republicans do not seem to be of the

be inclined to support progressive

President Coolidge has evidently
strengthened himself with the repub-

taken on principal issues confronting
the country in his message to Con-

very attractive as q presidential can

DES MONIES. Iowa, December s.
Members of the Iowa legislature laid
aside most of the heavy work Thurs
day afternoon to read the text ot
President Coolidge's speech.
Many and varied were the remarks
passed by these lawmakers who are
assembled for the revision of the
Iowa code. The members of the farm
bloc were unanimous in thor .tr-
proval of his stand on the Mellon
plan of tax reduction. There was
no protest from them on ANY of the
points taken up by the President.
Another band composed of the eN-
service men in both houses and their
friends were very much disappointed
in his stand on the soldiers bonus.
This group was in the minority, W
ever, which was proved in the elec-
tion of speaker pro tenn in the
house when Representative ontj-s,
who is considered by republicans of
the state as against the eN-soldier
movements, was elected over Rep
Tesentative Doolittle. who has been
and who was "A lieutenant during the
WEr.
The more prevalent feeling among
the republicans was with the Pres
ident on all of his stands. Many TX
pressed the opinion that he would

were not in favor of some of mis-
stands admitted that they would voce
for him for President.
Ex-SoIdiers DispIcaxed.
outside the state house in many
places the message attracted wide
attention. Ex-service men all over
Jhe state were loud in their denunci-
alton of his stand against the bonus
hut when pinned down admitted that
they would probably vote for him.
Many of the veterans were not dis
appointed. They stated that they ex-
pected him 10 express a sentiment
against the bonus and we're really
not in favor of the bonus at this
time
Proceedings in South Dakota in
tho past week might nislead poll
1icians in other parts o! the United
states who might he prone 10 accept
the action there as an indication OF
what will happen in other central
western states. This was the belief
OF number of leading politicians in
iowa who pointed out that senti-
meut in that state was widely diff
ferent from that OF some of the
other states.
Whether Coolidge will gain or lose
strength by his stand on the bonus
Is uncertain this early, but il was
the general opinion after his message
now than ever and that people s,d-
mired him for taking this stanI in
the face of what was considered a
popular storm of criticism il he took
the action he did on the bonus.

Some Hints On
Spring Dresses
Long White Gloves and
Evening Gowns Again
Become Popular


Become Popular
New York, March 12.-Among
the swagger sport costumes worn
at the southern beaches at present
the pleated gray silk crepe skirts
with gray MILDLY blouses mono
grained in bright colorS command
their share of attention.
The fashionable women who at
tend the opera are again wearing
long white gloves with tho short
sleeved evening gowns. For the
past two seasons gloves have been
conspicuously absent, but recently
the sixteen inch length glove is
noticed both on older matrons and
the debutants.
#
Iddidescent voiles which come
in shades of red and blue, gold
and tan, lavender and rose and
numerous other two toned effects
will be used a great deal during
the summer months. They re-
semble somewhat the changeable
organdies having The same two
toned sheen.
Bandana blouses which are
straight lined affairs resembling
the MILDLY in line are worn with
the white sport skirts at the re-
sorts.
Paris is sill favoring the small
cloche shape hats in colors-to-
bacco brown, black and beige. So
far the straw hat had not made
a definite appearance in Paris, as
women are clinging to the suedes
and felts trimmed in side clust-
ers and pom-poms of ribbon.
Fruits and flowers are shown on
many of the advance hats from
Paris and it is said that the COM
ing season will see much of them.
The moss rose is especially good.
At present where flowers are used
they are placed tightly against
the crown, surrounded by moss
or leaves and covered with tulle so
that a heavy embroidered effect
is obtained.
Coat dresses made of horizont-
ally embroidered silks and cloth
materials will be popular for the
spring street costumes. They have
lapel collars and cuffs of fur and
use the side hip fastening. Mink,
kolinsky, summer ermine and
squirrel are the favored furs US
ed on these coat frocks.
The fringed bang is worn by
many women who have decided
to give up bobbed tresses. The
hair is parted in the middle or at
one side with a fringe of bangs
coming over the forehead. The
bob is then curled downward and
concealed beneath long switch
of false hair, which is wrapped
about the head in Grecian fash
ion. This makes an admirable
head-dress for evening wear where
the undignified bob is decidedly
out of it's element.
A gown which, owing to it's
present popularity, will be re-
peated during the summer months
is the long-bodied organdy frock
with the full skirt trimmed in
bands of wide velvet ribbon of
a shade darker than the organ
dy. Ribbon forms the tiny sleev-
es and outlines the rounded neck.
In grayish blue this gown would
be most attractive for summer
afternoon affairs.
Pleated skirts will rule over
the plain skirts for a sport wear
and when worn with short jack
cts, they often have their waist
lines gathered on elastic bands

him to the leaders as a serious con-

The veteran national committeeman
said Henry Ford has shown "surpris-

he does not think the automobile man
will be candidate at the head of a
third party.
Regarding the "wetness" of the
next Democratic platform, Mack said

Democratic anyway.
