Ice, as 1t then was. The union thus be-
came, as 1t were, q g~uarantor against MILL
tary service-not Of course officially, but
by The very fact that 1t had accepted SO
many new members. The less responsible
of these workers are now trying to en-
force their privilege. They insist upon
being regarded as Indispensable, and they
dislike anything which limits their mo-
bility. Leaving certificates were there
fore abolished, but since then there has
arisen what has been called the embargo,
which, as described here, apportions to
each manufacturing concern the number
of men essential to its war output. The
engineers do not like this, apparently be-
cause II revives the leaving certificates in
another form.
The answer of the government is simple.
The right to strike is not denied. Blu the
strikers are told that in so far as they
cease work they cannot be regarded as
essential, which means that they become
liable to military service. One personal
factor should be noted. Winston Church.

NEW SKIRT AND HAT SETS
Figured Chiffon and Ribbon Are e.

Latest Creations.

We run to sets of clothes nova
days. We have sets consisting Of
muff, hat and collar; Of collar, hat
and knitting bag; of parasol, knit

parasol. We have sets consisting Of
almost any two or three of the
garments or accessories that go to
make up our daily quota of dress.
And now some of the little spe-
cialty shops that go in for the new
est things are showing sets consist

Is made Of figured chiffon and wide
ribbon. The ribbon is bright green,
and the chiffon is bright green and
dull gray, with fecks Of yellow and
touches of black. The skirt consists
of wide strips of chiffon-six inches
wide perhaps-between equal widths

some kind. Even II the world is re-
duced to whole garments Of sewn fig
leaves, there. is no reason why any one
woman should wish herself out of the
picture. Let her go along with the
momentum of the hour and buy and
wear garments of fig leaves.
The public is beginning to see the
wisdom of buying a small amount at
the moment 1t is needed. 1t should be
preached in every possible form of
propaganda that this Is the wise way
to live during war time. Rest assured
that If the public buys up all the stock
Of one thing from a store, that store
will be replenished the moment its sup
ply is exhausted.
OF course, there are women who al
ways demand quality. They prefer to
have badly cut gown, made in a past
fashion, IL they are sure that every
thread is silk or wool, as the case may
be. But the majority Of women are
not inclined toward accepting that sys-
TEN Of dress.
Therefore, let us start out In new
measure Of reform, rs soon as this
month is over, and face September
with no Idea of rushing into shops and
buying everything that is offered be-
cause 1t is labeled New" Maybe it is,
and maybe 1t isn't. But feeling of
panic among buyers that now Is the
only chance to get enough clothes to

In the very thing that the government
desires most to see avoided-reckless
spending of money. So buy shrewdly
and not for boarding.
If there Is to be economy in clothes,
let 1t begin this week. 1t Is at this
time, between the seasons that wom-
an can take thought of her wardrobe
and twist and turn It according to pre-
vailing fashion, In a way that will serve
her until styles are mere settled. Then,
when she has to buy much, she will
buy wisely and well.
Help In Remodeline Clothes.
Here are some prophecies that may
help you to be economical and wise.
One of them sounds like the first aid
to an injured wardrobe. 1t comes d.
rect from Paris. 1t is that checks,

Can you imagine any piece Of news
more gratefully received than that
which gives woman chance to make

MAINTENANCE is A PROBLEM
Under Constant Flow Of Heavy Traffic
Main Trunk Lines Have Been
Badly Broken Up.

Following the extension of the use
of motortrucks for overland travel in
the endeavor to relieve the railroads
of the burden Of strenuous wartime
traffic, under which they have been
laboring, 1t Is but natural that the
question Of highway maintenance
should come up for attention at this
time.
1t is now conceded that much has
been done through the use of motor
propelled vehicles over the through
connected highways of the country
for the purposes mentioned above.
Literally thousands of heavy motor
trucks are now upon the road, mate.
rally speeding up the delivery Of war
time necessities. The Lincoln high
way, particularly In the Eastern states,
has proved its high value over and
over again; other trunk highways have
also been called upon to carry an ex-
ceptional burden of this freight traffic.
This movement has all been car
ried on with the absolute approval OF
the federal government, and more,
through the activities of the highway
transport committee of the council Of
national defense, further extension
Of this use Of our public highways is
being urged.
Under this constant flow of traffic
the Lincoln highway. and certain other
roads In the East, are rapidly break
ing down, the road surface rapidly dis
integrating under the pressure of the
driving wheels Of the massive trucks.
Up to the time when truck trains were
started over the roads, the Lincoln
highway in its entirety across the
state of Pennsylvania, was veritable
boulevard; its surface was, in the
main, macadam: the road was the
pride Of the state of Pennsylvania ;
large sums were expended in its care

