WASHINGTON Dec. 1.-Repres en-
tative Bartholda Of st. Louis Satur-
day introduced bill comforting upon
Secretary of War Garrison authority
to prescribe reasonable rates which
may be charged by the Keokuk and
Hamilton Water Power company for
furnishing electric light and power to
ST. Louis and other cities. The bill
proposes to add a new section to the
act under which the Keokuk company
obtained it's charter to construct the
Keokuk dam. The bill is sufficiently
broad to enable Garrison to prescribe
the rates which may be charged by
distributing companies in st. Louis
and elsewhere.
The bill reads as follows:
THAT the charges for electric
energy and power to be fixed by the
Keokuk and Hamilton Water Power
company. or by any distributing com
pany which it may supply, shall be
reasonable and just, and that the sec
rotary of war may at any time, and

THE NEW SASHES HAVE
A DECIDED PURPOSE.

Although the sash ends may float in
the wind as of old with no aim aside
from the decorative, yet they may be
decidedly useful, too, in more ways
than one. To merge waist with hip
line was their first mission, and they
have gradually found many other little
ways to add to the effect of the gown.
A clever arrangement of sash ends
may be seen in se61. Here they serve
to bring about the effect of pannier
by catching up the tunic. They also
lend pretty finish to the blouse.
Lace is very popular this season. and
