WASHINGTON. .Motorists may place their bets on nt least one political certainty In the vast presidential racing field. No matter who Is elected, the national pood roads movement will receive ;iu whole-hearted hacking of the White House. Without a single exception, all of tho presidential candidates whose opinions clash on most everything from the reason for 27 cent sugar to Uncle Sam's foreign policy, are In perfect accord concern Ins the vital Issue of Improved highways as a means to the future economic welfare of the country.

"No Sportsman" Is Verdict on the German

ÄMEKICA is a nation of sportsmen, and the decision of the English and Belgian Jockey clubs to bar from participation in racing and the refusal to accept for registration in the English stud bonk any alien enemy horses Is of great interest here. The French Jockey club lias not yet taken any formal action regarding alien owned horses, but It may confidently be expected to follow the? lead of its allies nnd neighbors. Whether the Jockey Club of America will take any action In the premises remains to bo seen. The United States Is so remote from the Interdicted countries that there is little likelihood 'of any German bred or owned thoroughbreds being sent here for racing. To Cut Soldiers War 11 All veterans holding government ll insurance will be able to pay their premiums at the local post offices If congress passes a bill which has Just been approved by the house committee cm interstate and foreign commerce. The measure revises the war risk insurance laws with a view to the elimination of much of the red tape, llepresentatlvo Sweet of Iowa has served is chairman of the subcommittee which has been handling this class of legislation. The plan as outlined In the bill has the approval of the treasury department, of which the bureau of war risk insurance Is a part.' It provides fo- the establishment of 14 regional cilices In the United States. The bureau of public health service and the federal board of vocational education have a like number of offices and an effort Is being made to co-ordinate the work to be rendered hy these three government agencies to eo'idief, sailors and- marines of the recent war. All of these office, will probably be consolidated in one building In each

"Every possible facility must be provided to encourago producers of farm commodities and merchandise to Increase production," declares Attorney General V. Mitchell Palmer, antl II. C. L. leader. "The Improvement and use of public highways, In addition to airways, railways and waterways, I vital to the progress and prosperity of the people." "We have had a great object lesson In the paved highways of California." says Senator Hiram Johnson. "They have been v. great factor in the development Oi the state. The Improvement of the highways of the nation undoubtedly will be of great economic value to the country as a whole." "Transportation has made every avenue of civilization," is the belief of Senator Warren G. Harding. There Is no advancement in production and exchange until there are highways1 to facilitate the transportation Involved. "Good roads construction retarded by the war should now be pushed vigorously," declared Senator Miles Polndexter. "I favor an extensive system of national roads built by the federal government and located with a view to military defense as well as civic and commercial use, and co-ordinated with existing highways."

Newark, N. J.; Schenectady, N. Y., and Buffalo, N. Y at a thousand per cent profit, arrived at Clarldge's, grabbing the royal suite. "The overalls campaign In America Is the biggest publicity stunt ever pulled off," said Mr. Sorenson. "It originated In the brain of a New York reporter, who, seeing the possibilities of the 'story went to the biggest overall firm In the country and put the scheme In operation, lie got $10,000 for the idea and was given a job at the head of the firm's publicity department Mr. Sorenson said the stock of his company bounded from 43 to COO in a few days after the idea was sprung. Sportsmen of all kinds, whether or not Interested In racing, are concerned In this action. The sportsman is the gentleman of sports. He plays fair. He Is a good winner nnd a better loser. "All men are equal on the turf and under It." The racing sportsmen of England and Belgium have served notice on the German that by their standards he Is no sportsman. This action will be a crushing blow to the horse breeding activities of Germany, Austro-IIungary, Bulgaria and Turkey. Thoroughbred sires, most of them of English lineage, were the foundation of the great army and racing studs developed by Germany and Austro-IIungary. The best were none too good in the establishment of a type of general purpose horse. The English Derby winners, Ard Patrick and Galtee Moore, each cost 5110,000, and were among the fine sires thnt were available to farmers and breeders at a nominal fee.

