Filipinos Are the New Pets of Congress

among the dignified members of the
senate.
With its two new members congress
has been economical. Each will re
ceive the regular salary of $500, but
the 20 cents a mile travel gift is not
for them. Two thousand dollars
apiece for each round trip is their
travel allowance.
Neither the house nor the senate
was particularly prepared for them.
Although the authority for the selec-
ton of the commissioners was given
in the Philippines organic act several
years ago it remained for the first as
sembly last fall to make their choice
possible, Then the commissioners
slipped across the Pacific and pre-
sented themselves at the capital.
Congress had not been thinking
much about their coming or their go
ing until they wanted to know what
rights resident commissioners" had in
congress. When they left home one
felt that the United States would let
them stay in Washington only under
surveillance, while the other went so
far a. to believe that they would have
the right to vote in the house, run
down the corridor and vote on the
same measure in the senate.
The powers that be finally decided
that they should be given seats at
both ends of the capitol and the privi-
leges of the floor, but not of voting.

BELTS IN PATENT LEATHER.
Stylish Fashion Has Again Come Into
Popular Favor.

Patent leather belts have come into
their own again. They are very
stylish on all cloth suits. They are
very narrow, the stiff ones running
only an inch wide, but the more fash
ionable ones are in soft leather that
fit into the figure and curve in and
out at the waist line. These are ex-
pensive, but they wear well and are
very superior to the stiff ones in
shape and in curve.
With the stiff old-fashioned belt
there is always the trouble of having
it ride up above the skirt belt. 1t is
too unwieldy to go down over 1t, and,
no matter how high the skirt is
hooked up on the waist, the belt rides
that much higher.
These belts do not have fancy
buckles or even the broad gilt buckle
used on the soft suede belts, but are
fastened through plain black ones COW
cred with the kid.
The undressed kid ones are exceed
ingly stylish and come in every color
to tone into the skirt. The buckles
on these are narrow and made of gilt
or silver, but without jewels.

n HE regular army is revenged. Last
I fall it's officers Rad to take 15-
nile ride in the Roosevelt horseman-
SKIP test.
Gen. j. Franklin Bell, chief of the
general staff, the other day, beguiled
the president to William Muldoen's
15-mile test on foot.
Both the president and Gen. Bell
were guests, after their hike, at a
dinner given by Postmaster General
Meyer. Gen. Bell was as fit as could
be. The president still was fit-for
dinner. But he admitted he ha3 lost
all his appetite for Muldoon tests.
The president exhibited great curl
osity as to the Muldoon system of fit
ting fat statesmen for the Washington
dinner season, since Secretary Root
and Gen. Bell have successfully taken
the course at White Plains.
Secretary Root, to be sure, is not
fat, He was suffering from too much
Monroe doctrine and nervous agita-
ton over the open door in China when
he surrendered himself to the hands of
the professor.
But Gen. Bell is fat, or was, until
he returned from White Plains. The
president did not pay much heed to
Mr.. Roots account of his strenuous
days at Muldoon's, because Mr.. Root
is not athletic. He even avoids golf.

