REMEDY FOR LONG HAT PIN
Device Calculated to Cover the
Point of Mere Mans
Protest,

There is an excuse for the Introduction
In the Chicago Board OF Aldermen OF an
ordinance limiting the length of hat pins
now worn by women to hold their hats on
their heads. There is an element of danger
in the long hat pin, which women as a
rule, do not appreciate, but which men, VINO
are forced into too close proximity TO
women wearing up-to-date hats, do appre-
ciate. And many and loud are the com
plants against the use of the hat pin or
extreme length But what are women TO
doP The old-style hat pin Is useless The
size of the present hat crown necessitates
a long Din to pass through the crown and
the coiffure in order that the hat may be
maintained in position. There is remedy,
however. which American manufacturers
have not as yet introduced TO any extent,
and that is the German and French idea of
attaching a metal end, or knob, to the
point of the hat pin (much the same style
as the button on the end OF fencing folls),
which takes away that element Of danger
to the long pin, and at the same time is an
additional ornament TO the hat. While
fashion will not permit the use OF strings
to lie the hat under the chin or the reduc-
tion of the size of the hat to admit Of the
wearing Of short hat pins, and incidentally
changing the style of the coiffure, the only
alternative to cutting down the length OF
the pln to conform to the Chicago alder
mans idea, as we'll as the idea of men gen.
orally. is the use of patent hat fasteners OF
the knob above referred to.-Mi llLery Trade

GIVE THE GIRLS A SHOW
Manual Training for Boys, why Not
Millinery Training for
Girls.

Manual training in our public schools is
most excellent innovation and every
effort should be made by the public at
large TO increase its efficiency. but when
pupils OF millinery classes are TO do work
for the public at cut prices, under the
supervision OF Instructors and during
lesson periods, It is carrying the scheme of
making young women self-sustaining little
too far. The object Of manual training
schools is TO teach millinery as the meaps
OF obtaialng a livelihood, not TO turn
classes into competition with retail mill
linery establishments by conducting busl-
ness at the public expense. II some Of our

N|CARAGUAN WAR
NEARING CRISIS
State Department Only Waiting
for Madriz TO Make Some
Decisive Step.

WASHINGTON. u. C. July I5.-
The approaching crisis in Ntcara-
guam affairs. according to admissions
made to-day from authoritative
sources. has been accenruated by re-
ports of the III treatment or William
Pittman. an American. who was found
starving in an overcrowded prison In
Managua. Added to this are the
threats against American life and
property. II only requires the turn
ing of a hand to send the United
States marines back to Nicaragua TO
put an end to the chaotic condition
existing there.
Madrix is piling up a score of UNI
pleasant charges to which he will be
called on TO reply when the time
comes The forbearance of the state
department does not mean that these
have been overlooked. They include
the securing OF the release OF the
steamer Venus from New Orleans by
making alleged false statements: the
bombardment OF Prinzapuloa. an I'M
fortified town. where there are Amor
team interests: the mistreatment OF
Pittman and his removal to Managua
contrary TO the pledge given the
United States: the attempt to stir up
Anti-American sentiment in Central
and South America. the threats
against the life and property OF
Americans in Western Nicaragua and
the detention of DR.. c. A. Burgheim
as q prisoner of war without cause.

THAT COALTNG STATION

LONDON. July 15-The London
morning Post, a conservative organ,
is the first Of the English newspapers
to take editorial notice OF Kaiser
Wilhelm's action in extending official
recognition to President Madriz, ~
Nicaragua, when he knew MadrIz was
nol grata with the United States. The
Post tells fully of the German at
titude in the matter and the Anieri-
can comment thereon.
The Post declares that it's inforna-
ton comes from high German gov
eminent officials, whose names are
withheld. The Information thus OBJ
tanned by the PoEt bears out In every
detail the United Press cables from
Berlin regarding the German ats,tuoe
as to American supervision OF Ger
man diplomacy In Central and South
America.
In part. the Posts editorials say:
If there lie no reason why the EN-
peror should not have recognized
Madriz. it Is difficult for us to under
stand why Germany was so much
annoyed over the fact that the Wash
iugton government was informed OF
the recognition. Over-much indigna-
ton, we think. suggests a guilty con-
science.
That Coaling Station.
Though IL has been Officially de-
MED by Germany Ii Is naturally ru-
mored that Germany's assistance was
not given to President Madriz for
nothing. but rather with the expec-
tation that Germany would be given
a coaiing station In South American
waters,
The yossiche Zeitung. which Is
certainly in close touch with the for
eign Office, says the fact that the
United States refuses to recognize
Madriz is no concern OF Germany's.
If this represents as corroborative
evidence certainly suggests, the at
titude of the foreign office. Germany s
position is tantamount to a repudta-
ton of the Monroe doctrine"

Richmond shippers were somewhat
chagrined at news from Washington
Friday to the effect that the petition
of the Chamber of Commerce for sus-
pension Of Increased switching rates
at Richmond made by several rail-
reads had reached the interstate com
merce commission too late for action,
as the rates went into effect at mid
night and the request from the cham
Der did not arrive until early Friday
morning
This means that the shippers must

case in the usual way. If they still

mulgated the switching charges in
question some time ago. Thursday
afternoon the directors of the cham
Der, at a special meeting, discussed
the switching proposition, and it Is
believed that the Delated request was
the direct result of the meeting.
The gist of the switching charge
situatiop' appears to be that Richmond
shippers, under the rates promulgated
by the three roads mentioned. must
pay from 81 to IS. whenever car.
consigned to some non competitive
point along one OF these roads Is
switched from a siding to the main
tracks OF the road over which 1t Is
to be shipped,
ON the other hand, however, no
charge for switching is exacted~f the
car is to be shipped To some competi-
tive point.
The Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac decided some time ago to abol-
ish switching charges and are thus not
involved in the pending controversy.

TO fight the switching rates. shippers

ed to contribute toward fund to re-
tain special counsel for the purpose
II Is understood that a Philadelphia
attorney was finally employed for this
purpose but whether he has ever done
anything in the matter was not ascer-
tanned Friday following receipt OF the
news from Washington.
