WOMEN NIGHT WORK CASE.
Next our Legislature passed an act
that women should not be employed in
factories between 8 O'Clock at night and
s O'Clock in the morning. Enlightened
public sentiment was that the health Of
our women and Of their offspring would
be conserved by this law But our Court
Of Appeals declared that it deprived
women Of their liberty" to work all
night, as long as they liked IN factories.
To such use indeed did they stretch
this sacred word liberty.
EMPLOYERS LIABILITY CASE.
Last year our Court of Appeals de-
clared unconstitutional and void the
Employers Liability Act passed by our
Legislature the year before. It deprived
the employer Of his property without
due process Of law, said the Court.
Thirty-two different governments Of the
world, including England, have such
laws, and have had them for many
years. Even Russia has model one.
Prussia had one as early as 1847. No
where in the world except here did any
one ever suggest that such law takes
the employers property without due
process Of law. Nor do we see how it
does. The damages for injuries and
and deaths Of the workers
from explosives, machinery, and SO on,
which the employer would pay would
simply enter into the cost OF produc-
tion, the same as the cost and repair
expense Of machinery, and be included
ID the price we would pay for the fin
shed product. How is that taking the

Frank Chances baseball playing
days are not ended. When he de-

Chance was home only few days
when he was asked to take part in
an exhibition contest. He readily
consented, declaring his health would
permit. Although he had promised to
be on hand, it was not thought he
would appear when the time came,
He was present when the bell rang
and played a fast game at first base
and went through the innings without
murmur. His team won, 8 to 2.

Dr.. Wiley is right in his contention
that people die too young. Human
life should be prolonged, and it can be
by higher education on matters of
hygiene. The average expectation of
life in the United States is only about
IA years. It should be much higher,
and probably will be hereafter, for
people are learning more and more
concerning the prevention of disease.
As matter of fact, the most valuable
study in our schools is hygiene, says.
the Boston Globe. If the young folks
are taught the value of food and mod
crate exercise they will grow up
strong and possess a knowledge of
how to take care of their bodies.
There is too much ignorance among
young and old concerning the proper
care of the health. How few there are
who know even how to eat; that is,
to consume only those things which
will create a sufficient supply of vi
tality with which to ward off disease.
The sooner more attention is paid In
all our institutions of learning to by
giene and kindred topics the better it
will be for the students. None but
the strong and healthy can enjoy life
or engage successfully in its battles.

coNTAGIoN NOT INFECTION.

For many years the idea of tnfec-
ton in disease has gradually merged
into contagion. The International
Congress of Hygiene, which held its
sessions in Washington, would seem
to have definitely settled that dis
ease conveyance is always by con-
tagion and not infection. 1t is contact,
either direct or indirect. with a patient
suffering from a particular disease
that causes the occurrence of that
disease in a second patient. Much
used to be said of infected places,
says the New York Herald. Swamps,
low ground or marshy surroundings
we're thought to be the cause of dis
ease. The night air had a bad repu-
tation as a fOmenter Of illness of va
riOus kinds. Now we know that it is
the mosquito which directly carries
various diseases and acts as an inter
mediate host between one human vic
tim and another. In the same way
other carriers of disease have been
found, Flies, fleas, ticks, rats and
various forms of parasites are respon-
sible for disease distribution Even
among human beings certain tndividu-
ais prove to be carriers" of infectious
material They may be insusceptible
themselves or have acquired immu-
nifty from the disease, yet can convey
it to others. Always when a com
municabIe disease occurs it can be
traced to a preceding case with which
there has been contact either directly
or indirectly

The age when we boosted of hold
ing our own opinions is past. Today.
if we possess any view at all, it Is not
usual to express them. This is a po-
lite, a non-controversial age, one in
which one fears to confess to strong
feelings. To hold ones own opinion
is to risk being called opinionated,
and the world of today would avoid
that at all costs. says the London
Mirror. Our conversation has de-
generated into a state of non-com-
initial phraseoIogy, and a superficial
amiability is the right note to strike.
AmiabIe we must be, the world de-
mands it: argument is the worst of
form. There was a time when two
subjects only-politics and religion
were held taboo; today all subjects
that may lead to dissension are to be
avoided

A razor case is made of a piece Of
linen, the length of which is fifteen
inches by nine and one-half Five
inches of the linen are folded over to
form a flap, and this can be embroi-
dered in forget-me-nots if you so de-
sire, using pretty pale-blue mercerized
cotton for the flowers and a soft
shade of green for the leaves.
Under the flap piece of linen is
stitched, seven and one-half inches IN
width by nine and one-half. This is
divided by six rows Of machine stitch
ing in pale blue silk, and each divt-
sion is large enough to hold a
razor.
The divisions look very attractive
ornamented with the days" of the
week embroidered on them.
Many men like a razor for each
day in the week, and for such this de.
sign is made.

