not seen fit to 'inflict prohibition in England. True, production is cur-

lied, thr5 are more drastic restrictions, and saloons are not open so many'

hours as they used to be; yet withal, the English government, mindiul that it was in its country that the birth of modern liberty occurred, has been scrupulous in observing thi? rights of the individual and of property. Contrast the proposal before the English government of extending the 'dry" area by purchasing saloons. With the unmoral features of (he code ot prohibition in Indiana and other states which confiscates business without compensation. Setting aside the feasibility or unfeaeibility of prohibition, the argument must be considered that when a state legalizes and draws sustenance from an industry that it departs from the line of cleavage-between right and wrong when it seizes without compensation such a business. In considering the question of buying the Irish saloons, it may be re: cahed that in 1S33, when England decided to suppress the slave trade in her

colonies, she paid the owners $100,000,000 compensation. Slaves were nem

a" property; the English were honest enough not to confiscate property without payment being made. vrvere an industry has been legalized its suppression should not be accomplished without making recompense, for prohibition as it is in America constitutes public theft by the consent of a portion of the people. However, we are a new and energetic people and some of us have been led into wrong lines of reasons by leaders whose conceptions of public honesty are riot wholly bread. Terhaps when we are an older people with more time for sober reflection, perhaps when we have persisted in the fight for liberty half at. long as the English have in creating a sacred respect for property and individual rights, an inhere.nt moral virtue they have received from the men who arrayed themselves against King John and wrought the Magna Charta for themselves and for us, perhaps by that time most of the American people will recognize that the state can publicly be unscrupulous Just as some individuals are. The invasion of Belgium is an example ot conscienceless acts on the part of the state- But this is no time for pessimism, and there is every reason to believe that we live in a period of an awakening public conscience, and that what the state has had no scruples about doing in the past it will hardly repeat in the future.

KHAKI IS POPULAR FOR OUTDOOR WEAR

In satin she's lovely. She's dainty in lace. She's stately in velvet. And wears it with gra.ee. In serge she is swagger. In linen she's smart. In frilly white muslin She's queen of my heart.

INTERPRETING TIIE TIMES. Events in all parts of this throbbing world of ours are so prolific and so Important that disassociating any one from the rest it stands out as a portentous, significant milestone of history. It is in the greatest of times that we liveThe column in the newspaper day gives space, and with no special stress, to an cccurrance that would have run through several pages for several days if this time were the period before 1914. And hardly any column given over to world news is lacking in it3 potentialities. Aside from the great war there are such significant movements as the democratization of China, the overthrow of the Czar, the greatest of mundane rulers; the natural but swift growth toward a form of state socialism in Germany; the leveling of nobility, aristocracy and the middle class in England to one plane, with the latter dominating it. All these things mean much to us. They will have an effect in recasting our own social system and national life. From out of the din of strife and partial chaos there comes the realization that kings are not so popular any more- The Old World has lost its sacred regard- for the "annotated-" Whether It is the Chinese emperor or the Slav czar, it matters not. The more autocratic the sooner they fall, and the German czar is near that point. Even democratic England, which has always restricted but which nevertheless uphold kingly theories, is not so sure about them any more. Commoners, not the king, run the war; and last month from no other source than the venerable London Times came a demand that British royalty have removed that restriction barring them from mating with commoners. Englishmen are beginning to regard themselves as good as kingsMore and more this feeling of democracy is being spread. To be sure, we have no kings in this country, but here the evolution will manifest itself In other forms- Probably no human mind can tell when, where and how this war will end; and the best of intellects can only dimly forecast what may come. We do not know, any more than we did in August, 1914. As for America, the trend of events and the flow of thought go with the world move to do for the common goodPerhans amone the first manifestations of the evolution in America

