Skirt Widths.

Much has been heard regarding full
er skirts for suits next season, says
the Dry Goods Economist. The skirt
now being made is happy medium
between full skirt and the very mar
row one In vogue year ago. This
will no doubt be the popular width
for fall and winter. It is still made
to give the straight, narrow lines, but
has enough fullness to permit Of per-
feet freedom In walking. A few plaits
are introduced In a clever manner In
the back, front or sides, but are press
ed or stitched so as not to give any
flare.

"You are an educating companion,

'Why?" Floyd inquired, puzzled.
But Stanton would elucidate nc

The ordeal before the magistrate was
not long. Stanton was held in thou

duced a surety company's bond, and in
fifteen minutes was free and once
more in his seat behind the Mercury's
wheel.

mused with mock suspicion.
At the office they left the car, but
not each other. There was growing
upon Stanton more and more the de-
sire for Jesse F1oyd's companionship,
final rebellion of nature against his
lonely existence.
'Do you have to stay here?" he de
manded, upon concluding arrange
ments at the Office.
NO" Floyd replied.
"Come to dinner with me, then"
The mechanician shook his bronze
curled head in laughing refusal.
There has been enough of that, Mr..
Stanton; you come to dinner with me. "
Eat your homer" escaped Stanton
involuntarily. He had sudden vision
of Jes and Jessica together, pre-
monition of mental bewilderment be-
fore the spectacle Of their incredible
likeness
Il would like that, but you know we
live up town. and l have got to be
back here in an hour. Mr.. Green

"Oh, anywhere you say. See here,
why can't you wait and come on the
train with me to Indianapolis? We
might make the trip less monotonous
for each other"
Taken by surprise, Floyd hesitated.
"I-you are good to think of it.
but Mr.. Green would never consent.
He has arranged for me to go on to-
night"
why shouldn't he consent? You
would be there in plenty of time."
Floyd turned his mischievous gray
eyes to the other mans, guarding ST
lence. But Stanton halted in the mid
die of the sidewalk, his face locking
in his steel-hard anger and determine
tion
Il know what you mean, Floyd. And,
speak openly, do you believe that you

For one passing moment he had
looked Jessica herself; Stanton saw
again the girls sorrowful face as she
bent over the embroidery, and heard
her answer "often" to his question OF
her loneliness. They were not alto

SENTIMENT
 GIVEN GREAT IMPETUS
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, May 5.-(SI teciall l-Oscar Underwood's great success il I Georgia and Florida has greatly heartent h his friends in Washington and has beeni a wonderful stimulus to the growing sentiment in favor of the Alabama candi date in other states
 It is considered as certain that he will secure a larger vote in Mi ssissippi and North Carolina than in the sother states named and that have already hcted. These five southern states includi ng Alaba ma, will give Underwood d totat of 10S dele- gates to the national convention pledged without reserve to the support of the great democratic leader in the House Not a bad showing for a. candidate swho was hardly considered seriously ing this connection by his homeS people syear ago.
 And added to this Is thej strong senu- ment for Underwood that ifs inquest son- ably developing in practically all the states of the union, north. east. west land south. Other southern states that hvili send uninstructed delegates to the ton- vention will be ready to support Under wood the moment 1t is demonstrated that the south Is bold enough ito stand by ihim and that there is real demand fora his sagacy, safety and availability byRthe party leaders in the east and west.
 II Is expected that Woodrow WilsonAwill lose Maryland Monday He will, lose Mississippi Tuesday andi North Carolina next week. This will put ,the already wan ing chances of the New Jersey candidate badly to the blink, He IS aireahy seri- ously crippled in view of the fact that he and his packers haAie been claiming

