spring colors begin to clarify. - Such tones a8 are belng 'P rolnoted I tor the winter resort season—a pre-| dude to spring, include blues, some which have a purple tonality. Others border on a light navy while tiers again are descriptively dubbed linen blues. Greens of course are ( highlighted, both in yellowish and , bluish cimte—While pinks seem to be specially backed for Palm Beach. , These are soft and milk In character ,nd ranking favorites at this writing. The purple, violet and lavender ra „ ge which has been impressive . throughout the winter season is advanced for spring, also rather vivid . reds and some bordering on orange which are distinctly Spanish in flavor a „d seem a logical sequence of the . capucine tones so conspicuous throughout the winter. , One must not forget peach, which had opera sponsorship or soft toasty shades so flattering to the average woman.

which wag held at the home of Mrs. R. D. Myers, Monday afternoon. Mrg. Fristoe opened the program by asking Mrs. Frank Downs to read a poem, ".Miracles” which was written by Minnie Leona Upton. Mrs. Frisoe then gave a definition of miracles stating that it was made up of two Hebrew words, Oth meaning a efgn and Moflth, wonder. A 1 miracle Is a supernatural occurance ’ or act; something to be wondered or marveled at. The meaning of mlr- 1 acles in our day is a work or sign that is above and beyond nature. It 1 Is the result of a new power or new law or a law heretofore unknown to ! us which produces effects not includ- , ed in our ordinary experiences. The leader read the closing verse in the poem "To a Watefowi" by William Cullen Bryant. She explained the miracles in things we have about us, such as color. We know little about it and the definition of color is ether invisable vibration. Difference in vibration rates make difference in color. Mark Twain says, "everyone talks about the weather but no one ever does anything about U—it is beyond man’s power.'* Mrs. Fristoe told of Professor Cox who is located high in the tower of the Federal building In Chicago, and how his associates make weather forecasts, the signs they look for and the weather map which they go by. Neither moon nor stars have any effect on the weather, only one heavenly body—the sun. Mis. H. F. Callow read a sub-topic on "The Almanac." Mrs. C. D. Lewton reported upon the life of Elrich and Mrs. H. Ferntheil read the article “Some Poor Blind Folk Have Never Seen a Miracle,” by Bruce Barton. Mrs. Fristoe dwelt on the miracles of the Bible and said, "To leave out the so-called miracles, you leave out a great part of’the Gospel. It is like a portrait that has been so hacked 1 that you can no longer recognize the face.” A small boy once asked his father why God did not give people of the Bible times telephones and modern improvements. The father answered and said, "I haven’t the least doubt that He could have, but He gave them what they needed most —for when they were ravished by all kinds of diseases, He heZed them." Then the miracle of Jesus walking on the seas was told, of the fishermen 1 being afraid until Jesus told them that tiiey should not fear, and the ’ wind ceased to blow when he ordered it to be still. The paper was closed with the , verse: God moves in a mysterious ' way, His wonders to perform, He plants his feet upon the wave, And rides amid tha storm. 4 The uext meeting of the Research Club will be' held Monday, December 9, with Mrs. L. A. Graham as hostess and Mrs. Miller will act as leader, taking as her subject the Book Review and "The Mountains of California,” by John Muir.

During the business session a report of the convention of the State Federation of Woman's Club which was recently held in Fort Wayne was given by the president. Mrs. E. D. Engeler.

Coverdale, and Miss Josephine Anderson and the music department.

Q ANNUAL MESSAGE URGES HARMONY FOR NEW SESSION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE SIX) der his oath of office is to secure the enforcement of the laws. "First, there should be an immediate concentration of responsibility and strengthening of enforcement agencies of the Federal government by transfer to the Department of Justice of the Federal functions of detection and to a considerable degree of ptcs'JCUtion, which are now lodged In the prohibition bureau in the treasury; and at the same time the control of the distribution of industrial alcohol and legalized beverages should remain in the treasury. Second, provision should be made for relief of congestion in the Federal courts by modifying and simplifying the procedure for dealing with the large volume of petty prosecutions under various Federal acts. Third, there should be a codification of the laws releating to prohibition to avoid lit' l necessity now existing, of restoring to more than 25 statutes enacted at various times over -ID years. Technical defects in these statutes that have been disclosed should be cured. 1 would add to these recommendations the desirability of reorganizing the various services engaged in the prevention of smuggling into one liorder patrol under the coast guard. Further recommendations upon the subject as a whole will be developed after further examination by the law enforcement comtniss on, but It is not to be expected that any criminal law will ever lie fully enforced so long as criminals exist. "The District of Columbia should be the model of the city law enforcement in the nation.” — —o GRAND CHAMPION JUDGING STARTS AT STOCK SHOW (covrixcien from fake oxe»
