ences at the White House between the presi-
dent and representatives Of labor and capital
brought together by the Civic federation The
main feature Of the bill is the provision for
the federal registration Of corporations which
come forward with full information about
their formation and business methods The
corporations so registered will be protected
from prosecutions. The Offices of registry
will be the interstate commerce commission
for common carriers and the bureau Of cor
porations for all others. That is, all the law
abiding trusts are to have the opportunity
Of proving themselves such and the others are
to be prosecuted. Also immunity is to be
granted after one year from the passage Of
the act to all those duly registered, that is
immunity from prosecution for acts commit
ted before the passage of the law. The OBJ
Ject is to give corporations which may have
been Irregular chance to reform, using moral
suasion rather than force in the first instance
The commissioner of corporations will have
the right to decide which are the good and
which the bad trusts, and the president will
have authority to prescribe the information
required. One other important feature of the
bill is exemption Of labor unions, oranges,
etc., from the operation Of the antitrust
law and expressly comforting the right to or
ganize and to strike. But the right to carry
on boycott is not recognized
Fire at Lynchburg.
One of the most destructive fires in the city

Bryan Starts the Ball
What is regarded as virtually the first chal-
lenge Of the presidential campaign, if it is to
be fought between Bryan and Taft, came from
the lips Of the Nebraska leader Of Democracy,
when he spoke at the big dollar dinner at Kan
sas City, Mo-, attended by 1000 members of
the Young Mems Democratic club Of Mis-
souri,, Monday night, April 6. Judson Har-
mon, of Ohio, was also down for Speech and
he began it, but the eageness to hear Bryan
made the audience impatient and so noisy
that Harmon had to quit. The keynote Of
Bryan's talk was a comparison between Taft
and La Toilette in which he made it plain
that he regarded the latter as real reformer,
whO if he were nominated, would command
the support of that big section of Republi-
cans who want to see things done, while Taft
he characterized as a bogus reformer. Bryan
made it plain that he expects to see many
Republicans support the Democratic candi-
dates if the Republican party names Taft.

Edict Of Fashion Calls
for Stocks Of Fur
and Lace

Among the new stocks of imitation
Irish lace and tucked fllet net which
all the women are wearing il one that
has . turnover Of colored satin at the
top. This is put on just below the
immense double ruching at top, and
ends in front with fiat, mannish bow
These stocks are attached to any
soft blouse. The color scheme carried
at the top is somewhat of a relief from
the already universal satin cravat at
the base.
To these high stocks are attached
Robespierre frills that drop nearly to
the waist. They are in every form this
season and soften a severe suit in q
wonderful manner.
It is astonishing what an air of
fluffness and frivolity these acces-
series give. A plain, almost shapeless
coat suit when worn with an immense
hat holding soft plume, high stock
Of net or lace with double frills down
the front and frills at the wrist is
transformed into something most fem
mime.
It is these frills and these high lace
stocks that give women their grace
full look this winter.
There is wide tendency to aban-
don wide fur pieces for the neck and
put all ones money into high direc-
toire collar Of fur, edged with frills
and finished with satin ribbon, and to
add an immense muff.
The pelerine and the straight stole
pieces will remain in style, as they
meyer seem to go quite out of fashion.
but 1t looks as though the smart wom-
en- will wear the tight. high neck piece.
The fur pieces that drop around the
shoulders serve to take away from the
new lines this winter. They are not
in keeping with the long narrow sill
houette that women strive after.
There has been no season to equal
this one in the use of Irish lace. This
weave has taken on new prestige and
popularity.
Evening gowns are made of 1t, loose
wraps are built of 1t, it is quite the
thing for handsome blouses, and col
lars and cuffs are sold of it by the
hundreds.
The high turnover collar of baby
Irish with a tiny edge of Irish braid
has substituted the turnover Of linen
embroidery.
Small cravats to be worn around the
base of stock and tied in front are
made of half-inch Irish insertion, and
finished in front with balls and tassels.
These are newer than the cravats of
velvet or satin, and will not be SO
popular, as they are more costly.
Frills Of all kinds on the neck and
sleeves are edged with Irish lace;
belts are made of it, also hat crowns
or brims. The whole hat of Irish lace
has not yet returned to favor.

First Principle Of Cain
ing and Keeping
Health

It is easy to talk about the simple
life and 50 hard to live 1t, for life Is
not simple any more. Its complica-
tons seem unavoidable.
The trouble lies In ourselves; the
entire trend of womanly sentiment n
away from the things the centuries
held dear.
A mother said not long ago: Baby
Louise is 50 flnnicky, she will only
play with her toys two or three times
before she is tired Of them and l have
to send them OF to the hospital"
And tie mother seemed to think
that 1t showed a progressive spirit
in her child. Such a craving for nov
city can mean nothing but unhappi-
ness, no matter what ones ability to
crafty 1t.
II we are ever to become simple
again without some dire calamity fore
ing it upon our country, We must
change our views of much that We
now think progressive.
We will have to learn to draw q
sharp distinction between our neces-
sites and our frills. A woman who
is noted for her restfulness and her
placidity in the midst of hard life
was asked how she managed to keep
unfretted.
Il try to keep my life simple. Long
ago I learned that what women pos
sess beyond the real necessities soon
grows to be a WEAKNESS to the nerves.
The more of the unessentials We &C
Guire the more We want. Our most
coveted treasure soon grows insig-
nificant in the thought Of something
still to be achieved. l make my rule
of life less change and more repose."
That is good rule for any harassed
mother or business woman who has
come to think life too much for her.

Painted Walls.

Painted Walls.
Many women who are having their
houses done over this autumn are
choosing paint instead of paper for all
the upstairs rooms.
They think this method more n.y.
gienic and more clearly. The walls
can be washed down and do not need
70 be renewed each season.
Not only pale tints, but rich warm
ones are used, such as terra Gotta.

tones Of heavy gray are popular.

1t is rather startling statement
