urements have full faith in her ability
to reduce her waist six inches In aa
few months.
The Outgoing Tunic.
The mnaret is no longer with us for
the summer, 1t has glided out as
quickly as it came No more do tho
stiffened edges Of soft fabrics swing
around our hips, although there is no
lack of drapery there, but it is part Of
the skirt, and does not come from an
attached piece, unless one could call
the new long overskirt by that name.
One unconsciously thinks OF 1t as
the skirt Itself, for it soon will be. Its
lengthening, and the dropping Of the
narrow petticoat are very sure, the
dress prophets think. And there are
others high in fame and prestige, who
feel that the straight plated skirt is
bound to come in with the earliest
styles OF autumn, to be foreshadowed
In Paris in June.
The only dark shadow on the sky OF
the near future is the insistence by
some Of the dressmakers on what one
writer has called the Bunty styles.
They are ugly, and even romance can.
not redeem them.
Not even the marvellous Anna Paw.
Iowa can make them likable. She has
introduced them into her dance to
Weber's Invitation to the Valse," and
one is glad to hear the last strains Of
it, as the costumes spoil her grace and
beauty; her appearance gives one a
panicky feeling as to what will happen
to those who are not formed in the
long lines of loveliness.

fashions with which they have been
struggling for the last three years.
Nothing has been invented for so
long a time for the woman with an
old-fashioned figure that it is probable
she has either given up all hope or
has changed her type through exer.
else, diet or dancing.
How anyone can remain stout who
INDUCES In dancing is a mystery. This
pastime. or madness rather has done
more to keep and to make women
thin than any other form Of effort ad-
vocated for that purpose.
Let me suggest Il practical hint to
those women who like The long-waist-
ed effect and yet who do not wish to
add the bulk Of wide sash to their
hips. Use ribbons or silk cords, as
Cheruit does on her new summer
gowns, bringing them down over the
hips in two or three rows. The idea
is really good. The cords hold the
gathers down. and so appeasc fashion,
and at the same time they increase the
length of line. This trick is also prim.
tive. And if woman went uncor-
seted the effect would be ugly to our
sophisticated eyes, but when she is
well corsetcd the urTangemcut is at.
tractive.
Corset Is Returning.
And, by the way, COrsets are coming
into more favor than they have gar
nered for year Women are tired Of
going around without support, and
they are realizing what the doctors
told them-that civilization had de-
prived women OF a natural support
for their waist line and abdomen, as
well as the soles Of their feet, and
that it was not possible at this late
date to give the figure freedom with.
out serious injury to it
All these facts taken together are
responsible for the longthcuing Of the
waist line and by summer we shall
have forgotten that we ever advocated
the waist under the bust Strange to
say. there is no reasonable argument
IN favor of the return Of the small
waist, and there is no attempt to get
this fashion again before the public,
but it is probable, don't you think,
that with the full acceptance OF the
long waist We shall surely come into
the small one?
This Is not pleasant thought, and,
as tn" surgeons declare, It looks as
though 1t would require surgical
operation to bring it about but those

 AMAZING AND SHOCKlNG

Washington, May 11.-"Amazlng and shocking conditions that will require drastic remedies" were found in the Colorado coal field by the congressional investigating com mittee, according to Representative Foster of Illinois, chairman, who, with his col leagues spent several weeks in Colorado,
 Members of the committee think the pub Icity given their work will do great good. They will have some recommendations tor congress, but they are inclined to believe that the state will have to deal with many of the evils disclosed by the inquiry.
 T think all of us were impressed with the dcplorable state of affairs we found, v said Representative Foster.
 "The conditions in Colorado are most de plorable," said Representative Byrnes, an other member of the committee. "lhe strikers of today are the strlke-breakers of ten years ago"

Lindsel Condenns Colorado Militia

Chicago, May 19-Interviewed regarding the strike situation in Southern Colorado, Judge Ben Lindsey, who arrived here today from Denver, was loud in his protestatlons against the actions of the state militia, which he said was almost entirely responSl- bIe fer the deplorabIe conditions which exist in the strike zone He expressed the belief that it would he inadvisable for the gov ornment to withdraw the federal troops at present, since they afford the only protec- ton which the people have against the state troops
 Speaking of the Ludlow affair, Judge Lindsey described it as a black spot on the history of the nation. He said that the miitiamcn and mine guards had conducted themselves in manner almost beyond be lief. Mothers who ventured from theI homes to rescue their children were shot down by the soldiers and their bodies mutt lated. Children only few years old were murdered as they played in the streets, the atrociousness of some of the crimes rivaling the war scenes of the Balkans.

