THE NEW IDEA WOMAN'S
MAGAZINE.
August Number
THE
The Passing Of The Blouse.

Noting the wayward tendencies of
Fashion in the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for August, Charlotte Mill
ward says: "While the name of
blouse has been retained as a con-
venient term to designate a bodice
or shirt-waist not having a skirt of
like material, the garment itself is no
longer as loosely fitted as formerly.
The exaggerated pouch is discarded
feature, and a strong tendency is as
serting itself toward the draped or
dart-fitted bodice. Last year the
separate blouse was a blouse, properly
speaking, and the dart--fitted effects
were reserved for costumes. But
Dame Fashion is a tickle jade, and
among the smartest blouse models
are numbered several of these new
designs. A novelty is certain to have
something of vogue, and as the
closely fitted bodice is dressier than
one OF the loose order, the advancing
season is likely to find this style the
fad for theater or restaurant waer.
But just as surely fad they are GER
tain to remain, in spite Of the threat
ened invasion of the high-busted cor
set. Whether this last fact has any
thing to do with it or not, the Louis
and Directoire coatee bodices are
greatly admired, and the combination
of wide revers, flare cuffs and jaunty
little peplums achieve some charming
results. Particularly when made Of
a brilliantly flowered brocade or taffe-
tas, and worn with lace or plain
colored silk skirt, the coates give that
old-picture look so sought after by
Our devotees of fashion. In fact, quite
a number are exact copies of the bod
ices depicted in the portraits Of the
periods mentioned"

Chief Justice Pope stated that there
were at least two constitutional ques-

tons of fact upon which there should
be some testimony and he sug-
gested to the attorneys that he might
hold after hearing their arguments
that it would be necessary to have
some testimony, and therefore the at

argument by agreeing to submit the
matter to a referee to take testimony.
The weather was very hot to make
arguments and to listen to them.
Mr.. Carey stated that his side was
ready to go on with the hearing and
was willing to admit practically every
thing that was charged in the reply
and to show that even if what is
charged is true that it came too late.
Mr.. Justice Pope thought, however,
that there were matters or facts IN dis
pute and which were not admitted
and upon which it was necessary to
take some testimony.
Mr.. Carey said that he was prepar-

WILLIAMS TO PROSECUTE
OFFICIAL ACCEPTS THEATER
MANS CHALLENGE TO BRING
i TEST CASE UNDER CHILD-LA-
Dor LAW.

Labor Commissioner w. H. Williams
is preparing to accept the challenge Of
Manager Frank Maple Of the Unique
theater and will bring suit to stop the
appearance Of little Irene Little, who
is billed to sing illustrated songs this
week. The action is largely in the ma
ture of a test case. Former commits
sioners, it is claimed, have avoided the
point at issue except in unusually fla
grant violations and where the special
ty performed by the child was espe-
cially hazardous. Whatever ruling is
secured will also be applied to the ap-
pearance OF amateurs on certain eve
nings when the entire show is produced
by local talent.
A special Inspector has been detailed
to investigate child labor not only in
show houses but also in all branches
OF labor where children are employed.
1t has been announced that the small
usher and water boy must go, as the
hours arc too late. The law expressly
states that 6 pm. is the time limit.
The matter Of the appearance Of anna
teurs on amateur night at the theater
is fine point and ruling will be
asked On it ALSO The children appear
to enjoy it and are permitted to do
their stunts only after the consent Of
the parents has been secured. Com
plants are made every week to the
labor commissioner, who is requested
to prohibit the practice. The children
| receive no remuneration, and as rule,
appear but once a season.

FIGHTS FOR REDUCTION
PACKING-HOUSE AGENT GETS
CONCESSION FROM BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION OVER ASSES
SOR'S PROTEST.

In spite of the protests of City AS
SCISSOR G. J. Minor, the city board Of
equalization today reduced the assess
ment of Jacob E. Decker & Sons of
Mason City, Iowa, who have an agency
in this city. The agent had made a
return Of about $500 and the valuation
had been raised to 81 ,665.
The agent objected strenuously to
this increase and this morning appeared
before the board, making the most de-
termined fight ever seen before that
body. He insisted to begin with that
two horses and two delivery wagons
were not worth more than $165, altho
admitting that both horses were alive
in making the deliveries Of pork,
which is the principal business of the
firm The local business Of this house
would average about $500 a week.
''Look at this from a business
standpoint for a moment said Mr..
Minor "Your firm disposes of more
than $4,000 worth Of pork in this city
in a year. Minneapolis furnishes you
with a splendid market in which you
can build up a big trade, furnishes
paved streets and other facilities for
conducting your business to the best
advantage, supplies fire and police pro-
lection. Do you actually believe that
you are being outrageously treated
when you are asked to pay about $43 a
year for these privileges9'
The agent was not squelched little
bit, but argued more fercely than
ever that the figures Of the assessor
were too high. The valuation was re-
duced to $l,400, apparently because
the man made such vigorous kick
A. O.. Cornwell of Emerson avenue
S wanted his valuation reduced from
$4,000 to $1,000: In his list his office

merce was figured at $50, his house

at $675. The matter was taken under
advisement.

MOVE TO ABOLISH
The WARD SYSTEM.
REFoRMERs WANT STREET WORK
UNDER ONE ENGINEER.
Present Plan Of Thirteen Street Com
nlissioners and Aldermanic Control
Of Ward Work Is Declared to Be
Wasteful and Pernicious - Legal
Authority Says Change May Be
Made.

An attempt will be made to abolish
the present system of street work by
ward street commissioners and to sub
stitute rational and economical
method of caring for the city s streets.
Thirteen street commissioners spend
over 100000 year in grading, main
tanning and sprinkEng streets and
they spend the money almost any way
they want to. There may be four or
five who have secured and held their
places thru merit, but the others are
given the places as a reward for polit-
ical services and without regard for
work, in the majority Of instances,
these men know less about road-build-
ing and road-maintenance than the
aldermen themselves and between the
three the money brings small return.
There have been frequent scandals
over ward funds, which, it is claimed
have been partially used to defray
campaign expenses of aldermen. The
temptation is great and the risk OF
such misuse is slight, as the accounts
are wholly in the hands of the alder
men and their faithful henchman, the
street commissioner, who often Is the
political boss Of the ward. The scan
dals in the sprinkling work have beer
continuous for the past two decades
and the evil that has grown up is wei
known.
Even if all the aldermen and all the
street commissioners were thoro bust
ness men and capable engineers it il
argued that the present system is
bound to be expensive and Ineffective
In the first place there is a lack Of
system and uniformity in the present
method of road work which is not cal
culated to attain the best results. II
the second place the thirteen stree
commissioners are unnecessary whe1
one can do the work. It is argued BY
opponents of the present system tina
there is as much sense in having thir
teen street commissioners as in having
thirteen sewer engineers, thirteel
health commissioners or thirteen ga
inspectors. The advocates of reform
will soon make themselves heard il
the council
It has been claimed that the council
has no authority to make the change
but G. A. Will, leading member O
the Minnesota and Hennepin Count,
Good Roads association, says that lega
advice has been obtained and assu1
ance given that the council has tn
right to abolish the ward street com
missioners and to place the matter 0
caring for the streets in the hands o
the city engineer. The money Min
neapolis spends for streets, in the opin
ion Of the good roads people, ought t
give the city a much better class o
