the I.eoncavallO opera by the organiZa-
ton in st. Louis, he was recalled four
times and compelled to repeat the beau

permit the performance to proceed.
Antoa is said by well-known critics to

DRESS OF, SCHOOL GIRLS

Frequent criticisms of conspicuous
dressing among school girls indicates
that the statements of Mrs. Giles
Scott Rafter, president of the Moth
ers' Congress, may be correct. Mrs.
Rafter called attention in a recent
address especially to eighth grade
school girls at the recent mid year
graduations.
If such a condition exists no bet
ter group could be found to deal
with the problem than the Congress
Of Mothers. Teachers have been
wrestling with it for several years,
and they have confronted the hard
wall of parental independence, across
which mothers state they are privi-
legged to dress their children any way
they see fit.
The entire question is one for
mothers, and hardly for the schools,
to cope with. 1t is hard to see how
any school regulation, short of \ re-
quirement for school uniforms, could
dictate styles of dress. But in the
education of mothers to a better taste
in this direction there is ample op-
portunity for the Mothers Congress
to create a decided sentiment in IA
vor Of more simple dressing for the
school girl.

Severe Arrangement Of Methods OF
Commission, Merchants.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
In recent editorial you state that
a most important question to be solved
Is why people are averse to living on
the farms and svhy they want to crowd
into the cities. There are a number OF
reasons why this Is so. but the rrinci-
pal reason IL that the man on the farm
gets disgusted with the game when he
sees the commission men and tho retail
grocer getting the profits OF his labor
while he does the work.
A woman in Wcstmoreland county.
Va. sent a calf to the Washington mar
kets and she received. net. 70 cents
from the commission man for the calf.
Another party In King George county
sent a shipment Of fine peaches. The
commission man reported the market
slow. no sale for peaches and returned
ridiculousy small sum for the
peaches. The shipper sent another
shipment with the same result. He sent
third shipment and had a friend fol-
low 1t up. This friend called Mt the
commission mans place OF business and
priced the peaches. He was told that
they were OF the finest quality and was
quoted the top pr1ce-but the shipper
got back the same old report.
1t Is small wonder, therefore. that the
