important and most effective part
in the formal gown liz, up. They
are sheer, smooth, supple and can
be made to drape beautifully and
gracefully. The popular light
weight woolens. they have the ap-
pearance from velvet to silk, in
clude broadcloths, cashmeres, Gre
pey weaves and jerseys for formal
wear. Black Is the favorite color
seen at the theatre or at formals.
Other colors consist of the new
pottery tones Of -ust and orange,
hunters green. renaissance blue,
and the neutral shades Of beiges
and grays.
All evening gowns can be made
exciting and impressive with a gilt
tering girdle or an exotic orna-
ment. Belts are the choice in or
der to strike the keynote for the
evening gown. If your new gown
is classic, draped, Grscian. there
is no better way to emphasize its
charming simplicity than with a
knotted gold cord belt. The ele-
giant renaissance stresses an ever
so wide jeweled stomacher belt.
Flowers, feathers or jewels are
used Unfortunately for the new

DOugIass AnniVersarY
1By Ralph !. lester for AMP

10y .lalpn II. Lester AuI AM
This month we celebrate the one
hundred and eighteenth anniyersa-
ry Of the birth Of Frederick Doug
lass. It is most unfortunate that.
as group, we are not 50 well ac-
quainted with the history Of this
great Negro. While most of us
are familiar with the important de-
tails surrounding the lives Of Alb
raham Lincoln. George Washing
ton and other great Americans,
comparatively few know anything
about the greatest Negro in AM
erican history
With these thoughts In mind this
column shall, briefly. summarize
the life of Frederick Douglass,
slave, lecturer. journalist, and
statesman.
Slave
Frederick Douglass was born the
son of a slave In Tackahoe, Mary
land, date not certainly known, be-
lieyed to be February IA, 1917. AS
a mere lad he was purchased by a
Baltimore shipbuilder, but escaped
in 1888. His autobiography shows
that as a slave he was treated with
brutality somewhat unusual
With very little help from others.
either in the way of instruction or
the furnishing of books, he taught
himself to read and write and
changed his name from Frederick
Augustus Bailey to Douglass.
Lecturer
Making his way to Massachus-
etts' where he showed talent as an
orator, Frederick Douglass was
employed as a lecturer by the AM
ericaA Anti-slavery Society. He
was soon recognized as a great
orator, a man Of that true elo-
quenee which holds an audience,
and makes profound and lasting
impressions. In 1876 he published
his Autobiography and later in
the same year made a successful
lecture tour of England. While
abroad he bought his freedom.
Journalist
Years later Frederick Douglass
started the New National Era in
Washington, D. c., a journal de-
voted to the interests of the Negro
race. AS an editor and contribu-
tor to newspapers and magazines
he was one of the most notable
and efficient. During this period
he wrote MY Bondage and Ny
Freedom" and Narratives Of My
Experience in Slavery"
Statesman
AS a statesman Frederick Doug
lass capably filled many offices.
In 1871 he was appointed Secreta-
ry of the Commission to San Do
mingo. In 1872 he was chosen as
one of the presidential electors for
the State of New York President
Hayes appointed him Marshal for
the District Of Columbia. Douglass
was later made Commissioner of
Deeds for that district and in 1889
President Harrison made Douglass
United States Minister to Haiti.
At the great Worlds Fair in Chi
cago, Douglass had charge of the
Haitian exhibit.
Although born in bondage, Ere
derrick Douglass rose to the heights
of an orator, statesman, true
philanthropist and a man Of hon
or. His death in 1895, at the age
of seventy-eight, left beautiful
and inspiring chapter in American
history. This column honors his
natal anniversary.

The opinion of the best diplomatic
and military authorities is that war
must break out shortly. The ratifica-
ton of the French-Sov military al
lance (officially 1t has a different
name), the strong attitude of the
French foreign minister. Flandin, to-
ward the e-militarization of the
Rhineland, and the feverish arms race
all over the world-all these point out
toward a war
Money counts no longer. What
euer the general stats need, the
treasures OF the different countries
grant them. 1t is true, unlike dur
ing the World War, that money is
no longer ttropn aUay. The gen.
eral stats haze learned to count.
The great propaganda to enlist the
favor of other nations is also being
loosened. But this time the govern
ments are careful about their expendi-
ture. The agents of the various
countries in the United States, for
instance. endeavor to play on the
sympathetic feelings of individuals,
rather than on bribery and corruption
as was the case between 1914 and 1917
\ X
OF course, most of the nations
which are going to war are almost
broke. They are trying to be self
sufficient and to use, as much az
possible, their own national resources
to provide for all war necessities.
Those within the orbit of France
can still draw few millions from the
French treasury, but they have been
warned not to abuse this privilege.

This Changing World
Geneva Happy as u. S. Neutrality Plans Break
Down, and Europe Prepares for
Another War;
Another War.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Geneva is all smiles. while the State
Department is in tears, because the
Congress has given a first class burial
to the neutrality bill containing the
embargo clauses for raw materials.
The State Department was con
vinced that an embargo on oil, cotton
and other such materials would help
to keep this country out of war and
would also make foreign wars more
difficult.
X \ X
But at Geneva the detection" of
the United States has produced only
crocodile tears. The sanctionist leaders
welcome the opportunity of laying the
blame for the Leagues inaction at the
doorsteps of this country And secretly
they are glad that the Congress has
not voted neutrality law with sharp
teeth, because war in Europe within
the next few months seems inevitable.
America may still provide the neces-
sary raw material.

RULING ENFORCES
AL|MONY PACTS
Justice Adkins UphoIds Suit
Involving !!ndeterminate
Payments.

Justice Jesse c. Adkins of District
Supreme Court, held today that inde-
terminate alimony payments author
lied by courts in other Jurisdictions
may be enforced by the local courts of
equity. His opinion is considered of
wide importance in domestic relations
litigation.
The question is expected to be taken
to the United States Court of Appeals
to determine whether the ruling is to
be considered precedent which must
be followed in other cases.
Many times in the past the District
courts have refused to attempt to en-
force equity proceedings DEGREES Of
other courts. but have required the
petitioners to bring their actions in
the law courts. making it necessary for
separate suit to be filed for each de-
fault in alimony payments.
Justice Adkins opinion was deliv-
cred in overruling a demurrer to a
suit by Mrs. Ida B. Battle, $500 Con-
necticut avenue, to compel her former
husband. John D. Battle, executive
secretary of the National Coal Asso-
citation, to conform to the terms Of
the separation agreement which had
been ratified by Reno, New, court.

In these countries scientists who

And there is no doubt that these men
