Uncle Sam the Spendthrift.

WELL, we were good fellows
W while we had it. weren't we?
We destroyed our forests. Result:
Up water courses.
We ndulged in an orgy of So
called reclamation" schemes to
drain unneeded swamplandS, there
by destroying the breeding grounds
and the natural resting places of
emigrating wild fowl so that the
once vast docks are gone, probably
forever.
We wasted our heritage of wild
game, formerly a great factor in
food supply aside from being a
source of healthful joy to gunners.
We needlessly polluted our streams.
But we're a resourceful race; give
us credit for that. Now, through
speed madness and drunken driving,
we're preying merrily on human
life. It's getting so that the citizen
who insists on dying a natural
death, instead of waiting for some
mad wag of a road-hog to NOW him
down, can be regarded only as a
SpoilSport.

STRIPES IN EVERY
PHASE OF FASHION
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Fashion places definite emphasis
on stripes for spring and summer
Stripes are as important for the
evening mode as for sports and day
time wear.
Dine and dance frockS made of
handsome striped crepe or tafeta
or colorful metal weave are among
the outstanding successes on the
current style mode.
For afternoon and informal din
ner events the jacket blouse fitted
to perfection or the simple girlish
over-blouse of gaily colorful stripe
register among the smartest items
Of the season.
Bold, bizarre stripes in Roman
and candy-stripe variations, also
novelty stripes that have flowers
and fruits and other designs worked
into the stripe are going big in the
southern resorts. They are partic-
ularly good in linens and cottons,
and are made up into evening
gowns, full length beach coats,
blouseS, sports dresses and acceS
sories of every description.

So-Called Modern Art.

ancient species-indeed an AL
almost vanished species. It's true
I'm not quite old enough to re-
member when they shot Indians

Peggy Hopkins Joyce was called
Love Apples. But I do date back to
where painting was expected. re-
motely, at least. to resemble the
OBJECT 1t purported to represent.

OF the artistic revolt-primitives,
characteristics, post-impression-
lists, cubiStS, dadaistS and so on
without ever becoming reconciled
to the prevalent idea that a can
vas apparently depicting a bundle

posed to be a nude lady's portrait.
or that a spirited rendition of
yellow cat having an epileptic fit
IN a mess of tomato soup was an
Italian sunset.
Lately I've seen examples of the
latest school - the surreahstic
school. And if the practitioners of
this form of beauty are artists,
then I'm a kind-faced old Swiss
watch mender. They're actually
giving certain of these geniuses

'em is something for their respec-

The First "Muckraker"

E>ARL4 one morning in the late
Il l820s a comedy was enacted on
the banks cf the Potomac river near
Washington which is without paral-
lei in American history. Enter the
first character: a swimmer. sans
bathing suit or any other raiment
He is no less a person than the
President Of the United States. for
i, was the custom Of John Quincy
Adams to so for an early-morning
cwim in that historic stream.
Enter now the second ciaracte
an old woman, poorly dressed, car
rying a huge umbrella, an inkhorn
and quill pen and some paper. She
marches out to where the swim
mers clothes lie on the bank and
sits down beside them. The swim
mer sees her, hastily sits down in
the water until only his head is visi-
he. Go away! Go away" he
shouts.
Not until you answer some ques-
tions, sir!" the woman replies.
John Quincy Adams RACES. He
threatens. He pleads. But it's no
use The woman not only refuses
to bulge but she makes him come
closer to the bank (crouched down
in the water, of course) so she
can hear more plainly what he has
Anna
tor Of the Huntress appropriate
name, thatD and Grandma of the
Muckrakers" forced Adams to ex-
plain to her his national bank pol
icy, then the most important pub
lie question Of the day. 1t was one
of the first Presidential interviews
and undoubtedly the most unusual
one ever given.
But that was chara cteristic Of
Anne Royal. Left a poor widow
when her husband, a Revolution
airy war veteran died, Anne Royal
went to Washington to claim a wild
oW's pension. While waiting to col
lect it, she bought an old printing
press, hired printer and began
publishing a small weekly newspa-
per which she called the Paul Pry
Journal. In it she fearlessly printed
everything that she considered
news, regardless of how much it
embarrassed public officials.
They tried to hit back at her by
having her tried as a common
scold, but John Eaton, President
Jackson's secretary of war, fur
uished bond for her (mainly be-
cause she had been an ardent de-
fender of Peggy Eaton in the So
cial war then raging). She changed
the name of her paper to the Hunt
ress but she didn't change its char
acter and to the end Of her days in
1854 she was a crusading journal
lst-the first muckraker.

