‘Directed Especially at Jane Addams”

WASHINGTON. — A bill announced us “directed especially against Jane Addatus.” the Women's International League for Peace, and slacker oath pacifist organizations was introduced the other day in the house by Representative Clarence McLeod of Michigan. McLeod announced that he had drafted It after conference with the attorney general, who, he said, admitted there were no laws today under which pacifist organizations actually boosting bolshevik plans could be curbed/ The bill Is intended to prevent the mailing, displaying or distributing in any way of propaganda advocating the overthrow of the government by violence or opposition by violence to any law of the United States, It Is contended that under these provisions advocating the forcible resistance to a war of defense would become a crime. A statement from McLeod said: “The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and similar Organizations have made such marked headway in advocating the principles of Trotzky and other officials of the soviet government that immediate steps to put an end to their activities in the United States becomes necessary.

Aviation; Central America; Panama Canal

THIS country is likely to wake up some morning soon and find that what might become its greatest assurance of peace and insurance against war has been snatched away during a night of pacifist and no defense chatter. Industries of four nations —Japan. France, Italy and Germany—now are seeking aviation concessions in Central America, which, army and navy chiefs declare, would leave the Panama canal defenseless in time of war against the nation controlling the air to the south of IL Without the canal the problems of west coast defense would be almost unsolvable. Thus, though It sounds grotesque at first to say our national safety hinges in part on development of Central America’s aviation, that Is what military men who have studied the question maintain. They are convinced that if this country will extend its air mail to Central America and heip the nations there develop air possibilities these three birds would be killed with one stone:

Hanihara Is Well Liked at the Capital

MA SAN AO HANIHARA, the Japanese ambassador, whose note on Japanese immigration stirred up trouble, has always been personally popular in Washington. Hanihara, short of stature, round-faced and rosy-cheeked, went to Washington first in 1901, when he was twenty-five years old. ns one of secretaries of the Japanese embassy and almost Immediately became probably the best liked oriental who ever lived in the city. He speaks flawless English and also has a thorough understanding of American idioms and slang, using both with telling effect when the occasion seems to warrant it. He is highly educated, a voracious reader and has a marvelous memory" for facts and faces. In addition he is one of the most suavely polite men In the capital, has a captivating smile, is quick at repartee, plays, a good game of poker and is at home and

Norfleet, “Boomerang Sucker” From Texas

FRANK NORFLEET of Hale county,, Texas, famous as the I « nemesis of confidence men, will 9 receive >17,000 by congressional appropriation if a bill introduced by Representative Manin Jones of Texas and backed by Representative William M. Valle of Colorado passes. Norfleet is known In Denver as the boomerang sucker, who aided Philip S, Van Cise, district attorney, in rounding up and sending to prison members of the $1,000,000 Denver bunko ring. The’jones bill requests congress tn reimburse Norfleet to the extent of $17,000 for expenses incurred in a roundup of 34' confidence men who fleeced him out of $45,000 four years ago. At tin? risk of his life and at very heavy expense he trailed Joe Furey and Furey’s gang throughout the entire country, and a few weeks ago put the last of the Furey ring behind the bars, congress was told. His aid to the Denver district attorney and authorities elsewhere has been instrumental in the conviction of

President’s Wife and the British Queen

DO THE First Lady of the Land and the British queen occupy analogous positions In the social and political structure? Washington is discussing this question. brought up In this way: A letter by Representative Roy D. Fitzgerald (Rep.. Ohio) to Mrs. Coolidge asking her to Investigate the case of a woman convicted for alleged violation of rhe dry law. has brought a sharp rebuke from E. T. Clark, personal secretary to President Coolidge. Fitzgerald wrote Mrs. Coolidge a letter Inclosing a petition of veterans at the Soldiers’ home at Dayton, Ohio, asking for an investigation of the case of Miss Edna Bond, oonvicted last fall along with her brother and a man named Frank Trimble for violating the dry law. Mrs. Coolidge referred the letter to Clark, who wrote Representative Fitzgerald a letter, saying: “An inquiry at the department of justice discloses the fact that ynu have not taken np the case personally, when naturally this course was open

