The summer season has passed its
climax and, although it is still warm
and the highest summer toilettes are
still seasonable, the thoughts of wom-
en- begin to turn toward autumn and
the surprises in fashions which 1t
may bring. The regular fall fashions
will not be divulged until later, when
the leading houses have their au-
tumn openings, but the late summer
models are full of hints of things to-
come and new materials and trim
mings are already displayed in the
wholesale houses.
If one may judge by the imported
stuffs up to date the two-faced ma
terials are to be much in evidence
both in silks and woolens One can
find these effects in all weights from
soft, heavy, reversible cloths for mo-
tor coats to the lightest Of serges and
the supplest of satins. Just how these

seen, though in connection with the
cover-all coats the riddle is easy to
read, for already stunning coats fash
toned from the double faced stuffs
are on view, and for that matter mod
els in such materials were launched
last spring. -.....
Fellows Continue Popular.
Just what the autumn season will
have to offer in eolors cannot be stat
ed now. 1t hardly seems possible
that there are variations still to be
run upon the primal lines, but there
may be slightly different nuances of
we'll known lines and when the sea-
son is we'll along one or two shades,
will, of course, become enormously
popular. The yellows and the varf-
GUS tones Of beige, champagne, sand,
etc., have been gradually claiming
place high on the color list this sum-
mer, and correspondent we'll in
formed on the subject writes that at
least two of the famous Paris dress
makers are taking up these colors
with enthusiasm for fall uses.
Just what will be done with the
taffetas which have come into en-
phatic favor during the summer no
one seems to know. The material
has not run it's course, has not even
reached the highest point of its popu-
larity. 1t will undoubtedly be much
worn throughout the fall, but wheth-
er it will continue in vogue during
the winter is question impossible to
answer at the present time.
Chiffon Extremely Popular.
The use of chiffon for blouses has
increased tremendously since last
year. Women have learned how
graceful and becoming the chiffon
blouse is and how easily such blouse
may be slipped over different slips
to make pleasing changes with the
one coat and skirt costume. This
year some of the chiffon blouses are
used over foundations of metallic
brocade, which is wonderfully soft
and supple. The glittering brocade
of the lining is so rich in itself that
such blouses need no further trim
ming than line of gilt or dull sill
yer cord around the neck opening
and at the edge of the sleeves. Some
times double row of tiny metal
buttons is set down the front.
The craze for stenciling has now
invaded the realm of dress, and it is

: Sleeves to Fit Close.

There is growing tendency to dis
card the peasant sleeve with it's cling
ing shoulder line for a close-ftting
sleeve set into. an arms eye, and
many of the new sleeves bell out to-
ward the lower edge. Long shoulder
lines, however, will undou btedly con-
tinue for some time to come and some
waists show shoulders extending sew
eral inches down over the arm, with
the sleeve set in between shoulder
and elbow in quaint, ,old-fashioned
style. Many of the French blouses of
lingerie material have long sleeves
edged with pleated frills which fall
over the hand, a picturesque, but
rather ,untidy fashion which never
finds enthusiastic favor with women
who have some kind Of work to do.
For trot-about wear with morning
tailored suits the silk blouses with
mannish cut and long sleeves are
immensely chic. These blouses are
made of washable silk and mercer
lied pongee fabric which is very silky
and lustrous. They are perfectly
plain, with few tucks in front to
lend sufficient fulfness over the bust,
and mannish sleeves finished with
turned-back cuffs. The high turn
over collar is pinned trinity beneath
a four-in-hand tie of silk.

Flanuels for Winter Waists.

In the early fall days the shops
always show flannel shirt waists and
attractive fannels by the yard for
making up these waists for winter
wear; but flannel waists are really
too warm in our heated houses and
under fur and heavy cloth coats.
Also, they are too informal to be real
ly smart with tailored suits.
{ Women find the foulards of this
season, especially charming; they af-
ford the minimum of weight and
warmth and yet are correct for all
occasions. A woman generally looks
well-dressed when wearing a figured
foulard gown trimmed with plain
colored satin. with touches of white
or ecru lace.
Fashion insistently demands that
the collar and jabot shall correspond.
If the collar is Irish lace the jabot
must not be Cluny, or vice versa.
Whatever one is the other must be.
The willow plume seems to have
had its day and probably will make
it's final exist with the summer.

county option is shrewd political move.
Independent retail liquor dealers are
pushing bill prohibiting brewers from
owning and operating saloons or being
in any way interested in them, by pay
ing license or otherwise. This brewery
support of county option can very nice
ly be used as a club to fight the bill
against the brewery saloon. Moreover,
open support of county option by the
brewers tends to bring it in disrepute
and thus help accomplish its defeat.
If the brewers really wanted to see
county option win, they would use
their well known gum shoe methods
in supporting it instead of spreading
news of their attitude broadcast over
the state.

The United States supreme court
has just rendered a decision affirming
the validity of the corporation tax.
1t will be recalled that the income tax
passed during the last Cleveland adj
ministration was declared unconstitu-
tional because it is direct tax. and
the constitution requires direct taxes
to be apportioned among the states in
proportion to population. The present
corporation tax is a tax on the income
Of corporations How tax on the in
come of q corporation is any less direct
than tax on the income of an individ-
ual is probably puzzling to the ordinary
man. Judging from newspaper reports
of the decision, if we eliminate techni-
calities, the reason is because. I"
Evidently the court felt that the gov
eminent needs the money, and the
corporations won't miss it. The big
ones can have little extra tariff or
other compensation, and the little fell
lows don't cat much figure anyhow.

