 People who can't resist plaids have plenty of authorization in exclusive dressmaking circles this winter. Most of the plaids are printed velvets, it seems to me, but at Nicole Circuits there is a crepe de chine model of Scotch print in predominant dark green with stripes and cross stripes of gray, lighter green and red. The skirt is cut on a mild circular line with shaped yoke belt and front panel of small knife pleating. There are unusual in- crustations of lacquer red around the neck. which is a conservative V shape, and again on the cuffs. |

DEMOCRATS SQUARING AWAY
 SELECTING PRESIDENT

Washington. Jan. 13. (R--With the first Jackson Day celebration the Democrats were kindled anew to the task of guiding the party to the selection of a presidential nominee next June at Houston, Texas. The picture of the path way to the White House is -illam- ined by the principles of Jackson and Jefferson, who stand before the party as leaders pointing out their way. Last night at a ban quet here there was a parade of the contenders for the Democratic nomination. All present voiced their pleasure at the internal ac- cord and united front for the com ing campaign. All the prominent ly mentioned candidates except Governor Al. Smith. were present. Governor Smith sent message of regret. All others appeared at the banquet with the party leaders W uO, Wltu tNe DcmOCIdliC ANdttOuai Committee partook of the Jack son Day Dinner. that had harmony as its main course. All factional strife that has marked the recent party history appeared to have been forgotten at the banquet ta- ble. One suggestion of the con troversy coming with the triple mention of the prohibition subject was introduced by Governor Ritch- ie of Maryland. who urged that the prohibition question be settled by self determination and home rule. That prompted John W. Davis of West Virginia. the stand ard bearer in 1924. and the ban quet toastmaster. to voice his op- inion that the test of the candi- dates fitness should not be based upon their views on prohibition.

WILBUR WANTS FIRST
 CLASS AMERICAN NAVY

Washington. Jan. Il, (P,-Stress- ing his own belief in the fact that America needs first-class navy" Navy Secretary Wilbur placed be- fore the House Naval Committee, with his personal reasons and those Of the Navy General Board a bill asking Congress to authorize the appropriation of $725,OOO,OO0 for new warship construction over a five year building program.
 Secretary Wilbcr said that in the preparation of this program the General Board had primarily con sidered the need of this Govern ment for naval defense. It is true in determining this need, the Gen eral Board had taken into consider ation the condition of other navies. their construction and replacement program so far as is known.
 Future wars, he said. must be fought largely with vessels already completed. At the beginning of the Great War Great Britain announced at the Geneva conference that she needed about six hundred thousand toha of vessels of saa 4,saiser class. Out of the original proposal at Geneva for cruiser tonnage of three hundred thousand tons tonnage, less than we felt necessary for our fleet, We were willing to accept the hazard of building less tonnage than needed. if the others would accept a similar hazard.
 Secretary Wilbur said that the program proposing the construction of fifteen cruisers. five aircraft car riers, nine destroyer leaders. thirty two submarines was "in no sense competitive but based upon the ac- tual needs of the Navy as determin- ed by the Secretary of the Navy upon the technical advices of the General Board"
