the chair desires to make a statement. The rules of the house prohibit smoking inside this hall. Complaint has boen made more than once about the violation of this rule. Now there is plenty of space outside for gentlemen to smoke. "And while the chair is about it, he will suggest it is a good thing for members to keep their feet down from the tops of seats." Thus he robs members' of one of the pleasures of legislative life The seats are comfortable and the back of the chair in front is just the place to Test a pair of No. ll's. Members from the West seem to have taken to the practice of placing feet on the backs of chairs just as readily as they would hang them on the railing of the country hotel back home. People from all over the world have seen congressional feet on the tops or chair seats and have gone away, noting in their travelogue diaries that it is one of the sights of the American legislature. Hereafter it will be a bold congressman (or a new one) who will dare to rest his brogans on the chair of the fellow in front of him.

Little White House Baby Poses for His Picture ON the day when Francis Sayre, the eleventh baby born in the White House, was a week old he was presented with an effigy of a Princeton tiger, that he might be influenced in his youth toward seeking an education within the institution recently under

the guidance of his famous grandfather. Then he was furnished with a neat little pair of boxing gloves, that, as his granddad the president said, he might learn to "strike out for himself" in due season. Next came to the White House a serviceable pair of blue jean overalls that he might ever be reminded that he is to be one of the great mass of working people on whom the welfare of the

republic depends. He posed for the camera as evidence that he and his relatives appreciate the fact that he is u real White House baby and that all the people of the United States are interested in him. These pictures were intended only for distribution among members of the presidential family. When the photographers got their opportunity they took many snaps at the defenseless infant. That's a pretty good record for one week for any baby that hasn't yet learned to make a speech, that isn't yet inured to the customary White House habir. of being interviewed regularly, but he's growing. That much may be admitted on no less authority than that of the president himself. Of course the youngster started with a handicap, Everyone thought naturally that he would be named after his distinguished grandfather, but grandfather had something to say about that. He Van ted to give the little fellow a "square deal," and start even with the world, so he was finally named Francis Sayre. Though there have been eleven White House babies, all of whom have prospered, there was but one child of a president born within the executive mansion. That was Miss Esther Cleveland.

Secretary Daniels Is Proud of These Five Middies SECRETARY DANIELS has received from the naval academy at Annapolis a photograph of which he is extremely proud. Those to whom he displayed it at the navy department were willing to bet that the picture represented a quintette of middies at the

ranks of tle navy under the newly enacted law of 1914, which permits 15 enlisted men to enter the academy from the service every year. The enlisted men who may be admitted to the academy under this law must be citizens of the United States, not over twenty years of age, they must have served at least one year in the navy, and they are subject to the same physical and mental examinations as are required for all other nominees, presidential and congressional. They are obliged to conform to the standards in every respect, and are subject after their admission to the same rules and regulations as apply to all other midshipmen. The naval appropriation bill was not passed by the senate until June 2, 1914. The examinations for enlisted men were held on August 3, 1914, just two months later. In view of the limited time that candidates had to prepare for the examinations, it is regarded as gratifying that as many as five candidates succeeded in meeting all the requirements. By the time the next examination is held, April 5 1915, candidates will have had additional time in which to prepare, and it is expected that the number of candidates will be greatly increased.

Would Not Break Rule for President's Daughter EVER employee and a large number of the members ot the house are talking today about the nerve displayed by a capitol elevator man named Kenner in refusing to allow Mrs. McAdoo, wife of the secretary of the treasury, to ride in his car. The ele-

vator runs in a shaft on the outside of which, on every floor, is a sign reading: "Exclusively for members of congress and the press." Mrs. McAdoo. accompanied by several friends, approached the elevator on the gallery floor and rang the bell. Kenner, the elevator man, pulled the car up from the main floor, but he saw in the group ol" waiting visitors neither a member of con

gress nor a newspaper man "You cannot ride in this car, he said, refusing to open the gate. "Why not?" asked one of the men in the party. Kenner pointed to the sign. "But you don't understand," said the spokesman. "This is the party of Mrs. McAdoo, daughter of the president and wife of the secretary of the treasury. " "Yes. 1 do understand; J know Mrs. McAdoo every time I see her; but my orders trom the speaker of this house are to obey that sign." With that he jerked the controller back and the car sank to its resting place on the main floor, Mrs. McAdoo's party then descended in a neighborlag public elevator.

of the house members were violating house rules by smoking in the chamber, despite the rigorous censorship on smoking upheld by the doorkeeper and his minions. Speaker Clark, himself a strict observer of the house rules in every sense of the word, rose upon the rostrum, gavel in hand, at the close of a vote on one of the bills, and said: "Before taking up the next bill

The secretary admitted that they were middies, full-fledged, and possessed of all the other qualifications and prerogatives of any other midshipmen, and yet they were different, in the sense that these five middies had won their way into the academy by competitive examination from the ranks of the enlisted personnel of the naval service. They were the first five enlisted men to enter the naval academy from the YOU CANNOT RIDF Iff THIS CAR

