DON'T WEAR RUFFLES
ANYWHERE, is ADVICE
TO A CLASS OF GIRLS
Also Train Husbands to Perform the
HouseWork, Adds This Leo
turer, Who Is Un-
married

LA CROSSE, Wis, Feb. 13-There
should be no ruffles on-er-lingerie, no
false hair and no bonnets, Easter or
otherwise, according to Miss A. L.
Marlett of the home economics depart
ment of the University of Wisconsin.
Miss Marlett barred the ruffles and the
other things, and showed that although
single she knew just how to manage a
husband, or even two or three, at a
talk she gave to q class of girls at the
La Crosse County College of Agricul-
ture.
Ruffles, she said should not be worn
on-shoud not be worn on any articles
of lingerie. Why? Because no one
saw them, and then, too, they enslaved
the women who had to wash for a liv-
ing, and were unsanitary besides Two
sets of garments, an under set and an
outer set, were the things for women
to wear, and loose clothes and gym
nasium suits would soon be the fashion.
But, said Miss Marlett, women should
dress to accentuate their beauty and
not to be copy cate" A blue-eyed
girl could make poets rave, she said, if
she could only dress in light blue, and
rosy cheeks and cherry lips could be
accentuated by similar displays of
taste, all at the same time.
False hair? Horrors! Miss Marlett
had known of two Vassar girls who
contracted leprosy from switches sold
them by an INSCRIPTIONS dealer, and
for that matter women would be bet
ter off without hats, for when the
time came, as she was sure 1t would,
for the abolition of hats and hair
(false), headaches and hair tonics
would both disappear.
1.-THE average woman has putty
shape" said Miss Marlett. Then she
explained that she meant a figure that
could be changed to conform with
varying fashions.
Husbands, declared Miss Marlett-
mark that ,Miss-should be trained to
do housework. Any clever woman
could so train her husband, she said,
and thus avoid the drudgery of house
hold work. Men might sneer at house.
work now, she said, but mark her
words. the time would come when
men themselves would be the house,
hold drudgeS.

MATAGALPA FACTS
NOT MADE PUBLIC
President Madriz Seriously Concerned
over the Report That Inc
surgents Have Cap
tured City

MANAGUA, Feb. 13.-President
Madriz and members of the govern
ment are seriously concerned over a
report of the taking of Matagalpa by
the insurgent general Chamorro, but,
whatever they have learned concerning
the revolution in that district, they
have not permitted any facts to be-
come public, preferring apparently to
stand on the first announcement that
the government troops had withdrawn
from Matagalpa, and that therefore no
resistance was offered to Chamorro.
This has given rise to rumor3 that
the government is making no attempt
to surround General Chamorro. who,
unless his progress Is stayed, is likely
to reach Managua soon.
Heavy artillery is being mounted on
the hills commanding Matagalpa, and
as the revolutionists are without large
guns it is believed they must be dis
lodged eventually.
General Chavarria has occupied Ac-
calica, about nine miles from Mata-
galpa, and General Lara, General Ra-
mire and General Fernando Rivas have
brought up troops from Acoyapa and
are closing in on the revolutionary
general who is now said 20 have with
him nearly 1000 men.
There is possibility that Matagalpa
will be bombarded.
An American courier, after a ride of
twenty hours has reached Managua
and has made an appeal to the Amer
lean consul, Jose Olivares. to prevent
the destruction of American property.
The consul has expressed determina-
ton to return with the courier tonlor-
row and investigate.
The steamer Managua, captured
few days ago by group of conserva-
tives affiliated with the revolutionists,
and which later was eound abandoned,
has resumed service across Lake Man
aqua, with doubled military guard.

