THB FEDERAL TRADE
COMMISSION.

When Congress reassembles in WASH
ington In December President Wilson
will send to the Senate the names OF
ave men who will constitute the first
federal trade commission. When these
nominations have been confirmed and
tho commission organizes, a new era
In American business will have begun.
The federal trade commission act,
which was signed by the President
September rs. is one Of the half dozen
most important legislative acts of
American history. That It was passed
through both houses Of Congress with
what amounted to practical unanimity
is proof that tho legislation was de-
sired by men OF all parties and that
its subject matter was carefully
thought out.
That the subject was taken up at
all was. Of course. due to President
Wilson's including it m his legisla-
tive program. That SO little has been
said about 1t Is due not to its lack of
crossing subject Of the Eur opean war.
This article does not pretend to be a
discussion of the principles on which
the new law is based. or of the prob
q plain description Of what the new
commission will be.
In the first place. it will be indie

which will cease to exist All the rec
records of the new commission. and
this fact will greatly facilitate the Or
ganization Of the new trade body.
The federal trade commission will
have authority to regulate COM
merce. According to the act. com
merce" means commerce among the
several states, or with foreign nations,
or in any territory of the United
States: or in tho District of Column
bia, or between any such territory
and another. or between any such
territory and any state or foreign
nation, or between the District of CO.
lumbia and any state or territory or
foreign nation" In other words, com
merce," within the meaning of the act,
is any commerce that crosses a state
line or goes outside the boundary of
a nation or lies within any federal
territory. This Is the full extent of
the power granted to. Congress under
the interstate and foreign commerce
clause Of the Constitution.

The wide scope Of the act and the
tremendous power granted to the new
commission are
Unfair Competition contained in
Declared Unlawful. Sentences see '~ of
section I'VE of the act. They read:
That unfair methods Of competition

ject to the acts to regulate commerce..
from using unfair methods of compe-
tition In commerce"
Congress has not attempted to say
what is an unfair method of compe-
in its Quasi-legislative capacity, and
at the same time the commission is
empowered in its quasi-judicial capac-
ity to prevent the use of such methods.
This means that the small business
man, who is being crushed by the un-'

a place to go and make himself heard
in the confident hope of receiving the
protection Of his government.
Orders of the commission to any per-
son or corporation, requiring a cessa-

hand, any concern against which such

SOLDIERS HOME
OFFICERS ANGRY

I. San Francisco, Oct. 2S.-Every
member of the board of directors of
the Veterans Home at Yountville, and
Col. w. II. C. Bowen, U. S. A., retired,
commandant of the home, gave out
Iblistering denials yesterday of the
story being circulated by the Fred
ericks' newspapers that the 20 soldiers
released from the home had been dis
charged because they registered Re-
publican and favored Fredericks for
governor.
The whole story is characterized as
an outrageous bit of political infamy
by Colonel Bowen and every director,
This discharge of the soldiers was
simply the working of an annual
weeding-out process which is done in
every Veterans home of the country
each year.
| 1t was done upon the advice of
lCol. j. C. Wadsworth, inspector for
the National Board of Managers for
Soldiers Homes, the representative
of the national government, which
pays the State $100 a year toward
the maintenance of each inmate of
the Yountville home.
AS result of the publication of
the story the directors of the home
will meet in special session at the
home today to discuss action against
the editors who have printed what
they declare to be libelous and ly-
ing accusation.
According to the story which is now
being industriously exploited by the
Fredericks' newspapers, 20 aged, in

WYE have gone back to the 10th
( M century for our fashion in
w spiration, and have partly
forgotten for the time being the ORR
entail influence that has charmed us
for so long. The days Of 80 and of
80 are reappearing; the tight basque,
the redingote and the polonaise are
giving quaint trend TO the styles of
this fall.
Semi-fitting, not tight basque, is the
right term, very decidedly suggesting
the curve of the figure in front and
looser in the back. The most effec-
tive of these are buttoned straight
down the front or are more effec-
lively held with snap fasteners under
shrrings and trimmings and run to a
point about six inches below the
waist line. Set-in sleeves--tight old
fashioned sleeves that run clear to
the wrist-are necessary adjunct to
this odd fashion. This same semi
fitted idea is also produced by the
wide girdle that is brought well up
over the bust and is drawn tight
enough at the waist line to give a
curved effect in front, then the sash
runs down the back to tie at the hip
line in the fashion that Premct intro

