SENATOR BROWN OF NEBRASKA, MAKES STIRRING SPEECH IN EFFORTS TO KILL RECIP-
 ROCITN
KENYON MAKES A HI
Senator From Iowa Says "We Are None! Madf With No Pocket
 In the Shr0ud.

Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska, Republican insurgent and member ot the Progressive League, leaped off the reservation today and ran among his brother Progressiyes who have vainly sought to stem the tide that is carrying Reciprocity to victory.
 Senator Brown simply turned back to the records of 1909 and read the speeches of LaFollette, Cummins, Bristow, Clapp, Nelson and McCum- Der, in which they steadily upheld the principle which they now de- nounce. There wasn't any malice about it-it was a plain matter ol facts but it made the dwindlng group of Insurgents look meek and foolish and gave further evidence of the wreck of the promising cause. In manner that was only thinly conceal ed, Senator Brown replied to Senator LaFollette's recent sensational at tack on President Taft.
 It was bad day for Insurgency l Il around for in addition to lnsur- gent Browns rampage, Works of Cal ifornia, likewise an lnsurgent, also leaped on board the Reciprocity band wagon and delivered a jab at Dat'oi- lette as he sped past. Finally Stone, of Missouri, in a good old Democratic outburst, lined the Insurgents up against. the wall with the followers of the Lumber and Paper Trust and peppered them with invectives.
 Kenyon of Iowa, raised the lone voice against Reciprocity; but in his opinion he struck a note that echoed with a crash through the Senate 1 chamber. Tn voice prophetic, ne said:
 "We are living in an eXtravagant 1 age. We are money mad and raclhs 1 through life at a neck breaking pace, billing up fortune after fortune, men with millions striving for more, neV- CT stopping to think that there Is no pocket in the shroud. The rich are Haunting their riches in the faces ol the poor. We see $120,o00 organ at the opening of millionalre's nome in New York and long line of nun gry men at midnight in the same city | constituting the bread line.

"o"iu that we might get away rom the racking. never ceasing, wearing coiii- m,rcialsm of the day and think lests of acquiring wealth.
 Besides holding up the lncohsie- itencies of the Insurgent associates and defending President Taft agalhs. the attacks that have been maoe up on him, Senator Brown paid hls r1- spects to Hines, of the Lumber lrus'' who put Lorimer "over'' in this fash- ion:
 "Permit me to call the attention of the Senate to the fact that the 1 head and front of the proposltloh 'o i the impending measure is and mas 1o, tho Tnmber Trust of this coun- try. aided and assisted by the intei- national Paper Company, commonly known as the Paper Trust, wh'ch IS in fact the most selfish and lmpfu- dent Trust of he age

ANXIOUS TO LEARN

At the teachers agencies here II is
said that the demand for more and
better teachers is accompanied by In
creases in the cost OF tuition. This
Is especially true OF the private
schools. especially the boarding
schools
Two or three years ago" said one
teachers agency manager, "a boy
could be sent to very good boarding
school for 5000 or $500 a year. Now
the average charge at such institu-
tions is 500 or $500
THE colleges that charge tuition Of
course do not depend upon these fees
for support; nevertheless many Of
them have raised their tuition
charges on an average of S25 a year
The private boarding school business
must be profitable. for the number OF
establishments is increasing.
This. OF course. is good for our
business. for It quickens the demand
for teachers and raises salaries. The
only educational institutions that are
declining are the old-fashioned day
seminaries The free state schools are
fast driving them out"

Demand for Good teachers
Greater Than Ever Before.
Reopening of Schools Shows That De-
sire for Knowledge Has Kept Bet.
ter Than Abreast Of Growth
in Population.

New York-"The schools of the
country are opening this month and
with an increased attendance which
shows that the American thirst for
education has kept ahead of the
growth in population. This was said
by a manager of the largest teachers
agency In the country. who from the
nature of his work is in touch with the
educational situation all over the
country. incidentally, he added that
good times were ahead for the mem
bers of the teaching profession.
The last school census showed that
20,000.000 we're enrolled in the various
institutions of the country. While no
figures for the present year are OBJ
tainable. II is estimated that common
schools alone have at least 1S.000,O0O
pupils.
Most Of the public schools in the
north and east open soon after Labor
day. The exceptions are some schools
in northern New England. where, ow-
ing to the hard winters and the diff
culties of transportation. sessions are
held only in the spring and autumn.
In the far south the heat delays
school openings, and in some districts
pupils do not return until November.
The latest institutions to begin the
years work are some of the southern
mission schools, which depend mainly
upon teachers from the north Ses-
sions there are postponed until late in
the fall. so that the northern teachers
may not be subjected to the unaccus.
toned climate.
Most of the colleges and universities
will have begun work by the first of
October. AS rule the state universi.
ties and normal schools start earlier
than the universities privately en-
dowed and have longer terms.

CRINOL!NE IS BIG FAILURE
Idea Is Scorned by London Leaders OF
Fashion-Narrow Skirts Form
Keynote for Season.

London.-The attempt by a Bond
street modiste to introduce a modihed
form OF crinoline skirt among the
fashions for the fall has been fail
ure. The idea has been even more
laughed at than was the model VINO
ventured out on the West end streets
to test public opinion on such SKIRT.
Designers OF women's modes now ad'
nit that crinoline or any form OF un'
naturally expanded skirt is dead.
As matter OF fact, narrow skirts
will form the keynote OF fashions
here for the fall and winter The de-
signers say they are only just begin
ming to recognize the possibilities OF
displaying the beauties OF the female
figure by tight dresses, and they now
will depend on the beauty OF form
rather than as hitherto on the charm
OF artistic drapery.
London is also learning al last
something from New York, and much
brighter colors will be worn. No one
color will mold predominant sway the
coming season, Royal purple is dis
appearing, and its place is the marked
feature OF womens dress will be
taken by vivid colors
The leading materials TO be used
will be rich velvet, with costly en-
broidery embellishments and fur trim

every way the most expensive ever
yet devised.

clared against the vogue OF black. but
