The Executive Committee of the Fed
eral Council of Churches of Christ in
America, which last night adjourned
Its two-day annual meeting here, selected
indianapolis, Ind, for the 1892 quad
Tennial convention of the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches.
Before the committee adjourned, it
issued a statement to explain its views
toward the United States building up
to the provisions of the London naval
treaty.
1--WE believe that the United States
can give tangible proof of its earnest
desire for general disarmament" this
read, FIRST, by exercising restraint in
the building program to be pursued
nnder the London treaty second, by
continuing active cooperation with the
League of Nations Preparatory Dis
armament Commission: third, by taking
part in a world disarmament confer
ence, and finally, by shaping its naval
policies with the view of enhancing the
success of the naval disarmament con-
ference scheduled to meet in 1885"
A statement that many of the church
people of the United States no longer
subscribe to the theory that Germany
was solely guilty for the World War"

SUPPORT INVITED
BY HOUSE VETS
Opposition to Appropriations
for DenatuTing Alcohol

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The wet bloc of the House has opened
wide its membership book and is ask
ing for new names on the dotted line
Laying plans at caucus yesterday
for continuing their warfare on the
prohibition laws, the vets decided the
present was an excellent time for any
members who may have changed their
views since last session to come oil over
and declare themselves.
Repeal in Background.
Repeal moves were left to a later day
In the new wet campaign program, but
meanwhile the members decided to eX-
haust parliamentary tactics in onpos-
ing appropriations for denaturing in
dustrial alcohol with poisons, and to
petition the judiciary committee for
approval of a bill to authorize manu-
facture and sale of beer.
They must move fast on the alcohol
poisoning, for the appropriations Of the
industrial Alcohol Bureau are contained
in the Treasury supply bill now before
the House for action within the week.
Bureau Fund Question.
No decision was reached on whether
to oppose the $4,000, 900 increase for the
Prohibition Bureau, but the militant
chairman. Linthicum, Democrat, Mary
land, was set for an individual fight on
this item anyway.
Linthicum predicted the Seventy-third
Congress, to be elected two years hence,
would end prohibition by refusing to
appropriate enforcement funds. The
Seventy-second Congress, meeting next
year, he said, will see the wet bloc in
creased to 100.

when 1t was impossible to appraise the
severity of the business depression then
in its early stages" Mellon said. Re
duction in that estimate was made
necessary by subsequent developments
in industry and commerce, as well as in
the security market, which indicated
that both corporation ana individual
incomes would be smaller than had
been anticipated; and by the effect of
such developments on the volume of
foreign trade and the customs receipts.
Exclusive of the $80,000.000 tax Teduc-

Go to Good Barber

Many mothers worry more
over their sons hair than their
daughters. One thing that helps
enormously Is going to a really
good barber. IL possible one who
specializes in cutting children's
hair. Hair thus cut and trained
by a GOOD barber can be much
easier kept in place every day.
After the bobbed stage. most lit
tie boys nowadays graduate into
a boys cut'-with a fairly short
bang or cut for a side part In

the side part in place. and r.
tainly the bang is then preferable

brushing that will be needed 10

Is pretty good reason to believe
that the constant application OF
water necessary to the training OF
a side part darkens the hair. Ger

general health to have the head
constantly moist in order TO keep
this part in place. Hair oil used

However, for the time when you
are definitely training a boys

Capes and boleros are among
the two outstanding fashions for

both have been borrowed by the
juvenile dressmakers. For the

New Fashions Are Full of Pitfalls

men don't even know when they
have fallen into them
So much has been said or the
return OF more feminine fashions
and greater romance in dress that
women who naturally like fussy
clothes may feel that now Is an
opportunity 10 indulge this taste.
The simple. straight-line one
piece dress gave far less oppor-
tunity for over elaboration than
the more elaborate dress OF today

Many women IndnC NNoP
struggle with their children's
hair. feeling that somehow by
constant attention. rubbing. mas
saging and other 'treatmenss'
scanty locks may be made luxu-
RANT. To be sure something may
be done to increase the growth
of the hair, but nature disposes
OF these matters to suit herself
pretty generally.
The something that can be
done Is 10 keep a child in az good
health as possible. Under nour-
ishment does Q than lack OF
brushing 10 make hair scant and
strinry. And OF course curliness
of hair is a matter disposed OF
BY heredity. II there is no curly
hair in your family anywhere
there is precious little chance OF
having a curly-haired child. no
matter how diligently he Is
taught to eat the crusts OF bread.
or how patiently you fun up his
hair after every washing.
The feeling Is 30 generally es-
tablished that keeping a child's
hair cut tends to make II thicker
that there must be some truth
about it. However, the feeling Is
also general that hair Is coarsen-
ed BY constant cutting and some
hair with a natural wave become
straighter when kept clipped or
bobbed. However the advantages
OF keeping a little girls hair cut
are so numerous In the way OF
comfort and convenience that
they ought to outweigh any ad-
vantages that long locks may
possess.

Now There's Difference

So at the outset there Is n
more striking difference between
Juvenile fashions and those for
grown girls and women-and his
difference in skirt lengths Is n
striking one even though many
OF the other present details or
adult fashion have been repeated
In those for little girls. Waist
lines have been raised in some
cases but not so definitely for
children as for the young girl
and grown woman. The belt
placed Just below the normal
waistline-at the top OF the hips
lis, 1t seems TO me. far more
becoming TO most little girls. and
gives better proportions with the
short skirt than n belt that con-
forms to a higher waistline which
with most little girls OF that age
doesn't really exist at all.
The new fiared skirt has been
adapted to children's clothes. and
for practical play clothes this is
often-and with smart results
achieved by means OF wide pleats
which are sometimes set box
fashion and sometimes in the
simple side variety. Fullness
achieved in this way has an ad.
vantage over that achieved by
means OF circular fiaring or go
diets because 1t survives repeated
washings and hard wear far
better.

Insist when your little girls hair
is bobbed that the barber does
not cut IL too short at the back.
Taboo the razor. Isl the clippers
sparingly or not at all.
Whether or not the bobbed
hair should have a bang Is a
matter of taste and a matter OF
becominEness. Some people seem
to think that IL the hair Is
brushed straight back from the
forehead 1t will tend 10 make II
scant above the temples. They
incline to think that the bobbed
hair should be parted on one side
with the ends caught rather
loosely hack IN a clip or ribbon.
The fact remains that many chill
dren never look more winsome
