Congress Would Settle Racial Question
WASHINGTON. Senator Spencer of if Missouri made an address the other day In support of Ids bill (S. 4207) for the creation of a racial commission to promote harmony between whites and blacks. He read Into It the text of the bill, of which the more Important sections are these: "f'e It enacted, etc., That a commission of nine persons, citizens of the United States be, and Is hereby created to be known and designated as the commission on the Racial question In the United States of America. The
Historical Significance of the Year 1920
INTERNATIONAL celebration of the tercentenary of the Pilgrims, owing to delays caused by the great war, will be largely celebrated In 1021 instead of 10120. There are, however, many local celebrations scheduled for thQ year. In this connection, an address to the American people of the Sulgrave Institution, in association with c long list of American organizations find individuals ot prominence, was read Into the Congressional Record by Fess of Ohio. This address says, among other things: It so happens that the year 1020 Is doubly significant historically, In that f00 year', ago beginning on the 30th of July there was being held In Jamestown, Virginia colony, the first American legislative assembly, called lv f n inpti tt lfiwfiil nr jitnl rf full understanding.

Deadlock of Congress WE 6EED5 IN THE deadlock between senate and hiuic oer the agricultural appropriations bill one of the Items if not the chief item was that for $230,410 for "congressional seed distribution." (Icnerallv speaking, the senate was determined to abolish this "old-tinte appropriation and the house was determined to retain it. Yet there were many senators for the "seeds" and many representatives against them. Inys and days were spent In debate on the subject. Of course, many curiousthings were said. Here an? a few picked at random from the interminable debate: Senator ;rnna. North Dakota I ntn quite un that no senator will contend that a package of sved can be sent through the.mails for less than Like Roll of Drums SINCi: Or. Klint of Harvard made his criticism of West Point as an educational fhtlttition mahy defenders of the famous United States Military academy have come t the front, including Secretary of War .taker, who has sent an olhYiat communication to congress. In the great stained glass window :dove the nltar which the cadets face when they marth to pjnyer at West Toint shln three words: "Duty: Honor: Country." In that place words are not the mere emblems of an exalted sentiment They are the basis of the code by which lives of these men nre shaped. In short, the best part of the instruction at West Point is not taught from books. It Is character building, democracy, duty, honor, self-reliance. It Is training n man to stand on his feet. "In thse things," says ti e West Pointer, "we may have a peer, but we have not it Hipcrior on earth. "It Is worth while to know what West Point doe- not lack. We teach no Ism'; no socialism, no sovlethm. Anybody looking to this inMitutien to be the leader In new types of government will look In vnln. When we teach the !uus of prept rty, ve teach then: as

That said commission shall be appointed by the president of the United States, by and witlr the advice and consent of the senate, and shall be divided Into three groups of three men In each group, two white and one colored; that the term of the first group shall be for one year, the second for two years, and the third group for three years. Sec. 3. That the commission shall have authority to Inquire into and thoroughly Investigate the conditions surrounding the colored people In the United States, ascertain, if possible, the causae of the unrest among them, and, if there be racial friction, the cause of the same, and to suggest such remedies as they may deem best calculated to relieve the situation and to bring about harmonious relations between white and colored Americans."

for July 30 joins Cavalier and Pilgrim together ns twin sources of that high Inspiration which met In the convention of the great Constitution, and November 11 Is not only the anniversary day of the Mayflower compact, the second assumption by English colonists in America of an inalienable 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 1920 being a historic anniversary year as well as the fifth year of overmuch dangerous propaganda, false counsel, and loose statement by 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 Langley, Kentucky My observation has been that the men f who talk the loudest and protest the most against the distribution of garden seeds are the stingiest men in this house. Senator King, Utah I think It Is n 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, Colorado Just 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 be sanctified by time, be continued upon this bill. Senator Kenyon, Iowa I do not. believe there is anything that has held up the American congress to so much ridicule and contempt ns this free-seed item. Senator Smith, Georgia I think It Is all right. For eight years we have gone through the farce of striking out the seed appropriation In the senate and then yielding to the house. and Blare of Bugles DUTY HONOR COUNTRY written in the laws of the land tody.

