HOUSE RULE IS
BALANCED ON
OHIO ELECTION
wisconsin Vote Again Gives
6. 0. P. Temporary and
Shaky Majority.

~ Scripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-With
election of Thomas r. Annie of
wisconsin to the house of represen-
tatives this week, the Republican
party again has obtained temper
airy and shaky majority in that
body.
However, not until Nov. g. will the
hnal returns be in on party
strength and even after that, the
totals may be changed by death.
Amlie's election gives the Re-
publicans 2l5 seats, while the
Democrats have 214 and the
Farmer-Labor party, one. Five
representatives still are to be elect
ed at the general November cleo
tions.
Three of the men whose deaths
caused the existing vacancies were
Republicans and two we're Demo-
Gratis. Two of the first group vir-
tually are certain to again elect
Republicans, and the second group
almost certainly will re-elect Demo-
Gratis.
Therefore, control of the house
will depend on the election in one
district, and that district is the
one represented for many years by
the late Speaker Nicholas Long
worth. Both Democratic and Re-
publican parties will concentrate
their attention on this portion of
Ohio during the next two weeks.
If the Republicans win, that
party will have 218 members in the
house, the Democrats will have 2l6.
and the Farmer Labor party one.
It will be in the power of the liberal
Republicans to organize the house
and demand whatever concessions
they see fit in the way of rules and
legislation.
On the other hand, if the Demo-
Gratis win in Longworth's district
each major party will have 217
members and the balance of power
will lie with Representative Paul
Kvale, Farmer-Laborite and sec
ondarily with the liberal Republic
ans.

VISITORS TO NATIONAL
PARKS SET NEW MARK
3,152,845 Attendance This Year Is
Gain of Ia Per Cent.


By Scripps-Howard Nelcspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Revised
statistics on national park travel
for the tourist season to Sept. 30
reveal that all records for at
tendance in the national parks were
broken this year. For the first time
travel passed the 100000 mark,
with a total patronage amounting
to 3,l52,845 visitors. Yosemite Ma
tional Park led the list.
This was an increase of IA per
cent over the previous record, at
tanned last year. Due to heat and
unfavorable road conditions, travel
to the national monuments, accord
ing to Park Director Horace M.
Albright, fell off this year. Most of
these reservations, which are
smaller in extent than the parks,
are located in the southwest.
The loss was offset by the in
creased travel to the parks. All told,
3,544,856 people patronized the
combined parks and monuments
this year as against 3,246,656 in
1890. This was a gain of about 9
per cent.

Washington Fashions

In the rush Of Christmas, we
must not forget that fashions
are still going on and on. Many
women are doing their clothes
buying late, and stores are just
now getting much Of the dress
business they should have had
before. So fashions are still
developing, just as they always
do this time of year. so that
those of us who like change
can have something new.
Nearly every winter. prints ap-
pear in new versions in De-
cember and this season is no
exception. Just take a look at
the prints in both yard goods
and dresses. and see If you
don't have a feeling that spring
is not so far off. after all.
The new prints are very de-
cidedly divided into two classes,
very large patterns widely
spaced on dark grounds, and
very small patterns, which may
or may not be widely spaced.
Most of them are on dark
grounds, too, though occasion
ally you see a smart print on
a lighter ground. just as the
lighter colors are being bought
and worn in plain shades at
this time. The larger patterns
have the sponsorship of some
very good authorities, but the
smaller patterns look much
smarter, in our opinion. They
are distinctive. original. and
different enough from anything
we've had, so you feel that you
have a decidedly new dress.
These prints make excellent
under-coat dresses for right now
and they have the added ad-
vantage of looking spring-like
when spring comes. You can
wear them right througt the
season. as long as they're good.
Most of them are trimmed in
solid colorS. some with white,
and they are cut on the long,
slim lines that are prevalent.

unusually attractive, made Of
a small leaf print in combina-
tions of red and black, green
and black, or two shades of
blue. The square-cut neckline
is finished with a scarf that
may be worn several ways, and
the metal belt is a smart touch.
The sleeves are melon-shaped
at the wrist, just as the newest
dresses are in Paris, according
to late reports. This dress is

Eighteenth century charm is en-
bodied in the drawing room of the
Edward Treat home, 1858 Washing
ton boulevard. Italian and French
influences both are felt, combined
successfully to harmonic with Mrs.
Treats own personality.
America is on the threshold of a
new era in home decoration, in
which people are asserting them
selves as individuals using ideas
and qualities expressive of their in
dlvidualities. Such a home is that
of the Treats.
One of the loveliest pieces in the
room is a Louis XIV console table
fancifully decorated, and with a
colorful marble top, on which is a
frosty green alabaster shell into
whose depths peers a white marble
nymph from her place on its rim.
This shell, which was brought from
Florence, Italy, by Mrs. Treat, has
been converted into a lamp.
Above the table is a gilt mirror
whose background is a tapestry.
Nearby is Mrs. Treats most treas
ured possession, a low graceful
modified Queen Anne chair uphol-
stored in a valuable piece of Al
ousson whose design is pastoral.

