BY MARY MARSHALL. If you predicted a return of the cape fashion for this Spring, you were in a measure right. Actual capes have not made much of any splash in the puddle of fashion, but the cape effect—the coat or frock with some sort of vestigeal cape attachment—is decidedly tmfo tant. ‘There is the postilion cape collar, EEIGE LIGHT WOOL COAT HAS THE NEW SHORT DIVIDED CAPE AT THE BACK AND SIDES. for instance—a deep coat collar trying to look like a cape. Lelong has added to a coat & cape that parts in the middle at the back, fits snugly over the shoulders, hangs sides and disappears almost entirely at the front. Beer of Parls has sponsored sleeve- less coats with close, hip-length capes instead of sieeves. 'There ar: coats with scarfs that are worn spread out along the side to simulate capes. There are cape sleeves—sometimes to be found at one side only: capé pahels, ,bat-wing capes, ca) that are attached to the coat at the back. An important thing to remember is that the cape effect and the flaring hem line seem to be mutually exclusive, You may choose one or the other and dress in very good style, but these two developments of the season’s mode have wisely not been attempted in combina- tion by the representative dressmakers, Both, however, have the same effect— that is, they both make for a slender hip line—the one by the width across the elbows and the other by width across the lower part of the skirt. There is always something rather flattering about ~deep fringe. This week’s circular shows how to make & most effective fringed skirt drapery which is held in place by a deep hip yoke, to be worn over a simple little efternoon frock. The circular shows how to make the yoke and also how to make the fringe, reby saving your- self a pretty penny.

He started in 1881 as a page in the clerk’s office. Since 1919 he has been clerk. Edward McPherson was clerk of the House when Page first came to Capitol Hill. It was through McPherson—a Iriend of Page's mother—that he got his Job. Since then he has been continu- ously in the service of the House of Representatives in many capacities. The late Champ Clark once asked Page in all seriousness if it were true that he was born in the Capitol. Page replied in the negative, but said that he certainly expected to die there. As clerk_of the House, Page is charged with the responsibility of all | legislative routine in that body. Also he looks after the physical property belonging to the House and attends to the wishes and whims of members. Every month he affixes his sig- nature to some 3.000 checks which g0 to House em- ployes and in pay- ment for supplies. Page has another duty which is by no means a small one. This is answering questions submitted by people all over the country. His daily mail is filled with inquiries for information on every- thing imaginable, : A man wrote recently asking how much it cost the Government to operate the electoral college. Civic organiza- tions repeatedly appeal to him for a ruling on some parliamentary tangle that has arisen. The clerk of the House of Representatives is supposed to know something about everything. Strict care is taken to see that all Tequests are answered or at least acknowledged. He also handles the thousands of re- quests for public documents. In his 48 years of service Page has come in intimate contact with almost every figure of national importance. His experiences have been varied. For example, there is the time when the upsetting of an ink stand on his head by the Speaker of the House broke the tension of a heated session and caused belligerent Representatives to regain their good humor. ‘This incident occurred while Carlyle was Speaker and Page was & minor clerk. The House was in a bad temper and the situation was rapidly getting out of the Speaker's control. Vainly did he bang his gavel for order. During the incessant hammering an ink stand was jarred off the desk on Page’s head and Summer suit. So ridiculous did he appear with ink streaming down his face that the Representatives forgot their bitterness and roared with laughter. Speaker Carlyle gave Page $10 for a new suit and thanked him for accom- plishing what he had failed to do. Page is author of “The American's Creed"—a summary of American civic falth—which is said daily by some 11,- 000,000 school chiléren. He also has average, over or under weight. C. PLUMMER. compiled information gained through the years into a volume known as | “Page’s Congressional Handbook.” ‘What kind of a man is the new Sen- ator from Missouri—the one who will sit in the seat occupied so long by the illustrious Jim Reed? ‘The question might be answered with the simple statement that Roscoe Pat- terson shows scarcely a trace of sim- flarity to Reed. Unlike Jim Reed, Senator Patterson is not regarded as a great orator. Not that he has a poor delivery, but he sacrifices attempts at eloquence for logic. His speeches also lack the biting sarcasm and vindictiveness of Reed. He is a successful attorney and comes from a family of lawyers. His father and two brothers are members of that profession. Until he accepted appoint- ment as United States attorney he had lived all of his life in Springfield, Greene County. He is married and hds one son, Patterson is a man of personal mag- netism, makes friends easily, and keeps them. His friends say that he never is happier than when surrounded by peo- ple. His sense of humor is hard to nite, what a plezzant prospect for a happy future.

