WOMEN ARE NOT MORE ExTRAv-
 AGANT.

TT Is 9 generally acknowledged fact
 that the average woman of today looks much smarter and better dressed than her predecessor. And the question naturally arises. Is she more extrava- gant?
 ; The answer Is most emphaffcaIly ssnyos' The truth of the matter is that nearly every woman nowadays has learned the art of making things for herself. It's so easy with the help of good pattern, and there are so many excellent patterns nowadays.

The department Of agriculture
is trying to eliminate the danger
to cattle from poisonous plants on
national forest ranges. OF these
plants, larkspur, loco weed, death
camas, and water hemlock are the
most poisonous. Larkspur does
the most harm. because it is so
widely distributed and is particu-
larly bad for cattle. Ordinarily,
horses will not eat larkspur, and
sheep can eat it without apparent
injury.

ANTITRUST DoC1oRlNC
The Cattle Tick.-Alaska Coal
Mexican Policy.
The Tribune Bureau.
BY ]. e. JONES

BY j. 4. JONES
Washington, D. C.-Before the
antitrust bills are to become
"really and truly" administration
measures, they are to be materially
doctored under the direct super
vision OF that able physician of
legislation-Doctor Woodrow Will
son, president Of the United States.
The judiciary committee of the
house has been having its hearings,
aud this has resulted in the presi-
dent taking Chairman Clayton and
his colleagues Of the committee
into White House conference for
the purpose Of pointing out to
them that there are big and
dangerous holes in the legislation
they have contemplated. There
fore changes will follow in accord
ance with the presidents plan be-
fore the bills are passed in the
house.
During a debate in the house it
was claimed by southern states
men who spoke for large appro.
priation to be used in fighting the
cattle tick, that the freeing of the
south from this affection would
solve the problem of the beef
supply. Representative Young Of
Texas says that the government
has made the discovery that there
is a remedy by which the southern
cattle tick that infects all southern
states can be absolutely destroyed.
That remedy is now being used
throughout the infected districts.
In Texas, according to Mr.. Young,
there are more than 1000, 600
head of cattle 'below the quaran-
tine line" The government has
declared that none of these cattle
can be shipped until they have
been freed from the tick pest; and
not only are these 1000, 900 Texas
cattle held out of the market, but
there are likewise held from the
commerce of the world from 700,
900 to I,2oo, 900 head in each of
the other southern states of the
union. With the splendid grazing
grounds and the cheap lands Of
the south, the determination of the
tick will it is declared, result in a
sufficient meat supply to take care
of the demand. This is empha-
sized by the fact that it appears to
have been proven that no section
can raise cattle as cheaply as the
south.
Alaska and its problems is a
progressive study, and the views
Of the interior department in
reference to coal leases have been
embodied in bills that are now be-
fore congress. The Geological
survey estimates that there are
l6, 900 square miles of coal-bear-
ing lands in the territory. The
plan is to lease these lands in areas
of forty acres or multiples thereof,
but in no event can any Of the big
operators acquire more than 2,58o
acres.
What does Washington think
about Mexico, the independence"
of Texas, and the operations of the
"rangers7' Washington rarely
thinks-preferring rather to follow
the sentiment of the rest of the
country. And since there is a
studied patience throughout the
land in reference to the watching
and waiting" policy, Washington
has not allowed itself to become
the least whit excited because of a
few fiery speeches in congress.
