Railroads Demand Material to Make
Their Tracks Safer.

Chicago.-Imperfect steel rails,
hurriedly rushed out Of the big mills
to meet the extraordinary demand for.
material, are held responsible for the
multiplying train wrecks and the ap-
palling loss of life and enormous de-
struction of property. This state
ment was made by some Of the most
prominent operating officials In the
United States. They are here at,
tending the spring meeting OF the
American Railway Association, the
most powerful organization Of it's
kind in the railway world.
Aided by chemical experts and
noted metallurgists, a committee
composed of prominent operation
officials has been making a quiet in
vestigation which has convinced It's
members that the time has arrived
to make a demand on tho steel rail
manufacturers of the country for ma
terial which will make the operation
Of American railways a great deal
safer. ta !

For a Dainty Neck.

There are some very neat little
butterfly ties-to be tied by the Wear
erin soft silk, embroidered taffeta
and linen. They certainly make a
beautiful little bow and one which,
no matter how "thumby" ones fin
gers are, will always be successful.
The protest collar is certainly a
high / iste tucked collar, a tiny
batiste lounce either pleated or
duted bordering it. The ties attached
to these collars are less worthy Of
praise, as their ends were trimmed
with quite unnecessary little batiste
flounces like the collar.

Coat Material Different.

Skirts of n Kind and coats of an
other are in high vogue, but there is
no hit and miss union Of the two. The

other. in tone ard repeats definitely

kind is of shantung pongee, the skirt
of plain and the coat of a novelty

Smart Styles for Spring.,

New York City.-It is a well rec
ognized fact that the stage has 4
marked influence upon fashions, and
here is an exceedingly smart and eX-
ceedingly attractive blouse that IS

and open throat that are so desirable

a choice of elbow or long sleeves. In
the illustration it is made Of white
handkerchief linon with a finish Of
stitching and is worn with a blue and
white silk tie, but it will be found