The Democrats are said to be prepar-
ing to investigate the various depart
ments of the federal government, with
view to finding out where all the
money goes. Some of them feel that a
collection of figures nicely dressed up
would make the basis for an olo-fasE :
Toned campaign against Republican
extravaganza. The investigation is
all right, and here's success to the in
vestigators. If crooked things are
found they should be shown up. The
fact that recent Republican admins
trations have spent lot of money,
however, does not prove anything.
Expenses of government are bound to
increase, for the simple reason that
people are insisting on the government
doing more things than formerly. Ex-
travagance is not measured by the
amount of money spent, but by the
method of spending it. The famous
Gear" Reed remarked in response to
the charge that he was leader of a
''billion dollar congress, that this had
grown to be "billion dollar country. "
Since Reeds time we have become
familiar with 1.-TWO billion dollar" con-
crosses, and the end is not yet. By all
means investigate, but don't think the
people can be stirred up by recital of
large sums spent.

The .News-Budget was in error last
week in stating that the curfew law
was repealed during the Tom Baker
administration. Mayor Baker believed,
as we believe, that if law is not in
tended to be enforced it had better be
repealed, and not simply remain as a
dead letter only to be executed at rare
intervals for petty spite. The PROPOSE
ton to repeal the ordinance, however,
aroused so much opposition that it
was dropped. The ordinance is still in
force as part of Chapter 5, ''Offen-
ces Against Public Morals and Decen-
cy," and reads as follows:
Section Is. 1t shall be unlawful
for any boy or girl under the age of
fourteen Q4) years to be on the streets,
alleys, public grounds or places in the
City of Ladysmith, between the hours
of o. clock p. m. and 6 o'clock a. m.
unless accompanied by some person of
lawful age having him or her in charge,
or, unless upon some errand by per-
mission or direction of his or her par
ent, guardian or employer. He or she
shall not loiter on the way then or
make noise by shouting nor in any
manner disturb the peace of the city.
Any such boy or girl who shall violate
any of the provisions of this section
shall, upon conviction thereof, be ad-
judged to pay a fine of not less than
one ~ dollar nor more than ten (10) dol
lars and the costs of prosecution and to
be imprisoned in the County Jail of
Rusk County until such judgment be
paid, not exceeding, however, che term
of ten days.
Section IA. The City Marshal shall
cause the hour of 8 o'clock p. m. to be
designated by ringing the firebell 9

all police officers or watchmen to ar
rest without process any boy or girl
found violating Section 13 of this

machinery of war was never SO expen4
sive in the past nor SO dreadful. War
equipment today, in time of peace, is
more expensive than of old in time of
war. A standing army costs more to
maintain than it used to cost to con-
quer an empire. 1t is more expensive
to be ready to kill than it used to be to
do the killing. The price of dread
nought would furnish the whole army
of Xerxes with killing weapons. And,
in spite of its magnificent equipment,
war no longer kills as it used to when
its methods were simpler. A lombard
ment by modern feet has been known
to result in the killing of one mule.
The casualties of twentieth century
war between two world powers are
such as to make worker in an iron
foundry turn green with envy. War
has become u joke. Men have made
for themselves monsters of battle
which they cannot face in battle. Sub
sistence is generous these days, life is
not cheap and it is not in the nature of
flesh and blood to indulge in the car
mage made possible by present day ma
chinery. This is not theoretical. as will
be shown by comparison of deaths
in battle and men involved, in the
South African war and the Spanish
American war on the one hand and the
civil war or the Napoleonic wars on
the other.
Not only has war, by its own evolu-
ton, rendered itself entirely futile, but
man himself, with greater wisdom and
higher ethics, is opposed to war. He
has learned too much. War is repug-
nant to his common sense. He con-
ceives it to be wrong, to be absurd,
and to be very expensive. For the
damage wrought and the results ac-
complished, it is not worth the price.
Just as for the disputes of individuals
the arbitration of civil court instead of
a blood feud is more practical, so, man
decides, is arbitration more practical in
the disputes of nations. Jack London
in the Forum.

Administration leaders do not seem
to be entirely agreed as to just why
the army of $4,000 was sent to Texas.
Taft said it was in order to give the
soldiers practice in mobilization. Sec
rotary of War Dickinson says that it
was to maintain the neutrality laws.
We may expect Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson to announce that the pur.
pose was to wage war on the Texas
cattle tick and the Secretary of the In
terror to ascribe the movement to q
desire to prevent the cactus buds from
shooting. There seems to be lack OF
harmony since Aldrich quit the job.

THE UNCL. Fan
SPEECH

Obscenity has been called the sewer
age of the soul. 1t is not that, for it
generates all that it throws off, and in
turning it off generates still more. The
vulgar utterance is more polluting to
the mind that originates it than it is
even to the mind that receives it. The
loud, loose laugh it invites is fitting
complement to it.
Observe and you will note that the
laugh which follows an obscene jest
never has the true ring Of merriment.
The finer sensibilities revolt and put
into it tone of harshness.
1t is not uncommon to hear men ex-
press regret that they are never able
to bear in mind for repetition stories
they have heard and considered choice
ly indicate. They ought to be glad
of it. The mental and moral excellence
lies in forgetting them as soon as the
brief forced laugh is over.
Nobody ever thought more of you be-
cause of unclean speech. Itnever made
you think better of yourself, and 1T
never will. = Superior Telegram
