PREMIERS PLAN
TEN YEAR TRUCE
FOR ALL EUROPE
BOULOGNE, Feb. 25. Lloyd
George, in his private conferences
with Premier Poincare, which began
here this afternoon, will propose a 10
year truce in Europe, it was learned
today. The British premier has a
plan for limitation of land armaments
somewhat similar to the Washington
proposals of Secretary of State
Hughes concerning navies, which he
will urge upon Poincare if initial con
versations which deal with the Genoa
conference are successful.
NAVY CUT OPPOSED
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. President
Harding is understood to have told
Republican members of the house
naval committee at a White House
conference today that while he felt
some reduction should be made in the
navy personnel, the total number of
enlisted men ought not to be cut un
der 80,000.
The president also is said to have
strongly urged legislation for conver
sion of two battle cruisers into air
plane carriers.
While the question as to whether
the 540 members of the first year
class at Annapolis, to be graduated in
June, should be commissioned, was
not considered in detail, it was stated
that the president advocated a sharp
reduction in the number of men to be
admitted to the academy each year in
the future.
SALES TAX IS KILLED
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. The pro
posed sales tax to produce funds for
the soldiers' bonus is as dead aS a
mackerel. In fact there is increasing
doubt that any bonus legislation will
pass both houses of congress for
some months.
ONE HURT IN AIR CRASH

Appraising
To make the best success of any en
terprise one must know exactly why
It exists, what is to be expected of it
what are its ideals, what is it for?
This is as true of the home as of
any other institution and will make
the best home-keeper who has all the
specifications of her job clearly in
mind. To arrive at a very definite un:
derstanding of this why not sit down,
pencil in hand, and ask yourself the
following questions:
Why i sthis home: Is it a place to
rear children in? Is it a retreat of
order and quiet for repose? Is it a
base of supplies for outside activities?
Is it the most important thing in life
and all outside business merely a
means to supply its needs?
Is it for show? Is it a place to en
tertain society? Is it a place to relax
and seek comfort? Is it a work-shop?
Is it a place for play and recreation?
Hag it a social significance? Does it
add to the dignity and beauty of the
neighborhood?
Is this home, for each member of
the family, a place of joy; of develop
ment; of love and ocnfidence and sym
pathy; a place where one may bring
his friends; where inspiration soars;
where rest brings new strength;
where big ideas are discussed and ;
thought out; where real life may be
lived to the fullest?
If your answers to these questions
are not satisfactory, there is a chance
to remodel the home If they are,
whether the house is a palace or a cot,
whether or not it suits Madame Grun
dy, it is Home Sweet Home and the
dearest place on earth for each mem
ber of the family.
- THE WOMAN CITIZEN
Give the Country Child a Fair Chance.
For every hundred days of school
ing received by the city child, the
country child gets only sixty-five, and
besides this city schools offer ad
vantages which are not equalled by
country schools. Is that one reason
why the boys and girls leave the
farm?
The National Child Labor Commit
tee explains this poor attendance at
school by the country child. It is
due to CHILD LABOR on farms and
ranches. Do not blame the heartless
manufacturer, fathers and mothers, if
you let your own child be thus depriv
ed. This child labor on farms and
ranches causes as much absence from
schools as illness, bad weather, bad
roads, distance of home from school,
and influence of parents and chil
dren all combined. And this is not all,
Medical inspection and Health
Nurse care is. bringing up the health
of city children so that they are
healthier on an average than country
children.
Happy, independent dweller in God's
free country, the farmer. But are
you giving your children a fair start
in life? How will they be able to
compete with the city children who
are getting forty per cent more and a
considerable per cent better education
than they are each year?

