HOW TO HANG YOUR OWN SKIRT
The most difficult part of max

up Of the hem. The fitting of the
skirt around the hips can be accom-

er bnt many women find it almost
to turn their skirts up
evenly at the bottom. : One way of
accomplishing this has met with
success by'a number of women who
make their own clothes is to finish
the skirt entirely at the top first,
even to the hooks and eyes. When
the skirt has been finished all ex-
cept the hem, put it on and fasten
it. Now procure yard-stick and
rest one end of it on the floor direct
ly in front Of you and put pin in
your skirt at the point where, the
top of the yardstick comes.; which
will be a few inches below the waist
line. Move the stick a little to the
side and insert another pin.
Continue this until you have
row Of pins around the hips. The
pins should be placed quite close to-
gether. Then take the skirt off and
after determining how many inches
from the floor you wish your skirt
to be, measure from the row of pins
and turn the skirt up. If you have

THE CRISIS in uNIoNIsm.

In an article in one of the leading
magazines Mr.. Henry White points out
That crisis in unionism occurred fol.
lowing the exposure Of the political
weakness of trades-unions, when their
EFFORTS to affect materially the results
of the late presidential election proved
futile. A readjustment of the unions
to the community has become neces-
sary. and Mr.. White expresses the
hope that past experience will be
turned to account to put the unions in
harmony with the conditions of social
welfare. He says:
"The political effacement of organ.
lied labor for the time being has
weakened it industrially more than at
first appears. The fear of the polit-
ieal influence of the union secured for
1T many legislative concessions and
also control of administrative posi-
tions in the departments of federal,
state and municipal government One
of the results was the unionizing of a
considerable portion of government
work. During the past year the open
shop movement reached its climax.
Trades which were union strongholds
are now open The hating industry.
which by reason of the general use of
the union label was thought to be i'm
pregnable to the employers move
ment, is the latest to succumb. The
hatters' union, though it received the
concentrated support of the entire
union influence, was disastrously
beaten. In the shoe and clothing
trades the union label has been large
ly discarded. With view to counter
acting this rapid decline in the use of
the label, the American Federation has
recently planned an extensive cam
paign through separate bureau"

BEATING the Garnet.

Kewanee Star-Courier: Any man
who has piled the fail under the watch
full eye Of his wife, and In the hearing
Of the uncomplimentary comments OF
his neighbors, will hail with satisfac.
ton the announcement that the health
authorities in number of cities are
considering ways and means to do
away with the annual nuisance OF car
pet beating.
Those who oppose the practice de.
clare that muscular man with car
pet beaten can turn loose more disease
germs on the dust laden-air in min.
ute than can be liberated by any other
process. For this reason they declare
that practice must be stopped.
There really seems to be a great
deal of merit in this contention, but
will the people who are denouncing
the practice of carpet beating be kind
enough to tell the other people how
they are to get their carpets cleaned!
Now that housekeeping time is
upon us there are many anxious hus
bands who hope that If the local health
department is going to take any steps
to abolish carpet beating 1t will get
busy and do it quickly. Every days
delay just now, means sore muscles
for hundred or more men.

Income Tax insincerIty.

Buffalo News: It is solemnly said
by some of our Democratic contempor-
aries that President Taft should come
out for an income tax. 1t is singular
notion that statesmen can draw Dill
of that kind which will pass muster
with the Supreme Court of the United
States. The decision on the income
tax section of the Wilson tarif law
should be held to have settled that
question. Direct axes are by the
Constitution directed to be levied on
the States in proportion to popula-
ton. No matter what the ingenuity
of Congress in defining direct tax
there is no room for doubt on the sub
|iect of whether an income tax is d.
rect or indirect. Usually, nothing can
be more direct than the putting OF the
official hand into a mans pocket to
take out certain percentage OF MS
pocket money-that Is, Of his income.
No statesman is proposing tnat
there be sum of money say, $4O,Ooo,'
600, apportioned among the States on
the basis of population to be raised by
an income tax. That is the only Con,
stitutional way to impose such tax.
The poorer States have never leaned
to such a proposition and probably
Ineve will. The notion of imposing a
direct income tax at all is based on
the assumption that far the greater
part OF it would be paid by two OF
three rich States and especially by
New York and Pennsylvania.
There was no argument against the
income tax provision of the wilson
bill that was more cogent than that OF
Senator David B. Hill on the purely
legal side of the question. His argu
Ement was based on principles SO Cd
vious that it was followed in sub
stance by the Supreme Court in its de-
cision overruling that part OF the law
AS long as the Constitution stands as
lit does on that question 1T is fair to
ask-What is the use of this perpetual
talk about national income tax! II
seems insincere.

The COMMISSION PLAN

Unbiased reports agree in giving
hearty Endorsement to the commission
plan of municipal government. The
committee of the Illinois senate which
visited GALVESTON, Houston and other
commission form" cities has reported
that this kind of government has Civ
en- to these cities fearless, progress
i've and conscientious officials That's
what American cities need! Then,
too, they reported that "the cities are
entering upon an era of great prosper.
ity;'' and that these cities have the
full confidence of their citizens in the
integrity of their public officials and
in the efficiency of the commission
form of government Tie findings OF
the Chicago pribune, which has made
a study OF the commission plan OF
city government, are equally favorable

official Initiative.

Rock Island Union: Over in Iowa
thew have recently enacted statute
tnat requires officers of the law to take
the initiative in all matters OF enforce
ment. This is as it should be. the
idea OF officers laying back and excus-
ing themselves by saying, I am per
fectIy willing to go ahead If some citi-
zen will file a complaint" is all non
sense, and is the cause of the condi-
lions that all law abiding people com
plain Of.
1t is a beautiful theory in the abb
stract. but in the concrete 1t has re-
suited in conditions that are obnox.
ious in every city in the United States.
The people elect officers to look after
manage and control public matters
and the tendency of the tines is to
enact laws requiring them to go ahead
and do so on their own motion.
If the manager of business cor
poration made no move in looking
after the details OF the business in his
c.4arge, save on information filed by
a stakeholder, a most gratifying stu
alton would soon follow!
This :, precisely the attitude fol-
lowed by our public officials as to
many matters in their charge-unl less
once in while they want to get even
somewhere. Then they rip things up
the back and let 'em subside again.

THE BIRTH RATE DECLINE.

Frederick L. Hoffman contributes to
the May number of the North Ameri-
can Review thoughtful article on
The Decline in the Birth Rate" Mr..
Hoffman presents certain suggestive
statistics, mainly from Rhode Island
and New Hampshire, which Indicate
continuous falling off in the size of
families of native-born Americans,
and corresponding increase in the
size of the families OF immigrants
which, if long continued, must newt
ably effect a change in the racial char
acter OF the population of the country.
The decline in the birth rate has
significant relation to the moral ideals
of the people, and with this aspect of
the subject Mr.. Hoffman deals in a
serious and drastic manner Criticising
the contentious of those who contend
that in large families of the poor are
many who should never have been
born he says:
