Cost Of Graduating Clothes.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
THE familiar problem Of the cost Of
the graduating dress and its accessories
There has been a long, hard hSht that il
yet far from won to bring home the ne
cessity for common sense. This is be-
cause those who most need protection arc
among the most strenuous advocates OF
"A Year ago we pubiished an iiinminat-
ing symposium on the subject. Especially
notable was a communication from q
school teacher who frankly maintained
she would bitterly oppose an effort to pre-
vent her from giving a sister about to
graduate the most beautiful ard costly
gown that any sacrifice could provide for
her. Then came the pathetic reason; in
her own case and that OF the sister there
was no hope of marriage. The gradua-
ton mean. to them all that a wedding
ceremony means to most women-more
perhaps, for Il was the one fine and splen-
did reality that should be the happiest
memory IN a future that promised only a
drab Monotone.
There was no escaping the pathetic
force Of the letter. Nor is II difficult to,
understand how a mother who for years
has tolled increasingly and gone without
pressing necessities to give her daughter
an education should be eager TO make q
great final sacTffics to have before her
the visible evidence of accomplishment.
To see her daughter wearing so beautiful
q gown carrying such lovely flowers, may
seem to her sufficient reward for years of
se~lf-denial. 4 Il
This is the finer, sentimental side of
the problem. But 1t Is a view that COM
mards more sympathy than respect. For
one thing, these self-sacrihcing mothers
and sisters, II they did but realize It, place
greater stress upon the symbol than upon
the thing itself. The significance of
graduation Is not represented by the cos
tunes of the graduates. at least It should
not be, any more than the beauty of q
gown Is always represented by its cost.
While II may hurt the fine feelings Of
can come from placing a limit upon the
cost of graduating gowns, Perhaps the
best plan Ii that under consideration In

Could De Lussac have taken his stand
for a moment on these battlements the
hopelessness OF any attempt to escape
would have been shown to'him to COM

The last words in criticism and de-
fense Of Attorney General McReynolds
for his postponement of the Caminetti-
Diggs white slave cases in Sa nFran-

Debate upon the affair was closed by
unanimous consent
A scathingly dramatic arraignment of
McReynOlds and the two defendants by
Republican Leader Mann and a vigor-

Chairman Clayton, of the House Judi

far as the House is concerned.

FREE WOOL FIGHT
OPENED IN SENATE
Catron Of New Mexico Says
Elimination of Tariff Would
Prove Serious.

The fight over the placing of raw
wool on the free list was opened In tht
Senate today. Senator Catron of New
Mexico opened the discussion, which
promised to be animated. In fact, the
struggle over free raw wool promises
to be one OF the chief features OF the
tariff debate.
Many of the Democrats, especially
from the West, are opposed to free
wool as we'll as the Republicans. How
ever, there is no sign any Of the West
ern Democrats will refuse to supper,

Draws Dismal Picture.
Senator Catron drew a dismal pic.
ture of the grave results which would
come to the sheep men from putting
wool on the free list. He predicted
cheap labor and the cheap sheep Of Ar
gentina and Australia would cause the
destruction of the sheep and wool In
dustry in this country.
He pointed out tnat 30i, 900 900 pounds
out of the 4s6, ,0O0, 600 used in this coup-
try was raised in the United States.
Senator Cstron went into the history
of the wool industry and depicted Wv
idly the hardships under which the busi-
ness had been built up.
Combines Predicted.
Severe damage to the small herder
and formation of huge combinations Of
sheepmen was predicted. Senator Ca
tron also said the Democrats were play
ing into the hands of foreign trusts.
Senator Catron spoke also of the
damage to the sugar beet
industry and mining.
I'VE may escape some of the effects
of a panic,'' he said, but 1t will be
because of the 500, ,00o. 900 emergency cur
rency provided by a Republican Ad-
