Hi
.Soro, and it was only through the in
fluence of Frederic J. Haskin, upon
whose book, "The American Govern
ment," the film was based, that per
mission to take the scenes was ob
tained. Mr. Haskin is one of ' the boat
known newspaper men in Washington
life, and his intimate connection with
the goverment public officials has en
abled him to get the real inside of
every situation in tha American cap
ital. His four-volume bu-k i regard
ed not only by the gener xl public, but
by government olBci.ils themse.ves, as
a standard work and the finest of its
kind ever compiled. Mr Haskin sug
gested every angle of the jihotoplny
'Series known as "Uncle Samai
ctfork," and the Universal thought so
much of it as an addition to their pro
gram, that it was purchased outright,
and taken out of feature, in which it
had great promise of popularity
through its one engagement in Chi
cago. ,
"Where Uncle Sam Makes His Laws
and Keeps His Relics," shows two im
portant government, buildings, the
State Department Building and the
Congression Library. The film
starts with a very fine, close-up pic
ture of Woodrow Wilson, President of
the United States, after which he is
seen surrounded by his cabinet. Oth
er State, Government, and Foreign
officials are shown, including William
Jennings 'Bryan, former Secretary of
State, and Secretary of State Lansing, ,
who succeeded him; Sir Thomas Ce
cil Spring-Rice, and one of his secre
taries, Sir George Persh; Count von
BernstoriT, the German Ambassador,
and a number of other men prominent
in State Department matters.
In connection with the Library ol
Congress, a portrait of Bernard R.
Green, who designed and built it, and
vho died a short time after this por
trait was taken, is reproduced, to
gether with that of Mr. Herbert Put
nam, librarian of Congress. There
are a number of exhibits of rare
books, of which the library contains
as great a number as any library in
the world, including among its three
million volumes, kept on 155 miles of
book shelves, a first folio edition of
Shakespeare printed in 1023, and
which is now valued at thirteen thou
sand dollars. The machinery of the
library, the manner in which the
books are transferred from their
shelves to the desk, is an interesting
one, and is faithfully shown in the
film.
One of the interesting features of
the library is the section devoted to
the blind. Interest in Utis department
has been greatly increased bv Senator
Gore, rhe blind orator from Oklahoma,
who dictates his official correspond
ence to a blind typist in plain view of
the camera, and who has assisted
materially in building up the Free
I.ihrnrv fnr ihn Rlind." One of the
most popular books in this library is.
Frederic J. Haskin, which has been
reproduced in raised tvne.
r The latter part of the first reel is.
1 taken un with an instructive journey
to the Smithsonian Institute, where a j
great many of Uncle Sam's most high
ly nrized relics are housed. For in- I
stance, there is a camp-kit used by
Geortre Washington in the Revolution
ary War, his uniform, and other inter
1 esting reminders of our first Presi
dent. The chair in which Thomas Jef
ferson is said to have written the Vir-
characteristics of the different races
which inhabit the earth, is shown. One
exhibit which wll arouse the deepe3t
patrotism in the breast of every be
holder, is the view of the iriginal Star
Spangled Banner, wheh is shown foi
the first time in history on the moving
picture screen. This is the actual
flag whih inspired Francis Scott Key
to write the national anthem, and
Francis Scott Kex-Smith and his son,
nearest relatives of the author,' are
shown in one of the views in this installment.

Ribbon as Trimming for Hat and Gown
Quite the Thing.
New York Jan. 29. It is interest
ing to follow the trend of fashion
each season, to note how surely and
completely we come to approve of
even the most decided change 1 after
it has been presented to us in at
tractive guise, at different times and
on various occasions. . It surely does
seem, too, upon looking back some
few years, that each season's change
are for the better. For instance, the
full skirt; how we all poo-pooed it
when the whisper first began to cir
culate that it was to be revived, and
that our trim, youthful narrow skirt
had had its day. Today, however, tha
full skirt is one of the approved
features of the models, and is still
growing fuller. 'We smile upon it
approvingly now, and what, at its
fjrst appearance we looked upon as
bulk and clumsiness, is now consider
ed quaint and daintily feminine.
Ribbon is being used profusely as
irinuning on both hats and frocks. It
ranges in width from the ;nch-w.ide
Taille ' or more banding, girdling the
waist of -tha revere little frock of taf
feta or serge, or forming thj perky
i.o-'kade on the chic chapeau. to the
wdo satin, moire, or taffeta vibbnn
which forms the entire skirl, or bod
ice of the dance frock or diner dress.
In many of the new dinner and 'even
dresses iribbon bows of all descrip
tions are used for trimming; there
aro perky nttle bows, wide, graceful
b.iws, sime bows with flyiv ends
tacked on io bodice and skirt at var
ious angles. Mme. Jenny is particu
larly given to iribbon trimmingj; some
of her dainty dresses have their sheer
full skirts banded around the bottom
with wide metal-edged ribbons, giving
them a most effective appearance.
Jumpers Still in Voeuo
For late -sprig and early fall, there
is nothing quite as satisfactory as the
jumper dress or taffeta, serge, or a
sott lightweight wool.- Worn
! guimpes, or over the regulation skirt-
blouse or crepe de Chine, crepe Georg
I ette, or taffeta it makes an attractive
I costume for street and general day
time wear, perfectly suituule with
out coat or wrap. Such a dress has
all the appeal of a one-piece frock,
with the added attraction of being
easily freshened and changed by the
addition of a contrasting guimpe or
underblouse.
One of the mjst attractive of these
jumper dresses is illustrated here, de
veloped in tuffeta, with accompanying
underbodice of white crepe Georg
ette. The high collar, smart sleeve,
and flaring skirt present a pleasing
picture. The second frock is also in
jumper effect; one of the dainty rib
bon girdles, with long flying ends
and small cravat bow is a feature.
The skirt is unusual and now, and the
jumper particularly simple and smart
of cut. This idea is nicely suited to
either taffeta, or a fine serge. The
open throat, which will " probably
continue in favor during the summer,
is an attractive detail of the under
blouse of crepe de Chine..
A Word on Collars and Capes
"Collets,',' as they call those trim
cape-like collars introduced this sea
son, are features of many of the new
est frocks and blouses.' One of the
newest blouses shows a series of these
little "collets" graduated from a nar
row frill about the neck to a deej)
cape extending quite to the waist.
These cape- like collar3riesemblingthe
capes on a coachman's coat, are
among the latest and most approved
of the new dress details; tbey are
especially effective' pn frocks of taf
feta and satin. .
Variety In Sleeves
The drop-shoulder and full sleeve is
a feature of many of the new frocks;
in fact, the sleeve is the point it
would seem, where designers and
dressmakers are expending most of
their ingenuity. .Many original, at
tractive notions are being carried out
in the cuff, in the trimming, and in
the shoulder line. Fulness is a decid
ed feature, and many effective met
hods of trimming are toeing resorted to
for instance, stiff little truffles and
frills, and old-time quillings apnear
lending an air of 3840. which is quite
in keeping with the full skirts and
other features of this period daily
being introduced.
The Youthful Silhouette
There were many of us who be
moaned the passing of the slender
skirt because of its youthful air, but
Fashion has taken care of this, too,
in her new rulings. The flare of the
skirt and coat, the suggestion of a
slender waist, .the shortness of the
skirts, topped effectively by a perky
high hat, very close fitting,' and com
pleted with trim, well fitting foot
wenr is quite as youthful and trim,
and far more comfortable than the
pipe-stem skirt in which a natural
stride was utterly impossible.
