Republican Leaders Rejec-

Makes Matters No Worse.
SOME PROGRESS is SEEN
Commentators Declare Both Sides

DUBLIN, February 10.-The rejec-
ton by Liam Lynch. republican chief
of staff, of the peace initiative taken
by Liam Deasy has caused disappoint-
rnent, but there Is a disposition on
the part OF commentators to regard
the situation as having made prog
ress in a pacific direction.
The rejection does not make any
more difficult the task that lay before
the Irish people and the government"
says the Freeman's Journal "On the
contrary, both have shown a readi-
ness to pursue peace if possible by
methods OF Craftsmanship. They de-
manded merely guarantees that
would secure peace when it was won.
Liam Lynch. who owes his liberty
to the Irish generals too trustful ac-
ceptance of his word of honor. insists
that the fratricidal war shall con-
tinue until De Valera's vision of 'ex-
termination is fulfilled We have a
conviction that both these war MAX
ers will be disappointed.
Liam Deasy has rendered this great
service to his country: He has en-
abled it's people to distinguish be-
tween real republicans and mere de-
stroyers. The distinction may be
only a moral one. but even in Ireland
today morality wins. 1t Will not be
defeated by war upon unarmed civil
ians and undefended homes. and it
will vindicate itself. by the agency
of good and brave men, over the orgy
which the ordained spiritual leaders
of Ireland have plainly denounced as
murder. loot and incendiarism."

President at the White House over the
recIassification bill for government
employees, attended by Senator Sterling
of South Dakota and Senator Smoot OF
Utah, it was announced compromise
bill had been agreed upon.
Senator Smoot, who is chairman Oh
the subcommittee of the committee on
appropriations which has been consld-
ering the Sterling-Lehlbach reclassih-
cation bill, said on leaving the Whlte

ella ssificatfon bill would be enacted be-
fore the close of the present session.

$50. 900, 900 would be placed in the de-
flciency appropriation bill, which is
yet to come, to meet the changes In
salary which will be proposed Tor
the government employees under the
reclassification act.
If the reclassifcation bill becomes
a law he predicted the s24O horizontal
bonus for government employees will
be abandoned. In fact. the House ap-
propriations committee has held back
the bonus legislation at this session
so as to give an opportunity for the
passage of the Redistribution bill.
If the reclassification bill does not
mass. then the bonus will be revived.
In the compromise bill agreed
upon by Senator Smoot and Senator
Sterling, the latter being chairman
of the civil service committee and

cation legislation, a new allocating

work on the reclassfication of gov
ernment employees in the District. II
is understood that the compromise bill
will provide that this work done by
the bureau of efficiency shall be made
use of in reclassifying the govern
ment employees in so far as it con-
forms to the reclassif1cation law.
Senator Smoot said that he would
call his committee together as soon
as possible to take action on the bill
and that it would be reported to the
opinion that it would be passed, as
there is a general desire to get such

Business Woman Rules
Dress Standard Changes

ment that soils with one days wear
Women In business have become
sane, sensible, practical They dc
not look less well, less femme. but
they select their clothes to meet the
occasion, stand strain, and choose
those requiring least care and atten-
ton. She has to go out In rain or
shine six days week and meet the
general public of strangers in shop
or office. The recognized standard
for her Is thus the tailor-made suit
or one-piece dress with a mannish
coat made of materials comfortable
as to warmth and dark enough to
escape soil. Wearing out old finery
at work is deplorably bad taste.
Wearing short sleeves, thin transpar.
ent hose on the street or in view of
strangers is not sign of refinement
or common sense.

That the American business women
is responsible for many present fash.
ions. an Inconsistencies means of
forwarding the dress Standardization
movmnt, was dclard by Miss Edna
Avery of the State College of Wash
ington home economics department
in a radio talk over X. F. A. q. on
"Dress Standardization"
She does not think standardization
will come to a general adoption of
boomers or mems clothing, but that
already it has gone long way in the
matter of making women's clothing
suitable, serviceable, appropriate.
"At those seasons when one Is en-
crossed with the days routine, the
best dressed woman and the cultivated
and refined lady will adopt for her
self a standardized dress conforming
to the following principles" she
said: ut will be appropriate to the
work she has to do, hygienic in iii
and texture, durable and hence eco
nomical, inconspicuous and hence no
extreme in cut or transparency of
material, simple in fashion and hence
beautiful in line.
"Year by year the movement to
make woman less slave to her
dress has grown. A dress designer re-
turning from her annual trip to
Europe remarked that American
business women are responsible for
many of the fashions of the day. For
instance, the disappearance of the
separate collar and cuff sets and
fichu and jabot, was caused by the
recognition by the business woman of
the fact that they must be immacu-
late, and she has no time after busy
hours of work to go home and wash
and iron and sew in any dress adorn.

the bins are simply storage bins and
that the bin for the flour, and sugar

satisfactory one.
If the back of the house faces the
