Attention is being called to the fact that awmtomobiles played a l!vc\y part }4n the recent elections at Los Angeles A correspondent writing from that city ways: “Women went-to- the.polling Dlaces Dy automobile loads. Some went in . Harsiman motor cars, but mere in the Juxurious machines ot the Alexander supporiers.”’ . Those who had the most.awitomeblles ycommanded the biggest vote snd this +1s said to eccount for the.fact'that 90 !per cent. of the registered women voted. But 1t was not this that gave Alex- j@ander his 50,000 plurality, for it is fsdmitted to be exoceedingiy doubtful {3t Harriman-could have won. had he “Peen able to supply a limousine car _for.every woman voter in the City ot “The hAngels. THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. There is no question as to the need {or the good judgment of those who favored the establishment of the pos- al savings banks. FHere we are in the SAirst year of the establishment of these institutions and there are 5,900 branch- s of the postal, savings bank sys- tem, with twelve millions of deposits. And theré would be much more if the \depgsitor was not restricted to de- Posits of only $100 per month and $500 in a yvear. The sale of postal bank bonds is also restricted to January and July: These are restrictions for which there is no real defense. The millions already deposited have in no way in- terfared with the savings banks, and it [s estimated that with all restrictions Temoved there is no reason why the deposits should not eventually rise to two hundred and fifty millions. There are many sections of the country to {which they are a Godsend—the only weliance; and they must be a great consolation to people everywhere who {have no confidence in present institu- tions. The ignorant and the timid can ‘find refuge in these institutions. TAFT WOULD NOT INTERFERE. The people will sustain President *Taft in his declination to Interfere in {the case of the five cadets discharged from West Point for drunkenness. ‘There is no defence for the frequent breaches of discipline at West Point and the political Influence which suc- ceeds in overruling the action of the board and in reinstating the offender: i eimply makes matters worse—destroys | dtscipline. There is too much meddling poli- tics menacing the well-being of the { government's military institutions. In ithis cass mo fewer than five United States senators lent their influence imgainst the upholding of discipline at [ West Point. The president's reply was comprehensive. their request, but teld them that he i 9ri§ veto any bill to restore the ca- {dets. Doubtless the five senators re- ‘tired in good order, if not with all the honors of war. THE DISAPPOINTED CONGRESS- MEN. It is probeble that there is a feel- .ing of deep diszppointment on part of congressmen who went to Washington with the expectation of lambasting Detective Burns and his methods and winning the sympathy yand support of all the sympathizers ‘with organized labor by thelr. stirring land impressive addresses. The Mc. Namara confessions have checked - all i1lis, and the congressmen must change Ttheir tactics to win the support of the very element they would thus have * sustained in error.

Bible Question Box Your Bible questions will be mn- on—Which day should be ob- rved as the Sabbath Day: the first day or the seventh day of the week? —(A local question.) Answer—It would depend upon the religious bellef of the one who asks the question. To the Jew, the seventh day (Saturday) is the one to be o served, as it was commanded in the Law that was given to the Israelites, that they should keep the seventh day as a holy day. That law is still bind- ing upon_the Jews. It the Seventh Day Adventist: then let him keep the seventh day, for he believes that he is under the Law; and with that bellef he certainly should keep the seventh day as a holy day unto the Lord. To those who are members of some one of the various Protestant church- €8, or of the Roman Catholic chure let them observe the first day (Sun {@ay) as the day of rest, as they belleve | that it is so commanded, and sure- Iy it would not be right for them to violate thelr conscience by doing otherwise! To the true Christian, the con- | secrated childr of God; let these keep jevery dey holy unto the Lord, and not merely one day in seven. And let these enjoy a rest by faith in the Lord, and in His sure promises. Let no one attempt to judge anoth- er in respect to this matter of observ- |Ing the sabbath, or holy days. No one has the right to judge his fel- lowmen in this regard; but let every |man be fully persuaded in his own {mind. 1f anyone presu to judge another in these matters; he is vio- |lating » direct command of the Lord, as expres: one of His in: | Aposties—Col. 2:1c. e e Some go 80 far as to make a Sav! of the Sabhath Day! ' We are not sav: ed by faith in some day as the Sab- bath Dav. We are saved by faith in | Christ as the Redeemer of the world, as the Ecriptures everywhere affirm. And the Law is fulfilied by those who walk not after the flesh but after th. epirit.

Coats in_the highest favor are made of two contrasting materials, such as gray and violet, ble and greem, tan and blue. FRUIT CHET. Something new in the way of bage has been invented by a clever young womar with an eye for the art- istic, even in little things. Instead of the little flat sachet pads one usually sees, she makes them to resemble dif- ferent small fruits. Small pleces of groen and ‘white sillc are filled with sweet smeli- ing spices and sachet powder, with an outer covering of cetton directly un- der the silk that is tinted by hand In the natural color of grapes. They are then arranged ir small clusters and fastened to a broad green grape leaf with fine tendrils made of green silic covered wire. The effect is Quite nat- ural and very pretty.

A new wrinkle is to finish the corse- let skirt of satin with twists of ribbon in three different-colors. The ribbons are twisted gracefully about the top of the skirt, ending in one chou of the united ribbons at one side.

BEFORE THE WEDDING. Every bride should have the moral| courage to refuse all social engage- ments for one week lor to her wed- ding. Also she should refuse to shop or bother with any trousscau plans these last day: She should so arrango her fttings that all her clothes are ready at least two weeks before the date, and the 1ast week shouid be given to quiet and rest. ’ Certainly the bride that is not-worn out with bother about clothes and a round of entertainments has at least Some freshness and romance to carry to the altar. The elaboration of many a ‘wedding coming as it does upon the shopping, the house furnishing, the round tertainments, and the packing, has caused many = girl, tired out phys- ically, a nervous collapse that may argue i1l health all her married life. Everything considered, the tired out lines on the bride's face as she leaves her old home, and the goodibyes and confetti for the first stage of her life new journey, does mot argue a happy ‘eginning. For Christmas. It is not always the gift itself, but the way in which it is preseated that commends itself particularly to the re- | cipient. To the girl who thinks she | is t00 old to hang up her stocking send | & pair of sllk stockings, using one to | fill, and roll up the other and stick it | in ‘the foot. The rest of the stocking | should be filled with inexpensive trifles | —a home made jabot, tie or collar, a | handkerchief, some candy, nuts, rais- | ins, crab apples, a card or a calen- | dar, perhaps mome little kindly hits at ‘her hobbies that will amuse her.

It was made of two pleces of smooth pasteboard, each five inches by six, covered with a pretty wash material that harmonized with the room. After each plece was neatly covered, the edges being glued in place on the In- ner gurface, on the one intended for the front was fastened firmly & mnec- dle book flap, over & “leaf” of white flannel, in which were stuck several big, long needies.

This year she bas learned to use crepe paper in the making of sub- startial gifts and the demonstrators of this latest of handicrafts have been kept busy for some. weeks furnishing ratterns and suggestions to a smail army of feminine admirers of their skill. The secret of the stability of this new paper work, and its superiority to that of earlier days, is the use of the crepe materfal in rope or twisted form. It Is astonishing the difference that the twisted paper makes, and, while it Is necessary to acquire the knack of lvlnk)nx the ropes, there is 1- y no end to the number and varjety of the articles that may be evolved by an ingenfpus, industrious worker. muke tl rope, cut anTrI!-H” of the paper in the width desired, mak- ing certain that.he grain runs cross- wise.
