Slightly Blousing;
 Pagoda Sleeves.
Silhouette Remains Practically Un- changed in Mid-Wintcr Showings
 by French Dressmakers.

The silhouette remains practically unchanged in the mid-winter Showings of clothes by the French dressmakers, writes Paris fashion correspondent. The waistline is very low--lons bodides are slightly blousing. Skirts flare to- ward the bottom and sleeves are long, the short sleeve being the exception. Sleeves are of the phgoGa type, or they may be caught in at the wrist. There are few tight-fitting sleeves, some full ones with the fullness gathered into the wrist and many that are wide, and straight. Many show fanciful slashings, through which a bright colored undersleeve is re- vealed. Red is still Il favorite color for facing wide sleeves as we'll as for undersleeves.
 The long, floating scarf of con-. trasting color is feature of Jenny's afternoon and evening dresses. Even serge dresses in her collection ex- ploit this idea. Frequently the scarf Is of silk, such as fOulard.
 Skirts are longer, the hem being about six inches from the ground. The perfectly slim. straight skirt is being rapidly replaced by the one of circular cut. In most instances the ripples appear at the sides only, the back and front, hanging in straight lines.
 Hem lines are irregular. The effect of an uneven hem is not obtained through panels as frequently as it was last season. The wide floating panel is passing. It has served it's purpose-that of producing an uneven appearance at the bottom of the skirt.

It has skirt portion in three tiers set together with cord covered with the silk and joined to the body of the coat in the same way. It is simple composition with square pockets, el- bow sleeves and small sailor collar, all using covered cord as finish. These bright colored or changeable silks and satins are pretty with or without fur bellows and frills because of their col or and sheen.
 The silk breakfast coat has newly arrived rivals in other materials and the new morning frocks and apron dresses of plain sateen with decorative features of cretonne-patterned cottcns, look as if they might at least keep pace with them.

Cane Costumes for Sports.

The cape costume has made strides in popularity lately, especially in tweeds and other sports wear fabrics. one shopper wore a brown homespun cape, short at the front and falling be- low the hips at the back, over frock with the brown material for front and back panel and circular sections or brown and white plaid for the sides of the skirt, this plaid also collaring the cape.

The unevenness still is there, but is obtained by the cut of the bottom of the skirt.
 Narrow bands of silk or cloth have replaced panels, and usually hang longer than the skirt It is quite the thing to have these bands of a contrasting material and color from which the dress is made.
