smart 1t is, too, with beige knit

Paris comes forth with an idea
that lends itself admirably to the
making over Of your old fur coat.
Knit or wooden sleeves and an in
set belt of matching fabric solve
the problem. If the coat Is short
haired, such as pony, so much the
better.
A new blouse trick for those ham
dy with the needle is bit Of bright
embroidery to accent the should
ers Of a sheer wool or chalais
waist.
Plus fours are the newest for
winter outdoor sports and 1t Is ex-
pected that they also will have q
place in our summer wardrobe.
IF you want to change the clip
on your winter dress or add touch
of color by means Of a necklace or
bracelet, be sure you look at the
ones Of turquoise or coral. They
are ultra smart. Many Of the coral
ones are Of the natural criss-cross
coral so popular in grandmother's
day.

toms.

Minneapolis, Jan. 5.-The latest
color craze Is for beige. A pair Of
beige fabric gloves worn now Is
one Of the smart tricks of the sea-
SON. Washable fabric with suede
like finish is preferred. In places
where temperatures drop pretty
drastically during January and
February. knit gloves Of beige an
CORA or heavy wool will take the
place Of lighter weight fabric.
School girls are going in for jer-
sey and flannel Stacks. It Is ia
shion as comfortable and practical
as smart. Dark blue jersey Stacks
worn with a sweater blouse or
flannel shirt in addition to being
fashion-right, ward off many cold.
1t is interesting to note that high
school and college girls seem to
show q preference for Stacks rath-
err than wooden culottes.
Knit dresses continue to keep
their front place, and shape, too, In
the fashion world. There was time
when one expected knit dress to
be straight-liner or a two-piecer
and to assume almost any shape at
the end Of a few weeks wear. This
is no longer the way Of knits. They
are styled exactly as are fabric
dresses and with any care at all
they retain their original form. At
the present time double-breasted
knit suits in checks are much In
favor. These are trimmed with
leather buttons and matching belts

trated at the back. The v neckline

Board should be combined would
seem to be a good one. Just why
there should be separate boards for
this work which is so closely allied
Is hard to figure out. OF course
there Is a need for parole officers,
but they could just as well be un-
der the authority of, and report to,
the pardon board as to the parole
board. Presumably the pardon
board Is familiar with all parole
cases any way, and could easily
pass upon them. There Is too much
duplication of effort in our state
administrative work any way, and
1t would be good thing to simpli-
fly the work of government wher-
ever possible. Here is one way to
do it.-Murray County Herald.
A Botched Tax System
For 20 months the interim tax
commission has been examining
Minnesota finances, and in the
first of seven reports that will be
needed to tell the whole sad story
the commission says that for the
next biennium Minnesota will need
$14, 625,0 900 q year. In terms Of our
present tax system this means an
II mill increase over the present
rate Of 12.45 which Is regarded as
excessive.
In terms Of unemployment, Of
destruction Of property values, Of
encouragement Of industries, the
increase Of the state property tax
to such an extent would mean in
calculable injury.

COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

Elmer Benson is certainly cham
ping at the bit. He Is so anxious to
gain the plaudits Of labor that he
just can't keep his nose out Of 9TH
er peoples business during the few
weeks remaining before he becomes
governor. In fact, he has assumed
90 much and butted into state af-
fairs so often that 1t became nee
essary this week for Governor
Petersen to show him his place,
which he did in no uncertain
terms. Gov. Petersen's term, while
1t will be short one, will be one
that will long be remembered for
various reasons both by Farmer
Laborites and all others Of the
state. It looks as If he has the stuff
Of which good governors are made,
regardless Of party affiliations; and
he appears to be sincere In his de-
sire to eliminate some Of the mis-
takes Of the former administra-
ton. He also has the courage of
his convictions and strength to
fight for what he believes to be
right. AS long as 1t had to be q

judges bring in their returns within "a hours or in 70
hours If they more than SO miles from the coun-
V seat He states they should be required to bring
the returns in the same night. In this modern age
people want to know the results of elections as soon
as possible, and with modern conveniences such as
we have today, there is no reason why this cannot
be accomplished In the past election it was several
days before some of the townships had sent the re-
turns to the County Auditor and hence 1t was q week
later before the results of those townships could be
published Among other reforms he urges the abol-

The total population of Palestine is little over
200 900: of these about sixty-three per cent are
Mohammedans thirty per cent are Jews, and seven
per cent. or 100000 are Christians. The Jews are
increasing in number more rapidly, through mm-

comparatively well educated and quite influential,
the most of them being either themselves converts

81 per cent
This section opens up the State TO the
unrestricted sale of every known alcohollc
beverage containing up to p per cent. OIL
alcohol.
We believe the most prejudiced and con-
trary wet in the State will admit that a
beverage containing 81 per cent OF aico-
hol by weight is intoxicating.
The vets in the Legislature declined TO
allow county commissioners the discretioh
of refusing to permit the sale OF beer ana
wines in their counties This forces such
sales upon all counties and floods the en-
tire State with alcoholic beverages con-
tanning up to 81 per cent of alcohol ana
these beverages are sold with less regula-
ton or control than is applied to soft
drinks.
These alcoholic beverages are SOLD by
day and by night on week days and sun
days. in cities, towns, and in country dis-
tricts: the sale is unrestricted and uncon-
trolled.
