The popular notion that piercing the
ear exercises a beneficial influence
upon the optic nerves is widespread.
An English traveller Of little more than
a century ago noticed that many men
in Vienna wore earrings and was told
they We're worn a good deal for the
eyes-"the hole in the ear and the

places ear piercing is regarded by the
rustics as a remedy for many troubles
AT the other side of the world boys
have their ears pierced from different

EAR RINGS IN MOSES TIME.
Legend as to How This Custom of
Adornment Began.
(ChfcagO ChronicIe. )

The Mohammedans have a curious
legend to account for the beginning of
the custom of wearing earrings. They
say that Sarah, being jealous of Hagar,
vowed that she would not rest until
she had 1mbrued her hands in the blood
OF her bondmaid. Abraham quickly
pierced Hagar's ear and quickly drew
a ring through it, so that Sarah was
able to fulfill her rash vow without
danger 10 the bondmaid's life
From that time, they say, it became
customary for women to wear earrings
The story of Rebekah's earrings is only
one of many early Biblical illusions to
the ornaments. When Aaron made the

ARBITRATION
PLAN ADOPTED
NEW YORK BUILDING TRADES
COME TO TERMS
STRIKES TO BE PROHIBITED
Ten Thousand Employers and More
Than Elghty-Five Thousand Me.
ehanIes Represented at the
Convention
BY Annotated Presn.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 22.-The Joint
arbitration plan between the building
trades employers association and the
unions of the building trades Of the
city of New York was adopted at
convention held here today by twenty
eight of the unions. by the representa-
tives of the four remaining unions as
individuals and by thirty one of the
organizations of the building trades
employers association. The four unions
that have yet to adopt the arbitration
plan are the stonecutters. cement
makers, bricklayers and tilelayers.
There were 10000 employers and more
than $4,000 mechanics represented at
the convention. The plan as now
adopted absolutely prohibits strikes or
lockouts, provides for the appointment
of general arbitration board. an exc
cutive commission, special and trade
arbitration board, and the settlement
Of disputes by conciliation.
The employers promise to employ
only members of the trade unions and
it is agreed that when the conditions
established by the arbitration plan are
not maintained in shop or on a job
by employers or employees, not parties
to the plan, the plan shall not apply in
the particular shop or on the particu-
lar Job for the time being.
Business agents of the unions are
permitted to enter all shops, buildings
and structures. The plan provides
that arbitrators from the unions shall
not be business agents, and that no
lawyer is to act as arbitrator, counsel
or advisor.
With the general adoption of this
plan the prolonged lockout against the
carpenters and other unions will
cease.

Will hoopskirts be on exhibition to-

Will hoopskirts be on exhibition to-
day?
This is a question over which there
has been much speculation during the
past few days, and society leaders,
dressmakers and women generally
have been expressing their opinions on
the subject.
Whether the old-fashioned hoopskirt
appears only the day can tell. but
dressmakers have made some confess
ions which would lead one to think
that a very near relation at least of
that old garment is about to introduce
itself.
Have you sent out any hoopskirts
with your Easter costumes?" was
asked of leading modiste last night.
"Well, no-that Is, not exactly hoop
skirts" she answered. I'VE would not
like to call them that, because it Is
really not the same thing. You see
the hoopskirts have yards and yards
of spring steel coiled around In them.
Some are made of circles of whalebone,
and they taper from narrow waist
to a wide bottom. We have not as yet
had anything like these, though we are
making skirts with yards and yards of
reeds in them. They are run in the
bottom part of the skirt, usually at
the head of the ruffies, not on the edge
for that would spoil the soft effect you
know"
One of the members of Madam Potts
esta blishment said that corded ruffles
are the principal method used by that
house at the present time. but admitted
that she would not dare to predict
what the future might bring forth.
"You see, we are sometimes a little
behind out here when 1t comes to ex-
treme styles, and the women are in
clined to be a little conservative in
the sleeves again. and there are those
who predicted that this fashion would
never be revived. l hope that western
women are a little bit too sensible to
go back TO the extreme styles. but IL
they will have the new old-fashioned
gown. ] suppose some will insist on
having skirt to extend it,"
In Paris the skirt is being worn, but
the majority of the women here say
that Americans have outgrown fash
ion such as this, and yet the people of
New York and Chicago are also Ameri-
cans. and news from those cities shows
that many have adopted the garment
of Civil War days.
A little more care in walking and a
