MEN CENs0Rs OF MILLlNER,
They Are Responsible for Decide,
Slump in Prices, According to
Washington Dealer.

10 watch the parade on r street nc
one would dream that there was a
slump in the millinery trade. Never
theless. high-class milliners say that
there is. and moreover, they blame
the men for it.
we are almost giving our hats
away said the head of the millinery
department in one of the big stores In
this city. In all my 20 years ex-
perience never knew millinery to be
sold Tor so little. Hats settings last
year at $25 and $35 are now selling

there was difference of from 10 to

lie was short. The styles changed

that the extreme styles of the early
spring literally had to be thrown
away. Hats costing $50 and SIS went
up 10 the workroom to have the trim

NEW SYSTEM OF DIsPATcHINe
BY the Use Of the Block Gard Aeel-
dents Are Reduced and Facili-
ties Increased.

In view Of the annual toll OF life
collected by the railroads of the Unit
ed States, the problem of dispatching
trains is an absorbing concern of all
railroad men and matter of no little
interest to the layman. Frequently
announcement is made that new
method Of dispatching trains has been
devised that is a great Improvement
over old methods. However, no
method has yet been formulated free
from the possibility of defect in me-
chanical contrivances or mistakes
born of human frailty.
Since 1907 there has been put into
use on western line what is called
the A b c system of dispatching.
Within two years this system has
been extended to one division after
another until it is now used in operat-
ing over 1000 miles. 1t is the only
real new departure that has been
evolved in many years, for the change
from telegraph to telephone was SIM
ply change in the medium by which
orders were transmitted, while the
A B c system alters the orders them
selves.
All superior and inferior distinc-
tons are abolished and the standard
code is thrown into the waste basket.
A trains rights consist solely of pos
| session of the right-of-way over a
single block. This right is conferred
| by block card filled out and deliv-
| cred by the operator. No train can
! pass station without a block card.
| no matter what the semaphore signal
| may indicate. The block card can
only be issued through the co-opera-
ton Of the train dispatcher with the
operator at the end of each block. SO
that there are always three men par
ticipating in the authorization of each
single movement on a block, thereby
reducing the possibility of error to
the minimum.
With clear signal and block
card train has the absolute right-of-
way to the next station. There, If the
signal is to go ahead, the engineer
proceeds without slackening speed,
catching his copy of the block card
by device similar to a mail bag
catcher. Another copy is delivered to
the rear brakeman, who gives 1t to
the conductor. 1t is claimed for this
system that while 1t provides safety
to the greatest degree possible it also
increases the capacity of the tracks
on which it is used nearly rs per cent.

BORDER TRACK WITH BLOOM
English Railroad Lines Made Beauti-
full by the Elaborate Use of
Holiyhocks.

That supreme cottage flower, the
hollyhock, which has won a score Of
local and poetic names in the last 400
biggest as Of the smallest gardens.
The zeal for the rough border has
brought back the hollyhock, which
comes to perfection when the gush
of color Is over. Even florists have
recently been taking it in hand with
great success, and one can have hol-
lyhocks Of lemon yellow, of every
shade Of red and pink and of many
variations. 1t can be had single or
as thick with petals as cabbage rose.
Some years ago the flower was al
most extinguished by peculiar dis
ease which always threatens it, but
this year has been favorable and
some gardeners say they have kept
the disease at bay by getting rid of
the mallow. which II said to be the
host of tho disease spores.
For some reason the hollyhock
grows supremacy we'll by railways.
Ttns. six-foot plants grow In little
hsadlands between the metals just
outside Victoria station, London. But
the paradise Of the flower Is the en-
balknsnt Aleng the midland railway
just before It escapes into the coun-
try.
Just when the incoming traveller e
poets the banks to be particularly
grim and barren they are crowned for
nearly a mile on end with hollyhocks
of every conceivable color, standing
straight and tall like uniformed senti-
nels. The spectacle is wonderful

by expert gardeners with the acres of
