riety and originality are surprising in
view of the somewhat narrow limita-
tions of line and idea.
Moreover the liking for hoods which
started first with practical fur and
cloth headgear for winter motoring
and developed into coquettish and
elaborate head covering for wear with
evening dress in open or closed cars
has spread far beyond its original
field.
Taffeta is used more often than any
other material for the making of the
modish evening hood, very soft taffeta
OF course, without crispness, though
with a certain body which the big hood
needs. Liberty satin, too, is used
for lovely models, and occasionally one
sees a model of transparent NOUS
seine or net or lace over a silken
foundation.
Silk yelling, too, is a hood material
and one of the prettiest models was
in voile de sole ciel, with little puff
fling bordered by cords of ciel taffeta
and frill OF lace framing the face
while on the middle front Just inside
the lace frill was posed a garland of
tiny pink roses and foliage. This same
model we have seen in rose pink taft
feta and in a delicate lilac taffeta.
A hood of this type should surely
not be a difficult problem for clever
brains and fingers, and for that matter
majority of the models are not par.
ttcnfarly complicated in construction,
requiring taste and ingenuity rather
than expert workmanship
A wide puff of cream net bordered
on each side by line of tiny roses
or rosebuds and single or double
frill of lace make a good finish for one
OF the voluminous hoods of taffeta
or liberty. Sometimes the frilIs are Of
SILK t1ousseline or chiffon raSher than
of lace. and perhaps the Outer frill
matches the hood in color while the
frill next the hair and face is white.
Narrow black lace and knots of
black velvet trim one hood of straw
colored silk, and velvet loops and bows
finish the front of another silk model
which has only narrow bordering
frill of lace around the face but deep
capelike frill of lace around the neck.
A majority of the hoods have some
sort of cape finish, more or less shall
low, and some have long scarfs of the
hood material cut in one with the
body of the hood.
Two wells, one falling in front and
one behind, are adjusted to most of
the poke and coal scuttle motor bon
nets, and the neutral and medium
tints are usually chosen, the fashion
able smoke and taupe grays being es-
pecially popular. Other small, close
fitting bonnets have wells draped
round them and falling at the back in
two long scarfs, which may be adjust
ed and manipulated as the wearer
may choose.
Half bonnet, half hood are certain |
motor toques in mousseline de sole |
on the order of the taupe one pic |
tured here, with wide, low draped |
crown, soft frills falling over the hair
and long scarfs brought forward from
sides and back.

Washington, December 19.-After
more than five weeks devoted to
hearings on tariff revision, the House
completed that part of its labors and
is now ready to begin acvtiNe work on
the new tariff bill Immediately after
the holiday recess. A complete rec
ord of all the testimony adduced at
the public hearings has been made
and will be published in printed form,
covering many thousands of pages.
A prominent Republican member
of the committee sums up its work.
and the prospects of revision, in the
following language
I'VE are going to frame a tariff bill
that will commend itself to the sane
and progressive. There is no ground
whatever for criticising anything the
committee has done up to this time.
Hearings have been in the open and
everybody who wanted to speak was
given an opportunity. Mr.. Payne was
compelled to shut off witnesses who
desired to make stump speeches, but
anybody who had facts was always
welcome. Five weeks were devoted
to the taking of the testimony, where
as less than two weeks were devoted
TO public hearings on the Dingley
bill
s.rr,t.
This much may be said regarding
witnesses who have appeared: There
has been much uncontradicted testi-
mony that many articles now highly
protected can be placed on the free
list without doing serious harm to
legitimate industry There has been
much uncontradicted testimony that
meterial reduction in many other
schedules can be made. You will OBJ
serve that l use the word 'uncontra-
dicted,' and its use is important in
defining my position when It Is re.
membered that most of those who
came before us were representatives
OF special interests asking for the re-
tention of present rates. In other
words their own testimony proved the
case against them"
Q what may be regarded as the Dem.
ocratic view of the hearings is pre.
sented by Representative Underwood
OF Alambaa, one of the most alert
minority members of the committee.
1t has been shown conclusively by
the manufacturers themselves" said
Mr.. Underwood, that many of the
rates of the Dingley tariff are not
protective, but prohibitive. 1t has ap-
peared that under such prohibitiye
rates the American market has been
controlled, the consumer assessed
the workingman not correspondence
compensated and the revenues of the
government impaired. think it is
settled that we are going to write a
maximum and minimum tariff act
Our friends on the Republican SIDE
may insist that it shall preserve the
protective principle, but it is no
plain to all men that we must mix,
such reducti' L. from present rate,
as will encourage importations to az
extent that will make it possible to
meet TIE eXpe nditures without the i'm
position of form of taxation more
direct"

bers are experienced trainmen, as in

names of Erwin Winn and Walter

old, respectively, and had in their
possession when arrested a revolver
and over a hundred rounds of ann
munition, q bottle supposed TO con-
tain poison, miscellaneous assort-
ment Of skeleton keys, a brooch and
a belt buckle. S. v. Vanderhof, a
tramp, was arrested last night, and

robbers could not identity the sus,

A peculiar feature OF the search for
the robbers is the apathy Of the
Portland police department. Most Of
the work is being done BY the detec-
tiyes in the employ Of the railroad
and express company and by the sher-
IFS Office The police attribute their
to the fact that the robbery
occurred outside their territory limits.
