The Tailored Shirt
 waist is Back

" HE tailored shirtwaist has come back as it
 promised, but nobody ever dreamed before
 how much variety could be got into not only the tailored shirtwaist, but into those which pass for plain shirtwaists.
 There is one stunning shirt as plain as pipe stem, which has a rounded, shallow yoke stretching clear across the shouders-amost onto the sleeves. Yoke and body of the shirt are joined by narrow beading of embroidery, and.-there you are.
 Another shirtwaist has fine tucks run across the front, the whole thing given character by two rather large tucks which finish out the shoulders on each side.
 Plenty of shirtwaists made of the sheerest linen, are absolutely plain, except for the utterly feminine little frill hemstitched or quite simply hemmed or perhaps scalloped, which runs down the front. Sometimes two of them are set, each side of the narrow box pleat down the front
 Sheer stuffs are used for the majority of shirt waists, for those in style, but those of heavier linen good, too especially for shirt and skirt that match.

CRUMPACKER's VICTORY.

One of the most satisfactory features
of the recent election, as viewed by re
publicans, was the vote given Judge
Crumpacker. republican candidate for
reelection to the house of representa-
tives. The Tenth district candidate
was made a special target President
Gompers of the American Federation of
Labor was brought to Lafayette in OPP
position to him. Mr.. Gompers advised
organized labor to vote against the
districts representative. Coincident
with the fact that Kirby Risk is a
member of the state committee is the
fact that Mr.. Gompers made no other
speech in the state, and that he closed
his appeal here with a declaration in
favor of Judge Darroch, the democratic
candidate. George Ripping Durgan
thrilled the people nightly, telling them
what a wicked man Crumpacker was.
Despite the appeal of Gompers and the
eloquence of Durgan Judge Crum-
packer did very well, thank you. The
republican candidate for secretary OF
state carried Tippecanoe county by
1,1S9. Representative Crumpacker' 5
plurality was S94. This would indi-
cate that all forces and causes resulted
in Judge Crumpacker's plurality being
reduced by 295. That is a good show
ing in face Of the fight that was made
1t must be remembered that the vote
this year was light, the vote of no
candidate measuring up to the vote OF
two years ago. We should also re
member that Judge Crumpacker's name
appeared on the county ballot, which
was the ticket scratched. In other
words, Judge Crumpacker was on the
firing line. Aside from those who
scratched his name he suffered because
some failed to indicate a choice fol-
representative. He also lost not a few
by ballots being thrown out. The vote
given Judge Crumpacker cannot be ac-
copied in any other light than a vote

WITH THE EDITORS.
MAN As A COFFEE MAKER.

