"Wo women who nave worked for equal suffrage went Into this because
we were dissatisfied with the methods and results of the old parties. Wo
women have definite Ideas nu to the future. Even men have urged us to go
nhead and form this third party, for they feel the hopelessness of the present
.situation. 1 believe that an organization of women composed of the think
ing, Intelligent, honest and earnest women of the country wou.'d wield a tre
mendous power In our national life."
Mrs. Helmont thinks the country needs a third party to prod the other
old parties Into honest endeavors In yervlng the best Interests of the people. '
Good Old "Rah,
Marlon Leroy Hurton Is the new
president of the University of Michi
gan, which has an enrollment this
year of 10.G00 students. Doctor Hur
ton has his own ideas about reforms
in education demanded by the times.
"The duty of the educator and of ed
ucational Institutions," be says, "Is to
rnake the now social order what It
ought to be. Unless education can
take the millions comprised in the
youth of America and make them In
to good citizens, then I seen no future
for democracy.
"The good old 'Rah, rah!' days
are gone. The student of today is
more mature. Through the war he
lias come Into contact with the stern
er realities of life, and he comes to
us with n greater vision of what he
needs. Wo must nti.se to supply the
things he Is hunting for.
"There nre two great enemies out
educntlonal plants have to overcome
superficiality and formalism. We can
no longer allow that loafing, lazy, slouching standard that prevailed among
college students of a generation ago. We must have a thoroughgoing con
centration and tench a man some iden of what It means to be nllve."
Ho also said the college examination system was the finest thing that could
be devised to keep a mnn from becoming educated. He said educntlon must
look more to specialization to sorting out the vast hordes of students Into
groups or units having special needs or aptitudes, to give them more efficient
preparation for life. He Indicated that more specially defined courses or
schools In the university would be the tendency.

The legion Is committed to "strict neutrality" on political questions. It

.Tnpan, and the exclusion of "picture brides."
Hymans and
M. Paul Hymnns, former premier
of Helgium, wns elected president of
the League of Nations nssembly on
the oitenlng of that august gathering
nt Geneva and In thin fact many who
still remember the "scrap of paper"
profess to see a sort of poetic Justice.
M. Hymans was born In 1805 In
Hrnssels. He was educated nt Hrus
sels university. In ISS.'t he became a
barrister at the court of appeals. He
lias served as professor at his alma
mater. He is n versatile author, hav

for Third Party
Mrs. 0. II. l Itolmunt, noted ns mi
anient suffragist, didn't vote at the
November election. Furthermore, she
declare that she doubtless will not
cxorclo this right of suffrage until a
woman's national party begins to func
tion ns an actual working, political or
ganization. "There was no reason
why I should vote," said Mrs. Helmont.
"I had no choice of candidates. I
should say, that so fur as women are
concerned, there Is nothing In either
of the old parties to engage their es
pecial Interest." Mrs. Helniont Is now
In Europe and expects to do mission
ary work on her visit.
"I hope Lady Astor and Mrs.
Pankhurst and Hllen Key and many
other leaders will come here for a
conference In Washington," said Mrs.
Helmont. "We want to spfend this

Rah" Days Gone
Col. J. W. Gnlbralth Jr. of Cin
cinnati, the new national commander
of the American Legion (portrait here
with) Is traveling about the country,
visiting the posts and getting acquaint
ed. To be sure, he is pretty well
known already to service men. He
recerved the necessary majority at the
Cleveland convention on the second
ballot, his closest exponents being
Hanford MeNldor of Iowa and J. F.
.1. Herbert of Massachusetts. Upon
motion of MeNider, seconded by Her
bert, the election of Galhraith then
was declnred unanimous.
The new national commander wns
born In Watertown Arsenal, Muss., on
May G, 1871. He was commissioned
major in the first Infnntry, Ohio Na
tional Guard, In 1010 and the same
year was promoted to colonel. He

Poetic Justice
NOW is the season when merchants
find It good business to turn
whatever ready-to-wear garments they
hnve on hand Into cash, rather than
to carry them over to another season.
The woman or girl who Is not yet pro
vided with a coat can buy now to ad
vantage, for in conts, and even In hats,
there are good, stnndnrd styles that
vary only a little from year to yeur
and mny he relied upon to give at least
three seasons' service. When they hnve
done good service for tills length of
time tht'y are still promising material
for mnklng over Into children's wraps
or even remodeling nnd tnklng another
lease on life for the use of their orig
inal wearers. It pays to buy good
qunllty In cloth, nnd to choose con
servative styles.
Answering all the demands of the
far-sighted buyer, coats of heavy wool

manner nnd on such simple lines as
Inviting Comparison
OCCASIONALLY there is u woman
who can undertake to choose the
superb In her nppnrel. and much more
occasionally there Is one who enn af
ford to he daring. To do these things
requires a personality that Is re-enforced
and expressed by such attire.
Hut these are the exceptional women
tho rare blossoms, greatly admired,
but less loved, than sweet, famlllnr
ones.
Two evening dresses ure shown here,
one of them deservh g to be culled
superb nnd acknowledged to be dar
ing. Helng in black. It carries off Its
eccentricities better than It would In
color. A full draped skirt of supple
punne velvet nnd a draped bodice that
leaves the body uncovered to the wulst
Hue, under the arms, make n founda
tion for uu oversklrt of beuded net.
Above the wulst, n long scurf of ma
lines veils the bnck and arms, an In
sert of mallnes Just above the waist
line saves the day for modesty. In n
bodice which chooses to conceal more
of the back than Its predecessors have.
For ornamentntlon there are largo ro
settes of flitter Jet and they nre In
black, also. From head to foot, this
those shown above may be depended
upon to give satisfactory wear and n
well-dressed look for this and two or
more succeeding winters. They are
long and full, which gives opportunity
to change them n little. Like nearly
all of this year's coats, they are be
coming and look tho part of comfort.
The coat at the left has a pocket so
capacious that It matches up with the
general nmpleness of the garment, and
It Is ornamented with n little cro.s.
bar trimming of brnUl. Its short panel
yoke nt the bnck Is not a transient
style point, nnd Its full inufller collar
of fur appears to have come to stay.
Even simpler than Its companion,
the straight coat at the right of t lie
group depends upon a simulated panel
nt the sides to give It special Interest,
and this Is not going to go unnoticed,
for It Is ndomed with six handsome
nnd lnrge buttons, Joined by cords of
the cloth, that call attention to It,
costume relies upon shimmering blnck,
revealing no color except a virile
green that faces the train. The su
perb feathers In the fun nnd head
dress match tho costume In distinction,
and ono Imagines them In green nlso.
Such a costume makes a foil
against which simpler dresses are
more sweet by comparison.
Georgette and srfver tissue make
the pretty five-tiered frock that pre
sumes to dare comparison with Its
splendid rlvnl. The bodice Is n mere
wide bnnd of sliver tissue, with nar
row straps over the shoulders, veiled
back nnd front with georgette em
placements edged with a little frill.
There Is n girdle of silver tissue with
frills of georgette beneath, nnd fin
ished off with sprays of (lowers and
ends of ribbons. A bit of georgette
drapery Is caught to the band on the
shoulder. Color in this frock Is n
matter of personal choice; It Is pretty
In any light tone.
