In the next war the Infantry will Ude, and the cavalry probably will be transferred from horses to airplanes. That “chastisement from within” which the movies are now talking about sounds like a case of dyspepsia. Show us the asterisk type-bar on his typewriter and we’ll undertake to tell you about what kind of a novel he has composed.

Then there is the kind of wife who makes a pretty good first sergeant for the kind of husband who is fond of declaiming, “I am the captain of my soul.” It Is estimated that in 92 per cent of the instances free verse Is what the young poet lapses back into when he can't make the blamed thing rhyme. Locomotives on a line into Chicago are to be gaily colored and have musical whistles. Now, how about some elephants and a circus band out ahead? A committee of French tailors is starting out to clothe man “Just as he ought to be.” The pressing need of the moment is a little change in the pockets. We’re probably as far along the way to imperialism as we shall go for a while; public opinion is strongly against it, and we haven’t any more marines. We don't know whether “Aloha Oe” was written before the steel guitar was Invented or vice versa, but whichever came first the other was almost Inevitable. There's nothing much the matter with the health of a country which cleans out the drug bottles in its pharmacies to make room for short-order cook stoves. E. E.

A national conference on crime should accomplish great good unless it is so managed as to further impress the criminal with the idea that he Is a psychopathic specimen entitled to be scientifically petted. An actuary reports that more people are injured falling in bathtubs than off ladders. An ex-doughboy thinks this probably doesn't apply to France, where he never saw a bathtub but went up a ladder to bed.

NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Earthquake in Palestine and Transjordania Is Fatal to Hundreds. By EDWARD W. PICKARD HUNDREDS of men, women and children—perhaps as many as a thousand —were killed in Palestine and Transjordania by the severest earthquake that region has experienced in a hundred years. Thousands were injured and other thousands were rendered homeless, in Jerusalem many famous buildings were seriously damaged, including the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Hebrew university, the Dome of the Rock, the Basilica, the Russian church, the Bagdadese synagogue and the government house on the Mount of Olives; but the casualties in the “City of Peace” were few. Elsewhere, especially east and south of the Dead sea, the destruction in towns and villages was almost complete and hundreds of mangled bodies were taken from the ruins of houses. Half of the town of Nablus was utterly wrecked and many inhabitants were killed. It was reported that 3<K> were dead at Maan, 36 at Amman, 72 at Ramleh and 80 at Ludd. In Jericho there was but one victim, but the Winter Palace hotel collapsed and other buildings were damaged. British military aviators from Transjordania helped in the rescue of many survivors, and relief work was got under way promptly. Pope Pius, deeply grieved by the catastrophe, sent instructions to the patriarchiate at Jerusalem concerning relief measures. The earthquake was felt in Egypt and caused great alarm but not much damage. On the same day there were severe temblors in Victoria, Australia. Floods following a cloudburst in the valleys of the Gottleuba and Muglitz rivers, tributaries of the Elbe in Saxony, killed about 200 persons and devastated the valleys, burying the ruins of villages deep in mud. Troops and hundreds of relief workers were rushed to the rescue, the Red Cross leading the expedition and being followed by the communists, the Fascists, the “Steel Helmets” and the rebublican “Reichsbanner” forces, all united for once in the task of extricating and feeding the hapless survivors. The same violent storm that struck Saxony raged along the Alps and Apennines in northern and central Italy, doing vast damage. Kevin Christopher ohigGINS, vice president of the Irish Free State, minister for justice and perhaps the leading man in the government, was assassinated as he was on his way to church in Booterstown. a suburb of Dublin. Three men fired bullets into his head and body and escaped in a motor car. O’Higgins, before his death a few hours later, whispered: “I go as Collins went and as my father went. I die as I have lived —for Ireland. I die at peace with my enemies and with God. I forgive them all.” The brutal murder caused intense indignation, not only in the Free State but throughout the world, and messages of sympathy were received by President Cosgrave from King George, the duke of Abercorn for northern Ireland and many other personages. Eamon de Valera denounced the crime as murder inexcusable from any standpoint and said he was confident the republican organization was not responsible for it. Ten men, all said to be connected with irregular organizations, were arrested, the charge being that as senior officers of secret groups they directed the conspiracy resulting in the assassination. One of the prisoners was a son of Count George Plunkett. * NOTHER week of debate in the naval limitation conference at Geneva, and no definite results. Great Britain, still striving to maintain her predominance on the seas but not willing that the conference should fail, suggested a compromise solution of the cruiser problem. W. C. Bridge-

