bathrobes often last for or 4 years.
If dress budget compiled recent
ly by supposed experts, Of which the
total amount spent per year was over
$500, only t5S is allowed for shoes, and
this includes rubbers, galoshes and
room slippers. Few well dressed
women would find this amount suffi-
cient or fair proportion with
total dress budget of this size. How
ever, this budget does allow over $4S
a year for stockings.
The trouble with making out gen
eral dress budgets is something like
the trouble we encounter in making
out a diet that can be recommended
to every one. SO much depends on
the individual and the habits of
the individual. Really no one can de
eide these questions for you. Some
women on a $500 or 500 dress allow

new evening frocks a year. If most
of your social engagements were eve
ming parties YOU would find this to he
the case with you. Others would do
easily with the two evening frocks.
but would spend more for shoes, and
perhaps less for stockings.
It's all matter of individual needs
and preferences.
So when you make out your dress
budget estimate the average amount
you spend for clothes every year.
Then make a list of the things you
need. Then set down the actual fig
ures, dividing by or 3 the cost of
such things as Will serve for or 3

Perhaps you would like to know
something about poppies because
they are the flowers for people born
in August. In olden times they
were thought to be the blossom of
a weed of evil omen, probably be-
cause of their color which symbol
ized blood. Thus they We're a sym
boil of death to the ancients.
There is a fantastic tale told of
xhe sou of Tarquinius Superbus. that
Uld Roman emperor. The father had
taken captive a city and was uncer
xain whether to sell it's inhabitants
Snto bondage, so he asked the advice
nj his son. The Romans were at that
time a stern and warlike people and
the son listened scornfully to what his
father said Then, when he had
finished, without word the young
officer walked into the garden of
the palace and with his sword slash
ed the heads from bed of poppies.
In that way did he tell his father
what TO do with the captives of the
conquered city, and his father did
what his son had told him.
Later. when more was known about
the poppy, the properties of poppy
seeds became known. People learn
ed how to make these seeds yield

ing wears shoes out very fast and the
present-day dancing slipper is ex-
tremely fragile. Moreover, just at
present it seems to be the smart thing
to have a different pair of slippers for
every frock. Women go to great
pains TO. have their slippers exactly
match their evening frocks. and carry
samples of material to- their shoe deal
ers to match the materials as nearly
a s possible to the shoes they buy.
Handbags. too. have become an
important item in the dress budget.
Time was when most women consid-
cred themselves well supplied If they
had two or three handbags. There
was a leather bag perhaps to go with
the street costume, a gold mesh bag
for afternoon wear and some sort of
evening party bag. One didn't like

Another observer of present-day
fashions says that the most important
things in the appearance of well
dressed women have nothing to do
with their actual dress. Most impor-
tant. thought this commentor, was
attention to the face, hands and hair.
There is some truth in this, for
women spend relatively a larger
amount of their incomes on beauty
doctors. ma maniCurists. hair dressers and
BARRIERS than ever before. But a girl
really can take care of these details
for herself, and If she does. then there
is something saved to spend on more
and nicer frocks.
How much, then. Is it necessary
to spend on frocks a year? Or
rather what proportion Of your total
dress allowance should be SO ex
pended?
Many women, especially those who
buy French frocks, seem to think
that there is relatively less now than

- ages have been chided by GER
tain would-be social reformers
Il for the amount of money they
have spent on their clothes.
Sages and prophets, preachers anf
economists have for centuries referred
10 the feminine dress budget as chief
est of worldly vanities. Apparently
women of all ages have been eXtrava-
CANT in this matter of dress. but each
age and each period has had some
special item of extrava gance. At one
period the amount of money spent
on women's hats and headdress is the
source OF amaZement and consterna-
ton; at another time their jewelry bills
seem appalling. In one period they
are berated for spending so much on
shawls, at another they are censored
for the amount they pay the furriers.
Just at present the fashionable
women's shoe bill and stocking bill
causes most CONSERVATION.
So from time to time we have to
modify our dress budget. 1t may be
that from year to year the sum that
we have to spend on our clothes re-
mains the same, but the relative
amounts spent on the different sorts
of things must change as fashions
change. When skirts are long and
trailing we can set aside small
amount for shoes and stockings. When
skirts are of moderate length and

Bishop WeIch Says This

of God to Rule.
By the Associated Press.

