CANADIAN POWER SCHEME
OPPOSED BY THE U. S.
Ontario Government Receives Note
From Secretary Lansing
Voicing Objections.

TORONTO, Ontario. May 5.-The on
tario government has received formal
note from the Secretary of State, for
uarded through the British ambassador
at Washington, to the Canadian de-
partment of state, saying that the gov
eminent of the United states cannot
look with favor on the proposed
Chippewa Creek power development
scheme at Niagara Falls. The note now
is in the hands of l. 3. Lucas of the
Ontario government, who will draft
reply.
The chief objection of the United
states government to the proposed de-
is that it dive-ts water
from the Niagara river to such an eX-
tent that the scenery of the famous
Niagara gorge would be harmed, ac-
rording TO a resume of the note given
out here today. The scheme, au-
thorized by Ontario legislation, pro-
vides for a flow of water from the
Niagara river above the falls by an
overland canal to the cscarpment near
Brooks monument at Quecnston, and
there turning it back into the river.
thus attaining development OF
500 900 horsepower for commercial
purposes.
Mr.. I.ausing's note points out that
this diversion would result in taking
5000 cubic feet per second from the
river between the two points.

FASHION ALLOWS PANNlER
ON ONE SIDE OF GOWN
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.


Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. May 4.-Once upon
time woman considered it necessary
to make both sides of gown exactly
alike. Astonishment ran rife when the
French designers first began to make
two different sides to a gown and join
them in the center.
This So-called extravagant idea
quickly led to eccentr;city. Designers
delighted in doing curious things, such
making one side a violent contrast
to the other. instead of creating a har
monious whole. This moved the anna
teur to try his hand at eccentricity.
with an appalling result. Then order
was declared and gowns sank back into
their habitual uniformity.
This was sane and wise. for no one
but a remarkable artist could create
a gown out of opposing parts and the
amateur as usual caught up the most
difficult piece of dressmaking and tried
it out with unskillful hands. and at
once A bit of delightful experimental
ton by the artists was brought to an
end
few weeks ago the idea broke out
afresh. Probably the pannier was re-
Sponsible. Two of them gave A cir
conference that many figures could
not stand. so one of them was adopt
ed and considered sufficient. The effect
of tucking up on the hips one side of a
gown was quite coquettish, and women
liked it much that the dressmakers
improved upon it. They found out that
it gave Il chance to show a simulated
petticoat at the edge of the hem and,
therefore. the idea of putting a thin
skirt and then tucking up the skirts
has become quite fashionable.

Here is a charming little costume for
spring. And the best thing about it,
perhaps, is the ease with which it can
be built at home. You have only to
make one wide box plat in the front
and another in the center of the back.
then lay the sides of the skirt In pleats
that flare loosely at the bottom. On each
side of the skirt is an overskirt drap-
cry. This is in line with a popular
tendency of the day to use overskirt
effects and side draperies. The over
skirt drape is merely gathered to the
waistband at the side and sewed under
the flap of the box pleats. The pattern
is applied in a way to produce rip
pie effect. and this, of course. means
that the inside OF the hem must be
faced.