IMORNINCSIDE SANITARIUM
 AGAIE4 GETS CONTRACT

In spite of the frequent protests that have been made regarding the care of Alaska insane at the Morningside sanitarium, at Mount Tabor. near Portland Ore, another contract has just been entered into with that institution by the interior department. The contract is for period of five years, and represents a sum in the neighDorhOod of S4OO.OOO. Dr. Goes bid, offered in the name of the sanitarium company, was at the rate of S27.50 per patient per month, which is the same rate at which Dr, Coe cared for the Alaska insane for the past ten years At present there are 1S4 Alaska insane patients at this institution.
 The board of awards, in recommending to Secretary Lane that the contract be let to the Morningsde sanitarium said:
 "The care of the insane by the sanitarium company has been investigated from time to time by officers of this department and the war department. It has been found that when Dr. Henry Waldo Coe was in absolute charge of the institution it was run on proper basis, and that insane were taken care of kindly, and that no harsh methods were invoked'

NEWSPAPER MANS STORY
 OF RAILROAD IDEAS ORIGIN
J w, Ward in Seattle Sum

(J. W. W dlu III JSdttiC pHiii
 Since the bill providing for the construc- ton of a government-owne railroad Tn Alaska has become a law, many claimants to the honor of the conception and for warding of the scheme have arisen.
 Without seeking to detract from the eff forts put forward by different congressman, foremost among whom are Senator Cham berlain of Oregon, who introduced and fathered the bill in the senate, and the congressional representation from Washing ton, which at the crisis stood sohdly behind the bill credit for the inception of the bill and ceascess work in its behalf when 1t was vet hay dream in the minds of its staunchcst champions today, must be given unreseryedly to James Wickcrsham, dele gate to congress from Alaska.
 The first movement to start the aglta- ton for a railroad to the interior of Alaska was set in motion by Delegate Wickersham during his campaign for election in 1908.
 The first delegate to congress from Alaska was Frank Waskey of Nome, who was followed by Thomas Gale of Fairbanks. These gentlemen were elected at the same time, Waskey for a short term of seven months and Gale for the succeeding two

 The action of the governor followed state wide and even nationwide protests against the bill, the medical associations being espe. cially bitter against its being allowed to stand. It was claimed that the bill would in many cases legalize manslaughter, anc it would be impossible to differentiate be tween an actual murder and the failure of a Scientist" to make a cure

RESIDENTS OF DISCOVERY
 MUST FIND NEW LOCATION

Considerable excitement was caused at Discovery on Thursday morning by the posting of notices to the residents that all buildings must be removed from dis covcry claim within eleven days. The no tices were signed by Riley & Marston
 It Is said that notification had been given the residents of Discovery last fall that such a move was contemplated, but no attention seems to have been paid to it, and the notification of Thursday found the people totally unprepTed for it. It is said to be the intention of the mining firm to dredge the ground now occupied by the town
 No concerted action has yet been taken by the Discovery people looking to the loca- ton of a new townsite, and it Is not known whether such a step Is contemplated.

FRENCH DOCTOR DISCOVERS
 THAT APPENDIX IS USEFUL

Paris, March 14-Dr. Edmund Perrier, at the Academy of Sciences, made public recently the discovery that the appendix excited the activity of the intestines, and he says that it should not be removed ex- cept in cases of absolute necessity.
 After experimenting on animals with their appendices removed as in human be ings, Dr. Perrier discovered that the secre- tions of the gland had strong effect on the intestinal muscles and makes a strong plea that the academy should suggest to French surgeons that they cease from per forming appendix operations for any but urgent reasons.

THE MULE

You couldn't call the mHIe "a heaut,' However much you boast of hlm, Fer pulchrlmde is not his suit, To say the very most of hIm; His disposition, too, is not
 Especially commondablr, And, though he'll often stand a lot His trupers undepondablc. Hes hard of mouth and obstinate; Acquaintance soon reveals of him That it is sometimes tempting fate To get too near the heels of him; And when he lays those long ears back No beating or reproving him Will ever stir him from his track Until the spirits moving him. And yet-and yet the mule will thrive And labor With agility Where horses cannot keep alive But de with great facility; His treatment frequently is rough, But he is quite resigned to 1t. And he can toll with vim enough When he makes up his mind to it. Not always is a heavy stick
 The most effective charm to him, For, though his muleship's hide is thick, Good usage does no harm to him. So look on him with kindly eye And you will not repent of it; His market price is very high, And hes worth every cent of it.
