STUXXIXG FROCKS IX SEW MATERIAL AXU COLORS. By Maude Hall. New York. Oct. 10. It is a liberal education to be well-tnforfed upon thj question of new materials and colors this season. To the woman who can indulge in the luxury of a professional shopper's services. It makes no difference; but to the average woman who

must know prices, widths and qualities, S

in addition to the strong points of services these subjecs are all-important. For instance: crepe de chene is one, of the fost fashionable fabrics of the season, yet there are so many varieties of it that to walk into a smart shop

and make a defand for "something in j

crepe de chene." is only another way of announcing- your inexperience reprardinf? new fabrics. From the plain silk crepe do chene in single width which comes at 85 cents a yard to the Imported novelty crepes is a long range, and a beautiful one. Of course te imported novelties are high-prices, running to $5 and $8 a yard, but they are worth it. A moderate priced crepe de chene is called crepe chlnois and can be had for about $1.50 a yard. It is crinkled in most attractive fashion, and comes in about thirty different colors, and black. Brocaded crepon faconne is a higher priced crepe, brocaded on self tones in a wide variety of shadings and is used for afternoon and evening gowns. Taking a long jump downward, one finds tiamlsome crepe

chiffons about 36 inches wide for $1.25 a yard. These show all of the principal colors of the season and particularly emphasize the "sharp" shades. Crepe meteor, used extensively for seperate coats as well as frocks for all occasions is classed with moderately-priced materials, though it Is very rich looking and comes in in splendid assortment of the "wanted colors" as the advertisers put it. It has an unusually lustrous weave and an exquisite glove finish. One finds the same variety in velvets and plushes that there is in crepes, silks and satin. Double width velvets, in several instances, run as high as $S.50 a yard, but they are all silk and splendidly blended when It comes to the plaid and striped effects. For

whole costumes, combination gowns, trimmings, sashes and millinery purposes these plaid velvets are among the smartest novelties of the season. For coats and wraps of dressy design something new in tiger skin plush, at around $7.00 a yard. It is very wide and in most instances two yards will make a wrap. ' The material is tlger-strl ped in black and tan, - but the same idea is also parried out in purple and black. The former Is more fashionable at present, because all Paris is ragin over red furs, the uglier the more fashionable. Colofs are as full of pleasant surprises as a flower garden in springtime. One of the most delightful of the new shades is nectarine, a dark -...rich red, just a little bit bluer than any red that you have ever seen before, and yet just a little redder. Indeed it is most difficult to describe and when it is used in two different materials as in the case of an afternoon toilette in crepe de chine and

Charming frocks are seen in crepe

de chene. A particularly pretty model in mauve has the skirt trimmed with a tunic, draped at each side and finished in points ending with silk tassels. The sleeves are elbow length, but the shoulder is of the drooptng pattern. There is a vest of all-orer lace, over which a shield of the crepe fastens, and the shield ends into two little pointed tabs below the crushed girdle of dark blue Telvet. The more decided and starting the contrasts in the new color schemes the more fashionable are they this season. The new dresses for autumn and winter are full of distinctive features. Many of the odd effects are embodied In the trimmings.

HILLES PICKS DEC. 16 FOR PARTY MEETING

Republican National Committee to Discuss New Representation Plan.

Washington, Oct. 8. The Republican Rational Committee will meet in Washington on December 16 to consider plans to change the basis of representation in national conventions.

Charles D. Hilles and James B. Reynolds, chairman and secretary, repectively, of the national committee, decided

on the date in Xew York yesterday. Formal announcement was made by Secretary Reynolds last night. Officers of the committee resent reports that the proposed national convention to be held by proclamation of the national committee Is desired for the sole purpose of reducing Southern representation. Southern leaders have become aroused over such reports, and determined efforts may be made to prevent the special convention. Upon the present basis of representation. New York with nearly half a mil

lion Republican voters, is entitled to seat ninety delegates in national conventions and Louisiana, with 8,958 Republican voters, has twenty delegates. In the national committee, however. New York and Louisiana stand on an equality. Each has one vote. It was pointed out here tonight that the Southern States, the Territories and certain Western States which would lose numerical strength in Republican conventions by the adoption of any plan of representation based up-

on the actual vote cast, as is proposed.

have only to combine with a few

Northern States to prevent the assembling of a special convention such as is

contemplated.

