The separate wrap for daytime
wear is rather a rare bird ar ong
the designers OF the smartest and
most expensive clothes. This is, of
course, because the woman who can
afford it nowadays has a separate
wrap for every important frock in her
wardrobe, if it is a frock that it is
likely she will wear outdoors. To be
sure there are separate sport coats of
the mannish sort that women wear
over sport frocks and suits and for
convenient motor coats on many oc-
casions. But aside from this the day

The scarf and hat sets are indeed
ubiquitous, and hardly well dressed
woman in the land but has a set. In
the sketch is a slight and chic yaria-
tion Of this mode. 1t shows a hat
with fine crepe de chine scarf bound
around its crown. This scarf starts
from underneath the birm at the right
side and goes clear around the crown,
broadening and rising up as il goes,
till it comes completely round again,
to meet long scarlet pin. From this
pin ii hangs down and becomes a
scarf for the throat and shoulders.
This is very decorative scheme,
and one that has been seen in some of
the smartest shop windows. This.
properly, should all be carried out in
pure, dazzling white, with the slender
scarlet pin. But il can also be done
with navy scarf and white shape, or
a scarlet scarf and white shape; but
the finest of these combinations is
the all white.

BUILDING
IS F|RETRAP,
CLAIM
Public Printer Carter Asks
$3,5oo,ooo Appropriation
for New Structure.

Calling the old Government Print.
ing Office a fire.trap, and asking
an appropriation Of $3,500,000 for a
new building, George H. Carter, Pub
lie printer, made his annual report
to Congress today.
The safety of more than 1000
workers is imperilled by the condi-
tons in the present structure, Mr..
Carter declares. The building Is
used as a warehouse for paper and
cannot be stored in the main build
ing adjoining.
IF a fire once got under way in
this structure 1t is believed by every
one who has studied the matter that
nothing could stop the flames until
they had wiped out not only the
old building, but the new structure
and the document office as WELL"
Not only is the old building, part
of which dates hack to Civil War
days, subject to the menace Of fire,
but structurally it is so defective
that 1t may cave In at any time. con-
tinues the Public Printer in his
report. There is a present restric-
ton on the loading of its wooden
floors not to exceed one.third of its
normal capacity.
During the year two fires were
discovered in the old building just
in time to check the rapidly spread
ing flames. One fire caused a loss
Of $500. including nearly $4,000
publications"
The Public Printer reviews the
progress made during the year in
cutting down the printing OF mill
lions Of copies Of Government docu.
ments going to libraries. ETC., which
had no use for them.
1.-THE reprint cost OF publications
allotted to Congress for free distri-
button amounts to approximately
$3.50, 900 annually" he says. Dur

age was compiled. the House fold

minister, convicted of assaulting an
eight-year-old white girl, exhorted
Mohler to confess, repent and seek
forgiveness.

Burning" and other hymns, but
remain mistaken.
Prosecutor Lippencott announced
today that a charge OF first degree
murder would be lodged against the
aged farmer.

two days, returning to his home

Democratic Presidential conclavc.
but 1t can also furnish a strong
candidate for the presidency in
William E. Dever, Chicago's mayor

This Is the conviction Of George

late Roger Sullivan, who is in
Washington today and tomorrow at
the Willard Hotel.
Between cordial greetings ex-

friends who sought him out today,
Mr.. Brennan explained that he is

understand that the contest has
narrowed down to Chicago and New

Proof that Chicago can handle a
national convention with facility ID
seen in the fact that the last five
Republican National conventions
have been held in the Windy City.
There will be about 1000 dele.

1t is held in Chicago. it viii mean
that 900 of the delegates will be
able to arrive in Chicago after q

have a convention hall which will
accommodate between $4,000 and
$4,000 persons which is within easy
reach OF our many hotels.
