A PRACTICAL FROCK OF SERGE.

What prettier little frock than this
one could be asked for school wear
The body portion and skirt are cut in
one and tho box plaits give long,
slender lines. Serge is the established
favoirte for dresses of this sort and,
in this case, Il is trimmed with coll
lar and cuffs of charmeuse satin, but
school frocks this season are made
form many different materials Moth
ers who like wool for the first cool
days use serge and materials of SINH
lar weight, trimmed sometimes with
plain silk, sometimes with wool ma
terial, sometimes with plaid or strip
ed silk. The familiar Scotch plaids
are exceedingly fashionable just now
and they are always pretty for little
girls. They can be used either for
trimming or for the entire dress. This
frock made of plaid or checked ma
terial with collar and cuffs of plain
would be both pretty and serviceable.
A great many mothers like to use
washable materials until very cold
weather, at least, and pique. cotton
corduroy. linen and gingham are all
appropriate for such a dress as this
one. II the design is to be used for
afternoon wear, the frock can be made
with square neck and elbow sleeves
or with square neck and long sleeves,
and this last combination promises
to be much worn
For the s year size, the dress will

War and Moving Pictures.

Elderly readers of newspapers may
regret in the news from the war be-
tween Turkey and the Balkan states
the absence of such vivid word pic
lures as the old-time war correspond
ents were wont TO send. The wal
correspondents are on the scene, but
they will not be permitted to get any
thing into print until publication of the
news is considered safe by military au-
thorities. There is strict censorship
on news from the field.
But moving picture operators are on
the scene prepared to turn their cranks
as the fighting begins. We shall have
the actual scenes displayed, no doubt,
in every moving picture theater of con-
sequence within a few weeks, unless
these who take the pictures are killed
or the films destroyed. The work of
the moving picture man is perilous, for
he must get close up to the scene OF
action. And when he has once obtained
his precious record there is no telling
whether he will wi be permitted to bring

California's Public Service Muddle

1t is being demonstrated somewhat
singularly that there may be occasions
in the conduct of public utilities in
which it may be desirable to have
regulation in preference to compe-
tition. California is giving an illus
tration of this phase of modern busi-
ness conduct. San Francisco and
Berkeley under the direction of the
voters in an initiative resolution is
seeking to prevent the merger of two
local telephone companies on the
ground that it is against good public
policy for a single corporation to con-
troll the field; that if there is a mer-
ger of the telephone lines rates will
be increased, the service deteriorate,
and the results will be harmful TO the
community.
But If seems to make some differ
ence in what city one lives, and what
the local conditions may be, whether
or not a corporation, having a mo
nopoly of a public utility. is a good
thing. Pasadena is exuIting because
after long litigation and the expendi-
ture of large sums of money in law
yers' fees it has compelled its two
telephone companies to combine. The
suit was based upon precisely op-
posite assumption to that taken by
San Francisco and Berkeley, for Pasa-
dena alleged that better service and

The Panama Tolls.

To a certain extent the Panama and
Suez Canals will be competitors, and
that fact has been borne in mind by
President Taft in fixing the rate OF
tolls. But in the field in which the
largest increase is expected there can
be no rivalry for Panama will enjoy
a virtual monopoly of patronage. In
future years the question will arise
upon which of these bases tolls are
to be computed. However, there IS
not likely to be any serious diver
gence of interests, and we may look for
a reduction of rates whenever the vol
ume of traffic and consequent revenue
make that possible in justice to the
nation which has provided the capital
for the construction of the canal
The President has kept within the
legal limit of tolls at Panama. The
law empowered him to prescribe tolls
of not more than $I.zs net register
ed ton, nor less than Is cents a ton.
1t was also provided that the tolls
might be reduced for ships in ballast.
The President fixes the tolls at SI.2o
a ton of actual earning capacity, and
30 per cent less for vessels in ballast.
For naval vessels, he prescribes diff
ferent basis for computing tolls. and
so cents a displacement ton is pre-
sumably the legal minimum of Is cents
a net registered ton.
A commendable feature is that the
President has been guided i'll his ac-
ton by an expert report. Prof. John
sons statistics of actual commerce and
his estimates of probable commerce
through the canal have been widely
published and generally are accepted
as authoritative In his supplementary
report. which is before us. he calcu-
lates that the canal should reach a
self-supporting basis in twenty years.
We may not look for a rush of COM
merce at Panama such as there was
at Suez, but even if it does not begin
to approximate the popularity of that
waterway it seems probable that the
Panama Canal will not only win a
large share of existing commerce, but
by its offering of increased facilities
will stimulate and encourage an in
crease of commerce for its own ad-
vantage.

FILMS SHOW LOAN SHARK.
Sage Foundation Produces The
Usurer's Grip" in ''NIoyies."

