Now that the world Is safe for democracy, democracy must be made safe for the world. Anarchism was turned inside out and upside down by Dr. George L.

Bprlngfleld.--Adjourning for the Week-end, and with the announcement that a joint session of the two branch «b of the legislature would be held on Wednesday, in observance of the birthday anniversary of Lincoln, members of the assetrbly were advised by the senate and house leaders that it is imperative to get busy at once on the yast amount of work awaiting action. LAt the joint session on Wednesday Senator William A. Rodenberg of East fit. Louis has been asked to deliver the •ddress. Senator Keaslnger's vocational edu- •flation bill, favorably reported out of committee in the senate, was advanced (to the order of third reading. An Identical bill, introduced in the house of representatives by Ralph E. Church Of" Chicago, was brought before the house education committee. The committee has two other similar measures, also fathered by Representative Church, which provide different methods of administering the vocational training. Private institutions which would not profit by funds made available under jthe federal Smith-Hughes act are offering some opposition to the vocational education bill, it Said, with the bope of getting another bill through jgiving aid to other than public school* t* vocational training work. ( An emergency appropriation bill •taking up a deficit of $1,500,000 exist- |Bg in the .state department of public (welfare has been approved by the |louse committee on appropriations. It iwas explained by Director Thome that toe funds were necessary to keep the (state institutions running until the resources of the present budget were (available. The deficiency was -attributed by him to the increased cost of iBoodstuffs and supplies, some of which, "fee declared, had advanced 180 per cent. , Advocates of the managerial form of ijgovernment for Illinois cities are said HO be finding opposition to the bill in- Soduced in the house by Representave Frank E. Abbey of Biggsville, projsing amendments to the present )rm of government act. ^ 1 Under the measure, which was referred to the committee on municipalises, city commissioners would receive tiot to exceed $300 a year. Their dujties would be purely legislative, functions now performed by them being lelegated to "directors," who would be ibject to dismissal by the manager. The proposed new-system might be Sdopted by vote of cities and villages ot exceeding 500,000 population. 1 By a special section of the Abbey jblll, auditors would be employed to '"maintain a continuous audit of all departments" and report them to the manager, the purpose being to make Dssible a responsible finance account- Is the most - revolutionary possible. What wf in America fail to realize Is thai it is the extreme of democracy based upon tfce idea of absolute equality. It is a leveling process and the great danger lies in the fact that It is the higher class, the intellectual and artistocratlc, which is lowered to the status of the lower classes. Therefore It will, in the end, be detrimental to all progress." He paid a tribute to President Wilson, placing him beside Washington and Lincoln.

"Hold your bonds!" This is the urgent warning given by Charles H. Sehweppe, director of the Liberty loan organization of the Seventh federal reserve district, and is in accord with the campaign of the loan committee. "Local dealers are advertising their desire to receive Liberty bonds in change for merchandise," said Mr. Sehweppe. "This Is good business for the merchant, but is not profitable for the customer, and is besides, in direct opposition to the request of the treasury department and unpatriotic as well. The longer bonds are kept the more valuable they become.^ The fact that Liberty bonds are today selling below par Is primarily due to the recfent trading in them." . Movie Censorship Measure.

