A Dress Hint to the Business Girl.

The girl worker in office or shop will soon discover that plain, well-made clothes are a necessity, and that cheap fnery can never under any cir cumstanees, be made to take their place.
 With the everyday coat and skirt suit, a warm coat for chilly or rainy days will be found useful. Another necessary wrap is a waterproof coat. not one of the shapeless, sloppy things sometimes in vogue, but a neat gray, tan or navy macintosh that buttons close up to the chin, military fashion With it could be worn a small hat swathed with a bright-colored or Oriental silk scarf.
 Tawdry flowers or feathers, chiffons faces. nets and the like should have no place in the workaday wardrobe

These are for holidays, though tawdry flowers and feathers are never per missible. Fancy trimmed blouses with lace yokes should never be worn, as one or two washings make them look cheap and worn- Navy. blue serge or any cloth in a dark color is the best selection for the suit
 Footwear is one of the most import ant studies in the business girls cur riculum. She should remember that cheap boots arc the most expensive in the long run, and that quality of leather should be considered before the latest fad. Boots are better than low shoes, as they are d protection to the ankle and keep it shapely for dressy occasions.

The republican machine politicians
Of West Virginia have been making
light of the idea that West Virginia
would have any part of the Virginia
bebt to pay and even in the face of the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United states rendering a judgment
against MS for several millions we still
hear from some that it will never be
collected. The court covered that
point at the time the decision was
rendered by saying that the court had
always found ways of enforcing its de.
crees and would in this case.
The matter of interest was left by
the court for settlement between the
two states. Virginia has debt Com
mission already in existence and it is
now clearly up 10 West Virginia to act
in the matter TO make some arrange.

making a settlement without again 90

matters pertaining 10 their affairs.
1t is known the commission will
take up the decision Of the Supreme

controversy, and the question Of sd

West Virginia will consume good
part OF the day.

court. What the com mlssIou Will see
fit to do in the premises is hot known,
since they have been met with indifier-
ence on the part of the State CT West
Virginia when an effort has been made
to settle the debt without recourse to
law.
The General Assembly of the STATE
of West Virginia has been called in
extraordinary session for May 10Th by
| Governor Giasscock, and it is believed
that the real business before the body
will be the subject of the settlement of
the debt, though other matters are set
forth as more prominent in the call
than the oebt matter.
1t would seem that the next move to
be made will have to come from West
| Virginia, seeing that she has refused
to treat in the matter, declaring that
she owed the State of Virginia nothing
claiming that Virginia really owed her
a good deal of money. But the Supre-
me Court of the United States has now
held otherwise, and so decreed, and it
Is now up to West Virginia to take the
initiative. 1t is expected that the
Legislature of West Virginia will name
a commission to take up the controver-
sy with Virginia with the hope and be-
lief that an adjustment can be reached
without again having the courts re-
view the litigation. - ..-s..
The meeting of the Virginia COM
mission today is behind closed doors,
and it is understood that nothing will
be made public till after the delibera-
tons are completed.
The air of the members of the COM
mission today is that of men, who
are willing to treat with those who
have been forced to ackn owledge, either
willingly or unwillirgly, that they
have been in the wrong. Ii is not
thought that Virginia will be exacting
in her demands, but that a round sum
in full settlement will be accepted, and
this will go up to something like $780,
$50 900.

The people of West Virginia want a

ure proposed by Gasscock and Daw-

wisely by scanning II closely for politi-

There is considerable amount OF
criticism on the action of the COVER
nor in calling the Legislature together
in extraordinary session TO enact 8
state wide primary election bill and t.
amend the corrupt practice act to con-
form to the new primary law which
may be enacted.
About all the opposition and criti'
cism come from the very men whom
the people want the law to protect
themselves from, the machine politi-
clans, That class of men will never
enact primary election law for they
know that it will be the means by
which the people will throw Off the
tyranny Of the bosses and that it will
be the end of machine rule.
Both parties are committed to Civ
ing the people primary election law,
the governor has discharged his DUTY
and places the responsibility on the
legislature. The cost of the extra ses-
sion cannot be charged up TO the gov
ernor. The legislature was urged to
enact such law while it was in ses-
sion. ! he people fairly begged them to
take some action in the matter but in
obedience to the behest of the bosses in
both parties the bill was smothered in
committee and died. The same tactics
will doubtless be applied again unless
some Of the leaders who have some
state pride and patriotism at heart take
the lead and hold the bosses down tc
duty. There will be no primary elec
ton law if the leaders, OF rather the
bosses, can prevent it and if they are
forced to pass "A bill providing fol

"The Prevention of Inebriety" was
