ARE TOO
CHIVALROUS, SHE SAYS

CHEYENNE, Wvo., Feb. IL
Women have not had the franchise
long enough to escape the cfivalry
of men when they find themselves
in public office.
That. in the opinion Of those near
to Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, gov
ernor of Wyoming, is the cause of
her greatest worry as a state cxecu-
tive.
Wyoming, although it gave its
women the vote more than half a
century ago, is still chivalrous
state toward its feminine office
holders, observers in Cheyenne de-
clared. The novelty of having Il
woman governor has not yet worn
off.
When she took office q month
and Il week ago, Governor Ross
declared emphatically for reform in
Wyoming banking laws. She also
advocated ratification of an inter
state river compact with Colorado
and Nebraska. Both those ambi-
tions are we'll on the way TO being
realized.
Ratification is an actual fact and
the state legislature. has given its
attention to little else than the law
governing state banking.
Only in one instance has the legis-
lature gone contrary to the an
nouneed policy of Nyoming's gov
ernor. Mrs. Ross had asked that the
child labor amendment be- ratified
but the legislature doubted the
wisdom of such action and reject
ed il.

NEWEST STYLE NOTES
FROM FASHION MARTS
Melon Shaped Sleeves

Many spring frocks are made with
melon shaped sleeves with the tight
fitting cuff extending over the
wrist. These are practical for
street wear and since the sleeves
are decorated in embroidery, they
give bit Of color to the dark crepe
or silk frock. The sleeves are al
WAYS of the same material as the
frock with the design carried out
in contrasting colors which may be
repeated elsewhere on the froek.
Full Skirts
silk frocks invariably have some
fullness introduced into the skirts.
Usually inverted tucks or fine shir-
rings confine the fullness at either
hip. In cloth frocks pleats are
stitched at the side released at the
flounce to give fullness. Some
times the pleats in semi-sports mod
els are set in panel effect from the
side pockets and they are released
at the knee to give the desired full
hemline.
Violet-Hued Bonnets
Violet, fusha and eyelamen pinks
are the shades one sees most of i'll
millinery. Sometimes several shades
of purplish tones are blended and
those with pinkish cast are most
becoming. Just at present one sees
very few hats that are made of felt,
since felt rules the millinery world
The purplish toned eorsage is the
one most popular with the wearers
of the fushia bonnet. One sees
many young girls with violet color
cd blouses or tunics, tan topcoats,
violet hats and violet eorsages. Even
the border Of the 'kercLaf is kept

pARLEY HOPED
TO Sc I TILE
GOAL ROW
Government Officials
Assume Hands-off Pol
icy in Labor Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Aug. q. - With
government officials adhering to a
hands-off policy with respect to the
anthracite dispute, the one hope of
averting a shutdown in the anthracite
fields on September l rested today
in the efforts of the citizens COM
, mittee of that region to bring the
I operators and miners into conference
again.
Convinced that no efforts on its
own part would avail to prevent n
suspension of work in the mines, the
government is taking stock of the
hard coal supply and available substi-
tutes, and officials intimate that n
plan is already being considered to
safeguard the public against an actual
coal shortage. Tentative estimates
show the above-ground supply Of an
thracite to be sufficient to meet nor
NAL requirements until December.
CONFER WITH LEWIS.
After the operators had announced
a conditional agreement to its pro-
posal for q resumption of negotia-
tions, John II. Uhl, chairman of the
citizens "NoN Strike" committee of
Northeastern Pennsylvania, went
into conference today with John l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America.
Mr.. Uhl trailed the miners presi-
dent to Philadelphia and went into
secret conference with him at his no
tel headquarters there.
Government officials would give
no hint of the nature of the plans
they are understood to be working out
to meet the possibility of an actual
coal shortage, but it is known that
their chief concern now is to in
sure an adequate supply of bituminous
coal as the chief substitute fol
anthracite.
SECOND STRIKE LIMITED.
The most serious aspect of the
situation, in the view of officials
the possibility of strike in the or
ganized bituminous fields, from which
half the supply of soft coal comes

LADY ABERDEEN LAUDED.
French Woman Pays Glowing Trib.
ute to Council Head.

The following eulogy of Lady Aber-
deem was delivered at the closing ses-
sion of the International Council of
Women by Nine. Clara Guthrie
d'Arcis, one of the delegates:
Il cannot close without voicing the
tribute of which my heart is so full
to that wonderful woman, the fore
most international feminine figure of
the day. l owe her my presence here
tonight; l owe her my renewed in
spiration, faith, courage and energy
for the cause which l have been per-
mitted to plead before you. This mar
velous mother of humanity who, in
all the exalted places to which life has
called her-whether as the first lady
of the land in Canada, as vice-reine in
Ireland, as a mere president for 20
years in the great International Coun-
Gil of Women, or in that most delight
full of her roles, hcme-maker and host
ess, has never failed to be a living
example herself of the doctrine of
sympathy and understanding, toler-
ance and love, of that golden rule
which is the motto of the Information
al Council.
Mime. President, you have been an
inspiration to all fortunate enough to
have come close into the circle of
your influence and to millions who have
never seen you, for you have shown
us how noble, how difficult, how beau.
tiful and how necessary a thing it is to
be both an ardent patriot and an ar
dent peacemaker. For what you have
done for millions of women out there
and for me, but above all for what
you are, Lady Aberdeen, thank you"
