A busy woman does up her hair in a

head, and let's it go at that. An idle
woman surrounds this knot with friz-

reason you imagine the tight little knot
is a sign of the married state is that

to attend to their personal adornment

THE FUTURES BIG MEN.

That the future captains of industry
in these United States will come from
the toiling masses of today is the en-
couraging thought held out by the
New York Evening Post In a brief
editorial paragraph which it printed
on this subject, as follows:
Our future captains of industry
are probably to be found, as were
most OF the present, in obscure posi-
tons. They are rodmen on the way
to become heads of great engineering
concerns: train dispatchers en- route
for railway presidents; clerks in coun-
try stores fitting themselves all uncon-
sciously to be financial leaders. The
peculiar qualities which make them
what they are can not be taught; they
are partly the gift of nature, and part
ly beaten out in the hard school of
experience
These are words which ought TO,
cheer up many young men who are
struggling on their way in positions
that are not exceedingly attractive.
They'll all lead up to better things If
the most is made of each and every
opportunity.

INDUSTRIAL COLLEGES.

No better work has been undertaken
by the National Civic Federation than
the plans 1t is making for the estab-
lishment Of adequate and purely indus
trial colleges in the various populous
sections of the country. These schools
are to be a part of the public educa-
tional systems and will be supported
by the public. It is planned to make
them distinct from the cultural schools,
that is from the high schools. They
will draw their pupils from the gradu-
ates of the grammar, or primary
schools, when they have reached the
ages of, say, IA or Is years. In the
industrial institutions they will be
given a thorough schooling in the trades
which it will be possible for them to
enter and take advantage of in their
home localities. For instance, it is
proposed that in a place where the
manufacturing of shoes is the chief
industry, there will be a shoe trade
school. Where there are textile works
there will be textile schools, and so on.
That great benefits should accrue
from institutions of learning of this
character there can be no doubt. This
has been demonstrated by the agri-
cultural colleges of the country. Most
every one is familiar with the improve
ment in the agricultural world that has
been brought about by the agricultural
colleges and the graduates they have
turned out. 1t is no more than reason
able to assume that similarly excellent
results can be achieved for other in
dustries and the workers in them by
schools which will be devoted entire
ly to their purposes and needs.
Mr.. John Mitchell the great labor
leader and former president of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, is one
of the prime movers in the Civic Fed
Grafton for the creation of these pub
lie industrial institutions. This. of it
self, is an almost certain assurance of
the accomplishment of the project.

PAssENGER FARES.

Information comes from Chicago to
the effect that the prominent officials
of most of the leading western railroad
systems are holding conferences these
days for the purpose of entering into
an agreement to bring about the aboli-
ton of all special and excursion rates
which are lower than the two cents a
mile rate in the territory where such
rate has been forced on the rail-
roads
This will mean a good CeaI to the
travelling public and especially that
large portion of it which has been able
to take advantage of the extremely
low special rates of the summer time
for their vacation trips. 1t will also
be case of the railroads chewing on
their own noses.
There is no doubt that the railroads
make nice profits out of the greater
portion of their excursion rates which
are considerably less than two cents a
mile, even if they do go into court
and present figures to show that pas
senger traffic is not reasonably re-
munerative unless it is conducted at
a rate of 2.99 cents a mile, that is
local traffic which is a large portion
of the railroad passenger trade. Some
railroad officials are honest enough to
admit that there is money in hauling
passengers at a rate of less than two
cents a mile provided that the cars
on each train where such rates are
charged are filed. This is generally
the case in the summer season when
the special and excursion rates are
sufficiently low to attract travellers in
large numbers. 1t is the hauling of
empty seats that makes a two cent
care unremunerative, according to the
railroad men.
And so if the railroads decided to
abolish the special and excursion
rates, especially of the summer time,
they will be depriving themselves of a
considerable revenue. For there are
lots of persons who will deny them
selves the enjoyment of travel, some
because they can not afford to do
otherwise, even if they do not have to
pay more than two cents mile
Something of hardship will also be
done to this class of persons.
But, perhaps. such an agreement
will not be kept for long even if it is
made. When two cent fares were in
augurated a couple of years ago in this
section of the country the railroads
announced in their wrath that special
and excursion rates would be things
of the past in the two cent rate ter
ritory; that they would see to it that
the maximum rate of two cents
mile would be the minimum rate. They
kept their promises to this end for a
few months. Then one road broke
away from the agreement with spe-
ciai rate or two, another followed suit
and naturally all of them did like
wise. Probably this same thing will
happen again if the agreement in
question is entered into. Some rail-
road. systems are big and strong
enough. not to need the extra money
they can pick up through excursion
