TREND OF FASHION
N WclrN nERRilL eMERv

It is really amazing how very lit- tie change is required to make the peasant costume suitable for mod ern wear. In it's original guise it is not appropriate but certain of its details have been incorporated. into frocks and blouses with results that are more than satisfactory.
 Gay colorful embroideries lend themselves well to the decoration of frocks of voile, fine cotton crepe and silk and there is . grace and charm about the wee, pleats put in by hahd that distinguishes them from those pressed in by machine.
 In several collections of models for the sout'. these peasant dresses occupied a noticeably conspicuous position. Is G
 Those. for southern wear are of sheer white voile, very fine cotton crepe and crepe de chine in pastel colors. Vivid flowers done in silk appear on the sleeves and Gheir coiors are repeated in the exceed ingly dainty shocking around the, neck and wrist bands. Deeper shocking adjusts the fullness of the skirt to the figure and the ma terial is then laid in the finest pleats.
 Quite as interesting is another model of black crepe. This follows the long slim lines of the moment but shows it's peasant origin in the border of flowers done in gay wools that finishes the bottom of the skirt. A small embroidered motif is placed just below the point of a V neck line and similar motifs appear on ene shou. ueii, slightly heightened to extend down over the arms for about two inches. This takes the place of sleeves. The dress is lined with red crepe and the sash is of red bound at each edge with black.

DOING WHAT YOU DISLIKE

A mother writes us that she is very much worried
because her young son doing poorly at arithmetic IN
but she fears he will never be able to master arithmetic
The trouble probably is in one Of two reasons.
First Arithmetic is taught in the most interesting
possible to reach the child Educators long since
realized that making subject interesting is the key to
arousng mental perception and making study indelibe in
memory But this particular lad be of the

What is the renedy We suggest getting this lad inter-
ested in figuring baseball percentages Or, he likes to
play store at home, encourage him keep books his

Baseball has greatly increased the average boys know

more probable explanation that this lad not inter-
ested in mathematics for the simple reason that ne
mot cut out for it, There is such thing as having no
Arithmetic sense"ust people learn to
play cards. not having "card sense" o.,@
AS long the boy reasonably bright in other studies
don't worry too much if he is backward at arithmetic
Chances when he strikes out in the world for himself he
will follow the line of work he likes best And not being
good at figures he'll hire to do his figuring for

WOULD STOP DISTURBANCES

Editor Tribune:
At the graduation exercises Mon
day night at the Auditorium the
customary disturbance took place in
the upper part of the house while a
fine violin selection was being rem
dered. To those attending exercises
Of this kind at the Auditorium this
practice of boys running around dur
ing the program has become thing
to be expected.
This takes place regularly and al
ways spoils an otherwise enjoyable
evening.
This disturbance not only in/-
feres with the audience but also in
terferes with those who SO cheer
fully provide the entertainment.
1t seems to me that it would be
appropriate to station couple of
men in the upper part of the house
with canes and with the power to
use them if found necessary.
This would have a quieting in
fluence on those that make this
noise and those that 60 to the enter
tainment would then be permitted to
get the most out of the program.
Lets have order upstairs.

RUINOUS EXPENDITURES

Taxation in one form or another
is of probably more passing import
ance in domestic affairs than any
other subject.
Current expenditures in all units
OF government are at or near rec
ord breaking levels. State and ma
tional debts total about $4,000
100000 - unequaled in the history
OF the country.
In 1894 the per capita, levy for
public needs was $3.50. Today it
It approaching SIS, and, unless
there is an awakening to the sig
nifiCance OF further injudicious
spending. 800 annually for every
man. woman and child may not be
far off.
In 1919 state and federal tax bills
combined amounted to $2,194,000,-
900. In 1922. four years after the
end of the World War and when
economy should have been making
itself felt, the sum was $7O61,-
100000. 1t is near that now, indl-
eating that whatever has been done
in some directions to reduce eX-
penses has been Offset by prOdlgal-
ity in others.
The United States is wealthy, bat
it's resources are not ineXhaustible.
Senator Borah thinks that unless
Congress takes different attitude
toward public money, which can be
made available in no other way
than through collection from the
purses of citizens. the end of the
present session will see an addi-
! tional national obligation of 3d.

1t may he that such a sum al
ready has been added by the voting
of a bonus. the treasury estimate

being 4,S56,750,0S7. Even the
lowest estimate is $2,119,0OO,O0O.
Then a bill increasing pensions has

Congress, by voting so decisively
for a bonus. implies that the treas
ury is an inexhaustible storehouse
to be filled. when depleted, by some
magic process. Far from retrench-
ing so that the necessary burden
OF war OUTLAWS might be more
quickly lightened. legislators are
adding to that load.
They are now preparing to con-
ciliate the public by voting tax
reduction of perhaps s25O,OOO.OOO
annually, thinking that the people
will accept that as an equitable
offset for an increased future eX-
penditure Of possibly 90 times as
large. That alone endangers the
permanency Of the tax decrease

PARTY DRIFT

Congress is no Logger under Re-
publican Party control. The Sen
ate is lost to it, and the admins
tration's tax policy has been over
thrown in spite of the extraordi-
nary approval given it by the peo-
pie at large. Business was prac-
tically unanimous for the Mellon
plan, but its pleas have been
flouted by Democratic and radical
senator's who have united against a
conservative taxation policy.
Thus the sure drift of the Repub-
lican Party to conservatism and Of
the Democratic Party to radical
ism, is distinctly visible. The taAa-
ton measure is not the only indi-
cation of party trend. The Bursum
pension bill, the soldier bonus bill,
the McNary-Haugen farm products
price-tiXing bill, and the Barkley-
Howell bill drawn to keep beth
public and government influence
out of rail labor disputes, and re-
store strike terrorism, are all radl-
cal measures which depend on
Democratic support along with the
radicals who have divorced them
selves from Republican Party au-
thority because the hate President
Coolidge's policies, already en-
phatically endorsed by the great
body of his party in the presiden-
tial primaries.
This column has repeatedly
spoken of the decline of party au-
thority in recent years and its prob
able results. Now We have one OF
the results predicted-an alliance
OF two minority groups to form q
working majority which favors 4
: number of bills which are contrary
to the interests Of business and the
general welfare, which repudiate
public economy and contemplate
vast necessary expenditures with
inevitable increases of taxes tC
follow. 1t is hard for us to believe
the masses of the Democratic
Party will be pleased with the new
alliance of it's representatives in
Congress. They are, in our judg'
ment, likely to rebuke it at the
polls when opportunity comes. -
