GETTING THE CRAvAT INTO THE
COLLAR
How to Do 1t. What Collar Buttons to
Use


Use
Here's a piece of information worth the
price of dozen collars to any man. To
properly tie a cravat in a fold or turn
down collar, the cravat should be placed
in the collar-just far enough UP to allow
the cravat to show below the collar band.
The cravat will then easily slip into place
with very little pulling Placing the era
vat far up into the fold of the collar is
like putting 1t into a vice-making 1t i'm
possible for the cravat to slide. \
For the above information we are in
depted to the makers of the Arrow brand
collars. They also tell us what kind OF
collar buttons to use. For the front--a
button with long slender post, ball
head and well rounded shoe should be
used. The quarter-inch post gives plenty
room for the various thicknesses of coll
lar and collar band. The ball head per-
mits the collar TO be buttoned and un-
buttoned without tearing out the button
holes. For the back-a button with an
eighth inch post and fiat head should be
used. The we'll known Arrow collar has
such a favorable reputation itself that
any information such as the above. en-
anatlng from this source, can be implIc-
lily relied upon.

TO END AN ABUSE.

With the purpose of furthering the
ends of justice, there has been for
some time in the New York code of
criminal procedure a provision that
courts of appeal must render their de-
cisions without regard to technical err
rors or defects. or to exceptions which
do not affect the substantial rights of
effect of greatly fastening the punish
ment of guilty men, and it has not i'm
any way interfered with the real rights
of a defendant. When the proceedings
show that substantial justice has been
done the courts of appeal do not take
cognizance of trivial errors.
Now it is proposed to go further and
limit the granting of certificates of
reasonable doubt. a bill to this effect
has just beeen enacted into law and
has received the signature Of Governor
Hughes Certificates of reasonab BILE
doubt are resorted to by shrewd law
yers in order TO keep their clients out
of jail pending the final determination
Of the case. Under the old system it
was not necessary to apply to the trial
judge for such a certificate.
For example, the attorney for a de-
PENDANT convicted in New York City
court could go before judge at Buff
falo and. on an ex parte showing, Sc
cure a certificate of reasonable doubt
That is, he could convince the judge
or persuade him that there was some
doubt as to the guilt of his client. And
this without hearing the prosecution
side of the case. AS a result, the de-
PENDANT, instead of going to Jail would
be released on bail and would be Kept
out of Jail until the higher court had
a chance TO pass upon his case.
The new law provides that certifi.

ART OR MIN ES.

A proposition to establish national
department of art with a cabinet OFF,
Ger at its head is being discussed in
Newlands' name is suggested as spOn-
sor for the movement in the senate if
popular approval justifies.
The proposal will strike anybody IA
vorabiy who stops to consider the kind
of art that passes at par in govern
ment circles, but out here in the wild
and woOlly arid region there is no.
ton that the first government depart
ment to be created ought to be 2 de-
partment of mines. To be sure, the
mining industry is not as aesthetic as
an art branch would be, but in a cold,
commercial world, il cuts something of
a figure as a power in the national well
fare. One good big mining property
probably contributes more to the we'll
being and comfort of the nation than a
whole art department could in a year;
and with the amazing growth of min
ing as a business in this intermoun-
tain region, in Utah and Nevada par
ticularly. the importance of the indus
try in an economic sense demands rec
oention.
What has been accomplished for the
agricultural interests Of the country by
the creation of department. can be
duplicated for the mining business if
the work is undertaken in the same
liberal and scientific spirit. The vast
wealth of Nevada which has been un-
covered within the past decade. is only
a trihe compared 10 the wealth still
undiscovered or unappreciated. Here in
Utah it took fifty years to realize the
copper values of Bingham. because the
methods of ore treatment had to be de-
veloped by private enterprise under
great difficulties. If the unlimited re-
sources and splendid technical organ
ization of a government department
were applied to the study of the ma
tons mineral resources and correlated
questions, it would pay for itself a
hundred-fold every year.
AS an educational factor and a con-
tributor to the finer pleasures of the
people, an art department would be
valuable; but as an immediate neces-
sity and a factor in the prosperity OF
millions the mines department ought
to hold precedence over every other
suggested addition to the executive de-
partments OF the government.
