THE NORTlf PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. TTnnr ihXJWLt Would Be Senator the cnse of Brent Dow Allinson, Chicago draft dodger, now serving a term nt the military prison nt Fort Leavenworth, as far n's the state department was concerned. It was through him that Allinson was ordered homo from Switzer land, where he had been a clerk In the American legation. Upon his return Mr. Long refused to hear his application for reinstatement. As n result Al linson fell Into the hnnds of his local draft board nnd was sent to Fort Leav enworth on a technical charge of desertion. The war department denies the letters wore opened and says Kyplns was never connected with the military Intelligence division. Mrs. Baker on Mrs. Abby Scott Bnker, political chairman of the Nntlonnl Women's party the militant branch of the suf fragists, boasts that she Is afllllated with neither the Republicans nor the Democrats. Nevertheless she kept n close watch on both conventions. And hero Is what she says of them In part : "At Chicago, in so fnr ns was compatible with men's own Interests, women were overlooked nnd forgot ten. "When their clamor became nn noylngly Insistent somebody threw them a soporific bit In the wny of a promise or n llve-nilnute speech which was no more equnl representation .than a lithographed poster Is grand opera. "There women were kept like a lot of canaries in cages. And when one presumed to flutter outside a bit ns did Miss Hay with her objections to certain workings of the party she was clapped right btrclc behind the bars of limitation. "At San Francisco the men exhibited n more generous spirit. The dan ger was that the women would be fooled enough to go away In n satisfied frame of mind. Whnt they needed to remember wns thai until the thirty-sixth state ratified the amendment, what they did get was In the wny 'of gift nnd not because it was theirs by right." Colonel House Now a Journalist MP IM MTMTl time pretty much everywhere overseas nowadays. Tho colonel, witli his ac quaintance, should burn up the cables. And then, should the" colonel ever run short of copy, he has but to grow reminiscent and all the world will listen. Speaking olfhnnd, there appears to be several chapters of unwritten American history that Colonel House can tell quite as well us anybody and doubtless better. Ambassador Jusserand to Return Jean Adrien Antolne Jules Jus serand, French ambassador to the Uni ted States since 1002, has gone to France. He sailed the other day from New York, with Mine. Jusserand. What's more, he Is coming buck, which fact Is regarded with satlsfiae tlon In ofllclul Washington. There was a report that he was not to re turn, but It was promptly denied by tin? French government. Just before sailing, M. Jusserand said It was his first renl vacation since" tho beginning of tho wnr. He said thnt ho nnd Mine. Jusserand sailed for a rest, and he added with a smllo thnt it was only becnuse ho needed a rest thnt he did not remain nn Interested spectator of tho presidential race. "Last year," he said, "I went to Franco with President Wilson, but thnt wns a time- of work. Now I expect to visit friends In Purls and then go Into the country nnd live there quietly until I return ngaln to the United Stntes next fall, possibly not later Hum Septemner. "There are no diplomatic mutters pending beveen this country and Frnucp, but with the problems left by the wnr to he solved by the nations of the world there Is work for everyone. We must all take our pnrt." As to the report thnt ho might ho recalled, the ambassador said they were without foundation and that no attention should bet paid to them. talked ABOUT From Missouri lireckenrldge Long of St. Louis tins resigned ns third usslstunt sccro tury of state to become n cundldnto for" the Democratic nomination for United States senator from Missouri. Senator Heed's term does not expire, until 101a, but that of Senator Spencer expires In 1021, Inasmuch a he wns elected November 5, 1018 to till tho vachncy caused by the death of Sen ator Stone. Incidentally an odd controversy that revolves around Mr. Long has sprung up. Prof. Stanley I, Hyplns of the University of Minnesota, ono of the "Committee of 48" leaders, says ho opened Secretary Long's mall dur ing the war. lie says he was In the mllltnry Intelligence bureau nnd was ordered to open the letters "merely hi cause the secretnry had been In com munication with a conscientious ob jector." It was Mr. Long who disposed of the Convention Col. Edward M. House, the mys tery mnn from Texas, has joined tin ranks of working newspaper men. Along with such distinguished Journal ists as William Hownrd Tuft and Wil linm Jennings Brynn, he will push a t pencil und punch a typewriter In tho process of turning out copy for tho dally press". Colonel House, however, unlike the other two, Is to he n foreign cor respondent, with n roving commission to observe the ways of Europe and re port upon them. Ho Is n competent observer, with nn ncquulntnnce wide enough among those in high places to Insure 1dm nn ndvnntnge In obtaining Interesting tnatorlnl. He Is welcome. America cannot be too well Informed concerning whnt the rest of the world Is doing. Tho Philadelphia Public Ledger Is to be congratulated upon having engaged his services. There Is something doing all the ACCESSORIES LEND CHARM TO DRESS SHE Is a wise woman who gives time and thought to small ac cessories of dress. Tho list of them Is amazingly long and ever varying, nnd by means of them smartness and variety nre lent to costumes thnt must otherwise become monotonous. Not counting Jewels, consider how flat and stale wardrobes might become If there were no fans, no veils, no pretty col lnrs and cuffs, no crisp vestees, no de inure fichus, no plqunnt undorsleeves. no colorful ami dainty nrtlllclal (low ers, and no world of ribbon ornaments to transfer their