 The committee started out un- animously intent on building up propaganda for war profiteering legislation and for neutrality acts. Some wanted Government owner ship of munitions manufacturing
 But Nye, in his zeal to prove his contention that bankers and muni- ticns makers were responsible for American entry into the World War, ran up a side alley moment arily and emerged with an asser- tion that President Wilson 'falsi- fled" in relation to World War treaties. Down on his head came the wrath of Wilsonion Senators. The committee split, and much of its prestige was lost.
 Only part of the committees purpose has been accomplished. It helped to win enactment of neu- trality bill, half as drastic as it's members wished.

the recipe:

Il teaspoon mustard
l tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of flour

She had combined the ham
with the mustard and had spread
generously on slices of hot toast.
Then she melted the butter in a

together well, added soup and
stirred until it thickened. This
she poured over the ham on toast

Tan Shoes
Smart as
Accent
By WILMA LAVILLE


There are so many names
for the new tan" that is ap-
pearing in shoes and other &C.
cessories, that we feel we
might go into the subject
more fully than we have be-
fore. Some people, some
stores call it English tan,
others British tan. Still others
refer to it as tan shoe" tan,
and then it is sometimes called
brown. Many people are
talking about the saddle col
ors, which is just as good a
name as any, and also gives
rs some laxity, as saddles
were made in many colors.
Then there's a deep tone that is
being called "chaudron," which
means copper kettle. It's darker
and brighter than the English
tans, than most of the saddle col
ors, but it's a grand color, and Is
going to be seen a lot in shoes,
bags, belts, and so on.
Used for Contrast
The most important thing about
these colorS, however, is that they
are not accessories for brown, but
for navy and gray, even for black.
This is hard for some people to
adjust themselves to, but If you'll
think of the shoes that well
dressed men have been wearing
with their Sports-like suits, Of gray
flannel. blue, or what have you,
you'll realize that is really a good
combination, and has much chic
and authenticity. It's just an
other one of the masculine fash
ions we've picked up for spring,
and made completely feminine.
BOxy Goats
Another thing we've borrowed
from men is the straight. boxy
coat with fly fronts. AS women
may not know, a fly front is q
closing with covered rIttonholeS,
concealed reEeatt. a fold Of the
material, sc that when your coat
Is '1uttont5 you do not see the
buttons.
Boxy coats, straight and slim,
are good whether they are sin
gle-breaSted with fly front, or
whether they are double breasted.
but the single type is a little
the newest. They have replaced
Swagger coats and suits with
some of the best-dressed people,
but swaggers are so warmly en-
trenched in the affections Of the
people as a whole, that they will
undoubtedly last for some time.
BolerO Importance
Masculine only in the sense
that it's taken from a Spaniard'S
costume is the bolero, which bids
fair to be popular this spring.
It's smart in true Spanish fash
ion. with braid trimming, and
bright colored sash, but it is used
in many ways, quite differently
from the original manner.
Spanish colorS are better and
better, too, and you'll find the
brighter ones among them used
as accent with gray or navy, or
with black. The more temperate
colors are used as backgrounds.

Some years ago every hair Styl-
iSt, even the very best Of them,
felt that a heavy wave lotion was
necessary in finger waving.
The hair Is more difficult to
control just after a new perma-
nert, and until one is really ex-
perienced, it may seem impoS-
Sible at that time to put in a
smooth, artistic wave. So, the
average hair dresser could depend
on the heavy lotion to place any
kind Of a wave, and it was all
very simple.
The wave was neat and some
times quite beautiful in design,
but it was never beautiful In tex
ture and finish. The thick, glue
like lotion made a hard, stiff
coating that ruined all the nat
ural sheen and SoftnesS, and
some of these lotions even stained
the hair.
It was not long before the best
hair dresSers found that a very
thin lotion or even plain water
would be satisfactory. They
know how to comb the hair so
that it can be placed in the
wave grooves with ease.
There is one type Of hair, how
ever, that will always need special
attention, and that is the over.
bleached blond hair. There is
very little natural oil left in over
bleached hair, and it is often
matted and dry so that it is even
hard to get the comb through it.
I; It was in treating these over
bleached and dyed heads that we
began to use oil in our finger
