Mr. Fletcher In his letter suggested that before any recognition was extended
an InfonniU agreement be made with the Mexican authorities that American
citizen would not be deprived of their property rights without compensation,
find that such property as they were deprived of during the Cnrrnnzn regime
without compensation would be returned to them.
He also urges the Immediate constitution of a mixed Mexican-American
claims commission. This commission should adjust all claims of American
citizens against Mexico and of Mexican citizens against the United States.

Into the unsatisfactory conditions
of the construction Industry. The
committee recently opened headquar

Next on the program was a visit to
Chicago, with probable hearings also
In Minneapolis and Kansas City.
In Chicago, for example, It is esti
mated that there Is a shortnge of 100.
000 houses and that thousands of
building trades employees are out of
employment because of Inability to
get construction materials.
These preliminary conferences
have developed the fact that imme

Calder urged' the Interstate commerce

A Sign of the Times in Germany
Times have changed, and in Ger

that has set Berlin talking. Printed

"Princess Alexandra Victoria
daughter of Prince Frederick, duke of
Schlewwlg-Holsteln, bus been divorced
by Prince August William of Hoheii
r.ollern, fourth son of the kaiser, and
has eloped with Fritz Meyer, her
chauffeur."
Anyway Frnu Meyer, tho princess
that was, Is now ou a honeymoon.
"I'd rather be the loved wife of a
chauffeur than the unloved wife of u
royal prince," she tells her friends.
Her ex-husband's comment was
the bland announcement royalty is
well rid of his quondam spouse. But
the people of Berlin are still gasping
from the shock of the affair.
At tho time Prince August Wlb
Ham brodght Ids suit for divorce from
the charming, beautiful and reputedly
extravagant princess ho charged kIio
"common tastes and democratic name."

OUTDOOR life has come Into Its
own, especially In the lands of
brief summers. Hverynne appreciates
the benefits and tho chnrni of life out
In the open air and modern homes are
bnllt to allow much time to be spent
outside of walls. Kven city dwellers,
with no bit of gnrden or scrap of

to make the most of such porches as
they may he blessed with and nre mi

them Into a semhlnhcc of gardens.
The family that has ii porch at Its
disposal can nlmost live In the open
air. Kveryone grnvltates toward It as
toward an open fire In the winter
time, lt'ls n good Idea to furnish It
for comfort and as attractively as
possible, Including a table for serving
breakfast, lunch, or refreshments
when one has guests. The porch fur
niture may be of wicker or equally
fashionable painted wood. Colors
should be quiet and cool and a coat
of enamel used as a finish. The house
wife will Hnd this use of the porch
for tnenls n great labor saving and an
exhilarating change from the dliilni:
room. Instead of linen for the porch
table there Is a vogue for plain oil
cloths, white or colored, cut Into cen
ter pieces and dollies and painted or
stenciled in colors. They do away
with the laundering of linen, saving
the precious fabric, now so scarce as
well as saving labor. With vines and
flowering plants a porch becomes a
lovely place and guests enjoy It. For
serving refreshments, colored linen,

Watch Your- Steps.
The Importance of graceful walk
ing never has been more evident than
now. All the styles In fashion are In
tensely feminine,, and It Is no exag
geration to suy their success depends
nlmoft entirely on the way they are
worn and carried. Draperies floating
from the wnlst demand spring In the
step and light feet that do net lag.
Short sleeves are lamentable, 'inless
the arms and hands are well frmcd
and well kept, and there Is no charm
In the display of silk stockings unless
tho ankles be slim. In the choice of
clothes women must firs be honest
with themselves and then choose ac
cording to nature's endowment.
The Need of Matrons' Hats.
That the mntronly womnn needs as
much attention In supplying h?r with
becoming and suitable hats as does
thi. fatnnt woman In recard to suits
' and dresses Is the opinion of one of
tlnexs. but color plays a less Impor
tant pnrt this season than In the early
history of sportR attire; designers ar
rive at their results by more subtle
means.
There Is plenty of color, however,
for those who Hnd It booming and It
Is used wit delightful artistry In
some of this season's sports sets a

some sort. In the picture above there
Is a skirt and smock of coarse nnttiral
Unen. Tho skirt Is short and full and
plain. The long blouse has convenient
three-quarter length sleeves and com
fortable round neck. What puts this
smock on the map of the fashion world
Is the vivid embroidery about the bot
tom of the smock which might of
course be tin applique of linen in
bright colors outlined with ynm ' lu
