WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON. D. c., February 5, 1910,
THE greatest anxiety prevails among
: thinking men in the administration,
including the leaders Of Congress, regard
ing shs forthcoming decision Of the So.
preme Court of the United States in the
case Of the American Tobacco Compdny.
II the decision Of the lower court is sus.
tanned it will mean the appointment of a
receiver for the tobacco trust. The di.
rectors of that great corporation will be
discharged from further responsibility
and receiver will assume charge of its
affairs, not for the purpose of administer
ing them in the interest of stockholders,
but for the purpose of winding up the
affairs OF the company of disposing Of its
assets, presumably to the highest bidder
and Of casting adrift on the financial sea
the integral parts. Of that great aggregation
Of concerns. This will inevitably result
in fearful loss to those who. own the
securities OF the organization. Moreover,
the affirmation by the court OF last resort
Of the principle involved will leave the
administration no alternative but immed-
iatsly TO institute suits against practically
every concern which has been Constructed
on similar lines. 0ie does not need TO
be pessimist to see condition border
ing on industrial chaos as result of the
disinteRration Of the chief corporations
Of she country. But if they are found to
exist in violation Of the Law they must
come down aud it is President Taft's be.
lief that il is far better to see some chaotic
conditions for q short time than to allow
the illegal corporations to obtain q grasp
upon she country which might never be
shaken of.

New YoRK-The pretty fabrics and hat

make woman realize that it, won't be
long now until spring is here and every.
one is planning for new clothes.
Drapery Style Continues
One can have dress lengths OF new cot
tons, foulards or other flexible. materials
made up after any of the pretty ankle,
or knee, draped skirt models, and be as
sured that these will continue good style
until autumn atleast. Modified princess
and Moyenage types are coming in, in
the latest Paris importations. The XII
mono waists with sleeves cut in one with
the bodice are revived in Paris models as
are also the short plain skirts Of two sea-
sons back.
Russian Coats and Suits
The Russian bloused coat is the leading,
type in suits for Spring and Summer wear,
though there are many others, rather
more closely fitted than those now, worn,
and short for the most part. Skirts have
yokss and pIeatings in various forms,
though our old short plain skirts are seen
on the very latest arrivals from Paris.
Top Coats and Costumes
For top or extra coats. the coat.suit is
presented in especially pretty desigDs and
promises to be- more popular than it was
last autumn These take the place Of
dress, orcover one, and are both smart
and practical. The Russian models are
quite as good for extra coats Of silk, or

models of cheviots or plaids have collars
of burnt orange, scarlet or Lincoln green.

often appears in August, and from. then
on the potatoes haye grown 80 bushels
week when the foliage was preserved.
7. The tuber production is increased,
due to increase in the size of the tubers
and: the number Of; tubers per plant.
Jones & Morse, of Vermont, show that
the average yield for 1S years without
spraying was III bushels per acre, while
sprayed plants yielded 286 bushels per
acre, or an average annual gain of l15
bushels per acre.
8. The dry matter is increased.
8. Starch formation in the tuber is con.
siderably increased. At Geneva Expert
mental Station an increase OF 770 was
obtained.
10. Where there is no disease the yield
may be increased by spraying, due to in
creased vigor of the plants. In the YER
ment Experimental Station in 1900 the
yield was increased 7S bushels per acre
by spraying, although blight did not
occur that year.
AtGeneva Experiment. Station in 1908
spraying potatoes s times gave an increase
of 80 bushels per acre over 8 times, and
three aprayings increased the yield SS
bushels per acre over no spraying. At
Cornell Experiment Station one appli-
cation of Bordeaux mixture, and three of
Bordeaux mixture and Paris green in-
creased the yield lO3 bushels per acre,
while anotheryear six sprayings increased
the yield 4S bushels per acre. At. Ver-
mont Experiment Station two applica-
tions have in general proved most profit
able. The Geneva Experiment Station
recommend, as the result of their trials
of the year 1904. that spraying commences
when the plants are to 8 inches tall, and
thorough applications to be made at in.
tervals of 10 to IA days during the season,
making to applications in all.

Ii is planned that the investigation of
ths cost of living contemplated by the
Senate will not include "hearings" from
great multiplicity Of witnesses. The
existing instrumentalities Of the govern
msnt will be utilized to procure the facts.
The great army of employees from the
Department of Agriculture will be used
to procure and present in available form
the facts F4garding prices received by the
initial producers and to this army may
also be entrusted the collection OF data
regarding the prices at which such pro.
ducts are sold by commission men. The
Department Of Commerce and Labor will
be used to secure the cost Of manufacture,
ceiling prices at the mill and so on. In
this way it is believed the information
can be quickly procured and an analysis
and report made before Congress adjourns.
Senator Lodge, the author OF the Senate
resolution, is of the opinion that the.
will show that the prices.
Throughout ibe world have increased as a

Powdered Precious stones Once
Taken as Medicine.
Stones OF healing as they used 10 be
called. may not have been quite such
fakes as skepucal moderns think. Al
least a writer In the Lady's Pictorial IN
clines to believe that there have been
some foundation for the faith once placed
in them. He points out that every gem
is the focus Of a light ray, and it is note
worthy that the traditional attributes OF
Jewels are quite along the line OF later
scientific ideas. The amethyst and the
sapphire. prisms OF the soothing violet
and blue ray. have ever been considered
calming in their influence, while the ruby,
the bloodstone. &c, have always been
said 10 exercise the rouslng. stimulating
effect of the red ray.
Gems are highly electric. The chrys-
alite acts on the magnetic needle and this
presupposes the radiation OF living force
from Jewels. so strongly insisted upon In
ancient and medieval writings. Precious
stones applied externally or internally
formed an accepted part Of the medical
pharmacopoeia in ancient and medieval
times"
An ancient and costly jewel compound
was "the five precious fragments" con-
slsting of powdered rubies. topazes, en-
eralds, sapphires. and hyacinths. A ia
NOUS French confection OF I12 was
composed of jacinth. coral, sapphire,

Powder OF rubies was usually taken in
doses Of thirty to forty grains ito
strengthen the vitals and restore lost
strength and also prevent infection.
Sapphires are highly electric; there was
powder of sapphire and oil Of sapphire;
some prepare sapphire with
