THE long, protecting rain or shine"
coat, made to meet the exigencies
of travel or life in the out-ofdoors, is
cut on simple lines.
One of the most practical of these
eoats is pictured here. 1t hangs
straight on the figure. The needed
fullness at the bust line is provided
Tor by two small plaits on each Shout
der. This is taken up from the swell
of the bust down in stitched-in plat
at each side of the front, the plaits
extending below the normal waist
line for at least six inches.
The coat is open at the throat. but
without revers. The neck is finished
with a small sailor collar and the
sleeves with turnback cuffs. Bone
buttons are used for fastening and az
decorative feature on the cuffs.
Coats of this kind are made with
skirts to match. The latter. severelv
plain and straight, are worn with
blouses of thin wash silk, pongee or
sheer wash fabrics. These coats and
skirts require firmly woven rainproof
goods In quiet staple colors. Either
can be worn without the other. and
the coat is designed to do duty wher-
ever separate coat is needed.

That the Italian government is

vessels carrying passengers TO Italian

telegram follows:
Secretary of. State: Italian consul
general here advises that he has just
received instructions from the am
bassador 10 the effect that the Italian
government has decided to compel
steamers carrying passengers from
America to Italian ports to deposit
here with the Bank of Naples 10000

There was no warning that this
hardship would be imposed, and there

CALL MARYLAND FEE
BAR TO OCOMMERCE

The Maryland law requiring the pay
ment Of license fees on automobiles.
owned. in the District Of Columbia,
which utilize Maryland roads was de-
scribed as direct Interference with
interstate commerce, and as a discrimi-
nation against citizens OF the District,
in arguments before the United States
Supreme Court today. The case is one
brought by John T. Hendrick. who is
represented by Osborne I. Yellott and
jackson H. Ralston. Attorney General
Poe Of Maryland is representing the
State.
Assailing the discriminatory features
of the law, counsel for Mr.. Hendrick
declared that automobiles from all other
States can come into Maryland without
payment of the Maryland license fee,
but that District automobilists must OBJ
tain licenses or keep off Maryland
roads. The fact that there are 10000
cars in the District, only 1900 of which
are registered in Maryland. was ad-
vanced as an evidence OF Interference
with interstate commerce. as these 5000
cars are deferred from crossing the
boundary line.
Replying, Attorney General Poe held
that the tax was within the police
powers Of the State of Maryland.
