THE mammoth proportions of the new
! furs make it quite practicable to
wear a pretty little frock like the one
pictured and dispense with the necessity
of a heavy coat, especially on moderately
mild winter days. The costume Illustrated
is a Russian blouse frock Of navy blue
serge Of rather fine weave, the braidang
being done with black soutache and cord
ornaments. Though seemingly separate,
the blouse and killed skirt are one piece
and the blouse opens at the throat over
a little guimpe of tucked net. The hat Is

around the pinafore bib sections. was out
lined with fine silver cord
Pinafore and apron effects of all sorts
are the craze, and most of these pinafores
are knotted about the knee or have
draped sashes falling in heavy loops at
the back below the knee. The washer
woman drapery, with a turned-up hem at
the bottom, is used in all sorts of ways,
the turned-up portion sometimes being
faced with contrasting fabric.
Nothing, however, is smarter for the
afternoon frock than the Russian tunic
of chiffon over fabric of contrasting
color. Cheruit introduced these tunics
and now all the drcssmakers are putting
them over little one-piecc dresses of light
wool material or chez cd mohair, the
tunic of black chiffon over black-and-
white shepherd checked mohair being es-
pecially stunning. From Cheruit herself
comes a tunic frock which appeared
bridge luncheon the other day. The tunic,
falling to the knee and drawn closely
about the figure above the waist, was of
black chiffon and the frock beneath was
Of dark red serge of substantial weight.
All the way down the front, from one
shoulder to the opposite hip, the tune
fastened with big black cord ornaments.
The effect was stunning, and was en-

NOT FAULT OF ELKS.
Members of b. p. o. e. Not RESPONSE
bic for Extinction of Animals.

| Los Angeles, Cal, July 1.-THE
| Grand Lodge Of Elks resumed its an
nuaI meeting at 10 o'clock toby and
proceeded at once to the consideration
| of reports of committees which have
| Investigated various questions before
! the order.
The question of the wearing of en-
blems Of the order made of or contain
| ing the teeth of elks is regarded as a
closed incident and no official action
is likely to be taken by the grand
lodge. The report of the committed
which has Investigated this matter
was to the effect that the members of
the lodge are in no wise to blame for
the rapid extinction Of the elk. This
report will detail the exhaustive inves-
LEGATION of the subject made by the
committee. Other committees have IN
vestigated the question of a change of
location for the EIks' home, and the
building of a much more pretentious
and cOmmodious home; the committee
on the matter of establishment of an
orphanage and the committee which
has Investigated the laws passed in re-
gard to the use of the Elks' emblems
by the lodges of the colored Elks. The
grand lodge has yet taken no action
on these matters. The amusement Pro-
gramme for today was carried out at
Long Beach where thousands Of the
visitors went to partake of a barbeC ue
and to witness the motor boat races
and to enjoy a ride on the ocean. A

STATE VIOLATES LAW.
Board of Control Pays No Attention
TO Eight Hour Regulation.


state Labor Commissioner W. L. A.
Johnson believes that the state board
OF control violates the eight hour
labor law when it requires its en-
eight hours a day, and he believes
further that if any employe of any of
the asyums or reformatories has the
nerve to bring a, test suit that the case
can be won and the heads of depart
ments made to pay the heavy penalty.
The state law is explicit on this sub
ject. The labor commissioner gave
out the following interview in regard
to the matter:
when this law was first passed. the
state officials found that they had
done something they had not fore
seen. They found that they took long
chances of compelling themselves to
make increased appropriations for the
state institutions to provide for more
attendants. In order to nip the matter
in the bud they. had test case
brought from the penitentiary. An at
tendant refused TO work more than
eight hours day. It was all cut and
dried. The case. was rushed through
the courts by agreement and the SUI
preme court handed down a decision
reached in q roundabout way holding
that the law did not apply to attend
ants.
at have been urged time after time
to institute such action in the courts,
and I have always cited this decision.
However, that was handed down
long time ago and was handed down
just when and just as it was needed
I would not be surprised if the pres
ent court would reverse this decision.
I do not pretend to be a lawyer, but a
read ding of the eight hour law will
convince any man that to employ
these attendants more than eight hours
is clearly in violation of the law. The
firemen at the institutions and else
where in the state employ have forced
eight hours from the state.
ST am confident enough in this mat
ter that if any attendant or attendants
would file a complaint and take all the
necessary steps for making a test case
I would push the case to a finish.
Cities and towns all over the state are
trying to evade the law. and this de-
partment is bringing them to time as
rapidly as possible. With the state
setting this kind of an example it is
q difficult NATTER

time high prices on hogs will prevail.
This, Of course, may not be the exact
condition everywhere. but judging from
the fact that corn has been very high
priced, 1 am inclined to think that it is
that way to a certain extent. Farmers
have plenty of young hogs that will
do to follow cattle through the winter,
but the supply between now and the
first of the year is what looks rather
slim. Another class of stock that is
going to command a high price is feed
ing cattle. As. we go along and find
the corn crop maturin-. and promising
to make a big yield. the demand for
feeding cattle will increase. This class
Of cattle has been selling very high all
summer, and now there is a good show
for them TO advance to still higher
prices. So far everything looks favor
able for big corn. The acreage every
where is larger than usual, and so that
alone means more corn. even though
the crop may be spotted. Owners of
steers of the feeding class will have
no trouble at all about disposing OF
them this fall at very high prices. AL
ready inquiry is being made after cat
