Washington. Dee. 16.-The 18th annual
report Of the interstate commerce COM
mission issued to-day Is a lengthy docu-
ment. which touches the work OF the
commission during the past year, and
includes several suggestions. Speaking
of the powers of the commission, the re-
port says that a suit to recover excess
over reasonable rates Is not an ade-
quate or equitable remedy, and con-
tinues:
Prevention by fixing and establish
ing rates in advance is the only prac-
teal legal remedy for extortianate and
unjust charges and the law should be
made 50 plain that neither the commits
sion nor the courts can misconstrue or
misinterpret its meaning"
The report discusses The supreme
court decision denying power IN the
commission 10 prescribe maximum
commission has no real power as 10
fixing rates. The right Of the commits
sion To prescribe rates in the future is
urged
The long and short haul act and tile
supreme court decision thereon are dis
cnssed and tho statement is made that
unless the country is satisfied to un-
dergo 4 recurrence of the evils existing
apropos the passing Of that act II must
in some form or other be re-enacted

cHicNoNs STYLISH AGAIN.
Return OF tho Hairdressing Mode of
Empress Eugenie.

Empress Eugenie.
Hairdressers have revived the CHG
non which was SO popular when EN-
press Eugene ruled the world of fash
ion. IL isn't the same ehignon. though.
that is coming into style as was worn
in Eugenie's day. That was a mass of
hair Worn at the back of the head In a
net The new style is a coil. a wave.
4 Greeian knot. Eugenies chignon was
worn III a black net with beads, a re
sille, which the poor poets made
rhyme with seville" and other words
of her native Spain The net of the
ehignon now is invisible. In the time of
Napoleon |. Hat was the hair dress of
women. As long as Eugene reigned
sovereign, sovereign even over her ia
talist husband. Napoleon H.. the CHG
non was n tyrant, but when he surren-
dered az Sedan and she fled from Paris
in the cab of the American dentist,
Evans, suddenly, off went the ehignon.
1t vanished like an apparition.
With the ehignon il is an epoch like
tfiat returning. The hairdressers do not
admit It. They dissemble. One of the
leaders among them said: "Oh, it isn't
the same chignon. The net now is In
visible. The roll Is not plain; it is not
formed of simple mass. 1t is crimp-
ed or curled or in waves or in n grace
fnl knot similar to the knots that
Burne-Jones puts on the heads Of prin
eesses. 1t requires quantities of hair.
Ct course. But women have "A great
deal more hair than they think they
have. If they doubt, let them come to
the hairdressers. 1t isn't the same
chignon that gave to a woman of 20
the air of a woman of 80, The new
chignon accentuates a woman's youth.
1t is quite different"
The introduction of this new style
will make fortunes for the artificial
hairmakers. For women to-day have
not as distinguishing characteristic
wealth of hair. The custom OF comb
ing il upward. from the nape of the
neck. in order to show the roots of it,
has made that wealth unnecessary.