state, and the highway well served its
purpose In carrying local and tourist
traffic in relatively light vehicles. Slmi-
lar conditions applied along the Lin
coin highway in New Jersey.
The argument is advocated at this
time that, despite the inclination Of
local authorities to do everything
within their power In patriotic en-
deavor to further wartime interests,
1t is scarcely fair to expect the county
and state authorities to maintain
such main Travelled routes as the
Lincoln highway. In their pre-war con-
dition, under the heavy traffic of con-
stantly moving government vehicles.
Government aid is solicited to keep
the roads at their best.
So persistent have become COM
plants to congress that the highways
of the country have been badly dam
aged by motortruck traffic that some
members, especially those serving on
committees dealing with the nations
financial affairs, are making q thor
ough study to determine how the stu
alton can best be met. As result 1t
Is expected that congress will soon re-
ceive requests to make appropriations
running into the millions. The house
committee on ways and means has al
ready given some consideration con-
corning aid to be given the states
in road Improvement. 1t is but reason
able to expect that the federal govern
ment will take such steps as are nee
essary for an equitable apportionment
Of the burden Of expense of maintain
Ing such important routes OF travel as
the Lincoln highway.

AMSTERDAM. May 13-The Ckrai-
nian press bureau has received in
formation from Odessa. according to
which the former Dowager Empress
Maria Feodorovona and Grand Dukes
Nicholas Nicholaievitch and Alexander
Micholaievith, who had been living at
Dulbar. near Aitodor. In the Crimea, are
in the hands Of the Germans
Special dispatches from Moscow, pub
lished Saturday. reported that the
dowager empress had arrived at Kiev,
the Ukrainian capital. This news was
coupled with the statements that Gen.
Skoropadski. the new Ukrainian die
tator, had been one of the pages of
Duke Dmitri Pavlovitch, who also was
reported to be in Kiev. had taken a
prominent part in the coup d'etat by
which the Ckrainian rada was over
thrown and dictatorship established.
The ex-dowager empress is Il Dane
by birth. She had been. living in the
Crimea in straitened circumstances
since the Russian revolution.
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch
is the former COMMUNICATIVE chief of
the Russian armies, and regarded as
the greatest of Russia's military lead
ers He joined in the general abdica-
tion of the RomanOffs, and since is be-
lieved to have been living in retirement
on his estate in the Crimea, although
there have been various reports connect
ing him with royalist plots.
Little has been heard of Granu Duke
Alexander Michaelovitch since the abdi-
cation last year. 1t is probable, how
ever. that he has been living continu-
ously In the Crimea. He is brother
in-law of the former emperor.

25 PER CENT RAIL RATE RISES
b ON ALL TRAFFIC PROPOSED
Increased Expenses Cahse Officials to Submit
Plan to Director McAdoo and Decision
Expected in Six Weeks.

Officials of the railroad administra-
ton have made estimates which fndi-
cate an increase Of at least 25 per cent
in freight and passenger rates to be
necessary to meet increased costs Of
fuel, wages, equipment and other oper-
ating expenses. These expenses are
from $500. 100000 to s750.ooo.ooo more
than last year.
A recommendation has been made to
Secretary McAdoo that rates be in
creased by about the percentage named
Action is expected by him within the
next six weeks.
Increases probably will go into ef-
feet Immediately. if made. Under the
railroads act shippers will be permitted
to appeal to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Final decision will rest
with the President.
Such an increase as is proposed would
be the biggest in history of American
railways. The percentage is larger
than any ever sought by the railways
under private management, and would
apply alike to the entire country. Both
class and commodity schedules would
be affected.
Preparing New Schedules.
Rate experts of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and railroad admin
istration now are at work on new
schedules. Any increases to be ordered
will be arranged in a manner to pre-
serve rate relationships between COM
munities and regions, officials said to-
day. SO that industries and commercial
interests will be subject to the same
degree of rate competition as at pres
ent.
Passenger fares wou1d he raised nm.
der the plan suggested to about cents
a mile. from the existing general rate
OF little less than 2h cents.
ahs ed It ono Is sst
s70o0o0.000 in freight and 5000, 900. 900
in passenger revenues. This would
leave margin above the estimated in
crease in operating expenses event.
not go into effect until the year is half
over, their yield would fall several hun
dred million dollars short OF meeting
| the anticipated deficit this year.
Estimate of Expenditures.
| 1t is rougly estimated by railroad ad-
ministration officials that the roads
this year will spend between $500, 0,0OO,-
900 and s35O.0O0,0OO more for wages
than last year; between $120.000,000 and
$50. 100000 more for coal and between
cars. locomotives. rails, ties. terminal
facilities. barges for inland waterways
and other supplies and equipment.
These figures may be lowered by later
Developments, but officials who have
studied the situation closely are in
clined to believe that they are more
| likely to prove higher.
The estimate of increased wages Is
based on the probability that the di-
rector general will approve a general
scheme of higher pay for workmen, in
