Chicago— Submarine and spiral pet
ticoats have arrived.
You may take
your choice.
The fashion show has opened at the
First Regiment armory.
In several booths are fascinating ex
hibits of silk threads, the spools ar-
ranged primly in primatic colors. An
other booth has petticoats and negli
gees that have attracted a great deal
of attention by reason of their novelty.
The submarine petticoat and negli
gee is the oddest of them all. The
petticoat is of bluish green silk, the
bottom wired out into a hoop. Deco
rating the bottom and half way up to
the top are submarine scenes.
One
large under-water boat drifted placidly
through a marvelous deep-sea garden
of gilt and silver flowers, while bi
zarre gilded fish swam around it, peer
ing with evident curiosity.
The whole is cleverly portrayed, es
pecially considering the canvas and
the materials.
The spiral petticoat is a maze of
ruffles, which run spirally up the skirt
from the hem to the waist band. It
sticks out like an antebellum skirt,
and the negligee above it is quaintly
fashioned to carry out the fishu idea.
The lampshade petticoat also holds
its quota of admirers.

Washington, D. C. — Co-operation
between business and the government
in framing laws for the benefit of all
the people was urged by President
Wilson Thursday night in an address
before several hundred representative
business men, here attending the an
nual convention of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United StateB.
He
declared that “ we must all pool our
interests” in order to discover the best
means for handling public problems.
The creation in the United States
in time of peace of the same kind of
united spirit which moves nations dur
ing wars was advocated by the Presi
dent, who remarked that “ when peace
is as handsome as war there will be no
wars.”
“ When men engage in the pursuits
of peace in the same spirit of Belf-
sacrific as they engage in wars, wars
will disappear.”
The President predicted that while
there is a shortage o f food in the
world now the shortage will be much
greater later.
He pointed out that
under the guidance of the department
o f Agriculture efforts muBt be made by
farmers in the United States to grow
more grain, in order that the world
may be fed.
Speaking of the foreign trade of the
United States, the President asked

Mr. Bartholdt said England had en

tioning by Senator Sutherland, he
thought the effect of the Hitchcock
bill would be to weaken the allies.

Germany's attitude.

The ambassador called personally at

Turkish troops then made a successful
attack on two Russian battalions.

A Brief Resume o f Proceedings o f the People’s Representatives
at the State Capital, Bills Introduced, Passed, Rejected, Etc.
House Passes Its
House Votes Appropriations
Compensation B ill
Aggregating $1,185,627
State Capitol, Salem— By a vote of
55 to 2 the house passed house bill
222, providing a series of amendments
to the workmen’s compensation act
that are expected to remedy defects in
the law that have been discovered in
the few months it has been in effect.
The principal change contemplated
is to reclassify the industries and
make their rates o f insurance under
the act commensurate with the risk in
volved.
The measure requires the industrial
accident commission to investigate all
cases where it has reason to believe
that employers subject to the act have
failed to install or maintain safety
appliances required by statute, and to
report cases o f failure to a prosecuting
attorney and request criminal proceed
ings.
It further offers inducements to em
ployers to remove the hazard from
their shops and factories by reducing
their rates in propotrion to the reduc
tion of the number of accidents.
It was openly charged on the floor of
the house that the casualty companies
were eager to have the bill defeated
and that they would benefit by enact
ment of a law similar to the Michigan
law.
A dozen members spoke in favor of
the bill,
including
Representative
Scheubel, its author, and Sam Brown,
Mr. Smith, of Multnomah, Horne,
Hare, Lewis, Jeffries and Wentworth.
It was pointed out that the bill had the
indorsement of both employers and
employes, and Dr. Smith declared that
the best argument in favor of it was
the charge that the casualty companies
were against it.
State Capuol, Salem— Four big ap
propriation bills, providing expendi
tures for as many big Btate depart
ments and aggregating $1,185,627,
were passed by the house.
The several departments and the
amount appropriated for each for the
next biennium are:
Capitol and Su
preme Court buildings and grounds,
$58,560; state hospital for the insane,
$676,166; institution for the feeble
minded, $144,961;
Eastern Oregon
hospital for the insane, $305,860.
The bill providing $174,700 for the
state penitentiary and that appropriat
ing $28,215 for the blind school were
laid on the table temporarily to give
Governor Withycombe further oppor
tunity to study them.
None of the measures passed pro
vides for any permanent improve
ments, excepting the Eastern Oregon
asylum bill which carries $100,000 for
a new building.
In the 1913-1914 biennium, these
same four institutions and departments
had appropriations aggregating $1,-
376,946.61, which included $133,000
for completing the Supreme Court
building, $41,000 for new buildings at
the feeble-minded institution, $45,000
for new buildings at the Eastern Ore
gon hospital and approximately $45,-
000 for work on the new receiving
ward at the state insane hospital at
Salem.
The ways and means committee has
not decreased the per capita allow
ances for any institution, but has kept
the proposed expenditures at a mini
mum by eliminating from the budget
estimates all unnecessary improve
ment work and by allowing no new
work except the building at
the
Pendleton institution.
