her brother Charles was amusing
himself with a bonfire, and was ac-

The boy, realizing what he had
done and afraid to take his infant

the mother, who hastily spread a
blanket about the babe and rushed
her to the Central Emergency hos

believes the Western Pacific will be
the principal factor.
The reason railroad men are in
clined to put faith in the report IS
because the Globe Express company,
a distinctively Gould corporation,
has announced that it would handle
Wells Fargo consignments from
Glenwood west on the Denver 6
Rio Grande and Western Pacific. 1t
is known that a general alteration
of the express tariff is now being
made and it is believed these
charges will include reductions.
IF express rates are reduced it
is a moral certainty that freight
rate reductions will follow" said a
railroad man Saturday. For years
Gould has been acting independently
whenever he could and when his
Western Pacific is completed he will
have a route from coast to coast,
and it means he can do as he may
please. Heretofore the Denver &
Rio Grande has had to maintain
amicable relations with the Oregon
Short Line, because no freight or
passenger traffic originated at lis
Ogden terminal, nor could Gould
route any traffic to the coast with
out using the Hartman lines. l
would not be surprised to see a big
slaughter of rates when the Western
Pacific opens.

SIDNEY, Neb., Oct. 9.-Anton

NO terminal
RATE Charge ON
new RAILROAD

Railroad men are of the opinion
that Nevada, Utah and other west
ern states may be granted some re-
lief in freight rates even before the
interstate commerce commission has
taken final action. A report has
been current ever since the rate
hearing that when the Western Pa
cific opens through to the coast this
fall. George Gould will make a
sweeping reduction of freight rates,
installing a tariff sheet based on
the number of miles the commodi-
ties are hauled, rather than upon
water competition, says the Salt
Lake Herald-Republican.
This sheet it is predicted will give
a lower rate to Utah than to Cali
fornia, a lower rate to Colorado
than to Utah. The principle of
mileage will be the sole basis for
the rate charged. except, of course;
higher charges will be made for
hauling some kinds of goods than
others.
Frank B. Kindell, a brother of
the noted George B. Kindell. of
Denver. was in Salt Lake recently.
and said he had had a letter from
a Denver rate expert, notifying him
to expect wholesale reductions IN
freight rates. The letter did not
specify from what cause the reduc-
tion will come, but Frank Kindell

IS DIVORCED
FROM Wife Who
RODE ASTRIDE
Cry Associated PressI

BOSTON, Oct. 9.-Dr. James Cas-
tie of Lynn, Mass, was today grant
ed divorce from his physician wife,
Mrs. Dr.. Ora E. Castle of New Phil
adelphia, Ohio.
AS the story was told in court,
Mrs. Castle left her husband and
went back to her Ohio home be-
cause Dr.. Castle objected when, on
the occasion of public celebration
in Lynn, she donned a picturesque
cowgirl costume, and mounted
astride, rode through the principal
streets of the city.
The divorce action was uncon-
tested. The doctor testified that one
night on arriving home he found the
house vacant. His wife had gone,
taking most of her possessions, and,
so he declared, some of his. When
he heard from her she was at her
old Ohio home.

HOW FAT WOMEN
OUGHT To DRESS

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Carl Werntz,
president of the Academy of Fine Arts,
where young people and women of
fashion assemble to learn esthetic prin.
ciples, today gave the dressmakers in
convention here few pointers on how
to dress.
GA fat woman said Werntz,
"should not wear black skirt and a
white shirtwaist." Somebody in the
audience appended, "neither should
anybody else.''
Werntz then softened his dietum
with the modification that "unless she
sticks a little black bow at her throat
and puts on black hat and long black
mitts.'
Nobody refuted the esthetic princi-
pies here implied and Werntz further
devoted himself to the Identification
of fat women.
'She should pay particular attention
to her shoulder seams" he said. fThey
should be brought up straight and high.
By so doing she can add several inches
to her apparent height. She should
never, on the other hand, go in for
broad shouldered effects. She should
not wear horizontal Jokes, and she
should not wear skirts with circular
founces on them, nor anything that
tends to give her three or four stored
effect.
Having thus dealt with the fat
women, Werntz addressed himself to
the needs of the round shouldered
woman, the broad hipped woman and
the woman with the fat face.
1.-the only thing in the world that
can save this last unfortunate. non
conformer to the canons of art,'' con-
tinued Werntz, els for her to be care
full of her hat. She should wear one
too narrow-one which turns up some
what on the sides, but not too much.
"The woman with broad hips should
distract popular attention from them
if possible, and if anything can accom-
plish this, it is a clever trick of draw
ing the eye to the shoulders. To do
this make your shoulders look broad
by widening the shoulder seam. If
your shoulders are the ones SHINING
against the canons of arts, divert at
tention from them by pinning bow
on your hips-or otherwise charging
them-preferably otherwise.
EThe round shouldered woman, If
she objects to the simple corrective of
standing straight, can simulate erect
ness by making her hair into psyche
knot, extending backward to approx
mately the point in space which it
would touch is she stood as she should.
BY this simple device and another one
of hauling her shoulder seams as far
back as possible and sticking a fluffy
jabot on the front of her the round
shouldered woman can simulate a fair
degree of ereetness.'F
Werntz concluded his remarks with
the observation that the man who de,
signs a successful dress has a much
greater influence on American art than
the man who paints picture to be
hung in gallery where nobody ever
goes to see it.
