MOTHERS sUs1lE.

Experts in female apparel predict the
return Of the hustle, that leanto to
feminine beauty and attractivenes s
which flourished many years ago when
mother was a girl and longed for the
time when she too might attain the
dignity of bustles. Perhaps in rum
maging thru the old garnet you may
have come upon a wire contraption
which looked like a cross between a
birdcase and a catchers mask and was
supplied with straps and things where
by il might be fastened to the human
form divine. If 30, that was mothers
hustle.
The hustle came in modestly and like
all bad habits which begin mildly and
end arrogantly it grew and grew and
grew like Mr.. Phinney's turnip. When
it reached its zenith it was about the
size Of a four gallon beer keg-!f you
can remember how they looked. 1t was

eral effect Of the hustle OF our mothers.
over and about it were &, aped redin
gotes, pullbacks, dolmans and the other
mysteries of feminine toilet Of that
day. 1t was the precise opposite Of the
sheath gown in that it required imagi-
nation rather than observation to con-
ceive the true outlines OF the female
form. If such a costume were to pass
along the street today it would be fol-
lowed by the curious as the boys tag
the dogs in a Uncle Tom show. A
woman actually built after the speci
fications put forth according to cos
tune would have no trouble finding a
steady job with sides how and her
bones would be preserved in the mu-
scum of ana tomy.
Still If it shall come back to the
back of feminine fashion it shall not
be unWelcome. At least it will be a
change from the Eve like simplicity
of sheath gowns and slit skirts and the
general ballet effects Of the present.
Possibly it will kill of the tango and
the snake dances for the bunny and the
bear and the hustle would constitute a
combination so infinitely ridiculous
that it couldn't exist. Bring on the
hustle and begin to get ready for the
hoop skirt. 1t is time for a revulsion.

. HOURS AND 6 DAYS FOR woMex.

One Of the important measures
awaiting action by the house OF repre-
sentatives is the Peters bill providing
an eight hour day for women en-
ployed in the District OF Columbia In
various occupations, particularly In
factories, laundries and stores.
This measure was introduced at the
request OF the National Consumers
League by Senator La Toilette in the
senate and by Mr.. Peters Of Massachu-
sets in the house. Last winter nine
hearings were held upon the bill be-
fore the committees of the house anu
senate. 1t was passed by the senate
last February. but was blockaded IN
the house and failed to pass in spite
of the best efforts Of its friends. Now
the bill has again been passed by the
present senate and recently it was ia
vorably reported by the labor COM
mittee of the house. 1t remains there
fore, only to be passed by the house OF
representatives in order to afford to
women working in the District OF CO.
lunlbia, much needed protection from
overwork.
The District Of Columbia, the seat of
the capital Of the nation, may reason
ably be expected to lead all the states
in measures for promoting pubic
health and welfare. Thirty seven
states, however. are at this time far in
advance Of it, in protecting women
from excessive hours Of labor. The
district has now no restrictions what
soever upon them. Four states. Arr
IONA, California, Colorado and WASH
ington already provide the eight-hour
day for working women.
The investigation of the federal bu-
reau OF labor showed that about 20
per cent Of the working women investi-
gated. who were employed in the mer-
camille establishments of the district,
worked overtime during the week be-
fore Christmas in the year 1912. Thir-
ty-one per cent Of this number worked
from seventy-five to eighty hours.
Sixty-nine per cent worked seventy
hours or more during that week. Many
worked fourteen to fifteen hours on the
day before Christmas. 1nasmuch as
the house OF representatives failed to
enact the Peters bill. presumably the
same overwork again existed last
month. The bureau Of labor also found
excessive hours Of labor required in the
laundries and such factories as exist
in the district. Thus. instead of pro-
viding model for the states TO copy,
the District Of Columbia lags IN the
rear. Congress has power to apply the
remedy; the senate has twice acted ia
vorably. Such national bodies as the
National Consumers League. the
American Association for Labor Leg
islation, the American Federation OF
Labor are working hard to insure i'm

the old apple tree is now coming into

These Iowa towns are in favor of good

halls, new court houses, Carnegie
library buildings, each and all Of these
things cost money. and when set OF
men, taxpayers vote the necessary

into their own pockets, why whereas
such towns once existed, now they
grow. Better than an-virtue is its
own reward-they eventually get all
this well spent money back with COM

population to help pay, said tax money.
Right square in this line is all the
newspaper talk over the improvements

never has been and there is not now
any opposition worth mentioning to
this proposition. Not to impute mo-
tives, but this to say, the average
voter sees in the actions Of the men
who started the lawsuit and subse-
quent announcement OF making it q
political issue an attempt to acquire
a reputation "as watch dogs Of the
treasury" and then hoist themselves in
Office as a reward Of their vigilance.
The writer knows what he is talking
about. The average voter took but
little interest in the matter in the first
place, and when the legislature de-
cided to act, the voters endorsed their
action exactly in the way az they did
other legislation. And in the same
