not to be assigned to private interests

Asks TOR oral Arguments.

Solicitor General Bowers today
asked the Supreme Court for permis-
sion for the government to sUbmii
oral arguments and Lr.efs in the Ner-
mont case.
At the same time Mr.. Bowers ask
ed that the case be advanced Tor
an early hearing.
Mr.. Bowers said in his brief that
among the specific questions OF high
est Importance. which are involved in
the general inquiry concerning the
constitutionality Of the taxing law are
these:
Whether the tax is direct in the
constitutional sense and is void be-
cause not apportioned among the
states In proportion to their popula-
ton.
Whether the tax Improperly inter-
feres with the general taxing power
of the state to create corporations.
whether the tax Is invalid in so
far as the net income of corpora
ton may be attributable to state or
municipal bonds held by the corpora
ton as part of its business capital.
Whether the tax IS invalid in rhe
case of public service corporations
chartered by a state.
Whether the taxing act makes an
improper distinction between corpora
ticns on the one hand and partner
ships and individuals on the other
hand. engaged in the same business.
Whether the exemptions enumerat-
ed in the statute are susiainahle."
Chief Justice Fuller inquired if the
tax could not be refunded If later II
Yves declared invalid. The solicitor
replied that such a course might be
a great burden on the parties coz
cerned.
The court took the matter under
advisement-

Swiss fabrics are often worn with
a colored slip.
Sometimes the Dutch neck is out
I lined with tiny rosebuds of chiffon.
Huge insects, which cover the en-
tire front of a low-necked bodice, are
| embroidered in oriental colors or
picked out with beads or jet.
A great many detachable frills and
pleats are in vogue so that white
waists may be worn with different
colored skirts and harmonic with
them all.
Very practical are the one-piece
sailor suits made of the black and
white checked linens. Emblems en-
broidered in red are on the sleeves
and shield.
The selvedge, not only of wool,
plays a conspicuous role in dressmak-
ing. Some of the new materials have
wide ribbon edges of the same con-
trasting color.
Patent leather ties, with suede
vamps in lighter shades, are worn on
the street. With these stockings are
worn that match the walking cos
tune exactly.
Dog collars, whether a simple band
of velvet fastened with a more or less
elaborate buckle or made up of
strands of pearls, coral or jet, are ex-
ceedingly smart.
With the barnyard trimmings,
which are SO much sought for, the
straw braid was so coarse that one
wonders that they hang together
are the first choice.
A piece of old chantilly lace which
is too much broken for ordinary use
can have the figures cut out and ap-
pliqued on a chiffon gown, thus maxi
ing it very elaborate.
A simple finish for a black gown
may be nothing more than narrow
band of coral color attached to the
low round neck with a fagoting
stitch. Similar bands trim the sleeves.
There are two kinds of hat pins
offered to those who care much about
the very new things in style. One
is made of ivory, the other of Irish
lace flowers. The former is expen-
sive, the latter is not.
Handbags, and purses, too, are
made of linen to match the suit with
which they are carried. Generally,
though not always, they are braided,
embroidered or embellished Nth
other handwork.

THE SPANISH HAT.

The Spanish toreador gives a sug-
gestion to some alert milliners, and
although modified in many instances
it stands out as a hint of CASTLE. In
red straw one Of those new shapes
have been developed, and if a dark
haired woman be fortunate enough
to own it, there will be an irresistible
effect gained.
The Spanish hat can be made with
wide turned-up brim, approaching the
turban in shape, or there can be only
an inch or so at the turned edge.
In many models velvet is used as
facing, while a fine silk canvas or
striped taffeta is also effective.
To be strictly Spanish, pompons
of straw, so fine that the appearance
closely resembles cut ostrich feathers,
should be used. Black or red is very
becoming on a straw hat.
A departure from the accepted
trimming, however, can be made by
any of the variations of the cabochon
Net, pleated and surrounding a dull
jeweled ornament, or silk fringe in
circular form, looks extremely well at
the side.
Of course, there is only certain
type of beauty that should flaunt the
Spanish hat, but when possessed, the
toreador hat is happy choice.-Phil.