1t is not bad idea to have a slice

While lemon and water is an admir-

be taken that it is not too strong. A

a half lemon, is quite enough for a

CALLS IT INJUSTICE
ENGINEERS CHIEF DISCUSSES
REDUCTION IN WAGES.
DISTINCTION TO BE MADE
Pay by Mile Equivalent TO Piecework
Insist Injured Trainmen--
Trouble Predicted.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 22.--Warren s.
Stone, grand chief of the BROTHERHOOD
Of Local Engineers, yesterday made
the following statement in connection
with the reported purpose of some
railway companies to order general
reduction in the wages of employees:
THE threatened reduction in the
wages of employees In train service Is
absolutely unjustifed from any point
of view. Their pay is based on mile
age basis, practically piece work, and
they are only paid when these ser
vices are performed, Wages of en-
ployes in train service fall parallel
with the shrinkage in business, plus
increased living expenses, away from
home. When the earnings are $3.50
per month, their expense of living
away from home is about 10 per cent,
while at the present reduced rate OF
$40, which has to be met by hundreds
under the conditions that expense will
Increase to at least 20 per cent Of
earnings because they are held away
from the home terminal until there Is
full tonnage train to be handled,
making total automatic reduction al
ready In wages from 60 to 20 per,
cent.
"The roads are getting the same re-.
turn in freight receipts for the SER
vice rendered as they did when the
business was good and there Is no
consistency In asking men to accept
further reductions than result from
the present business shrinkage and
the full power OF the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers will be used, II
necessary, in an effort to prevent any
further reduction. because 1t would
be absolutely unjust"
William G. Lee, assistant grand
master Of the Brotherhood OF Railway
Trainmen, speaking for his organiza-
ton on the same subject, dictated the
following:
'"The wage workers have not had a
thing to do with the panic and loss
Of business except to suffer from the
Encouragement OF some employers
and spectators who Numbered In the
game of dollars on Wall street II he
works he produces just as much per
hour as he ever did. His living ex-
penses are just as high as ever before
"All classes OF trainmen are paid
by the mile and trip and a reduction
of miles run or trips made means a
reduction Of the amount paid for by
the employer.
There can be no good argument
presented why trainmen should re-
ceive lower trip or mileage rates for
mile run. Freight trains are not run
unless business requires It, Corpora
tions never carry an overload of labor,
but labor is usually compelled to carry
an overload of capitalization.
''It Is no fault of labor that finan-
ciefs play with their money and lose
nor is II the business of labor to suf,
| fer the losses sustained when It's en-
| ployers reach too far into the fire and
get their fingers burned.
Our principal business now Is to
maintain the present standard Of liv.
Ing which means to hold to the pres
ent standard of wages and unless all
signs fail, railroad employees will OPP
pose to the bitter end any attempt to

The Spring colors.

The leading colors of spring-to
quote a French authority-will be
blue, yellow and brown, with great
deal of plum color mixed in. There
are also several new shades of green,
one of which, new leaf green, Is gain
ing in popularity. Yet it is rather try
ing in tone. Purple will always be
worn. In the yellows one sees a great
deal of sulphur yellow. And there is
mustard, which is very good color
indeed. Cream, chartreuse, golden
brown and apricot yellow are all to be
a great deal seen. And in blue there
are some lovely new tones, but the
most popular blue will be atlantic, a
blue which is neither light nor dark,
but a clear, lovely medium tone, very
restful to the eye and becoming tS the
figure. 1t is blue with not a parti-
Gle of gray in 1t.

department wants to find out. And the
only way to find oct is to try.
So bread is baked with the bleached
flour. The bread is then put under the
microscope, weighed, dissected
touched with litmus paper, subjected
to acids, cut with knife, torn with
the fingers, hashed with celluloid,
pressed, made into putty, burned in a
retort, dissolved in a test tube, ere
mated, tossed in a blanket and fed to
the poison squad. At least most of
these things are done to it.
Then figures are put down In a
tabular form on sheets of paper,
members of the poison squad are dag
nosed, and in the end there is a re-
port made which DR.. Wiley will ex-
plain to the house committee on ag-
riculture when asking for renewal
of the appropriation.
The report has not been finished
yet, but when it is Dr. Wiley promises
to warn the public as to what colored
bread to eat.

TO TIGHTEN NORTH ROOM.
Various Devices by Which Apartment
May Be Improved.

