Developments bearing on Sc
curity values last week were in the
main of a constructive character
and furnished the basis for sub
stantial improvement IN prices
News from the European battle
fields was the most cheering III
months. the successful drive of the
British on the Arras front furnish
ing the stock market with a stimu-
lus that resulted in a general for
ward movement throughout the
trading list. Combined with this
development was the apparent
checking of the advance of the
Teutonic allies on the Italian front,
while here at home indications Of
satisfactory settlement of differ
ences between capital and labor,
particularly in the railroad field,
gave rise to optimism. Perhaps the
most hopeful sign given by the
markets last week was the evident
slackening of liquidation of securl-
ties. Revival of confidence brought
with it cessation of the disastrous
selling that so unsettled the market
a short time ago, and with this
pressure removed the rise in prices
was accomplished with minimum
of effort. Railway stocks have not
shared equally with the industrials
in the improvement that has taken
place, but the improved outlook for
the railroads as a result Of the re-
opening of the freight rate case
and the certainty that there will
be no strike of railway employees
has tended to create better feel
ing among investors as regards the
position of the rails. But the lat
est development in the railway sit
uation-unificatio of the carriers
in Eastern territory-is likely to
cause serious unsettlement in the
market for railway shares for a
time. Obviously such a revolution
airy change cannot be made without
corresponding changes in the earn
ings of the different roads. Some
will benefit and some will suffer,
and unless measures are quickly
taken to insure fair treatment for
the shareholders, a more or less VIC
lent readjustment of prices might
easily occur Possibly the plan
adopted in England, where what
amounts to government ownership
by proxy has been in force since
early in the war, may be adopted
here. Under this plan dividends at
the pre-war rate are guaranteed.
British railway securities have
steadily declined under this plan,
but it does not follow that the same
thing would happen in this market.
Prices have fallen to point where
pre-war dividends would assure
very good returns

Government Policy Criticised

In the performance of the duty Of
price fixing and taxation Mr.. Pierson
says that Developments thus far indi-
cate that the government has not con-
sidered the plan in its largest form. In
the treatment of the beet sugar situa-
ton. however. il is pointed out that a
most effective plan has been worked
out.
Concerning the purpose Of his report
Mr.. Pierson says in conclusion:
1.-THE purpose Of this report and the
intention upon which it is based should
rot be misunderstood. In il the Ma
tional Foreign Trade Council has no in
tention of going beyond the rendering
Of service to the government and the
people which, in these times, great
body Of successful and eminently pa
triotic business men should be expected
10 render. We are not attempting TO
find fault with or criticise tho govern
ment: we are DESTROYS only Of helping
in every possible way to win this war,
because IL we do not win IL 1t will not
matter particularly what else happens

PROTESTS CRITICISM
OF WOMEN WHO STILL
WEAR COSTLY ATTIRE

Notwithstanding editorial criti-
cisms of women who continue to wear
fine clothes, despite the war, Miss
Elvira Spina has protested to the edi,
tor Of the Giornale D'Italia in a let
ter as follows:
The simple and sad truth is that
it does not pay to be a modestly
dressed woman. Let me make a con-
fession. The woman who forces her
self to live quietly, to dress unat-
tractively, goes unobserved. The
other woman who makes an elaborate
toilette, who wears flashy clothes, is
admired, courted, loved, married.
These days husbands are scarce. So
what are we to do, how can we re-
sfst temptation? Peace time, war
time, men are the same. Change the
men and then We too will change.

 Black panne velvet and tulle, as well as Jet, have been the faorics chosen for these separate bodices which are put above Algerian skirts or satin in any of the blues, greens, reds and purples that the skin will not tolerate
 The accessories which fashion will spring upon us this month are gorgeous in coloring. All that need be said is that worsted embroidery is in high favor. Sometimes, when an artist wants to get
 a bit of brilliant color into an, other

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened. glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull. faded or streaked appea rance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this old time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients. all ready to use. for about 50 cents, This simple mixture can De depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.

 Entire evening bodices that extend high as the back and are cut square in front. are made of tulle covered with col ored crystals. In these bodices are the wide, Chinese sleeves that reach to the wrist and are held in ,y tiny cum which does not confine the entire width of the sleeve You know that trick; 1t has been in fashion for several months and Is evidently not to be relinquished for the next six months.
 THE GLITTERING BACK PANEL Doeuillett and Callot as well as some of the other important dressmakers, have accentuated the straight back panel which we once wore before we adopted the chemise frock. This panel hangs In the straight Egyptian manner from shoulders to heels ans gitters with cut jet and crystals. It is always of trans parent fabrics, but it IS never demure or without brilliant ornaments

this valuable commodity to the world of fashion.
 France has seen to it that hundreds of yards of this crystal are facetted and highly polished, then worked into bril- liant designs. There is nothing about 1t that looks like a coat of mail, and the rather trivial designs of little vines and leaves which were once fashionable, are left under the cobwebs where they were put years ago.
 For instance, the panel of black tulle and cut jet that drops like back cur tain behind the figure of woman in a black evening gown, Is sumptuously trimmed with jet roses or great Egyp- tain figures that hold tho panel in place by sheer weight of material used. Bodices of cut white Jet in daring and striking designs on white tulle or even on hydranEea blue tulic, which is one of the dominant shades of tho hour for the evening, arc worn with skirts of black, flame red or white satin. There arc Grecian gowns from Jenny, that have all their borders in a wall of Troy design in white jet
 There are pink satin Algerian skirts without that ruffle of lace which once adorned that kind Of garment. which have bodices of rose colored Jet that looks like the rose quartz which France used to such extent for toilet articles half dozen years ago.

 It is quite true that the designers in Paris will also mingle opposing colors through the use of double faced mate rials. but they are evidently determined color scheme in dress by using primitive embroidery against a somber surface.
 COLORED CRYSTALS USED
 In the new gowns that we will wear. there will be as much colored crystal work as colored worsteo embroidery. It looks as though the crystals will be giv- on over the evening costumery and the worsteds to tho street clothes Only 8 few of the French drossmakers have put sequins on clothes, but each and all have taken up colored bead work with enthusiasm and exploited 1t with all the frankness of vivid colors that is a part of the American Indian as well as his southern ancestors.
 Lanvin, for example. makes black satin gown for informal evening wear that Is nothing but scries of straight, primitive panels falling over a slim, tight. transparent skirt of periwinkle blue chiffon. The eoges of this skirt are beaded and fringed with periwinkle crystals, in the fashion with which Americans are peculiarly familiar.

It is often said that the fashion ex- perts dwell too much upon line and ma- terial and are given to ignoring the ex- traordinary value of colors.
 The charge is true. At least. the truth of 1t predominates the majority of dressmaking houses and Is present in the majority of women's minds Color is in reality so vastly important that it should rule every department of dress There are colorists who overestlmate it's value to women, and they are the ones who actually frighten the majority into conservatism that orten borders on ugliness.
 The trouble with the artists lies In the fact that they do not seem to have any tenderness or courtesy toward the coloring of the woman who is to wear the garment They assimilate and put into juxtaposition colors trat have ex- traordinary beauty in themselves but when they are placed next to the hu- nature has done. This is glorifying the artist at the expense of the woman in a way that Is not fair.
