Favors Larger Commerce Commission.


Washington, May LEX Representative william
F Hepburn of Iowa, former chairman Of the
House Committee on Interstate Commerce and au-
thor Of the Hepburn law. believes that the In
tention Of Congress in enacting the commodities
clause was carried ont by that clause and that the
decision ~ the Supreme Court was exactly what
Congress expected. He maintains that 1t was not
the intention OF Congress extend the prohibition
against a railroad company carrying commodities
TO include the commodities of corporations In which
the railroad has only stock interest For this
reason he believes that Congress will be slow 70
enact law which Will further extend the prohibit
ton against common carriers. He does not think
that either Of the measures along this line which
have been introduced in Congress will be passed.

Variety in Fancy Neckwear for the Season

finest linen with cravat and frin or rabat,
a chic stock of silk with cravat and bow
or with frlls of lingerie or net, and each
one of these classes has a host Of subdi-
visions.
The silk stocks are, of course, very prac-
teal, If neither so dainty nor so becom-
ing as the models in lingerie or net, and
It is a long time since the stock of this
general character has been in fashion.
Moreover, in its last previous incarnation
the silk stock was a stiff, uncompromising
tailored affair, while now 1t has broken
out into all sorts of ~frivolity.
There is, for instance, one smart stock
which Is of demure black taffeta around
sides and back. but on either side of the
chin in front this black stock turns away
in little sharply pointed tabs, leaving a
space filled in by a soft bow Of net from
which fall triple plaitings of the net.
Another stock, sketched here, as is the
one just described, is of soft yellow with
a frin of creamy net around the top, and
has a cravat of black satin, from which
knotted ends fall over plated frills of net.
The use of the narrow cravat solves the
problem of a nice adjustment 'twixt one

souls and Soap.

Recently at a meeting of the State Fed
Grafton of Women, or Women's clubs OF
Pennsylvania, Mrs. Tillinghast propounded
this conundrum, II it is a conundrum:
What effect, think you, will an endless
round Of cleaning and scrubbing, washing
and ironing have upon a human soul? How
far toward the local ideal in moral and
spiritual development will such a soul be
able to advance?"
perhaps something would depend on the
soul" comments the Nashville American,
1--WE have not heard that cleanliness Is an
enemy Of s%oulfulness or that industry IL
immoral, though we have seen poets and
artists who looked as II they did not battle
az often as they should. Is Mrs. Tilling-
hast of Titusville, prepared to argue that
a soul that lives in dirt and idleness Is
apt to be more soulful than one that be-
Heves In soap and water? Or Is 1t the
work that degrades, that stunts the soul
and dwarfs spirituality? Constant drudgery
might, but would constant idleness promote
moral and spiritual growth? The ideal is
not reached by merely yearning. No
woman should scrub or wash all the time.
She may keep her house immaculate while
her mind gathers cobwebs. Let her learn
TO make good bread or a pie; then she will
be an artist for whose work the world will
quickly desert the productions of painters,
sculptors and poets"
