WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. c., April 15.-Anoth-
er special election in the strongest
Republican territory, in northern New
York State, has given the party cause
for serious misgivings. In 1920 the
district gave a Republican majority
of almost 10000, but in the election
held the other day the Republican
candidate was thankful for one-tenth
that much. On the same day New
Britain, Conn, went Democratic for
the first time in a long stretch OF
years.

Boil WeeYil Examines Day Light Dew
POiSOner.

Mr.. J. NJ. Brasington the inventor OF
the Daylight Dew Boil Weevil Poison
er is worried about an occurrence which
happened at his plant yesterday.
He brought one of his poisoning
machines from the storing room to
demonstrate it and found seated on
top of the machine a full grown boil
weevil.
The Weevil escaped and now Mr..
Brasington is fearful lest this be a
scout from the hordes hiding back in
brush sent to spy on his wonderful
death dealing apparatus. However,
he says they will have to all get gas
masks to beat his machine and he is
counting on saving Marlboro and
Chesterield's crop this season before
they can get masks enough to go
around.

The claim of the Washington Post,
whose editor left the party of his
fathers for the social entree at the
White House, that Liberty Bonds
have returned to the vicinity of par
because of the wonderful government
tai economies of the administration,
is considered very good joke in
which would show that up to date the
Congressional appropriations are run
ming a neck-and-neck race with those
of last year, but enjoying small lead.
It is also worthy of comment that
Liberty bonds are not alone in the
advance; every bond listed on the
New York Stock Exchange is higher
than last year, as we'll as almost every
single stock. Last September this
writer directed attention to the situa-
tion and stated that Wall Street was
preparing to celebrate the election of
Harding with big market, and
asked the reader to cut out the quo
tations on the New York Stock En-
change and compare with those six
months and year later. The repre-
sentative rail and industrial stocks
is more than $40 per share. The
boarded surplus of capital in the cit
les has brought the eastern money
rate down to the vicinity of per cent
and in that condition the Liberty bond
is naturally in demand by the holders
of large amounts of idle money.

To a WOuld-be Poet.

We have received a poetical COM
from a lady at Cneraw.
We are glad to find poetry cultivated
in that youthful city-but We think
the specimen with which we have
been favored not sufficiently ripened
for the fastidious people of Charles
ton; and we cannot allow "a Lady,
on any occasion to be roughly handled
by critics, or anybody else.

The bill for the bogus bonus is
still in doubt. At present it is strug-
Cling with the much-amended tariff
bill to see which shall gain the right
of way in the Senate. There is little
chance that the soldiers will be lucky
enough to have the bonus provisions
so changed that they will not have to
pay interest to the bankers. The
financial interests will see to 1t that
they either receive a sales tax as the
price of their consent of the bonus
will only be obtainable after paying
tribute to the banks.

The smartest women are wearing
color instead of black.

Navy has replaced black to a con-
siderable degree, frequently bright
ened by highly colored and decorative
sleeves. -.
One sided effects, trimmings, and
openings characterize the majority
of coat dresses worn.

Some of the dress matching slippers
are without straps, cut low in front,
with bead embroidery in the shape Of
a half moon at the toe.
Short sticks Of ebony and ivory
are carried with the sports suits at
West Point, Sleepy. Hollow and other
Westchester clubs.
A matron's hat in oval turban
shape had a soft silk crown Of violet,
while the cuff was about six inches
wide, made entirely of silk violet, and
single pink silk rose was posed a
the side.
One button gloves of yellow
stitched with black, are worn with
the long sleeyed dresses.
~
With the all black chiffon dresses
worn by the young girls are black
jet bracelets above and below the ell
bow, and rings of cut jet on the first

A very smart woman on the Ave
nue. the other day attired entirely in
black, wore a chemise type frock Of
crepe de chine with short cape OF
the same fabric, both the hem of the
skirt and that of the cape bordered
very deeply, about seven inches, in
veined velvet leaves that hung
loosely for the entire border.
Many draped turbans of black
crepe de chine and black georgette
are being seen about town, all of
these very tightly wrapped and finish
ed by a loop and streamer of the
fabric from one side. 1t is noticeable
that not even the customary pin of
Jewels is worn with these toques,
which are left entirely without trim
mings other than their own Fabric.
