son, for some of the failures of the Boston & Maine to grasp opportuni- ties which it would otherwise have seized. The law aimed at stock-wa- tering, which has of late been some- what modified, long interfered materi- ally with the attractiveness of Massa- chusetts railroads as investments The necessity of public approval by the railroad commissioners interfered on at least one occasion with the acquisi- tion by the Boston & Maine of an inl- portant extension to the west. While Massachusetts, through its laws, en- forced delay, somebody else rushed in. The large ownership of stock of the Boston & Maine by the American Ex- press company has been. though MT. Futile would himself doubtless decline to say so, serious obstacle to it's most effective operation. As result of these and other conditions. more or less familiar to the public, the Boston & Maine, while it has done some things well, has not, in the largest sense. been maintained on a high standard of efficiency, or fully abreast of the times.
 MT. Futile esteemed it the duty of a railroad president to be man among men and in touch with the affairs of the community of which he was part. His membership of or ganizations. social, civic and philan- thropic, was extensive. and his inter- est in their several lines of activity has been more than perfunctory.'

A Go-As-YoU-PLEAsE.

There are statesmen who believe that in many things this country should exhibit more unity of purpose and that uniform laws would be a great advantage to the people and the government. We feel trifle proud ot our educational facilities until we are confronted by the figures. and then we realize what slow and inefficient pace we are keeping up. There should be government appropriations for schools which mean a square deal for every child in every state needing in struction.
 The average yearly expenditure per pupil throughout the country is $2S.25 yearly, running from $e37 in SoIth Carolina to s72.15 in Nevada. New York, next to Nevada, spends more per pupil than any other state, mak- ing an appropriation of $51.50 per pupil. Montana allows s49.40, and California s4s.2s. West Virginia leads the south with a yearly expenditure of s2036 and yet is under the aver age of one-third of the states, which spend from s25 to $40 a pupil.
 When it comes to averages, the fig- ures show that one-fourth of the states spend more than s34 upon the education of each child, and one fourth less than $15, and this differ ence can mean nothing but meagre opportunities for many and first class opportunities for only a few Those who believe in the state methods of making men must see if they look at the matter rationally that more evenly endowed and ampler provided educational system would be more creditable to the people and the gov ernment.

HAT RENoVATiNG.

Canvas covered hats can be reno vated, but as canvas breaks down, carefully remove it without destroying the cover coat it with starch, dry it and press it into shape. Clean the cover in gasoline, replace it carefully and press between cloths. This makes the hat as good as new. If not skilled in millinery work, take the hat to a milliner and have it trimmed. Good feathers should be cleaned in gasoline. Quill feathers can be strengthened Fumes are not so easily renovated, all though one can become skilled in the art of cleaning and curling them after a little practice. Tinsel braids can be revived by washing them with tooth brush that is dipped first into studs and then into ammonia. Rinse the pieces, dry and press on the wrong side. The between season hat is made over in this way and serves well during the first rush for hats when they are very expensive. Remember this season to look over your stock of moire silks, velvets and satinS. for many canvas frames are covered with such mate rials,

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Long sashes are being worn with coat suits.
 Fur neckpieces are very wide and muffs are huge.
 Some of the dainty new silk stock ings have lace insteps.
 Red is brilliant exception to the rule that makes for dull-hued colors
 For coats with the extra deep open ing either one or three buttons is the proper number.
 The use of panne is a millinery feat ure. especially for the purpose of fash ioning turbans.
 Superb embroidery trimming schemes in color show touches of jet introduce ed into the designs.
 Even in childrens clothes the ever present note of black is found, either as piping, revers or trimming of some slight kind.
 Corded silks of the ottoman type are i1 great demand for evening wraps, and the moire velours have never been so effective.
 Travel hats are already here and are of the lightest possible make of felt. Some of them are turned up at one side-the so-called "left-side tilt"
 Some of the most striking fall gowns are rich in handiwork. For braiding a heavy silk cord is used instead of the flat braid so popular last season.
 An odd but strangely becoming chif- fon sleeve found in more than one stunning evening gown is made per fectly plain, without tuck or gather, and with no finish at the bottom.

WITHOUT POLITICAL SlGNIFI
 CANOE.

President Taft's visit to the south may be without political sig nificance," as he views it, but it will not be without it's political effect as the country views 1t. The presi- dent and the southern people are hav- ing a right good time together and these pleasant social events not only affect moods sometimes, but also poll icies Taft is not talking politics, but he is talking the best kind of sense to the people, and they are not miss ing the significance of his words. In some ways, the south appears to be more anxious to be won than Presi- dent Taft does to win 1t. The south is awake to it's resources. and its possi- Utilities as a manufacturing as well as agricultural section. in fact, as the Garden of Eden of this broad land of ours, and it is likely to concentrate upon business instead of politics in the near future. As contemporary re- marks:
 ''The south seeks material bless ings. It wants factories snd settlers and capital and a share in the pro- gressive movements of the north and west. At last it is weary of thinking fin the past. Stubborn adherence to wornout convictions no longer ele- yates the southerner. It no longer carries the fascinating element of chivalry. It was the south that kept up the duty on lumber. Because of the south the duty on sugar was hard ly touched. It was not personal views which influenced Senator Bailey to enunciate new policy of the demo- cratic party, but the great state of Texas"
 The south is getting into step and 1t will in the future gather to itself attractiveness, and business, and peo- ple. and power, under a new inspira- tion.

THE BOSTON & MAINE HANOI
 CAPS.

Boston does not like to see Presi- dent Futile of the Boston & Maine road retired, because his notable rec ord appears to be hard to duplicate by any newcomer, for he not only was a great railroad president. but useful citizen with a progressive spir st which always meant advancement for "the Hub.' Concerning his career and the legal and other difficulties in his way, The Transcript says:
 Measured in mileage and facilities the Boston & Maine has witnessed substantial expansion during the six teen years of MT. Tuttle's presidency Kt then had 1.293 miles or main line and branches; with a gross income of twelve and a half millions. Today an income of forty millions is de- rived from the business done on 228g miles of track.

The Hiah Yoke.

The cuirass firmly intrenched the hip yoke. either real or simulated.
 All skirts are severely tight about the hips, and this effect is mostly managed by a little apron used as yoke.
 To the lower edge of this the ma terial is laid in irregular plaits in varying groups. This is rather a good method in heavy worsted cloths, for 1t keeps the thickness off the hips just where the utmost thinness is needed.
 These yokes fit better if they are gored, that is. if they have seam on each side. The entire circular is apt to make one look quite broad and Is difficult to adjust with perfect smooth ness.

When greet governmental issues arise and ttere Is a conflict of force. the line between boys and men is not so sharply drawn. The statistics of the civil war make the boys of '61 look like men. The thought is in the present generation that the minors in the service of the government must have been drummers and walters for commissioned officers never dreaming that the enlisted minors under six teen years of age outnumbered the enlisted men of twenty-five years and more by 100000 That the boys of '61 saved the union is not fgurative language, but a literal fact.
