which went with them perfectly. But
after fcw washincs the color began
TO fade, and they looked perfect fri ght
with the shoes. And who can afford to
be buying new colorcd stockings all the
time? ask you. was telling my
wocful tale to man in the shoe store
and he recommended some special soap
for washing silken stockings. The soap
is supposed to keep the color to retain
the luster and even add to the wearing
qualities. 1t is fifteen cents cake.
Bernice wanted to get some silver
grapes to wear with new black velvet

not care to go in very deeply In the

silver leaves for twenty-five cents:
They are really remarkable value and
looked so well with the dress.

The Shipping Bill.
This is taken from a report Of yes

This is taken from a report Of yes
terday's proceedings IN the Senate:
Senator Robinson of Arkansas as
sailed the shipping bill, declaring that
it was unpopular with the people. He
said that before the recent elections
the bill had not been pressed because
taken up they would lose the election.
He said that as a matter of fact the
shipping bill was a campaign issue.
and that more than nifty republican
members OF the House and Senate had
been defeated on account OF that
issue.
If the Arkansas senator was speak
ing i'll general terms he was doing no
more than Is often done in politics.
both inside and outside of Congress
But il his remarks were based upon
statistics: II he has a list of the re-
publican members Of the House and
Senate. who pitched their campaigns
in the key of the ship subsidy bill and
lost, he will greatly strengthen his
side Of the controversy by publishing
it. More than fifty is a considerable
number.
A f1libuster against this measure is
threatened. 1t Is conceded that if al
lowed to come to q vote the measure
will pass.
This bill is not bracketable with the
anti-lynching bill. which a threatened
filibuster has juss defeated. That car
ried. though not justly. sectional
tang. Democratic senators from the
south felt moved to go all lengths
against the Dyer bill.
But there is nothing sectional or
partisan in the merchant marine ques-
ton. and it should not be blocked by
partisan tactics for partisan purposes.
AS for the charge that it is lame
duck legislation" the answer is that
lame duck legislation" is as constitu-
tional as any other. In a sense. all the
legislation Of the session will be Of
the lame duck" variety.

The Fuel Situation.

Washington is beginning to feel the
cramp Of coal shortage and the pinch
of high prices for fuel. Householders
are becoming desperately anxious for
their supply. They are getting small
doles from dealers, at higher prices
than many are able to afford, and with
little or no assurance Of further allot-
ments. a tendency to push the rates
higher appears. and the fact-finding
commission has undertaken an in
quiry, sumnloning several of the local
dealers to ascertain, if possible, the re-
sponsibility for price-boosting. Of
which complaint has been made.
Pleas have been made to household
crs and other large fuel users to adopt
substitutes for anthracite, but the sup
been adequate to prevent high prices
for them as we'll Whichever way the
individual buyer turns he meets for
bidding scale Of rates and reluctant
delivery.
Undoubtedly there is shortage of
anthracite. The mining Of this fuel
was resumed later than in the btu
minous field. Five months Of id!eness
left the stocks in the yards OF dis
tributors exhausted. and the reserve
piles at the mines and the wholesaling
points lowered almost to the ground
level. Nothing but rationing as COM
plete and systematic as possible could
prevent general suffering. Somehow
the rationing process has not been
carried out satisfactorily. 1t has been
possible for some consumers to get all
they require, while others have had
to be content with driblets.
If excessive charges prevail in
Washington, does the fault lie with
the distributor or with the wholesaler:
The fact finding commission should
be able to ascertain. II there is
prof1teering at the expense Of the
shivering and apprehensive public it
should be punished II any possible way
can be found to effect it.
Meanwhile, Washington must have
coal or efficient and sufficient substi-
tutes.

Premiers Fail Again:

Hope that some sort Of a permanent

The basis of an agreement. they have
adjourned their conference until Janu-
ary ., less than two weeks before the
10Th of January, when the moratorium
granted Germany expires and a new
arrangement becomes imperative.
Formal disclaimers that there has
been any breakup Of the entente
serve merely to show the seriousness
If the situation. 1t probably is true
there has been no rupture Of friendly
relations among the allies, but it ap-
pears equally true that, for the time
being at least, Great Britain and
France have found 1t impossible to
cooperate in a policy toward Ger
many.
AS matters now stand, the prospects
are that after German default on
January l5 France viii occupy the
Euhr with her troops. and that such
occupation not only will lack British
cooperation, but that it will have the
positive and open disapproval Of the
British government and people. The
only alternative in sight is that be-
tween now and the middle Of January
the allies may agree upon another
lnakeshift and temporary rcparations
program which will serve to stave
eff the oft-threatened crisis. but will
only prolons the intolerable conditions
which are steadily undermining the
European structure. At this distance
il is difficult to determine whether it

Washington's Water Needs.

Washington's three outstanding wa.
ter problems are stated to be as fol-
lows: To complete in the shortest pos
sible time the new conduit from Great
Falls, now under construction after
many years Of delay; to secure from
Congress SUFFICIENT allotments Of
money annually to mako the neces-
sary extensions in service and trunk
mains to get the water to the users
after it has reached the reservoirs, and
to install a hish.pressure system of
mains in the business section to safe
guard the city from the menace of
great fires.
These three needs, which were
stated in a comprehensive article
printed in The Star Sunday, require
no elaboration. Save possibly for the
last Of them they are accepted at the
Capitol as vitality essential, and no
doubt is felt that those who frame the
appropriation bills will do their ut
most to forward them. Expressions of
this intention are given, and the only
question at present is whether the
amount al5tted for the coming fiscal
wear will be $1,500.000. as proposed by
The budget bureau for the continue
lion Of the initial construction work,
or $1,750.000, as estimated by the en-
sineers as the amount that can and
should be expended during the year.
1t will be a serious error II the work
of constructing the connections and
the additional mains is postponed un-
til the completion Of the conduit. Tho
primary need Is to give Washington
more water as speedily as possible.
Experience has shown that unless

Mr.. Bryan's Alertness.

Mr.. Bryarp is alert-keeps his eye
steadily OH the gun. Whenever ques-
tions unusually interesting are in
hand or under informal discussion on
Capitol Hill he manages to make
Washington for call or brief visit.
He has just paid US call. spent a
day on the hill comforting with friends
and exchanging banter with oppo-
nents, and passed on to the balmier
air Of Florida. He is ever and always
a welcome visitor.
Something new in the way Of gossip
about Mr.. Bryan has grown out Of
the statement that Mr.. Norris OF
Nebraska does not desire another term
in the Senate, and may not care even
to fill out his present term.
This question is asked: If Mr.. Norris
were to resign. would Brother Charles,
who becomes Governor Of Nebraska
January 1, appoint Brother William to
the vacancy.
Two things would appear to make
this unlikely. Brother William Is now
a Floridian-so much so his name has
been canvassed in connection with a
senatorship IN the Peninsula state.
