same WAGE SCALE
Coal Miners Pay and Hours
of Work Unchanged BY
New Schedule.
NEW ARBITRATION SYSTEM
Convention at Kansas City of Four
States Reaches Agreement
Ratified by Districts.

No changes in the wage scale or
working hours of the coal miners OF
Arkansas, Missouri. Kansas and Okla
homa have been made in the new
biennial schedule agreed upon at the
iast interstate conference of the oper-
ators and employees held at Kansas
City last May.
The old system of arbitration by
which a permanent arbitrator, John
Steele OF Pitsburg, Kan, did all the
final deciding, is changed, however.
In it's place is an arrangement by
which each of the three mining dis
tricts establishes joint board of ar
bitration composed of three miners
aud three operators. This Is consld-
cred more democratic method of set
tling disputes.
The new schedule came up at the
interstate convention of mine work
ers in the Labor Temple at Kansas
City recently and was ratified. About

unions in the four states were pres

DATHER as a suggestion than as
IN copies to be exactly followed, these
two dresses designed for little girls
are shown here. American adapta-
tions Of French clothes for children
usually show greater length of skirt
and somewhat more fullness than the
original designs. The little dress de-
signed for the tiny girl is so plain in
the body as to be boyish, but the
fancy decoration in shocked silk on
sleeves and collar, and the putting of
the sleeves, places 1t as girls dress.
The material used is a checked vel
veteen. The little garment is cut with
long shoulder and made over mus
lin body. The back is plain, but the
front is cut wide enough to besgath-
cred into scant fullness along the
shoulder seams and about the neck
The shoulders extend over the sleeves,
which are set into the body. There
is a narrow collar extending from
shoulder to shoulder This is made
on a plain silk foundation covered
with shocking of the same silk and
finished with narrow soutache braid
about the edge and along the center.
A decoration of the same sort is
placed across the puffed sleeve and
finishes 1t at the bottom. Two short
straps Of the material of the dress

simulate the belt near the bottom of
the skirt, to which they are fastened
with silk buttons.
For practical use the sleeve should
be made longer, and little additional
length of skirt will improve the de-
sign.
A plain dress in smooth-face cloth
is shown, with a little cape to be
worn with 1t. The cape is In reality
one Of those odd new garments which
are part cape and part coat and are
best described as cape into which
sleeves are introduced. There are
numbers of these new developments
in outer garments, which suggest a
cape and are the results of it's inspira-
ton. 1t is only possible to make
them by securing a pattern.
This garment, like all others of the
same character, is lined with a plain
soft silk. Its only decoration appears
about the cuffs and in the three fancy
buttons with simulated buttonholesn at
the neck.
A touch of vivid color enlivens this
plain dress. 1t is introduced in
scarf of Roman stripe ribbon at the
neck. The usual collar of dainty Or
candle, which is so often the part of
misses dresses, finishes this one.

q INCE the introduction of dancing
y caps, which made their debut along
with the strenuous tango, ribbons and
laces, nets and gauzes, have been fash
toned In unending variety into caps
for the dancing girl. And now that
we have gold and silver tissues. silver
spangled nets, and gauzes striped with
tinsel, designers have been quick to
seize upon these new fabrics and to
make alluring head decorations OF
them.
These little caps are also to be worn
to the theater and called opera caps"
as we'll as dancing caps" They are
worn with fancy neckpieces of ostrich
finished with ribbons. A cap and neck
piece like those illustrated here are
wonderfully effective and brilliant.
For decorating evening caps OF this
kind tassels of silver or gold filigree.
or little balls, are used. To add a
little touch of color small flowers OF
silk or satin ribbon are most often
employed. But the matter OF decora-

TO TEST OPTION ELECTION
Kansas City Liquor Interest Question
Legality Of Recent Dry Victory
In jackson County.

A suit to contest the local option
election held on August 20, by which
all of Jackson county, aside from
Kansas City and independence, was
voted dry, has been filed in the cir
cult court. The suit was brought in
the name of Michael Bine, George N.
Rodman and Bert Scott, proprietors
of saloons at Sugar Creek, and names
members of the county court and Leo
NJ. Gilday, county clerk, as defend
ants.
Among other things, the petition at
tacks the petition under which the
election was called, declaring 391 OF
the 500 odd petitioners unqualified;
contesting the right of the county
court to call an election, and the le-
gality of having voting places at In
dependence, at which place there were
no qualified voters living. The last
point for contention involves 1,22S
votes cast in independence by electors
living outside of the city.
1t was upon the allegation that the
petition calling for the election did
not contain 10 per cent of the qualified
voters at the last general election in
1912, that suit to enjoin the county
court from holding an election was
brought in the circuit court several
weeks ago. The injunction was de-
MED, the court holding it had no right
to interfere with the actions of the
county court in the matter.

