PAPERS ARE
HARD HIT

1t is said that thirty Wisconsin
newspapers have already suspended
publication on account of the great in
crease in paper prices and other
expenses incidental to the publication
of newspapers. In Ohio ITO papers
have already gone out of business
and many more are tottering In
the country at large there have been
over 800 newspapers compelled to
quit. This will afford some idea of
the manner in which the publishing
business has been hit by present
conditions.

PROHIBITION

The first prohibition. law in the United States. that of Maine, was drafted by Neal Dow, the famous tenn perance reformer, who was born in Portland, Maine, 112 years ago today. The Maine law suggested by Dow, an act ''to prohibit drinking houses and tipp1ing-shops," was passed in the Spring in 1851, approved by the gover- on Independence Day, when a number the law. A really serious attempt to Pine Ire State was made in 1858, when the search and seizure act far the confiscation of liquors was passed. In 1856 the whole system of liquor legislation was repealed and license law enacted, but two years later the Maine liquor law in all it's parts was re-enacted. In 1867 the Maine 1egis= lature took another whack at the pro- 11ibitory law and made it much more stringent, and appointed a state con- stable to enforce it's provisions. The corIstabulary law was repealed a year later. In 1870 a bill to increase the Ystringency of the law passed both houses without opposition, and in 1 SIP cider and wine made from Maine grown fruits were included in the pro hibition enactment. Dow, t'the Father of Prohibition,' remained active in the cause until his death in 1897, but in spite of all efforts the Maine law has never been as rigidly enforced as simi- lar later later adopted by southern and western states

Braid Is Smartly Used Here.

One reason why the Russian blouse holds it's own against the newcomers in the realm of fashion is because it lends itself to so many charming variations. One forgets the fact that this costume is simply a Russian blouse and skirt model because of the distinctive look ing braid that is used in the decora- tive scheme. Then. too, the design is adapted to development in such a wide range of materials that 1t will be aa popular in linen a few months hence as it is now in gabardine In medium 54-inch gabardine.
 The jacket, if made separately. calls for 25k yards of material It Is effec- tive in silk. particularly if the skirt is of striped or checked taffeta- If made with a shorter pepIurn than Illustrated the blouse can be made from 2A yards of goods
 The peplum is three piece affair, two sections being cut from the piece marked "F' and one from the piece marked .tJ.'' The latter is laid on q lengthwise fold of the goods. to the right of the back. which is placed the same way. After the collar, there are no other sections of the pattern which are placed on the fold of material, all being carefully laid over lengthwise thread.
 If the blouse is desired with open AAiIefAs AiIe7fAseiis eiis Ahol1l may pc cur put at the neck along indicating sTnan s''o'' per- forations. The lower edges of the pep luln, if cut off on small "o' perforations will be shorter than the effect illus. trated.
 The demand for braids has brought out some very attractive novelties in silk and wooien braids as well as in tub effects. Joffre blue and dark green designs are woven into the black silk ground of the braid used on this cos tune. and it gives the costume an afr of dressiness without making it too elaborate for general wear. About 6 yards of wide and A yard narrow braid are needed to trim blouse and skirt.
 Among the white woolen stuffs all of the serges are popular. The vogue for gabardine continues and there are many new weaves making a bid for popularity.

DOMESTIC PEACE.

Henry Ford according to court tes- timony just given. requires his work people to live peaceabIy with their wives. If they can't be Harmonious at home. they must quit his employ ment at $5 per. A man who quar- rels with his wife in the morning
 makes a poor workman all day, says Henry. Good for him!
 Modern life is disgracefully full of domestic friction. Much of it finds it's way to the courts, but still more never comes much to the surface, though destroying all domestic peace. While much of this quarreling results from infidelities and other wrongs, yet probably more of it comes from mere bad teper.
 The man comes back irritated from the days work. Things have gone wrong, hopes have turned to failures, people have been unreasona able. He can't show strain down town, as he would lose trade, his job, or his en1- ployes. So he takes it out on his wife, who may not be quick tongued enough to hit back.
 Similarly with the wife. If she does her own work, she is tired; if she has servants, she Is exasperated with their insolence. Often she is nervous and fretfuI for lack of fresh air. She snaps up her husband for trifling attractions of discipline.
 Love may. bear thorns for 8 time. but there is 8 limit. Even if the couple prefer to avoid scandal and live together. the sweet unity of the home is spoiled. The man seeks refuge at the club, the wife is glad when he slams the door and leaves her free for other diversions, There is no loving counsel for nurture of oh VUh ic grow m like nOxiOiIS weeds and become degenerative forces in society.
 If men and women could learn self control in the single matter of speech, these discords could be avoided Homes would then be what they were meant for, a place of healing from the jarring conflict of the world. They would also be a school for rear ing children into good citizenship. MT. Ford will meet with more approv- al in this peace movement than in his ambitious international efforts.

THE FUTURE OF
 COLLEGE STUDENTS.

Figures of the plans of the Yale college senior class were given out the past week. There are 126 of them who will enter some form of business, while but TO of them will become lawyers. and only nine, clerEy- en. This is a great change from the years when most college graduates went into the professions.
 The big motive governing this choice seems to be the matter of money. Business is popular because it offers a chance for large returns. Law is the one profession that is still favored, since it, too, has chances for big incomes. But it is an overcrowd- ed profession. Many young men have little liking for the long soIi- tary wait after a student has hung out his shing1e, with years of anxious listening for footfails down the cor ridor.
 The college students are supposed to have spent their four years in con tact with the worlds great philoso- phies. These frown upon the search for wealth. and exalt plain living and high thinking. But the worlds s golden prizes look much more shiny and alIuring.

TRUE COMPANIONsHEP.

J. M. H. writes: ''I synlpathize with one who would not permit near friends or kin to stand in the light of personal happiness. For myself, am a di- yorced man, through no fault of my own. Get very lonely, having had the companionship of a wife and home. I have so many so-caIIed friends. who do not appeal to me. All they seem to think of is pleasure and value friend ship by the amount of 'jitneys' one spends on therh. Still hope I-lmay meet one for good, true companion ship. Kindly give opinion.
 Sympathetic people usually meet those of like kind People meet where hills and mountains don't,'' it is said. Also Where there's life, there's hope" for deserving ones, to seek and find sunshine and proper cheer.