flnvor nnd chnrm t the costume that has become an oh story. In order to achieve variety, and Interest, and to endow any toi lette with character one must look to accessories. a Lending off with the most Important of these first nlds to the plain cos tume, wo shall huve to reck6n with neckwear; collar arid cuff sets, wnlst coats, and the fichus. Lace, organ die, batiste and net are used to make all these, and they lend .a touch of freshness and daintiness that is be yond price. This season reveals many sets In light colored orgnndle, pret tily embroidered. After neckwear, glr :dles mny claim to be of more Impor tance than other things. Hero bril liant and rich ribbons transform the frocks they ndorn. The girdle be comes nn eyonlng bodice by sufilctent widening nnd Is sometimes the un forgetable touch that makes n gown distinguished. Flowers for tho corsage, In little Women and TIOSE who hnve the welfare of the human race at heart realize that .the most promising field for their ac tivities lies In clilld-welfnro work. Gradunlly It has dawned upon thecon fdousness of increasing numbers of people that the state owes every child Jts supervision nnd has n right to dic tate how any child shall be cared for, provided for und educated for the first sixteen years of Its life. The state provides schools and compulsory edu cation laws and when the time conies thnt these aro carefully enforced n great step forward will have been taken. But the state must go- farther thnn Vnerely providing the means for ob taining schooling and this Is n theme In which women show unfailing nnd vital Interest. Children have the right to be comfortable, to be well nourished nnd clothed, to be taught cleanliness nnd mornllty. Many charitable asso ciations nnd many women organiza tions have Interested themselves In these nffalrs of children In certain localities, but the work i3 not as uni versal or as thoroughly organized ns It should be. A plan lias been evolved that might have unlversnl application, nnd It alms to give every child a chance to make a good citizen. This plnn advocates tho establish ment In every co'unty of this country, n chlld-wetfnro hoard. This board Is to be made up of public spirited citi zens jvho aro willing to serve on It without pay. The hoard will hnve un der Its Jurisdiction every poor nnd de pendent child, nnd will exercise Its supervision, under compulsory stntutes, with proper appropriations made for their enforcement. The provision mndo by such n bonrd for children Is not a charity any more thnn n public school Is. The Idea Is to avoid any stigma thnt might nttach to a child who has been n charge of chnrlty and the object is to start every child on the right rond to good citizenship. Such n hoard will mnko Itself felt In the homes und Insist that condi tions are us fnvornblo there ns possi ble. It will sometimes undertake to provide homes. It will hnvo n record of every child's progress at school und nost.gnys for the bodice or collar, aro innile of organdie, ribbon, velvet, silk nnd chiffon. It Is their cheerful color and their exquisite form that mnko them Invaluable In touching up a toi lette. The graceful, floating veil has Its votaries; It seems only gentlewom en take kindly to the veil, or Is It -that tho veil lends Its wenrer ills luctlon? At any rate there Is so aeat a variety of veils this season hat there Is no describing them In a hort article. ( There Is a revival of fans; stnrtlng V with the handsome ostrich feather arletles, there followed fans of other feathers like the hnndsome barred spe cimen shown In tho picture. And now painted satin fans, mounted on pearl and shell sticks, aro coming In. They are smaller than the feather fans, nnd arc beautifully nnd palnstnklngly wrought. A Separate Lining. The French hnve a proctlcul Idea of economizing in linings and under wear by adding to tho wardrobe two linings which they call a "Mnlllot." These slips are of thin satin, one light, one dark. Gray Is the color usually chosen for the Intter and flesh pink or pale yellqw for tho former. This gar inent Is nothing more than a corset cover and - petticoat combined, cut In one piece nnd fnstened down tho back. There are short sleeves thnt carry shields. Such garments ' provide a good lining for summer gowns. Child Welfare every child, rich or poor, will hu registered with It. Any number of, activities will radiate from such a cen ter. The Important thing Is to estab lish such boards nnd their first busi ness will he to have such stntutes en acted ns will secure the right protec tion nnd care for every child thnt needs their help. This is n work that will usually attract women and for which they nre peculiarly fitted. It Is somcwiint dllllcult to dlsnsso elate It from nny thought of charity, but It Is merely n widening of tile supervision of tho state over Its chil dren. Heretofore the state has pro vlded schooling nnd gradunlly, In crowded centers In the huge cities, It has extended its cure In other direc tions than schooling, so thnt the health of children has come In for systematic attention. A child welfnre board will mnke every Interest of every child its business. Such n bonrd saves t)o public money In the long run besides doing about tho best work thnt uwalH the Interest und activities of Intelli gent men nnd women. Hats and Parasols Match. Huts and pnrasols thnt match aro favorites for this summer. An excep tionally lovely large hut of black elmn tllly Ince, trimmed In roses that was displayed recently, was mated with u tiny parasol of the same Ince. For sports wear n parasol and matching hat, shown by one of the smnrt shops, were made of Inch-wide strips of rib bon In two contrasting colors Inter woven basket fashion. A narrow self, frlngb ilnlRhed tho edgo of both para sol nnd hat. Wooden Rporto HatB. Wood liber ns light In weight as struw, Is tiding used for sports hats this summer.
