Temperature in Clothes.

When we speak of buying warm
clothes" and "cool Clothes" we don't
mean that they are warm or cold in
themselves. No garment furnishes
heat; It can only retain what heat our
bodies create. Many Of us have bun
died up and still been chilly, simply
because we didn't understand the
Vvnrm clothes problem. The important
thing in buvinR warm clothes is to Sc
Iect those that won't give off the heat
Of the body.
Next to vour skin nothing is as
WARM as a loosely woven woolen gar.
yaant The open spaces between the
stitches are little cells that hold in
heat. IL you can't wear wool, try
*lannels; they're about as good. For
your outer garments you should get
clothes of tweed or wool dress fabrics.
knitted clothing Is also warm when
II is well covered with wind breaker
Don't wear linen in cold weather
1t makes the coolest garment, because
II allows the heat OF the body to pass
off rapidly. Cotton is also a good con-
elIctor of heat and 1t is especially de-
sirabie for warm weather wear. Often
the sheerest silk is warm, because silk
Is poor conductor of heat. Silk
hosiery and underwear have come to
be recognized as Wintery garments,
because they are light but warm.
Wool is an ideal textile for warm

Dolly isn't very strong on gray

She tells the world in no uncertain
tones that she approves OF the gay

nowadays.
She says that since the advent OF
the gin and whisky period every ones

Why. before 1t became smart to be
merry she'd been awfully self-con-

Then came the cocktail craze, and
she found that with few OF these
stimulating beverages she developed
into a genial conyersationahst.
Every one thought she was wonder

to liquor. isn't that just beautiful?
Dolly should be asked a few Ques-

First of all, what are these friends
hke-these pals she's acquired since
sne learned TO absorb fiery liquids?
Well. there are Buster and Harold

They're a Jolly little trio, and they
do keep Dolly amused.
It's true they're not much fun
unless they've had something TO
drink. They act rather bored and in.

Dolly doesn't mind that-they're

They're not exactly fr1ends-you

REBIRTH OF LIBERTY

her IA plea to american citizens
to turn the poWe: of the ballot into
channel that will bring about "a
rebirth of constitutional liberty was
made today by Senator James a.
Reed of Missouri in his keynote
speech before the Democratic state
convention here. Senator Reed de-
clared that Congress and state
legislatures in enacting thousands of
statutes have 50 blindly responded
to the insistent claims of agitatOrs,
frequently ignorant and usually ex-
tremists. that we have permitted the
innumerable threads of law TO be
spun about the form of liberty until
it lies PROSTATE and inert. like Gull
liver bound by the Liliputians."
Senator Reed declared American
bankers who have made private loans
to Europe We're Originally responsible
for the agitation looking toward can
collation. of war debts to the United
States.
The speaker declared much of the
farmers troubles are due to the
tariff and said he intended TO have in
troduced in Congress a bill providing
that when American farm products
are sold abroad the proceeds may be
invested in the market where the
products are sold and the goods pur.
chased may be admitted into the
United States duty free.

DEMANDS RETURN
OF GASOLINE TAX
Claim of Post Office on D. C..
Based on Ruling by Con-
troIIer McCarl.

A formal demand for a refund OF
the tax paid by the City Post Office on
the 1871, 1863 gallons of gasoline it used
during the fiscal year ended last June
80, amounting to S3,637.3S. was made
to the District Commissioners today
by City Postma ster William NJ.
Mooney.
The written demand followed a re-
quest to the collector of taxes for
refund, which he refused as a result
Of ruling by Corporation Counsel
Francis ii. Stephens that the District
has no authority to return the tax.
The original demand was made on the
basis OF decision of Controller Gen
eral McCarl on August 16, holdinI
that the District should refund gaso-
line taxes paid by the Federal Gov
eminent.
Postmas ter Mooney pointed out in
the letter that in making the demand
he was acting on the instruction of
the Post Office Department. and eN-
planned that the collector of taxes had
declined verbally to return the gaso-
line tax.
The Commissioners referred the
latest demand to District Auditor
Daniel j. Donovan for Il report. He
is expected to support the opinion of
the corporation counsel. The auditor
said that his report would be forward
ed to the Commissioners within the
next few days.