wanted to reduce Governor Johnsen's
vote in Napa county.
"Poiitics has never for an instant
entered into the management of this
home and this whole story is a string
of the most mendacious and damn
able lies I ever have encountered"
declared Colonel Bowen yesterday.
Until about year ago Colonel Bowen
was commandant of the San Fran
cisco Preside.
"Every one of these men were dis
missed because the rules of the home
and the laws of California required
it. Not one of us knew or cared
anything about their politics or how
they were registered politically.
"The attempt to make political cap
ital out of thing that has been a
custom here for years is the most
contemplate piece of work in my ex-
perience. 1t is an outrage"
Gen. Samuel W. Backus, president
of the Board of Directors, who was
appointed by Governor Budd, char
acterized the story as the most amaz-
ing piece of piltical skull-duggery of
his knowledge.
"The story is simply a bare-faced,
malicious, vindictive, outrageous and
damnable lie," said General Backus.
"Om action in giving these men
honorable discharges was done after
Colonel Wadsworth had told us that
the government would not make any
allowance for men in the home who
had been restored to health and were
able to earn a living on the outside
"Dr. McRae, surgeon of the home,
examined these men with the utmost
care, and pronounced them able
bodied and fully capable of earning
their living. One was discharged for
drunkenness"
The move to weed out the able
bodied veterans who were not entitled
to the support of the home was be-
gun six months ago, according to
Director Hugh M. Burke, who was
also appointed by Governor Budd.
"Some months ago complaint was
made by the government that many
robust young fellows were able to
work, and the board made an order
that the surgeons should examine all
the young men who had been restored
to health. The order for discharge
included only those able to work who
wouldn't work.
"The law applies to every soldiers

RUSSIAN INFLUENCE.

The Oriental influence may have
grown away from the sloppy effect,
but it is still strongly evident in the
Russian tunic and the Cossack bodice,
which maintain strong fall vogue in
spite of their great favor of the past
season. One reason for the continu
ance of the long graceful lines of the
Russian tunic is its becomingness to
women of stouter figures and larger
hips who have been in despair at the
bouffant draperies of the past season.
The narrow underskirt which still ac-
companies this tunic is being trimmed
in some of the Paris dresses to have
the appearance of a boot top-a
purely Russian inspiration. The

has been no departure from it for 20
years."
The G.. A. R. veterans on the board
turned this pruning into the hands OF
the Spanish war members of the
board because only veterans of that
war were liable to be affected by the
order. The recommendation for dis
missals was made by Directors Hin

The second session of the 63rd Con-
gress has been remarkable in many
ways. 1t is the longest session ever
held. 1t has heard more speeches and
piled up a larger record than any
other previous session in the history
Of the United States. The Congress
sional Record will have 10000 pages;
where as the greatest number hereto
fore was $4,000 pages. The session
has done the following important
things:
Passed the Federal Reserve act, re-
vising the banking and currency laws.
Repealed the exemption clause of
the Panama Canal act, thereby i'm
posing tolls upon American coastwise
ships.
Passed the Clayton Antitrust act.

NO MORE SLOUGH!

Semi-ftting fashions mean change
in the figure line-an emphasis on the
outline of the bust, hint of a waist
that Oriental styles omit, a fiat back
and absence of curve at the hips. Two
important style changes are the re-
suit The so-called debutant slouch
is passed into oblivion; higher cor
sets are fashionable necessity to
maintain the raised bust line and the
closer waist. The high-cut shoulder,
the high armhole and the high-set
sleeve are prominent in dresses as in
coats and suits, and have the general
tendency to increase the long, round
effect and the low waist line, the
fashionable waist line at present. .

EVENING SHEERNESS.

Last season we were talking about
transparent effects in dress for even
ing, but this year the decolletage is
referred to as the nude bodice
extremely low and held to the figure
with strings of jewels, for example.
Hand in hand with this uncovering is
an appropriate' use of chiffony. sttlffs,
chief among them the butterfly mar
quisettes and voiles, new weaves that
have substantial wearing qualities
added to their delightful gauziness
and colorings.
Illustrating the increased shortness
in evening attire comes an imported
frock of daphne silk, that diaphanous
stuff that seems especially made for

appeal to the woman who is seeking
individuality in dress. 4

Parisians have revived silk cashmeres
in heavy weight for dressy afternoon
costumes that are worn with velvet
coats. This points also to the Paris
favor for fall velvets.

y Beside these wonderful figured
combinations, the general color tend

afternoon and still brighter for even-

this new effect The cross-over pieces
