PUBLIC is PROTECTED.

Il is suspected that the present
electric light company is trying 20
propagate a theory that regulation is
better for the people than competi-
ton. II can laugh at regulation and
is probably at this moment laughing
at the futile attempts Of Wilmington
to regulate II on the strip ticket mat
ter which It has thrown into long
litigation. Wilmington is whipped on
this proposition on the nrst crack out
of the box. There Is nothing so posi-
tive in results as competition, especi-
ally II It is continuous. The Public
Utilities Light. Heat and Power Com
pany will go into the electric lighting
field for continuous competition as
will be shown in its franchise in
which It will protect the public from
any unforeseen situation or mergers

Fashions and Fads by M. E. CiIIey

F1ounces again.
Scarfs are still worn.
Sashes are brilliant and daring
Deep collars are seen on walking
suits.
Black lace gowns will be in high
favor.
Young girls will only wear fringe
on sash ends.
We notice an extraordinary num-
Der Of velvet hats.
For the house the Marie Antoinette
fchu is all the rage
Black and white will remain in and
we shall see more Of it.
Feathers are in great demand, and
are graceful and becoming.
The newer petticoat models show
plated fiounces topped by silk fringe.
Lace gowns are revived and lined
with black OF colored chiffon and
satin.
Fringe in long silk strands is on
everything-gowns, coats. sashes and
bags
White velvet hats or picturesque
shapes Of white felt with many wings
are new.
Big collars of lace or embroidered
muslin almost hide some of the little
silk coats.
Sleeves are either quite long OF ex-
tend Just below the elbow in the new
est blouses.
White satin veiled with Chantilly
Evening journal., 1911-10-17

makes up some of the richest gowns
of the season.
Tartan plaid sashes and trimmings
OF surah are announced for brighten
ing up dark blue dresses.
All skirts Of evening gowns and for
dressy afternoon functions will be
made with small. slender trains.
Marabou hats In white with black
velvet facing have appeared in the
high-class milliners very recently.
Thick ribbed voile. almost corduroy
in appearance. is used in some Of the
handsome imported costumes.
In the tailor-made waists the trim
ming is severe and consists mostly
in mere bands and simple straps.
Purple in panne velvet is likely to
be extensively used for evening
wraps, combined with Venetian lace,
ermine or white fox.
The revival of artificial flowers for
corsage bouquet and garlands of
small flowers on evening gowns is be-
coming a popular fad.
Velveteen cords are a novelty
black and white grounds, for instance,
with gray cords. Both these, too.
come in plain colors.
For early fall the predominating
fashion will be the small and medium
sized leather bags with handles OF
moderate length.
For fall travelling loose one-piece
and Empire cloaks of surah, alpaca
and silk warp gloria are made by
French tailors.
Side-pleated ribbons, generally with
| colored edges, are new and very
popular trimming on dresses and
some times on hats.
The fichu drapery OF the bodice is
being used for evening and even for
afternoon wear, with the V-shaped
opening at the neck.
Toques and turbans In two colors
are very smart and may be of all cloth
or felt or combined with satin velvet
or heavy ribbed silk.
Draped effects appear in turbans
and toques and small hats galore;
| these are most attractive in the long
haired cloth and ribbed silk.
Fichus are seen In every possible
soft material, from chiffon to handker-
chief lawn, from wash net to en-
broidered or alloxer lace.
The tiny coats attract now. They
| are made amusing by their quaint lit
tie basques and their lige which is
shorter in the front than at the neck.
We are most assuredly to retain
the slim. clinging draperies OF the
First Empire that have proved so sue
cessful during the past 10 months.
There is a new version Of the ki-
mono waist which is draped In soft
folds so that there seems 10 be no
break between bodice and sleeves.
The new evening sets OF scarf and
muffs are all the delicate tints OF the
rainbow, and have hints Of ostrich in
their fluffy marabou depths.
Flonnces are again In fashion for
walking skirts of heavy fabrics, but
they are without fullness The division
at the side continues popular.

VALUE OF A FRANCHISE.