MRS. SOLOMON SAYS:
S) fc a s ' -
Fresh-Air sleeping is fine for the
health, but, br-r r-r, it takes courage
these chill winter months. Why waste
bodily heat by retiring to a cold bed?
Why not warm it up by artificial
means so all you have to do when you
get in is to cuddle up and go to sleep?
A hot water bottle is a friend that is
not to be sneezed at.
Heels
It is not often that Dame Fashion
and Hygiea pull in the same direction,
but this year they are working to
gether to lower the high French .heels.
Except in dancing shoes and slippers
and with party frocks, the unstable
high heels are tottering into disfavor
i. hodI o i n i- not over
I Lilts uiuai puiu ai '-'
' an inch and a half h'gh. It is not the
I military heel, which is straight in line
! and wide, but i3 a substantial heel
shaped for grace. This heel is found
on house and dress shoes, while a
lower and broader heel is worn for
the Home
street, business and sports. High heels
may lead for the dance. But they are
at the foot for the rest of life.
Undergarments
However severely tailored milady
may step out upon the street, her fem
inine heart delights in the finest ana
daintiest of underthingsc. This is the
time of the year when she is laying in
her supply for the summer. These
used to be passed over the counter in
the "White Sales,' but to-day they
are rarely white, but mostly pink,
blue, lavender, black, navy and taupe.
They were never so easy to make
and many thrifty women are making
two for the price of one; or are using
left-overs from summer's dresses for
chemises, camisoles and step-ins. If
you are in a mind to make your own,
buy a pattern according to your bust
measure. Read directions carefully,
then hold the pattern up to you to be
certain it is the right measurement in
every direction. If it must be shorten
ed, fold a tuck in the pattern at the
middle; if lengthened, cut in the mid
dle and insert a piece of paper to
make it the right length
Materials are of the softest to cor
respond with the long flat lines of the
outergarments. There are silk crepe,
radium silk, wash satin, striped silk
shirtings, dimities of all paterns, ba
tiste, fine handerchief linen, and the
most practical as well as dainty nain
sook. Buy just as much as your pat
tem calls for.
Straighten your edges, lay it on the
table and pin your pattern to it taking
care to. have folds and seams come on
the proper sides and to have the pat
tern lay the right way of the goods;
mark notches .seams and folds; then
cut out.
Baste the garment together being
careful not to stretch bias edges. Try
it on and make any alternations neces
sary to fit your figure. The felled
seam is good for underwear. One side
of the seam is wider than the other
and this is folded under and hemmed
down flat.
Lace and embroidery are used this
year, but the tendency is for the tail
ored effect with bias strips of a har
monizing color for trimming, or sim
ple hems. Most of the garments are
slipover or step in and' require no
troublesome fastenings. A ribbon
gathers the fulness at the top and an
elastic holds it in at the waist. A new
invention is elastic shoulder straps.
These yield and permit freedom in
athletics and keep the straps from
slipping down over the arms as they
have an annoying habit of doing.

you happy; but, my friend, these I

NEW DRAFT MADE
OF RESERVATION
ON 4 POWER PACT
WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. Another
move for a compromise on reserva
tions to the four-power Pacific treaty
failed of immediate success today af
ter it had stirred up a spirited debate
in the senate foreign relations com
mittee. Coming directly from a conference
with President Harding, Chairman
Lodge laid before his colleagues a
revised reservation declaring in spe
cific terms that the treaty does not
contemplate "an alliance" and was
drafted to take the place of the blan
ket reservation to which a majority
of the committee members previously
had indicated their support.
Those who had sponsored the orig
inal blanket qualification immedi
ately opened fire on the new reser
vation, and the hour of debate whicli
followed was described by senators
present as the stormiest passage wit
nessed in the committei since the
days of the Versailles treaty fight.
Without takine action the commit-
tee adjourned until tomorrow, and
various groups Degan coniereuues m
the hope that more satisfactory
ground for compromise might be
found to prevent a long reservation
debate in committee consideration of
the treaty. Tonight the opposing
elements appareiUy were no nearer
I together than before.
AIR APPROPRIATION CUT

District Attorney Gives View
On Question; Expenditure
Included In 1922 Budget.
PORTLAND, Feb. 23. Despite the
action of the " tax supervision and
conservation- commission in lopping
from the proposed county budget
$85,000 intended for construction
work on the Mount Hood loop road
in Clackamas county, the commission
ers today expressed the intention of
taking the money from other road
funds in the budget and keeping their
word with the state highway commis
sion, if this can be done without too
great detriment to the necessary road
projects within the county.
Doubt as to the legality of appro
priation of money by the county for
work outside the county, advanced by
the tax commission as a reason for
refusing the amount desired, was re
moved by Stanley Myers, district at
torney, whose opinion, read at the
meeting of commissioners today, was
that "the county commissioners
legally may direct expenditures of
Multnomah county's share of funds
derived under the Oregon motor ve
hicle law, or any money provided in
the budget for road work, on said
Mount Hood loop road."
