Dwelling in
the Realms of
a Prophecy
Small Reason for congratulation In
the Increase Of Revenue From
Increased Importations

The claim of Mr.. Underwood, in
his speech of June 81, that the Gus.
toms receipts under the Free Trade
tariff of October 3, 1918, were $22,-
100000 larger than during the co..
responding period of the Payne tar.
If law, and his prediction of pros
porous conditions under the existing
law, brought out a spirited debate.
Mr.. Payne, of New York, started tie
discussion by saying:
1t is all prophecy, and you have
been prophesying from the time you
put this law on the statute book up
to the present time. You p"ophesied
you were not going to have any trou.
BILE. You did not have any trouble,
you said there was no trouble, with
business; everything was lovely. And
while everybody else in the United
States whose judgment was of any
account knew that business was rot

statement, and finally an intimation
OF the condition Of business got to
the White House, and the President,
who was optimistic and had been
telling that there was not anything
the matter with business, finally I'D.

Looking for Those Blossoms
When you got the Underwood bill
on the statute books even the Speak
er of the House, along about the frst
Of December, made speech here in
which he said, when we get the cur
rency act passed, everything Will
blossom as the rose" We have been
looking for those blossoms ever since,
But it is the blossoming of thistles in
stead of roses.
Then you put your currency bill On
the statute book late in December.
Still there was something the matter
Business wanted little more medi.
cine. So the man who controls Con-
gress and leads you, bound, hither
and thither, while none OF you dare
say his soul is his own or has an idea
that he dares express, says, we
must have these trust measures pass
ed, and you must stay here all SUM
mer and all winter and all the rest
of the time and put them on the
statute books; and when we get those
on the statute books, then the psych7
illogical panics will disappear, and
the Claflin failures will disappear, and
business will blossom as a rose.
Mr.. Mondell of Wyoming took ad
vantage of the fact Of increased rev.
enue from customs by pointing out
the depressing effects of such In
crease upon domestic labor and do
nestle prosperity. He said
"Mr. Speaker, the President re-
solves all our troubles by declaring
them to be psychological. The gen

Instead of Wars and Rumors of
War" 1t has been Strikes and Rum
ors of Strikes" in railroad circles for
some time, chiefly among the engi-
neers and firemen. But whether 1t

represents a mileage of 100000 and
1cerns $4,000 fremen and engineers
who are now paid $3.50 900 annual
~, or an average of 1921 per head
annually.
Both sides to the controversy have
been represented by committees and
for the past three months negotia
lions have been going on. On June
1st at Chicago the Conference COM
mittee representing the railroads is
sued statement which we are print
ing in full In another column of this
issue. 1t Is interesting reading and
is well worth the time for careful
reading.
According to this statement there
have been a number OF requests on
the one side, and decisions on the
other side. The final request OF en-
gineers and firemen, as stated, and
II granted would amount to raise
of nearly so per cent or $33,OOOOOO
a year, or over 5000 per head annual
", making an average total salary
of over $500 per head annually for
all concerned.
We have not seen any statement
from the employers side. We should
like to be favored with one when
issued in order to be more fully ad'
yised. 1t goes without saying that
the committee refused to grant the
request OF the employees. The margin
OF difference is SO great the two sides
so far apart at the beginning that
they could not be expected to arrive
at any other conclusion. And farther
II is conclusively stated by the com
mittee representing the railroads,

BONNETS FOR LITTLE GIRLS.

After your little daughter has been
supplied with her ''knockabout' hat it is
time to plan her bonnet for best wear.
The loveliest hats are developed of trans
parent materials, such as net. point
d'esprit or shadow lace. arranged over a
wire foundation. The latter can be pur-
chased at any shop where millinery is
sold, and the wires should be wrapped
with strips of silk before covering with
the tulle.
An extremely dainty model is a quaint
Dutch bonnet Suggesting the lace caps
worn by the Vollendam maids. The wire
foundation Is covered with pink washable
silk. and over this arranged the covering
of dotted tuile. The crown is shirred at
intervals. and the brim Is edged with a
tiny frill. Two clusters of small flowers
in tones OF pale blue. pink and mauve
trim the brim. About the crown Is drawn
a ruching of lace.
A very lovely little hat can easily be
duplicated. The brim is slightly mush-
room. and the foundation is covered with
pale pink silk. The dotted tuIle is then
shirred on cords and fitted over the
frame. and frill of narrow lace softens
the line at the edge Of a band. The trim
ming consists OF a band of nattier-blue
ribbon drawn about the crown and tied
in a fiat bow at the side. A single rose is
placed on the brim at the left side.
Other charming bonnets are of leshorn.

SEASeNABLE TALK ON SEA FOODS

Fish forms a welcome addition to the
seefly menu and provided that your
dealer can be relied upon to supply fresh
stock both fish and crabs may be used in
hot weather in many tempting ways.

their rather short season. First Of all

then fry in enough hot fat to cover them

Most people Ike fish for breakfast once

reason. Sach fish as porgies, founders
and perch are in season now, and none of
them are much trouble to fry.
Fresh salmon steak is also procurable
now. When broiled this must be kept
well buttered. Select rather thick steaks,

DAINTY UNDERGARMENTs.

Even IL. the smart woman Of fashion
was not always especially fastidious
about the elegance of undergarments,
| the transparency of the costumes of the
moment. and especially of the cor
sages. would make this attention nec-
essary. So the "marchands de frivoli-
ties" as they were called in the eight
eenth century. are paying particular at
tention to the production of the fine lin
gsrie which the filmy dress allows to be
seen.
The combinations Of plated and gath
cred tulle are incrusted with lace and
marvels Of daintiness- English point
lace, malines and Binche lace. which is
now so splendidly durable, are espe-
cially used for these garments.
! The upper part Is almost entirely
made of a clever mixture Of lace iaser-
tions and tulle plaits. The lower part
is furnished by two little founces-one
OF tulle with a picot edge and the other
Of lace. Needless to say, these very
luxurious garments do not admit of rib
bons.
Corset covers, which are much more
simple and quite practical, are also
made to give some support to the figure.

mercy of the ceinture- Carried out in
broderie anglaise or Cluny or Venetian
lace. they fit the figure exactly and look
very pretty through the transparency Of
the linen or voile de sole chemisette-
The nightgowns have a quantity of
hand work and might more properly be
called nightrobes- They have a great
deal of openwork in the upper part and
are often lightly gathered in just above
the waist, like the empire tunics. They
are both in crepe de chine and in the
toile de sole. which is 50 delightful to
wear. g.--E .7--
A pretty novelty Of what may be called
discreet luxury is seen In the use of
little futed frills in tulle, with a picot
edge as a trimming for chemises- The
top of the empire chemise is made first
of all of a gathered band of tuIle held
in place by two rows Of double open
work stitching and then with the frill
already mentioned. The effect is very
fluffy and original
Charming little petticoats are also
seen in silk jersey IN soft colors.s and
their warmth and usefulness makes
them very popular.
The extreme deshabille of the present
corsage almost exacts the good taste
shown in the wearing of these "gor-
gerettes'' of all over valenciennes lace.
These tend to diminish the extreme
transparency which has been so justly
criticised without giving any unneces-
sary thickness.