Denies Russ Tour Is Sponsored by A. F. L. New York. —William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, charged that the aim of a delegation of trade unionists, sailing this month for Russia, is to bring about recognition of Russia by the United ■States and asserted his organization had no connection with the movement The delegation, he said, is composed of ten trade unionists and a large

man, first lord of the admiralty, said if the United States would agree to limit the number of 10,000-ton cruisers to ten each for America and England and six for Japan, he would be prepared to accept the maximum tonnage figures of 400,000 tons fixed by the United States. Mr. Gibson and his colleagues might have reached some agreement with the British with this as a starter, although it was asserted in Washington that our government could not accept Bridgeman's figures. But here the Japanese stepped in with the flat statement that they would not go above 480,000 tons for cruisers and destroyers combined, this being the total for both categories as suggested in the original American plan. Viscount Saito said his delegation was ready to return home without any treaty, and that if the Americans and British could get together, they might as well sign a two-power pact. This, however, did not suit Mr, Gibson at all. Mr. Bridgeman requested that a plenary session of the conference be held on Thursday. At this he, Mr. Gibson and Viscount Saito again set fortli the positions of their respective governments in the matter of cruisers, and there was a formal review of what had been accomplished—if anything. Talking to the correspondents, Mr. Gibson was optimistic. “We luckily hold a middle position” he said. “The Japanese are in full accord with our original figures and we can get an agreement with the British on increased tonnage totals under consideration. Now it is up to the British and Japanese to get together.” America has not definitely held out for 25 10,000-ton cruisers, Mr. Gibson added. q EPRESENTATIVES of the agriculIX turists in 15 Middle Western states, attending the Northwest farm conference in St. Paul, voted to sup port the McNary-llaugen farm relief bill until it becomes law. though they were willing it should be revised to meet President Coolidge’s objections. Drafted by Congressman Charles Brand of Ohio, the resolutions urged that the bill be changed: To permit the President to select nominees tor the federal board to stabilize prices of farm products, instead of having them chosen by farm organizations. To make the bill general in its application so as to include all farm products, instead of the five specifically named in the bill which Mr. Coolidge vetoed. MR. COOUDGE received a call from representatives of the Western Stock Marketing association who pre sented a plan for extending the co-op-erative marketing process to the cattle business, and asked government aid in its organization. Extended to the entire Western range, as is suggested, cattle would be manipulated just as the fruit growers of California handle their crops, holding them until they get a certain minimum price. Such an organization would compel the packers to bargain for cattle on the ranches instead of in the Omaha and Chicago markets. Among other visitors of the week at the summer White House were a large number of members of the National Women's party, just from their meeting in Colorado Springs, who presented to the President their demand for “equal rights for women.” The farmers of North Dakota also sent a delegation to tell Mr. Coolidge that they are in favor of the St. Lawrence waterway project and a new diversion of the Missouri river waters through the James river valley and to urge the early completion of those projects. FRANK O. LOWDEN, whose boom for the Presidential nomination has just received the indorsement of 10,000 residents of Montana, delivered an address before the Wisconsin legislature, and seemed to make an excellent impression. He confined his talk entirely to the problems of agriculture and the necessity for stabilization of prices of farm products. Especially vigorous applause greeted these two parts of the speech: “What the farmer asks is that he be given the same right to name a price in the first instance and that he be enabled to acquire an organization which will secure to him the same

staff of economists and styles itself the American trade union delegation to Russia. Its report, he said, was to be made the basis of the campaign for recognition. The following, Mr. Green said, are members of the commission: L.

Manion, president of the Order of Railway Telegraphers; Phil E. Zeigler, editor of the Railway