There is a posibility that Southern

leaders combining with others may

prove strong enough to prevent a special convention, fearing that such a gathering would be certain to do something to curtail the influence of the South in the councils of the national organization. Three Plans Are SngRented. The Republican Congressional committee has taken a live interest in the

Question f Southern representation

and has devised three plants, all of

which are intended to minimize the in

fluence of the South in national convention. They may be briefly outlined

as follows:

Plan A Four delegates at large for each State and delegates for the sev

eral Congressional districts as follows

For each of such districts in which the

vote cast for the Republican candidate for Presidential electors in 1908 was

not more than 40 per cent, of the total

vote cast lor l residential electors in

such district in such election, one dele

gate; for each of such districts In which such Republican vote was 40

per cent, dui not more tnan 60 per

cent., two delegates; for each of such ditsricts in which the Republican vote

was more than 60 per cent., three dele gates. In any State where a reapportion

ment act has not been passed to pro

vide the full number of Congressional districts such State shall be entitled to delegates at large for each Representa

tive at large In Congress at the above ratio, comparing the full vote of the

tate witn ine total itepuoJican vote in

the State. In Arizona and New Mexico the apportionment shall be based on

the vote for Delegates In Congress

Plan U Four delegates at large for

each State, and in addition thereto one delegate for each 10,000 votes or major

fraction thereof cast for th Republi

can candidate for Presidential electors

in 1908. Total delegates 955.

Plan C Four delegates at large for each State and for each Congressional district one delegate for each 10,000

votes or major fraction thereof cast for

the Republican candidate for Presl

dential electors in 1908. Total dele

'gates, S6.

Plan C Four delegates at large fo

each State and for each Congressional district one delegate for each 10,000

votes or major fraction thereof cast fo

the Republican candidates for Prest dential electors in 1908. Provided tha

each Congressional district shall have at least one delegate and there shall

be two for each Congressman at large.

Total delegates, 1.106.

The present jlan of representation i based on population instead of on th Republican vote. It provides that th

convention shall consist of four dele

gates at large from each State and tw

delegates at large for each Repre

sentativo at large in the Congress and

wo delegates from each Congressional

district. Conventions at present are

made up of 1,062 delegates.

The plans thus outlined will be pre

en ted for the consideration of the Re

publican National Committee at the

meeting to be held on December 16.

Plan A, which is more generally

favored by off i. -era of the Republican

Congressional committee, will reduce the representation of eleven States, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,

Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South

Carolina. Tennessee, Texas and Vir

ginia. On the other hand the repre-.

sentation of such States as New York, Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania would be increased. New York's delegation

or example, would comprise 102 dele

gates instead of ninety, as at present.

Those who are responsible for the

movement to change the basis of representation in Republican national con-

entions are inspired by a desire to re

duce the influence of the South. This

s generally known. The movement

has the support of so-called regulars

as well as Progressives. Progressives

believe that the Introduction of such a reform would bring back to the fold many party men who are now herding with the Bull Moose.

Representative Frank Mondell of

Wyoming, a regular, who served on the credentials committee- that seated

Taft delegates to the exclusion ofj

Roosevelt delegates in the Republican convention at Chicago last year. Indorses rian A. In a statement Mr.

Mondell declared that there was justice

n the demand to reduce Southern rep

resentation.

CLASSES ARE

OVERCROWDED Elwood, Ind., Oct. 9. Because there

are thirteen classes at the high school building which are larger than permit

ted by law and which can not be re

duced in number because of the

cramped quarters in the building, it was announced today that the Klwood

schools were likely to lose their mem

bership in the Indiana Teachers' asso

ciation, and that there was also a likelihood of. the building being closed by

thi state authoirties. The school board has a suit pending to have land condtmned that a site for additional

buildings may be obtained and their intention is to build within the year.
