The clothes she wears on the tennis court are, judged by our standard, somewhat fussy, but unless lone is of a distinctly athletic type these clothes are Infinitely more becoming than those of the more severe and mannish cut to which we have been accustomed. We In this country tare beginning to realise this; consequently the French influence Is now felt more strongly In our own sports clothes than ever before. A blouse developed in blue serge, with brown leather lacings, Is cat so as to fall in loose, baggy folds, thus giving freedom of movement. While this model made its initial appearance on the Riviera, It appeared later in the showing of Madeleine et Madeleine. It has been copied with many variations In one Instance being dei veloped from serge, with stripes em- ;> broldered in silk threads. It Is made I; of this latter material both with and % without the lacings. When the lacing ? Is used, a black patent leather belt, i Inlaid with brown motifs, finishes the •• waistline. I Interest ,In 8klrta. In skirts for sports wear great tn- | Iterest is manifested. In models of decided design, 8hHwing big pockets, trimmings, panels, strappings and ; other features. The use of novelty • materials adds to the extreme look, woven plaids and stripes in high colors ; being combined with plain fabrics In 1 contrast or in harmony to work out the most eccentric of the new styles. A skirt of fawn-colored serge has • huge square patches of checked burella ion either side, and In these squares pockets are inserted. The skirt Is biade to wrap about the body at the top, closing in,a crisscross fashion by means of tabs and large buttons. From r- the lower, tab to the hem the skirt ' Is cut away In a diagonal line. In other words. It has a one-side closing / which laps far across the front at the top. A glimpse of the plaid shows at , the hem in the form of pantalette cuffs • attached to a full length panel of the •; plaid. These new skirts are quite dif- , ferent from the plaited sport skirts of • wool that we have been wearing. The ^ remarkable trimmings of gay colored cloths bring a bright note Into them. Front PaneJ That Disappears. Another skirt, developed In blue merge, has trimmings c" yellow, blue v and green plaid In the form of saddle pockets and a disappearing front r panel. In this model the method of closing the front is reversed, the over- - lap being at the hem and the cloth cut away in a diagonal line to reveal the - plaid cloth panel at the top only. This r* panel, however, extends the full length of the skirt, and attached to the bottom of It are straps which button around the legs. These are entirely invisible except when the skirt Is blown about This, while sounding rather - extreme, is really a capital Idea In a sport garment It is most lnterastlnt to aote the Increased popularity of the pantalette cuff and divided skirt. Practically every Important maker has included some phase of the divided skirt Idea In the spring models. Cellarless Blouse, Red-Bound Edgea. A dress which embodies this Idea Is a simple serge frock la leather brown with straight hanging side panels piped in bright red and buttoned on to the baggy trouser skirt Here, too, the low hanging blouse fullness appears, and on the puffy bodice a trimming similar to that used on the skirt Is placed across the front where the lower half buttons to the yoke. This blouse Is collarless and all the edges are bound with red. To the Spanish influence wa may attribute the lavish use of leather, not only for trimmings, but for entire garments as well. One French firm shows a dark leather coat lined with bright red duvetyn. Lanvin makes very smart straight box coats of leather that are without fastenings ot any sort In the camel's hair topcoats there appears to be a preference for the three-quarter length style, which Is cut to flare sharply toward the bottom and is tightly girdled with a string belt thus giving the effect of an even greater flare. Either set-In or raglan sleeves may be used. Some of the newest homespun coats have no fastening other than the belt the front of the coat lapping widely and,being held together merely by a tightly drawn girdle. This, of course, makes a very warm garment as the coat Is really double across the front It is smart to wear a bright plaid scarf with these coats. One maker " of distinctive sport clothes is having phenomenal sac cess with suits developed from Canadian homespun of an open weave, similar in appearance to burlap. In times past homespun suits were extremely plain, the only thing attractive about them being their durability. There never has been-a trimming tha/ could be suitably combined with homespun, so there was nothing different about them year after year. As women, demand something new In their clothes, the homespun salt was not especially popular. Trimming Easily Achieved. , This designer conceived the Idea of fringing the fabric to form a trimming and also of drawing threads to make beautiful patterns in the cloth. As this is a trimming easy to achieve and very attractive, ever so many of these homespun suits have fringes of the material on both skirt and coat The skirt may have a tonic edged with the fringe or tiers of the cloth may be applied to the skirt and coat For example, one suit of golden brown Canadian homespun is made with a box coat and a plain skirt Fringed tiers of the material are added to both the coat and skirt on either side, leaving a plain panel In the back and front. Worsted fringe has even found Its way into white suits. On one model red yarn fringe is used on both front edges and around the bottom of a box coat aud, also outlines a panel on the skirt One of Lanvln's best models Is developed In Mae serge with bands of tucked taffeta in the form of panels bordered with an elaborate embroidery in vivid red. The sleeves, which are In bishop form and very full, are elaborately embroidered In color. The bodice is cut in a low, rounding form in the front and worn over a chemisette or gulmpe of pure white linen with a Byron collar and a bright red tie; the whole making a really charming costume for resort or country wear. Crepe de Chine Is in Favor &.v Material More Popular Than for Years; Formerly Regarded Only j as Dress Fabric. * •r.