The building complete, according to the estimates submitted last night, will cost about $615,000. Here’s a Paris designe’s idea of something smart and practical for street wear. It consists of a long bodice of figured silk, joined to a skirt of velvet striped crepe. The skirt may be looped at the hem and look perfectly conventional. Or, in an instant, the loop can be released and fascinating bloomers,« of the same material as the blouse, are revealed. The Falsely influence having impressed itself everywhere else in the node has now invaded the field of veils. Some of the newest ones are in Paisley patterns, or are banded with colorful Paisley chiffon. Wide sashes of satin ribbon, with ends that reach below the'hem of the skirts are worn on the new black satin and lace frocks. Nearly every gown, if it is dark in tffne, is brightened by some vivid touch of color. Jade Green, coral ami Alice blue are the most popular shades for these sashes.

BERNE PEOPLE COINGJBROAD Four Adams Co. People Sail W ith Party of Men* nonite Missionaries Four Berne young people were included in a party of ten Menuonltes from northeastern Indiana who left Fort Wayne yesterday afternoon over the Pennsylvania railroad on the first lap of the long journey which will eventually bring them into the heart of Africa, whore they will do missionary work under the direction of the Congo Mission of the Mennonite church. The Berne people were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Klopfenstein and the Rev. and Mrs. Henry H. Moser. The other members of the party were Miss Doering, Miss Richert, Miss Weith, Miss Gustefson, Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Valentine. . The Rev. Moser recently resigned as pastor of the Men nonite church at Grabill to take up missionary work. Sail From New York The party sails from New- York to Antwerp, Belgium, where they will spend a week equipping themselves for their long trip. From there they will sail to Matadi, on the western coast of Belgian Congo. The trip will then be continued into the inland of Belgian Congo, the party going up the Congo-Kasai river for a distance of 1,300 miles. After the stage is reached where the river is navigable no longer, the party will travel overland to Charlesville, whore the mission headquarters are located. It is expected that the trip will take about three months to complete. Miss Agnes Sprunger and Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Barkman of Berne, are already located at the Charlesville mission station. Mr. and Mrs Wm. Kensinger of this place, are now at home on furlough and will return •here in the fall. Mission Has Large Territory In Congo the Mennonite mission has allotted from the government for missionary activities a territory almost as large as the states of Indiana and Ohio combined. This territory is thickly populated with hundreds of villages and thousands of people. There are in this territory four different tribes with 'languages of their own. These people have never seen their language in writing and it is therefore the work of the missionaries to-grrinto these tribes, learn the language, reduce it to writ-ing-and teach them the Bible in their own language. As yet there are only three main mission stations in this vast territory. A mission station is somethng like a little town of about 175 to 250 acres of land. There is a church house, also a school housr, dormitories for the boys and for the girls to accommodate from three to four hundred; office building, store house, industrial school, eariH-nter shop, dispensary and other minor buildings. Besides these three main stations there are some 60 out stations. These are composed of natives who have become Christians, having completed their course in the public school in the mission station, and also graduated from the two years’ Bible course who are doing the work of a public school teacher and a preacher; that is they teach their own people how to read and write, and also take care of the Sunday school ami religious services.

FILIBUSTER TO BE CONTINUED Democrats Continue Fight in Senate to Defeat Ship Subsidy Bill t --- — (United Press Service) Washington, Feb. 21.—(Special to Daily Democrat)—“All deals arc off, the fight will go on indefinitely.” With this announcement Senator Jones of Washington, today prepared as the senate met at 11 o'clock to continue holding out against the Democratic filibuster against the administration's ship subsidy bill. Neither President Harding nor any administration leader in the senate has the slightest intention of surrendering to the filibusters or of withdrawing the bill, Jones declared. It was revealed that Senator Smoot of Utah had blocked an agreement which was about to be consumated with the filibusterers under which the senate would have *®|ed al. noon today ou the motion to substitute the filled milk bill for the subsidy. Though administration forces felt they had the votes to beat the tilled milk measure off, Smoot < said he would object to any agreement that conceded anything to the foes of the subsidy. 0 ■, £_|—|_WANT ads eakn—s—s—» !
