RAILROADS CAM 7.
ADVANCE THEIR
FREIGHT RATES
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Denies the Necessity
TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS
Commissioner Prouty Holds That
Public Should Not Stand Res
ponslbIe for Roads Mistakes

Washington, Feb 24.-Tne inter
state commerce commission at Wash
ington decides against the railroads
in both the eastern and the western
cases The decision, eagerly awaited
by roads and shippers alike was
handed down late yesterday Pro
posed advances in class freight rates
in official classification territory ag-
gregating among all the railways in
the territory approximately $4,000
600 a year, were disapproyed by the
commission In the case involving
the increases by the railroads in ives
tern trunk line territory the COM
mission also declined to approve the
proposed advances in commodity
rates.
The carriers in both cases are re-
quired to cancel on or before March
10 their advanced tariffs and restore
their former rates, which are the
rates now in effect. If this require
ment be not complied with, the com
mission will issue a formal order sus-
pending the proposed advances and
UuNlAIE
for at least two years.
In brief, this is the disposition
made by the interstate commerce
commission OF the most important
cases ever brought to its attention.
In sense. the decisions were in
the nature of a surprise to railroad
officials and other experts who had
closely followed the proceedings. a
majority OF them believed the com
mission would grant some increase Ia
the western lines if not to the east
ern. After considering exhaustively
the whole subject, however, the com
mission could not see its way clear tC
grant any advance in rates, although
It comedies that In the case Of some
OF the roads, an increased revenue is
needed.
In the western case the carriers en-
tered a strong plea for increased rev
enue so that they might have addit
ional money to put into improve
ments and betterments, which would
enable them to meet with greater IA
cillty the constantly increasing traf
fic OF the country. The same argu
ment was advanced In support Of the
proposed advances in official classI
hcation territory; but COMMISSIONS
Prouty, who wrote the opinion in The
eastern case, says: This argumen
does not appeal to us. We doubt The
practical difficulty suggested (tha
OF obtaining by loan sufficient none.
TO finance the roads,, and were
true II is not apparent that the gen
eral public should stand responsible
for the mistakes which have beef
made in financing these railroad sys

MAKING OF YOKEss.
This Troublesome Accessory Adjusted
In This Way.

The making of yokes is not an In

| thin material cut into a straight collar
| and a peplum to cover up the bare

harassing those who make and those
who wear them.
good, stable, old fashioned yoke
that was cut by waist pattern and
was sewed in the blouse was not
One-quarter the trouble that these tiny
modern things are. They came through
the universal wearing of partly low
blouseS, a fashion which is so insist
ent that women follow it in the MAX
ing of their waists. then prepare
small yoke to put in when the waist is
worn in the street on cold days or at
any time when a low blouse is not APP
propriate.
Young girls who have the quality of
youth in their necks can wear the
cOllarless waist at all hours. but this
freedom does not sit well on every
woman. Age carries a certain degree
of dignity. and the blouse with the low
neck does not look quite well on wo-
men who have arrived at that time of
dignity,
1t is in Difference to this taste that
the majority of women who have good
neckS finish the blouse off with Il Y in
front and Il sailor collar of white or
colored chiffon cloth or a round neck
without collar and then provide
themselves with at least two yokes to
wear when occasion demands
1t is these yokes that have caused all
the trouble. How to keep them down.
how to make them smooth, how TO
have them cleaned, are Il trioogy of
questions that women ask each other
whenever they foregather.
Even when an inch or two of this
yoke shows above the neck of the
blouse it requires as much harness to !
keep it down as to keep horse in the
shafts. This harness method is as fol-
lows: The yoke is cut to the proper
depth with the collar attached. One
tape is run from the middle of the front .
to the waist line and one from the
middle of each armhole, front, to the
waist, then two down the back. one on
each side of the middle, and all Sc
curely sewed to a tight belt made OF
broad tape which hooks at the back.

1t will generally pay to put large
part of the orchard into reliable win
ter varieties. For home use apples
are appreciated more along toward
spring and will bring higher price.
An important point to consider In
selecting varieties Is quality. This Is
especially important in those grown
for home use. When the fruit is to
be shipped any considerable distance,
shipping and keeping qualities are of
first Importance, and the eating and
cooking qualities take secondary
place. Yield is also important.
Buy at the Home Nursery.
In buying fruit trees it is best to
steer clear of agents with plausible
stories of wonderful quality and yield.
Some nursery agents are honest and
conscientious, but so many are not

from the goats. The best way is to
make your selection of varieties and
then get the trees of some reliable nurs-
eryman in your own locality. If you
can go to the nursery and buy them of
the nurseryman himself so much the
better. In that case you can select the
trees yourself and be sure of getting
good ones. Thrifty one or two year
old trees, with well developed root sys-
tens, stand transplanting better and
are cheaper than larger ones.
AS soon as the trees are received
from the nursery they should be "heel
ed in" This is done by digging
trench and covering the roots and
about half of the tops with dirt. When
the trees have been shipped for some
distance it sometimes happens that
they are frozen when received. In
this case they should be placed in
some outbuildng, covered with straw
and left to thaw out gradually In
this way little harm will be done.
Preparation For Planting.
The land should be deeply plowed
before planting and well disked and
narrowed, 1t is a good practice to