-Ciepe da chine has not played ao ' important a role for several years in ? the dress field as the one acqprded It this season. When this fabric first r-- pgjfje tnto general use, years ago. It ranked as a dress fabric. Later mana- -p: facturers of undergarments and neg» .. *.•%.? ligee apparel and designers of blouses r claimed It as almost exclusively their *; > s owja property, and the crepe de chine A; frocks brought oat were few and far , With Summer Sweaters. White washable skirts and those af plain or accordion plaited serge, pongee or baronette satin, and, for real utility, big, merry looking plaids In lightweight woolen goods, are all appropriate and In the best possible style to wear with summer sweaters. between. This season some really charming things are being offered In crepe de chine, and, as every woman knows who has ever had any experience with the material. If of good quality It lasjts amazingly. In pastel shades the fabric is particularly lovaty for evening frocks. Adjust Fasteners. Whed putting snap-fasteaers on • dress, measuring and pinning may be avoided by chalking the snappers after sewing them on one side of the material. Pressed on the other side, chalk marks will be left In the proper position for the catches. Qay Colors, Large Patterns. A liking for unusual materials to have developed along with the ae> ceptance of plaids, and in these, too, a preference Is shown for gay colors and large patterns, if we are to judge bgr the things that are being shown.

V ' Wcirt and Blouse DHTefc In the realm of sport suits, garments Showing skirt of one material and coat or jacket of another are quite approved. For example, a skirt of black and white checked wool fabric may be topped by a coat of all black, and a bright plaid skirt featuring a number of colors Is worn with a coat of henna colored tweed. Another color and fabric combination Is the dark colored coat preferably black, worn with a bright-colored skirt, the coat being bound all about Its edges with braid in a color .matching the skirt ( • : > • With Cape Coots showing cape backs are In all lengths, from that reaching baldly to the waist to the full length model, says Dry Goods Economist. In some of the full length coats there Is a very original mixture of the salient features of cape, coat and dolman. The dolman influence is seen most frequently In the sleeves, the cape in the loose, full back and the 'coat hi the front and vest effect*. Springfield. -- Issues which have been popular and which aroused interest in the past were missing in the recent municipal elections held in central Illinois. State and federal laws erased the "wet" and "dry" proposition from the ballot and, as a result there was little opposition In many of the .cities and towns where political tests were made. Candidates on the Labor party ticket made gains in various localities. At Beardstown they elected five members of the council without opposition, and are in control of the city council. Labor candidates were chosen in three out of four wards at Virden, and, in addition, labor elected its candidate for police magistrate by a lai-ge majority.

"Jt** - ~ 'L * ;X i J,"^ uwfi PLAN TO AD R8AD Section Adopted Provides for Highwijf Improvements In Part by Special 1 Assessment--Compulsory Vot- * !*" "'tog Proposal Is RejeeMit 1*'. ' ;•* Springfield.--Plans to obtain better highways at once in the state is the purpose of measures adopted by two constitutional convention committees the past week. First the revenue committee voted to remove all constitutional limitation on the tax rate of counties. Except as curbed by the legislature, there would be no limit to taxes for county purposes. The present constitution says the county tax rate shall not exceed "75 cents per $100 of valuation unless authorized by vote of the people of the county." The committee on township and county government recommended a section for the new constitution authorizing the general assembly to provide for the construction, improvement and maintenance of public highways and levy ta»?s therefore. Then the committee said that the legislature may delegate such powers to any political subdivision of the state. The purpose was to permit counties to embark on extensive road construction programs by direct taxation. The committee, however, went still further. It adopted another section conferring on the legislature power to "provide for the improvement of highways, roads and bridges in part by special assesment" and to spread the assessment over a • road extending through more than one county. The committee on revenue also decided to appoint a subcommittee to draft an article on taxation. In addition to Chairman Gale, there ore Dawes, Kerrick, Shuey and Watts Johnson on the committee. A plan to Incorporate in the new Illinois constitution a section requiring voters to exercise the right of suffrage was rejected by the convention by a vote of 24 to 49. .The vote was taken after a debate on an amendment offered by Delegate William J. Sueed of Harris to the report of the suffrage committee. Delegate Sneed's amendment provided for the disfranchisement of voters who do not attend the polls. Delegate Edward Corlett of Joliet opposed compulsory voting. "The people submitted to the selective draft law because it was their patriotic duty." said Delegate