This season, howerar, marks a sensational entry of the cloth coat of regal splendor Into the ranks of winter wrap aristocracy. There Is considerable Interest manifested In coat fabrics which simulate caracul fur or black broadtail and there are boncle woolens which can scarcely be distinguished from astrakhan. The latter is quite the rage for short Jacquottes and Is rariously trimmed In taupe fox fur or gray moufflon, matched to the body color of the garment. The elegance of a coat of beige caracul fur-cloth Is apparent in the handsome wrap shown on the figure to the left in the accompanying Illustration. The handsome appearance of this coat Is largely accomplished through Its unique and generous ad-

justable collar, and the fanciful towing Sleeves, so elegantly tasseled la perfect match to the tie girdle ef henry silk cord.

First Engine Used In 1829. The first attempt made In the United States to use locomotive engines, othi erwlse than for mere experiment, was [made on the railway from Carbondale [to Honesdale, Pa., 10 miles, built by I the Delaware and Hudson Canal company. The Stourbridge Lion, a locomotive built In England, was placed upon the road In August, 1820. In 1880, construction was begun on the South CarI olina railroad, and the road was designed and built to be operated by [ steam locomotives. This was the first ! railway built with the purpose from the beginning of using steam locomotives.

Great Ideas Last Long. Why Is it that there are some great men whose memory the world “will not willingly let die’’? Moot of us perish with our generathm. A few personalities linger on for one or more generations. But thefe are some sons of men whose refolleotlon does not seem to fade, Jesus of Nazareth Is still a lively Influence in millions of lives. Socrates, Blato, Buddha, Dunto and Shakespeare are still Vital. Men are like bells. They ars struck with a "big Idea.” As the reverberation goes on long after the stroke has been made, according to the quality and Size of the bell, so the great man Is made of such metal that the reverberations of his Initial Impulse are not deadened by the passing of years. What a chime is that composed of all the echoes of the world's groat souls 1—New York American.

Lights to Kill Inaoots. One Texas farmer has doubled his yield of cotton by placing lights at Intervals in his field and under tit# lights putting basins of water to catch the unwary Insects. The scheme sounds reasonable. The same thing gets the buimm being. The bright Lights at the Mg city, attract the attention of the unwary boy and girl from the happy country home and has been the means of doubling the yield of broken hearts, blasted Ives and degeneration along the brightly colored broadways of the country as well as providing a testing place for those with characters of true bhu*. The scheme works so well on people It would be a wonder If the bugs could not be caught by the same bait that Is so alluring to mifta. Nothing Now.

un.-l NOT BOUND BY RULES HAVE UEEN ADMITTED TO WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCES. THEiR EXCLUSION IS ASKED

By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—Possibly the public knows, and possibly the public does not know, of the restrictions which are placed upon the activities of ’.Yt.slii: -ton newspaper correspondents who are members of the press gallery, or men. ers of wliut is known ns the White House correspondents’ association. ' President Coolidge meets the correspondents twice a week for the .purpose of answering questions if he sees fit, and for the purpose tit times of saying something on his own initiative to which no question has given suggestion. It has been from the first the intention, and in fact the order that no correspondent should be admitted to these conferenees who is not under the control of the rules giving admission to the press galleries, or under the control of the rules fixing membership in the little association of men who daily cover thq White House news for their papefs. Correspondents have known from time to time that others, not the regularly accredited and rule-bound writers, have obtained admission to the White House conferences. Now Just what does this mean? U means that n man, If ho so chooses, one who is not bound by rules, can violate the confidence of the President, or even without connecting the President’s nmus with it can use material which the good s©nse of other correspondents bus told thorn they must not use. Unfair to the Corrospendenta. The corraspondom who lives up to tils rtiUs agreement, and he must live up tw la U Its wishes M continue ya career M a nswapapOT aaao In ttiia town. Boil!etLine* (into that material which he ltad but which ha could not use 1* appearing In the public print uusuthorlash. and sometimes It la of a nature to euibarreeu the men whe furnished the material, hut furnishe# it to be used only as guiding matter and not for comment nor actual publicity. Thoro Lava boon correapondenu in this town who have been asked by their home offices why they did not have so-and-so, the so-and-so having appeared “without any right of appearance.” The answer of the correspond ent to Uiis hotue office always must be, “I had it, but I couldn’t use It.'' Today an attempt is being made by the correspondents in a body, led by the small orgunlzntiou of those who cover the White House dally, to prevent the entrance Into the conference chamber of persons who are not bound by a rule, and thereby bound by honor, not to quote the President of the United States nor to use those things which are learned which It is obviously Improper should be used. For some time this plan for the exclusion of the unauthorized has been under discussion. There have been difficulties In the way. Of course the correspondents themselves cannot say to the White House authorities, the President's secretary, for Instance, that no ono Is to bo admitted except on the say so of the correspondent body. The White House authorities have the right to admit anybody they choose, and It is known that at times rather than to give offense persons wholly unauthorized have been admitted Into the conference room, much to tho discomfort of the regular correspondents whose desire it Is that news and Information shall go out In a way to safeguard every requirement that is Imposed ui«m them. Press Agents and Propagandists. How many times information has gone out that should not have gone out It 1b impossible to say, but mote than occasionally there have been seen at the White House conferences men who are known to be press agents for this or that, or propagandists in behalf Of this, that and the other thing. Within a few days the body of correspondents accredited solely to White House work has been compelled to protest against the admission of men who are interested specifically In certain matters which have been and will continue to be subjects of legislation. However, two such men were admitted and this brought Instant protest from the specific organization of correspondents which has the whole matter In Its charge. The result of this protest against the action of the White House authorities In admitting the two men has been a withdrawal of the permission and the chief of the two has not been allowed to enter Into the conference room. It is understood that on the first day he was refused admission his colleague did not present himself for entrance. There are some persons who think apparently that Washington newspaper correspondents are In a position, simply because they are newspaper men, to bring personal pressure to bear upon members of congress and others In behalf of legislation, or in behalf of men seeking office. The exact fact Is that before a man can be admitted to the press galleries, or to the association of White House correspondents, he must make application for such admission, or such membership, and must declare that he Is not Interested In pending claims or legislation.

