The slit skirt shows them to advantage for the little "trilbies' play hide and seek as she walks along, appearing and disap- bearing in quick succession like two little mice. If the wearer has large feet the slit need not be so pronounced. That there is beauty and taste in wom- an both to styles and materials was evidenced by the dispay made by merchants during Fashion Week" Tha "creations' were bewilderingly beau- tiful and when one compares the daint- mess of womocl's clothes with those of men, it is to wonder how any man has the nerve to interfere, especially by at tempting to invoke the law.
 But look out, ye meddlers in mat ter feminine. Look out. ye specimens of prudish masculnity. The women are preparing to come back at you. They are demanding the vote and unless the signs of the times are all wrong they will get it sooner or later Then will women repay with interest all the in reference with her privilege to dress as attractively and becomingly as pos sible.
 At the mock session referred to above when the bill to regulate the length of mems trousers was discussed, the unanimous opinion was that the present styles of mems neither gar ments was the most ungraceful and horrid piece of wearing apparel in the worlds history. The suggestion was made that men go back to the artistic flowing robes of the patriarchs and wear flowing whislSers to match. What do you think of that? While the sug- gestion was made in fun some day a sure enough bill of like character will be presented and if the women get a chance they will pass a measure to make men discard the present inartistic styles and go back to the flowing robes. Can you fancy Kirk Moore or John Mcqueen wearing flowing robe? Wouldn't it be awful under any cir cumstance, but if the material hap pened to be aphanous-good night

 CLOSE CASE SOON
Final Statements to Be Heard Today and
 Tomorrow

Washington, March sSi.-Prompt conclu- ssion of the eastern railroads case in support of their application for gen erat increase of per cent in freight rates was assured today when the inter- state commerce commission agreed to put aside other business and devote today, tomorrow and Tmrsday to hearing final statements flor the roads. Two eonspicu- ous railway executives President Will lard of the Baltimore and Ohio and Presi- dent Delano of the Wabash. testified to- day before the commission in support of the proposed advance in rates.
 MT. Willard declared American railroads were facing a. crisis. which might prove serious to the. people of the country as well as to tue lsads themselves. He and Mir. Deana both asserted that the rail- ways were earning no returns on heavy investments made in their properties dur ing the last four years
 Of the Baltimore and Ohio. Mr Willard said: "In 1910. the entire facilities of the system were available and that year the property earned about S90.Q00.oo1. In 1913, the money which had been raised &76,- o0Q,oOW had been expended and the added facilities had become available. As a result the property earned S1o3, o0oOO0 In spite of this however net earnings in 1913, were $7ooo0o less than in 19lo before the immense expenditure for increased facilities had been made"

 ''I move to recommit the bill H. R. h. 5S5, to the committee on interstate and Tel eign commerce with directions to that committee to report said bill back to the House forthwith with the following amendment:
 OShaughnessy Offers Amendment
 Strike out all of section and insert in lieu thereof the following:
 Section ,. And Congress hereby de- clares that in it's judgment the United States, which at enormous cost has built and fortified and owns the canal without any expectation to pecuniary profit to
 itself from it's ownership and which has the duty and expense of protecting the canal with its troops and warships and by proper sanitation, may, as the owner ana defender Of the canal, and by virtue of it's rights of sovereignty, rightfully provide preferential tolls or no tolls for it's own war vessels and for vessels of commerce belonging to it or it's citizens flying it's flag so long as the conditions and charges of traffic established by it for vessels of foreign nations are just and equitable; and may rightfully in time of War as well in times of peace main- tain it's army and navy in the canal zone including all necessary warlil<e materials both for defense and offense and may rightfully provide preferential tolls or no tolls for the vessels of the republic of Panama. from which republic the right to construct the canal was obtained and as authorized in the act of June 2S, 1902. providing for the construction of the canal. "
 On this motion with it's reservations of the right of the United States to control the Panama canal zone, the anti-repeal fcrces boiled their largest votes. The motion was deefated, 232 to 176. The democratic leaders, Speaker Clark and Representative Underwood, carried 61 of their democratic colleagues with them on this vote All but i3 of the republic alIs voted for the motion and two pro- gresslves stood with the anti-repeal forces.
 This defeat marked the last rally of the anti-repeal forces. The last roll call Was taken with the House in disorder was taken with tyhe House in disorder and general confusion prevalent As an- nounced by the speaker the result was ayes PAS, nays 162. But a recapitulation of the vote showed ayes 247 nays 161.
 On this vote 220 democrats deserted their chosen leaders to answer the per sonal plea of President Wilson. With them were 9 republicans and two pro- gressives. With Speaker Clark and Leader Underwood 52 democrats voted against the bill 92 republicans and F pro- giessives, making up the 16l negative votes