No one wants a gloomy room, but
what to do with one facing north is
often difficult problem.
Some people do without curtains to
allow all the light possible to come
into the room; but 1t is not so much
light that one needs as sunshine, and
when this cannot be had, one must
make it, or rather, get the effect of it.
Try having it papered with soft yell
low paper. A good plan is to have
a light yellow on the walls as far
as the picture molding, and a lighter
shade, almost cream, above this and
on the ceiling. Then yellow silk sash
curtains pulled back tend to make
a room appear sunny, says Home
Chat.
Brass can make wonderful differ
ence to dreary room. A large
jardiniere, with plant in it, placed
in dark corner, VIII tighten up the
corner marvelously. Brass fireirons
too, will give CHEEKY reflection, even
candlesticks help, and little trays and
bowls, be they ever so small. The Inn.
portance of brass in sunless room
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Mirrors brighten 1t up, and so do some
pictures with well polished glasses
and gilded frames.

TIRED OF RUFFLES
REACTION AGAINST ELABORATE
DECORATION OF UNDERWEAR.
Strong Probability That Trimmings Of

exclaimed an eminently practical
young woman. I'm tired of dancing
attendance on my underwear. Life is
too short" Many other women have
come to the same conclusion since the
extraordinary run of Val. lace and
pink ribbons, which began with the
lingerie waist fad. Every laundering
means solid hour of mending torn
lace, patching ruffles and running in
ribbons, until women who have any
thing else in the world to think of be-
sides the fluffiness of underwear that
never shows anyway. are giving 1t up.
This reaction happened just at the
time of the mo hips" fashion, when
everything that increases ones size is
reduced to minimum, and the result
is the plain embroidered underwear

dainty nainsook which they always
considered a necessity of well-bred
life, for long cloth. This stocky ma
terial isn't so soft and pretty as the

ordinary cotton cloth, and wears fully
as well. It's said by some to stand the
attacks of steam laundry better than
anything else yet found Some women

Significance of Polar Exploration.

There is now no question as to
the value and Importance of polar dis
covery. Their objects are exploration
for scientific purposes, and the encoar
agement of maritime enterprises. The
main principles have been briefly and
clearly set forth by Lieut.. Weyprecht,
who was one of the discoveries Of
Franz Josef Land "a Arctic re
search Is of the highest Importance for
knowledge of natures laws; (2) ge.
ograDhical research is valuable as II
opens the field to scientific research
generally; (3) the north pole has for
science no greater significance than
any other point in the higher lati.
tudes. Lieut.. Weyprecht thus con.
tends, what the Royal Geographical
society, has contended for year, that
the attainment of the highest possible
latitude, or of the pole itself, Is not
the object to be sought, but the ex.
ploration of the unknown area, with a
view to scientific results.

frills down the front. The very incest
broidery or insertion and embroidery
combined, and everything is put on
fiat. For everyday wear nothing lasts
so well as the buttonholed edges and
French satin stitched flowers. Women
who never did any hand work on their
underwear before are doing this work
now instead of setting on lace.
Il think it takes less time in the end
than continually mending fine lace"
said one woman. Some who begrudge
even this time on things that don't
show trim their underwear wholly with
narrow linen lace, which stands laun-
dering as though it We're made of cast
iron. This lace costs bit more than
cotton, but it's very little more and
lasts at least three times as long.
In giving up ribbon-trimmed under.
year, except for very best wear, many
busy women have found a substitute In
narrow linen tape. This can stay in
during the trips to the laundry and
comes out beautifully white. 1t Is
good plan to catch these strings to
the beading or run in the middle of the
back to prevent them from pulling
out.
Pale shades of mole color are much
in favor just now.
They are most becoming and com
bine all the advantages of light and
dark tints in themselves. They also
lend themselves to curious color COM
binations. For instance, mole-colored
cloth skirt is trimmed with a curious
embroidery carried out in black, dull
crimson and deep purple velvet. This
is laid around the skirt in two, bands,
one at the hem and one just below the
knee. The design is a black velvet
trelliswork on which lies the deep pur.
pie miniature arum lilies. having Grim
son velvet pistis.
The style of the dress is the still ia
vored Empire at the back, where it Is
caught up bnto the bodice with small
bows of black velvet. In front it is
drawn down to the natural waist line
and finished with unobtrusive folds of
mole-colored silk
