row brims. usually the sort that curve
upward at the sides. But whatever
their brims, the crown is gathered over
an elastic cord across the back, and
this holds them close to the head. They
are snug enough to stay on, come what
will in the way of exceeding the speed
limit.
Motor wells are of thin chiffon, usual
ly gathered on an elastic band which
fits about the hat, and they hang
straight down about the face, when
they are not blowing about. But mo-
florists appear to be less careful to
keep the face and eyes yelled than In
times past. A head muffied in a long
heavy veil is rarely seen these days
when everybody goes everywhere In a
car of some kind.

the top Of the group above. Here It
has been blocked into small shape
resembling the "coolie" hat--a CHI
nese inspiration. AS shown In the pic
ture, the underbrim Is bordered with
a fiange Of light blue crepe and there

The hat at the left is flop, simple

therefore a single and magnificent rose

reflection of the wonderful reality in
a mirror. This is hat to delight an
artists eye.

.ADAMSON LAW HEARING
BEFORE COURT JAN. 8
SUPREME COURT FIXES DATE A
WEEK AFTER THE MEASURE
GOES INTO EFFECT.

Washington, Dec 12.-Determina-
ton by the supreme court of the con
stitutionality of the Adamson law in
time for congress to enact and desired
supplementary legislation at this SEES
sion was regarded as assured today
when the court advanced the test case
for. argument on January s.
The court granted the governments
motion to expedite the Missouri, Okla
homa and Gulf railroad case, in which
Federal Judge Hook held the Adamson
act void. Hearings were set for i'm
mediately after the Christmas holidays
and ahead of all other importnt cases
already assigned for January 8.
There had been some hope of havink
the case heard before Christmas, as
the Adamson act becomes effective
January /. All interests are believed
to be conserved pending the courts
decision, however. Special accounts
of wages due employees under the law
will be held in allegiance by agreement
between the government and the rail-
roads until the decision is given.

Of Lees serried brigades during the
sixties will be echoed by the survi-
vors of the armies of the Confederacy
next May when the veterans of the
Gray will journey to Washington for
their annual reunion.
The railroads of the South have
argeed upon one cent fare per mile
each way for the occasion, and the
effect of this will be to attract a rec
ord breaking gathering.
This will be the first reunion of the
veterans at Washington. An elabo-
rate program of entertainment is be-
ing arranged which is expected to
make the reunion one of the most no
table and enjoyable in history. Most
of the time will be spent in Washing
ton where the citizens are preparing
to look after the visitors in royal fash
ion. Side trips are being arranged
for visit to Baltimore, to the Gettys-
burg battlefield where Confederate
monument will be unveiled on Friday
Of reunion week, to New York and

GIVES WARNING TO AMERICANS.

Washington, D. c., Dec. S.-Warning
populations of Western Asia to the
United States is contained in the an
nual report of Commissioner General
Anthony Caminetti of the immigration
service, made public today. The war
and conditions immediately after its
close will stay the stream for time,
but steps to head it off must be taken
before transportation interests begin
to Gull the field for their business, the
report declares.
Immigration fro mthe far Orient,
too, is a problem still unsolved, the
report sets forth The system here
tofore devised to deal with it do not
promise much improvement and ma
chinery for enforcement of the Chin
csc exclusion act is not adequate or
well adapted, it says. Arrangements
for the admission of japanese, it is
declared, should be amended to fit con-
ditions better.
1.-THE Chinese exclusion law" says
the report, should be so modified as
to make use of the same administra-
tive methods and means as are en-
ployed in enforcing the general immi-
grafton law; and the japanese ar
rangement should be so changed as
to eliminate therefrom those eXcep-
lions that have tendency so to
broaden as to reduce materially the
efficiency of the otherwise fairly sat

Hindu immigration which would be
permitted more freely under recent
supreme court decision, will be aiken

bill pending in congress.
Smuggling Of Chinese, the report
says, has been combated vigorously
with the result that amateur SNUG
Cling has been stamped out to large
degree. Higher prices that Chinese
are willing to pay therefore, it is said
has attracted to the business an eX-
pert class of criminals who are more
scientific in their methods. A bigger
appropriation is asked to meet the
problem.

HIGHER PAY IS SOUGHT
FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
INCREASE PROPOSED FROM THE
PRESIDENT DOWN TO THE HUM
RLEST LABORER.

Washington, Dec. IAN organized
effort directed by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to induce congress
to grant wage and salary increases to
all employees of the United States
government from president down to
the humblest laborer, was planned at
d meeting here today, presided over
by Samuel Compers, president OF the
federation.
Resolutions were adopted setting
forth that government salaries have
mt Kept pace with the cost of neces-
stiles of life and directing that con-
gress be petitioned to grant increases
ranging from l Otto SO 13 per cent to
government employees, whether in or
out of the civil service.
Mr.. Gompers was authorized to ap-
point committees to urge hte cause
before congress. The resolutions
agreed to include scale of increases
which will be embodied in the plan
to be pressed. 1t would provide 33 1-3
per cent increase for those receiving
less than $1,000 per annum, but not
less than 81 800; 20 per cent for those
receiving 81 500 but not less than ST.
900; / 0per cent for those receiving
81, 500 or more No employees paid
by the day should receive less than
SO, if paid by the month less than $50,
or 81 $50 if paid by the year
Should the plan be accepted by con-
gress the president, cabinet officers
and national Legislators would be in
cluded in the class to receive a 10
per cent increase. The labor commit
tees, however, while meaning to over
look no one, will confine their efforts
chiefly to procuring increases in the
lower paid grades.
The question of increasing wages
is already before the house Of repre-
sentatives in the legislative appropria-
ton BILL which is to taken up for
consideration this week.