"Hot Water War" Leader

"CHAY'S REBELLION and The
~ "Whiskey Rebellion are the
outstanding examples of minor
wars" which somehow manage to
get into our school histories. But
most of them overlook the Hot
Water War; and it's leader, John
Fries. Yet he was very important
figure in the early history of our
nation and more particularly in 1898
when we were about to go to war
with France.
In order to raise money for an
army to fight this war, if it came,
congress enacted a direct tax law,
known as the house tax, 30 cents
per $100 on houses valued at 5000
to $500 and 30 cents on houses val
ued at $500 to $1,000. The value O;
the houses was determined by
counting the number of windows
and measuring them.
In Pennsylvania especially was
there resentment against this tax
When assessors went around to
measure the windows on houses,
the women threw open these Win
doWs and poured scalding water on
the officials, hence the name Hot
Water War"
1t as also called Fries Rebel
lion' because the leader Of resist
ance to collection of the tax was
John Fries, veteran of the Revo-
luton (Who had also helped sup
press the Whiskey Rebellion in
PennsylvaniaD He was a travelling
auctioneer and this occupation gave
him a good opportunity to harangue
the people and urge them to resist
collection of the house tax. More
than that, he raised a force of
armed men who chased assessors
from township to township, forcibly
released prisoners, who had been
put in jail for resisting the tax col
lectors, and in general kept the
eastern part of the state in an up
roar.
Finally President Adams called
on the governor of Pennsylvania to
call out militia to suppress the riot
ers. Fries was captured and taken
to Philadelphia TO be tried for trea-
son. His attorneys insisted that he
was answerable only to a charge of
rioting, but federal jury found him
guilty of treason and he was SEN
fenced to be hanged. Then Benja-
min Franklin Bache, editor of the
Aurora a Republican Democratic)
paper, and bitter critic of the ad-
ministration, took up Fries case.
He raised such a fearful row about
it that it became a national issue.
At last, President Adams was led
to pardon Fries and after that the
leader of the short-lived Hot Wa
ter War dropped out of sight and
is lost to history.

Cruelty to Wild Life.

COMETIMES women are almost
~ as inconsistent as men-which
is a frightful indictment to bring
against any sex.
AS a boy, l remember being Sc
verely lectured by lady for robbing
birds nests a lady whose nodding
hat was crowned with at least four
stuffed meadoWlarks.
A few years ago, I saw women
prominent in humane movements
and good deeds, like that woman
of the Scriptures who was called
Dorcas-SaW these women wearing
the smuggled and forbidden al
grettes of the snowy heron, even
though they must have known that
each pitiable feathered Wisp meant
a cruel murder and brood of fledg-
lings left to starve. l still see these
aigretteS being Worn-againSt the
law of the land and the greater law
of common humanity.
And only lately, at a meeting to
forward the prevention of cruelty
to dumb beasts, 1 saw women
swathed to their earlobes in furs of
mink and otter. Seemingly they had
forgotten that the animals whose
pelts they wore had died in steel
traps by slow degrees of infinite
torture. Or maybe they didn't care.

Fur Trimmed Suits With
Coats to Match Popular

Suits with fur-trimmed, full-length
coats to match are just as popular
as they have ever been. A grand
suit, with a jacket that is buttoned
high in the neck, is being shown in
blue, brown and beige herringbone
tweed. The matching topcoat has
a huge, notched beaver collar. An
other three-piece model, in a very