((£) by McClure Newepupe# Syndicate.) TUTUS. JUDSON'S once dark hair was liberally sprinkled with gray. The roses that once bloomed in her cheeks were no longer there. In the old, dull, uncomplimentary bureau-mirror she thus saw herself. She had often told her husband that a new mitfjr was needed for the bureau. “Walt till I get to work,” was the answer most often given; and meekly and silently received. Sam Judson was downright lazy. He was a millwright. Now and then, as the spirit moved him, he worked at his trade for a cotton mill, a mile from his house. No man—much less a too-eonsider-ate wife—could get Sam Judson to work steadily, day in and day out, for any' length of time. He read a lot and smoked a lot and jawed a lot; all at his own sweet pleasure; and thus Idled away Ids time—and kept his meek, thrifty little wife worrying about what was to become of them. One day Mrs. Judson received a letter from her married daughter, Katie, who lived In a distant city. She read this letter to her husband, and he wasn’t at all pleased at Katie’s suggestion that Ma Judson spend the next six months with her. This letter of Katie's now gave the mother an inspiration. She had been sweeping the upstairs room, In which the bureau with the hazy mirror stood. Putting aside the broom, Mrs, "Judson opened a clothescloset door. From a hook she took a black cloak with shiny Jet beadwork of a pretty and quaint design. She put the cloak on, and tied the wide strings beneath a purposeful chin. Next her hand went aloft to the closet shelf, and came down with an article wrapped In paper. Removing a number of pins from the wrapper, she brought to light, and held out at arm’s length before her, a dark blue velvet hat with diminutive forget-me-nots tracing a light blue circle above the brim. It was the hat that she loved—the most becoming and genteel hat she ever hud since her marriage day. And Sam always liked her In that hat, too, she reflected, a* sho adjusted it, before the mirror, to her shapely head “You look like you was a millionaire's wife—yes, you do, honey 1” the pleased little lady whispered In confidence to her reflection. The very Idea of likening herself to a wealthy man’s wife caused her to laugh as at a huge Joke, for upon peering Into her poeketbook, she saw there one fiO-cent piece. It was about time, she thought, to start something—or starve. With the unconquerable courage of one going forth to fight for a Just cause against a strongly-entrenched adversary, she marched down the stairs to where the indolent man of the house could usually be located. “Samuel!” There was something startling In that sharply-spoken name to the collarless, slippered individual seated in a wide-armed rocker by the kitchen stove. No one had ever before called him Samuel, that he knew of. Twas always Sam. Mumbling to himself at being thus rudely disturbed In his cogitations, Sam slowly arose, and, straightening up with an effort, saw a determinedlooking little lady gazing scornfully upon him. Then he let out a roar. "Blow me, if 't ain’t my own little Janey! Ma, you near scared me t’ death I’’ "“Might as well be scared t’ death as starved t’ death,” proclaimed the metamorphosed Mrs. Judson. “Samuel Judson, you’ve not earned a red cent for a month, and there’s just fifty cents between us and th’ poorhouse! Will you—or will you not—go right down to th’ mill, ind git to work?” It was a vulnerable attack, this onslaught by ma on his lifelong, personal prerogative. It actually made him feel sick and weak. “I’ll go—now—right off,” said Sam, meek as a lamb. ’T’iu tired of loafing round here, anyway." Then a look of fright stote over his face, for he became possessed of an Idea that ma would never have shown such an Independent spirit If somebody wasn't backing her up. Katle'9 Invitation to ma I Ah, there he had the solution. The troubled man took his wife’s two hands In his, and tremblingly held them, while hla eyes, near to tears, looked pleadingly, lovingly, Into those of his wife. “You were goln'—goln’ to Katie’s?" she heard him say. “Some other time,” was her gentlt answer; and, ns an after-thought: “It all depends on you, Sam, from now

