will bob up there. Put it out of
business there and it will show its
head somewhere else.
Our friend, the shipping trust, is
the special privilege which I have
especially in mind.
Only few months ago we re-
moved one of the tentacles of this
octopus when we repealed the act
exempting the monopoly's ships
from the payment of tolls on the
Panama canal. That was calcu-
lated to reduce its dividends by
several millions year and to put
an equal sum in the public treasury.
The trust was panied but not
discouraged by this lack of consid-
GRAFTON on the part of congress.
When war was declared between
the leading nations Of Europe the
representatives of the shipping mo-
nopoly hocked to Washington.
Now is the time to build up our
merchant MARINE" they shouted.
Lets pass a ship-subsidy act''
1t is noticeable that this trusts
plans always include raid on the
public treasury. The raid which
is covered by the name ship sub
sidy" has been pressed on the at
tention of congress in one form
and another for twenty years.
Stripped of the verbiage in which
its sponsors wrap it, the scheme
calls for the yearly grant of large
sums of public money to various
steamship lines which have been
or will be established by the trust.
Once the system is established it
would require revolution to abol-
ish it and the drain on the treas
ury would be enormous.
HANNAS OLD SCHEME
Boss Mark Hanna at one time
undertook to force a ship bsidy
bill through congress. That was
in the good old days" when Joe
Cannon owned the house and Aid
rich ran the senate, but the ship
subsidy steal was too raw for even
that combination. The independ-
ent Republicans united with the
Democrats and knocked it out.
President Wilson and the Dem
ocratic leaders in house and senate
have given the present-day sub
sidy- y-howlers a very cool reception.
1t would be easier for trust mag
nate to get through the eye of a
needle than for subsidy scheme
to get by Woodrow Wilson.
The war in Europe does afford
an opportunity to build up our
merchant marine and the president
and his advisers see the opportu-
nifty and are planning to take adj
vantage of it, They do not intend,
however, that the shipping monop-
oily shall be the sole beneficiary.
Instead of subsidizing monop-
oily, Uncle Sam will buy and oper-
ate his own ships for the benefit of
all the people of this country.
Government ownership AMI opera
ton will not only y open new terri
tory to our merchants, but it will
20 a long way toward putting the
shipping trust out Of business.
SEND AMERICANS To SEA.
President Wilson has indorsed
the idea, but the trust will not per-
NIT congress to approve it without
a bitter fight. 1t held up the Pan
ANA repeal bill for months, but
that struggle was tame affair
compared with the row which will
be caused by the presidents latest
suggestion.
L. uill moi do much good how.

Today even the few ships which
fly the stars and stripes are manned
by Japs, Chinese and Lascars.
Where is the American sailor
man? Why has he quilted the
sea?
The answer is to be found in
our absurd navigation laws, which
were written by the shipping inter
ests and which gave not thought
to the welfare of the man before
the mast.
The Mongolian will work for $40
a month and live in stye which
would not satisfy pig, The Amer
ican demands $40 or $50 month
and decent quarters. The ship
owner naturally prefers the Mon
golian.
| If the Mongolian sailor should
become dissatisfied and attempt to
run away after he reaches an Amer
lean port, our laws provide that he
may be arrested and forced to re-
turn to his ship,
RETURNING THE SLAVES.
We fought bloody war in this
country once because northern
men objected to the return of fugi-
tive slaves to their southern mas
ters. In every port in this country
today we are dragging sailors back
to foreign ships and compelling
them to "serve their time," and
nothing is said about it because
most people do not know of the
existence of the law.
Fighting Bob" LaFollette got
bill through the senate more than
a year ago repeating this un-Amer-
lean statute and in many other
ways safeguarding the rights of
sailors who reach our ports, but we
have not been able to get it before
the house. The shipping trust is
fighting it tooth and nail.
AS matter of fact it would do
more toward putting the American
flag and the American sailor back
on the sea than any other piece of
legislation proposed.
WILSON TRIUMPHS AGAIN.
| think it WAS Colonel Roosevelt
who said that under the present
administration this country had
"become an object of fun among
the nations of the world" In view
of recent developments the colonel
must now realize how silly that
statement was.
Every day witnesses a fresh tri-
umph of Wilson diplomacy. 1t is
true that there is no beating of
tom-toms or blowing of horns in
the vicinity of the state depart
ment. but the views and interests
of the United States are being re-
spectcd in every chancellory of Eu-
rope.
When Japan announced that it
would drive Germany out Of China
much apprehension WAS felt in this
country.
How far will the little yellow
men go?" was on every lip.
President wilson WAS the calm
est man in Washington, but he
was not asleep. China appealed
TO him for assistance, fearing the
consequences of Jap aggression.
OF course no one on the outside
knows what the president did. All
we know is that he kept his head,
reassured congress and the coun-
try and worked the cables. We
know the result, too. We know