Hy the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Ill, January 21.-Three
Methodist Episcopal bishops and a
missionary who refused TO be elected
bishop last night addressed a ban
quet of the Chicago Methodist Social
Union, held in connection with the
conference of the world service COM
mission of the church. The speakers
included DR.. e. Stanley Jones. India,
and Bishops Francis J. Mcconnell,
Pittsburgh; Herbert Welch, Japan
and Korea, and Edwin II. Hughes,
Chicago.
DR.. Jones recently refused to be
elected a bishop, preferrinE to con-
unue his work as missionary in
India.
He declared that the aim of the
missionary movement is ''to produce
Ihristlike character around the
world and mot propagating Western
civilization or insisting upon the im-
planting of denominational forms III
The East" He aracterized as 'tNordic
nonsense" the contention that only
white Americans are capable of talk
Ing christianity. The objection comes
from the other side, he said. The
East asks whether we are under
standing Christianity and really in
tcrpreting it.
Bishop Welch criticized what he
called the fallacy of Nordic suprem-
acy. How do we know" he asked
that the white races will be supreme
in the future?' He stated that the
United States would cease to be su-
premc in material and moral power
unless this country does the Will of
God. In the same way he said the
Methodist Church would cease to lead
in religion il it placed too much
emphasis on buildings, numbers and
wealth instead of spiritual life.
Bishop Mcconnell declared that the
Greatest contribution to Christianity
has come from non-Christian sources.
Lack OF praCticing the principles of
Christ in private life in America, he
said, has weakened the force for de-
Vcloping Christian lives among for
ciGnerS. He declared that no greater
stroke for ChristianiZing the world
was ever made than making the
United states free from legalized
liquor traffic.

The Governor of wyoming

If Governor Nellie Ross of Wyom-
ing. who visited Portland recently,
is a fair example of woman office
holder. then let us have more wom-
en- in politics.
With such shining examples as
she of the fact that e~xigencies of po-
litical life, and the responsibilities
of high position dc not burden a
women nor make her less feminine,
even the former anti-suffragists are
deprived of their age-old argument
that exercises of the right of fran
chise makes a woman mannish.
Whatever the impression that may
have been made by Governor Ross
was afforded Portland people, there
was certainly no carping critic to
arise and say hat she was not a
womanly m 4 quiet and gra-
cious dignity, the charm of social
ease, the democracy and kindness
which are innate in people of good
breeding-these are Governor Ross's
outstanding characteristics. 1t is as
impossible to think of her without
them as to think of a rose without
fragrance.
OF her ability at statecraft Maine
people have had and perhaps will
have little opportunity to judge, for
her stay in the Pine Tree state is
brief at best. But when Governor
Ross leaves the borders of Maine,
she will leave behind her the i'm
preston that her guiding hand on
the tiller OF the ship of state. al
though firm, will always be gentle;
that her decisions will always be
tempered by her feminine Intuition
and her womanly sympathy; and
that no matter how hard pressed
the exigencies of her gubernatorial
duties, the Ross home will never be
poorly administered, nor the family
neglected.
Governor Ross, if the little she
had to say of the high Office she
holds may form the basis of %conjec-
ture. is taking that office as a sacred
trust. a legacy, left to her by her
dead husband, whom she succeeded
in the governors chair. If she ad-
ministers it in that spirit there is
little question that the state of Wy
oming will profit by the passionless
and conscientious judgment of IL
who is earnestly striving to live up
to the highest ideals of womanhood.

Another Fooi Law

The last Legislature when passing
the FISH and game bill, changed the
size of fish that might legally be
caught to a minimum of seven
inches and the state game and fish
department in this section of the.
state at least is hot on the trail of
the fishermen. AS a matter of fact
the angler who visits the headwaters
of the streams of the Big Horns will
rarely find a trout e six inches
in length. At the head of Canyon
creek, stocked with eastern brook
trout. a seven-inch fish would be an
oddly. Those acquainted with fish
state that approximately eight out
of ten fish caught on a hook and
returned to the water will be killed.
a siN-inch trout is as good to eat
as a seven-inch one and a bag limit
would seem to be the sensible rem
edy for this situation. Every fish
caught out of a stream must be re-
placed. If the hatcheries of the
state are not able to do this the
fishing should be restricted. In
streams where fish will not attain a
size of seven inches they should be
closed. 1t is a self evident fact

Cities Levying Sales Taxes

Municipality of Cody is reported
to be levying a municipal tax of
one-half cen a gallon on gasoline.
dition to the state tax of 2h cents
per gallon, which is collected on
gasoline sales at all service stations
in Wyoming. This is an interesting
experiment and will be keenly
watched by other municipalities in
the state. While there is nothing
in the state sales tax law prohibiting
municipalities from assessing an ad-
ditional tax upon motorists, there
is nothing in the statutes compell-
ing anyone to buy gasoline in any
certain municipalities. It would ap-
pear. therefore, that if a town like
Cody assesse an additional tax on
gasoline and the town of Greybull
does not, that there is nothing to
prevent the motorists, and especially
tourists. from buying their gasoline
in Greybull instead of Cody. Ed
itor of The Index recently returned
from a tour of the Montana oil
fields by way of Yellowstone park
and was surprised to find that gas
oline in the park was cheaper than
at any OF the service stations in
Wyoming, and that it was dearer
at Cody than at any other point
where we purchased gasoline in the
state. On a former trip through
the national park, we found price
conditions reversed. with higher