OF CONTRASTING COAT
Garment Makes for Real ECONOMY in
That 1t VIII Serve for Many
Different Costumes.

An economy is found in the con-
trasting coat. The same skirt tailor
built and perfectly cut has been made
to serve with three or four coats, says
the Indianapolis News.
Take the favorite black and white
stripe, for example. This may be
worn with a coat to match and by way
of change with a neat, short coat of
black habit cloth lined with braid,
while a saucy little jacket of scarlet
silk will quite transform the toilet.
The changes may be rung in the same
fashion with the ubiquitous navy
serge.
The survival of this idea is indi-
Gated in the coming evening styles,
and one can see how in this case it
may be very real economy, since it
often happens that an evening bodice
is unpresentable, while the skirt is
still in good condition. The idea of a
blouse for evening wear being now
hopelessly old-fashioned it is not easy
to do much with a skirt, and yet we do
not care to see 1t hanging in the
cramped space of the wardrobe. Into
this dilemma the taffeta coat intro
duces itself with complete success,
and the old evening frock becomes
fashionably transformed.

haps a fur rose or buttons as a fas.
tening. Often it is bordered all around
with the fox or ermine, or whatever
chances to have been chosen. The
best Of the French wraps seem design
ed to give contrast, as except in the
case of a few all white models-white
velvet edged with ermine or white
fox, for instance-a dark fur is usually
chosen to ornament a light brocade
or velvet, and a white or very light
fur on a dark wrap.
One of the very attractive Access
series Of the cloth suit or the after
noon gowns is large combination col
lar and jat0t Ma6e of fine lace with
fur trimming. This is worn outside
the coat of a suit. Sometimes the
entire collar is made of the fur, fas
tened in the back, and there are small
sable heads or what not down the
center of the large double frill
Narrow band trimmings of fur are
used on chiffons, and even laces and
sometimes a band of fur serves as a
shoulder strap, instead of the more
familiar band Of rhinestone or pearls.
A charming frock of girlish type
was seen recently. The blouse and
tunic were made of fine shaded lace,
and decollete bodice being finished
with a row of tiny pink silk roses veil
ed by the lace. The skirt was border
ed by a band Of swansdown.
The frock pictured is of pale yellow
satin and chiffon with a lace tunic.
Two narrow bands of skunk extend
from the shoulders in straight panel
effect down the front to three-quarters
the length Of the skirt, slanting away
to a point at the back. A panel Of
lace threaded with gold begins below
the bust line, extends down between
rows of fur and forms the tunic,
which reaches below the knees. The
skirt crosses over at the left side,
forming a slashed effect at the bottom
The other is a frock of silver tissue
draped up at the right side, showing
an opening at the bottom. The skirt
is crossed by band of black fox.
The tunic and bodice are of mother of
pearl beading with handsome motifs
and fringe. A band of fur encircles
the waist and is finished with a vel
vet flower.

that they ought to start before the
snow melts. The matter is placed in
the hands of the league chiefs lust on
this account, as petty squabbling was
eliminated and the presidents also see
to it that the season is closed in time
to permit the playing of the world
series before steam is sizzling in the
radiators.
BY starting on April 10 the race will
wind up probably October 4 in the
eastern towns and October 5 in the
west, where Sunday games stretch out
the dying gasp. The closing on o.

games, whether played in the east or
west, or between teams from each
section, will begin on Tuesday, Octo-
Der Z. This is the same scheme that
existed this fall.
The experiences of 1911 furnished
a lasting lesson to the big league.
Held back by the needless drawing
out of the National race, the world
serj1s did not get under way until
the middle Of October, and the mis-
cradle weather which caused the
match to cover a period of over two
weeks convinced the powers-thatbe
