have gone the way of the crlnolines
Of a generation back. That it would
ever return was seemingly as impos-
sible as that the ladies should all
decide to cut off their hair. Yet no
mSn may deny the evidence that his
eyes bring to him: something men,
acingly like the hustle has attached
itself to the mode of many frocks of
the moment, and its appearance is
more frequently noted week by week.
To allude thus publicly to these
conditions is not intended as an IN
citement to riot or revolution. It is
rather by way of impressing that a
grave situation exists. and j. may as
well be squarely met. The Mexican
crisis, the canal problem. the busl-
ness situation, the political outlook,
may we'll be thrust aside long enough
to give attention to the danger now
confronting the community Con-
gress is in session. 1t has plenty OF
time on its hands FOR comparatively
bcotless converse. Can't the inter-
state commerce clause be stretched

AMBASSADORIAL RESI-.
DENCES.

The Senate committee has strick-
en- from the diplomatic appropriation
bill its provisions for buying nmbas-
sa6orial and legation residences in
foreign capitals. The total of these
items was small, and represented
cnly a modest beginning. There was
provision for Si5O.GO0 cath for Mex
leo City and Tokyo, and $4,000 for
Berne. 1t was merely more def
rite commitment to i policy that al
most everybody really favors.
Economy, for the moment, is, OF
course. the excuse. But there will
always be that excuse, and others
may be devised if needed.
No country sends abroad more
travellers than the United States;
none has a more insistent interest in
maintaining a dignified establish
ment in the commercial and dipto-
matte centers. Yet it is utterly i'm
possible, under present conditions,
to do this.
1t will be altogether unfortunate
if this beginning in the proper pro-
vision for housing our diplomats is
killed. We are talking vastly, these
times, about the need of encouraging
and expanding our foreign trade.
One Of the very first things needed
to make the right impression in the
countries where we seek trade is to
give our foreign representatives a
chance to hold up their heads and
maintain their seif-respect before
their associates in diplomacy and

THE FOURTH" FUND.

Appeal is being made by the Citi-
zens' independence Day celebration
committee for a more liberal Gona-
uion Of funds to carry out the pro-
gram arranged for July 4. There is
need of prompt response # the af-
fair shall be made successful.
The committee has tried to ar
range a program that will contain
appeal to all tastes, that will be
wholesome, healthful, safe, and in
teresting to both participants and
spectators. There has been constant
ly in mind the purpose of keeping
strictly within the lines of safety
and sanity, while appealing to those
sentiments that the occasion inspires.
Parents concerned to guard their
children against the dangers of sur
reptitious infraction of the rules of
safety for such an occasion will sure
ly realize that this effort to direct
the enthusiasms OF the day into right
channels, deserves support. The gen.
eral committee has sent out a large
number of letters, and will be thank
full for early responses and such lib
erality as may be possible.

THE BUSTLE EN- ROUTE ?

The women of the Federation of
Women's Clubs, now holding their
convention at Chicago, have been
talking about present-day fashions
in feminine apparel. Some of the
speakers have said perfectly horrid
things about the way the ladies are
getting themselves up, ard the Eum-
rer of times they change their
clothes, and all such. Much of what
has been said is true, too, if the
opinion of the vast majority of COM
rentators is to be taken as a cri-
terion.
But what shall be done about it?
The worst is yet TO come, if we may
Judge by some manifestations which
more and more frequently are noted.

LET THIS BILL PASS!