A Chicago woman. who has sued
street railroad company for $4,000
damages, on account of injuries re
ceived in an accident, bases her claim
partly on the fact that she was in
capacitated for several months during
which she had to drink coffee made by
her husband. The inference. if not the
direct allegation. was that coffee made
by herself was a solace and a comfort
to her, while that made by her husband
was not only negatively UNIT but posi-
lively bad to the extent Of justifying a
claim for damages. This was not very
complimentary to her husband. but.
leaving the personal question out of
the case. the woman seems to be try
ing to establish a fundamental prin-
ciple namely: that the best coffee made
by a man is worse than the poorest
made by a woman. We say the poorest.
because. as is well known. every wo
man thinks she makes the best coffee in
the world
We have long thought that no man
should marry until he has mastered
the art of plain cooking, including that
Of making good coffee. Without argu-
ing this point in detail it is obvious
that many emergencies may arise re-
curing a husband to assume tempo
rarily the duties of coffee maker for
the family. 1t is also too plain for ar
gument that when a woman is tempo
rariiy disabled and confined TO her
room, or perhaps to her bed she needs
more than ever the solace of a gooc
cup of coffee. But is a man incapaci-
tated by his sex from making good cot
fee? Is the poorest coffee made by g
woman better than the best made by 8
man? In short, is it not a case for the
application of the time honored adage
that The proof Of the pudding is ii
the eating? Without regard 10 the i'm.
putation which the Chicago woman puts
on her husband. which is a persona
and domestic question in which W,
have no right to interfere, we think sh,
goes too far in asking the court virtu
ally to decide that man is incapacitatet
by his sex from making coffee fit for
woman TO drink.-Indianapoiis Star.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Nov 12.-With call loans
ruling at twenty per cent. spectators
and traders as a rule are were very
timid and wary of buying stocks in
this market today. As result of these
factors and the disturbing condition
of the money market generally, stocks
showed very weak undertone and de-
clines of from one to three points We're
the order of the day.
Reading. Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific We're about the weakest stocks
on the list. Reading opened at IA
and steadily declined until it showed
a loss Of almost three points, selling
at 1414 Union Pacific sold off from
1907, the opening price down to 1874
and Southern Pacific also receded a
point from Saturdays final sale.
The selling pressure on the market
seemed to emanate from all quarters
and was not confined to any particular
clique or crowd of brokers. Some OF
the shrewdest traders in the street
were arrayed on the bear side of the
market. They give as their reason for
this pessimis tic position the condition
of the money market and possibilities
of relief by Secrethry Shaw at present
are more or less conjecture.
In the last hour of the session the
market had a small rally which was OF
little consequence, however, and only
emphasized the fact that the market
is not in a healthy condition also thai
any bullish demonstration will be me-
by resistance from the banking ele-
ment and Influential, traders.
The rally gays the market at the
close a rather s1s3~g undertone anC
| it may go little farther tomorrow
barring renewed liquidation on a larger
scale.

the purchase at or after twenty
years. one must earnestly inquire
whether the ordinance, as it stands,
does not aim to give the company a
franchise in perpetuity. Certainly the
wording should be so changed as to
show that the rights given by the or
dinance do not extend beyond certain
definite term
Another popularity of the ordinance
is that it bestows upon the city the
rights of stockholder in the matter
of examining the company records
and books of account. The city wants
absolute rights in this respect the
rates offered to subscribers require de-
tailed study before their merits or de-
merits can be told. 1t may be said in
the companys favor at least that il
offers the city exceptional benefits il
agreeing to place telephone wires IN
der ground throughout the district ex-
tending from Howard avenue on the
north to Goth street on the south, and
as far west as 40th avenue.

THE TELEPHONE SITUATION.

Any legislation that affects the tele-
phone situation in Chicago affects the
telephone situation in Hammond as
Hammond is a part of that system
Therefore the following editorial from
the Chicago Daily News is Of local
interest.
In submitting to the council com
mittee its draft of an ordinance for
an extension of its franchise the Chi
cago Telephone company may have
aimed at that quality of benevolence
which is best styled paternal 1t ex-
tends to the city a kind and caressing
hand to point out precisely how the
latter shall go about arriving at mu-
nicipal ownership of telephones. For
it presclibes in its ordinance that at or
after the expiration of twenty years,
which is the term Of the franchise ask
ed for the city may purchase for sub
sequent municipal operation the plant
OF the company in Chicago But before
this can be done the council on two
occasions in two successive municipal
years. must express itself by a two
thirds vote in favor of making the pur-
chase, and the mayor on both occa-
sions must approve the project. In
other words, one-thi1d of the aldermen
or the mayor alone, in either Of two
municipal years. can absolutely block
the plan But even this is not all. The
proposition must be submitted to a ref
erendum and approved by three-hfths
of those voting at the election"-not
merely three nfths Of those voting or
the proposition.
All OF which seems rather imperti.
nent When Chicago gets ready K

the meantime it viii require the righ
to purchase the plant on, say year;

A GOOD PASTE.

