There are linens with equal width stripes

There are also plain linens with large
embroidered dots in slightly different
shade.
More stripes. I'm silk and cotton berege

One novelty in cotton wolfe is especially

All-over embroidery in pale colors is to

TO
BANKRUPTCY Law
Changes Mace TO Correct
Some Defects in the
Measure

After devoting almost its entire session
to the consideration OF the subject the
House Of Representatives at Washington
on saturday passed a bin making several
amendments to the national bankruptcy
law. Mr.. Clayton, Of Alabama. made
desperate but unsuccessful attempt TO re-
peal the law. he and his supporters claim
ing that It had served rs purpose. The mo-
ton TO repeal the bill was defeated by
vote Of III to ls2.
The bill is designed to correct certain
INEQUALITIES in the administration OF the
bankruptcy law in various parts Of the
country and amends the law by regu-
lating the duties and compensation Of
receivers In order to prevent excessive
fees. II also provides that any moneyed
business or commercial corporation except
a municipal railroad or banking corpora
ton can file a petition for bankruptcy,
thereby eliminating the discrepancies
which heretofore existed where some
court decisions barred many corporations
in one circuit which would be admitted
into bankruptcy IN another and restores
the language. OF the act of 1861 which
has been fully settled by decisions Of the
court. Il provides further that I'm any
proceedings it will not be necessary to
have an adjudication where compro-
mise Is affected. thereby removing the
stigma Of bankruptcy which always at
taches under such circumstances. II pre-
vents a few creditors from forcing, by
involuntary proceedings, a debtor into
bankruptcy and then after receiving Sc
cretly their additional compensation or
otherwise adjusting their affairs with
bankers IN order TO have the petition
dismissed without the knowledge Of the
other creditors IL enables a trustee with
the consent Of the creditors to appear in
their behalf I'm proceedings in court con-
nected with his discharge, lessening the
expense by separating IL from tho whole
state. II confers ancillarv jurisdiction so
that all the assests Of the estate can be
marshalled substantially in one court,
thereby deviating the filing Of suit In diff
ferent courts where the property might
happen 10 lie It provides also that IL a
creditor has reasonable cause to believe
that he was receiving a preference that
that shall be a bar to the debtors dis
charge.

MUST PART SEXES
INCHURCHCHOIRS
Rome Orders Catholic Bishops
TO Garry Out Provisions
Of "MO.u PrOpriO''

The official text of a decree in re-
gard TO women singing i'm Catholic
churches has just been received from
the Sacred Congregation of Rites OF
Rome. 1t is a positive refusal TO ex.
empt the churches of the United States
from the operations of the "Motu
Proprio" Of Plus X, except as an ex-
pedient where conscientiously deemed
necessary.
Ever since that decree was enacted
efforts have been made to persuade the
authorities in Rome that conditions
here in regard to church choirs re.
quired a suspension of the new law
prohibiting women from taking part
in the liturgical sections of the church
services. The Rev. Dr. Hugh r.
Henry. who is the director of tho
Gregorian instruction in the seminary
of the Arch diocese of Philadelphia. at
OVerbrook. Pa. framed a test question
which was forwarded to Rome through
the Apostolic Delegate with a request
for a prompt and unequivocal answer
This has just come, in the usual Latin
text.
Explaining it in English. the editor
of the official Ecclesiastical Review
makes clear that the decree enacted
these regulations:
Il. Choirs, commonly so-called. as we
have them in most of our churches in
the United States, where a select group
Of men and women gather for the pur.
pose Of singing during the solemn ser.
vices of the church. are not permitted
by the Motu ProDrio.
80. The answer given in a certain
case (Angelepolitana II. January 1909.
regarding thesinging of women at di-
vine services is not 10 be construed
as sanctioning the commingling OF
men and women i'm the choirs as we
have them in the United States.
80. While the s. Congregation pro
hibits the arrangements of mixed
cnoirs Of male and female voices by
answering the proposed question as "a
its lawfulness by the simple negative
vet when there is a dearth of male
fingers, and when 1t is necessary for
he solemnity Of the service that men
and women join in the singing, even
then the men and women are to be alb
solutely separated. and il becomes the
luty Of the bishop to see that this is
lone"
AS this decision has just been pro-
mulgated no definite directions have
rs yet been made by the bishops as to
how the choir lofts must be arranged
so as TO separate the sexes.

This is the gas company's own recipe
as impaired by one Of its employees in re-
turn for little kindly help given by the
head of the house toward mending a
broken bicycle.
Turn the gas on burner and light it in
the pipe right at the key or stopcock. It
will burn with roar but that needn't
brighten you. Light the burner also and
let both the gas in the pipe and in the
burner burn until the flame becomes blue.
The burner is then clean. When first light
ed it will burn red. but gradually the blue
flame will appear. which means all OBJ
structions have been removed and you are
getting the maximum OF heat with the
minimum gas
Repeat the operation with each burner,
and you viii have saved two dollars.
which is the charge some gas companies
make for cleaning your gas range.
