Women and Promises.

Promising to obey is apt to affect
women in much the same manner.
They take delight in going Just as near
the edge of that promise as possible,
and are not really contented until after
they have broken it.
When no promise Is made it is better
for all concerned, and every day counts
more people who think so.
Already the phrase is being omitted
from the marriage ritual by many
clergymen OF various denominations.

The Promise Of obedienoe.

A Presbyterian minister declares that
1t is not necessary for a bride to
promise to obey her husband. He says
that some men are brutes. and asks
why a woman should be made to vow
to obey such a creature for all Of her
life.
And why should she? And how often
has the vow been kept after being
made? Nine women out of ten will go
to the altar and make of the promise
to obey a deliberate lie, for they are
assuring themselves even while they
are saying 1t that they AVE no inten-
ton of keeping their word.
Lots of women do not say the word
at all. They evade 1t by mumbling
meaningless syllables half under their
breath, SO that none can understand
them, and their indistinct u~tterance is
attributed to embarrassment.
Now, isn't it a great deal better to
leave out the question from the cere-
mony than to have a bride begin her
married life with a lie on her lips?

USE FOR OLD
CORSET COVERS.

Usually the embroidery at the top and
around the sleeves of a corset cover will
be whole and good when the rest is badly
worn. These narrow pieces of embroidery
are pretty and can be made into narrow
turnover collars and cuffs for French
bingham waists. Many pieces of eyelet
work can be cut into neat stocks and fin
ished with narrow embroidery or inser-
tlon. 1t is one way Of using up the bits
Of handwork too good to be thrown away.

UNION WILL Be EFFECTED
Majority of the Western Federation
Delegates Agree With Presi-
dent Mover.

Denver, July H.-The question of q
closer working agreement with the
United Mine Workers of America was
brought officially before the convention
of the Western Federation of Miners
this afternoon
The matter came up during the con-
sideratiOn Of President Meyers an
nual report, in which he advocated
such an agreement. The discussion
brought out the fact that many Of the
members felt a union with the coal
miners organization might force the
Western Federation men to adopt the
check-off and contract system. The
latter organization does not make COIL
tracts of any kind. The fight against
an affiliation of any sort was led by
George Hutchinson, but he was badly
defeated, and the president was in
structed to appoint a committee of five
TO devise ways and means whereby a
working agreement can be obtained
At this Juncture Mother Jones, who
is known from one end of the country
10 the other among miners, entered the
hall She was given great ovation
and addressed the convention for over
an hour, advocating a closer union
among all members of organized labor.
The morning session was consumed in
the consideration of a case of alleged
graft on the part of a Tonopah, New,
miner.

inquiry WOULD
AT ONCE BE MADE
Interview With Chairman
Knapp on Proposed Freight
Rate Increase.

Washington, July 1S.-The interstate
commerce commission has thus far re-
ceived no official information confirm
ing the proposed increase of freight
rates. If the rates made by the rail-
ways are made the subject of complaint
to the commission that body of course
would investigate them. On its own
initiative the commission probably
would institute an inquiry into any
general increase to ascertain whether
the rates are reasonable and just, but
any determination Of such an issue
would not be fOrecasted by the commits
sion itself.
Chairman Knapp of the commission
In an interview today said:
Justification for increase in freight
rates, if there is to be such an increase.
may be found, if at all, only in the fact
that the increased cost of opera ton
and maintenance of railroads has
reached a point where reasonable profit
on money invested in them is not posi-
bic from the revenue they now receive
In determining whether rates are rea-
sonable, careful considerable is neces-
sary of three factOrs-that good wages
be paid railroad employees; that present
transportation facilities be kept on a
satisfactory standard. and that new ia
cilities be provided to meet every in
crease in demand for them"