“It appears that legislation of a drastic nature Is absolutely necessary «t the present time, and the sooner this country can avail itself of a proper law to prohibit and punish persons guilty of unwarranted and seditious acts against the government of the United States, the quicker we will be In a better position to deal with this poisonous and damnable propaganda, which does nothing more than breed discontent and undermine our institutions." At about the same time the press reported the opening tn Chicago of a peace school in connection with the league. Noted women present included Jane Addams; Dr. Aletta Jacobs, originator of the birth control movement; Dr. Anita Augspurg. first woman lawyer In Germany; Mlle. Lucie Dejardln, labor inspector and chevalier of the Order of Leopold II of Belgium ; Mme. Epiash Youssoff, first woman journalist in Turkey; Rosika Schwimmer, Hungarian ambassador to Switzerland; Dv, Gertrude Woker, noted professor oPchemlstry at Berne, Switzerland; politicians, social workers, doctors, philanthropists, teachers, and writers. Young—slim Dorothy Wong of China, still in college; old —Dr. Jacobs, past seventy, many with white hair —five with It bobbed.

It would be impossible for any nation successfully to attack the canal from the air because our peace time aviation development would give us air bases and an air industry quickly convertible to war needs. It might even prevent war with any Asiatic nation, for our air position would make attack futile. It would create great peace time advantages for Central, South, and North America, linking the three by air, creating closer business friendship and stimulating trade. The United States, it Is believed, could have die chance to develop Central American aviation for the asking. Guatemala already has asked us to step in. Nicaragua has indicated unofficially a similar desire. Other nations are reported officially to be holding off from offers of foreign concerns in the hope that America will act —bijt they cannot hold off forever. A bill, already passed by the senate and now pigeon holed, it seems, in the house, would give navy and marine officers permission to go to Central America to train its flyers.

welcome in any social gathering. In 1901 he was assigned as one of the secretaries at Washington and was one of the staff of the embassy at the Portsmouth peace conference following the Russo-Japanese war. He was recalled to Japan in 1910. When the agitation against Japanese immigration began to stir things on the Pacific coast back in 1916, he was named consul-general at San Francisco. His tact and discretion contributed much to the settlement of the question at the time. When Viscount Ishii came to this country In 1917, touring the United States with a large suite, Hanihara was his chief of staff. His next appearance in America was at the anus conference called by the late President Harding, coming as the secretarygeneral of the Japanese delegation. Later he succeeded Ambassador Sidehara, who was Id poor health.

more than thirty other bunko artists around the country. In Denver, during the time that the district attorney was on the trait of the local bunko ring, time after time attempts to have suckers picked up by the gang met with failure. To obtain definite evidence against the ring District Attorney Van Cise needed a witness who would work with him, get the goods on the gang, tip the district attorney and permit the confidence operators to be caught redhanded. Out of a clear sky came Norfleet. Id Denver on the trail of members of the Furey gang still at large, Norfleet was picket! up by a steerer for the Blonger-Duff gang of Denver. Norfleet notified the district attorney and agreed to go through as a state witness. The result is that aged Lou Blonger (now dead). A. W. Duff, Dapper Jackie French. Artful Artie Cooper. Louis Mushnick and the lesser lights in the Denver bunko constellation were sent to Canon City.

I to you as a member of congress. It was a source of some surprise, therefore, that you should demand that Mrs. Coolidge see that this case gets the review that it should. The wife of the President has not and should not have any part in these matters, and the Inciosures have therefore been • brought to the attention of the attorney general, where they properly : belong.” Representative Fitzgerald apolo- . gtzed. saying the English queen re- , ceives such requests and refers them i to the proper officials. “I had no knowledge of the cgse of > Edna Bond and was asked to do nothI ing but bring it in the form presented i to the attention of Mrs. Coolidge, just > as similar matters are presented to the English queen, who graciously re • reives and refers them to the home ■ office, be wrote. “May I apologize both for myself ’ and these simple soldiers for our pre > sumption in thinking that the wife of the President would be willing to no i tice this _