many families will be thankful to the enterprising society people in New York who are responsible for the sue cess of this fete.
 The foremost dressmakers in New York City displayed the gowns which were designed especially for the oc- casion, each hoping, by some original idea to catch the eyes of the fashion able audience and secure their custom to themselves.
 Ideas from many periods were com bined with up-to-date styles to give variety in the costumes. For instance, the dropped shoulder effect was shown many times with skirts so full and ripply that they gave the appearance of being over hoops. A dress of dis tinctly modern silk and with the new est basque effect in front had a new dropped waistline in the back and a real hustle! You couldn't mistake it!
 Rich silks, brocaded, plain and rib bed, chiffon, silk net, beaded net, cloth of gold and silver were the material used for the evening gowns, which were a prominent feature of the ex- hibition.
 Broadcloth, velour, duvetyne and a velvet developed the street suits and dresses.
 The skirts were full short, even the skirts to the evening dresses. Incon- sitsent as fashion often is in these dresses they were sometimes short and yet with train in the back. One evening dress was made of a peculiar green, almost a peacock shade, cover ed with a scrolly design which gave ! watered finish to the material. The waist was made with a shallow V in the front and high in the back. The skirt was short and slashed in the front. In the back the skirt was very slightly longer than in front, but the whole appearance was shorter than we have been accustomed to. From the shoulders hung a long and narrow train of beaded net, which did not touch the dress any place but at tn, shoulders.
 The long waisted moyen age effect were seen as well as the short waist ed Empire effects. A dress of purple silk net was made with this charming short waist, a skirt hung rather full, draped up slightly in the pack and ending in a modest train. At the back of the low round neck was faf

ming dress. If the dress is white it may be in almost any delicate color, if the dress has color in it, however the scarf should correspond in some way with the coloring of the dress. Another evening dress was of cloth of gold. The waist was made very full over a foundation of white satin A soft rufle of gold lace outlined the round neck. A bow of dull blue rib bon, tied with long loops which were wired, was worn in place of the cor sage bouquet. The skirt was made with double flounces each scalloped with deep rounded scallops. Gold lace edged these scallops. The skirt was ankle length
 Full skirts were prominent. Skirts made with gores which rippled out ir huge godets in the back. The droop- ed shoulder effect which was promi- nent in the days of hooped skirts is also seen.
 A taupe colored velvet dress had a waist opening in the back, perfectly plain in the front but with plenty of fitness so that it did not draw over the bust. This waist extended from a low waistline up into a high collar which wrinkled softly about the neck
 A jumper dress of dark green broadcloth and velvet I have used for my illustration. The over-dress is of broadcloth braided in a simple but effective design around the V neck and deep armhole. The under-dress and skirt is of velvet The waist made with a simple rolling collar. A flaring velvet hat with a single quill for trimming was worn with this
 The military styles which are fos- tered by the war was shown in a suit of tan broadcloth. Down the front of the coat were frogs of black braid Bands of fur were used for the collar,
 
 cuffs and for band around the bottom of the coat. This costume I have used to illustrate.
 With this dress was shown a charm ing Dutch costume of white broad cloth. The jacket was made like full box jacket, the fitness in the back ripping in deep pleats. The collar, cuffs and band around the bottom of the jacket were curly white lamb. When the jacket was removed the dress underneath showed a short jacket of blue broadcloth braided with white braid. Around the edges was an inch band of the fur. This was worn over a rather full waist. The skirt had the fitness disposed of in pleats around the waist and when the hands were placed in the cunning side pock cts and held away from the body the Dutch peasant effect was most pro- nounced. One almost expected to see wooden shoes on the feet, but instead very modern white shoes peeped forth.

HOW ID LIVE
 ONE HUNDRED YEAR."
THIS IS THE NAME OF A NEW BOOK BY EUGENE CHRIS
 THAN, F. S. D.

Eugene Christian. F. s. D., the worlds greatest Food Scientist, has just published new book called How to Live 100 Years"
 This book tells you what to eat according to your age, your work and the time of the year. It teaches you how to select. how to combine and so as to establish perfect digestion and assimilation of food and perfect elimination of waste. In other words, it teaches you how to cure all stomach and intestinal disorders by removing their causes, which is wrong eating.
 If you have indigestion, gas, fermen- tation. sour stomach or any such dis orders after meal, this book tells you how to put the remedy on your table at the next meal.
 Dr. Christian shows that all animals how to proportion your food at meals except man live about eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth. If man should do this he would live nearly 200 years; but civi- liked man dies at the average age of 39. He begins to lose his teeth, his eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave only a few years after he is grown.
 Dr. Christian shows that 22 per cent of all the human beings born into the world die before they are one year old. Twenty-Five per cent more die before their fifth birthday, and more than half of the human race die before they are twenty-five.
 All other animals on the globe live eight times as long as it takes them to get their growth Man breathes the same air, drinks the same water, lives under the same sunshine, but differs from his brother animals only in his eating, therefore Dr. Christian shows conclusively that this appalling discrepancy must be on account of
 
 that his theory is true by curing over 23.000 people within the past ten years by teaching them what to eat and how to eat How to Live 100 Years" gives the secret of his methods.
 This book does not disarrange or upset the family table. It teaches the housewife what foods the meal should be composed of, so as to make them chemically harmonious and perfectly digestible and healthy.
 This book is beautifully bound in velum, and gold lettered. Send one dollar to Dr. Eugene Christian, 213 West 79th Street, New York City, and you will receive this life-saving book by return mail, and if it is not worth its weight in gold your money will be promptly refunded to you.
