l the styles of which change twelve
 times a year. A skirt season at pres ent lasts one month according to in-
 disputable authority. A fall style ] show has been in progress in Chicago, 1 where skirt manufacturers declared: l We are making plaid skirts in | browns and greens just now, but we don't know what we will be making next month"
 Very likely next month will bring forth something in purple polka dots or in broad horizontal pink stripes No man can say, not even man who
 is in the business of inventing and
 making these things; but it is entirely
 safe to say the next fashion will be-
 something entirely different All this
 is a painful thing to contemplate, al-
 though it may result in a kaleidoscopic| variation that Is gratifying to the casual eye. But, really, a skirt should last longer than a month. Twelve changes a year make altogether too much change in any fashion. Even perishable goods last longer than that, under the benefits of modern refrig- eration.
 Let us hope the conditions have been exaggerated, as they have fre- quently proved to be when described by art specialists in wearing apparel. If the conditions are as unsettled and f1ickering as reported, 1t is difficult to see how Causes can make any prog ress whatever. If mere men had to worry about monthly changes in the fashions of their coats, most of them would promptly cease to care wheth- CT or not they had the vote. Even under a free and easy sartorial sys- tenn that permits any man to retain his self-respect while wearing a coat that was constructed several months before the Bull Moose entered poli- tics, it is only with great difficulty that the stability ot the nation Is pre- served. These matters deserve the earnest consideration of all wearers of skirts

The Perfect Husband.
(M eriden Record.)

Another perfect husband' has been found-this time in Brooklyn, N. Y. According to his own testimony he worked every day, stayed home every night, saved his money, bought a home, gave his wife $100 every Christmas, never took vacation, never saw a ball game, never went to the theater, never attended a clam bake or a picnic of any kind, never dank or smoked or Chewed, never failed in faithfulness and affection to his wife.
 And yet his wife has sued him for divorce, alleging cruel and inhuman treatment. Shes bigger than he is, too.
 It looks from here, as if the hus- band were little too perfect. If he'd got out and had a little fun once in a while, and sort of freshened up, instead of sticking around the house until his wife got tired of looking at him. or if he'd had a vice or two, he might never have drawn that di- vorce suit.

Serious Automobile Accident in BeCkIey Early This Morning
FOUR TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
James Gross May Have Broken Back Other Members of Party Bruised Attends State Field Day.

As a result of an accident on the Turnpike near the Seibert farm in Beekley, this morning about 3 o'clock, four members of an autOmo obile party are now patients at the Hartford hos pital. Last evening, c. R. Merriman of East Hartford took a young couple, whose names could not be ascertained to Meriden to visit friends The par tN~started on the return trip and met James Gross of 231 Market street, Hartford, and Philip Block, also of Hartford. in the Silver City and MT. Merriman offered them a ride home as they had missed the last train. Everything went alright until a fog settled as the machine reached this town MT. Merriman slackened his speed and is said to have been going about twenty-five miles an hour, when the accident occurred.
 The automobile passed safely through Berlin and the driver became confused at the Seibert driveway. He mistook the right side white fence along the highway for the left and N before he realized his mistake, had l turned toward the embankment be- I Tween the road and the billboard. MT. Merriman immediately applied his brakes, but did it so suddenly the car was turned completely about and overturned. MT. Merriman is pow arful man and so hard did he apply the brakes, that the steering wheel was detached from the pole. The I machine was caved in the rear, the flanders were crushed and the side was t@dly smashed.
 Drs. GriswOld and Johnson were summoned and hastened to the scene of the accident The young woman sustained a gash extending across her forehead and was rendered uncon- scfous MT. Merriman was severely ut about the hands and arms and -uSered considerably in his hips. MT.

BAR EMIGRATION TO |. s.
Hungary Threatened by Loss of People and United States by Flood of Cheap Labor.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
 Budapest, Hungary, July 20.-Hun- gary, probably more than any Flu ropean nation. is going to have to erect restrictive barriers against the emigration of it's inha bitants to Amer ica after the war. in the opinion of Dr. Gustav Gratz. member of parIia- 1nent and director of the Hungarian Manufacturers association. At the same time if the United States hopes entirely to escape from an inundation of so-called "cheap labor,' 1t must cooperate and itself put up barriers which shall help to keep out the 1 thousands who, Dr. Gratz believes, 1 will want and try to forsake their na- 1 tive country and it's heavy problems. l Dr. Gratz declares that he knows ! from personal investigation that the | tendency to emigrate from agricul- 1 tural Hungary will be in strong con- trast to the tendency of industrial Austria and Germany to stay at l home.
 The cause for this tendency of | course, he explains, is to be found in ! the fact that the agricultural worker l is not going to be so fortunately sit 1 uated after the war as the industrial 1 man, especially as the worker in Ger
 many and a great part of Austria who l is probably going to find plenty of
 work t wages high enough to offset the present and prospective high l prices.
 Yet he believes. there will he sono q l tendency on the part of the skilled | laborer to go across to the new home.
 His hope that this is going to be pre-
 vented during critical period in l Europe lies not only in possible leg tslat1on here, but in the repeated indi-
 cations from America that she would
 like to check the number of emi-
 grants coming to her.

Mining in Mexico.

Conditions in Mexico are not satis- fa ctOry, certainly, but they are not as lad as they have been painted is proved by the state of affairs with the Groene-Cananea Mining company.
 The company rounded out the first half of the year with an output of close to 3O,oO0,O00 pounds of copper, ny all odds the best showing ever ma5n cn a similar period. The big improvement in conditions in the vii c;rity of Cananea is shown by the fact that in tho entire 1915 year the plant worked only 151 days and produced only 16,000000 pounds of copper. In 1914 the output amounted to about 21,S00,000 pounds.
 It is refreshing to get a note Of courage a nd hope from Mexico now and then, and especially when it $ justified by actual events.
