Fads and Late Fashions

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-Probahly
never before in the history Of fashion
has so much extravaganza been dis
played in anv part OF woman's cos
tune as there is at this time in even
ing coats. There is scarcely a rich and
beautiful material known which is
not employed in the composition of
such coats. One Of the most charac-
teristic materials used Tor evening
coats this season is broCade, hut there
are also the most exquisite yclyets,
pushes, silks, satins, laces. furs ana
other materials, which the great de.
signeTs employ in the construction OF
their choicest models.
Among the handsomeSt coat ma
terials are the gold and silver bro
Cadcs and the cloths embossed in close
designs II white or colored velvet.
There are some stunning, though hard
by practical, coats made up in white
and gold or white ana silver. trimmed
with white fox or dark fur More SER
viceable are the coats OF black velvet
brocade OF metallic grounds with
black fUr for trimming and Innings OF
brilliant color.
Taupe velvet upon dull silver or
GOLD makes a rich and practical dark
evening coat. Black and white effects
in embossed velvet are good and there
are some excellent models in these
materials. usually long draped coz Is
trimmed only with black fur. One OF
the great French designers has used
successfully a velvet which has a
rather tne close black design on a
white ground with, at infrequent in
tervals, just a small splash OF color
introduced into the design, no more
than a small oval forming the centre
OF a CCnventIonslized flower. In black
and white aud dull red this is very
good looking and with brilliant blue
in place OF the dull red il IS also at
tractive.
With each there Sc the fur border
but the lining matches the touch of
cOlCr and in one model there is 4
brOidery OF he color running round
the hips. or rather suggesting an eX-
aEgeratedly low waist line with the
body part Of the coat bIOused slightly
OF wrinkled above the wide belt but
quite loose. mis- lOT Eirdle or drOT'
ped waist line is seen in a number
Of the very smart imported coats, nut
il is becoming only 20 the woman with
very slender hips.
The shades of vieux rouge or rouge
ancen and a host Of beautiful soft
yet glowing red and rose tones are
much used for evening coat purposes.

In England where a parcels post
service has been in operation since
1853, motor wagons, or motor parcel
vans as they are called, are used IN
large numbers.
For distances up to l20 miles, the
motor wagon has been found much
cheaper than the railroad for the con,
yeyance Of parcels under the terms
OF the parcels post act. British rates
are based solely on the weight OF the
package, without regard to the dis.
lance carried-England being a small
country, compared to the United
States. A 'our pound package, for
example, will be carried 80 miles al

present fourth-Class rate the charge
for a similar parcels is Is cents. With
the new parcel post rate. the charge
would be II cents for any distance up
to 80 miles. and 80 cents if carried
800 miles.

Uncle Sam, whether he knows II or
not. is a potential customer for many
thousands OF power wagons, by rea-
son OF the fact that on January / next
the Bourne parcel post bin will pass
into law.
This statement was made by S. A.
Phillips, technical editor of The Pow
er Wagon in discussing the effect of
the new parcel post legislation on the
governments road transportation
problem.
The Post Office department handles
each year about 1900, 0OO,0O0 pieces
of mail, OF which 1S5. GOO, 900 are par
GELS and come under the present
fourth-class rate. The express COM
panies transport annually 800, O00, 900
packages. and of these 9O,000.00
weigh II pounds or less-the limit of
weight of the present 'fourth-class'
mail matter is four pounds, of the
two billion or more parcels shipped
in various ways by the mail-order
houses and department stores. fully
80 per cent will fall within the IL
pound limit Of the parcel post law
II Is clear, therefore. that the scope
Of the postal service may be increased
as much as 800 per cent and that to
handle this tremendous volume CT
business eheaply and expeditiously,
some transportation medium quicker
and more economical than the horse
and wagon must be found. Not only
will motor road transportation dis
place horse methods where they are at
present used. but the power wagon
will find a wide field in branches of
the new work for which the morse is
wholly untitled. The result will be

mammoth scale, and TO a far greater

we're exchanging visits between Sofa
and Athens. The alliance OF the gov
ernments has followed the will Of the
people. Everywhere the passions Of
conflict and the hopes Of victory are
aroused. A ministry or a king seem
ed TO have thrown away a great ma
tionaI chance might fare i'll at the
hands Of its people.
Risks for the Allies
But the arguments for prudence are
no less cogent Servia risks, above all,
the Intervention OF Austria, which
might not only rob her Of the fruits
of victory. but even threaten her in
dependence. Greece remembers only
TOO well the disasters of her last war.
Bulgaria knows that whether she fails
or succeeds ii is her kinsmen in Mace
donia whose villages will be burned
and whose women will tie violated.
Ii is useless to talk reforms in En-
ropean Turkey. which the Turks will be
left TO execute. That chapter OF his
tory is closed Equally futile are such
schemes of Turkish reform under Eu-
ropean supervision as amused the con-
cert in the years before the Turkish
revolution. Macedonia was never 80
miserable and so hopeless as in those
years when Austrian and Russian
agents controlled a sham OF Turkish
reform. The Balkan states have de
manded the autonomy Of Macedonia,
and the neighhoring regions. and that
the Turks will never grant save IN
der the united pressure OF Europe.
n there is any minimum below this
demand it would be at The least a
guarantee from the powers that they
will take over. through their agents,