MAJORITY IN
 GEORGIA STEADILY INCREASES

talked of as prospective candidate when there was doubt about Governor Brown getting in the race last year. Then gossip connected his name with prospective candidacy when he lined up with Senator Smith and spoke from the same platform for Governor Wilson.
 It is-pretty wei lassured now. however. that MT. Smith will not be in the race for governor this year; also it may be stated the new candidate idea will hardly develop.
 It is pretty well assured now, however, to have friend of his own, rather than a political enemy, as national committee man from Georgia. 1t would have given him prestige. Likewise, Editor James R. Gray of the Atlanta Journal. 1t is said. was anxious to he the particular friend of MT Smiths who should represent Geor- gia in that capacity. The result, from this viewpoint, is therefore, a disap- pointment to both of them.
 It has been sought ever since the first election of Hoke Smith as governor to wrest the position of national committee man from Editor Clark Howell of the Constitution, who has held it now for nearly 20 years. But the only time op- portunities were ever offered. once in 1908 and again as the result of this presiden- tial primary, the state executive commit tee had to go to work and abandon the county unit plan, and the efforts seemed foreordained to defeat.
 The success of Underwood in Georgia means that MT Howell will retain the position of national committeeman follow ing the Baltimore convention.
 Another possible-in fact. probable-ef- fec. of the Underwood victory will be largely to eliminate factional politics from the gubernatorial race in Georgia. While Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hud- son Is generally looked upon as the 'Hoke Smith candidate. recent reports and publications indicate that he Is now trying to drop the factional end of it like hot brick.
 On the other hand, John M. Slaton, pres ident of the state senate, is recognized as aligned with the Joe Brown faction in state politics, but nevertheless has drawn to him many Hoke Smith follow CTS
 It is generally conceded as the result of his political alignment, while MT. Slaton took no active part in the presi- dential primary, the Underwood victory will materially strengthen his cause In the state; and it is a we'll known fact that all of the Wilson managers are his friends and are pledged to his support
 Joe Hill Hall of Bibb has also trained with the Joe Brown fiction, but he has distinctly announced that he is running ms campaign regardless Of factlons, and Is appealing to all Georgians regardless of their past affiliations
 It is also concluded that the Underwood victory materially strengthens the posi- tion of the conservative element in Geor- gia politics; the Hoke Smith machine is, at least temporarily, laid up for repairs, and it is no wonder that candidates who were attempting to ride on It should try to jump off and make it appear that they arc, alone and unalded, running their own campaigns.

INVEST MILLIONS
 IN WATER RIGHTS EdmOnds Declares Advent of Development Go. Means
 Industrial Revolution

Montgomery, May 5.-(Speclal. )-The ad- vent of the Alabama Interstate Develop ment company into Alabama means an in- dustrial revolution. according to Richard H. Edmonds editor of the Manufacturers Record, who was in the city Saturday. He said English, Canadian and French capi- taists will invest $55, 900 in water power rights and that other developments will follow.
 The Niagara Falls Power company will combine with the corporation in the erec- tioii of plant for the extraction of ni- trates from the atmosphere. The first bonds of the corporation were offered for saie In England few weeks ago and are in great demand. Engineers are in Ala bama making surveys of the rivers and streams.
 Ihe Influence of the corporation is far reaching" said Edmonds. "and 1t means more than just the development of water power. The enormous expenditure will necessarily result in making all investors actively interested fin other industrial developments of Alabama"

COCHRANE PLEASED
 WITH HIS SUCCESS
Thinks Next Southern Commercial Congress Will Mean Much
 to Alabama

Washington, May. 5-(Special.)-John T. cochrane, president of the Mobile cham Der of commerce, who succeeded in secur- ing the 1913 meeting of the Southern Com mercial congress, attaches special signii- canoe to his success The main claim on which he based his plea for the meet Ing was that the convention would be held simultaneously with the opening of the Panama canal and that Mobile is to be the chief gulf port adjacent to the canal. He feels that the securing of this meeting, which will naturally give much atten- ton to the opening of the new waterway, will be considered as a sort of official reoognitlon of this fact by the commer- cial and business interests of the south.
 President Cochrane attaches another and Interesting significance to the affair in this connection He said, Tt is special lv fitting that Alabama should have some official business recognition of the im- pcrtancc of the Panama canal. The late Senator Morgan of Alabama must be given much of the credit for the concep- lion and real constructions of the canal He gave the best part of his life to this enterprise, and it is right that Alabama should have a part in the honor and benefits Of it.
 "The next meeting of the Commercial congress will he of considerable import ance as 1t will necessarily deal largely with matters pertaining to the opening of the great canal 1 am proud that we have been able to secure it for Mobile and for the state Of Alabama. The entire state should be interested in the meeting. as 1t is vltaliy interested in the completion of the canal. Alabama will be benefited as much or more than any other state of the union by the completion of the canal"
 Alter spending two days in Washington Mir and Mrs. Cochrane went 10 New York, where they will spend a few days before returning to their home at Mobile.
