EVENING FASHIONS
 ACHIEVE GAY NOTE
Chiffon and TulIe Popular in
 Advance Spring Styles

Paris. March s [P>--Paris spring styles for evening hours strike the ladies be gay note.
 "h." says Paris. life is real and life is earnest, put on your femi- nine frippery at night and forget it."
 Feminine frippery naturally sns- gests frailty. Chiffon lace and tulle are in ascendancy with rich stained metal brocaded chiffon an ] gay printed taffeta much in evi- dence. Ankles arc definitely 'n eclipse. Even toes disappear occa- sionally behind swirls of wide ch!e- ion panels which trail and hcm- lines which only manage to clear the floor by a whisper.
 Spring evening silhouctts arc straighter than those of winter, with coft draping around the waist line. or softening capes or boleros which make normal waistlines less difficult to wear.
 Dance and dinner dresses con- tinue to show exaggerated decol- lettes, some of the prettiest being literally backless to the waistline, except for miniature shoulder capes which split up the center.
 There are decollette evening wraps as well. with adjustable col lars which can be worn exposing bare shoulders or draped around the neck.
 Evening wraps nearly all are h,p length. Evening ensembles of printed chiffon, with fur lined cap4- jackets 10 matcs, are new. The same idea is carried out in lace or satin. Colored long gloves arc widely shown and dressmakets place insistence on jewelry.

her, directly in front of her were the stairs leading to the floor above.
 She mounted these rapidly, and emerged into what the flash light enabled her to see was a sort of pantry. Here there were several doors. She opened the one that ob- viously gave on the front portion Of the house, and stepping for ward. fund herself in the rear If what vas obviously the main ha.- Fay.
 And now she stood still for an ri stant. listening. There Was .io sound. There was such Gn utter absence of soynd that the silence vas oppressive and heavy, She tit suddenly at Ter lips. Of course there was no sound.
 She went on again. the while ray lancing the darkness, p1lting the way. IL was q big hall. a big house. There were beautiful rugs or the floor. The doors of the room opening into the hall were closed. Such details she absorbed uncon- sciously - but she was not con- cerned with her immediate sur- roundings. The library was on the second floor the floor above.
 Her first steps, as she began 10 mount the main stairway. startled her, for the silence in the house was suddenly broken. There was no carpet on the stairs. The stairs were bare, polished wood Her foot steps clattered. Instinctively she began 10 tiptoc.
 But that was stupid - absurd. She bit at her lips again in vex;t- tion. Were her own footsteps so- ing to send her into a panic? Pco- pie out on the street couldn't hear the occupants of the house ever, time the latter went up and down the stairs, could they? Well, thea,
 She a5cended the remaininsr stairs in a natural manner but the beam Of light that played aheaI o. her Wavered little. and was rot quite 90 steady as before.
 Disquiet had come upon her more strongly than ever. She tried to tell herself reassurinCly that there wasn't anything to fear; that the worst of it was over. now that she had got safely into the house: an.l that it wouldn't take much longer - just the few minutes needed to open the wall safe and then she would be out ot rne house again. A tremulous little smile came. Yes. she knew all that. but it did not alter the fact that she was des perately afrail jus. the same.
 Where was the library? Her flash lights ray was dartng up au1 dcwn tho hallway of the secon1 floor now. The doors here, too. were closed. She opened one doc. after another. None of them was fastened the keys, she noticed, had all been left in the locks or thc inside. And then. finally. aftei ah nstants pause on the thresh. 1 hold, she entered a room at the rear or the hallway.
 This was it.