Y. M. c. A. BANQUET AT
 AUBURN SATURDAY

Auburn, February 12.-(SpeciaD-The strength and prominence which. the Young Mems Christian association has achieved in Auburn was well exhibited at the annual banquet of the associa- ton Saturday night. Real and earnest enthusiasm was evident concerning the work in Auburn, and vociferous cheer ing by the college men at every ref- erence to the prosperity and effective ness of the associations work was proof that they had it's welfare at heart.
 The banquet was held in Smith din- ing hall. A pretty feature was the presence of several young women, mem bers of the Sunday school class of Mrs. w. E Hinds, as walters. Mrs. Kinds and pr. W. F. Hinds have been earnest workers for the Young Mems Christian association and it's affiliations in Auburn and the prosperity of the as- sociation is largely due to them.
 Smith dining hall was decorated by the young women with white and yell low bunting, ribbons and flowers. About 200 or more students and college pro- fessors were present.

 IN ALABAMA LAST YEAR

Montgomery, March 1o.-(Special)- alizing the great importance of the inf1u- ence of teachers in the promotion of bet ter hygienc and sanitary conditions, the state directors of the Rockefeller sanitary commission have bsen called to meet in Nashville April l. and 3, coincident with the sessions of the fifteenth conference for education in the south. Dr. Wickiffe Rose, executive secretary of the sanitary commission, is also vice president of the conference, hence he appreciates the im- portance of workers in both causes get ting together.
 Dr. William ". Dinsmore, the director of the sanitation work in Alabama, will hurry back from Nashville for the meet ing of the Alabama Education association later in the same week, his work having a place on that programme also

QUESTION FEDERAL
 AGENT I.R. MURRAY
Federal Grand Jury Probing Alleged PeOnage COndi-
 tiOns at LeWisburg

J. Reese Murray, the special agent for the federal department of justice. who looked into the fee system operations in and about Lewisburg, and several mem bers of recent Jefferson county grand Juries were witnesses yesterday before the federal grand jury Investigating the fee system operations fin this section of the district
 Mir. Murray was called to the hearing from North Carolina, where he has been looking into some matters there. He was examined at length by N. L. Steele. as- sistant United States attorney, in com nection with his work at Lewisburg and other local points. MT. Murray, 1t Is un- derstood. gave some very convincing tes- timony in reference to the system under investigation.
 It is understood that In addition to Mr. The examination of the former jurymen of this county who joined in recent scath- ing reports in connection with the fee system were also examined by the jury. The examination of the former Jurymen was along the fee system line. and 1t is stated that a great amount of informa- tion was laid before the United States in- qisitors in connection herewith
 The department of justice which is pur- suing the examination is of the opinion that unless some direct infraction of the federal peonage statutes is shown as com ing from the fee system. the federal jury is powerless. However, if the investi- gation of Mir. Murray, which 1t is said has been exceptionally thorough. and other evidence goes to show that the fee system has created situation akin to peonage, it is. claimed that some very interesting developments will occur. . It was stated yesterday that the jury would complete Its work within the next three days. whereupon final and com plete report will be filed. The jury has previously reported upon several alleged liquor violations.

 Alabama for the year 1911 shows a large number of hookworm disease pa tients Free dispensaries in 12 coun- ties were visited by 25,0O0 people and in them 19,575 cases were given treat ment. Fifteen thousand others were advised of the disease and the neces- sity for treatment by lectures 800 phy sicians were reached, 33,931 school chil- dren were examined, 261 school houses inspected and 1150 teachers interested.

 Months Extension

Montgomery, March 12.-(Specal)-- The Board of city commissioners today granted an IS months extension Of franchise to the Alabama Traction company. The commissioners declared that the company had forfeited the $2500 deposited with the city treasurer owing to the fact that the corpora tion had failed to begin work in the time specified.

Abercrombie, president of the company, who declared the corporation had done everything in it's power to begin oper- alton during the 12 months it had had the franchise, but that it was pre- vented from beginning operation owing to failure of the. company to make satisfactory agreement with the Montgomery Light and Water Power company.
