Straps.

Straps are used to restrain the full.
ness in many Of the new winter coats
and skirts. Sometimes there are two
straps acros the back Of a coat where
the full skirt flares from the waist
section. Sometimes there are straps
across the front OF the skirt to hold
in the fullness below the waist. and
sometimes they are used for the same
purpose on the hips. They are
stitched usually. and give a very

Does Not Spell Prosperity.

Never in the history of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, says the Wheeling
Intelligence. on this section of the
system have conditions been so depress-
ing as at present. The freight ship
ments are only small PERCENTAGE of
the usual amount. and as a result the
forces of railroad men have been re-
duced almost to nothing. Out of 500
men that are ordinarily employed in the
local shops, only 18 are now at work.
The dispatchers from Grafton have
been moved to distant points of the
system, wherever possible, and thus
the furloughing of the telegraph
operators at these points made possible.
Nearly thousand men have been laid
off on the three divisions of the B. &
o. system, which make Grafton a ter
mlnal, during the past three months.

TO VOTE ON PROHIBITION LAW.
Woman Suffrage Amendment Also to
Be Brought Up Before Body.

Washington. Dec. 13.-The issues of
national prohibition and woman suff-
rage will be placed squarely before the
EOuse of Representatives as a result
Of action taken YESTERDAY by the House
Rules Committee. when it decided to
report special rules for the amendments
on both subjects. Incidentally, the
committee put an end to all hope of an
extended holiday recess.
Representative Henry, chairman of
the Rules Committee, asserted the rule
on the HobsOn prohibition resolution
would be presented December 90, and
that the resolution, after eight hours of
debate, would be pressed to a vote on
that date. The suffrage resolution, he
said. would follow Immediately.
Prohibition and suffrage supporters
immediatly began to line up their forces
tor the coming encounter. Members
who had determined to go home for
Christmas, whether Congress adjourn.
ed or not, revised their program.
1t was generally believed in the
House that the special rules would be
adopted, as a majority vote only is re-
quired. 1t was also predicted, however,
that the suffrage amendment would be
unable to secure the necessary two
thirds vote in the House and opponents
of prohibition expressed confidence
that it, too, would be defeated.
AS framed by Representative Hob
son, the prohibition bill would prohibit
the sale, manufacture or Importation
and expectation of Intoxicating
liquors for beverage purpoes in the
United States and all territory subject
to the jurisdiction thereof forever.
The suffrage amendment would de-
clare that the right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be de-
MED or abridged on account of sex.

must be preserved.

The forests of the county produce
annually lumber and timber products
valued at 81, 10000. In addition to this
large annual revenue the forest indus
tries give employment to large numbers
of wage earners. This industry is al
ready suffering serious loss from fire
destruction and wasteful methods o.
cutting. Better fire protection and the
adoption of improved methods of hand
ling woodlands would in time place the
forest industries on a permanent basis
and greatly increase the revenues of
the county.
Garrett county by reason of it's altl-
tude, scenic attractions, healthful eli
mate, and diversified conditions, at
tracts every year large number of
tourists and summer boarders. The
scenic beauty of the county can only be
preserved by maintaining a good forest
cover on the mountain sides and along
the streams, Denuded, burned noun
tain slopes are very unattractive to the
summer visitor.
