Striped Materials in Black and
White and Checks and
Plaids Find Favor.

IN EPORTS from Paris as to the
TX new fashion displays indicate
that when it comes to spring
materials some designers declare them
selves tired of serge and are urging
wool reps in place of it; others are
faithful to serge as the basis of their
daytime models. Wool reps, serge.
,gabardine and kasha are favorites for
morning. Some striped materials find
favor, such as reps in black and white,
or thin wooden materials checked with
plaids In light tones. Patou special
izes in rep broche," which has a
design in light color or white on
plain colored surface.
Silk suits are so popular that they
cannot be overlooked. Heavy crepes
are used for them, but the new moire,
too, is employed, also some satin, silk
gabardine and silk reps. Premet shows,

Wild Geese Cry Over the
Farm.
-ByFox

Tonight wild geese cry ovcr the farm:
Through mist hung airs they are
southwark flying,
And restless sleepers toss in the night
And In their hearts is something
crying.
The dead leaves drift from lofty trees
Abou the gables, softly falling.
Upon the shingles with no wind
To lift them where the geese are
calling
The farm boy. s.ck OF corn row walls
Who planned to run away to sea,
Then found his roots too deep in soil
Mumbies and losses restiessiy.
His sister, in her room where boughs
Against the gable panes have
pressed.
Sits up in bed. with flowing hair
Flung over longings at her breast.
The old ones OF the farmhouse sleep.
So weary hat the nights wild mood
Is like dead leaves with restless
sounds
Upon a roofs grim fortitude.

Revision of Who's Who.

LGAIN REFERRING TO a very painful subject
u If the proletariat was simply going out 20 rnise
something beginning with a lower case h, why did
they also insist on raising it on the Wabash?
The more you study the results and the fur
of election clerks, the more imperative becomes the
necessity to revise Who's Who in America. The
number of statesmen and reinstatement, formerly
drest in a little brief authority, Just enough 10
permit them TO play fantastic tricks before high
heaven. who have been cast into the discard, is ap-
paning. 1t is also humiliating to those so cast.
The crop of lame ducks in the present congress
was bound TO be large, because of the shooting III OF
a large number of members in the cyclone of 1920,
hut no one expected the public to pick on perma.
nent fixtures like it did.
& However, a kind Providence has seen fit to pro

Lost Illusions.

tsTstERE Is deep and freely expressed anxiety
i over the state of Americas soul" states the
Saturday Evening Post. But there is also will
~ingness on the part of our friends over there to
save it for us. This salvation is not free-in fact,
it is deucedly expensive to be broke and saved than
solvent and damned-as we are-by most of Eu-
rope.
"For we are sunk in sin, if we are to believe
our European critics and some American ones
stepped in ~iniquity; wallowing in ~illgotten wealth;
while Europe, poor but proud, broke but blameless,
is busy with the better, the nobler the higher
things, having already saved her own soul.
"The propaganda is growing a little raw, as we
say in our uncouth American way-a bit thick, as
our sophisticated British cousins put it. Well
informed Americans have never really expected
that the foreign debts would be paid in full. But
they did hope and they had a right to expect that
so long as those debts were manipulated Europe
would cut down her ornaments, reduce her mill
tary expenses, and use the men and the money thus
saved to rehabilitate her nations. But all this
propaganda, these attempts 10
blacken the American character and to ascribe to
the nation unworthy motives and actions of which
it is quite guiltless, are gradually e~ffeeting a
change in public opinion over here.
There is a streak of sentimentalism in Ameri-
cans. quite absent from the European character
where money IS concerned, that is easily played on
BY clever propaganda-and it has been. we may
add. In the past we have fallen for the shame

after -Four Years.

TT is scarcely believable that only four years
L have elapsed since the ending of the war to,
DAYS events celebrate. 1t seems a much longer Tune
because so many events have crowded the few IN
tervening years.
The summer the boys marched away to stop
the Germans from over-rumning the world, regard
less of the brief years, seems, to those who re
manned at home away back in the past. Not SO TO
those who went. More than likely TO them the NOV
perience is scarcely yet fully realized.
We have said that there will be no more war
but the wish is father TO the thought. Ihere
have been ~desultory echoes of war ever since tne
big war ended; and Notwithstanding the worlds
efforts toward peace and our own national de
~votion to it. who dares say that as long as hu.
manity is humanity there will be no more war!
We may throw away the implements and the ma
chinery of wholesale slaughter, but when human
nassions are aroused we will resort to the priml
tive and fight with our hands and clubs.
War equipment rivalries are wasteful and
senseless, but no nation should fail in defensive
preparedness and all nations should discourage
aggression.

The Achievement.

He sought for fame. His life he spent
To rear a fitting monument
Unto his energy and skill.
He cleared the land. He built a mill
Careless OF comfort and Of health
He called for labor and for wealth.
And soon far DER the hilitops rane
The echo of the iron clang;
And man and women gather round
And childish lauEhter's Joyous sound
Was heard amid the mighty din
As trade and fashion BUSTED IN.

With deep respect and think Of me-
