Congress Would Settle Racial Question
WASHINGTON. Senator Spencer of Missouri made an address the other day In support of Iiis 1)111 (S. 4107) for tin creation of a racial commission to promote harmony between whites and Macks.

Historical Significance of the Year 1920

There any however, many loral celebrations scheduled for the year. In this connection, an address to the American people of the Snlgrao Institution, In association with 11 long II it of American organizations and individuals of prominence, was trail Into the Congressional Uecord by I Vss of Ohio. This address says, among other things : It so happens that the year Is doubly significant historically. In that 0(H) years ago beginning on the Mth of July there was being held In Jamestown, Virginia colony, the first American legislative assembly, culled hy free men, of lawful age, and of full understanding. And while these first Americans were instituting self-governmeat on the American continent a little group of Kngllsh humble folk who during a lü-ycnr sojourn in Holland, to which they had tied from Urltaln to be free to worship God In the manner of which their conscience approved. w:rs already tanking ready to go to America and establish In the new world n home of - religiousfreelom. Hy one of those strange coincidences which sometimes seem to et aside certain clays and endow them with traditional significance, July 150 and November 11 take n such an endowment, Deadlock of Congress PßOM OUR 1 JV T IN TUM deadlock between senate and house over the agricultural appropriations bin oho of the items If not the chief Item-was that for 17., 110 for "congicNsional seed distribution." Generally speaking, the senate was determined to abolish this old-time appropriai !n ami the house was determined to retain It. Yet then were '.nany senators for the "seed and many representative against them. las and das were spent in dehnte en - the subject, of course, many curious things were said. Here are a few picked at random from the Interminable debate ! Senator Gronna, North Iakota I am unite sure that no senator will contend that a package of sxed can be sent through the malls for les than Like Roll of Drums SINCE Or. Kllot of Harvard made his criticism of West IVlnt as an educational institution many defenders ef the famous t'nlted States Military academy have come to the front,- including Secretary of Watt Hakcr, who has sent an ofiUlal communication to ooT'gro.

In that place words nie not the more emblems of nn exalted sentiment. They are the basis of the code bv which lives of these men are shaped. In short, the best part f the Instruction at West Point is not taught from books. It Is rharacter building, democracy, duty. l:o:,or. self-reliance. It training a man to stand on his feet. "In th"e things' ;lys the West Pointer, "we may have a peer, but we have not n superior on earth. "It is worth while to i;rov wln.t West Point does nt lack. We le:.ch no iMns'; no socialism, no sovietMu. Anybodv looking to this inMltuth-n to I'C the leader In new types of government will look In vain. WI.en we teach the 'aws f pn pcrty, we t;.h then as

That said commission shall he appointed by the president of the United States, by nnd with the advice and consent of the senate, and shall he divided Into three groups of three men in each group, two white and one colored; that the term of the first croup shall le for one year, the second for two yenrs, and the third group for three years. Sec. .1. That the commission shall have authority to Inquire Into and thoroughly Investigate the conditions surrounding the colored people1 in the United States, ascertain, If possible, the cause of the unrest among- them, nnd, If there be racial friction, the cause of the same, and to suggest such remedies as they may deem best nleulated to relieve the situation ami to
bring about harmonious relations between white and colored A'acricans. for July rtO joins Cavalier nnd Pilgrim together as twin sources of that high inspiration which met In the convention of tin? great Constitution, and November 11 Is not only the anniversary day of the Mnyllower compact, the second assumption by Kngllsh colonists In America of an Inallenahle right of self-government, but Is also the memorable day of the beginning of the armistice which closed the great war, in which the descendants of Pilgrim and Cavalier and their kin across seas fought and won together. Therefore the year 1020 being n historic anniversary year as well as the fifth year of overmuch dangerous propaganda, false counsel, nnd loose statement hy public characters It would seem to be vitally essential that there should be brought to the consciousness of the American people In a great national celebration the meaning and the priceless worth of our free Institutions. ... Over "Free Seeds" one cent, and it costs for transportation alone $10.000.000 and more. Representative Lnngley, Kentucky My observation has been that the men who talk the loudest and protest the most against the distribution of garden seeds are the stingiest men In this house. Senator King. UtahI think It Is a most disgraceful performance that we should appropriate money for this purpose when we know the object of It and know the misuse of the appropriation. Senator Thomas. ColoradoJust as long as the house knows that the senate will ultimately yield under the circumstances, just so long will such abuses as this old seed abuse, that is hoary with age and claims to he sanctified by time, be continued upon thU bill. Senator Kenyon, Iowa I do not believe there Is anything that has held up the American congress to so much ridicule and contempt as this free-seed Item. Senator Smith, Georgia I think It Is all right.

During tue IIS years of töe academy's existence the country has never lot a war and the supreme direction of all Its wars has been in the hands of West Pointers and the policies have been academic policies. No other single Institution In this country has produced so many men so pre-eminent In a single calling.

