American labor has competition enough

in these tailored hats. They are made

but are soft and flexible There is
nothing rigid looking about even the
plainest one.
In this particular group. fancy feath-
ers and wings, with a little ribbon,

bers of novelties manufactured for
trimming tailored hats. Pompons Of
ostrich feathers, or silk fibre, and
many fancy ornaments which combine
feathers and silk fibre are conspicu-
Gus among them.
If you are q business girl choose a
tailored hat for daily wear. 1t may
be daring in shape, gay in color, and
in one or the other of these particu-
lars it should be unusual 1t may be
all black, but so full of snap that it
will strike everyone like cool breeze

better grades of the fabric, there are
designs showing widely scattered fig
ures CASUALLY little flower forms) on
a plain ground And in the lighter col
ors particularly, there are many beau
tiful, changeable effects.
A French and an American model
are shown here, both in plain taffeta,
as it happens, but even more effective
in the changeable silk. The American
gown has a let-in sleeve, although it
has a kimono sleeve effect. The
long "V" shaped opening at the neck
is finished with a ruffled puff of the
taffeta. Under this there is frill Of
black lace-edged net. The sleeves
elbow length-are finished with dou-
BILE ruffie taffeta with a frill of the
black net falling from them.
The short tunic is side plated and
trimmed with narrow ruffles gathered
on to form deep scallops. There are
two rows of this narrow ruffling. The
underskirt Is plain.
In the French gown the tunic is
longer and fuller and caught up at
the right side. 1t is finished with a
ruffle and drawn in about the knees.
The very ample neck opening is sup
piled with two folds of white net.
With this gown the narrow neck
band and bracelets of velvet ribbon
give pretty finishing touch.

I'm tne street a greater number OF
~ light wool dresses are worn than
any other. But for indoor wear gowns
of taffeta outnumber all others in about
the proportion of two to one. One
has only to take note at the matinee,
the afternoon tea, or any other dem1-
dress occasion to find how strong Is
the liking for this material AS the
weather grows warmer it would not be
surprising to find the taffeta gown,
with short jacket, outnumbering cloth
suits Tor street wear.
1t is sensible plan, when making
up taffeta dress, to make two waists.
One, having the body and sleeves of
lace, with some sort of drape of the
taffeta, and one of taffeta finished with
sleeve ruff1es of net or lace and wired
f1aring collar. This widens its op-
portunities for usefulness SO much
that one gown comes very near to fit
ting all occasions.
Skirts of taffeta are provided with
tunics long and short, with slight bus
tie drapery and with apron overskirts
draped in the back. For decoration,
one may look for inspiration to the
gowns of the sixties, made Of the same
charming fabric. There are box and
knife plaitings. ruchings and bound
edges. Occasionally ruchings with
pinked edges. In keeping with the
material the garnitures are quaint and
"old-timey."

'The only reason that homeopaths
have remained independent of the old
schools is that they are adhering to a
principle" said DR.. Dewitt G. Wilcox,
president of the American Institute of
Homeopathy, in his address on THE
Renaissance of Homeopathy. AS
soon as that principle is recognized by
the rank and file of physicians, they
will gladly renounce their identity as
a separate school. Last month the

exclusive school organization, recog-
nized the American Institute OF
Homeopathy on the same terms as
the American Medical association"

New Venture In La Crosse.

The distinction of being the first
town in the western hemisphere where
a cooperative packing plant has been
started goes to La Crosse, and is the
opening wedge to scores of towns all
over the country, according to F. A.
;. Price, chairman of the national or
ganization committee, and third vice
president of the American Society Of
Equity.
An organization, under the co-opera-
tive laws of Wisconsin, has already
been effected at La Crosse, with q
capitalization of $250,000, of which
100000 has already been subscribed
and most of which has been paid in.
The company is buying the Lang.
don-Boyd packing plant, which Mr..
Price said is worth about $4,000.
and is securing it at bargain Of
$4,000, including all assets, physical
and voluntary. 1t has capacity of
1000 hogs a week, and 500 head Of
cattle. It is contemplated to provide
cold storage plant, which will pro-
vide a capacity Of 600 hogs day,
with excellent storage facilities.
No more than $1,000 worth of stock
is permissible to one man, and but
one vote is allowed. This. together
with the fact that the executive COM
mittee is composed Of two business
men and five farmers, guarantees con-
troll of the company to the farmer.
1t is known as the Farmers Co.
operative company of La Crosse, and
has for it's president Ire NJ. J. Chryst
Of Hudson, who Is also president OF
the American Society of Equity.
The American Society Of Equity, Mr..
Price points out, has for its policy as
sistance in securing for the farmer
just and profitable prices for farm
products. He further says the society
has been very successful in it's grain
exchange, wool growers exchange at
Minneapolis and tobacco growing de-
partments in Kentucky.

URGES HIGHER FEES
FOR NONRES|DENTS
6. P. HAMBREcHT HAS UNIVERSE
TY PLAN THAT WOULD SAVE
TAXPAYERS $5Coooo.
TELLS BOARD OF VISITORS
He Believes Students From Other
States Should Be Required to
Pay $500 Annually Instead
Of SIS.

Madison.-As q means of saving
100000 annually to the taxpayers OF
Wisconsin in supporting the state uni
versity the board of visitors of the uni
versity may recommend that the an
nual tuition fees of nonresident stu
dents be increased from STE to $500.
Former Assemblyman George P.
Hambrecht of Grand Rapids, member
Of the board formally presented the
matter to that body and urged that 1t
recommend that the fees for non-res1-
dent students be increased to cover
the reasonable cost of their instruc-
ton. An investigation, he believed,
would show that this cost was about
$500 for each nonresident student
The board will take action on June 10
when it will hold joint meeting with
the board of regents.
The number of nonresident students
in the university, according to Mr..
Hambrecht, is nearly one-third of the
entire body, and during the last ten
years had increased four times as fast
the number Of resident students, Mr..
Hambrecht said. Stating it another
way, the increase in the number OF
nonresident students during the last
ten years had been about 200 per cent
and in resident students about 40 per
cent 1t was highly desirable to have
cosmopolitan student body at the uni
versity, Mr.. Hambrecht said, but he
believed that this advantage could still
be retained if the fees for non residents
were reasonably increased.
The board of visitors will probably
recommend to the board of regents
that the position of dean for men stu
dents be created. Sach an officer
would be of great help to the men stu
dents, it is believed, The woman stu
dents now have a dean, who has
proved exceedingly helpful
The board also considered the qnes-
ton of recommending a change in the
present practise of pledging students
to university fraternities and sorori-
ties so that the rushing" season
would come in the first instead of the
second semester and the pledging and
the pledging and initiation come at
the beginning of the second semester
instead of at the end of it. The pro-
posed change also contemplates that
no student be pledged or initiated I'M
til he has successfully passed all ex-
aminations at the end of the first SEM
ester.
All of these matters will be consid-
cred and decided by the board of Wis
itors on June Is. The board will then
present it's recommendations to the
board of regents, the controlling body
of the university.
