 This assertion was made before the House committee on Patents yester- day by F. c. Rand, shoe manufac- turer of St. Louis, and was greeted with mods of approval from represen- rative manufacturers from all the shce manufacturing centres.

 The shoe men urged the committee to frame a favorable report on the bill of MT. Oldheld, the chairman, which is designed to prevent mono poly in patents. They explained that the inventors of shoe machinery Tn this country have no market for their inventions except the United Shoe Ma

POLI'S

Vaudeville audiences are familiar enough with violin experts who play nothing but classical music and pop ular'' musicians who try 70 play any old kind of music, but the hit that Trovato is making at Poli's this week lies in the fact that he com pines the experts mastery of the violin with the ability to render the popular music that the audience likes.
 Pretty Grace Hazards dainty and original offering this week is another of the big hits of the all-star bill which is delighting the patrons of Poli's.

MANNERIsMs THAT
 SPOIL BEAUTY.

Did you ever notice how few people there are with smooth foreheads? About nine out of ten have very dis tinct horizontal lines acress the fore head-and not only middle-aged and elderly people, by any means. I have seen girls of twelve with these disfig- uring lines plainly marked.
 Now, these lines are caused by the almost universal habit of raising the eyebrows and wrinkling up the fore head when one is surprised, puzzled, or worried. and there isn't a bit of use of trying to get rid of them by rubbing cold cream or skin food into hem, so long as you cling to the habit that causes them.
 Then there is the deep wrinkle be- tween the eyes, known as the "frown-
 ng lin." You know how you got that inc all right, don't you? We'll, if anything, it's more disfguring than

President Holds Up Valentines Order
Regarding Indian Schools.

Washington, Feb. 5.-President
Taft has suspended Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Valentines recent or
der which prohibited the wearing OF
distinctive religious insignia and reli-
gious garb at school exercises in the
Indian schools.
In a letter to Secretary Fisher, the
president ordered Mr.. Valentines ac-
given to all interested parties, ''and a
conclusion reached in respect to the
matter after full consideration"
The president said the question was
one of great Importance and deli
cacy'' as to which the commissioner
had not consulted either with Secre-
tary Fisher or himself. The presi-
dent said:
L fully believe in the principle of
the separation of the church and state
on which our government is based, but
the questions presented by this order
are of great Importance and delicacy-
t'They arise out of the fact that the
government has for a considerable
period taken for the use of the Indians
certain schools heretofore belonging
and conducted by distinctive religious
societies or churches As q part OF
the arrangeme then made, the
school employees who were in Ger
tain cases mem bers of religious orders,
wearing the distinctive garb of these
orders, were continued as teachers by
the government and by ruling of the
civil service COul1li1SS4Ou U ny cASCA-
tive action they have been included in
the classified service under the pro-
lection of the civil service.
The commissioners order also nee
essarily amounts to a discharge from
the federal service of those who have
thus entered it. This should not be
done without a careful consideration
of all phases of the matter, nos with
out giving the persons directly affect
ed an opportunity to be heard
Catholic interests made rigorous
complaint against Commissioner Val
entine's order. which directed that
those who could not conscientiously
comply would be given reasonable
time to make arrangements elsewhere
