Dr. Frcnkel argues that rest only In

Shall Women Wear Socks {?

Shall women wear socks This is
the question that is agitatinG this
country and the countries beyond the
seas, The fashion is saidt have origi-
mated in New York, and it is pronounce
ed fad English fashion leaders pooh
pooh it, and declare that it can never
obtain foothold ON that side of the
rough pond, but English fashion lead
ers do not always lead the fashions
There is power greater than they
that rules.
Short skirts and socks of bright col
ors are undoubtedly attractive. No
matter how much a man may be "to
dumb forgetfulness prey" when he
sees this combination, he is sure to
cast at least lone longing, lingering
look behind" and maybe a dozen Of
them. Without the short skirt the
sock is delusion and a snare; it is
like unto the poets flower that is "born
to blush unseen and waste its sweet
ness on the desert air." Unless it is
seen it might just as we'll not exist.
The eye of man gives it value. It's
chief magnetic power lies not in its
limitations, but in what it reveals. The
stocking with the clocking on 1t is not
so bad, but it can not compare with the
glimpse of "nesh- -colored" one catches
now and then.
The sock is the more sensible and
sanitary. In cold weather it may be
well enough to have the limbs covered,
but there is no article of dress more in
furious than the garter, the indispensa-
bile concomitant of the long stocking.
1t interferes with the free circulation
of the blood, and it makes for evil.
The French king who picked one OF
these circlets up and wore it around
his neck should have set the fashion.
Carriers are not injurious when worn
around the neck, but when they com.
press the limbs the case is different.
Not only should the sock come into
general favor, but return to the sock
less sandal of ancient times would be
found beneficial. There is too much
swathing and binding of the body, and
the more liberty is given it and the
more in contact with the air it is
brought the better. Commercial APP.

for his domestic establishment. He
fed it with records OF "Under the
Bamboo Tree" and "Won't You Come

charming. He wanted more.
His servant was dispatched to a local
store to purchase other musical records
but stopped en- route, where goods
were being sold at auction, and came
upon a job lot of The records, which he
purchased at bargain.
That evening the senator, after his
dinner, tested the new records. The
first one was announced by the graphic
phone. Antitrust Speech by New

comes secretary of war next January in
succession to Elihu Root. President
Roosevelt today authorized the asso.

velt spoke in terms of high praise of
General Wright's ability and fitness
for the position of governor general.
He entertains sincere regard for him
both personally and officially. Both
the President and Secretary Root re-
gard General Wright as man of proved
executsve ability, his services as q
member of the Philippine commission
having been of distinguished chrrac-
ter. During Gov. Tafts sojourn in
this country Gen. Wright was acting
governor general and his conduct Of
the Office was source OF pleasure tC

General Wright is popular not only
with Americans in the Philippines bu

Carnegie Steel.

The Herald publishes summary of
James Howard Bridges History of
the Carnegie Steel Company" which
has been distributed among Wall street
bankers. The book publishers in de-
tail the history of the quarrel between
Mr.. Carnegie, Henry Phipps, and H.
G. Frick. Judge Moore had almost
completed the purchase of the Carne-
gie-Frick properties when the Flower
panic stopped the deal.
At the time of the negotiations with
Judge Moore, Mr.. Carnegie wanted
81, 900, 900 for ninety days option on
his interest at price of $l57, $50, 900
and he afterwards raised the price to
81, 17O, foo. II the sale had been con-
summated at this time it would have
been on the basis of $3.50, 600, 900 for
the entire property except the compa-
ny's holdings OF the Frick Coke Co.
and allied interests.
When the Carnegie Company was
sold to U. s. Steel, if all stockholders
had been treated alike, the price re-
ceived would have been 1926, 267, ,O4O in
securities of U. S. Steel, which at the
market price would have totalled $447,
416, $40, or nearly double the price al
which Judge Moore obtained an option
on the property.
An extract from letter of Mr..
Schwab, dated may 10, 1899, shows that
the company could make rails for less
than $12 per ton and sell them abroad
at profit for SIG. The price of stee
rails here at the time was $2S.12 pei
ton, with some contracts running be
low $50. Mr.. Schwab prophesied OF
the basis of this fact that the Carnegie
SteelCompany would control the stee
business of the world.