In Fancy - Jewels
-XLarge and Long Earrings is Fashion Followed in Paris. Finest Diamonds and Emeralda Set in Jade, Ebony or Filigree Silver. Are At the opera, and at specially smart private entertainments, very beautiful "fancy Jewelry" is now worn, notes a Paris fashion writer. 'Fancy" Jewels are u thing apart from Jewels in the ordinary sense of the word. They are often very valuable, but they are nearly always fantastic In design. This applies especially to hair ornaments ami to earrings The tinest diamonds and emeralds are .-et lu. Jade, ebony or filigree silver and the ornaments are specially designed by futurist and cubist artists. This Is, of course, only a passing fashion, and even u.f that It Is not in the best taste, still It is much in evidence. It is not often that oue now sees really dignllled ornaments worn utiles. fur a gala performance or for a ceremonious dinner. The taste of the day Is for "fancy ornaments," but the Pnrislennes insht that these shall be expensive and original In design. For example, a pair of earrings recently worn at the opera by a wellknown Parisan be.tuty. They were large rings of cut Jet In the coutot of which swung tiny owls made? of diamonds ami emeralds. The rings were very large and light. Another pair of earrings which attracted a good deal of notice took the form of long lozenges of pale green Jade thickly Inset with dhuuomfs swinging from crystal rings. Fairings are distinctly fashionable and nome of the Parislennes wear them large and long". Cut Jet carinas, circular In form ami sparkling with loose diamonds, are worn at dance ton, and very often one sees large hat pins which match the ear ornaments. And apropos hat pins they become more nnd more elahorate and expensive. Now-a-days it is the fashion to have the hat itself very simple nnd the pins which keep It in place as expensive as possible and as ornate.

Tea Gown Is Back to Its Own
Garments Modeled on Chinese Patterns and Are Worn .Close About Throat. The Kngllsh woman never really liked the tea gown until the war came. Kven the Japanese kimono, observes a writer in the Manchester Guardian, could not rid her of the Idea that the tea gown savorod of the dressing gown and was in conilict with a strictly tailor-made ideal. With the war the tea p)wn entered another phase. It made peace. The Kngllsh woman found In It nn admirable substitute for the discarded evening dress. Finally, It appealed to the sense of the picturesque, usually one of the most fatal elements In the Uritlsh ilress Ideal, and It appealed with unusually phasing tesults. The tea gown is now becoming part of every woman's wardrobe. Ten gowns Just now are very pretty. Many of them are modeled on Chlneso patterns and gft so fjir even as to be worn closed about the throat, there Is somthin;: very distinctive about the Chinese coat fastening close round the neck. The long Chinese cent is aNo lelng worn as a tea gown, and fhls Incidcn. tally is a far better use for It than that of evening coat, when Its rotors rarely harmonize with outside western dinglf!i'-i.

For the woman with a slender figure this creation will be most pleasing. green and white cord, and a Jade necklace ending In n plaque-like pendant accompanies it. llasque blouses are usually of navy blue or black, but have bright-colored embroideries, such as oranN green or red. Straw Is sometimes used as an ornamentation. It Is applied hy an ovor-nnd-ovcr stitch of silk threads. Another moans of Introducing; color Into blouses Is through trimmings of hright leather. The leather Is appllqued to the cloth In Interesting designs and also used for belts. Mouses are made entirely of leatjier. In these, however, bright colors are not often used, the preference being for browns. Suits for the Summer. Kegardless of the approach of warm wciithcr suits of wool fabric. In navy particularly, continue to be In great demand, and throughout the summer there will always he weather when the wool fabric suit will be found extremely comfortable. A wool fabric suit is a better selection for cool summer days than a dress of woolen irnterial, because a light weight blouse may be worn with the suit and the coat or Jacket removed if it becomes uncomfortable. The suit featuring' a fabric combination Is very popular Just now. Mack and white is regarded as very smart, the most favored combination being a plain black velveteen Jacket or coat with white satin or wool fabric skirt. Frequently cuffs and collar, pocket facings, etc., are In white. Veils for Summer. The line dotted veil is the most popular this season, and shows gray and brown as the newest colors. Another veil very popular for summer wear Is made In squares of a line mesh with a wide border of georgette In rose ör peach color. When this veil Is worn, only the eyes are seen through the mesh, while the chllTon frame enhances the color of the (hecks. gether and retaining only the coat. For these straight or academic tea gowns, stulTs cannot be too gorgeous. It Is one advantage of the tea gown, and 0 slight one. that It admits of every gorgeous color and color combination. Vivid Colore for Fall. Very bright colorings in the embroideries used to trim fall frocks are heraided in advance models nnd In fashion bulletins sent over from Paris as guides to American apparel producers. Piping's and braid strappings In vividly contrasting colors are also reported as being favored by French designers. So far nothing that I j very different from the present styles are indicated for the season Immediately to come, although there will, of course, be some novelties as the season advances. The first point to be considered by the woman who wants to be well dressed Is to know her own tlgure, coloring ami general type, so that she may choose clothes that will be becoming to her. The second is to wear the right clothes i.t the right time. Lace on Lingerie.

After starting for his work the other morning Taylor happened to think of something ho hnd forgotten and returned to the house to get It. While walking nhout the kitchen he heard a great racket upstairs. Considerably alarmed he called: "What In the world Is the matter, Mary? JIns anything happened?" There was a moment's silence, then his wife replied : "Oil, Is that you?" "Yes, who did you think It was?" "I heard some one walking About down there nnd I thought it was a burglar."

Experiments have proved it entirely practicable to deliver belated transatlantic mall steamers nt Ma by airplanes. The ship may have taken Its departure several hours previously, yet the Hying machine, with a speed of 100 miles or more an hour, can easily catch up with it and put the mail aboard. A plane of the -"Hying boat" type Is used for this purpose, and the waterproof mall bag Is held in n chute on the shVe of the hull. The aviator files over the ship and the ringing entangles a long line dropped from the plane that bus grapple tails on Its end. This line Is attached to the mall bag, which, when the grapple lulls catch, Is Jerked nut of Its chute, falling Into the sea. It Is then an easy matter to haul the mall bag aboard, while the steamer continues Its uninterrupted voyage. Out of Luck. Upon my return from calling one afternoon I ran Into my mother's.
