MAXWELL
W|THDRAWS FROM
POSTAL RATE BOARD
Cincinnatian Unable to Serve
Because of Express Com
pany Affiliations.

President Taft has received a letter
from Lawrence Maxwell, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, asking to be relieved OF the duty
OF serving on the Postal Rate Commits
sion, which is to inquire into the cost
or handling second-class matter, with
particular reference to magazines. The
President has accepted Mr.. Maxwell $
withdrawal from the commission.
Soon after the Cincinnati lawyer was
appointed to serve on this board with
Associate Justice Hughes and President
Lowell, of Harvard University. it be-
came known that he was the regularly
retained counsel for the Adams Express
Company in Ohio.
At once this seemed to disqualify Mr..
Maxwell for the commission, for the
reason that the express companies are
perhaps the most interested parties con-
cerned in the investigation, excepting
the Postoffice Department and the mag
azine publishers.
1t became apparent. therefore. that If
Mr.. Maxwell sat on this commission un-
der these circumstances the judgment of
that body would be weakened before
the country and before Congress. This
was believed to be true regardless of Mr..
Maxwelrs high personal character and
his recognized ability as lawyer.
In connection with the letter just re-
ceived by the President. 1t is said by
Maxwell's friends that he has not want
ed to serve on this board. and that he
has welcomed this excuse for retiring.
The President is expected TO pick a
successor to the Cincinnati member in
a few days. 1t is believed that this
matter consumed most Of the time OF
the commission, which held its first seq
sion yesterday afternoon at the White
House

A ND now it's the bag mania
"A Women seem to have
gone made over bags-and
such bags they are! Gigantic in
size, yet so fiat and thin that they
will hold hardly more than a hand
kerchief.
In Paris every costumer is turn
ing out bags, each larger and fat
ter and thinner than the last, to be
worn with its particular gown.
These giant bags have yards of
cord or braid for handles and are
Elung over the shoulder, reaching
nearly TO the floor. In fact, one
sees them dragged along the
ground with their dangling ropes
or straps.
These really absurd bags-or
Sacs, as they are now properly
called-must be fat and appear to
be empty, although one may be
allowed to tuck ones handkerchief
and bit of a purse in at one side,
where there is a little pocket for
the purpose. You may take your
sac shopping. but you must never
use 1t for parcels; that would
never do. Perhaps a few tempting
samples may be tucked in along
with the handkerchief and NINA
ture purse, but that is all.
And these bags are as varied as
they are numerous-no two are alike.
They are Of every shape and ma
terial and decorated in every
imaginable manner.
One sees them of suede, of chit
fon, of velvet, of lace, of satin, OF
linen. of chintz and cloth of gold,
of fur and knitted worsted, OF
feathers and rawhide and snake
skin and tapestry You can't name
q material that has not already
been utilized in their making, and
every country under the sun is
madly at work turning out bags
for fashionable women, and we are
getting them from Japan and India,
Mexico, Norway and Russia, to say
nothing of the girls working night
and day in the Paris shops TO NIL
the demand.
You may wear a hat a whole
sason and not tire of it, but a bag
gets on ones nerves at the end of
a few weeks, and one needs a
change. So this is why the bag
industry fiourishes, and French peo-
pie forget the threat of war from
Germany in their eagerness to make
a future SEWN gsacs to frantic wo
men.

tried to foist upon them. But
even the novelty-seehng dealers of
New York and Chicago separated

modes were very picturesque, but
not at all fitted TO the exigencies

ious buyers, and all agreed that a
block like this was not good for a
hat; 1t was going a little too far
And so these scattering shapes
are left on the hands of-the Paris
artists, and they will either have
to foist them of on the Russians,
who are the next easy marks to
Americans, or utilize them among
the vaudeville artists who are seek

And as the craze for bags in.
creases so does their size, and they
are worn gigantic in some instances
out OF all proportion, in TACT
and in some cases are quite un-
wieldy.
Most of the bags are graceful
things, and may be handled grace
fully, but when they are so gigan-
tic they lose all possibility of grace,
although the French woman is skill
full enough to play charmingly even
with her large sac, behind which
she can hide herself completely If
she so desires.
Fringe and tassels and balls and
embroidery decorate the new bags,
and one cannot get them too ornate,
no matter how lavish the garniture
may be.
But this is quite enough for a
craze that has really nothing to
recommend it, except that 1t mo-
mentarily satisfies a craving for
the bizarre.
To-day am illustrating for your
consideration what seems to me a
very effective use of velvet and

About Egg Production

The Standard OF Perfection tells us
that we have 1O4 different breeds and
varieties OF pure.br chickens; but
SO far as egg production Is concerned
there is no pure-bred chicken. In
other words, they are all mongrels so
far as egg.production Is concerned.
We have only one breed OF chickens
or no breed. They l. re pure-bred
so far as feather. color and shape are
concerned. The different breeds have
an ancestry along these lines. Their
offspring show tHty per cent OF those
characteristics inherited from their
parents; at any rate In admitting a
new breed to the Standard the poul-
try association guarantees that hfty
per cent OF the offspring have the
OF their parents. But
nothing is said OF egg yield.-Field