Pretty Materials for Girls’ Dresses

The novel Ideas kn styles for little people this year are such as to fill their childish hearts with joy, writes a fashion correspondent in the New York Times. For two or three seasons children’s dress has been of the same general type as that worn by their elders—exotic, extreme. Inconsistent absurd, declaring for simplicity though seldom practicing it' The tendency to sophistication among the deb and subdeb elements has complicated somewhat the problem of gowning the young person from her spring-heel period on, and the tact and taste of both modistes sad

Flesh-Colored Crepe de Chine; Motifs in Conventional Flowers. mammas have been heroically taxed to meet the problem properly. The doll baby child, the fussy beribboned fluffy ruffles, have passed, and the clothes of children now are comparatively sane and simple. A scheme of dress Involving just these admirable qualities has long been in vogue, though not standardized, as it were, and little belles have not quite found themselves Lu the fashion world. i The littlest ones have established a pew scale of dressing for hardiness by Emulating the Scotch Highlanders, and have apparently been quite as successful in it as their elders have long been in baring their chests and shoulderb to ballroom drafts. Lovely Wash Materials. Long before the tirst robin was due, the large shops were exhibiting quantities of new “wash” material. Shelves and counters have held great piles of the loveliest cotton goods in numberless combinations and contrasts of color, a bewildering variety. Women regarded longingly the crisp muslins and the soft weaves, but were puzzJed to know just how they would be used by modistes; for only during the war days were cottons proper for town wear. The exclusive designers and dealers in children’s things have led the way with models from Paris which the smart New York modistes specializing In for the younger set have cleverly reproduced in the materials and colors that best suit us. It Is well known tfiat in Paris cotton

Evening Apparel for Girls

In the matter of evening dress for • girl—big or little —until the hour of the debut, when she stands "with reluctant feet where the brook and river meet.” there is always the prob’em of making the “party dress” festive without overelaboration. It is a task requiring uncommon artistic ability, a discriminating taste and skill. Also there evolves an individual style a demand for self-expression, that must be reckoned with, and the modiste is wise who gives it appreciation. This season ribbon Is greatly in demand for the dainty little frocks worn by the children of smart people—frocks for th<> small and early dances, soirees of the dancing class, school celebrations and every sort of Indoor affair In late afternoon and evening. One of the most exquisite things shown is designed for a girl of fifteen. An underdress of flesh-pink crepe de chine Is veiled with a deep flounce of silk lace of cobweb mesh, the edge of which Is embroidered In small flowers in Dresden colors. Above this lace flounce Is a hand of five-inch taffeta ribbon and alternating ent re deux of

Feather-Bordered Gown for Evening Wear

, A gown built for dressy though Informal evening wear, and especially for dancing, was evolved from a Redfern conception, and has now become so universally copied and popular that its authorship is almost effaced. It Is the simple, straight chemise frock of satin, crepe or chiffon cloth, finished about the neck and sleeveless armholes with trimming. A band several inches wide of marabou or ostrich aroqnd the bottom of the skirt, Is the one gorgeous note of the costume. The skirt of this tn some variants. Is cut separate from the long waistline bodice, and is circular, so that the wide feather border about the hem has the appearance of ripping and falls in ripples as the wearer moves. The charm of the feather-bor-dered frock is indescribable, and it Is most alluringly expressed in a model of coral chiffon over a petticoat of silver tissue, the chiffon slightly draped, and bordered ail around with marabou of the same shade. These compositions In the new

