Now is the time to get started on
your sewing for new season-when
the shops are brimming over with
tempting materials. and you're dead
sick of all the clothes you've been
wearing. 1t costs so little to have
pretty new dresses. when you make
them yourself with these simple
patterns. And, of course, the thing
that most of us crave especially is
new frock for general wear-not too
dressy for business and shopping,
not too tailored for afternoon
just a real good dress of the type
you can always put on and feel
smart in. Here are some new ways
to make just such dresses, and
they're all patterns that will be
equally smart during the spring
months to come. You'll certainly
use them many more times than
once. Each includes a step-by-step
sew chart.
Here's perfect combination of
charm and practicality-a suave,
beautifully fitted princess frock
Q848-B) with the very smart .dou-
BILE swing skirt. This design suggests
two different necklines-one with a
tailored little boy" collar and the
other high and plain, so choose
which ever is the most becoming. A
perfect undercoat style, with Moth
ing to get mussed and rumpled by
your fur collar, this dress is stun
ming for right now in faille, mate
lasse or thin wool, and it will be
equally smart for street wear later,
in fiat crepe or silk print.
Perfectly designed to give the
high-bosomed, slim-hipped sill
houette that women's figures re-
quire, 1923 has "above-the-table"
detailing that makes it particularly
smart for bridge and lunch parties
Tucked on the shoulders, pleated
just above the waist, the bodice is
finished with a scalloped, square
neckline made more becoming by a
narrow frill. 1t has the plain squared
shoulders, pleated, not gathered,
that look best on mature figures.

James A. Noe, a candidate for Gov
ernor and once friend of Huey
Long, telephoned the States city
desk from his Monroe home that
university materials were being used
to build new residence for a friend
of Leche.
Noe put the call through to Felix
Edward Hebert, who had succeeded
Crown as city editor. But it was
the same as calling Crown, for, in
stead of disappearing into an inner
office under the weight of the edi-
tor-managing editor title, he re-
manned in the city room.
Hebert and Crown consulted. serYt
out a photographer and reporter to
check, examined the picture of an
L. S. U. truck delivering window
sashes-made in the school-at the
home of Leche's friend in a New
Orleans suburb, and published the
story.
Two weeks later Leche was out
and Smith, head of the school, was
out, too. Leche is now under in
dictment for alleged mail fraud and
conspiracy to violate the Connally
"Hot Oil' Act. Smith Is serving
8 to "a years In the State peniten-
tiary for forgery. He also is under
two-year Federal sentence for mSil
fraud.
After that opening salute to the
Long forces, Crown continued his
editorial war left off in 1896. Some
of the highest figures in the State
administration are now under
charges. More than 300 indict-
ments have been returned by State
and Federal grand juries since that
day In June when he broke the story
about the window sashes.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Orders re-

manufacturers rose steadily in 1899,
and total bookings for the year ex-
ceeded 1898 by approximately IS
per cent.
Production, however, was unable
to keep pace with new orders and
sales actually. billed = customers
were only about Is per cent greater
than a year ago. Large backlogs Of
untitled orders assure a high rate

Mcdonald Praises
1899 Railroad Record
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PIeSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30
Angus Mcdonald, president OF the
Southern Pacific Co., said today
railroad enterprise and ingenuity
produced for the American public
in 1899 the best rail service in his
tory at the lowest rates anywhere,
except in Japan, where costs are
not comparable"
Reviewing the year, Mr.. McDon-
aid noted railroad employees wages
reached new peaks and taxes took
a higher proportion OF revenues
than ever before.
But the railroads" he added,
"failed to achieve hardly more, for
themselves, than just keep their
heads above water"

asked to name what he wanted.
Il don't want anything" Crown
told him.
you're fool then," Huey said.
Break Comes Suddenly.
"Col. Ewing told Huey something
he was about to do was unconstitu-
tional," Crown relates now. "And
Huey roared I'm the constitution,
amt I?'"
That was the real reason for the
break between the two men.
Col. Ewing died in 1881 and two
years later the Times-Picayune, a
morning paper, and the oldest in
the city, bought the States and con-
tinued publishing it as an after
noon paper with Crown still in the
city editors job.
Up to the time in 1886 when Gov.
Leche and the rest of Huey's lieu
tenants were elected to continue the
Kingf1sh regime, the States and
the Times-Picayune fought the
State administration bitterly.
Then they called a halt to let
Leche and the others start from
scratch again, strictly on their own,
with promises of decent administra-
ton to fulfill.
In the meantime j. Walker Ross,
editor of the States, died and Crown
was made editor and managing edi-
tor. Two weeks ago he also was ap-
pointed secretary protein of the
publishing company.

ing significance. Our govern
ment thus took the first step a.
way from democracy towards an
empire. At the behest of our
own imperial embition we have
not scrupled to play fast and
loose with the sovereignty of
the lesser states like Cuba, Haiti,
San Domingo, and the Philip
pine Islands as pawns upon the
imperial checksrhoard. This
tendency has steadily increased
with growing urge for econo-
mic expansion. Goldsmith's
motto, Honor sinks where COM
merce long prevails" never had
a better illustration.
Any government, whatever it's
type or character, which stress
es material ACKNOWLEDGEMENT at
the expense of human rights,
or, as William Jennings Bryan
used to say, which places the
dollar above the man, will be
tempted to abandon democracy
for the allurements of imperial
ism.
When we refuse to confer up
on the Filipino or the Porto Ri
can the full status of citizen
ship, We thereby violate our
claim to be a pure democracy.
A democracy cannot divide its
people into citizens and sub
jects by racial or geographical
divisions as empires do.
When the United States took
over the Philippine Islands by
conquest, / wrote all extended
dissertation in the Springfield
Republica on "The Negro and
Imperialism" in which l point
ed out that the brown men of
the Philippines and the black
men of America would be dealt
wit by the same formula OF in
feriority. The intervening forty
years of experience has steadily
tended to confirm that conclu-
sion.
Now that we are on the verge
of including another non-white
contigent in our racial amalgam,
there is grave danger that we
shall swerve still further from
the path of democracy.
