No Standardized pres..

1t Is a pleasure to stamp despiteful-
ly on the praise of Prof. Walter Sar-
gent Of Chicago for the Chinese Gus
tom of zone established style of dress
for women"
Life might be cheaper under such
dull. gray provision of costume.
But it would certainly not be worth
living. The whole trouble with cos
tunes today is that they are too much
alike. Instead Of designing a dress
that is becoming to her own dimen-
sions. proportions and other endow-
ments Of nature, the average woman
accepts the fashion Of the hour, what
ever 1t may be-large sleeves, small
hips, no waist or whatever the fash
lon may decree.
What is needed is not more stand
ardization, but more individuality in
dress. A declaration OF independence
is the crying feminine need of the
hour-not uniform designed by any
board of economists.-New York
Tribune.

Jokes about the slowness of trains,

Atlanta railway man, also tire me a bit

far between on branch line in Mis-

than the people at the junction, except
the people on the line itself. One day
the newsdealer came to me grinning.
"A fellow from the other end Of the
line Just said funny thing" he re-
marked. He had missed his train
and there wasn't another for two
hours. He came to my stall to buy
some reading matter to while away
the time. He asked for a joke book.

Warrington, D. C.-Senate Demo-
Gratis succeeded Thursday for the first
time in speeding up on the tariff bill,
making considerable progress in the
metal schedule despite protests of
Senators Oliver, Smith Of Michigan,
Cummins and Smoot against many Of
the rates.
Chief opposition centered In the
rates on automobiles, which the com
mittee fixed At Is per cent on cars
valued At $1,000 or less; so per cent
on cars vsl.se1 1t more than $1,000 and
les than 1880; IS per cent on cars
valued at $500 and over, and 80 per
cent on automobile parts. Senators
Cummins and Smoot both insisted that
the rates on completed cars would be
useless, because all foreign cars would
be brought in at the 80 per cent rate,

Efforts Of Senator Oliver also were
unevailing to increase the rates on
Iron products. His argument was that

Senator Brandegee sought to amend
the automobile rates by making the
rates on chassis equal to the rates on
finished cars-45 per cent on chassis
or high-priced cars and 80 per cent on
chassis cars valued at $1,000 or less
than $500 and Is per cent on chassis
Of cars valued at less than $1,000. The

then approved.
The rs per cent rate on bicycles and
