MID-SEASON DRESS

variety obtains In cut and color or
fabric combination that it is difficult
for anyone with the slightest knack
at sewing or with artistic ideas to
so very far wrong.
Printed and plain white volle are
suggested nS suitable for the little
frock shown in the sketch. although
plain and dotted handkerchief linen,
checked gingham and plain color
chambray, etc, might be used as eff.
fectively.
The double tunic is suggestive Of n
style line that is to be given consider
able prominence in the first showing
advance models carry out nn Illusion
of brevity in length and breadth OF
skirts, while they are in reality longer
and narrower than those generally fn-
Vored Mt present, and the long tunic
aids very materially In this illusion,
the underskirt being reasonably close
reefcd and modestly long, while the
upper skirt or tunic is given n decided
flare. The hosiery display of the past
season or two will not be looked on
with favor in the fall, as practically
all frocks brush lower than the shoe
tops.
The little frock in the sketch is, how
ever, distinctly n summer model, and
excellent for tub fabrics. The back
of the bodice has deep round yoke,
coming below the shoulders, of white
voilc, and the back of the skirt is cx-
actly like the front, pancled in white
and printed voile. The dress fastens
in the center front.
To make this gown, three yards of
plain fabric 36 inches wide and seven
and n half yards of figured material
the same width will be required. The
wide. A bright ribbon is used for the
girdle.
The generous use of ribbon rs u
trimming or finishing touch on sum-
mcr frocks IS a notable feature, and it
strengthens the quaint and pictur,
"sque tendency of the seasons ap-
parel.
Klbbons Will be used rather freely
on the next seasons evening frocks.
tolorcd silk or bead embroidericS are
favorite trimming touches for modish
utility gown of serge or gabcrdinc.
The tendency to favor n lower waist
line Is more and more emphasized as
the early fall models see the light of

This Is n ribbon season, as we all
know, and the shops, naturally, have
put forth big and soodly supply Of
attractive ribbons in response to the

DO you know how to tie bow?
Probably not. In this day of special
iZation few women do know how to
tie more than n lingerie or hair rib

at the ribbon counters. for our dress
makers and our mllliners to tie bows
Of every other sort.
To begin with, II you would tie

covered wire and use 1t to tie the
loops In position. This, for instance,
Is the way professional ties n sash

Inches to go around the waist. Then
she mikes ms many loops as she
wishes, gathering the ribbon for each
through her fingers.
Next she measures Off with her
right hand, holding the loops in her
left, enough ribbon for the two ends,
and at the end Of this ribbon makes
one more loop. This leaves II long
loop of ribbon, later TO be the two

After having seen all sorts of sen ators and congressman and having particularly seen those who are sup posed to be opposed to the govern ment railroad, Judge s. o. Morford re turned last evening on the Watson with a statement that not the slight est trouble may be expected from any opposition, and that the large appro- priation of six millions will go through without any hitch whatever. The opposition, the judge says, has no strength, even granting that 1t prac- tically exists at all. The judge had fine trip and escaped all the bad weather, having had the luck not to be in any of the cities at the time they had their storms. He visited New York, as well as Washington, St. Paul and a thousand other places. While in Ogden, Utah, they were actually sprinkling the streets. - Seward Gateway.

PETROGRAD, March 16. -- A com mittee of members of the Duma have begun a thrift campaign, and are urg- ing the government to support them by prohibiting importation of luxur- ies and by using every means in it's power to turn the stream of unfrut- full expenditure into the channel of national war effort.
 The committee urges that the rail ways should cease to carry anything but the necessaries of life, and pro tests that flowers and mineral waters have in some cases been given prece- dence over flour and coal. The minis try of railways has just announced that passenger traffic on the line from Petrograd to Moscow will be stopped for a week, in order to allow the accel- erating of freight and war traffic.

KENNECOTT MINE LEADS ALL

These profits are based upon an estimated produc- ton of 2,O33, ,OOO, 900 pounds, at an av- craze cost of production of 3-4 cents per pound Tn the list of pro ducing companies estimated produc- tion and estimated cost per pound, the Kennecott mine stands first as to low cost of production, it's cost per pound being 4 3-4 cents, as against 13 cents for North Butte, II cents for Calumet & Hecla, cents for Utah, and various figures between the ex- tremes for the different other com panies, of which more than 30 are listed. In the estimated production Kennecott stands forth with 120,000.- 900 pounds, given as the 1916 total. It is exceeded only by Anaconda 32O,- 100000 pounds, Utah 175,OOO,OOO Phelps-Dodge 155,OOO,O00. Think of the tonnage it means for railroads. When it is considered that this new Alaska property forges ahead of Chile, Inspiration Bay, Calumet & Hecla, Cerro de Pasco, East Butte, Copper Range and various other properties, the remarkable development as well as the high value in the ore can be well understood.

HOW COLORADO
LAW WORKS.

Chicago. Jan. Plat the last SEES
sion of the Colorado legislature the
state Industrial commission was Gre
ated. One section. of this law provides
that employers and employees shall
give at least 80 days notice before
making any change in working condi-
tons. The law further provides that
In case the industrial commission IL

acter, and an employer forces a lock-
out or the employees strike. the party
or parties are guilty of misdemeanor
and liable to fine of not more than
800.
Under this act strikes are Illegal
until the commission makes its award.
Writing In the Tailor. official mag
azine of the Journeymen Tailors' I'm.
ion, Organizer Biggs, located in Den
yer, expresses this opinion of the act:
If the negroes of Tennessee should
ask for better wages or conditions at
the beginning Of the cotton picking
season, and were restrained from en-
forcing their demands, and were COM
PEELED to continue working until the
season was over and the cotton pick
ed, and were then given a hearing on
the reasonableness of their demand,
they would be in much the same posi-
ton as are the jolrneymen tailors of
Denver, Colo. But, fortunately for
the negroes of Tennessee, they have
more freedom to right their wrongs
than have the journeymen tailors Of

Postal Workers
Indicted

Fairmont, w. Va, Jan. 27.-Can
postofice employees resign as pro-
test against intolerable working con-
ditions? i
The above questio mis- answered. in
an emphatic negative by the United
States departmental justice, which
has secured the indictment for con-
spiracy of 26 letter carriers and
clerks because they showed some
degree of independence on November
IL, last, by forwarding their resigna-
lions to the postoffice department at
Washington. The case will be tried
by Judge Dayton, the wellknown in
junction judge, at Parkersburg. Sign
ed letters accompanying the ,resigna-
lions, indicate that these workers pa
tiently endured a long list of abuses,
= they had at last reached a point
where they had lost faith in both the
civil service commission and postal
authorities who accept without pro-
per investigation the views and opin-
ons Of postmasters when complaints
are made
And now, in true bureaucratic style,
these workers are indicted for con-
spiracy instead of treating them as
citizens and removing their cause for
complaint.
The postal employees are members
of the National Association of Letter
Carriers and the United National AS
ISOLATION of Post Office Clerks. Meth
er of these organizations is affiliated
to the American Federation of Labor.
AS yet their officers have not express
ed an opinion on the matter or indi-
Gated that they will assist in any
manner their indicted members who
were actually driven to resigning.
