COLLAR "MAKES" THE GOWN
Most Important Accessory May Be
Fashioned In Short Time by
Clever Woman.

A clever collar is made of lace that
Is merely graduated into shape when
sewn on the bodice, while few small
wires at the back of the neck hold it
in place. This is a very easy style to
copy, though 1t must not be con-
founded with the real medici, which Is
more elaborate, and needs to be COM
pleted with sharp corners.
Other collars arc made Of soft white
silk or satin, very much like those
seen In the old paintings of Lord
Byron.
Only these are slightly more eyag-
gerated in style than the Byron col
lar of a few months ago. Many OF
these have a wire run in on either
side to lift them well over the coat
collar, and give that pretty winged
effect which is so immensely becom-
ing to many people. For summer
wear there will be all kinds Of muslin
and embroidered ncckwear but on the
whole the severe modes, after the olu-
fashioned Quaker and Puritan de-
signs, will be most seen.
Any one with clever fingers Is able
to manufacture for herself the dain-
tiest and most charming CONNECTIONS
of this sort with very little expendi-
ture of time or trouble, and, indeed,
there is nothing like fresh and be-
coming collar for making the plainest
OF gowns or blouses attractive.

evening.
Mrs. Dodge, who was noted for her in

surprise. After moments pause, she

"Were you ever blind, Mr.. Evans?"
"No, madam" was the reply.
Ibid you marry wldow?" the woman
inquired.
'No, indeed" he said.
There was silence again while the in
quisitive woman tried to solve the problem
to her satisfaction. Falling to do so, she
asked:
"Didn't I understand you to say, Mr..
Evans, that you had wife and four child
rem in Chicago, and had never seen one OF
them?"

Separation of the Boston & Maine
and the Maine Central railroads has
been accomplished by the action of
the Boston & Names directors in
retiring the 100000 shares of Maine
Central stock, which that corporation
has purchased from the Boston &
Maine in exchange for $40, ZOO, 200
bond issue. BY this transaction con-
troll of the Maine Central passes from
the Boston & Maine to the individual
stockholders, a majority of whom are
Maine people. 1t is understood that
the Boston & Maine directors of the
Maine Central will resign within a
short time, and that the roads will be
managed as separate corporations.

We print on page z a summary of
the annual report of the county COM
missioners of Hancock county. The
figures speak for themselves of the
careful management of the county's
finances by the commissioners and an
accurate accounting by the county
treasurer. Perhaps the most signifi-
cant feature of the report is the show
ing made by Sheriff Silsby's report.
The total number of prisoners in the
county Jail is only about one half the
average-twenty as against forty one
the preceding year. And practically
all this falling of is accounted for in
the smaller number arrested for in
toxication - only Eve last year as
against twenty-four the year before
and fifteen in 1911. This in spite of
the fact that the years. expenditure
for enforcement of the liquor laws
was something like 5000 less than the
preceding year.

Senator Hagerthy, of Ellsworth, is
not allowing the matter of State
highways to rest with the announce
ment by the State highway depart
ment of the routes selected. He
points out in another press interview
that only seven of the thirty seven
towns and plantations of the county
will receive direct benefit from the
route proposed. He believes that the
people generally should receive the
benefits of good roads, as has been
urged by the Maine State grange.
Senator Hagerthy agrees with Sena-
tor Conant, of Waldo, who declared
that the position taken by the State
highway com mission in devoting all
of the good roads bond money to
trunk lines was one never considered
by the legislative committee which
considered the good roads bill.
Senator Conant was chairman of that
committee.

