VELVET NECKBAND
CHIC NOW APPEALS
IRtGRSifieS the Snow Of a
Pretty Neck

New York, Aug. 23.-One has moth
ing but praise for the efforts which
are being made to reintroduce the
black velvet neckband. The fashion
of low-necked dresses for day wear
is by no means universally becoming,
though few seem to allow considera-
lions of this nature to weigh with
them.
Tiny diamond clasps are very be-
coming in effect, and the smalIness
of the stones used renders the orna-
ments possible for day wear
Not Necessarily Black.
They are equally charming on col
ored velvet and one recently seen at
a resort was of a deep orange, worn
with an evening turban OF orange
gauze, adorned with a jeweled oprey
in front. No doubt before long We

vet bracelets in the true Victorian
manner, for the Paris jewelers. are
said to be showing them, though they
have not yet caught on"

Then we may expect a revision to
hair rings and lockets. After all,
we have virtually succumbed to the
side-curl, for, though we may not re-
alize it, the present mode of hair dres-

ly up-to-date-and whodoesnt?-ls
quite frankly of the time of Lely aud

to those who wish to indulge in il;

and if you find that it has nothing
of the upward tilt, be advised and re-
frain.

When Henry Beattie left Jail yes
terday gor the beginning of his trial
be was smiling and creerful.
At his special request the car con-
veying him was driven up Hill street
on its way to the court house. Be
fore leaving Manchester, Scherer or
dered the car to stop in front of a
furniture store, that he might pur-
chase two chairs. No sooner had the
car stopped than Beattie was sur
rounded by large number of &C
quaintances, all of whom he recog-
nized and spoke to by name.
Among the friends he recognized a
life insurance agent Jocularly the
prisoner called out to him and asked
him if he would give him policy for
$4,000.
ION second thought" said Beattie,
you had better make it 100000"
The agent made no reply, but Beat
tie wasn't bit embarrassed. He
smiled and the crowd laughed.
The car was then restarted and
driven rapidly to the court house. All
along the route Beattie recognized
and shouted to acquaintances who
seemed to be waiting along the road
side for him to pass. To those in the
car he spoke cheerfully.
This morning drive ic great" he
told Scherer. q like the fresh air,

ATTACKS ON jews
BY Welsh Rioters
.ARti-SGmitiC Troubles Follow
In Wake Of Strike

London, Aug. 23.-Just as the gov
eminent succeeded in dispelling the
clouds in the labor situation a new
danger to the public peace has set N
as result of the unrest following in
the wake of the railroad and shipping
strikes, and today Great Britain faced
the problem of putting down anti-Jew-
ish riots which have broken out in
South Wales.
Armed soldiers were thrown into
the Welsh towns of Tredegar, Tbbow
Vala and Rhymney, where Jewish
shops had been looted residences
broken into and Jewish residents in
suited. The worst rioting has taken
place in Tredegar, which is practical
ly under martial law today.
Mob violence increased there to
such an extent that the soldiers had to
resort to the bayonets. Scores We're
hurt in the fighting and the damage to
property will amount to hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Home Secretary Winston Churchill
promised to protect the lives and in
terests of Jewish subjects and with
the impetuosity which characterizes
many of his public acts, had strong
detachments of troops under way in
to the danger zones to reinforce those
already on hand.

But to our mind thera Is no hope for the admission of Arizona as a state un- der the proposed constitution with its ultra-radical provision for the recall of the judiciary. which provides a means of overriding the laws of the land by an excited public clanaor.
 Governor Sloan, Hon. B. A. Fowler and ex-Attorney General E. A.

VOTE AS YOU

Whether one likes 1t or not the people are holding more elections than they used to. Direct pr maries are in themselves elections The initiative and referendum call for elections. Charter amendments and constitutional amendments imply elections.
 So elections should be simple and cheap as well as honest
 This thing of hay ng two or three hundred precincts with many hun dred election clerks and judges and one day for voting Is e1travagsnt and too hurried It opens the door for fraud against the strongest pol ice precautions. It disfranchises many citizens.
 There should be one central place for voting where the citizens could go as they go to pay their taxes. The city hall would be the proper place. The polls should be open for a week or two weeks. And the qual fled citizen who refused to vote with that opportunity should be pen alized in some way-say by a poll tax that voting would have exempt ed him from Iaying. ssys the Port. land Oresonian.

In th's case there is 10 remote possibility of explosion from intsrnal causes and 1t is there fore only reasonable to assume that the crime was committed by those whose enmity has been incurred by tke attitude Of the firm upon the labor question The outrage Is par ;icular!y deplorable in view of the wonderful energy of young Een who have practical knowledge of the la- bsrsr's side of the question, who were not primarily favored with large means ard who have been par tieularly eonSIderate of the laborins man The latest outrage teaches us thas the matter is not one which ts1ehss enly those who have so far steeS tle brunt Of the trouble.
