From dawn to dark and from dark
to dawn the story of the busy woman
of today is illustrated by her head
wear. Her hours and occupations are
marked Off by changes in it, and they
may be many or few. But they are
not likely to be fewer than three that
will include a morning hat for sports,
a tailored or semi-dress hat for the
business of the day, and dinner or
dress hat for evening.
A hat of each of these three varieties
is shown in the group pictured here,
and each is good exponent of its par
ticular type. At the left of the pic
ture a jaunty and graceful velour is
shown with such well-balanced lines
and proportions that it can never be
anything but good style. 1t has
rolled edge and band of grosgrain
ribbon in II fiat cascade about the
crown. AT the right side, toward the
back, the ribbon lies in fiat bow on
the brinl. This is a soft and very
beautiful hat which may be found in
the odd new colors of the present sea-
son.
A hat which one hardly knows
whether to. place in the tailored or
semi-dress class is shown at the right
of the picture. 1t is of felt and
velours with fluff of velvet about the
brim edge and collar of narrow silver
ribbon-that is, tied in Il bow at The
front. The bow is of doubled ribbon
wired to support the loops and ends
in a definite position. This is very
simple trim but less precise than the
ornaments in vogue on strictly tailored
millinery. But if the hat is little
vague as TO character it has neverthe-
less achieved beauty. and for these two
reasons is a good design for all-round
wear.
The lovely cape line of black vel
vet. in the center of the group, has "a

looked at him a bit too inquiringly.

inquired.
The fellow shrugged his shoulders.
"She serves General Jacques. He
trusts her." he replied, as If that fact
abs9lXed him of responsibility.

II hope so, m'sieu," the innkeeper
answered. And he breathed silent
prayer that the Germans would not
come that way.
At that moment a lady in white
entered from the street and started
across the room toward door that
led to the chambers above.

there was every reason why he should

Henri Christophe had witnessed
their unexpected meeting with all the
interest of curious-minded resident of
a small village. 1t pleased him, more
over, that his newly found friend from

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The non union railroad men
have petitioned the President to
give his support to a petition to be
presented to congress- requesting
authority for the railroad COM
panies to raise rates sufficiently to
cover a substantial raise in the
wages OF 100000 railroad en-
ployes not affected by the A damson
law. This is natural sequence
to the passage of the Adamson
law. Having given his approval
to that law the President can not
consistently refuse like request
from the other employees even more
deserving, but who were not bene-
tised by that law. And the con.
sumer pays the freight.

Justice to Public and Roads.
s. 1t should be made the duty OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission, In
the exercise of it's powers to fix rea-
sonable rates, to so adjust these rates
that they shall be just at once to the
public and to the carriers. TO this end
the Commission, in determining rates,
should consider the necessity of maif-
tanning efficient transportation and ex.
tensions Of facilities, the relation Of
EXPENSES to rates and the rights of
shippers. stockholders and creditors OF
the roads.
g. The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion should be invested with the pow
er to fix the rates for carrying mails.
Z. The federal government should
have exclusive power to supervise the
issue of stocks and bonds by railroad
carriers engaged Iii interstate and for
eign commerce.
S. The law should recognize the es-
ssential difference between things which
restrain trade in the case of ordinary
mercantile concerns and those which
restrain trade in the case OF common
carriers. The question of competition
is not the only fair criterion.
8. The law should expressly provide
for the meeting and agreement of traf-
fic or other officers of railroads in re-
spect Of rates or practices. This
should, however, be safeguarled by
requiring the agreements to be filed
with the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion and to be subject to be disapprov-
ed by it.
My legal propositions. Mr.. Thom

now is gives full authority to Congress
to regulate the instrumentalities of In

II the power Of regulation is TO reach

States Rights Would Not Suffer.
Mr.. Thorn cited many instances in
which shippers in one state were in
juriously affected by selfish regula-
tions imposed on the railroads by
neighboring states. He pointed out
that federal regulation would be no In

would be the means Of preserving the
rights which they acquired when they
entered the Union, one of which was
the right to the free movement of their
products across state boundaries.

believe should be incorporated in any