Because of the two-thirds required for adoption two advocates of the resolution were paired against one opponent. Immediately after the vote, leaders of women's organizations announced that the fight would be caiTled on in the next congress, in which the Republicans will hold both senate and house and which, friends of the resolution believe, are certain to adopt a new measjire. In explaining hla decision to support the resolution Senator Pollock of South Carolina, Democrat, declared the women had won the right to vote before the war and had doubly earned it by their "magnificent spirit of patriotism" In the war. Replying to arguments of Southern opponents of the resolution- that it would increase the negro vote, Senator Pollock said: . "I say here today that I have confidence In the white people of America-- blood Is thicker than water." Statements were given out by the National American Woman Suffrage association, In which its officers severely criticized the result. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president,^ was quoted as declaring: "It is not the women; It la the nation that is dishonored." A statement attributed to Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president of the association, said: "It Is to be regretted that the United States congress has failed to measure up to the spirit of democracy expected of it by all the world." Portuguese Leader la Wounded. Lisbon, Feb. 12.--It is announced from Averio that Capt. Henrique de Paiva Coucelro, the royalist leader, has been wounded, probably in fighting at Lamego or Vizeu, which have been taken by republican forces* Hfetr Ttrler a year the little gyration of public opinion takes plaCe •round tailored suits, writes a leading fashlofi correspondent. There Is a rapid swirl around a new center, and It sweeps over two continents. Twice a year women regard the tailored suit as the most Important problem to be solved. A new one for autumn and a new one for spring Is the necessity of the rich and the extravagance of the merely well-to-do. The glamor of oneplece frocks, heaped with fur or covered with smart topcoats, dies out. In butumn and spring we approach days when wraps are burdensome and the one-piece frock, Unprotected, is chilly. We need the American costume that was Invented to serve our necessity. In January we begin to face the winter, and yet, with our usual caprlciousness, we face the fact of choosing a new tailored suit. Even if we do not buy It, we talk about it. We like to speculate upon Its possibilities. We show exceeding Interest in the new fabrics that are advanced for it and the colors that the season will proclaim. Shirtwaists and various types of blouses engage our attention. The length of coats, the narrowness of skirts, the warmth of veldurs, the serviceability of taffeta, the probabilities of satin remaining in fashion, are phrases and reflections that flit through the mind. The dressmakers do good propaganda work along this line at this time. The Palm Beach season Is thrown at us like a brilliant flag against a gray, s^eet-filled sky. It delights our souls. It makes us think of palm trees and coconut groves, of red clay roads In Georgia and Carolina, of pines that reach Into the blue and croon queer songs throughout the night. In other words, the tailored suit, offered to us today, makes us all dream; and dreams of pleasant things make life bearable. Moderate 8kirts In 8tre«t Suits. Now, here are the essentials to produce the dreams: Skirts are moderate In length and width In the new things that itre exploited. They do not sweep the ankles; they do not curve In at the back of the knees; they have little rasembjnnce to the lower part of a mermaid's body; they are straight, their seams hold them steady; they barely escape the ankles, and they allow freedom of movement. There Is no return to a flare at the hem of the skirt. Nothing ripples. But if the skirt Is not permitted to curve out, neither is It permitted to curve In. Remember that, for It Is an essential Step toward grtyce. There |s an entire absence of fur on the suits. This Is appropriate for the season, but it is significant of the fashions of the present hour, for many women buy suits in January that are intended to serve them through the cold weather yet to come. - They must be guided In their choice of reduced suits today by what \will be worn tomorrow. The best tailor Is content to let a skirt go free of ornamentation. Braid Is overdone, fringe has become commonplace, and neither will be returned to the spring fashions, as far as the prophets can see. Angora embroidery vanished with the war. Bias bands are good, and one of the best suits worn by one who prides herself on leading the way, has three bias folds, doubled and stitched at the upper edge. These ornament the hem. Any woman would care to know the details of this suit because of its prestige at the moment. It Is of rough cheviot In a mixed, golden brown that reminds one of the heather mixtures, only the touch of green is absent, there Is the straight skirt with Its double bias at the hem. and tho coat that ripples a bit from shoulders to hips. There are bias folds flaring away from the surface of the coat, at the hem and the wrists. The sleeves are cut straight, neither yielding to the Inclination to be Spanish with a bell-shaped opening at the wrist, or skintight, after the medieval manner. There is a wide, rolling collar that ends at the bust, and the fastening Is unique; it consists of four long, wide tabs of the cloth, stitched at the edges, pointed at one end, with a long, stitched buttonhole. These buttonholes go over large buttons covere with the material. The stitched tab ^ run well across the figure, but the fronts of the coat swing open just a bit as the wearer moves, to show a mandarin yellow crepe de chine blouse. Coat Linings Attract Attention. The dominant factor in tailored suits is the lining. It dominates the coat. It Is intended to create more attention than the outer surface. Its coloration 19 vivid, and now and then it displays the animated designs of the tapestries of the middle ages. Animals rove over its surface. Human figures are engaged in human activities. Hunting scetes, pastoral scenes, g«y little bits of street life, are put on the surface of'your coat lining, and if you are clever, you see to it, that the public is instantly made aware of the novelty. The pity of it Is that one does not take off the coat in public. That fashion went out of existence long before the war dominated the world. It has not been reversed. Women keep on their jackets until they take off their skirts. And yet, with this fash- Ion an accomplished fact, the designers by the usage of pictorial linings, are stimulating women to put th- ' coats over the backs of chairs when ever possible. Why pay a large price for a piece of satin tapestry if you cannot show It T , \. The average woman, however, does not accept these animated desf&ns, although she Is quite willing to the verdict for viyld coloratloi (Copyright, 1919, by the McCluw paper Syndicate.) j Influenza and kii diseases start witWcold*' Don't trifle with it*, At the first shiver~o!t sneeze, take CASCARA '-•BKi Standard cold remedy for 30 y--r» i form--hIc, sure, no op'i ai tfee*n----obrrttaaikcaai » la 34 boun--relieve* grip in 3 day*. backifitfaila.