EruEn the New York Tribune.
Another moving-picture film with
moral attached is about to be sprung on
the waiting public. This one is The
Usurer's Grip and the plot may be sur
missed from the title. The hero's child is
Ill and he borrows money at a ruinous
rate. then loses his job after a visit from
the "bawler out" His next employer is
more charitably inclined. and when he
learns the circumstances takes the man
to loan society which is run on the
emi-philanthropic plan. OF course, the
District Attorney and the hero arrive at
the latters home at the psychological
moment and obtain restitution from the
loan shark" who is having the furni-
ture taken away. Already the sick child
had been taken out Of the bed prepara-
tory to its removal
= A remarkable coincidence was brought
to light when the actor who takes the
part of the money lender found that he
had to take the bed from under the sick
child. At one time in his career. before
he adopted his present profession, he
was employed by a loan shark" as a
collector and once had had to do that
same thing. This is the answer to any
skeptic who says the plot is exaggerated.

The White House After March 4.

After next March the feminine ele-
ment will have larger representa-
tion in the White House than it has
ever had before. Even when but a
candidate, the President-elect's inter
esting family could not escape public
attention and they bore the ordeal
with modesty and philosophy, and the
mistress of the household will have
valuable assistants in the discharge
of her duties in her three daugh-
tiers. Few Presidents have had bet
ter reasons to felicitate themselves
upon so adequate a social equipment
for the responsibilities of the next four
years as Mr.. Wilson and doubtless he
is conscious and appreciative of his
good fortune.
While there are thousands waiting
to see what the newly chosen Presi-
dent will do after he assumes execu-
tive authority there are perhaps al
most as many interested to know what
will be the social life of the White
House after the new occupants are in
stalled. That it will be of charac-
ter to command public approval there
are few to doubt There have been
few instances when the ladies of the
White House have not risen to the de-
nands of the position; fewer still
when they have not been found worthy
of the distinction. Looking back over
a generation, who would undertake to
pick flaws in the record?
There were some that maintained
that Mrs. Hayes was the better half
during the four years in which she
was the first lady of the land" She
did exercise a strong influence upon
the social end of the executive func-
tions, and attained prominence in af-
fairs. To-day her qualities would find
a still wider field, because there has
been rather marked progress along the
lines of her special activities.
Mrs. Garfield was a lady of domestic
tastes, but one who would have been
fully equal to the requirements to
which she had been elevated had not
the Presidents untimely death robbed
her of the opportunity.
Mr.. Cleveland entered upon his
duties a bachelor, but he did not long
remain so. His marriage was one of
affection, but had it been one

ANCIENTs INVENTED CANDY.
'.sugnr Plum" Perhaps, Boasts of
the Greatest Antiquity.

frnm the International ConfecIOneT.
OF all candies perhaps the sugar
plum" boasts the most ancient lineage.
1t was the invention OF one Julius
Dragatus. a noted Roman baker and con-
fectioner, a member Of the family of the
Fabii.
Dragatus put forth the first specimen
of this confection in the year Ia 3. c..
The bonbons OF this variety were called
dragati, after their inventor tdragees in
French, and their manufacture consti-
tuted a monopoly enjoyed exclusively by
the Fabian family. Whenever there was
birth or a marriage in that family a
great distribution of dragat took place
as an evidence of rejoicing. This custom
is still retained by certain OF the old
noble families OF Europe.
The pastilIe Is of a far later origin. It
was invented and introduced into France
by an Italian confectioner, the Florentine
Pastilla, a protege Of the Medici When
Maria de Medici married Henry " OF
France, Pastilla accompanied his royal
patron to the French court, where his
bonbons soon achieved a tremendous
vogue. Everybody ate the Florentine's s

The Manhattan 'cRah! Rah:"
Fpm the New York Sun

From the New Tork Sun.
The sophomore class at Columbia held
its annual smoker recently and was
entertained at the expense OF twenty
freshmen who fell into its hands as well
as at the expense Of the Interborough,
the Union Railway Company, and New
York City.
There were about 100 members OF the
class when a start was made for Column
bia oval at WiIliamsbridge from the sub
way station at 1l6th Street. While a suf-
ficient number guarded the twenty fresh
men who had been captured for the
evenings entertainment. the others re-
moved the lights from the subway cars,
rough-housed the guards and made life
miserable for other passengers until 1slst
Street was reached. There surface cars
were taken over Jerome Avenue. The
lights were removed from the cars, win
dovs were smashed. bell ropes pulled
and other expressions Of eXuberant de-
light given.
At the oval the sophomores put the
freshmen through such PAGES as inven-
tive minds could devise and finished them
off with a bath in a mixture of molasses
and eggs. No member OF the freshmen
class came to the rescue Of his mates,
and the game of the sophomores went
forward without interruption. On the
way back the young men removed such
street signs as they could find in Van
Cortlandt Park and then marched tri-
umphantIy to the subway again. By the
time they left the train at 1l6th Street
the cars looked like a naval target after
a cannonade. A good time was reported
by all the sophomores.

cheaper rates could be given If one
company was in full control.
Attacks upon corporations not in
frequently are made for partisan and
political advantage. In many small
cities the electric lighting, gas distri-
button, and transportation are con-
trolled by single companies, operating
in their separate fields and the COM
munities seem to be satisfied with this
arrangement, which gives maximum
of service at minimum cost It is
quite clear that conditions may exist
that will make competition in some
localities ruinous to both capital and
the community served.
The fundamental need is wise regu-
lation to prevent the abuse of mo-
nopoly powers.
