TURBANS GIVEN NEW NAMES
MiFiiners Work Hard Thinking UP
Designations for That Form of
Headgear.

Evidently the turban is to take on
as many kinks anG curls as the mil
liner can devise. And with each new
kink comes a new name.
We have had Turkish, Uhlan, Rus
sian, Cossack, Sultan; now we are to
have Rembrandt, Henry Ill, Hussar,
De Stael, Drum Major and Napoleon.
Some of the furs of which they are
made are of the ultra-fashionable ring
tail; also ermine and sealskin, Aus
tralian oppossum and moleskin. The
drum major turban is trimmed with a
circlet of antique gold and bronze set
with jewels.
The latter are very new and smart
and will not stir the wrath of the Au-
dubon society. A thick quill is used;
then the long, coarse fur of the
monkey is put in it at each side. 1t
is amazing what influence the Audu-
bonists are having on millinery and
these fur quilts are one outcome of
it.
Bronze lace is widely used for trim
ming, and ermine and sealskin with
out trimming are among the most dis.
tinguished turbans of the season.
Another model that has startling
distinction is of moleskin trimmed
with an heroic pansy made of blue
and violet bugles with a gold center.

Curiosities Of the New Tariff.

If the tariff question as it relates to
party politics is p~erplexing, nc less so
is it in the aspect of its ultimate effect
as worked out through administration.
Some features of it indicate that very
curious and far reaching changes in
our foreign commerce may result from
the effect it is bound to have on GER
tain lines of trade.
Complaint is offered from Canada
on two separate and even contradic-
tory lines of objection. One is that
hostile significance is attached to our
lower duties on wood and pulp, so
much SO that Canada contemplates re-
taliation to protect her forests. The
other is that our possible application
of the maximum rates will justify
Canada in reprisal, to the point of
forcing our factories to move oyer the
line in order to sell goods there. Both
parties in the dominion are committed
| to protection. 1t will be easy to enact
legislation over there that will seri-
ously affect u export trade and in
| directly our imports.

LATEST IDEA IN HAT BRIMs
New Decree of Fashion Is That They
Must Have immense Flare
at the Back.

The last innovation in hats Is the
immense brim that swoops UP at the
back. 1t is not becoming to any one,
but 1t will probably be worn by the
majority. 1t is a less artistic angle
than the one formed by a fiaring brim
at the side or the left front. It should
be softened by the thick end OF a
plume. When a barbaric ornament is
used In the center Of it, the emphasis
is bad. Yet nothing the critics will
say will deter women from wearing II.

Possibilities.

There are some women who are
constantly utilizing old material, and
then, again, others who discard a
s~hirtwaist, skirt or dress merely be-
cause 1t is somewhat old style or torn
in a few places.
A white linen s%hirtwaist, which was
in very good condition, save for a few
holes at the %neckband and waist line
(caused by constant pinning), was
| saved from extinction by one of the
cautious, who converted it into stock
collars and belts. The ends of the
stocks were square, and OF one collar
five tiny clovers were embroidered.
There is a satisfaction in knowing
that good material is never wasted
The half-worn linen skirt has count
less possibilities.

MESSAGE COMES AS RELIEF
Commonplace and colorless, Neverthe-

RooseveIt's.

President Taft's message to con-
gress deserves the thanks OF the
American nation for at least one Tea
ture-it contains nothing that can by
the remotest possibility be construed
as disquieting to business.
Certain of the presidential sugges-
tons promise well for the public IN
terest, if enacted into suitable legisla-
ton. Others, in our humble opinion,
are ~manifestly ill-adyised and would
work serious injury, should they ever
be ~crystallized into law.
A ship subsidy is unnecessary and
would be a grossly unfair burden
upon American taxpayers. Postal saw
ings banks are not to be considered,
since they mean an enormous addition
to the vast standing army Of federal
~tax-eaters.
The Journal could wish that Mr'
Taft had recommended some real tar
if reduction. but. Of course, having
signed the Aldrich bill and repeatedly
expressed his unqualified approval o.
that legal marvel as a sufficient meas
ure of reform, such a recommendation
was not to be expected.
Evidently President Taft has decid
ed not to interfere seriously with any
thing or anybody. His message is al
most commonplace in its absence o
declaration of any personal policies

PROPER LENGTH OF SKIRTS
Fashions Decree Makes Distinct Vari-
ations In Dimensions of the
Garment.

There Is confusion in the minds OF
many concerning skirts, There is so
much talk about smart gowns being
five inches from the floor for evening
and nearly six inches for morning,
that women wonder If there is any
hour in which the long, graceful skirt
is worn.
The strict decree Of fashion is this:
Skirts five or six inches from the
ground for street wear; skirts that
sweep the floor in a round train for
the afternoon, and skirts five inches
from the floor for the evening.
This is the decree! Everyone does
not have to abide by 1t, but numbers
of women will accept it in part, If not
in whole. They may not have everJ

insignificant and whisky is going

Protecting American Labor.

The federal government has a
chance, which, by the way, 1t seems
to be determined to make the most of,
to find out just how American labor
is protected by the Pressed Steel Car
Company. The company yesterday
agreed to take the strikers back. An
increase of their wages is promised
and all other points have been con-
veded. The stories which the men
told did not give n a pleasant I'M
preston Of the protection received by
the employees of this company, and
the government has asked for testi-
mony and has promised protection to
all who will testify.
Thinking OF all this one cannot but
remember all the beautiful talk about
an American rate of wages, an Ameri-
a standard of living, and the duty
Of congress to legislate SO as to main
tain both. The people Of this country
are taxed heavily in order that this
may be done. If 1t is not done they
are being taxed under false ~pretenses.
If 1t is true that the workers in this
plant were mistreated and hall
starved. it can hardly be said that
they lived according to the boosted
American standard which protection
is supposed to make possible. So i
will be seen that the question to BIZ
investigated is broad. We want tx
find out, not only whether these mel
have been abused, but, if so, what be
came of the money taken from thu
American people in order to insure
the men good wages and a high stand
ard of living.

proportion Of myopia or nearsighted-
ness is very great. An explanation OF
why it is not so common in this coun-
try lies in a high degree to the fact
that the illumin2tion of American
homes is better than anywhere else IN
the world. An interesting thing IN
his connection is that in Germany IN
the homes Of the well-to-do one may
see on the pianos in the place OF
piano lamps the old-fashioned sconces
for candles. The myopia in that coun-
try is undoubtedly caused In a great
degree by bad illumination.
IT is undoubtedly due to the great
care which is being exercised in the
treatment Of the eyes and by prescrib-
ing proper glasses that the horrible

Tariff Tricks.

The people have lately had a good
deal of light on the business of tariff
making. Many men now see. as they
never have seen before, how difficult
it is to make a tariff that is honest
even from the protectionist point Of
view. We have all read of the "jok-
ers" in the cotton schedule. the toy
schedule, etc Now we learn of an
other 'joker." 1t involves the prod
ucts of petroleum. The house voted
to put crude and refined petroleum on
the free list. 1t supposed it had also
repealed the tax on the products of
petroleum. 1t is said that Mr.. Payne
gave the assurance that such was the
effect Of the change. Speaker Cannon
Is said to have expressed the same
opinion. But now 1t turns out that
only refined and crude petroleum are
put on the free list and that the prod.
ucts are to be taxed 20 per cent. I'M

of a majority of the senators-either

as to values, in very many cases upon
the maintenance of high tariff.
