It is the novelty of things
which make them SO attrac-
tive to us. There are novelty
and distinctiveness displayed
in every summer dress in our
store. Haven't you found
that when you make your
dresses at home, you can't
reproduce the stylish lines
that ready-to-wear garments
have? You couldn't be ex-
pected to do this because one
person can't copy a dress
which was originally planned
by six or seven persons, each
contributing an idea or touch
to that dress. This fact
makes ready-to-wear gar
ments SO attractive. We
have some unusually pretty
summer dresses this year
made up in very pleasing and
distinctive styles, from the
materials current this season.
You will find everything on
these garments in keeping,
there is nothing out of taste
or in extreme style. The
workmanship is excellent,
the buttons, hooks and eyes
or patent fastners are we'll
sewed on and the seams we'll
bound. For style, fit and
comfort you will tind that
these dresses are just what
you wanted.
While parasols have been
used to some extent previous
seasons if has been some time
since they we're absolutely
essential to the complete
dress as they are this year.
Novelty shapes and colors in
parasols predominant this
season. We are showing
some very pretty shapes
which are not extreme in
shape but more exaggerated
styles. The parasols would
make excellent graduation
gifts. We invite you to come
in and see them.
Ladies fine gauze ribbed
union suits with low neck
and lace knees, others with
tight knees, special at 800
and 48c a suit.
Straw hat time is here.
We have hats of every
shape and size for every
head. We are showing some
very good styles in children's
every day hats at Csc each.
Also dress hats of good soft
straws from 6Oc to $500.
We carry the Cumfy- Cut
underwear for ladies, both in
suits and vests. These gar
ments are very cool in sum-
mer, the straps don't slip
over the shoulder aud they
are cut low SO they don't
show above yokes and thru
thin summer dresses.

that the work Of the Arbitration

THE OUTLOOK

A great deal of misunderstanding
and confusion is likely to arise when
any measures are proposed affecting
labor organizations. That is partly
due to the fact that the old relation
Of master and servant no longer ex-
lists and can no longer exist in our
great industries, and yet the law re-
garding employer and employe is
based on that individualistic relation.
Consequently labor legislation must, In
It's nature be radical in the sense that
1t must go to the roots of things, for
the great industrial change has been
radical. At this time, when congress
has been considering two important
measures affecting labor unions. there
has therefore arisen a great deal Of
misunderstanding and confusion.
M The two measures to which we re-
Ter are two provisions in the so-called
antitrust bills. r"'''.* v - ..' ,.
Both Of these provisions have been
denounced as class legislation. as at
tempts to give special privileges to
labor unions, as efforts to placate the
voters by special legis-
lation placing them outside the reach

fact, whatever defects there may be in
the phraseology, both of these pro-
visions are; attempts to render: the law
consistent with the change in indus

self. The purchaser of q comm odfty
does not inquire whether the seller is
thrifty or has good habits; all that he
wants to know is whether his goods
are all that the seller represent them
to be. The man who hires labor, on
the other hand, is very much con
cerned with the habits, the charactef.
OF the person he hires. Such a5differ-s
ence as this law ought to srecog-
nize. II it does not recognize it, the
law ought to be changed. han The United
States courts have declared IN sub
stance that m the anti-trust law does not
recognize this difference between the
rights that man has in things that
he happens to own and the right that
he has over himself. Since the anti
trust law does not recognize, the dif.
ference, congress ought to amend the
law. It ought to do 30 openly and