Attractive Model Pulls About Fioure; Shorter Design fcr Girls; Headgear Is Colorful.

Capes have by no means disappeared off the face of the earth. In fact, their numbers have increased astonishingly, according to a New York fashion authority. The shorter capes are the newest idea of a well-worked scheme capes that reach the waistline or just a little below, and then are so constructed that they pull' about the figure, forming a tight little place in the middle of the back, from which lines of draping emerge. These shorter capelets are particularly smart for the younger people, one would never suspect a cape of being surprisingly youthful, and yet these abbreviated affairs are certainly that. They are made, too, in fur, loose enough to be thrown back so that they will not become burdensome on warmer days. The cape, indeed, outsii; of the little animal neckpiece, is the fur idea of the moment. Many are the variations in style that have sprung into the popular market during the last few weeks. The hats that are most numerous along the avenue are bright and springlike in their coloring. There seems to be a decided leaning toward very bright and sparkling hats worn with coats or dresses or suits that are low and decidedly dark in tone. There is no happier combination. It Is no wonder, that, especially in the springtime, women lean to bright colored hats. They make the streets loo"k as though there was some reason for gayety and happiness. Of course, the CHIC BLACK TAFFETA FROCK 1 i 5S m 9 This is a short skirted and wide hipped black afternoon frock of taffeta which has been developed along the latest French lines. Are Still Slim Tailleurs and One-Piece Frocks Have Changed Noticeably From Last Summer's Styles. That Paris is herself again Is the general agreement of those who have een her fashion collections for 1920, according to Vogue. A new silhouette the "rove a pouf," Paris calls It Is introduced by several of the houses nnd is featured by ; least one of them. This silhouette, which adapts in charming frocks the bustle line of the eighties, is very becoming to certain small and slender types of women, who undoubtedly will feel the sell of its novei ty and charm. Its novelty, however, is somewhat less in America than In Paris, for this silhouette was revived to some extent in America during the war. Straight lines will be the rule of daytime. In tailleurs and one-piece frocks the lines seem to be even Etraighter than they were last summer. Hips are still lightly accentuated In some models, but this tendency is less noticeable this season than Inst. Many suits are simple and rather Ftrictly tailored, while others made of talTeta and other silken materials are elaborated with embroidery and really belong In the class of afternoon costumes. In jackets there are at least two types the short, square, free banging type which is wrongly called i:ton" for the Kton jacket is fitted with side seams and ends above the waist line and the almost three-quarter length coat, which may te straight or have very bouffant skirts.

Of Japanese crepe is this charming evening wrap. The design is handpainted in black, the effect being unusual, distinctive and quite stunning. green hat in the jade shades is the thing of the moment for those who can wear that color. And it is a color that is not easily adapted to those whose coloring does not exactly suit it. Kut then there are red hatscolorings to suit every type of complexion and the woman who has not at least one of these bright turbans is out of fashion's running. The hats, as never before, tend toward a tilt off the face. For many years we had the hats with siightly turned down brims. Now we have swung to extremes in the other direction, and nothing seems right on the head unless it turns directly away from the face. "Tarns" and threecornered hats turning away from the forehead hold the lead. Bold Stripes Modish Again. The old-fashioned stripe is boldly getting into some of the new wool challis, cashmeres and into cotton fabrics. They are seen in navy blue on white, cream and dull red grounds. The green stripes prevail on gray, light tan and white grounds. Red stripes are pronounced on white grounds. These fabrics are for skirts to be worn with white waists or with waists of the color of the stripe. New Spring Shade. Spring frocks of silk are in shades aptly named, such as sulphur, cinder, moth, pebble, eagle and scarab. Woolen materials may be of a dune shade, canton or musketeer blue, or date or bison brown. Quail, dove and crane are shades of taupe and gray. and Straight of skirts might be specified, but, in general, street clothes remain short FASHIONS IN BRIEF Loop fringe of tinsel thread is used to outline designs on foulard and taffeta frocks. Colored embroidery on white collar and cults makes a dainty finish for wash dresses for little folks. Panniers caught up in puffs add the necessary bouffant effect on some of the newest skirt models. Loose-legged Mexican boots of soft tan leather are a correct accompaniment of the sport costume. Ivory, amber and tortoise-shell are a few of the expensive mounts that are shown for small bags of elegance. Pink crepe narrowly hemmed with black satin and embroidered In black sat'n leaves Is one of the newer effects in lingerie that appeals to those seeking the unusual. Elaborate .handkerchiefs adorned with real lace and handwork of drawn thread are a necessary accessory, following the arrival of gorgeous ostrich fans. The Spanish note continues predominant In fashions for evening gowns, and the woman who possesses old Chnntilly lace Is fortunate as "well as cii'.irely in the mode if sie chooses to take advantage of her opportunity to achieve a beautiful evening frock. Frilly f Neckwear Favored. All the frilly forms of neckwear arc In high favor.

