Mr. President, the United States paid Fmuce every dollar of the debt incurred at that time —a full settlement ala higher rate of interest than we are now proposing to ask,” he said. Here Senator Borah had for antagonist a recognized specialist in the intricacies and the traditions of FrancoAmerican finance at the time of the Revolution, especially in the matter of the loans which Benjamin Franklin negotiated with the French financier, adventurer, and dramatist, Beaumarchais. That antagonist was Senator William Cabell Bruce of Maryland, author of the monumental twovolume “Benjamin Franklin Self-Re-vealed.” Mr. Bruce said: “The senator is aware, of course, that France made some very large gifts to the people of the United States during the war of the Revolution?” Borah replied, “I have not been able to find any record of them.”

To Restore the Robert E. Lee Mansion

AT THE request of Representa : five Cramton of Michigan, the house adopted a resolution awthorizing the restoration of the former home of General Robert E. Lee in Arlington cemetery, across the Potomac river from WashfißiKon in Virginia. The resolution authorizes the secretary of war to restore the mansion as nearly as possible to the condition in which it was prior to the Civil war. and to procure, if possible, articles of furniture and equipment which were then in the mansion. Replicas are to be obtained where the original pieces are not available. The resolution states that “now honor is accorded Robert E. Lee as one of the great military leaders of history, whose exalted character, noble life and eminent services are recognized and esteemed, and whose manly attributes of precept and example were compelling factors in cementing the American people in bonds of patriotic devotion and actiop against common external enemies in the war with Spain and in the World war, thus consum-

Policewomen Would Establish Reforms

WITH an ambitious projt mm for the education of the public regarding the work of the policewomen and for curbing delinquency among girls the International Association of Policewomen, of which Lieut. Mina C. Van Winkle, director of the local woman* bureau, is president, has announced the establishment in Washington of its headquarters. The association, founded in a small way in 1915, will seek to ameliorate crime conditions among women, with a view to minimixing the necessity for arreting women and in the hope of keefAig at a low level the number of women prisoners In the jails of this and other countries. Dr. Mary B. Harris, formerly superintendent of the New Jersey State Home for Girls, has been made field secretary in charge of the headquarters of the association. The association already has succeeded In establishing standards and requirements for woman police. In its

And What a Ruction E. T. Cahill Started

WHILE nations, states and cities wage the greatest legal, legislative and verba! battle of the present day, involving future navigability of the Great Lakes, the man, aged and worn, who started the whole fight between Chicago and northern United States and Canada, remains obscure, unmentioned and unrewarded. His part in this affair, which has aroused more heat than any controversy in years and. which put* at stake hundreds of millions of dollars, may soon receive official recognition as well as some measure of reward from the Wisconsin legislature. And once Wisconsin starts. Canada, the dozen states’ and the eighty large cities Involved may chime in. But since his work started the battle. Edward T. Cahill, now of Washington. D.

He had spent all of his earnings as a Chicago attorney, and almost all of his time for years. to bring about the recent verdict of the United States Supreme

Borah knew al! the intricacies of the Franklin-Beaumarchais diekerings — how the French government refused to take any risk in connection with them, how alleged gifts were no gifts at all, but loans, which were ultimately paid In full; how Lafayette, coming to help us, had to leave France in secrecy’ in order to escape being overhauled by a government that did not ’want us to be helped. He quoted Franklin and Beaumarchais, and Alexander Hamilton and Woofiraw Wilson, and. having driven Bruce of Maryland nearly frantic with his citations, he wound up by contemptuously brushing all the citations aside and saying: “Mr. President, those things are only interesting at this time to stay possibly the continued criticism that the United States is ungrateful and is assuming the attitude of an Ingrate in not forgiving tins debt because of the services of France in the American Revolution, France joined with America in that contest, but she Joined with America because it was to her interest to do so.

SPRING MILLINERY APPEARS; SMART SHOES OF PLIANT KID

IN THOSE sunny lands down on the Gulf of Mexico and along the Atlantic to beyond the West Indies, spring has already advanced more than half way toward summer. And there to welcome It and frolic with it, are troops of tourists from everywhere. fThey include many fashionables from the frigid North, gay butterflies decked out in lovely spring finery, and the vital question before the house Is—what are they wearing? They gather, to see and be seen, at the fashionable rendezvous in Palm Beach. Miami, Havana and many other places. If we were to run in upon them today at afternoon tea, say in the coconut grove at Palm Beach, it is certain the first thing to arrest our eyes would be the millinery that blossoms In that delectable place. A great name is signed to the three hats at the top of the group. At the

One can imagine the graceful and gracious hat in any of the season’s delightful colors. as fuchsia, pervenche blue, gold, light green, alcazar red or soft yellow. The hat at the top is of hairbraid and owes its commanding position to the very high crown topped with a cluster of flowers. The lyre!ling brim is covered with varicolored little blossoms set on separately. At the right, one of the new turbans with wide coronet is made of silk. Narrow braid is applied to the coronet in a floral pattern. Below this a lovely picture hat in straw is shown, with wide facing of silk. The large flat flowers at the front are of ribbon

Colors and shapes are flattering and there is great diversity in styles, but this group is made up of important and dominating types.

Women Jiave gown so exacting la the matter of their footwear that the art of making shoes lias bocome a very fine art indeed. Beauty of line, style and color are as important now in shoes as they are in hat* and, in addition, shoes must fit “like a glove.” To make them come up to standards that constantly advance in the diversity of types required by women of the day, designers and manufacturers spare neither themselves nor expense and the exquisite footwear they have launched for spring proves their efforts worth while. There is nothing bizarre about new styles—they are conservative, but it would be inaccurate to describe them as simple, although they have been so described. This is a compliment to their designers, whose fine and intricate work results in sue* clean-cut line? that the first impres<

sion is that of simplicity. The same thing is true in millinery and frocks. On account of Its pliancy, kid has been chosen for the smart- and graceful spring styles in shoes which so adroitly flatter the feet. Shoes, like hats, must “do something" for their wearers—more is required of them than 4 merely to cover the feet. Since women Insist on smartness and style, and take comfort for granted, manufacturers have turned to kid skin in order that the three factors of success way be combined. A survey of the best shops reveals golden brown, beige, gray and, of course, black, to be the most popular colors. There are many shoes in which two colors are combined, as black and • beige or black and brown. Occasionally one sees the introduction of a higher color, as strong blue with black

A study of the footwear shown here will give anyone an accurate Idea of fashionable types in kid shoes for spring. Sheer hose in tan, cocoa and “nude” shades, as well as hose to match gray, beige, tan or brown frocks, are fashionable. When the weather is too cold to wear these thin stockings safely women wear fine hose of angora wool under them. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. (©. 1»M. Wasters Newspaper Unloa.)
