TO The Southern Men.

One of our parish subscribers,
a man of Big Affairs, morally,
educationally, and politically, re,
xuests the publication Of the
following which gives one view
point of the Southern mans p0-
sition on the suffrage question.
The flush of shame has been
brought to the cheek of Virginia
women and of women Of the
other Southern States by the
men of the South who from a
mistaken idea of chivalry have
refused to aid them and have en-
deavored to block their efforts to
secure their acknowledgements.
The natural Interpretation plaC-
ed by the world at large upon
the attitude of the SOrthern man
in this respect is not that the
Southern ma e is more chivalr0us
than his Western brother, but
that the Southern woman is in
feriOr to the woman OF the West.
Southern women have been
branded as unfit and incOmpe-
tent by that chivalry that claims
it has placed her upon the ped
estal.
Let me quote from a speech OF
Mr.. Kindel's before Congress on
Jan. II.
"Mr. Speaker, notwithstanl-
ing | firmly believe IN woman
sharing in the affairs of govern
ment, and that they should en-
JOY every privilege vouchsafed to
man, [ cannot and do not believe
that the people Of Colorado
should dictate to the people o
othet States that they mus
adopt the same rules and en-
reimbursement for their citizens
that prevail in Colorado. In the

1t seems that everything is woven
In stripes this year, and the frock Of
bingham for the half-grown schoolgirl
may show them as we'll managed as
they are in the visiting gown made for
her mother. The handling of striped
fabrics is not a particularly simple
matter, but when well done the re-
suits are something to be proud of.
A good model for a dress of striped
material is shown in the picture. 1t
is in every way commendable for the
girl of from nine to fourteen years and
merits the attention of those who
must provide clothes that shall be at.
tractive for girls of the awkward age.
One of the strongest points in favor of
striped fabrics for ckildren's wear lies
in the fact that they allow simplicity
and variety at the same time. By the
simple eXpedient Of changing the di.
rection of the stripes the trimming
is provided of the same material as
the frock.
The model shown is so good that
It should be followed exactly as it is
by the copyists who use it. The bodice

MAKES FOR SAFETY
AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF TRAINS
NOW POSSIBLE.
Invention of Chicago Man Seems to Be
the Long-Sought Idea of Railroad
ers-Tests Have Proved Its
Efficiency.

AS a result of 20 years effort auto
matte control of railroad trains is a
fact. For decade railroad operators,
engineers and inventors have studied,
stewed and dreamed over some de.
vice or system that would control the
movements of trains Independently
of human agency. It was realized
that there must be some exterior me-
chanical hand to say yes or no, or
lives of innocent people, people who
paid to be safely transported, would
continue to be sacrificed.
From the crude semi-methods Of
railroading of rs years ago the system
has changed until now transportation
is a science and In many ways prac-
tically perfect. Formerly the men be-
tween our cars turned hand brakes to
stop trains. A big brain assembled
air in rubber pipes and called it an
air brake. This marked an era, a
new deal under which trains operating

FEWER ACCIDENTS ON LINE
Safety First Campaign Has Had Most
Gratifying Results on Western
Railroad.

Safety first is not a question of dol,
lars and cents; it is question of saw
ing human life, the most valuable
thing in the world, which, when once
gone, can never be brought back. 1t
is trying to save men from losing their
legs and their arms, which never can
be put back. 1t is trying to save the
making of widows and orphans, desti.
tuition and misery Neither the officers
nor the laws can do it. But the work
men can do it if they try.
The following statement shows the
reduction in number of accidents on
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
for four and one-half years ending De-
cember 81, 1914, as compared with
four and one-half years on same basis
as year ending June 3d. 1910, before the
safety first committees were organ
ized
One hundred and seventy-three
fewer employees killed, a decrease of
1873 per cent.
Ten thousand, six hundred and
a decrease of 27.3 per cent.
Nine hundred and sixty-one fewer
passengers injured, a decrease of 22.8
per cent. a..
Two hundred and ten fewer outsid-
ers killed, a decrease of 1914 per cent.
Two hundred and twenty-eight fewer
outsiders injured, decrease of 80 per
cent.
Mileage June 80, 1910, 1858.
Mileage December 81, 1914, S,423.
The Northwestern railroad operates
in nine states, with mileage of 8,422
miles; the safety first work was com
menced in May, 1910, and there are
now over nine hundred men serving on
the division, terminal shop, local and
central safety committees. The best
evidence Of the effectiveness of the
work done by the men serving on
these safety committees is shown in
the following statement of reduction
in accidents for the six months ending
December 81, 1914, as compared with
the same six months in 1909, before
the safety first organization was put
into operation:
1909 1914
| Employees killed ................ 81 "a
Employees injured ..............4,546 3.025
In our statistics every case is count
ed where the injured person loses one
days time or more.

the right direction. They slant to
ward the middle of the belt at the
back and front. At each side band
of the material, having the stripes
running horizontally, makes a neat
decorative feature and adds to the
shapeliness of the waist. In the elbow
length sleeves the stripes run length
wise.
The neck and sleeves are finished
with an embroidered edging in sim
pie, well-made design. Pearl but
tons, two at each side, and simulated
buttonholes Of narrow braid, are eff
fective little touches on the front of
the waist
The skirt is moderately full with
panel at the front and plaits at the
sides and back Above the three-inch
hem a band of the material, with the
stripes running horizontally, gives the
skirt neat finish and a desirable
flare at the same time.
The belt may be of patent leather or
suede or of some heavy fabric. Alto
getber, this dress follows many good
points in the modes of spring for
grownups and at the same time con-
tyfves to be prettily childish and very
practical. 1t is meant to be developed
in wash fabrics and is easy to launder.

Smart Outing Costumes.

For smart country club costumes
in norfolk style there is a new silk
material called khaki-kool, which
comes in various crisp weaves re.
sembling shantung and rajah pongees
and in smart shades of sand, putty,
dreadnaught gray and in pearl and
oyster white These costumes are
very simple and very smartly tailored
with belted coats above wide circular
skirts The natural shade of the
khaki-kool is sometimes matched by
natural silk stockings; stockings to
match the dark and light gray shades
are also carefully selected for wear
with black pumps or boots. This
khaki-kool has virtue OF sptingine

without doubt, be fancied also fol-

A new combination has appeared
among undermuslins and has proved
a great success in the spring dis
plays 1t has appealed to the senses
of utility, economy and daintiness,
which women exercise when Quitting
themselves with summer underwear.
This garment is called the envelope
chemise" and is engagingly' pretty as
well as practical.
To cut the new combination, one has
only to vary the lower part of a
chemise pattern by sloping the side
seams outward to provide for fare
ht the bottom. Also the back breadth
is cut longer than the front breadth
and with a tab at the center of the
lower edge. This tab is more or less
narrow apd is provided with button
holes which fasten over small, fiat
pearl buttons sewed to the bottom
edge of the front breadth.
This arrangement divides the skirt
of the chemise, making 1t as easy to
walk in as muslin or silk pants and
giving the appearance of short I'M
der petticoat.
The envelope chemise is developed
in nainsook or other thin cotton fab
RIGS and in wash silk or crepe de chine
1t is trimmed with the usual lingerie
laces. The corset cover, pants and
short skirt may be dispensed with
when this chemise is adopted, since II
takes the place OF each Of them.
