preparing to address Congress and to
show that war actually has existed for
some time. Congress probably will
appropriate about half a billion dollars
for national defense and authorize the
President to use the armed forces of
the United States against Germany.
Technically, this would amount to a
declaration of war, but whether the
United States shall enter the war In
Its full sense will depend on tlio ex

To Delay Party Fight
In Congressional circles to-dav the i
suggestion was heard that tho light for j
organization of the House be deferred |
pending action by Congress on the In- I
ternational crisis. The Senate alreadv
has organized and will be ready for
| business upon assembling.
Steps to put the country in a state
I of preparedness went forward rapidly
to-day. Most activity was in the navy
where big preparations are being
made to meet the submarine menace.
Because of the uncertainty as to what
part the army may take, plans for that

Every Plant in Country
Building Airplanes For
t American Army and Navy
, By Associated Press
\\ashlngton, March 22. Airplane
manufacturers In conference with war,
navy and post office department repre
sentatives to-day, proposed that the
government choose not more than five
models of airplanes for various pur
poses anil that builders concentrate
their efforts on these as a means ofj
standardization and hastening the out
put. Nearly thirty different models
are produced now. The makers sug
gested that two kinds of light, speedy j
planes for army and navy reconnais
sance work, a heavy armored battle
flyer, a cargo carrying machine for
mail transportation and a lighter ma
chine for commercial purposes should
be sufficient types for all present
needs.
Assurances were given the govern
ment representatives that the entire
output of the twelve American plants
making airplanes Is already going to
fill war and navy department orders,
and that no machines are being ex
ported.

One does not mind paying large

expensive model and the Walk-Over
Boot Shop, 226 Market street, offers a
boot of rare distinction in color and
design which is built of such excellent
materials and so perfectly finished ■
that its wearing qualities can be abso
lutely guaranteed. It Is of tbe new
dark shade of tan kidskin. with high
Louis heel and a sole suitable for
walking. It is tho "Hihuilt" pattern,
with such grace in its lines that it is I
correct for wear with the smartest of j
suits or frocks, and its price is 110.00.
Curtains for the Home
Suitable curtains do more to make a
house homelike than any other part of
the furnishings, and the charming as-1
sortnient of fabrics shown at'the Blake '
Shop, 225 North Second street, leaves
nothing to be desired. There are the
lovely madras fabrics with their pretty
silken finish, soft, fine grenadines al
most as lacy and delicate as cobweb
weaves, the sunfast fabrics in all tho |
soft, restful shades, wonderful ere-.
tonnes and figured linens so beautiful
that they look like treasured pieces of
tapestry, and though the most exclu

well as curtains by the pair, are shown
at this shop, there are many at prices
as low or lower than elsewhere.

The Scarcity of Gray Suits
This is just a little story about
trip to New York —a very sudden, very
hurried trip—taken in spite of tho
prospect of a railroad strike, by tho
I buyer of tho suit department at As
i trich's. It was all because gray suits
were the most desirable and tho
scarcest of spring attire for smart
women. Everybody wants gray suits,
and nobody seems to be able to get
them, and that's why the trip was
| taken. That it was very successful is
• easily seen by the assortment of
charming new models in gray which
have just arrived at Astrich's, Fourth
and Market streets. Of course, they
won't last long. They are much too
attractive to hang on the racks, but
they seem to be just waiting for soma
! pretty owner.
Delicious Corn
Are you hungry for fresh corn oit
the ear? It is a long time until July,
but you need not wait until then to get
a taste of corn with fresh, delicious
flavor and creamy sweetness, and
though this corn is in cans and not on
the ear, its flavor and taste are unsur
passed. It is grown tn Maine, tho
state which produces the best corn In
the country, and a special factory has
been erected there to can the corn
while it is at its freshest and ripest
point. It is offered by the Studebaker
Grocery Store (Mr. George Barnes),
Second street at the crossing of State,
packed in smoothly lacquered cans aa
clean and as sanitary as glass jars.
