To Hold Her Veil Tight.

One girl has conceived the idea Of
running narrow beading around tho
bottom and threading 1t with baby RIB
bon. which she pins at back. Both
beading and ribbon are, of course. of
the color of the veil, and fasten under
the chin, so as to be inconspicuous.
She finds this solution of the veil
problem with low.necked blouse, as
her veil never looks either untidy or
bulky.

WILL NOT USE
LAW AS CLUB
ON RAILROADS

Beverly, Mass, July 2.-Railroad Off
cials all over the country Will breathe
easier today when they learn that the
Taft administration does not intend to
use the, new railroad law as a club
with which to hammer down railroad
rates.
The administration does not intend
to make a club of that law; it does not
desire to harass the common carriers
of the country unnecessarily by the ar
bitrary suspension of rates. Under the
law Just enacted the Interstate com.
pend any rate for eleven months pend
ing its determination of the rates just
ness. This power, regarded by soma
railroad men Is q ena to their pros
perity, will not be used arbitrarily and
Discriminatory. The commission will
invoke it only when it finds upon in
vestigation hat the facts warrant
drastic methods.
This was he conclusion reached by
President Taft and Chairman Martin
A. Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission at an hour long talk at
the Evans cottage on Burgess Point.
Mr.. Knapp, contrary to the early I'M
d~erstanding, had been summoned to
Beverly to talk over the application
of the new law with the. president. He
was able to discuss It's features, and
particularly the one granting the com
mis- sion power to suspend rates, with
tull knowledge of the situation.
The president has never thought that
the commission should hold up every
tariff proposed by a railroad. He wish
ed to see that body given, power to
apply this brake OF occasions where 1t
had to take restraining action, and
that was ali. b,
Information has come to the presi-
dent that since the law was enacted
railroad men have become afraid of
that cle use; that they feared that no
rate raised would stand a chance be-
fore tie s~crutinizing eye of the com
mission. This impression, being erro-
neous, he wished corrected and a re-
assuring note sounded.
Already the commission, 1t was
pointed out after Mr.. Knapp's visit
Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-07-02

has refused to suspend the vehicle and
auto rate. 1t refused because there
was no prima facie evidence that II
was unreasonable. This same method
will be employed In the future. IL
there Is a prima facfe case against a
proposed rate the commission will gHs-
pend and investigate further; il there
is not good ground to begin IN inveS-
tigatfon 1t probably win not do so.
While the president does not approve
of any wholesale use Of the rate sus-
pension power, he does not, on the
ether hand, think that the cries OF
alarm from Wall street have any basis
in reason. He has been informed that
there has been a lot of speculation tn
the street based upon the fears of rail-
road investors that the power Of sus-
pension meant a loss to the roads.
To the summer capital, too, have
come stories that the new law and
particularly this same clause would
frighten European investors and that
in-eonsequenee when crop moving time
come the country would suffer. This
view Mr.. Taft fails to share.
Altogether the administration Rttf-
tuds seems to be that the new law Ia
being tried out" There Is not to be
any resort to 1t In haste with repent
snce at leisure.