Six Bugle Blasts: Lost

NCW YOHK. Night had fallen over the ranges of forested hills which extend through the Palisades Interstate Park of New York and New Jersey. The lakes lying nt their feet were swathed with dense mist while the tree tops cut sharply into low masses of clouds. Ten large encampments, housing over 2,000 boy scouts, lay buried in silence. Suddenly at midnight word flew to headquarters that out In the great woods somewhere a boy was lost. A youngster tenderfoot from the big metropolis had strayed from his own campfire and no trace of him had been found. ' As quickly as the word had come, so rapidly It sped by motor cars, with motor boats pulsing their way flashlighting to all of the camps. As swiftly rs it came, so from out the many darkened tents fifteen hundred odd boy scouts fled, fleet of foot, on their errand of seeking the lost scout.

The success of his work among tho blinded men was realized, and he was made instructor at Evergreen. It was at a dance last autumn at Evergreen that the romance began. To say that It was a case of "love at first sight" would be only one-half true, and yet that Is just what It was.

In varied groups splashed through swampland and tangled thickets, all intent on their duty. Over the high ridges long rows of lights flickered wanly, piercing the vapors. Now and again shrill voices were heard reechoing back and forth calling, call Ing. Toward morning relays of haggard, tense scouts reported to headquarters that their search had been fruitless. From across the lakes and distant waterways swept hurriedly fresh troopi ready and anxious to continue tho search. It was then that a brisk wind tossed away the blankets of fog, revealing the kindly stars above. Now as the hours lengthened nlonq the roads, from distant valleys, from gullies and rocky corridors drenched with penetrating vapors you caught tho muffled tramp of boy scout feet. No longer did you hear them calling, for day was beginning to break. If the little lad were unharmed he would have answered! Then from afar six sharp blasts of a bugle spoke, sounded and rebounded, the hills taking up the message. At last the lost boy scout was found and alive! On that Instant the assemblage of scouts who were resting and waiting rose as one, and solemnly, with right hand to temples, saluted their little comrade. Yet Only Half True 1st and has ber own car.

Don't Indulge in that languishing movement." Now take your ruler nnd measure yourself oflf about six or seven Inches from your partner. Scale your bodies with your compass to see that they are exactly parallel from head to foot. Then, quoting the deans' rules again: "Leader places his right hand lightly between tho shoulders of his partner, keeping , the elbows at an angle of 90 degrees from his body, his left hand extended, palm up. and clasps his partner's right hand. "Partner's left hand rests lightly just back of the curve of the leader's shoulder, her elbow at an obtuse angle from her body and not resting upon that of the leader. A straight line from these bent elbows would bo parallel with both bodies. Maintaining these postures, the couple glides off Into the new geometrical dance. It's all parallel lines and angles.
