The Mems Dress Reform society has
been founded in Berlin, with the OBJ
ject of bringing masculine attire to a
higher hygienic standard. The society
protests against the "air tight armor
plating" of the starched shirtfront, the
cast iron rule Of black frock coats for
weddings and funerals alike and the
general system Of dress which involves
the wearing of many tight fitting gar
ments, each overlapping the other.
The society is greatly in favor Of knee
breeches for everyday wear in place of
the conventional trousers, which, its
members declare, require great skill in
cutting and are a source of considera-
BILE trouble to the wearer. Stiff collars
and cuffs are also taboo.

France is well supplied with places
for the sale Of drink. We read in a
Paris newspaper that there is one
drinking place for every eighty per-
sons-in other words, for every thirty
men. In certain departments we find
one debit" for every thirty-six per-
sons. and in the Pas de Calais there is
one for every fifteen inhabitants,
which, in other words, means drink
shop for every seven men. In Paris
there are 10000 such places, in London

CRISIS IN WAR ON LORDS

London, July 24.-The mangled re-
mains of the veto bill, mutilated be-
yond possibility of recognition by the
peers whose powers 1t is designed to
|curtail, was presented to the house of
commons today. The members, after
a perfunctory view of the corpse, de-
clared it was not the veto bill they

nourished and cherished, and straight

the commons, on motion of the pre-
mier, rejected the lords amendments
in their entirety.
Tomorrow the crisis in the warfare
between the people and the peers will
be reached, when the commons will
resurrect the veto bill in its original
shape and will send it back to the
house of lords with the curt and bust
ness-like inquiry, What are you going
to do about it,"
Extremists among the tories have
been demanding that the fight be to

lords should force Premier Asquith 10

of cutting scrape in the bottom near

found that Hattie Taylor, a negro

penetrated the abdominal cavity near

passage of the measure they must
face new peers. Following precedent
in the reform bill contest, a letter
from the king will be the medium for
yoicing the ultimatum.
Despite the notes of defiance which
are sounded here and there by peers
with more lung than brain, the lords
have their backs to the wall and are
fighting their last hopeless battle for
the perpetuation of the old regime.
The wiser peers are seeking peace in

If the veto bill, when returned to-
morrow, should be rejected, the
agonies of dissolution of the house OF
lords would be somewhat prolonged
as such action would result in the
propagation of parliament. 1t is likely,
however, that both houses would be
summoned to meet again within the
week, when the veto measure would
be again introduced, passed as quickly
as possible by the lower house and
