TRIMMINGS FOR HATS

N addition to the staple flowers, such
as violets, roses, lilacs, pansies. mar
guerites, cowslips and buttercups, there
are many charming novelties to be used
on spring and summer hats. The chrys-

hats
Azaleas in pink, ruby, white and bril-

times they are arranged in straight, full
bands and used as q top or under trim
ming on the brim of a hat or they are
applied to a wing, quill or loop orna-
ment and posed slantwise or erect over
the hat crown. They are very dainty and
effective when developed of sheer chiffon
or gauze and accompanied by foliage of
the same fabric.
Combinations Of two or more colors in
flower arrangements are fashionable, as
they agree with the present taste for
changeable and chameleon effects. A
striking, handsome model has the entire
brim, which is large and rolled, covered
with a mass of little flowers. Detached
lilac and hyacinth blossoms were care

buds, and the ensemble reminds one of a
mosaic pattern.
Sprigs and sprays of heather are seen

THE SHERMAN LAW IS ADEQUATE. SAYS
 ATTORNEY GENERAL
No Judgment on Act as Criminal Statute-De- fends Commerce
 Court

Washington December 5.-The Sher- man antitrust law is proving it's ade- quaey as civil statute and there is no necessity for the much discussed proposed amendment partieularizing unlawful practices in restraint of trade, according to George w. Wiekersham, Attorney General of tie United States, in his annual report submitted to Con gress today.
 On the other hand. however the Nt torney General does rot pass judgment upon the efficiency of the anti-trust act as a criminal statute. He merely says:
 "The experience of the last year in endeayoring to enforce criminal lia bility under the sherman law has not been encouraging." The Attorney Gen eral defends the commerce court, the abolition of which was attempted at the last session of Congress. return to the old method of distributing liti- gation arising from the orders of the interstate comemrce commission to the district courts would be injurious to the interests of the public and delay the administration of justice. says M..

 Pitiful Cries

Pittsburg. December 5: Trapped in a burning barn at Universal, borough, three small children were slowly burned to death today while their mothers list. ened to the childrens screams and tore frantically at the weatherboardng of the barn in futile attempt to save them.
 The dead are Elizabeth Sophan, 5 John Chasley, and Mary Randa, aged 8. They had visited the barn to play and are thought to have had matches. The chil- dren had closed and fastened the barn door.
 The flames were discovered by Mrs Sophan. She knew the children were in the barn and her cries brought Mrs. Chasley and Mrs. Randa. Screaming and crying the three mothers tried to break down the door and failing attempted to pull boards from the side of the building. The pitiful cries of the burning children drove the mothers into a wild frenzy. When help arrived the three women were practically maniacs. They were carried to their homes and meanwhile rescuers were cutting hole into the. barn. Be- fore they succeeded the cries of the chil- dren ceased and later the three charred bodies were recovered.

 Finally facombe fired two shots In quick succession at M. and Mime. Ducret, who instinctively threw themselves back ward. and only NJ. Ducret was hit. The detonations of the assassin's revolver ex- tinguished the lamp and Lacombe left.

When Lacombe sought to leave the house next morning he found 1t surrounded He managed to escape and hide in an adjoin- ing house until the police left.

WILSON LOOKS ID UNDERWOOD FOR
 HELP IN CONGRESS
President-Elect Frequently Speaks in. Terms of Praise of House
 Leader

Hamilton. Bermuda, December D. The story of how the engagement for the approaching conference Of Presi- dent-eiect Wilson with William ]. Bryan came to be made was told to- day.
 It seems that just before Mr. Will sons departure from Princeton and while he was keeping his destination secret to avoid callers word came to Mir Bryan that Mir Wilson was going to Florida. It happened that MT. Bryan already had made plans to visit Miami and in writing to the President elect casually mentioned the fact, add ing that he might drop in some day If Governor Wilson happened to locate nearby.
 The letter was not received by Mir Wilson until after he arrived at Ham ilton. In reply he said he would be pleased to meet MT. Bryan on return ing to the United States. This is the extent of the correspondence on that subject between the two democratic leaders since election.
 The President-elect is not permitting himself to be troubled over the pre- dictions of factional differences affect ing his administration. He has made it clear that he will have no single ad- wiser. His idea is to counsel with all those who are in position to aid him.
 In his hope that Congress will full fill its campaign pledges MT Wilson is encouraged by his confidence in Oscar W. Underwood, leader of the democratic majority in the House The President-elect frequently has referred

 The Bulgarian government newspaper Mir, in an editorial today, dilates on the advantages to Turkey of good under standing with Bulgaria. It declares Fur keys salvation lies not in continuing the war. but in seeking reapproachment with Bulgaria.
 The French premier, M. Poincare, in a speech in the chamber of deputies In which he reviewed the war and it's ef- feet on European interests indicated that the difficult problems would be solved at the London conferences, and expressed the hope that Turkey would speedily re- cover her prosperity.
 He said 1t would be necessarily to de- termine what part of the Turkish public debt should be taken over by the Bal kan states. and added that France prob ably would arrange special conventions with the allies for the protection of the extensive French interests in the con quered territories.