Announcement by an out-state candidate for the
legislature that, If elected, he will seek to have lnSur-
ance laws revised with more regard for the insured,
suggests that a serious study of the problem should
be made in behalf Of polcyholders.
Insurance plays so important a part in the life OF
today that it amounts almost to a government enter
prise. 1t will probably play an even greater part IN
the years to come.
one of the new developments is that Of accident,
health and income insurance. These are presumed to
give the insured protection against misfortune. The
law should demand that companies which write such
policies give all that they promise.
Practically all Of such companies do keep their
promises promptly. 1t is good advertising. But &C.
casionally there are delays and refusals to pay.
Inasmuch as there are very strict penalties for
those who try to defraud insurance companies, it
would seem to be only Justice if some penalty we're
provided for unreasonable or unwarTanted delay.
a law providing extra penalties. together with at
torney fees in any case where q poncyholder is COM
PEELED TO 80 into court for justice, might help to solve
sthe problem for the few.

France and Hearst

When the Paris government expelled William RAN
dolph Hearst, American publisher, from France it did
a bad davis work for itself and for international jour-
nalism.
The justification given by the foreign Office for Its
action is the alleged hostile attitude of the Hearst
neusnspers toward France. Whether that charge is
accurate or inaccurate does not interest US; it is none
of our business.
But even assuming the truth of the charge, the IN
evitable reaction Of any American would be, WELL
what of it?" The tradition and pride Of American
journalism is that the press shall be free to criticise
any government, foreign or domestic.
N. one will question the right Of the French gov
eminent to expel a newspaper man whom it considers
unfriendly. AS a sovereign state, France has an aoso-
Lutte right to receive or expel visitors at will, with or
without explanation. But the French government
surely knows that one may possess a legal right which
one does not exercise. because of good taste or ex-
pediency.
It happens that the French government has none
too good a reputation in its handling of the foreign
press. seIf-interest would seem to dictate that the
foreign ONCE improve that reputation, rather than
make it worse.

Analysis

A CCORDTNG to DR.. Krogman's
IA analysis three great Indian
cultures prevailed in Illinois over a
period of more than 1900 years, the
basic civilization being similar to
that which Obtained in the whole
upper Mississippi valley.
Influences from other regions he
traces into Illinois, particularly the
Algonkian culture Of New York,
which is very old, ~anteceding the
Iroquoisan invasion, and variants of
the efigy-building complex of the
Aztalan culture of Wisconsin, which
extended along the Mississippi, and
the "Hopewell" and Fort Ancient
cultures Of Ohio.
There is only d1aZy line between
the historic and the prehistoric, yet
the moment we pass from the
known Indians We enter a field
filed with legend and fancy" says
Professor Cole.
TN most counties of Illinois are
Indian mounds, earthworks and
camp sites. We are told that the
Mound Builders are a lost race
which inhabited this country before
the Indians; that they were immi-
grands from the old world; one of
the Lost Tribes of Israel; people
from the lost Atlantis.
But the archeologiSt is con-
cerned only with facts, and we know
conclusively that the Mound Build
ers are Indians, some of whom
lived very recently, others as long
ago as 1000 years."

The Chance to Work

Sterilization of employment is the biggest job
before the people of the United States-ard after
that, the world. The fear of starvation, or the loss
of a. job, makes a man timid and cowardly-especially
if he has a dependent family.
Organization is the. answer. We recognize our re-
sponsibilty for taking care of detectives by support
ing institutions for the deaf, the dumb, the blind, the
orphaned and for mental detectives who have to be
locked up in prisons. We pay taxes so that they
may be housed, clothed and fed, and given medical
attention as we'll.
For the most part they are useless members of
Society.
But we are not organized to provide steady en-
p~loyrlent for useful members of society Who are not
only willing, but eager, to work and earn enough to
provide a living for themselves and dependents.
There was a time when the ice business employed
men and horses during the summer season and turned
both out to grass when they we're not needed. At the
same time the retail coal business was doing the
same thing. In time these summer and winter bust
nesses were consolidated and the working force kept
going the year around. j.
Some men of vision who happen to be at the head
Of some business organizations have, in recent years,
sought to solve this problem. A few of them have
succeeded. More will succeed. But it is a nation
wide job.
All OF us should be so organized that those who
starvation in a land of plenty can be taken from mil
lions of men, women and children.
Solving this problem will solve other problems now
vexing various crime and other commissions that are
studying effects rather than causes.
