PROFESSOR KNOWS
AB0UTWOMEN'S DRFSS
Lays Down a Rule About How
Much Women Should Spend
on Their WardrobeS

The misguided man who said re-
Gently that woman could dress on
s65 year did not know what he was
talking about She might keep cover
ed for that amount, but she never
could dress upon it. Besides, what
earthly business is it of Prof. Atl1in-
sons how much a woman can spend in
dressing, and who cares what he thinks
about IL? Doubtless he pays $65 for
every suit he buys, and if he does so,
that's his business. and / have yet TO
near OF any woman who rushed into
print to tell how much a man ought to
spend a year on his clothes; and yet
every now and then some wise person
rises to explain that a woman who
spends more than 80 cents month on
clothes is given over to the Vanities
of the world. Who is Prof. Atkinson
and what does he do for a hving2 After
reading the list he appears TO have
made out for the guidance of women
In shopping for themselves, I am con-
WINGED that he is not very busy. At all
events he has wasted valuable time in
telling what things ought TO cost, or
how much women should pay for what
they purchase. If the professor is a
bachelor he is likely to remain one. His
wife-if he gets one, which ! doubt
Will be obliged to remain indoors for
lack of proper raiment 10 go out in.
If the professor knows anything at
all about the subject he discusses
which i doubt-he would have known
that one cloth gown of good material
and good make, which would last a
year, would take the entire amount
which he declares 10 be sufficient for
her wardrobe The things land 9TH
ers-would like to say about Atkin-
son cannot be said, because this is a
very nice paper. For the life OF me. 1
cant see why Prof. Atkinson, or any
other professor, should dictate TO woTn-
en- how much a year they should spend
Tor their gowns. Suppose ] should pub
nSh on this page list of what ! think
man should eXpend on his clothes, his
tobacco. billiards and other things, the
man who reads il would think / was
meddling with what did not concern
me and he would laugh IT to scorn.
And that's just the way women feel
toward Prof. Atkinson. Also, let il be
said. it is just as much my business to
say how much man shall put into his
wardrobe, as il is for any man to die
tate to women on the same subject
The professor takes himself too seri-
ousiy. and his dictum has done moth
ing but add to the gayety OF nations
Life is not all beer and sl1ittles to the
majority of women. They have Vari-
Gus kinds of burdens TO bear, worries
of all sorts, and sometimes a woman
gets deal of solace out of good
clothes. Particularly if her husband is
a trial, as husbands have been known
to be. This comfort, which comes from

PREPARE FURTHER
FOR CANAL WORK
Commissioners Decide on the
Creation of Another Engi.
neering Body

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Pan
anna canal commission today had a
long and satisfactory discussion with
Secretary Tart and reached some con-
ctuslon as to the organization of the
Panama railway directory at the meet
Ing next Monday in New York. Chair
man Shonts of the canal commission
VIII be the next president of the Pan
anna railroad company and every mem
Der of the commission will be made a
director of the company. That will
leaVe Tour members of the directorate
TO be named, and they will be civilians.
Another Important conclusion relat-
ed TO the assignment in the duty of the
four engineer officers of the canal COM
mission, who are not members of the
executive committee Of the commission.
namely. Admiral Endicott Col. Ernst.
Gen. Hains and Mr.. Herod II was de-
clded TO make these four men a special
engineering commission quite apart
from the board of consulting engineers.
To this commission will be assigned the
various engineering problems arising
IN the course Of the construction of the
canal. To IL arr. to be submitted all
plans of an engineering character Of
importance and tn these the members
will ask the opinion of the board of
consulting engineers. The consulting
board will report on the projects to the
turn VIII make recommend tons there
on TO the president of the United
States.
Hire CooIie Labor
1t was resolved that contracts should
be made for the employment of 9 600
japanese and 2.08e Chinese coolies in
the canal construction. This is an ex-
perimental move. but if il succeeds the
engineers will have an almost unlim-
lied force of labor TO draw on.
Engineering Commissioner Wallace
stated that il is entirely feasible to
construct either a tide level or lock
canal across the isthmus. though he
himself strongly faYors the tide level
project.
II WAS decided that all of the ad-
ministrative work. which heretofore
has been done directly under the su-
pervision of the commission in its own
Offices. should be placed in charge of
Col. Clarence Edwards. the present
head OF the bureau of insular affairs
and the offices themselves proba bly, will
be removed to the Mills building Col
Edwards will not relinquish his duties
as chief of the insular bureau, but is
charged with q double function. Leon
Pepperman, who has served as an as
sistant to Col. Edwards for several
years. probably will be assigned ex-
clusively the charge of Panama mat
ters. and Col Niche. just appointed as
an assistant To Col. Edwards. will de-
vote himself exclusively to the Philip
pine group of the insular bureau, while
Col. Edwards retains general super
vision of both branches. The railway
will probably be double tracked and
supplied with an entirely new and
modern equipment of rolling traffic.