CHANGES IN COATS FEW ADOPTED STYLES WILL BE CAR"RIED INTO SPRING. Separate Wraps Will Rely on Fabrics for Differences in Effects Serges of All Weaves and Finishes in Favor. The generally adopted lines of narrow shoulder and wide skirt will be carried into spring, and the separate coats will rely on the fabrics for any change in effect Which material will you have? There are the new covert cloths that have always stood the tests of time, and return from time to time after a little rest. The suits of this luaicimi navtJ ueen auuu guuu meuu . that the separate coats are to profit . from their example. Covert cloths in tan and green will be in vogue. Serges of all finishes and weaves will be in high favor. Those in dark blue and green and all shades of brown will be in order. They will be matched in the color of braid and wooden buttons and trimmed with these practical materials. Gabardines will also be in good standing for the new coats. This material is good in color, and has a wearing quality that is a desideratum when topcoats are considered. Novelty worsteds and woolens in light weights will be made' in sports coats and topcoats Sor the informal hours. The raglan sleeve and high belt line will be in evidence and will be of leather, suede cloth or soft suede. Checks and broken plaid effects are to be used, and the trimming will be in a color that repeats the shade of one thread in the weave. PANTALETS UNDER SKIRT This striking gown might have stepped from a daguerreotype of the forties, but it will actually be worn at a prelenten dance. The skirt, a quaint shirred and twisted affair of goldcolored taffeta with a tucked ruffle, is lifted to show the pantalets of ruffled tulle. The bodice is exceedingly negligible, a wisp of tulle over the shoulder and short puffed sleeves of taffeta being all there is to it. GOOD USE FOR THE EYELET May Be Employed Effectively in Many Ways Example in a Recent Centerpiece. The eyelet s quite as accommodating as the French knot, and can be used effectively for so many different designs, varying in size from a mere transparent point to the size of the natural grape, although the necessity for the latter size is rare. An up-to-the-minute art needlework shop recently showed an effective centerpiece of blackberries and their foliage. The blackberries instead of being done in the usual French knot stitch, were formed of eyelets, the tiniest kind. The eyelets changed the centerpiece from a rather commonplace design to one of distinct individuality, and the sales person back of the counter said the store couldn't keep enough of the designs in stock. It is sometimes necessary for the blackberries to have their dots spread farther apart for the eyelets than for the knots, although it must be remembered that the eyelets are of the tiniest and that line thread and a fine needle are used in the working of them. The California pepper design is also displayed to best advantage when worked in eyelets instead of solid stitch. A centerpiece with a grape border is ten times as effective in eyolet work for the grapes as when the grapes are worked in solid stitch or outline. Huckleberries and mulberries should also be worked in eyelets. Remember that if the eyelet edges are worked too heavily the artistic effect desired in such d?sisms is lost. Flower center

OF LATEST CUT AND DESIGN

Collar and cuffs of plain green cloth; a very large button fastens the belt; smaller ones are sewn on the cuffs. Gray felt hat, trimmed with green velvet and a small mount. Material required for the costume: Five yards 46 inches wide. USE ALCOHOL ON THE HAIR Especially If It Is Apt to Get Dusty and Unmanageable Is This Recommended. If the hair is dusty and unmanageable after a journey of any sort, try using alcohol to make it fluffy. The alcohol will dry in a few moments and the hair will be ready then to arrange. Many women who have taken a railroad journey of several hours' duration to a wedding or dance have found their hair, owing to the heat and dust of the journey, quite heavy and dir,ty, and have despaired of getting it in shape in time for the festivities. A shampoo takes too long to be indulged in while one is dressing and sometimes it leaves the hair too fluffy for immediate managing. To get back to the alcohol treatment. Part the hair and rub a little alcohol on a piece of gauze on the scalp until it is free from dust. Then rub the hair about the brows and ears and th nape of the neck with the alcohol. Of course, it should first have been brushed as free as possible from dust. Then let the hair hang loosely until the alcohol has dried out The hair will be light and fluffy. may often be eyeleted instead of worked solidly or in French knots, and j there are ever so imany other designs which eyelets will enhance. BEST OF BRAIDED RAG RUGS Good Effect Is Easily Attainable by Woman With Skill and Proper Sense of Color. Everyone would have one or more braided rag rugs if they knew how much they are admired. Braided with four strands, using only two colors, two strands black (old stockings are fine), with two of some color, make a nice rug. To sew, cut braid any length desired and sew with a strong thread to within about two Inches of each end, letting this be for a fringe. When sewed together, each color forms a stripe. To make the stripe run one way always begin braiding by putting "first strand over; to make stripe run the opposite direction begin braiding by putting the first strand under. Lacking enough of any two colors, use different colors 1n braids for the outer rows, or if it is hit or miss sew all light ones together and all dark ones together, then use two strands of each. As you work you will be able to plan many ways of braiding the colors that you have. Interesting Coats. There are some interesting imported coats made of big shawls or steamer rugs, with fringe around the bottom and edging the cape section that falls over the sleeves, or sometimes edging the widt collar instead

When the house is afire, it's about the same as when disease begins to show, it's no time to talk but time to act delay is dangerous remove th cause of the trouble at once. "For a number of years," wrote a Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet I was so fond of it, I could not give it up. At last I got so bad that 1 made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely most of the time with palpitation of the heart I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism.

Now I can eat anything and digest it without trouble. 1 sleep like a baby, and my heart beats strong and regularly. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me.