will be a democracy more democratic, the subjugation of extortionate monopolies, bettered conditions for workmen rather to hours, and a wider interest in the government. Some of these things may sound like Socialism, but we w-ill attain them to avoid Socialism, which is impracticable and treacherous despite all the idealism it paints. The war we enter only hurries that which is destined in these timesIndeed, the school boy of today when he becomes a man will live in an altogether recasted world that will be wholly unlike the one that we knew five years agoCONFISCATION AND COMPENSATION. The British government is considering a proposal to buy the licenses of half the saloons in Ireland for $10,000,000, which would mean the closing of some 8,000 public houses. The proposal has broader limits for it also embraces the proposition of buying all the saloons of the Emerald isle. State purchase of all or part of the Irish saloons will be rather unusual. Yet "it is along the lines of the British policy not to enforce prohibition, at least bv confiscation- Although at war nearly three years, the government

In Georgette crepe or organdie in lace frock a la lingerie the summer girl's a sight to see and just as sweet as she can be. In voile, batiste or muslin pink she makes all admire and blink, and when she dons a glnjrhftm gown she's quite the smartest thing in town. For gingham plaid ;n divers hue is quite the newest of the new for frocks that stand "Aye there's tho rub" in any "washer lady's" tub. A stunning one of yellow plaid chic suspenders just like Dad with blouse of organdie to show beneath the galluses you know. Another plaid of white and green displays a most seductive mein with loose coat blouse and white array of cuffs and collar of

pique. A patent leather belt of black it has and buttons down the back. A dashing gingham, mauve and white, has deep hip pockets, left and right, ar.d joins a blouse of organdie with buttoned belt quite childishly. The bell sleeves of the blouse are bound with plaid bands of gingham round, while just to balance things ft bit each dashing pocket's flaring slit that makes the skirt so smart you see is lined well with the organdie. Just think what conaumate art now maids an air naive impart to these new frocks whoso fabrics show the fancies of the long ago when maidens sighed and slung and waited and only lived that they be mated. Book muslin, yes. and dimity it sure takes art you will agree for females erudite to wear these frocks and get away with it sufficiently to look like cuts frorfi "Godey's Ladies' Book." That fashion book of long ago the great grandma of "Vogue," you know. A dirling dimity in blue would look

just awfully sweet on you with all Its

tiny tucks and frills and disecting it in little rills. Its sleeves are short

to the elbow and pockets frilled on

each hip show. They are the only modern touch. The low neck's rounl

in' manner Dutch. The linen sheer that people use for handkerchiefs now all do choose for summer frocks of dainty hue pink, maize, rose, lavender and blue. This fabric rare makes lovely clothes where once 'twas subject but to blows. X summer fabric always right is Crepe Georgette, so sheer and light. For every type and every age in anycolor it's the rage. A gown of it in snowy, white embroidered is in worsteds bright. It has a loose coat blouse of course, so it Is girdled round tho torso in plaited strand.3 of worsted gay with tasseled ends that gently sway. And then there's voile, a perfect foil for summer beauty naught can spoil. An ail white voile is very sweet Us skirt with clustered tucks replete. A frill edged surplice trims the waist, the sleeves with soft wrist frill3 are graced. F.u quite the favorite of the day Is organdie in every way. Its old-time charm rejuvenated, it's far from being antiquated. So crisp and cool and thin and quaint alike to sinner and saint it lends such misty charm or other you cannot tell the one from 'tr.thcr. Adventuresses naturally are all quite strong for organdie since thus attired they hope trt win old men retired with lots of tin who think all girls in organdie sweet, innocent young things must he.

trimmed in bands of lace, deep cream. Tho organdie itself is white, the skirt is full and short, oh quite! Two wide bands of the lace bisect it. Its flowingsleeves, you may suspect it, are also edged with bands of laced fold of organdio with grace outlines the . V.haped decollette and at the belt there is a spray of golden centered marguerites. For daintiness this frock quite beats most of the others now on view. I'd- like o bvy it, wouldn't you? But then I really feel that way about them all now on display. Voil, muslin, crash or dimity, thin linen. Georgette, organdie or gingham and is plaidity. But quite the best that I can do is just to write myself a few.