A good paste which is yet inexpensive
is necessity in any home where there
are children. since many a rainy day
can be put in happily with the past
jar, pair Of scissors and an old maya
zine or two. Purchase cents worth
of gum arabic and turn it into a wide
mouthed pint jar having a screw top.
Fill the jar two-thirds full of cold
water and set away over night. In
the morning a smooth, transparent jelly
will be the result, and this should be
we'll stirred up from the bottom with
a stick. Let it stand for three nights
in this way. stirring it up each morn
ing. Then add a few drops of win
green to scent it up nicely. and it is
ready for use. Turn into small jelly
tumbler for immediate use. keeping
the large jar air tight. This paste
is not at all sticky and can be applied
with the finger if necessary, without
disagreeable results.

THE AMERICAN READING HABIT

A recent magazine article deals with
statistics on the reading habit in vari-
Gus sections of the country. The writer
wastes much valuable time and mathe-
MATES dividing the number of books
issued by the circulating Libraries in
each state by the total population of
that state, and. without making allow
ance for the widely varying facilities
for the distribution of books, arrives
at the conclusion that New England
leads, with California second and New
York third.
1t is a natural consequence of the
prevalence of book worship in America
that time should be given to computing
such statistics, and that the press in
commenting on them should consider
the results complimentary to New Eng
land and California.
When some more practical and phil
anthropic statistician computes the
comparative quality of the reading
matter consumed we may come to feel
that a minimum of quantity is the
greatest compliment. Then even the
blindest devotees of the indiscriminate
reading habit will realize that, admir-
able as they are in most ways, there is
a dangerous phase to the public Ii
braries of today.
When the children who entered the
freshman class of Duluth's high school
this fall reported on the books read
| during vacation more than half of them
| had read from twenty five to seventy
| five books, ranging from Mary Jane
Holmes to her modern prototype. The
evil results of such overworking OF
mental digestion without nutritive re
turns are too apparent to need com
ment. The fathers and mothers O
| these children are the average Amerf
can citizens who have made the usua
fetish of books, and they will poin
with pride to the fact that their off
spring are $50 fond of reading" will
the prevalent idea that anything tina
is a book is good.
The Juvenile department of Hbrarie
solves the problem of books for small
er children quite satisfactorily. But a
the age when most susceptible to ficti
tious ideals, boys and girls outgroy
the Juvenile department and we fin
them browsing without restraint in tn
spiced diet of modern problem fictioi
and the best sellers.
1t is time the American parent awok
to the fact that only a genius or a.
angel can be safely turned loose in
library, and that a pure food investiga

girls would reveal as many poisonou
compounds and mislabeIed packages a
ever the packing houses furnished TO

The labor conference between Chi
cago and Hammond representatives Of
the Associated Building Trades, which
is to take place in Hammond next
Tuesday, is likely to be decisive and
far-reaehing in it's consequences. The
outcome of this may be the means Of
establishing the Calumet region as one
OF the most formidable strongholds of
organized labor or if It's object fails,
the region may represent a tremendous
breach in the forces of this powerful
element.
If Gary observes the open shop
rules. 1t will indeed, be a sad blow to
unionism, not only here but through
out the country at large; for open
shop in as gigantic an enterprise as
that represented by the interests in the
new steel town. means much.
While Hammond has been half
hearted in the interests at stake. Chi
cago organized labor has been alive to
the significance of the situation. While

HINTS TO WILLING HUSBANDS
How To Train Wives to Build the Fire
in the Winter.

Winter will soon be here and hus-
bands who would make things easy
for themselves should start at once to
train their wives so that they may do
most of the arduous and cold tasks
which fall to husbands when the mer-
curry is humping its head against the

ance to much abused bubbles, and has
compiled the following suggestions for
their guidance.
l. Begin teaching your wife how to
split wood, putting special emphasis on
preparing kindling.
2 Get in the habit of feeling very
tough at about a. m. practice yawn-
| ing until you can do it naturally, and
your wife will get up first.

T. If your wife insists on you. get
ting up first, acquire the habit of hav-
ing a fit, or getting into a temporary
stroke of paralysis when asked to get
up first: she'll take pity on you and
let you sleep until the house is warm
all over.
B. When you get up bring your
clothes out and dress by the fire, re
marking while dressing that some PEG
pie do not know how to make a fire
Your wife will take this hint and will
soon acquire the habit of having {
