OBSERVANCE Of LENT 1
WILE AID CONSERVATION
"Lent has come for the 20,000,000
Catholics who dwell under the shadow
of the Stars and Stripes,” said the
Right Rev. Crimont, bishop of the
Catholic church In Alaska. “It is a
welcome guest; that is to stay with
them until Holy Saturday, this year
March 30.
"Lent will play its part in helping
our country to win the war, as far as
Catholics are concerned. The issue
of this great war is to be decided
not only on the battlefields of Europe
or on the seas, but in the American
homes. Lent, if conscientiously ob
served by Catholics, will contribute a
very telling asset to the war resources
of our country through the conserva
tion of food.”
Lenten regulations given out by |
Bishop Crimont this year differ little |
from those of previous years, except |
that the eating of fish and meat at |
the same meal is not this time inter- |
dieted. Men in the army and navy g
are not expected to observe all the =
fasts, as are those who a-e under 1
rr
less rigorous physical strain.
KIICM Elfflilffl S

(By Associated Press) 1
LAREDO, Texas, Feb. 23— Efforts j
of General Luis Cabellero to induce §
General Manuel Pelaez, whose forces j
control the Tampico oil regions, to 1
submit to the federal government, |
have met with emphatic refusal, ac- |
cording to private advices received |
here from the affected district. Cab- |
allero is said to have failed ill his at- j
tempt to persuade the oil producers |
to buy off Pelaes. If the government |
persists in its attempt to carry out the |
announced program of securing com- [
plete control of the oil fields, Cabal- g
lero’s threat to invade the region may j
become his only recourse. Cabellero |
is reported to be receiving a few men |
and considerable supplies by sea from j
Vera Cruz and other Gulf ports. |

» The tonic of the cold la to be thapk
► ed for much of our progress. North
» erners, obliged to stand It for months,
► get the habit of Industry and resource
► fulness; they have learned how to
► clothe themselves, to defy the weather
► and even to enjoy It. Inasmuch as
^ there are not enough furs on the mar
; ket to put fur garments In the reach of
everyone, and because the manufac
ture of fur clothing Involves much
time and work, which mean expense—
the looms have been called upon to
weave substitutes which provide as
much warmth as the pelts of animals.
Of course wool is our greut depend
ence In putting up defenses against
the blasts of winter.
The supreme achievements agnlnst
the cold are voluminous coats of fur,
or of cloth lined with fur. Next to
these are fur fabrics and cloth woven
to Insure warmth. Coats made of
these and trimmed with big collars
and generous cuffs of fur make their
wearers rejoice in winter and the vigor
that is its gift. It Is a tonic only bit
ter to those who do not know how tc
keep comfortable, or have not the
means to.
Illustrated above Is a coat for th«
heart of winter. It might be devel
„ oped In many of the flut furs and trim
med with marten, but as pictured It
Is made of handsome seal plush. Its
enveloping shawl collar broadens Into
a cape over the shoulders and back,
and It has huge marten cuffs that may
well answer the purpose of a muff.
The wide band of marten about the
bottom of the coat adds to its luxuri
ous looks, more than to Its uctual
warmth, serving a good purpose In
both these directions. For one of the
duties of the comfortable midwinter
coat Is to look Its part.
This ample, straight hanging, con
servative design is to be recommended
for the midwinter coat, whether of fur
or of wool fabric. When the active
northern woman dons a coat of this
kind, she gets Into it and expects to
stay In It for three or four months, or
until the siege of winter is raised.
Such a coat is suitable for street, mo
tor and other wear, and It is designed
on lines of proved merit. Its service
able qualities are expected to outlast
several winters, and its business Is to
be warm and convenient. This it ac
complishes along with a style that does
not point to other days.
