WITH CURVED OR STRAIGHT LOWEB
Combination garments really make

which combines the advantages of chemise
and corset cover with drawers, is essen
tally practical. 1t is absolutely simple,
too, and can be easily and quickly made.
There are only the front and back por.
lions and the closing is made invisibly
at the front, while, at the waist line,
there is beading to regulate the size.
The curved lower edges finished with
iril's Of lace are pretty but a very dainty
effect can be obtained by cutting the
lower edges straight and s%calloping them,
and hand embroidered underwear is as
smart as it is essentially feminine and
attractive. Batiste and nainsook are the

New Basis For Rate Making.

WASHINGTON, June l0.-Lawyers
who gathered today in the supreme
court to listen to the application of
the principles laid down by Justice
Hughes in the Minnesota rate case to
the rate cases from Missouri, Arkan-
sas. Kentucky, Oregon and West Vir.
ginia were of the opinion that rate
making both in the states and before
the federal government has been re-
duced to much more accurate basis
than ever before.
The prospects OF congress taking
charge OF state rates affecting inter-
state commerce indirectly lent encour-
agement to the railroads that they
would escape from regulation by
forty eight state commissions. The
attempt OF railro ads to establish the
cost OF rebuilding their property new
as equiv alent to the "fair value" on
which they we're entitled to earn rates
was reg erded as doomed. The feder'
al court in Minnesota adopted tha
basis.

The Habit Of Putting OF.

THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.

The question IL often asked, how the
president gets his salary-whether he
goes to the treasury at the end OF each
working day and draws his 24O-odd
dollars, or whether he waits till the
end of the week. month or term for
his money. The answer is that he
does get his money direct from the
treasury. and he is the only govern.
ment official who is thus paid. Aud
his paydays are once month-on
the last working day OF the month.
President Wilson had to wait till
March 81 for his first taste OF Uncle
Sans money. Then he got an sac.
countable warrant for $5,625.
This was figured to cover the por-
tion of the whole month beginning
with March 1, counting the month as
80 days. Actually he did not take Of
fee till after noon of the 4.h, and
President Taft held down the job till
that hour. But this was by fiction.
The administration is supposed to end
with midnight OF March 3, but it would
be inconvenient to transfer the govern
ment at such time aud 80 the change
10 made Il hours later. No fractions
of days are recognized, however, In
paying presidents and the halliday
President Taft did not get paid for on
March was made up by the extra
halliday he was paid for at the be.
ginning OF his term.

WALSH EXPLAINS VIEWS.
Montana Senator Gives Testimony In
Lobby investigation

WASHINGTON, June 10. - Senator
Walsh OF Montana, who is one OF the
mem bers OF the senate committee in
vestig ating lobbying, yesterday was
placed on the stand before his COL
leagues to tell what he knows of lob
byirg in connection with the pending
tariff bill. Senator Walsh frankly
admitted that he does not approve the
Underwood bill in its present form,
especially as 1t affects Montana indus
tries, going into some detail % to the
position he has heretofore outlined.
he said that on various occasions
he had talked With other democratic
senators regarding the pending bill
and had done his utmost to convince
them to the advissbility Of placinR a
revenue duty on both wool and,sugar,
and on come other Montana products
that are now on the FREQ list In the
Underwood bill. He has thuslappeal.
ed to Ch sirman Simmons aud to Sens.
tors Bsnkhesd, Lea and other mem
bers of the finance committee and at
meetings OF western democratic sens.
tors, whose tariff views generally coin
eide with his own. Senator Walsh
said he had taken occasion to forci.
bly, explain bis views on the pending
bill and the necessity Of amendment.
In doing this, he maintained he had
done nothing improper, and he did
not consider himself a lobbyist be-
cause of his activity.
As to professional lobby lists, Sena-
tor w Walsh said that none had appe ar.
ed before him, and that no one, at any
time, had sought improperly to in.
aueuce his vote on the tariff bill. He
had no knowledge whatever of the i'm
proper use of money to promote any
tariff lobby and knew no instance
where money or other consideration
had been held out as an inducement
to influence the votes of senators.
