WASHINGTON, Nov 27. An swering the mail orders:
 T. C., Garrison, N. Y.-The pres ent session of Congress will have to last until December 23 to break the record for the longest sitting on record. It already is the second longest and the "gentlemens agree ment' for three-day recesses now in operation does not come to an end until December l8, so there is good chance that the record will be broken. The longest sitting of Congress was the second session of the 65th-"the World War Con- gress'-which convened on Decem- Der 3, 1917, and adjourned Novem- Der 21, 1918, remaining in session a total of 354 days. The present "gentlemen's agreement" is actu- ally a long recess of some five weeks, during which skeleton staff" meets every three days tthe longest recess permitted by law)

Look for a Quality Coat
From Neckline to Hem.

The story of How Select My Winter
Coat should include at least one
chapter on planning at Home" I
should take time out someday soon
to ask myself a few questions. Do
want a dress, sport, or general purpose
coat? How much can I afford to
spend? How long must I wear the
coat, and what style will probably be
Serviceable as well as becoming for
that length of time? What colors will
harmonic with other clothing I am
likely to choose. After making these
decisions, I'm ready for the shopping
trip.
The 1910 fall woolens are soft and
have an easy drape. There are smooth
fabrics, all-over pebbly surfaces, and
brushed-up surface effects. Some
fabrics have slightly raised patterns of
minute nubs, checks, stripes, or fine
diagonal corded effects.
AS far as style is concerned, I will
find the silhouette trend still en-
phasized, but there is less flare to the
skirt, fuller sleeves, fur cuffs and bor-
ders of both flat and bulky furs. Popu-
lar colors are black, reddish ard cocoa
brown, dark green with a blush cast,
medium messy green, very dark red
and medium blue.
I should look for labels to tell me
about qualities, cannot see-color fast
ness, wrinkle resistance, shrinkage
amount of wool in the material and
information about the interlining.
Whether a coat is made of worSted
or wooden material makes a difference
to me for 1 know that worsted yarns
are very different from most WOODEN
yarns. Worsted materials are made of
long, even fibers combed parallel, and
the weaves are definite, smooth and
sturdy, making for long wear. Ordin-
airy wooden materials used in many
coatings have short fibers, not combed
parallel, and the weaves are less smooth
and sturdy. Poor quality wooden ma
terial has harsh lifeless feeling, while
quality wool will feel springy when 1
crumple it in my hard.
I am buying a lining in that winter
coat, too I want it to match the coat,
with the hem of the lining up so that
its lower edge is an inch shorter than
the coat Sleeve Innings are usually
hemmed separately at the armholes.
I will look for a three-quarter inch
deep pleat straight down the middle
of the coat lining to ease wear at the

CdreLessness is Cause
of Most Home Burns.

OF all the accidental horrors that can
befall human beings, burning to death
is the most fearbul-and, next to deaths
from falls, the most common of all
the tragedies that happen at home.
The Minnesota State Medical associ-
atoms committee on public health edu-
cation calls attention to them in a
bulletin issued today as part of their
September campaign to aid in pre-
venting home accidents because they
believe that most of the IS deaths that
occurred during the first six months of
1910 in Minnesota homes could, with
proper care, have been prevented
Some of the deaths, fifteen of them,
were in children Three overturned
pets of hot coffee on themselves, seven
fell into scalding pals or tubs of hot
water, carelessly left where babies could
fall into them. The others died in
fires that consumed the entire home
and these fires, in turn occurred from
over-heating or faulty home equipment
and defective wiring.
Others died needlessly because they
started fires with kerosene, or mis-
used cleaning fluids or they were
smoking in bed.
There is only one way to save such
lives and all the additional lives that
will be lost during the last half of 1910
from the same causes, and that is by
constant watchfulneSS and care, accord
ing to the physicians New homes and
modern equipment by themselves will
not help because no equipment is safe
unless it is used properly and kept in
repair.
Nothing that safety engineers can
devise will prevent the fatal burning
of children if their parents are not
watching TO prevent them from turn
ing switches, gas cocks, pulling out
electric cords, reaching for handles of
utensils on the kitchen stove, the
bulletin declares, and nothing in the
whole range of accidents to human
beings is so fraught with tragedy
and pain as the deaths of children from
these causes.