PROHIBITION COMMISSIONER DoRAN held a conference with his district administrators in Washington and warned them that hunesl physicians and retail druggists are not to be harrassed Ln the prescription or sale of liquor for medicinal purposes Prohibition agents are not expected to practice medicine or pharmacy in the enforcement of the Volstead act according to Commissioner Doran, who continued that doctors and druggists as members of responsible professions, should be given an ample op portunity to explain apparently irreg ular practices before they are sub jected to the expense of proceedings to revoke their permits. WHETHER the two $1,000,000 libel suits against Henry Ford will be settled out of court as a result oi ins public retraction of and apology for the anti-Jewish articles in the Dearborn Independent is uncertain at this writing, but Aaron Sapiro said he was negotiating a settlement of his ac tion. In Washington there was a mass meeting of Jews called to consider Ford's apology, and eloquent appeals for its acceptance in good faith were made. But a majority of those present preferred to wait and see if Ford's actions conform to his words. So the resolution of acceptance was rejected JOHN DREW’S death in San Francisco caused the nation to heave a sigh of regret, for the dean of the American stage was uniwrsally beloved and respected. His entire life bad been given over to the work of entertaining the public with clean, in telligent and thoroughly artistic acting and he passed away “in the harness” though he had reached the age of seventy-three years. Another capable and popular actor, Gregory Kelly, died in New York after severa. months' illness. DR. F. SCOTT M’BRTDE, general superintendent of tlie Anti-Sa-loon league, has issued a statement saying the league will make every effort to elect a bone dry congress next year, despite the fact that many constitutional lawyers are of the opinion that any modification of the Volstead act would be held unconstitutional by the Supreme court of the United States. “The 1928 campaign,” he says, “will be carried into every congressional district. Candidates who are not known friends of the prohibition cause will be opposed, while can didates who are friendly to prohibition will be supported to the fullest extent.”

— WHEN madam or mademoiselle lolls so happily, lazily under her vivid beach parasol or promenades in the warm sands or perhaps prettify poses upon the pier as she does in this picture, she is expected to do so tn gorgeous array.

And when she does just so, behold I a radi- | ant picture of decorative display on the beach, such as this illustration > sets forth. For this •‘useful as well as ornamental” beach robe striped khaki kool is I the preferred medium. The cap is । also of this Romany-striped material. At every step of the way along this ' sandy shore one meets these sirens of i the sea clad in spectacular beach ar- ; ray. Among the most popular beach coats which affect the picturesque in color are many of smart linen crash । dashingly printed, then bordered byway of contrast with black satin. Os all the interesting beach styles none are perhaps more interesting, at least from the point of novelty, than j are the capes and coats made of heavy • unbleached muslin, decorated to simulate hand-painting For Instance an

Thia new fashion of hand-painted unbleached muslin for resort wear bids fair to assume the proportions of a widespread vogue before the summer is past. One can make such clever coolie coats of the muslin, painting them as amusingly and gorgeously gay as one chooses. Gingham, too, is receiving its share of notice for beach apparel and bathing suits. Cretonne, also, continues to enliven the beach style, as it appears made up in robes, parasols. Bridesmaid’s Frocks Very charming are bridesmaids’ frocks fashioned on robe de style lines. They are of old blue taffeta with a wide band of rose color taffeta brought around the shoulders and down the front to the waistline where It ties in a huge bow with long ends.

cushions and also lounging pads. It s the “upkeep’ that counts, whether this be said of one’s new motor car, ones mansion or bungalow, one’s yacht or one’s airplane, or one’s costume if you please. “Upkeep” as applied to the tatter sums up in one word—accessories. A simple matter perhaps, that of purchasing a frock, a coat or both, but the responsibility does not end there, it is but at its beginning. The real challenge to good taste—and incidentally to one’s pocketbook— rests in die matching up of

head wear, neckwear, footwear, gloves, handbag, parasol, jewelery, boutonnierre and other items down to the minutest detail. Especially is this so, since fashion has become so arbitrary on the subject, accepting as an evidence of correct dress, nothing less than a perfectly appointed—a unified ensemble. This demand for harmony in dress has resulted in a genuine “get together” spirit among coutourier, milliner, bootmaker, jeweler and others who contribute to the costuming of the fair sex. It is quite the proper thing to buy one's silk hose at one’s favorite bootery, in order to insure a perfect match to one’s slippers, and as likely as not the salesman will insist on showing you a handbag made of the selfsame leathers as the shoes you are considering. This summer, matching parasols have especially entered into the scheme of things. Maybe it is a sun-

The latest is for handbag and parasol to show souie relationship, perhaps in color, perhaps in material. Snakeskin trimmings are finding their way into the realm of woman’s fashions most successfully. A new idea is the snakeskin handbag, with an interworking of the snakeskin in an accompanying umbrella. The illustration shows clever parasol and handbag sets, such as would add smartness to the street costume. Often a belt of snakeskin accompanies a parasol and handbag trimmed with the same. Ribbon plays an important part In relating the hat to the parasol in that the identical kind used to trim the former also borders the latter. Ombre grosgrain ribbon is mostly favored for this.
