France excused herself on the plea
that material was so costly to produce
that the designers had to put out an
immense amount of capital to secure
the right fabrics to create gowns that
the Americans would buy. She In

Short skirts in the evening were
comfortable because dancing was the
universal recreation, but when short
skirts left the length demanded by the
fox trot and almost reached the
length demanded by the ballet, it was
necessary to do something strange in
the way Of new fashion.

The Stadium Project.

An urgent appeal was made Fri
day before the appropriations commit
tee of the House by representatives, of
the Amateur Athletic Union for the
early enactment of the Hubert bill,
which proposes AN appropriation to
carry out Col. iIarts' plan for a stadium
on lower Potomac Park This project
~ thus stamped as a national enterprise,
not merely local. There is at present no
great athletic field at the capital at
which outdoor sports can be conducted,
and the plan devised by Col. Harts con
emplates a meeting of this need most
effectively. If il is executed it will fur
nish here in Washington the place
where international sports can be held,
and the interest of the Amateur Athletic
Union, which is perhaps the most rep
resentative national organization of this
character, should persuade those in
charge of this matter in Congress that
there is general public demand for
the equipment of the capital in this re-
spect.
The opportunity afforded by the lower
Potomac Park for stadium construc.
ton is unexampled. Here there is space
for an immense athletic field which will
be a model recreation center for the

Cleanup Work in Maryland.

Effective cleanup work is being done
in Prince Georges county, where for a
number of years laws against gambling
have been violated or evaded, with the
result of the development of bad
moral condition inevitably affecting the
local community Recently the sheriff
conducted raid on a place where hand
books were being written on the races
and heavy fines we're imposed. The lat
est move in this crusade is just reported,
saloonkeeper being heavily fined for
permitting card playing for drinks. A
few prosecutions and punishments like
this will most effectively break up a
practice that greatly handicaps any
community in its development.
Washington is keenly interested in
the conditions that prevail in the ad-
jacent counties. Years ago it suffered
seriously from the laxity of Alexandria
county and greatly rejoiced when it was
corrected through the Intervention of
the governor of the state and the ap-
pointment of special prosecutor, who
broke the power of the combination then
in control of the county's affairs. 1t is
gratifying to find evidences of de-
termination to clean up the lawbreakers
of Prince Georges county. If this is eff
fected the territory adjacent to Wash
ington will all be in satisfactory state
of law observance

The Minimum Wage Bill.

A unanimous report has been made
to the House on the bill which proposes
a minimum of So day in the eompen-
sation of all government employees, in
Guiding those of the District of Colum
bia. The necessity for such a measure
has been amply demonstrated in the
course of hearings which have been held,
at which numerous instances have been
given. illustrative of the general con
dition of the utterly inadequate pay
given to men and women in the govern
ment service. These hearings have
shown that in certain respects Uncle
Sam is exacting hard labor from his peo-
pie for mere pittance. The scale es-
tablished in the government depart
ments is low at best in all the grades,
not having been changed for more than
fifty years, and inasmuch as the cost of
living has increased greatly in that time
the actual situation of the public service
worker is lamentable. The hardships
are most severe naturally in the lower
grades of the service, in which the pay
scale is little better than niggardly.
The Nolan bill proposes minimum
of 50 day for all who have been at
least two years in the government serv-
ice, and who are twenty-one years of
age or over In case of those who work
less than eight hours day the pay
shall be at the rate of not less than
37h cents an hour This will give de-
cent living wage to those who do the un-
skilled work in the government service
and will prevent the spectacle of the
United States government exactlng serv-
ice at starvation rates.
The passage of the Nolan bill at this
session is most desirable as a measure
of prompt justice and relief. The net
increase in the cost of government ad-
ministration will be small. Cheap work
is always poor work, and the govern
ment will ultimately profit by the main
tenance of more liberal wage scale,
which will stimulate interest on the part
of the workers.

Hamlet and the Play.

This is from an account of Mr.. Roose-
ret's latest visit TO New York city:
While the colonel waved aside all po
htical questions almost before they were
rorpcd. If was most authoritativcly stat
ed that he did not at present intend to
20 to Chicago TO attend the progressive
convention to he held there synchro-
nouslv with the republican convention.
The source of this highly authoritative
declaration in a measure relieved the
shock of the announcement. however. by
adding: But of course the exigencies of
the situation. as it develops, may cause
even Isle / the colonel to change his
mind.
Much of the speculation about the bull
moose national convention has been
based upon an assumption that Mr..
Roosevelt would attend, and be director
in-ehicf. The subject has lent itself to
two rather stirring suggestions.

welt nominated by the republican con

We may expect Mr.. Roosevelt to de-
eide the question of attendance accord
ing to the latest advices before conven-
tion time. He is as good a stage man
ager as actor. He knows the value of
scene, and how to set it. He believes in
whoopla, and knows how to produce it.
And he wants to ado something at Chi
eago.
The town will not lack for animation
ut that time It will be full of people,
and they full of excitement. But if Mr..
Roosevelt is present the hullabaloo
will be the greater. He radiates the
article. No other man of this day-not
even Mr.. Bryan-can work up street
srene or hall scene TO a pitch quite
SO high. Indeed. he both raises and

over, such stadium would have set

and its wide acceptance on the score of
its extreme persuasiveness. He pos
sesses the ability required for the Treas
; ury Department. Next to Mr.. Roosevelt,
he is probably the most influential bull
mooser in the country. He is regarded
as Mr.. Roosevelt's closest adviser on po-
; litical matters in general and business
; matters in particular, In the event of
Mr.. Roosevelt's return to the White
House. what better choice for the Treas
ury Department could he make than
that of Mr.. Perkinsi
A rumor of like character circulated
in 1912 after the bull moose bolt at
Chicago and the nomination of Mr..
Roosevelt for President on a bull moose
platform. 1t was plain then that bull
moose success would impose on Mr..
Roosevelt the necessity of choosing the
strongest possible cabinet; and Mr..
Perkins for Secretary of the Treasury
was tip that spread rapidly.
New York is always interested in the
Treasury Department, and usually has a
candidate for the place. no matter which
party wins at the polls. Mr.. McAdoo,
classed as a New Yorker. is likely to
get second term if Mr.. Wilson does.
Hence the widespread report that a
Roosevelt triumph will mean New
Yorker to succeed Mr.. McAdoo, and
hence the fact that Mr. Perkins has been
the best bet in all political circles.
Mr. Perkins speaks positively. And
vet he might be induced to change his
mind. Such thing is not unknown in
politics. During the four years begin
ming in March next, the man at the
the full confidence of his chief, will
have opportunity to do the country
most important service and make for
himself most distinguished reputation.
Tariff problems. trust problems, and
currency problems of large proportions
will be presented to him, first for sug
gestions and then for execution as laws;
and his place in the 1imelight will he
beyond dispute.
- If Mr.. Roosevelt has the call, Mr..
Perkins will be within hearing; and
should the call reach him he will obey,
intent as he is on keeping himself un-
spotted from the official world.

Higher Coal Prices.

II is announced that the federal trade

why hard coal goes up in price every
time an increase in pay is granted to
the miners. II should not be a difficult
question to answer The coal mine op-
orators have a perfectly logical response
in general terms, to the effect that if
they have TO paw more for labor the
cost of production is greater and the
consumer has to pay the difference. It
is so in every industry The consumer
always pays, and perhaps in the last
ANALYSIS he should pay. The only real
question in the matter is whether he
pays in proper proportion. II is not an
unknown practice for wholesalers and
retailers TO advance prices on the basis
Of certain cost increases in labor and
materials, but TO make the consumer
