 Second row-1 double into TO stitch es (taking up in this and every row the two top threads,. chain, miss 2 double, then 12 double into the next 12 double, 1 chain turn.
 Third row-12 double, into the 2 chain of last row, 70 more double, chain turn; repeat these last two rows until you have worked PC rows alto gether - that is, 13 stripes - then l double into end of stripe, treble into next stripe ., 1 double into next stripe ', l double into next, treble into next ., repeat three times, l double into next treble into next, 1 double into next (the last stripe), and fasten off-this Is the right side then fold together and sew up on the wrong side.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION HEARS
VOICE OF STRENUOUS ONE
WITH BIG STICK.
Changes It's Mind in Important Decision
to Effect That Small Shippers May
Get Together and Secure Low Rates
Applicable to Larger Shipments.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The deci-
sion of the interstate commission today
that it would consider the reasonable.
ness of rates or notices of increase by
shippers, prior to their fling of protests,
is regarded as of widespread import
ance. Following closely upon the action
of Cincinnati shippers, appealing to the
president to induce the commission to
take this course, it is generally be.
lieved that the suggestion calling for
statement comes from Roosevelt.
According to the decision rendered
today by the interstate commission,
shippers may combine on small guam
titles of freight of various ownership
either by arrangement between them.
selves or through the medium of for.
warding agency and ship the combined
lot at relatively lower rates applicable
to larger shipments. The commission
decided in favor of the smaller ship.
pers on the ground that ownership of
property rendered for shipment cannot
be made a test as to applicability as to
the carriers rates.

King Victor Emmanuel s plan is
based on the idea that Abruzzi is fickle
in character. His majesty believes that
his sailor cousin, after the fashion of
sailors the world over, is in the habit of
falling in love and equally in the habit
of falling out of love.
The rule of the court, therefore, is
silence on this one subject. The king
naevr by any chance mentions it and
his encourage, understanding his mo
tives, are dumb as mutes-at least in
the royal presence. 1t is not contra
dicted-oh, no! 1t is merely ignored.

the result that she is decidedly cool
