Ken Murray
Says:

Regardless Of whatever else
may be said Of the Republican
convention this year, they have
certainly tried to add charm to
the affair, judging from the
number of lady delegates pres
ent. SO from now on I guess
there1I be no more party So
cretS.
Of course, it's easy to see
why more and more women are
going in for politics. =. After all,
what other profession offers
such glorious scandals?
Personally, can see how it's
really going to be difficult for
a woman to be very successful
in the modern type of politics
:. With those long dresses,
she'll look mighty funny trying
to straddIe q fence.
Oh, well, 1 guess the idea isn't
really very new, after all. .

ALLEN PUSHES
MOVE FOR .
PLANK
Democrats to Be Asked
To Indorse Proposal
At Convention Il.
BY EARL GOODWIN

The Democratic National Con-
vention, which opens June % at
Philadelphia, may promise the
District of Columbia two Sem
ators and the rroportionate num-
ber Of Representatives
That's a platform plank matter
which is even now receiving con-
sideration by the man who will
have more to do with the plat
form than anyone elSe-except
President Roosevelt. That man is
Senator Robert Wagner of New
York, picked now as the chair.
man of the committee on resolu-
tionS.
1t will not be the first time Q
political convention has been be-
Sieged by aspiring local politi-
clans for such a plank. However,
this time there seems to be con-
siderable underground work go
ing on in advance, and the fins
Italian CMissisSippD hand Of
Commissioner George E. Allen
may be diScerned.
Tea Party Planned
In fact it became known that one
Of the really big shows which will
be staged before the platform is
hammered together and brought
in to the convention is to be Q
dramatized appeal for national
representation of the District in
Congress.
The great argument in favor Of
representation in Congress has
been for years that the local resi-
dents are taxpayers without voice
in the Government.
With that in mind CommiS-
Sioner Allen is planning to stage
modern version of the Boston
Tea Party, with Indians and all.
real tea by the thousands of small
bags. and the purpose Of stag.
ing this well known incident is to
again bring to mind the slogan
of the Boston tea party which was
that Taxation without represen-
tation is tyranny"
Allen Head Man"
Now there is said to be conSid-
erable chance that the convention
will adopt the suggestion; it GER
tainly doesn't lose any votes for
the Democratic party to promise
a Democratic form of Government
for the national capital; and mas.
much as there is also some talk
that all the District will get is q
plank anyhow, so it might as well
be the very best plank they can
fashion.
There's a further angle to this
matter; the presentation Of the
Districts plight at the Democratic
convention will be the elimination
of lot of political work that has
been done by Commissioner Allen
for three years past. The PROB.
ability is that by the time the
election is over, Mr.. Allen will bO
a sort of Number One Democrat
in the District, and will have built
up a substantial machine, made
up of key men in neighborhodS
all through the District and out.
lying sections.
Commissioner Allen showed.
himself a builder of machines in
the preliminarieS or organization
for the Presidents Birthday Ball.
Those who watch him say that
in any other community he would
be county chairman-or State
chairman.

ACID THOUGHTS

American liberty should agitate
earnest womanhood.
But somehow the question that
gives me most worry-it has
taken possession Of me like a good
hate-iS why have Washington
women taken to wearing evening
dresses at 4 o'clock in the after
noon?
Is this a custom that is sweep
ing the country-and its polished
floors? Or has it just enveloped
the Nations Capital?
I had thought that a simple
little sheer" or a tailored suit
(of sharks skim, giving the feet
room to move and kick about a
bit, would be appropriate for the
heat Of Washington midsummer

Transparent lace and net and
chiffon floating from shoulders
to shoe tips had seemed suitable
for ball room or boudoir.
It had never occurred to me
that satin shoes dyed violet and
green belonged in the bright sun

their languiShing garments. I've
wished I were smiling around
while organdie roses and lace
forget-me-nots twisted about my
feet and my neck was exposed to
the breezeS.
But what really keeps me in
sport suits is this-how can I
acquire an evening expression
suitable for bare neckS and long
skirts at 4 o'clock in the after
noon?
An evening expression, any

Ostrich Tail and Wing
Plumes Most Valuable

Fashionable French and English
feminine headdresses of the early
Nineteenth century ran to ostrich
feathers, and ostrich fans were i'm
perative accessories for evening in
1899.
The plume has been decorative
object since the days of early Egyp-
tian kings.
The first ostrich farm was started
In South Africa many years ago,
despite ridlcule, says a writer in the
Kansas City Star. The ostrich boom
came in 1880 when pair of birds
sold for 1915. Cape Colony was the
big export district.
The birds are strong, stupid and
fast, according to ostrich farmers.
They are clipped after a few months
growth, when the blood vein in the
quill has dried up to the point where
1t enters the flesh. The quilts can
be cut then without drawing blood or
hurting the ostrich. The stumps left
in the skin drop out or are drawn
out with tweezers two months later.
At the clipping several men invade
the corrals and hustle as many os-
triches as possible into a small en-
closure. Then one man climbs the
fence, picks bird and hoods him
with long narrow oil-cloth sack.
Two men drive the submissive bird
into box where he is quickly shorn
Of his handsome wing and tail feathers.
The feathers are cut once or twice
year. Plumes from the wings and
tail of the full-grown male bird are
most valuable.