FEAR FEATHER FRAME-UP.
webb Amendment Would Mali

webb Amendment Would Make
Loophole In Plumage Ban.
Scenting scheme to bore loophole in
the law by which Uncle Sam has just been
enabled to protect wild bird life by pro-
hibitiug importation of aigrettes and
other plumage, officers of the National
Association OF Audubon societies have
issued q call to fight the Webb bill, re-
Gently introduced in Congress, which they
declare will serve the interests OF the pro-
fessional bird-butchers of the millinery
market.
By amending the tariff law to admit
plumage held here before its enactment
and taken abroad by residents OF this
country, this measure is sure to open
to the feather hunters an easy way
to defy the federal ban which the people
of all the country demanded last year.
Millions of mother egrets and other wild
birds are being saved from butchery for
their nuptial plumes as a result of the
new Law, it is shown by the Audubon
agents, who believe the proposed amend
ment would render its further enforce
ment farce.
With the customs men helpless to pre-
vent it, the Webb amendment would
iegitimatize a wholesale smuggling Of
plumage that would soon restore their
old market to the men who massacre the
birds of the whole globe to supply the
costly millinery plumes.
"While the successful carrying out of
the provisions OF the new American
feather law marks a milestone in bird
protection among the peoples OF the whole
world, its amendment according to the
Webb hill would surely destroy much OF
its beneficial effect" says T. Gilbert Pear
son, secretary of the National Association
OF Audubon societies. "Backed by the
same sentiment that supported our efforts
that resulted in barring imported plum
age by the tariff, we shall fight any at
tempt such as this to nullify any of it's
provisions, since we know that the
American people are squarely behind the
law as it stands"

Effect of Democratic Tariff.
National Magazine.l

National Mdgdzfne.l
Echoes of tariff legislation are be-
ginning to make people think. Bust
ness men in particular are concerned
over the prospects, and timely advice
in the form of warning reveals the
careful consideration of practical
American minds.
A statement was issued recently by
T. B. Walker, of Minneapolis, whose
wide experience in business life has
furnished him a basis on which to
make forecast. He calls attention
to the fact that s1o0, oOo,00 reduction
on tariff duties has already begun to
make a dumping ground of our home
market, and this is gradually but
eventually reducing the demand on
factories, mills and mines.
The reduction of one-third of the
total amount of the duties collected
will further increase the imports and
reduce prices for goods to such an ex-
tent that factories will have to close
or adjust the wage scale to meet the
reduction in prices necessitated by
tariff changes. Many factories have
transferred their manufacturing
abroad to take advantage of the
cheap labor, and that deducts just SO
much from American payrolls.
Mr.. Walker is optimistic as to the
ultimate result. He believes that the
people have already begun to see
their mistake and will remedy it by
electing an overwhelming majority
for further adjustment of the tariff
along practical lines, based upon facts
determined by a commission rather
than through congressional log
rolling and secret partisan caucus.

Correspondence.
State Highways.


SOUTHWEST HARBoR, Jan. ID, 1914.
To the Ed or of The American:
l have been reading DIR. Hagerthy's
State road articles in the Bangor News,
and l must say that / think the
DOCTORS ideas of a pernan road are
very vague. The various State highways
now in the hands of the com mission to
build, as 1 understand, must be perma-
nent roads, SO that when the two millions
are hired and paid, the roads will still re-
main. In order to do this, the roads must
be built on firm foundation, either on a
gravel or rock foundation.
The new modes of travel require that a
new Kind of road be built-one that will
stand up and not go to the dogs in one
year. Present modes of travel also require
that one driving may see at least 800 feet
ahead at any point, either horizontally or
vertically. This must be done for safety.
In order to get good foundation for
such roads, they must be welt supplied
with culyerts, side-ditches, V drains and
side drains. The surface must be made
OF the hardest material ohtainable, either
crushed stone or gravel.
Now, how many miles of this kind of
road will 100000 build? Is it good BUSH
ness to build road that will be gone be-
fore the bonds are paid?
Now as to the extensive surveys. How
many contractors will take any piece of
road unless they know the amount of
earth and ledge to be moved, and how will
you estimate without the measures?
will also call your attention to the fact
that these roads are not being built by the
peoples money. They are being built en-
tirely by the people owning autos, cost
ing the thousands who use horses and
those who walk not one red cent for what
accommodation it is to them. / do not
think that the matter of State roads is up
to any town having 1000 people and eight
autos. MACADAM.

At the opening of the new year it is
gratifying to note that 1913 was the
most successful year from an agricul-
tural standpoint that this country
has ever experienced. Notwith-
standing adverse climatic conditions,
the total yield of wheat surpassed all
former records, and while the corn
crop fell considerably below the ban
ner production of the preceding year,
higher prices more than compensated
for any loss in output. Consequently,
the value of the nations farm pro-
ducts reached unparalleled. totals,
while the export trade of the United
States in those staples touched figures
never before attained.-DuR's Rerte1o.
