HATS OF FELT AND VELVET
Women VIII Mix Seasons When II
Comes To Hats.

Felt and velvet hats are always
items OF midsummer interest just as
millinery creations of lace and straw
capture feminine fancy during Janu-
airy. 1t is absurd. this mixing OF the
seasons and wearing of unreasonable
clothes. Manufacturers and merchants
have to look ahead and provide for
distant months. but there's no reason
save folly for a woman wearing fur
and felt in August, and one merely
notes her propensity for just this sort
OF folly.
\ woman will gamble upon q hat
style when she would hesitate 10 spend
her money upon new frock before
the seasons modes are really estab-
lished, and the miliiners always find
ready sale for advance models.
There is more and more tendency

son Super-Six now costs and
what it must certainly have to
cost when its price is influenced
by tAe present material market.
When former cheaper cars
could be bought at 5000 to $500
less than the Super-Six, no two
of them had sales equal to other
cars. 1t is easy to imagine how
much more popular it will be
now that there is no such price
advantage. The Hudson Super
Six has made itself the wanted
car as compared with others.
1t is the largest selling fine

GIVES U. S. CONTROL OF CAR
MOVEMENTS.

Washington.-The house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce has
made a unanimous report in favor of
bill that gives the government supreme
control in the matter of emergency rail-
road traffic. The interstate commerce
commission is empowered to suspend,
either upon complaint or upon its own
initiative without complaint, the opera
ton of any rules of railroads regarding
the movement of freight cars, and it is
authorized to make any rules it sees fit.
The proposed law would practically take
from the hands of railroad managers the
movement of cars, and is indorsed by
the interstate commerce commission,
state railroad commissions and various
industrial and shipping organizations.
In its report on the bill the house
committee said some of the reasons for
the remarkable car shortage in the past
few months was the lack of adequate
terminal and yard facilities, lack of cars
and motive power, holding cars for
speculative purposes and lack of ocean
carrying space

REFUSE WAGE INCREASES;

Hartford, Conn.-Union metal polish
ers are wagng vigorous strike against
the Colt Patent Fire Arms company,
which forced these employees on strike
September s, 1915, because they asked
that wages be increased cents an hour
with time and one-half for overtime.
The polishers made every attempt to adj
just differences, but the company de-
clared it "was not in a position to grant
the demands, as they were very unrea-
sonable."
Last year, according to its financial
report just issued, the company made
profit of 259 per cent, or $6,345,731, and
