Vogue In Outer Garments.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. at the present time retailers are
featuring WRAPS of charmeuse and
satin, The best sellers are the me-
dium-priced numbers retailing from $40
to $50. These are usually attractively
lined in some bright color, giving a
pleasing contrast. Lace collars and
cuffs are often used as a finishing
touch and are very effective, while
white lace is used largely for this pur-
pose. Some garments are shown trim
med with black lace, which is cut away
to show the lining underneath.

HAROLD soMERs, ISo
BIG FORTUNE WELL HANDLED
Millions Left by the Late Russell Sage
Are Being Expended for the Wei
fare Of Humanity.

While the late Russell Sage was III
the flesh he was one Of the most pru-
dent, shrewd and persistent money
grubbers in Gotham. The astute finan-
cier never plunged nor risked any
money in wildcat schemes. He was
a "sure-shot" operator in Wall street.
and when he died he left In the hands
of his lone widow a fortune Of some
thing like $75,000,00O. Since becom-
Ing possessed of this enormous for
tune she has worked as persistently
and assiduously in scattering the
money as her husband did in gather
ing 1t, The scriptures tell US that
the miser is the man that heaps up
riches and cannot tell who shall gath
err them" Russell Sage knew better,
and the good lady upon whose Shout
ders was imposed the burden of this
enormous sum of money has worked
hard in tightening the burden. Her
philanthropies have been productive
of as much wisdom as marked her
husbands operations in the market.
She is reported to be failing in health,
and her task is only begun. Should
she be taken from the world, thou
sands will regret her departure, and
1t is very earnestly to be hoped that
further care of the property will fall
into good hands.

CONTRASTS in THE GARDEN
Vivid coIorIngs as Well as RestfuI
Tone Schemes, May Be Secured
by Careful Planting.

Contrasts of color in some parts Of
the garden are more dramatic in in
terest, yet the ore restful schemes
that include but one tone, yellow or
pink or purple have their full value.
1t is a good plan where large spaces
are to be planted to have one part
of the garden where the Towering
vines, shrubs and plants are all Of
harmonious shades of pale reds, with
deep reds in shadowy corners; anoth-
er part, say at the edge of some open
sunny slope, with the blossoms yellow
and orange. Plant forget-me-nots in
some retired moist bit Of ground, mass
delphinium in sunny plot near a
shield Of trees, and campanulas near
banks Of fern. Vines draped from
tree to tree, clambering over pergola
or running along a wall, aid greatly in
bringing about sense of unity.
A constant procession Of color can
be had by a little careful planting.
For instance, ia the corner Of the gar
den where yellow is the color scheme,
daffodils, tulips, yellow hyacinths and
crocus should be planted under or
near the forsythia bushes. Coreopsis,
calliopsis and marigolds can be set
thickly as borders, and the closer the
flowers are massed the better for their
growth, for the ground is thus kept
moist by the thick shade Of intermin'
Cling leaves. Yellow pansies can be
set in front of these, nasturtiums or
even the gay sunflower at the back OF
them.
Put the meadow lily and garden iris
in moist place and the yellow Japa-
nese lily in a sunny plot. Scatter
thicl1ly the seeds Of the California
poppy in ground that is too sunny for
most other flowers, and they can be
depended upon to furnish the gayest
splash of color in the whole garden.
Yellow asters, chrysanthemums, dah-
las must be in evidence, and honey
suckle vines and climbing yellow roses
allowed to ramble at will over fence
or over tree. Arranging the flowers
thus in succession Of crops not only
affords continuous bloom and color but
is also valuable form Of intensive
gardening.-TheC Craftsman.

Oddities Of Justice.

That the whole theory Of penal
codes is practically unsound and op.
posed to the modern conceptions Of
the relation OF the state to crime, Is
the contention Of Eugene Smith of the
New York bar, writing in the May
number Of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the alb
surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes In different states, Mr..
Smith says: "The average sentence
for perjury in Florida is ten years, in
Maine one year; for larceny, in Della
ware ten years, in the District Of Co
lumbia ten months; the penalty for
arson in Pennsylvania is twice that OF
burglary, but in Connecticut the guilt
Of burglary ig twice that Of arson; the
guilt Of counterfeiting In Ohio is twice
that Of perjury, but in Rhode Island
the guilt of perjury is twice that OF
counterfeiting.

Prof. c. H. Goetz of the forestry
department in the state university
does not favor the planting of very
large trees for shade. In a bulletin
containing advice as to the planting
of trees on Arbor day he suggests that
large trees, as rule, suffer more from
transplanting than small ones and
says that large tree will continue to
grow uninterruptedly and the sooner
make large one.
He counsels against planting any
kind of a tree in any old place just
for the sake Of planting. Thought OF
its future development and care
should be taken. Trees for transplant
ing, he says, should never be more
than three inches in diameter. From
one to three inches base measure is
the best for most trees.-Columbu

Chicago, Ill.,, March 1.-'Rogulation
of Industrial combinations" was the
theme scheduled for discussion by
many speakers at the conference OF

began here today.
G. w. Wright professor of political
economy of the University of Chicago

competition"
George w. Simmons. Of ST. Louis,
declared:
"If there is anything that is a curse
to the business of the country today
it is that we have too many lawyers.
In the last Congress there were two
hundred and twelve lawyers and less
than fifty business men. We have a
big business organization called the
United States of America. why not
have for it a business administration ??
Prof. Smalley, of the University OF
Michigan, characterized the dissolu-
ton plans of the Standard Oil and
American Tobacco companies as
shams, and the judicial review OF
economic questions an absurdity.

NEW LETTER SYSTEM.
Move to be Made For More "M's" For
u. OF M. Trackmen.


Ann Arbor Nigh. March l.-Because
il is believed that the present system
for awarding university MS" to track
team athletes does not give enough of
the coveted honors. a movement has
been started To try and have the meth
cd changed. Al present the "M" is
awarded To the men who place i'm the
eastern INTERCOLLEGIATE meet and to no
others. AS this Is a contest i'm which
the large schools participate, il prac-
tically means that the wearer of the
'M' is better than most of the 9TH
er college athletes. Ii means that he
Is among the stars of the east and
west. This fact makes a position on
the varsity team hard to get and prob
ably is the reason why many do not
care TO attempt to make the team
There has been some dissensions iu
past years due to the failure Of cer-
tain men to make their letters. and the
campus has come TO the belief that the
system should be changed.
AS yet no definite steps have been
taken toward this end, but it is possi-
BILE that the athletic association will
be asked TO consider some other meth
Cd of awarding the letters.
DR., Kranzelein. the director of athle-
tics, expressed himself as heartily in
favor of awarding more letters. pro-
vided this could be done without reduc-
ing the value Of the letter. He was
not inclined to state whether he be-
ueved there was a better system than
the one now in use. but said that he
felt that there should be more of the
Ms awarded.