CREAM PUFFS LURE
3 BOYS TO CRIME
Little Lads Break Window and Enter
Bakery-Penitent When They
Are Taken to the Police
Station

The yearning for cream puffs was
the reason given by three boys last
night for breaking a window and en-
tering the bakery of w. T. Barnes,
1905 South Main street. The little
fellows Shad satisfied the elmer man
and stuffed cookies, pies and cakes
underneath their shirt fronts and
were about to leave the building when
apprehended by two patrolmen.
They gave their names as Ralph
Mendoza, 151 West Fifteenth street,
George Bruce, 141 West Fourteenth
street, and Henry White, 1415 South
Hill street. White gave his age as IL
and the other two boys admitted they
were only 8 years old.
Gee, but the cream puffs were bull
ly," was the statement of youthful
Bruce, but when taken to the East
Side police station all began to cry.
Their parents were notified and it
was decided to allow the boys to re-
turn home on the stipulation they

ROADS WILL NOT
FIGHT CONTROL
BILL REGULATING COMMERCE
TO BE HEARD
INTERSTATE COMM ISSloN WILL
ACT ON ALL MERGERS
Senate Committee Expected to Follow
Policy Outlined by President
in Disposing of the
Measure

Associated Press1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-If the cal
culation of members of the senate ana
house committee on interstate COM
merce does not go amiss, the admin
istration measure probably will be un-
der discussion on the floor of congress
within a month.
Committees of both houses have prac-
ticaly completed their general hear
ings, but members of the interstate
commerce commission and Attorney
General Wickersham are still to be
heard.
Representative Mann, chairman of
the house committee, said today he
was hopeful the bill could be report
ed by his committee on March l, and
it is understood he feels equally conf
dent that it will be tagen up and fav-
orably acted upon by the house soon
afterward.
Other members of the committee ex-
press confidence, but at the same time
they complain that the hearings have
not been especially Illuminating.
The railroads, with the exception of
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
have shown a disposition to let the bill
go through without contesting 1t.
The bill will be amended in many
respects by the house committee, but it
| is already well understood that it will
cover the essential features of the
presidents measure.
AS outlined today, the bill will cover
the following points:
| First, control of the issuance of
stocks and bonds by railroads and pro-
| hibition of the purchase of competing
| lines.
| Second, a provision requiring rail-
roads to furnish their rates on appli-
cation, with a penalty for failure to
| do so.
Third, giving the interstate COM
merce commission power to suspend a
proposed rate before 1t goes into ef-
feet.
| Fourth, making effective the long
and short haul clause of the present
law, so as to forbid a higher charge
on a short haul than on a long haul.
This provision in the present law was
destroyed by decisions of the courts.
| Fifth, giving the commission power
to control the classification of freight
and of all regulations and practices
of railroad companies.
The provision for a court of COM
merce probably will not be included in
the house committee report.
The senate committee has given the
bill no consideration beyond the hear
ings, but it is believed the matter will
| be taken up seriously after the appear
ance of members of the commission.
| There is likely to be more division of
| opinion than in the house committee,
| and no one is so sure of the outcome.
| 1t is believed, however, that ultimate
| ly the bill will find its way out of the
senate committee, and the general dis
| position is to accede to the wishes of
the president

however.
Although he has detailed an officer
to work with city detectives in an eff
fort to identify the assailant, and will
parade the men, Col. Ralph w. Hoyt,
commanding the Twenty-fifth, declares
he believes Mrs. Aizada was mistaken
when she said the man who attacked
her was a soldier.
In her description of the man, Mrs.
Aizada said he wore an army over
coat and that he threw the cape of the
coat around her head. 1t is this state
ment that leads Cox Hoyt to believe
that Mrs. Aizada is mistaken. He
points to the fact that within the last
eight years no soldier in the Twenty
fifth infantry was heen supplied with an
overcoat having cape attached, and
that none of the soldiers now at Fort
Lawton possesses such a cape.
Officers at Fort Lawton say that since
the Brownsville affair there has been a
tendency on the part of people living
near the garrisons where negroes are
stationed to blame the soldiers when
ever an attack is made upon a woman.

MI: ellis was given charge of the

the person who filled in this ciche with
such personal interest is Mr.. John

handle the men and boys, seeing to
the gathering of the corr and all the
other materials that is used in the
decorations, and it has taken all of
his time in the past month to attend
to the work in hand. In the build

he has made a success of his part of
the enterprise, and that he has the
thanks of the entire populace for his
devotion to his work.