You Swear Off. ‘The constipation habit is in many respects like inebriation. No one who has long depended on physic, enema or other artifice of this sort can expect to be restored to a natural or normal state of health without a struggle, and where there's only a feeble will for lib- erty there is a correspondingly poor prospect for victory. As many chronic victims of the habit have discovered, it is not possible to recover by the tapering off process, nor by the sub- stitution of one kind of interference for another. Years ago such medicines 24 cascara sagrada were introduced with the fatu- ous suggestion that victims of chronic constipation could switch from what- ever purgative medicines they had reg- ularly taken to this new one, and then graduaily taper off the daily dose of the new laxative, until ultimately they found a cure. Of course, this was nonsense. No one ever recovered from the constipation habit by tapering off on physic. It is quite as futile to hope that any of the newer substitutes will rescue the physic habitue from his plight. I'll mention just one of ths it is homely, cheap and I have rec- ommended it to many. It is a daily dose of a teaspoonful or two of plain whole raw flaxseeds, either washed down with a drink of water, or swal- lowed mixed with jelly, fruit or a nu;g others.

He confessed to this writer that he was always glad to see any one | who had_infdrmation, for it was difi- | cult for him to get hold of enough to satisfy the demand. He is a great theatergoer, but pre- fers classical drama. He laments the passing of Shakespearean plays from the stage. If the Senator is not in his office it is a pretty safe bet that he is out in his automobile, for motoring is his one hobby. He and his family spurned the train when they came to Washington. He drives his own car and has made extended motor trips. Missouri’s new Senator is described by his friends as being the most typical representative of the “common people” of his State that the Commonwealth has had in the United States Senate for years. ‘They refer you to the circumstances under which he was elected. He comes from Springfield, one of the smaller cities of the State. His opponents Wwere from the two great urban centers—St. Louis and Kansas City. The “com- mon people” nl-‘ lied to his standard / and he was swept into office with a ‘majority of 61,000, Senator Patterson is a conservative Republican. There is nothing of the radical about him. He is for law en- forcement first, last and always. His views on prohibition are gided by this. As long as the eighteenth amendment is a part of the Constitution he will uphold it. He always has taken an active in- terest in politics.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN K. THOMS! A man stalled his car at an impor- tant intersection. A policeman imme- diately appeared on the scene and the driver expected the usual bawling out. Much to his surprise the policeman ac- tually smiled and offered to help the man start his car, The driver was so dumfounded that he later sent the po- liceman & note of thanks inclosing a $10 bill. Of course there are a great many po- | licemen who are not gruff and abusive, but there are enough of them who stand ready to take off your head at the slightest infringement so that the pub‘llcl ‘has come to look upon them as typical. It is partly our fault. We expect po- licemen to be rough and abusive. From early childhood we have been trained to fear the policeman. Some mothers tell their children that if they do not do as they are told, the policeman will get them.. The policeman serves as & convenlent boogleman. */ Moreover, the police are in the busi- Zoss of -dealing with lawbreakers, who. as a class, are anything but kind and entle and considerate. - They are a rd lot and only harsh methods are invited and suggested by their own con- duct, They look upon the- police as their natural enemy.

Many cases are handled in this way. The police- man' is imitating the judge. Even when his language is original he is acting to maintain his personal dignity and the dignity of the law according to his light. (Copyright, 1929.)

B&ACKE’EWH HE: cereal. I mention this homely remedy here because I find the flaxseed route is an easier one for some victims of the constipation habit to follow in their break for liberty. It is some- thing like the wooden cigar some in- veterate cigar smokers like to have in pocket or in mouth when struggling with the tobacco habit. It is quite essen that the victim of constipation habit clearly under- stands that the mechanism for the con- trol and regulation of the bowel is wholly automatic and in no degree under the control of the conscious will. Interference of one kind or another is more or less under the control of the will. If you can restrain the interference, even after long years of habitual intem- perance the automatic action of the bowel will go on as normally and as smoothly as though there had never been any interference. grasp tie significance of this, for it contributes toward the assurance and confidence you must feel if you are to win the battle with a habit. ‘There is no such thing as a bad habit of heart beat, for instance, be- cause the heart beat is entirely con- trolled by involuntary, unconscious mechanism; but there is such a thing as a bad habit interfering with the heart beat control—end the only rem- edy for that is the correction of the VAPEX— for colds ... the up-to-date method - VAPEX is acomplete departure from old-fashioned remedies and cures.

Maybe we should call it the interfer- ence habit, instead of the constipation habit, for after all it is the interference which is habltual, not the constipation.

Strange was the correspondence that passed between John Wésley, the| founder of Methodism, and Emanuel | Swedenborg, the great Swedish scien- | tist, philosopher and seer, who estab- | lished the Swedenborgian Church. | It took place when Swedenborg had reached the ripe age of'84.

And it was not unusual that when the | aged Swedenborg came to London in| what was to prove his final visit, the great preacher and teacher should have | thing was that he should not have in- formed the visitor of his wish. But this he did not do. Swedenborg in this late descent upon | the British metropolis eeemed as active | and energetic as ever, which is saying a | great deal when the all-embracing in- | terests of his life are considered. But after he had settled himself in lodg- ings with two old friends, a wigmaker and his wife, a dire thing happened. | With the happy Christmas season at| hand, he suddenly fell & victim to| paralysis. Por three weeks he lay un-| consclous. Wesley returned in six months it id be too late to visit him.