Corlett "but X don't believe they will continue to submit to force. I am against the pUui because it Is coercive. Former Gov. Joseph Fifer also spoke in opposition to the plan, characterizing it as a "doubtful and dan gerous amendment" The machinery to enforce such a constitutional provision would break down under its own weight Delegate Flfer asserted. Public utilities of Illinois are under the eye of important committees of the convention and proposals of vital Interest to them are being shaped. In view of action by some of the committees, public utilities will not fare badly under the new constitution, according to delegates who seek to have the state public utilities commission eliminated and the power to regulate rates and the utilities themselves placed ttlth the municipalities in which they function. A subcommittee of the corporation committee has adopted a tentative proposal eliminating from article 11 of the present constitution section 3,' requiring consent of any municipality before a railroad can occupy any street or highway; section 11, which prevents consolidation of parallel railroads and removal of competition, and section 13, regulating issuance of Btocks and bonds for fictitious Increase of capital. The subcommittee offers as a substitute a proposal which reads: "The rates, charges and service of all common carriers, railroads and public service or public utility corporation shall not be discriminatory 09 confiscatory, but must and shall at all times be reasonable and just botty to the general public and to such coi^ porations." • Delegate Green of Champaign county counsel for the McKlnley system of utilities, created a sensation among the fqfes of the commission by announcing before the Judiciary committee that Delegate Scnnlan's proposal to strip the commission of Its arbitrary powers was a step In the right lirection. Delegate Green said the utilities he represents have favored the commission under its present organization. Other speakers advocated curtailment of the commission's powers providing for a review of its finding* by court Its form of procedure, the scant courtesy shown to officials of cities and their counsel having hearings before the tribunal, changes made in dates of hearings without notice to counsel, causing long, fruitless trips, were aired before the judiciary committee. These objections were held to be faults of the administrative functions of the tribunal. ;; Drop Freezone on • toudqr corn, then lift that com off with fingers Farmers Ask Considers*!** . Proposals for writing into the new constitution articles urged by Illinois farmers were made by the executive committee of the Illinois Agricultural association. The program asked includes a smaller tax rate on tangible and Intangible property, a state income tax, and the creation of a land bank. The recommendations of the committee were made at an all-day discussion of the program which tha farmers desire. Resolutions from fans bureaus of 84 counties, urging faro* I able action were read. o . :"wu *' t' r. .- Doesn't; hart a bltl Drop a little Freezone on an aching corn.

In Lithuania, when a bee stings a man he turns the other cheek. And almost literally, at that, because It Is a sin to kill a bee, and no one ever commits that sin Intentionally. ha a result of their natural fondness for bees, Lithuanians, with the growth #f their economic system, have developed bee raising from a general social custom to an important Industry. Thousands of barrels of honey are exported from Lithuania annually. Almost everyone in Lithuania has it least one bee hive. Sometimes they have swarms of thousands. But It is common even In the cities to have a nan serve you midus that Is made Troth the honey gathered In his garden blve. Midus, the national drink of Lithuania, la made from fermented toney.

Fanny Crosby Credited With the Com. position of More Than 6,000 Popular Religious Lyrlea. Fanny Crosby, the blind writer of more than 6,000 hymns, had an interesting if uneventful career, according to a recent sketch in "Along Broadway," musical magazine. She lost her eyesight when only six years old and 12 years later, at the New York Institute for the Blind, she met and fell In love with the blind musician, Alexander Van Alstyne. They were married and lived happily, Mrs. Van Alstyne afterward becoming a teacher at the Instltuta Many of Fanny Crosby's best known hymns are to be found in the popular Moody and Sankey gospel hymn books. The simple earnestness and true religious spirit of her hymns make them as popular as ever. Some of the best Including "Jesus Is Calling," "Only a Step to Jesus," "Come, Great Deliverer" and others have been sung by great artists and recorded for the phonograph. WHERE IS TRINER'S, * If, THERE IS HEALTH This slogan is correct even under the worst circumstances. Mr. A. F.» Fencl, a miner from Galloway, W. Va., wrote us on January 15, 1920: "As to the results of Trlner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine, I recommend it sincerely to the miners In case of constipation, headaches, stomach-ache, etc., caused by the vitiated air of the mine or by the powder-smoke and carbon gases after blasting, when the miner returns too early to his work before the smoke and dust have been sufficiently removed. Trlner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine makes me and my brother more hardened and keeps us In good health, and others to whom I had recommended this remedy report the same results." If Trlner's remedy helps under such circumstances, it must be good, and its results in normal conditions must be peerless. Ask your druggist or dealer in medicines also for Trlner's Liniment which Is excellent for rheumatism, neuralgia, sprains, swellings, etc. --Joseph Triner Company, 1338-48 8.
