Washington.-The tariff revision
bill Democratic measure on which the
congress has been at work, advanced
to it's last congressional stage when
It came back to the house from the
final conference committee with the
unanimous Endorsement of the Demo
cratic conferees.
The measure, of course, has both its
friends and enemies. According to
the administration, 1t carries out
four of the party promises. Tariff re-
form, reduction in the high cost OF
living, campaign against the trusts, In
that duties have been taken off OF
many trust made article, and the In
come tax.
The measure, consequently, has a
larger Importance than that Of a mere
tariff reform bill, and its effect must
be widespread, both on business and
industry, and also in connection with
politics. Democratic leaders are con-
fident that business will suffer no un-
toward effect; that consumers will be
benefited.
Changes In the Rates.
The bill imposes an average ad
valorem rate of from q to 20 per
cent. The average for the present
Aldrich law is 4O.12 per cent The
average for the Wilson German act
was 39.45 per cent.
Duties generally have been reduced
on all of the articles that enter into
the necessaries OF life, including the
products of the farm as we'll as manu-
featured products.
Trust made products in many cases
have been transferred to the free list
or the duties at present imposed have
been substantially reduced.
The income tax feature OF the bill is
expected to net some sS3,000,000. 1t

ton Jealousies among the branch banks
and their officers developed, and these
branches and the lucrative and powerful
positions they offered gradually became
absorbed in the field of patronage.
Objection to Present Law
That some such situation may arise ln
the present proposed currency bill is en-
acted into law, has been one of the~chief
objections made by the opponents of the
administration measure now pending. 1T
is claimed that too much power is placed
where political influences may dominate
it, However, the reserve banks created
by the administration measure cannot by
the greatest stretch of the imagination
ever hope to become as powerful factor
in the financial system of the country as
was the United States bank during the
days of Andrew Jackson
At any rate, President Wilson has the
people of the country with him in his de-
mand for a new currency law. jackson
claimed to have the people with him, and
in all probability he did have majority
on his side in that memorable fight But
it is quite evident that President Wilson
has a great majority of the people, and
the small bankers throughout the country
behind him in his effort to make it possi-
BILE for the government to come 20 the re-
lief of business in times of great need

In contrasting woman as a butterfly
and as a busy bee, the London Graphic
comments on the small amount of clothing
worn by the fashionable woman of to-
day and the masculine attire aped by some
freaIish women and calls attention to
the fact that women who really COM
pete with men in hard work stick to the
conservative clothes of their sex. This
is particularly true of the French work
ing woman. The French peasant woman
fills a big place in the agricultural life of
France, while in the towns we find the
petite bourgeoise taking an active share
in commerce. widow often running a
business entirely alone These facts ex-
plain the existence of F'roissy, a village
in the department of rOise, on the borders
of pIsle de France and Picardy, with a
population of between 800 and 600 souls
And in this very exceptional village all
the public posts are filled by women
The station master (chef de gare) is Nine.
Taillefer. Her husband is a guard. 1t
does not trouble him that he has to take
occasional official instructions from his
wife. She knows that if she were a
guard and he was station master the home
de foyer would suffer. Think also what
a community of interests these two billets
provide for them; Froissy gets its daily
mail delivered by a woman postmas (fac-
trice), while it is the business of another
employe des postes to see the outward
mail aboard the train. In Froissy there is
such person as a male barber. All
the mems heads are placed at the mercy
of Mlle.t Jeanne Marchandin, the gentle
barbiere, who with skilful hands shaves
or cuts the hair of all her friends They
are her friends, for who would quarrel
with the only barber in the place? The
most striking and interesting figure in the
community, however, is Mime. Druhon
Marehandin. Hers is the task of herald
ing all important public events with drum
music-weddings for instance. She has
an erect, martial figure, strongly marked
and humorous features, and bears proudly
the weight of her so years. An odd occu-
patton for a woman is that of road men,
der (cantonniere). Lastly, there is the
young telegraphist, who keeps F'roissy in
touch with the outside world.
Women's occupations are not always of
an alluring nature. The Viennese butcher
is a case in point. Was it choice or ne
cessity or dreams of gold that drove
Miss Hermine Reisner to the brutalizing
scenes of the slaughter house at the ten
der age of 20?