To make use of old sweater* that cannot be darned for further wear, take the good part and cut the required . size for children's leggings, crochet all around them, picking up every stitch so they will not ravel, lap one side over the other and sew together. Busy needleworkers who like to do a little embroidery in spare mlnntes will find this, a quick way of working stem stitch. Sew on the machine along stamped lines, being careful to follow them accurately and using a rather short stitch. Thread your needle with embroidery floss and pass the needle under each stitch, eye first, keeping on the ujJ{>er surface of the material, that is, you simply overcast or whip with your embroidery thread the fine machine stitching. A perfect raised cord or stem is the result, and It takes much Icgp to embroider It In the usual waf. \ • j 1 " Sowing Tips.

MAKING OVER VELOURS HAT How Unfashionable Headgear May Be Transformed Into Latest Style- Same Treatment,for Felt. - Ajstaiple and affective way of £mafc- In* over" a large, unfashionable velours hat is to cut a band perhaps an inch and a half wide from the brim. Then take this band and place It around the crown, tytng the ends in a loose knot at the side or In the front, as one's taste dictates. There is no question of matching colors, and'the curve of the band makes the "trimming" fit especially well. If the hat Is altogether too large, cut the band rather wider at the back. When the band Is removed, a short back poke is left The wide portion of the severed band may be cut in tho shape of quills, the edge neatly wired. The narrower part should be cut In two or three strips and twisted around the crown, while the "quills" are placed in front.

T • One of the conspicuous frivolities of feminine dress that the stern war-time spirit Is helping to banish is the extreme Louis Quinze heel. These tall, curyed heells are worn on slippers and on iormal footwear of a dainty, dressop character; but street shoes have almost Invariably sturdy, sensible heels In the military or so-called college etyle. The college heel is very low and flat --like the mannish heel--and when the rest of the shoe is smart the flat heel Is very smart; but a flat heel on a poorly shaped shoe/ makes the foot clumsy. Most women prefer the military heel, which Is something like the old-style Cuban heel except that it Is not quite «s heavy, in outline or In actual weight. The propw shoe for street wear with tailored costumes is of mahogany tan or black Russia calf with the new low heel and a long toe, attractively stitched and perforated^--though wing tips and. extra strappings of leather are omitted to conserve material. Formal footwear is slightly more dainty in type, with thinner sole and higher heel, and such boots have usually a top of buckskin or cloth In pale gtpf jQC fawn color. . Novel Hat Trimming. A simple but extremely smart trimming for a mushrootp sailor of black velvet, seen recently in a fashionable Fifth avenue shop, consisted merely of a string of jet beads, not very large ones, caught about the hat where crown meets brim, and ending with two dangling ends of beads below the simple knot. The beads were beautifully cat and the effect was most plea» ing. , A Dainty Handkerchief. Black dots on blue form the decora* tive scheme of one of the dalntieot of the new handkerchiefs.