topcoat enhanced by a full-length

a TAILORED suit season is pre-
4 n dicted, with interesting news in
regard to blouse and accessories
which, it is said, will be frilly and
fattering and utterly feminine no
matter how severely tailored the
suit. A further important message
is navy twills for the smartest
suits. Also comes the word that
beige will be a color factor this
spring.
Of course chic suits call for chic
hats and milliners were never more
up and alert in answering the call.
What with sailors, berets, bretons,
pillbox types, callotes Chose wee
caps French milliners adore, hats
a la Rembrandt or Rubens, shapes
that turn definitely up at one
side, and a riot of turbans with
countless variations, it is going to
be a most exciting millinery sea-
son. You can see that from the
very start.
Then, too, the startling innovations
that are taking place in the matter
Of hairdress are having a tremen-
dous influence not only on the hats
themselves but equally so on the
way we wear them.
AS to trimming. this is to be a
feminine season, flowers, ribbons,
bright colors, feathers, lace and all
that, with wells of devastating CO.
quetry to give glamor to the occa-
sion. There will be wells of every
description from long scarf effects
that drape dramatically about the
shoulders as you see at the top to
the right in the picture, to perky
little crisp affairs as centerS the
group here shown.
The models pictured indicate the
far-hung scope of ideas that are
influencing the new millinery pro-
gram. The hat on the seated figure
conveys the message that shallow
sailors will be Worn-Welcome news

this type of hat. This clever sailor

the President shall appoint another
judge.
2. That the number of additional
judges so appointed shall not exceed
fifty, the Supreme Court being linn
tied to Is members, appellate and
special courts to two additional
members each and district courts
to twice the present number of
judges.
3. That two-thirds of the Supreme
Court and three-fifths of other courts
shall constitute a quorum.
4. That the chief justice of the
Supreme Court shall transfer circuit
and district judges to jurisdictions
with congested dockets in order to
speed up disposition of litigation.
5. That the Supreme Court shall
be empowered to appoint proctor
to supervise the conduct of business
in the lower courts.
The President also proposed a re-
form in the injunctive process which
he declared would expedite Supreme
Court rulings on the constitutionality
of legislation and would further in
sure equality" and certainty OF
federal justice. He said frequent in
functions which set aside acts Of
congress are ''in clear violation of
the principle of equity that injunc-
tions should be granted only in those
rare cases of manifest illegality and
irreparable damage against which
the ordinary course of the law offers
no protection"
He asked that congress forbid any
injunction or decision by any federal
court touching a constitutional ques-
tion without previous and ample
notice. to the attorney general to
give the government an opportunity
ito present evidence and be heard"
His bill proposed that any lower
court decision which involved con-
stitutional question be appealed di-
rectly to the Supreme Court, where
it would take immediate precedence
over all other business.
New Deal leaders in congress
were expected to back the Presi-
dents proposals solidly, while it be-
came apparent that the conservative
Democrats might align with the
solid Republican group in opposing
it. The latter group saw in the bill
a direct attempt to get rid of some
of the older justices of the Supreme
Court who have proved continual
stumbling blocks for pet New Deal
acts.
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes, approaching rs, has voted
sometimes to sustain, sometimes to
invalidate New Deal laws. Justice
Willis Van Deventer, 78, has invari-
ably opposed New Deal laws; so
have James Clark McReynolds, rs;
George Sutherland, rs, and Pierce
Butler, Il; Louis Dembitz Brandeis.
80, has .oted to sustain New Deal
acts, except in the case of the NRA,
rejected by unanimous decision.
If the President is successful in
putting over the proposed changes
it will be the eighth time in the l48
years of the Supreme Courts history
that the number of justices has been
changed. The largest number ever
to sit on the bench was 10 from 1868
to 1866, and the smallest number
from 1901 to 1902

Elihu Root, Statesman
and LAWYER, Dies

ELIHU ROOT, one Of Americas
IL most eminent lawyers and
statesmen, died in New York at the
age of ninety-tWo. 1ntensively ac-
tive all his life, he did not cease
his activities until he was attacked
by pneumonia two weeks before his
death. His passing was deplored by
the great men of the nation and
many of them would have attended
his funeral had the family not de-
cided that only private services
should be held in Clinton, N. Y, his
birthplace.
By intellectual brilliancy Mr.. Root
became admittedly the leader of the
American bar, and he was actively
interested in many societies devot-
ed to the arts and sciences, peace
and education. During a half CEN
tury of public service he held many
high Offices, and his greatest
achievements were in furthering ar
bitratiOn of international disputes.
He was an organizer of the world
court and served on the permanent
court of arbitration at The Hague.
He was secretary of war under Nc
Kinley, secretary of state under
Theodore Roosevelt, and United
States senator from New York from
1909 to 1915.
