WASHlNGION, D. L., May 10. There Vwere intimations today that administration officials ex- pected early developments in Ge- noa or perhaps later at The Hague which might clarifly the Russian situation sufficiently to permit American participation in some in- ternational project designed to re- store Russia to productivity.
 On what information that feel ing might be based was not indi- cated. It was evident, however, that the exchange of cabled notes with the Genoa conference groups yesterday was regarded as having moved matters at least a step for ward so far as Russia is con cerned.

This is ExcitingI

q know that campaign is coming on. The democrats were in power eight years ago and the people dur ing that time almost forgot how the republicans were so were off their guard at the last election. The diff ference between the leaders of the republican party and the followers of that party is that the masses of the republican party are democrats and don't know 1t. I think there is more independence in politics now than ever before. The republican leaders are reactionary while the re- publican masses are progressive.
 Revenue is Issue
 "Our greatest issue this fall will be the revenue bill. There is divis- ion of the republican party on this subject. The excess profits tax should not be repealed"
 MT. Bryan censured the republican party for not passing the soldier bonus compensation legislation and declared "the republicans can find a way to take off the tax for profiteers who. become wealthy during the war but cannot find a way to pass a bill for the benefit of the soldier boys. There were more millionaires created during the war than all the time since Columbus touched American soil"
 The great difference between the two parties, said Mir. Bryan, IS that the republican leaders think that so- ciety is built from the top and the democratic leaders think it IS built from the bottom and the democrats legislate for the masses.
 Mir. Bryan declared that the farmer and the laboring man today are in the worst shape they have been in 30 years and that the republicans have failed to live up to their possi- bilities. He said he believes that the United States is failing to do its duty by not participating in the Genoa economic conference.
 MT. Bryan said he was pleased to learn that the state conference had endorsed Senator Ashurst and Con- gressman Hayden for reelection.

suMPTuARY LAWS

Laws, now generally obsolete, en-
acted in the supposed interest OF
public morals, to restrain extraya-
gance in private expenditure, espe-
cially in matters of food, dress and
amusements. They abounded in
ancient Greece and Rome, and
found great favor in the legislation
of England from the time of Ed
ward II (13O7-1327) to that of the
Reformation (1517). They existed
in France as early as the time of
Charlemagne (76S-s14), and con-
tinued to be enacted as late as the
seventeenth century; but in neither
country do they appear to have
been enforced to any great extent
Sumptuary laws were repealed in
England in 1856. - Kansas City

COPY THEIR WHITE SISTERS
Alaskan Indian Women Beginning to
Make Garments Like Those Worn
by the Tourists.

Preferring "white lady" garments,
native women in southeastern Alas
ka are buying sewing machines and
developing dressmaking along their
own styles. Besides using women
tourists for their fashion plates
these native seamstresses get many
new ideas from the large mail order
catalogues which burden every
northern dispatch of letters and
printed matter. One of the first
things an Alaskan Indian does after
learning to read and write is to
send for catalogues and circular
literature. The post Offices are
loaded with such matter after each
boat from the south.
Not only are the women learning
to handmade their wearing APP
parel, but they are fashioning and
sewing vests, trousers and caps for
their men folks. Some of the most
picturesque sights at the tidewater
towns are Indian men with their
calico and Bingham vests.
Sewing machines in large num-
bers go north on nearly every boat,
some being transshipped to far in
land points.

Never before has an airplane been
SO luxuriously furnished. Pictures

floor is covered with the unriyaled
carpets Of the East, and the win

SUCCEEDED IN TRAINING CARP
California Man Said to Have Taught
Fish to Perform Number OF
Clever Tricks.

OF all the fish the carp, in pro-
portion to its size, has the largest
brain. 1t is most intelligent crea-
ture, and the following story is au-
thoritatively narrated BY a nat
uralist Of carp that lived in Foun-
tain park, San Jose, Cal. The fish
was in charge Of gardener, whose
duty it was to clean out every week
the basin of the fountain wherein it
lived. AS the man had natural
liking for animals, he quickly won
the confidence Of the carp, and sue
ceeded in teaching it to perform a
number of tricks. Not only would
the creature feed from his hand and
allow itself to be handled, but it
even learned to come toward him
when he whistled. AS its education
proceeded, it was taught to wriggle
out of the water, over the edge Of the
basin, and into the hands of its mas
ter; while, moreover, it would also
pass under and over stick or
through hoops which were placed in
the water, either by swimming in a
normal manner or upon its side. 1t
would afterward progress backward,
and then conclude the entertain
ment by kissing the man as he bent
over the water and placed his lips
just under the surface.