is not worn—not even by the little ones—on the street. Therefore, the imported frocks are of the light wools, silks, crepes, voiles,” tn new wea vines, beautiful colors and most of them labeled with new names. For the first days of summer the silks are especially popular—not the tub silks that are indispensable for hot weather, but the thin, crisp lustrous taffetas, that have a little more important texture. In a swagger little shop catering to the most refined element tn fashionable society are shown a lot of these little silk frocks, either the original French models or attractive reproductions and variants. They are Intended to be worn by girls of the ages described as “juniors” and ‘•misses." and they serve to bridge with grace and comfort* that period known as the awkward age. They are almost without exception made in the one-piece frock, or tunic, and straight, and it Is the fashion in frocks for children, as for grown-ups, to have them cut a ‘Hoose fit,” concealing the angles and softening the gaucherles of growing youth. One that instantly intrigues the attention is a scarlet and white, stripes alternating wide and narrow, in red, satin finish, on a field of white taffeta. Another dress of the same type is in white taffeta with a very large bar pattern tn delphinium blue—un enchanting combination. In this same fascinating collection are silks tn narrow stripes. In checks and in the mixed plaids—sold usually without discrimination as Scotch plaids, yet assembling many colors and shades unknown to the clans, snd most picturesque. For service and “Shot” Silks Are Popular. The lovely “shot” silks are very much liked for girls' frocks, being somewhat "dressier” than the taffetas, plain or figured. They are the frosty, subtle rose, lavender, blue, yellow, green in the glint of white, and were never more beautiful more delicate than they are this season. Two tones in all of the colors are shown, and make adorable frocks, rose in every shade coming distinctly Into its own this season. Apricot, peach, hyacinth, petunia, canary, woven with a thread of silvery white, develop a fabric of poetic loveliness in sheen and the material de luxe for misses’ demltollette. These materials are so pretty in themselves that no trimming Is used, except, perhaps, a bit of lace, a collar of embroidered net or batiste, or the little glass buttons for which there is a perfect craze. The crepes are exceedingly fashionable, and their popularity Includes every age and grade of frock. As the little—girl grows and skirts must be longer and fuller, a waistline Is developed, and features are Introduced. The crepes de chine offer opportunity for modish models—the sort that assuage the consciousness of length of limb and foot, before of self-possession and poise has arrived. in the treatment of the model, deep collars of the plaited material are fashionable, also a soft sash and girdl}?, a cape, attached, of the same stuf/ as the dress, and almost Invariably a scarf. Plaiting Is very smart this season; there are plaited sKirts, floum-es. tunics, sleeves, colfars and an Infinitesimal plaiting as a finish for the etlge of a blouse or dress, opening down the front side or back. Plaiting is especially successful in the crepes, voiles nAd georgette. There are charmingly pretty figured and flowered patterns in the printed crepes, and these are shown iu many girlish, summery frocks, almost invariably without any trimming.

the lace of equal width, to the neck. This Is finished with a band of the ribbon straight across, forming the decollette bodice top and over the anus. Baby ribbon straps 'bver the shoulder join back and front. With this bit of loveliness are worn fine kid slippers with small rhinestone buckles, and chiffon stockings in flesh-pink. Fashionable Colors Yellow, soft tones of green. Chinese blue and lacquer red. these are t,he colors that are most in evidence In the fashions, either used alone or in combination with dark tones. One of the most interesting ways of employing a brilliant tone, such as red. Is In the lining of a coat. Frequently the outside material Is cut out in a manner resembling eyelet work and in the opening one sees a splash of color. Black With Cross-Stitch A small floor' cushion covered with needlework in a fascinating old-fash-ioned design is low enough and small enough to he of much service.

gowns, shimmering silver tissue veiled with delicately shaded chiffon and georgette, and with the thistledown touch of ostrich and marabou, are the most esthetic and sweetly feminine creations conceivable. Red a Favorite Rarely has there been a season when red held such a conspicuous position or when it was employed with such telling effect. A facing of red on a hat, or a wee cocarde of plaited ribbon in which red predominates, the glimpse of red In the lining of a coat, a gay scarf of red and white stripes, or a frock of chiffon in a striking shade of vermilion all emphasize the fact that red is this season decidedly a favorite of fashion. A Finishing Touch A braided girdle is the finishing touch to many things now. It is seen on gowns, coats, sweaters and even bathing suits.
