 Atlanta. March 1s--The proposition considered by the Southern Ice Ex- change at it's annual convention here today te form combination for the benefit of the trade In the Southern States was defeated and no effort will be made, according to the decision to raise prices and fix uniform rates. The reasons which brought this decf- sion were that legislation and public sentiment are too strong against combinations in the South; that the conditions affecting manufacture vary too much in different communities and what would be reasonable price in one place would be too low in anoth- CT; and that manufacturers refusing to enter the combination would make it impossible to maintain prices.
 The anti-trust Legislation in the Southern states was dicussed at length and severely criticised. although its effectiveness was taeitly admitted by the action taken of exchange today. The convention will conclude its ses- sions tomorrow

What number of household and |house furnishing magazines have sprung up on all sides! It looks like an attempt to make housekeeping more attractive.
 We are told how to live at the rate of | so many cents day There are pict- lures showing how to set the table for |dinerent occasions. how to plan origin l |aT decorations for different holidays | land all that sort of thing. It really makes your mouth water If |y0u have no home of your own. But one subject is touched on very | |1i&htly---the servant question. Unfortunately that is becoming Fworse than ever.
 Servants are becoming specialists ra- l pidly ,and general housework maids are almost impossible to find. You can get all the cooks, laun- dresses, parIor maids and nurses you want. out the average housekeeper of small means cannot afford more than one servant, and there you are. One servant, if she knows anything. won't do all the work even of an apartment nowadays. fail to see what the solution is to he unless a superior kind of young woman takes up general housework for small families. because she prefers being alone to mixing with other servants.
 Good wages and great freedom in on hours might make position of this sort preferable to standing for hours behind counter. especially if the young woman were treated with the dignity of a housekeeper and made to feel that she held position of trust and responsibility.

EIGHT noUR LAW.
Taft Urges It's Enfsreement to the
 Letter In Canas work.

Washington, March 13-Secretary Taft has given orders to the engineer officers of the War Department to en- force to the letter the language of the eight hour law as applying to public works under then direction.
 This action. 1t is said. was taken by the Secretary of hts own voiition after careful examination had convinced him that the construction formerly given to the law whereby large classes Of employees were held to be exempt from its operation were erroneous. The effect of this last order which was issued with the permission of the President. will be far reaching and 1t Is predicted will greatly reduce the auaount of river and harbor work that can be accomplished under the apprc- priatfons made by the last Congress. large though they were.
 It has, been the practice of the en- gineers to regard the army of employees on dredges. tug boats and snag boats, and other craft pertaining to the gov ernment Improvement. as exempt In large measure from the operation of the eight hour law.

 Women will have hand embroidery on their clothes, and they refuse to pay any longer crazy prices for 1t be- cause it must be imported.
 By the way, speaking of hand em- broidered blouses, wish you could have seen the dozen I brought over from Paris last spring.
 One with beautifully designed yoke was only $3. and the most expensive. filmy creation simply covered with wreaths and blossoms, cost just 45 francs ($s).

GOVERNORS OF STATES ARE
GIVEN WARNING.
Regiments Must Conform to Army
Rules or Lose Share in
100000 Fund.

Washington, June 12.-Robert S.
Oliver, acting secretary of war, has
addressed an identical letter to gov
errors of states and territories having
militia organizations calling attention
to the fact that under the Dick militia
law the militia must conform to the
organization of the regular army by
January l, 1908. Mr.. Gii,sr suggests
that 1t Is the duty of the governors
to take the necessary steps to secure
such conformity in organization.
Failure to meet this statutory re-.
quirernent will result in debarring
state from the use of the allotment of
the annual appropriation OF $4,000
900 for the support of the militia"
says Mr.. Oliver.
The act requires that the number of
a states regularly enlisted organized
and active militia shall be at least 100
men for each state senator and repre-
sentative of the state.