CUT iliVV
In Fainicy Jewels
Large and Long Earrings Is Fashion Followed in Paris. Finest Diamonds and Emeralds Are Set in Jade, Ebony or Filigree Silver. At the opera, and at specially smart private entertainments, very beautiful "fancy jewelry' is now worn, notes a Paris fashion. writer. "Faucy" jewels are a 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 and to earrings. The finest diamonds and emeralds are set In 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 ut that it is not in the best taste, still It is much in evidence. Jt is not often that one now sees really dignified ornaments worn unless for a gala performance or for a ceremonious dinner. The taste of the day is for "fancy ornaments," but the Parisiennes insist that these shall be expensive and original in design. Tor example, a pair of earrings recently worn at the opera by a wellknown Parisan beauty. They were large rings of cut jet in the center of which swung tiny owls made of diamonds and 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 diamonds swinging from crystal rings. Earrings are distinctly fashionable and some of the Parisiennes wear them large and long. Cut jet earings, circular in form and sparkling with loose diamonds, are worn at dance teas, and very often one sees large hat pins which match the ear ornaments. And apropos hat pins they become more and more elaborate and expensive. Now-a-days I: Is the fashion to have the hat itself very simple and the pins which keep it In place as expensive as possible and ns ornate.

Tea Gown Is Back to Its Own
Garments Modeled cn Chinese Patterns and Are Worn Close About Throat. The English woman never really liked the tea gown until the war came. Even the Japanese kimono, observes a writer in -the Manchester Guardian, could not rid her of the idea that the tea gown savored of the dressing gown and was In contllct with a strictly tailor-made Ideal. With the war the tea gown entered another phase. It made peace. The English woman found in it an 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 British dress Ideal, and it appealed with unusually pleasing results. The tea gown Is now becoming part of - every woman's wardrobe. Tea gowns just now are very pretty. Many of them are modeled on Chlneso patterns and go so far even as to be worn closed about the throat, there Is something very distinctive about the Chinese coat fastening close round the neck. The long Chinese coat Is also belns worn as a tea gown, and this Incldcntally Is a far better use for It than that of evening coat, when Its colors rarely harmonize with outside western dinghies. Enterprising people also iidopt the Chinese trousers, which usually are not more than leggings shaped nitler like waders. With white silk stockings and btaek shoes the effect Is distinctive.

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. Basque blouses nre usually of navy blue or black, but have bright-colored embroideries, such as orange, green or red. Straw is sometimes used ns an ornamentation. It is applied by an over-and-over stitch of silk threads. Another means of Introducing color Into blouses is through trimmings of bright leather. The leather is appllqued to the cloth In Interesting designs and also used for belts. Blouses are made entirely of leather. In these, however, bright colors are not often used, the preference being for browns. Suits for the Summer. Regardless of the approach of 'warm weather suits of wool fabric, In navy particularly, continue to be In great demand, and throughout the summer there will always be weather when the wool fabric suit will be fount extremely comfortable. A wool fabric suit is a better selection for cool summer days than a dress of woolen tentorial, 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. Black and white Is regarded ns 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 fine 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 tine mesh with a wide border of georgette in rose or peach color. When this veil is worn, only the eyes are seen through the mesh, while the chiffon frame enhances the color of the cheeks. gether and retaining only the coat. For these straight or academic tea gowns, stuffs cannot be too gorgeous. It is one advantage of the tea gown, and no slight one, that It admits of every gorgeous color and color combination. Vivid Colors for Fall. Very bright colorings In the embroideries used to trim fall frocks arc heralded in advance models and In fashion bulletins sent over from Paris as guides to American apparel producers. Pipings and braid strappings In vividly contrasting colors are also reported as being favored by French designers. So far nothing that li 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 figure, coloring and general type, so that she may choose clothes that will be becoming to her. The second Is to wear the right clothes at the right time. Lace on Lingerie. A considerable amount of.

JUST ACTING LIKE A MAN Simple Explanation of Wife's Action When She Suspected Burglar Was Downstairs. After starting for his work the other morning Taylor happened to think of something he had forgotten and returned to the house to get It. While walking about the kitchen he heard a great racket upstairs. Considerably alarmed ho called: "What in the world Is the matter, Mary? Has anything happened?" There was a moment's silence, then his wife replied : "Oh, is that you?" "Yes, who did you think it was?" 4,I heard some one walking Lbout down there and I thought it was a burglar."

Then he shrank back as a stern-looking woman faced him coldly. "And only this morning,' she said loudly, "that man called me a meddlesome old cat!" She was his mother-in-law. Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

Experiments have proved It entirely practicable to deliver belated transatlantic mail steamers at sea by airplanes. vThe ship may have taken Its departure several hours previously, yet the fiying machine, with a speed of 100 miles or more an hour, can easily catch up with it and put the mall aboard. A plane of the "fiying boat" type h used for this purpose, and the waterproof mall bag is held In a chute on the side of the hull. The aviator files over the ship and the rigging entangles a long line dropped from the plane that has grapple tails on Its end. This line Is attached to the mall bag, which, when the grapple tails catch. Is jerked out of Its chute, falling into the sea. It is then an easy matter to haul the mail 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.