Franchises granted TO a concern to
enter into competition with one al
ready holding a franchise is worth
nothing unless 1t is used. Original
franchises are worth money and when
the original holders of them got their
profits they sold out. To a concern
which only intends to capitalize itself
for the real money put into the plant
and not issue bonds on its franchise
to people who are not familiar with
such matters. a franchise is merely
a license to use its own money
i'm business. The Public Utilities
Light, Heat and Power Company is
willing to do this and also to save
the public perhaps 100000 a year in
electric lighting bliss

The success of Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots

FAVOR REGULATION.

Every monopoly will tell you that
1t favors regulation. If regulation
was all they had TO fear they would
have plain sailing. But competition
reaches the spot without costly litiga-
tion or the aid of the courts. Be-
side, If regulation will regulate. it
will regulate two companies as we'll
as one, and after the Public Utilities
Light, Heat and Power Company has
been granted its franchise 1t will DO
Just as much subject to the proper
authorities as any other public SER
vice corporations

KEIFFER CROP
LARGE THIS YEAR

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. Oct. 17--Keiffer pears
are more numerous and of a larger
size this year than ever known, and
they are now largely grown all over
the central peninsula While the
wonderful and unexpected abundance
OF the pears caused prices to fall so
that the average ran from 8 to 16
cents the basket, yet many growers,
by allowing their fruit TO remain on
trees and ripen are reaping much
larger returns because of the fine size
and more pear" results One grower
near Crumpton, who had pears of
extra fine size. received twenty cents
the basket for his entire crop. They
are easily harvested and shipped. as
they can be unloaded into a freight
car in bulk If desired.

tHf1ONABLE FROCK
,,,,,,i IN GUIMPE STYLE


~ IN GUIMPE STYLE
The frock that can be worn over
any guimpe is a practical and service
able one. This model is pretty and
attractive as well. In the illustra-
ton IL is made Of striped wool ma
terial with trimming of silk, but any
two harmonizing materials can be
used. Checked or striped material
with plain is always pretty, or check
ed or striped could be cut on the
straight for the main portions, on the
bias for the trimming portions. Poplin
is a favorite material OF the season
and poplin with velvet would make
an exceedingly handsome frock. Light
weight serge is excellent material for
little girls dresses and just now II is
being trimmed with broadcloth. Blue
serge with broadcloth in a deep cream
or champagne color is fashionable and
always pretty. The blouse is made
with upper and lower portions. The
upper portion is cut all in one piece
and includes the sleeves. but the front
and back OF the lower portion sare
separate and scanned at the under
arms. The skirt is five-gored and the
shaped trimming portion is arranged
over the lower edge. If plain frock
is wanted the trimming portion of the
skirt can be omitted and the blouse
can be made all of one material, the
connecting seam being covered with
banding.
For a girl of - years of age will be
required 3 1-2 yards of material 81

TO ARRAIGN
|. B. OWEN IN
COURT TODAY
WHITE MAN INDICTED FOR MUIR
DER IN FIRST DEGREE WILL
BEGIN FIGHT FOR LIFE IN CIR
CUT COURT DURING TopAY,s
SESSION - CLAIMS SELF-DE-
TENSE,

Louis B. Owens, white, who was in
dicted by the grand jury this week on
the charge of murder in the first de-
gree, will be arraigned before the cir
cult court on this charge today. He
will be represented by Jones & Pasco.
Owens Is charged with killing Claude
Stacey, another white man, at the
home of the latter near Atmore a few
months ago. Owens came to this city
and surrendered to the authorities i'm
mediately after the shooting of Stacey,
and when he was given a preliminary
trial entered plea of self defense and
was bound over to the criminal court
under a heavy bond, which he readily
made.
At the time of his arrest Owens said
that Stacey was renting a farm from
him and the trouble between the two
men originated from a difference over
by the dead man. The defendant
claims that on his way to Atmore
from his home on the day of the kill
ing as he was passing the home of
Stacey he stopped to talk the matter
over with him. He claims that while
they were talking, over the fence,
Owens being outside and Stacey in
side, the deceastd attacked him and
started toward him with pillow tool in
a threatening manner, whereupon he
drew revolver and shot him down.
This Is substantially the evidence
which he introduced at his preliminary
trial, and which 1t is supposed will be
introduced in his fight for life in the
circuit court.