Readers generally are familiar with the
love affairs of Thomas Carlyle and Jane
Welsh. who afterward became Mrs. Car
lyle. Very few, however, are aware that
the pretty Scotch girl had a most serious
love affair prior to this, and in a great
measure she chose her second lover, Car
lyle, believing that he would bring her
into more prominence being the wife of a
man whose name was on the tongue of
every one, rather than of an humble
curate.
Jane Welsh was but a mere girl when
she formed a strong attachment for Ed
ward Irving, the schoolmaster. who later
became the Rev. Edward Irving, not
able preacher of London. The parents of
Jane Welsh were very much disappointed
at her birth that she was not a boy,
and her father decided she should, at any
rate, he educated like a boy.
Soon after little Jane began to attend
school at Haddington, Mr.. Irving was
appointed its master and was engaged by
DR.. Welsh as private tutor for his daugh-
ter. This was the beginning of their ac-
quaintance Jane, who was born in
1901, was only 10 years old and Irving
was Is. But he was tall, powerfully built,
had black curly hair and was eonsid-
cred handsome.
Irving was always a favorite guest at
the Welsh home. After two years he ac-
cepted a more lucrative position at Kirk
caldy, and in leaving Jane he was un-
conscious of how their hearts were knit
together. Shortly after reaching his new
home he became engaged to the young
lady whom he later married, and there
he met Thomas Carlyle and entered upon
the intimacy with him which lasted during
the remainder of his life.
Irving remained at Kirkcaldy seven
years. and when he again met Jane Welsh
who was now II, for the first time he
seems to have discovered the real state OF
his heart. 1t was the beginning of an in
tercourse with her which lasted for years
and during which not only did Irvine
become deeply enamored but she, as she
| frankly confessed seven years after
ward, learned to love him 'passionately
| in return.
| DR.. Welsh died in 1919. irving was now
preaching at Edinburgh. He visited the
Welsh family frequently and took Car
! lyle with him to introduce him as III

You mean the act you are presenting
now?" | asked.
Yes, was the reply. MY idea OF
building an organ and combining the reg
istraton with ordinary articles of furni-
ture, and arranging the whole in stage
setting, was suggested to several of the
big organ factories Among them the
Haskell Organ company in Philadelphia.
They told me ii was utterly ridiculous. [
told them IL they'd give me a little niche
in their factory and let me work out my
scheme they'd see. My request was grant

began to sit up and take notice. They
said they'd like to take my ideas and i'm

was any improving to be done, I'd do it
all by myself The result is the musical
act I'm now doing"
Trunks and trunks upon top of trunks
were piled high in the rear of the the
atre. more than the ordinary bride or
debutante at Newport would require for
her gowns and bonnets, and they hold the
big reed pipes, pedal registration and wind
arrangements While the great bellows
that work the organ seem like mighty
instrument all to itself.
THE attachment of the instrument, the
'merimba, with the organ, is my idea,"
said Mr.. Weston, as we spoke of the
curious xylophone arraignment that is
used in the latter part OF the act" The
merimba is sort of grandfather to the
xylophone. being a very old instrument
Of that family. The South Sea Islanders
first brought it into prominence, and the
white man afterward perfected II. The
South Sea Islanders used it in their war
dances, and their festivities, and 1t Is
one of the oldest<musical instruments on
record. With ii we use all the connec-
tions of the organ, the big 16 foot bour-
don stop, the eight foot diapason in the
great organ. the four foot reed saxaphone
and the two foot diapason. With the
duinedina it makes most beautiful ef-
feet, the latter with its delicacy and
exquisite tone being brought into the
combination as a drop of bitters would
be used in cocktail-just to give it the
right flavor

deville stage, as 1t is absolutely orig

Shrinking Cotton YoiIe

I think can give intelligent advice on
the subject of shrinking cotton voile be-
fore making 1t up. | am an experienced
seamstress and think it a great mistake
to make up any washable materials with
out first shrinking them. Fold the ma
terial in yard lengths and lay smoothly
in a tub of lukewarm water. When it is
thoroughly saturated lift it from the water
and without wringing hang smoothly over
the line. Let 1t drain and dry slowly and
while it is still damp fold and press with
not too hot iron. If you are to trim it
with lace or embroidery shrink the trim
ming also, and when sewing have the
tension on your machine as loose as will
make firm stitch. Follow these direc-
tions and when your gown is finished
you may be sure it will always retain its
shape and not be a terrible disappoint-
ment to you the first time it is laun-
dered. MRS. NJ. e. FL.

to shake and gNe way beneath me- but
my help is in heaven. Count forever
my dear Jane, upon my last efforts to
minister to your happiness, present and
everlasting
The following June. Irving took up his
residence in London. The tender reIa-
tions between Irving and Miss Welsh did
not entirely cease with his farewell let
ter. Even after his marriage, which took
place October 13, 1923, he retained for her
an affection which made him shrink from
meeting her.
On her part, Miss Welsh. although Car
lyle was urgently pressing his suit, seems
not to have dismissed Irving entirely from
her memory, and to have INDUCED in a
lingering hope that she might yet be
united to him. At last, however. six
months after Irving had been married,
she consented to a half engagement with
Carlyle. They were married three years
later October II, 1926. Irving appears to
have met Mrs. Carlyle only four times
after her marriage.
Whether Jane Welsh would have been
happier with Irving for a husband in
stead of Carlyle is doubtful. That Irving
would have been most tender, loving and
considerate his treatment of the wom-
an he married, not from love but from a
sense of duty, eompels us to believe, but
whether his failure in his career, and the
want of that qualification of her pride
and satisfaction of her ambition which
she got with Carlyle would not have been
as sore trial to her as Carlyles harsh
ness, is not so sure.
