WHAT IS LIMIT OF CAR
BOMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 10-Can a street
railway company be held responsible
for personal injuries sustained by a
passenger from the explosion of dyna-
mite under trolley car?
The question has been raised in this
city in consequence of the injury OF
several persons on street cars, includ-
ms a number of women, and Atlanta
lawyers are discussing it with much
interest.
Some of them hold to the view that
a common carrier is required by law
tc exercise extraordinary care and dill
gence for the protection of its passen-
gers, and, therefore, company would
he liable; while others hold that the
employment of special deputies com

FARMERS ARE URGED
SAVE COTTON SEED

WASHINGTON, D, c., Nov. 10.-Be-
cause of unusual conditions in the
South and the markets of the world
which are operating to reduce mater
tally the usual autumn supply of cot
ton seed, cotton growers are urged by
the L. S. Department of Agriculture to
save enough of their best seed to meet
al their planting needs next spring
1t is recommended, that in estimating
the supply which will be needed, al
lowance be made for possible replan-
ing requirements. 1t is also suggested
that farmers having exceptionally good
seed may find it advantageous to save
more than enough to fill their own
needs. since there should be a ready
sale for the surplus in the spring to
other planters.
Cotton growers should not be willing
because of the seed shortage, to take
the first supply available without re-
gard to its quality, but should willing
ly pay an increased price fer the seed
OF types of proven worth. Farmers
having sufficient supply of unginned
seed of desirable quality should see
that special precautions are taken to
avoid contamination by mixture with
worthless seed during ginning. 1t may
be well to save such seed cotton until
near the close of the ginning season,
when arrangements for especially
careful ginning may be made.
The primary factor in the cotton
seed shortage, it is shown by reports
to the Department of Agriculture, is
the shortage of the cotton crop in
most of the Southern States, due to
drought, floods, and boil weevil infes-
tation. The shortage is marked in all
the cotton-producing states except
Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Ark
ansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, and is
appreciate in some of these states.
The seed produced is rapidly passing
to the mills for crushing, since the
price offered per ton is approximately
twice as high as during normal years.

.SHOPKEEPER LAW Is
PASSED IN LONDON

LONDON, Nov. l0.-The latest dras>
tic act for government control of bus
mess in the interest of war efficiency
is the law passed by parliament for
early closing shops All shop keepers,
great and and small, must shut their
places Of business at eight O'Clock ex-
oept on Saturday nights when they
keep open until nine. The first propos-
al wos for even earlier closing, but
the bill was amended to grant an extra
hour for 1--WE days of the week, by
changing seven to eight.
The chief object aimed at is econ
omy of heating and lighting, which of
course means economy of coal. One of
the great assets of Great Britain dur
ing the war is its revenue from the
expectation of coal, and moreover its
allies need all they can get. Like ey-
cry other war measure, however, this
act excites opposition and creates
complications, although the people as
a whole will accept it eheerfully as
they have other inconvenieneies.
The small shop-keepers who live at
their place of business are the ones
who find most objection. One ground
of criticism is that the public houses
are still to be opened until half past
nine. why should men and women
be allowed to gather in drinking plac-
es and buy beer, if they cannot loaf in
a cigar store and buy cigars, and Cos
sip with the clerk ?" is one of the ques-
lions asked. Places where meals are
served may remain open. but only for
the purpose of giving meals. They
cannot sell cigars, nor can they sell
candy OF food to be taken off the prem
ises, since the shopkeepers dealing in
the same commodities are forbidden to
sell. Nor can the night hawks who
have carts 10 the streets for dispensing
coffee and lunches to late workers, ac-
cording to some constructions Of the
law, sell cakes to be taken away.
Some of the complications concern
places of amusement. "The theatres
and music halls must not sell cigars
and confectionery after eight o'clock
it we cannot say the small shop
keepers. THAT would be class legis-
lation, and unfair competition" Smok-
ers who are up late, hereafter, must
have tobacco in their pockets, or go
without

The Latest in Hand Baqs.

The tendency toward drawstring
bags made of silk or Of satin continues
very strong. Decided ingenuity is
evinced in the new designs and shapes,
now appearing in large variety The
belief is generally expressed that this
vogue for drawstring bags will con-
tinue throughout the summer and, pos
sibly into the early fall, says the Econ
omist.
The favored material for these bags
continues to be silk MORE, especially
black. In many instances, however,
MORE is combined with some other
material. One favored combination Is
black MORE and multi-colored silks of
all description.
Beads Of various descriptions take
the lead as ornamentation, cut steel
being very strong. Sometimes the cut
steel beads are combined with small
colored beads and also with beads made
of aluminium. Small colored beads
are also used alone. Tinsel, too, Is
frequently employed.
The shapes are greatly diversified,
ranging from the plain pouch to the
shirred, the pleated, the TERED and the
panelled effects.
In practically all instances, the equip
ment of these drawstring bags con-
sists of a change purse and a mirror,
the purse usually being attached to
the bag by slender chain. In place
Of a change purse, recent innovation
is combination change purse and
powder puff holder.
A large assortment of fabric bags in
colors is being offered: brown, blue,
gray, purple and pink. Great atten-
ton Is being paid to the Innings, silks
in all colors and in multitude of de-
signs being extensively employed.
In leather bags, as well as in leather
goods generally, manufacturers are
greatly handicapped by the scarcity OF
dyes and by the high price OF desira-
BILE feathers. Skins suitable for the
making Of handbags have advanced at
least 100 per cent during the last IL
months and are steadily growing
dearer.
Pin.seal still has large following,
but coarse grain feathers OF all kinds
have good representation. Vachette
occupies prominent position and Is
frequently employed in combination
with other feathers, especially white
kid. Calf and Morocco continue to be
combined to a fair extent.
