SAY WATCH TRUST
HOLDS GOODS BACK
jewelers. Expect a Raise in
Pr.CeS When New Tariff
Bill Passes

WASHINGTON, April 26-Retan
jewellers all over the country sre COM
ing forward with a new charge against
the alleged Watch Trust Of this coun-
try, which they claim is getting some
especially clever jokers into the tariff
bill for its own benefit
When the bill came from the House
Committee the jewelers. declared that
the real joker was in the requirement
that imported watch movements must
have engraved on their plate or else
where, in plain. legible letters, the
name Of the maker. the country. town
or city Of manufacturer, and the num-
Der Of jewels and adjustments. in both
Arabic and Roman numerals. Looked
simple; but the jewellers explained II
by saying II was simply impossible.
IT Is SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE.
Most Of the watches imported nova
days. they said. are the very small
Swiss cnes, from the size of ones
thumb nail upward; and in these
movements there is absolutely no piece
Of the mechanism on which the en-
craving required by the bill could be
placed and made legible.
The watch people hooted at this OBJ
lection. Now come the retailers again
with the report that they are utterly
unable TO buy movements from the
trust" watch concerns in this coun-
try. Orders bring the reply that stocks
are very low, etc. AS a rule, II Is
stated. sistent orders for a dozen oI
two dozen movements may in time
bring two or three movements, with
the explanation that these are all that
can be spared.
HOLDING GOODS BACK.
The retailers declare that they have
information that in fact the manu-
facturers are unitel In holding these
goods off the market until the new
bill shall become law, when, with tn
stocks In the hands Of retailers and
jobbers Of jewelry depleted and th'
| foreign-made watches effectually shut
out, they will raise the prices TO leveli
never before touched, and make bis
profit filling the accumulated demand

USE OF RIBBONS
VERY POPULAR
Are Worn With New FrOcks
Wherever One Can be
SeWed on

At the present time the use Of ribbons
and laces is so considerable an item in
women's dress that any little tricks where
by their use can be extended viii produce
noticeable economies in the dress bills OF
the fashionable woman. Ribbons dye very
easily and can be so tr<Ned by any care
full housewife.
All the soiled ribbons from any season
can be dipped a dark shade and employed
as ribbons for the hair and for belts AS
for several seasons past it has been the
mode to have all the ribbons and laces
on any costume carried out in one tone OF
color. much money can be saved by dying
various soiled laces and ribbons a darker
shade
For instance. lavender dresses are trim
med frequently with ribbons and lace'
dyed to the same shade. and brown lace'
are frequently made up into entire gulmpe'
to be worn with brown cloth suits. Hats
can also be made up Of these dyed lace'
and ribbons and a great deal Of it is usec
in trimming sleeves after the japanese
style and cut which is extremely modisl
at this period.

tions. the highest salarled single per-
former on the American vaudeville

Sevengala during the week at the

startling results will be accomplished.

Care Of the Hands.

Under no circumstances should one go
out of doors IN cold weather without
gloves.
Frosty air will be very positive cause
of finger nails breaking or cracking and
will also produce unsightly RIDGES, which
are merely an overdry condition.
A sharp instrument must not be used
for removing soil beneath the edge Of the
nails. A stick Of any kind is best.
When the nails are very soiled the stick
may be dipped into lemon Juice or rubbed
into the soap. together with a little water,
forming a paste.
Polishing powders should be little used,
as their effect is excessively drying.
White spots are sometimes caused by
bruises, and If any are present spec'a'
attention must be given in manicurin ne

SHORT AND SWEET.
President Taft made a big hit when
he put his tariff message into 300
words.
The article you are now reading is
composed of 800 words. so you can
readily understand the brevity OF the
Taft document.
The newspapers have come to dread
the appearance Of the average mes
sage that fills so much space, to the
exclusion OF the news.
Besides
It is an open question whether one
person in a housand really reads the
voluminous executive deliverances.
Ex-President Roosevelt's favorite
picture-the one over the mantel In
the executives private ofiice-was the
one In which the old farmer is shown
as sitting up after the family has gone
TO bed, burning the midnight oil and
poring over each sentence OF the pres
ident's message.
The picture is rather fanciful.
Nowadays the farmer Is about as
busy as the business man. He Is on
a rural route. gets his daily paper and
skins over the headlines after taking
a look at the markets just as the man
in town does.
But It is safe to say the farmer and
everybody else read every word Of the
tariff message.