on.”

“I’ll do right by you, for the future ma.’’ promised Sam Judson, clumsily endeavoring to tuck under her hat n wisp of grayish hair that had strayed down onto mother’s cheek. A short while thereafter, he was walking briskly down the road that led to the cotton mill. Mrs. Judson watched him until ht was out of sight. Never did she love him more than she did at this very moment. "Perhaps I was a little hard on the poor man,” she commiserated, deep down In her heart. "Still—I kind of feel that there are times when you've got P nse a little strategy t’ set things (’ right."

MANUSCRIPTS DEALING WITH IT NOT BEING CONSIDERED BY AMERICAN PUBLISHERS.

MEANS BIG LOSS TO HISTORY Washington.—It is said In Wasv. tngton that men who held high military or civil place during the great war have been told by book ami magazine publishers that the people are tired of reading about the conflict and that therefore they feel they must decline to give serious consideration to manuscripts which treat of the subject in any of Its phases. There are men here engaged in historical research who believe that the disinclination of the Atnedcan people to read anything today about the World war will mean the loss to future generations of an Immense amount of historical material, of personal reminiscences and of other matter Invaluable to the readers of the days that are to come. In brief, it Is held that American history is to suffer from the present-day reluctance of people to read anything which concerns itself with the great conflict, | This prospective loss of valuable historical material to posterity is intimately connected with what might be called financial considerations. There are me’.i today who could add many chapters of new material to the filstory of the war whp cannot afford to write of their experiences unless there Is some prospect that there will be return in money for the time and labor spent. Of course publishers will not Issue books If they believe they will lese money by the publication, and of course no writer can expect to get royalties on books which

do not sell.

Way

Pershing’s Book May Not Appear. Washington believes apparently that It Is true that the people are tired of | writing and hearing about the World 1 war, but It Is held here It Is a pity | that the reluctance of Americans to read books and articles dealing with ; It should act to prevent men who had a great part in the conflict from writing down for the benefit of men yet to | come their experiences and their en-

deavors.

It Is said that General Pershing had , Intended quickly to write a history of ' the war ns he as commander of the 1 expeditionary forces hud a part In It. This book never has appeared, hut It is understood It Is In course of slow ; preparation. It is within the range of ; possibilities that this book never may I appear. The hint Is that even a hook written by the general commanding | would not be given proper support and this solely because people want to put ' the war in the past. There are at least a dozen officers of the United States army on the active or retired lists who bore chief parts In the campaigns In France. It Is pretty well known that some of these officers have desired to write of the work of the American divisions, corps and armies, hut have not donq so because the field for publication virtually Is closed. These men are getting old. Historians Will Lack Material. Several of the general officers have written short articles, but most of them have writen nothing except cold official reports of war-time date. Eventually, probably, there will be a revival of Interest in the war and especially in the deeds of the American armies In the field. The historians of the future will need much material, but they will not be able to get It. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and soma others wrote of the war between the states and of their personal experl1 cnees therein. The day will como probably when the American people will be sorry that the lack of market for their wares should have prevented Liggett, Bullard and Dickman, who successively commanded divisions, corps and armies, from writing firsthand accounts of things as they happened. The country was allowed to know little concerning the Individual deeds of men while the war was In progress. Today tilings can be told that could not be told In another day. Unquestionably some books which might be written about the war would arouse controversy. Controversy, however, It Is held here by some military men, might lead to the clearing up of war-time Situations which today are nebulous. There were many heart burnings during the conflict. Many general officers were relieved from duty In France to be sent hack to the United States whose friends claim that they were arbitrarily treated. There are some mysteries connected with the conducting of the great war and everybody likes to read mystery stories provided at the end all is made clear.
