American woman only thought So
she can get as good clothes in. Ameri-
ca as France ever dared to make
While the illustrations bear all inc
marks Of what we are accustomed
to regard as style" they lack that
rather distinctively Parisian bizarre
touch which some women seem 10
crave, but which the modest woman
refrains from patronizing. The
American costumes indicate a return
to sanity in dress without in the
least, from the masculine standpoint,
detracting from its attractiveness.
The complaint has been made that
American women will not patronile
home dressmakers because they lack
aAat individuality in style that the
French designers have. The Ameri-
can designers say, in rebuttal, that
they have not been patronized and
consequently have not been able 10
demonstrate just what they can do.
Now the society leaders say that they
are going TO make an effort to keep
our fashion seekers in America. This
statement should be half the battle
for the designers. Going to Paris Is
disease, and the home designers
should have the cure.

HOME REIIEF AND FOREIGN RELIEF.

Rs WILLIAM GRIsCOM COKE, secretary Of the
lX Home Relief Committee in this city, complains
10 THE EVENING JOURNAL that the committee has
met with so little response In the way of money
clothing and provisions that ii is not able to begin
It's work in the field until it has more assurance
of support She adds that, for the same reason the
committee is without for advertising, and that
the people should be informed of its plight in the hope
that contributions from pnhlcsprited and charitaby-
disposed persons relieve the embarrassment Of the
organization is altogether likely that the conson-
dation of the Red Cross, the Belgian Relief and the
Home Relief Committees will so far toward accom-
plishing what she and her associates desire.
There is no doubt that the relief work that has been
and is being carried in this city for the relief OF
the Belgian and other sufferers abroad has caused
the public for time being to lose sight Of distress
that exists in much less terrible FORM in our own COM
munity That factor in the situation probably has had
more to do with the plight of the Home Relief Com
mtee than anything else. We do not think however,
that those who are engaged in the work OF relieving
the Belgian and other sufferers are persons VINO
are unmindful of local conditions who will permit
acute suffering in our city Their position Is un-
derstood TO be that no here is in danger at this
time of death from starvation. On the other hand
thew contend there are hundreds Of thousands of Bel
eians and others in Europe who not only are In dan
ger of such a fate but who only can obtain reliei
through the sending of foodstuns and clothing from
this side as the necessares Of life not obainable
I'm the European war zone
We feel sure that in little while the Home
Relief Committee will find that the good-hearted peo
ne of Wilmington will contribute properly TO the
splendid work It has in hand and that it will be en-
abled TO prosecute its accustomed and praseworthN
work in the local field. Certainly, il there be any de-
serving organization in our community 1t Is the homo

AT last a public message has come
to the world from the Commission on
Industrial Relations. For months,
for year and more this investigat-
ing body has been touring the coun-
try in the interest of a solution Of
the trouble between capital and la
bor This was the work given them
TO do by the Congress which created
the commission. To the members
was given the power to rove about
at their own will, TO seek informa-
tion of value wherever 1t could best
be found, and then TO report their
own idea Of the most effective remedy
for the situation that they found to
exist.
The report that the commission
made public on the opening day of
Congress did not do this IL consis-
ted merely of a catalogue of charges
made by capital against labor and by
labor against capital. 1t was merely
extracts oe the testimony that has
been given by Witnesses before the
commission. Nowhere was there
anything as to the remedy. That it
is announced, will not come until
later, a long time later. In the
meantime there will be no suggestion
as to how 10 cure any situation 20
which they have invited the attention
of the public in their report.
OF what practical use is any such
report as that made by this commits
sion? OF what value is a rehearsal
of charges and counter-charge and
a repeating of unyerified complaints
Most of the witnesses who appeared
before the commission we're preju-
diced in their views, either on one
side of the great question or The
other. They told merely what was
already known to every student o.
economics. and to every man of ex
perience in the American industrial
world. There is nothing new in th'
charges and the complaints that thu
commission put iorth so solemnly al
their report Employer and employ
ed have both. been familiar will
them for years. t is but reprint
ing Of stories that have many time
been told.

Michigan Rate Decision
(From the Wa shington Post)

Strangely enough, the commission
found that the low rates which pre-
vailed we're discriminatory. having
been framed to favor certain shippers
or as a result of destructive -competi-
tiOn from which all the railroads. are
now suffering. Looking into the fu-
ture. the commission finds that there
is need Of more revenue for the rail
roads If the demand of the public for
more and better cars and motive
power TO take care of increasing
traffic is to be complied with.
Comment is male upon the anoma-
lous position in which the railroads
find themselves as the one great
business I'm which the commodity of.
fered for sale-transportation-is not
subject 10 the VII of the owner. j
raw materials, iaoo', &c, increase ir
cost 10 other corporations, they ma.
protect themselves by advancing
/ their prices, but the price of trans
nortation. the commission remarks
els vested in a body having no flnan
cial interest in the result. Therefore
the state. through its Legislature
! commission, or courts, largely deter
mines whether the service rendere
shall he az a profit or a loss"
Read usting the intrastate rate
generally so that all the railroad
shall compete on a fair basis, an
taking the mileage basis for rate fix
ing. the commission has granted tn
carriers of Michigan something NOR
than per cent. advance. While thi
will be helpful in only one localit,
il is an evidence of the new tren
of thought prevailing among III
different State railroad commission