Women Told

By United Press
VIENNA, July 29.-Miss Lena
MadeSin Phillips, New York, is pre-
siding at the congress Of Interna-
tional Federation Of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs, in ses-
sion here this week.
Representatives Of twenty-four
countries were present at the OPEN
ing meeting Tuesday night at which
time Miss Phillips urged them to
work for disarmament and peace,
and bring about the destruction of
racial and economic barriers.
This is woman's hour to strike"
she maintained. Generations of
women, patient and long suffering,
have endured the horrors of war
and the subsequent hardships. They
have paid the greatest price in an
guish and want and privation. They
have given up sons and husbands
as a sacrifice to the gods of wars"
Miss Phillips believes that women
have the voting and financial power
required to protest. She urged that
the women take advantage of this
power, abandon conservatism, break
tradition, repudiate if necessary
political Affiliations and demand
that justice be done to all peoples
and val be outlaWed.
Meetings are being held in the
palace of former Archduke Eugene.
DR.. Joseph Resch, Austrian minis
ter of social welfare opened the
convention Tuesday. G. B. Stock
ton, United States minister, also
spoke.

estried chairs are modified seven
teenth century pieces, and several
are covered with exquisite pieces
Of needle point and petit point.
The room is well balanced, small
pieces arranged with reference to
the larger chair, the davenport
and grand piano. Coffee tables. oc-
casional tables on which are placed
lamps, cigaret boxes, lighters and
ash trays, carry out the motif of
the room.
On the piano Mrs. Treat has ar
ranged a Monaghan piece which
Mrs. Russell Fortune brought back
from a village on the border of lib
ct several years ago. It is further
ornamented with a classic Sevres
vase.
Several oil paintings serve to dec
crate the walls, which are tinted in
deep cream, including the Laughing
Cavalier placed over the fireplace
and an especially fine Dutch girl by
Henri Heyliger that was taken out
OF Belgium n week before it was
ransacked by the Germans.
The entire effect of the room is
one of delicacy and charm. Lamps

beauty of the room as well as serv-

Just
Day
Sense

A BRAVE young woman who
"A boldly signs herself "An I'm
faithful Wife," sends this column
a letter. I wish that all husbands
who take their wives for granted
might read it and so learn what q
tragic thing it is to trample on a
woman's faith.
For four years, this wife ex-
plains, she lived happily trusting
her husband completely. When
financial reverses compelled him
to seek work in another city, she
remained at home and took a job
until all their debts were paid.
After she joined him she learned
that he had been having affairs
with other girls over a period of
two years.
ct was three years later that I
met a man who attracted me and
I had no inhibitions about hav-
ing an affair with him although
1 was discreet about it. If my hus-
band had remained true TO me, I
would still be idealistic and faith
full to my first and n true love.
Now the doctrine of $3.50 is my
creed. I am glad women have
spunk enough to beat men at their
own game. If my husband ever
finds this out, do you think he
will forgive me and never speak
of it, as he asked me to do for
him? I doubt it."
= 4 =
IVES, I doubt it, too. For while
L some men believe it is moth
ing to talk about when they go
philandering, they cherish the de-
sire that their wives should be
good. And, strangely enough, al
though they have no scruples about
becoming evolved with other mems
wives they want their property let
alone.
1t has been my observation that
the unfaithful husband will make
the loudest fuss if he thinks his
wife is deceiving him. This is
natural. 1t. is an evidence of in
tolerance and Of unintelligence.
And it is always the unintelligent
man who breaks his marriage
without conjunction.
For surely it is a brainless act
when a man deliberately deludes
a loving and c%onfding woman.
There can be no doubt that many
a wife is unfaithful because her
husband set her the example.

SLIP TAKES ON NEW LINES
Here's a simming costume slip
that Paris has designed on the lines
of the new frock.
The interesting cut of the moulded
bodice extending INTO a deep point
at the front proves a particularly
slenderizing feature and gives
length.
The skirt being circular, falls so
gracefully beneath the frock with
similar circular f1aring hemline. The
hem of the slip may be rolled by
hand, which gives it a French finish
or it may be finished professionally
with p~icot-edge.
Lace edging provides a dainty
trim which may also trim the upper
edge Of the bodice.
Style No. 228 may be had in sizes
IA, 16, IS, 20 years. 36 and 80 inches
bust. Size Is requires 21k yards of
35-inch material with 315 yards of
edging.
Crepe de chine and fat crepe silk
are popularity used for the excellent
service they give.