tion gives much scope to the indi-
yidual fancy.
Since the materials of which the
caps are made are so brilliant one
should be careful to use very little In
the way of trimmings on them.
The popularity of caps of this kind
is assured. They are more brilliant
than any coiffure. They do not have
to be removed at the theater, and at
the dance they keep the hair in place.
But above all they are amazingly be-
coming, as full of dash and brilliance
as a diamond.
Ostrich neckpieces are not very long
and are made up in white and AL the
light colors, and in the natural coIors.
The latter are more generally useful
than others because they are suitable
for afternoon wear as we'll as for
evening. JULIA BoTToMlEY.

HOLDING PUBLIC HEARINGS
State Senate Commission Discusses
Workman's Compensation Bill With
Kansas City Labor Leaders.

Jefferson City.-The Missouri sen.
ate commission which has been hold
ing public hearings at Kansas City to
ascertain public sentiment with re-
gard to the proposed workman's COM
pensation act adjourned without hav-
ing finished its work. The completed
bill will lot be ready for publication
before a week or ten days, or until
the state administration has had time
to give it thorough overhauling, the
members said.
Representatives of labor were the
sole participants in the hearing. The
senators said some good suggestions
were made which might afterward be
incorporated in the bill.
1T is useless to publish details of
the draft of the bill which we have
agreed upon, because we may change
our minds later" Senator Phillips,
chairman of the commission, said
We don't pretend to know it all and
every suggestion that comes is very
welcome. We have obtained some
valuable suggestions and no doubt we
VIII hear some more later. We will
not give out anything until we are
ready to report.

A Lucky Meeting.

Jefferson City.-Col. C.. w. Thomas,
mayor of Jefferson City and prospec-
tive candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor, who got
back from trip to Europe recently,
would very likely be in London yet
but for fortunate meeting with one
OF the vice presidents of the Wells
Fargo Express company.
Like great many of the other
Americans arriving in London from
the continent, Colonel Thomas had a
pocket full of letters of credit and ex-
press money orders and but very little
cash. While unsuccessfully negotiat-
ing in bank for the cashing of one
of his drafts, man standing near
accosted him with the inquiry: "You
are the mayor Of Jefferson City, Mo-,
are you not?'
Surprised beyond measure, Colonel
Thomas said he was.
Don't you recall meeting me last
winter in the office of the public SER
vice commission at Jefferson City?"
asked the man. My name is Hol-
brook. l live in New York, and l am
one of the vice presidents of the
Wells Fargo Express company"
Colonel Thomas remembered the
meeting very well and spent a pleas
ant hour with the express company
official, who arranged through the
London agency of his company for
providing the Jefferson City mayor
with sufficient amount of money to
land him at home.
Il was told at one bank" said Col.
onel Thomas, that l could have $40
on my letter of credit. remarked
to the bank official that l would just
as soon be dead broke as to have only
$40 5000 miles away from home. Soon

To Review Liquor Cases.

Acting Chief Justice Woodson of the
state supreme court has issued writs
of certiorari directed against the
Springfield court of appeals, ordering
two cases from Phelps county, involv-
ing violations of the local option law,
certified for final review. Albert
Zhender and Adelbert Kolb were
prosecuted in the Phelps county cir
cult court on charges of having sold
whisky and beer despite the local op-
tion prohibition. Each was convicted
and fined $500. They appealed to the
Springfield court of appeals, where the
judgment was sustained. The con-
tention of the defendants is that the
information against them does not
state specifically that the local option
law was in effect at the time of their
alleged violation of the law.

Rains Start PloWs.

Splendid rains during the last ten
days have put new spirits in the farm
ers of central Missouri and the plows
have started everywhere breaking
ground for the fall wheat seeding.
Plenty of rain has put the ground in
fine condition. There will be an un-
usually large acreage planted in wheat
this year If the conditions remain fav-
orable, on account of the general be-
lief that if the European war con-
tinues it will be up to the farmers of
this country to feed the people of the
warning nations. Although the rains
came too late to save the early corn,
benefits that can hardly be calculated
will follow. Fall pastures will be
good, obviating the feeding of stock
until real winter sets in, milk and but
ter will be more abundant and the
late corn will be increased many per
cent in value. Fall forage crops of
all kinds will be very much improved