The treaty on safety-at-sea mas
been authorized to be .eported to
the Senate, from the Committee on
Foreign Relations. Into it has final
ly been written 4 proviso, in effect,
that the United States reserves to
itself the right to, impose on all YES
sells entering American ports, such
higher standards of safety and such
provisions for the health and we'll
peing of passengers, especially i'm
migrants, as it shall enact for vessels
of the United States.
That is, we reserve the power to
compel other countries vessels, if
they would enter our ports, to COM
ply with the same conditions we i'm
pose on our own vessels.
This is the first feature that the
advocates of effective safety legisla-
ton have been demanding. This
much gained, there is no further ex-
cuse Cor failure TO pass the pending
seamen's bill, raising the safety and
health standards for American ves-
scls. AS the treaty was first brought
into the Senate, it would have taken
away from our Government the pow
er to impose our conditions on YES
sells of other countries. 1t would
have left us in the strange position
IF being compelled to patronize for
cign ships-having very few Of our
own-and to provide harborage for
them, and yet in nowise protect our
own people in them.
As amended, the treaty opens the
way to real sea-safety enactments
The seamen's bill has of necessity
been held up pending determination
as to the treaty. But the treaty
is now approximately assured OF
ratification; all the opposition that
has been so st-enuously pressed
against it will be withdrawn. Wheth-
or it will be ratified by the European
countries in the form the Senate mas
given it is another question.
The President has given assur,
ances that he will help get the bill
rassed, now that the treaty is out
of the way. There is no longer &
good excuse for delay. The case i:
toe complete. Let it b. reviewed
just in a word:
Ship owners ina:sted that vessel:

Titanic brought answer to thai
claim.
| Ship owners declared that sl.illet
seamen to handle vessels and life
boats were not essential to safety
The Volturno brought answer t.
that.
Ship owners protested that vessels
could be navigated safely along th'
coast with an officer on the bridge

out, and a watchman anywhere. Th'

PURE FABRIC LAW.

Recent PRONUNCIATION of regula-
tions putting into effect the met
weight law" which requires manu-
facturers of articles Of food shipped
in interstate commerce to mark the
packages with a clear statement of
the weight or volume of contents,
and stiIl more recent agitation for a
pure fabric bill, reflect the public de-
nand to be informed as to what it is
nuying and how much it is likely
70 get.
The met weight law" became ef-
fective on May II, when the regula-
lions were signed and promulgated
by the Secretaries of the Treasury,
Agriculture, and Commerce, but the
axacting of penalties for violation is
deferred until September l. This is
designed to afford manufacturers an
opportunity to use up the labels they
have already in stock on which the
statement of quantity does not ap-
pear.
A trade organ has been conducting
among textile dealers and manufac-
turers an investigation of the dcsira-
bility from their point of view of a
uure fabric law, and this has devel-
oped the fact that about six in ten
favor some such regulation. They
differ decidedly, however, on how far
the measure should go and the pro-
visions it should contain.

dealers want, no doubt the public

Yet the Empress of Ireland sank

Grafton, and vessels within call.
They came too late, and 1927 peo-
lie were lost.
Can there be any possible excuse,
in view of this array of testimony,
for longer delaying the needed leg
islation?
That disasters are increasing with
the decrease in the skill of seamen,
is indicated by the fact that in each
five years from 1850 to the present
there has been a constant and steady
increase in loss of life, until in the
last four years and five months more
than 5000 lives have been lost in
passenger vessels.

FOR THE BIG FLIGHT.

Glenn H. Curtiss may be too opti-
mistic when he announces that "the
aerial conquest of the Atlantic is as
good as accomplished" but there can
be no doubt that he has perfected
motors which seem equal to the task
of driving plane and its passen-
ger across the sea. This il the ma
thine in which Lieutenant Porte, who
Is backed by Rodnlan Wanamaker,
expects to make the flight. Since the
Geath of the English aviator, Hamel,
a few weeks ago, Porte has been the
only aviator and Curtiss' the only
machine considered for the great at
tempt.
The two motors, each of 10G-horse-
lower, were carefully tested at Ham,
nondsport and ran without hitch
for thirty hours, ten hours longer
Than the ocean flight is expected to
consume. Their speed was never less
than thousand revolutions a min
ute, although 600 revolutions is con-
sidered fast enough for the task.
What is most important, the gaso-
icne consumed, about nine gallons
al hour, is considerably less than the
motors are built to carry.

this subject Of the Sabbath-'the Sab
bath was made for man. not man Tor
the Sabbath" In that principle rishtiy
understood lies the clue for the un-
raveling OF Sabbath observance. The
Jewish religionists maintained that tne
necessities Of mans nature must give
way to the rigor of the enactment.
Christ taught that the enactment must
Weld to mans necessities. They said
that the Sabbath was written in the
Rook of the Law; lie said that IL was
written on mans nature, and that the
law was merely meant to be in accord
ance with that nature. They based the
