the farmers. while the republicans are
anxious to get the soldiers bonus bill
off its hand for the political effect that
goes with that bill "All right" the
farm senator will say, you vote for
my bill and I'll vote for your bill"
Those II progressive" republicans
in the house and 7 progressive" re-
publcans and farmer-laborites in the
senate constitute the largest bloc eX-
cept, perhaps, the light wines and beer
bloc. The Interchangeable bloc, the
agricultural tariff bloc, the farm bloc
and half dozen other little blocs find
the lawmakers from the middle west
and west enrolled.
Balace of Power.
The so-called progressive" hold
the balance OF power. They can trade
with the democrats or they can trade
with the republicans to get anything
across They will be able to defeat
any measure on which the republican
and democratic strength is evenly di-
vided.
But the general tendency, say OBJ
servers, will be to do nothing eventtul,
unless it can be helped. because of the
fight coming on to elect the next

Girl Goes 10000 Miles
To Wed on Lonely Isle
Long Voyage and Loneliness of New
Home Have No Terrors.

LIVERPOOL, Eng;-A girls ro-
mantle journey Of 10000 miles to get
married on flaming island, in the
north Pacific, was disclosed when
Miss Margaret Birch, formerly a
London school teacher, sailed aboard
the Cedric to join her fance, Major
Cuthbert Burncullander who is, man
ager of a company on the lonely isle,
engaged in developing Copra exports.
She is accompanied by other officers
OF the same company journeying to
the island. Proceeding to New York
the party will complete the trip from
San Francisco in the company's 800
ton schooner Doris Crane. This craft
will take twenty-eight days to make
the voyage and after that will make
four voyages yearly to keep the com
pany in touch with the mainland Of
America.
Before sailing Miss Birch said the
long voyage and loneliness OF Fan
ming island had no terrors for her.
Her marriage, she explained, would
have to be solemnized by the schoon-
er's captain, because there was no
body else there to perform the cere-
mony. She was sure she could make
happy home, untroubled by fash
ions and would return on leave every
two or three years.

Short Skirts to Barely
Cover the Knee Caps
That Is Latest Decree of Fashion
Kings of Paris

1AAAASo u ~AAO'
PARASITIC opening OF a half
dozen of the most fashionable of the
Paris supper rooms as well as the
first big day at the LongChamps races
gave the autumn crowds OF American,
French and English society women a
chance TO see the winter verdict
short skirts.
In fact skirts this winter are go
ing to be shorter than ever before II
the big couturiers have their way
which does not seem doubtful Since
Thursday night all the smartest sup
per clubs in Paris have staged their
evenings. with the usual crowds OF
the most fashionable personages OF
two continents and with mannequns
to show them what they are going
to wear in few weeks.
In every case the society women
themselves appeared in long gowns
which traied the ground, while the
models just concealed their knee caps
and no more.
Another novelty produced this week
and which as yet has not spread be-
yond the professional model is the
Spanish hip line costume due to the
phenomenal vogue OF the Spanish
singer, Raquel Me1ler Models at the
Ritz dinner dance last night all wore
gowns sharply defined about their
hips and faring from their hips to
lust beneath their knees.
Decollctte, which has been pro-
nounced for two years, also has sud
denly become extreme so that dresses
give the effect of using about one
fourth OF the material necessary for a
gown this summer.
The first reaction to the very short
skirts has not been particularly hos
pitable since a large number of Paris
visitors bought their winter gowns in
August when the couturiers had not
yet made up their minds to shorten
them.

MINORITY CLIQUES
BLOCK CONGRESS
GROUPS, DIVIDED BETWEEN
TWO MAJOR PARTIES, HOLD
BALANCE OF POWER.

Now that the sixty-eighth congress
Is in session in Washington, D. c.,
what can be expected of it? Political
observers say nothing much.
For one thing they say that next
year is a presidential year and no con-
gress does things just before a ma
tional political campaign,
Let things be pretty much as they
are. is the word passed along the
Legislative halls And just now the
democrats, who are about equally di-
vided with the republicans in con-
gress, are content that the republicans
go ahead about as they choose III the
hope that they will hang themselves,
as a prominent democrat put it.
Division of Strength.
When it comes to carrying out their
legislative program, if they have any
the republicans will find no serious
opposition from the democrats. But
there are the several blocs to con
slider and also that small group OF
middle west and western senator's and
representative who style themselves
as "progrssives'
The senate is divided politically as
follows Republicans, 81; democrats
43; farmer-1abor 2. The republican
strength, however, includes such sen
ators as LaFolette, Norris, Brook
hart, Ladd and Frazier, who will not
vote with the republicans on every is
sue that comes up.
The same holds true in the house,
where II republicans are classed as
doubtful. If they vote with the demo
Gratis they assure the latter majority.
Now political observers say, this
will be the result-the farm bloc is
asking support of all measures which
thev claim will reduce the burdens Of

 The beirlooms are priceless. The value of one million pounds placed upon them is only nominal. and prob ably represents only about so per cent of their value. One matchless d;adcm. worn by the ex-Empress Zita. was set with four of the only eight pink diamond5 known to exist.