MAKE SAN JUAN HARBOR
A NAVAL RENDEZVOUS
Congressman Bede Says the VISITING
Statesmen Favor This Proposition

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE govern
ment transport Sumner arrived in port
today from Porto Rico and West Indian
ports. OF the fifteen members of the
river and harbor congressional COM
mittee, only one. J. Adam Rede of Min
nesota. returned to New York TODAY
Congressman Bede said:
The committee is in favor of widen-
ing and deepening the harbor of San
Juan and making it a rendezvous for
war vessels. At the present time only
two or three can be accommodated AT
tine. All the harbor needs is a IittIa
C-tedging. The committee viii recon-
mend to congress that it be improved
so as to accommodate the whole of the
south Atlantic fleet. 1t is not the idea
Of the committee to make San Juan a
naval base, but we ought to have If big
enough for a rendezvous, or for
maneuvers, and so that our ships can
run in in case of any of those sudden
hurricanes down there. We visited the
harbor of Ponce also and recommended
thai il be improved and widened All
the members of the committee are
unanimous in the opinion that fhs. work
ought TO be done right away"

No Honor in Feuds.

This feud is typical. To the outsider
kentucky blood feud has always been
ineomprehensible. 1t has none of the
elements of chivalry about it such as
the duels on the field of honor of fiftv
years and more ago or even OF the
rough and ready duel of the West For
the duel called for a fair fight in which
each of the combatants was supposed to
have an equal chance TO defend his life
But In the blood feud there Is no oues-
ton of fighting fair. Men who are
naturally brave and who should have
honorable instincts have knelt behind
bcwlder and bush and shot down in cold
blood unarmed enemies
The Kentucky feudist is apparently
actuated by an unquenchable hatred, a
thirst for revenge that only the life
blood OF his enemy can appease. The
Corsican vendetta is the blood feuds
Only parallel. 1t is said that the people
OF the Kentucky mountains are os
Scotch and Irish descent. They have at
al events the extreme clanishness which
has always characterized the highland
ers Of Scotland. This may account for
the manner in which every member OF
q family takes 20 heart the slightest
injury TO one of its members. But the
cold-blooded, murderous spirit which the
feudists possess must be due TO the in
huence Of their hard lives In the fast
nesses Of the mountains

Is Poor Cooking Responsible?

When a missionary went into the
mountains of Breathitt county several
years ago he found that the mountain
eers knew as much about the Bible as
he did himself and could quote it ac-
curately and aptly. The truth OF the
matter was that he Bible was the
only literature they had. But he found
that as people they were ignorant Of
the little things that tend TO c1viliza-
tion such as the proper method of cook
ipg food TO make edible. So he began
to teach the women to cook and to
keep their houses In better order, and
to make their husbands and sons more
comfortable at home. Soon he noticed
g change In the community. There was
less fighting and better spirit pervad-
ed the countryside. He continued this
work of instruction in other places, and
in each instance found that 1t worked
a change for the better IL every case
Judging from these results it may be
that the bloodiest feuds have arisen
merely because the women of the Ken
lucky mountains did not know how to
cook

tence for the Illegal use of the United
States mails for a scheme to defraud.
His offense was the promotion of the
old green goods swindle, Woodward lay
ing claim to being the originator of the
most alluring features OF this game
Woodward was 81 partner at one time
of Bunco Reed, who made a sensational
escape from the custody of a State
prison guard at Worcester several years
ago. They operat>d card swindling to-

In his time Woodward has trieG about
every form Of ingenious swindle When
he was arrested early in 1902 in Boston
he was engaged in the largest green
goods scheme ever laid out. He estab-
lished headquarters In Boston, and sent
his circulars throughout the central and
Far West advising the people Of his
ability to furnish counterfeit money
printed from plates obtained from the
United States Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing. A seductive fac-simile Of an
alleged newspaper clipping describing
the loss Of the plates, and the great
possibilities of turning out real money

ated under some twenty names, and
had his mail directed to postofices in
some seventyfive places east OF the

were forwarded to several successive
addresses, and finally reached one of
the substations Of the Boston district.
