It also provides that regular sessions of congress shall convene the first Monday in January each year. Adoption of tills amendment would abolish the present short session of congress, convening the first Monday In December of election years, when the old congress sits for three months after the new congress has been chosen. It would also convene the new congress two months after election Instead of thirteen months after as at present.

The Norrls bill provides that the change becomes effective on October 15, following Its ratification by three-fourtof the states. Should 38 states ratify It before October 15, 1925, It would prevent a "lame duck" short term following the congressional election of 1020. It would not affect the presidential tenure until the beginning of the term in 1929. This amendment had a peculiar origin. It goes back to the time when the sliip subsidy bill was being considered in the senate. Several senators In favor of the bill had been defeated election. In the previous November nevertheless, constitutionally They, were still holding their seats and voting. In those circumstances a petition was received from a group of Western farmers asking the senate to forbid Its "lame duck" members to vote on the ship subsidy bill. pas-saf- e.

This was revealed the other day, following the recall of MaJ. Wallace W.

General After yeara of acarcely perceptible rhanget last season brought about a radical modification In the outline of dress. The two parallel lines which silhouette constitute the feminine broadened slightly toward the bottom to form the shaped skirt. The same contour characterizes the spring mode, even slimmer than before and distinctly ahorter, and It Is only In the details of the costume that any appreciable departure from the previous season can be noted, asserts a Paris fashion writer In the New York Tribune. The Paton models are an exemplification of the artistry of the designer, diversifying the unchanged Une with an adept of flounce, plult and manipulation panel. Skirts have been decidedly shoraverage length varies from ten to twelve Indies above the ground. In combination with the simple line of the skirt these short lengths endow the wearer with the appearance of a girl at least when viewed from the back. In the Patou spring collection are three basic keynotes. First, there Is the shaped flounce, which preserves Its preponderant role In the formal tenedtheir Blxteen-year-oI"- d evening gown It becomes more complicated, It tapers. It undulates but It remains the outstanding feature of this type of dress. Plaits In Limelight. Second, and of greatest Importance, are plaits. The plaited dress In all Its forms Is a distinct manifestation of the reason and finds varied expression In the tailor-madcostume, the summer frock and In dresses for the seaside and spa. Patou has placed marked emphasis upon novel plaitlngs and they are used in numberless ways on frocks, cloaks and Jackets, even for linings. The amalgamation of the plaited form with the shaped form will In ail probability lead to a return to the fashions of the 1887-'0- 0 period. But "les elegantes" may be reassured ; they will not be transformed Into modern, de Maupassant heroines, for the return to tho '80s will be highly modernized. The shaped flounce will diminish In size, but In order to give It volume It will be plaited. On long, simple tunics It amplifies the lower part of the silhouette a forecast of the fashions of tomorrow. The third fundamental characteristic of the Patou showing Is the ensemble a combination of Ingenious outlines with harmonizing or soft blend ing colors. It Is an Inseparable whole, the final theme of innumerable variations, and Is particularly noteworthy In sports frocks, afternoon gowns and evening robes, most of which are com bined with a cloak Intended to be worn as an Integral part of the costume. The ensembles du solr chez Patou are very lovely. The long evening or wraps are richly embroidered trimmed with costly furs ruch as sable and chinchilla and the dresses are e Gorgas, His Widow and Yellow Fever MARIE DOUGHTY has accomplished what late husband. Gen. William Crawford Gorgas, was always too busy to do. After three years' of practical seclusion she has completed, in collaboration with Burton J. Hendrick, the biography of her husband and his battle with yellow fever Important chapters of which are appearing in World's Work. The book will soon be published. While General Gorgas lived, publishers were constantly urging him to write his biography. Work, not words, however, absorbed him. Aside from his technical papers for medical Journals and his Journal on yellow fever which he kept for the Rockefeller Foundation the last six years of his life, he wrote nothing with the exception of his book, "Sanitation in MRS.
