MAKE LONG DEFENCE

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia lengthy
defence OF the Government program
for the nationalizailu the telegraph
and telephone systei is made by
Postmaster Burleson IN letter to
Representative Moon (penn.) chairman
OF the House Posto1ice Committee ana
nominal author Of the resolution to
provide Government ownership Of the
wire systems. one paragraph SAID.
The information acquired through
Federal control Of the telegraph and
telephone systems since August 1 last
enables me to assure you that the en-
tire wire system can be acquired with
out requiring The appropriation Of .
dollar from the public treasury and
that through the saving by the elimi-
nation OF the Implications in plants
and operating expenses, the entire tele-
graph and telephone systems Of the
country can be paid for through an
amortization fund in twenty-five years
without Increasing the rates TO the
public and at the same time develop
a national wire system available for
the use Of every community in the
country coextensiye with the present
postal system"
The economic Importance Of acquir-
ing the wire properties according to
Mr. Burleson is great. Private capital
IS invested in public service enterprises
with the expectation Of : or per
cent. and often a create ~ci'
The investment" he wrote. This. Of
course, the public Is UAr,.e-.
while the Government can borrow
money at i-2 per cent. The public.
however, pays the charge in either
event. The difference between ! i-2
and per cent. for the money invested
in the wire systems Of the country
would maintain and pay for the prop
erty in eighteen years and nine
months"
Mr.. Burleson asserted that the same
principle which justines Government
ownership Of the postal system applies
equally TO wire systems.
TO establish and maintain means Of
communication" he added, lis as much
the function Of the Government as is
the provision foSnational defence. An
established and widely extended means
OF communication is in fact a part Of
the national defence. Moreover, IL is
essential to the development Of the
country and the progress and pros
perity Of IFS people. II is a defence Of
the national interest as much in peace
as in war"
Private ownership of the wire sys-
TENS has restricted operation TO areas
profitable 10 the owners, Mr.. Burleson
contends. The competition Is that Of
pursuit Of profits and not rivalry for
public benefit or gain. On the basis Of

No matter what else in the way Of
wraps is offered for midsummer, we
are always sure of the taffeta coat.
1t Is so practical and so pretty that
1t cannot be banished entirely-it
comes along as inevitably as the
Fourth of July or the bathing suit.
Here 1t is as interpreted for this sum-
mer In taffeta, with landings of vel
vet. 1t is as graceful and easy as the
popular cape and at least as little
trouble to manage.
In cOlors these silk coats are best
In dark shades-deep blue, brown and
green proving full Of style. There is
always black, Of course, depending
upon smartness of the design to rescue
1t from being commonplace. The lus
ter Of taffeta makes it a wonderful me
dunn for colOrs.
Very much less familiar are new
summer coats Of wool velOurs and silk
jersey and of silk jersey with big sat

in collars. In the combinations Of silk
and wool the body Of the coat-that
portion about the shoulder and sleeve
is of the silk often extended below
the waist, forming a long waist effect.
Collars are ample-are of the
velOurs and cuffs to match them. Those
who are looking for something new
might consider the silk jersey or wool
and jersey combinations.
Pongee, like taffeta, we have always
with us in aristocratic coats. They
are among those present this year.
Very handsome models are entirely Of
pOngee and others of pOngee and black
satin, the satin used in collars and
cuffs and in wide borders at the bot
tom Of the garment. Very handsome
long capes of black satin lined with
colored satin have scored a success,
and some very dressy capes are in
light cOlOrS finished with deep silk
J fringes.

Shades Are Interesting.

It is interesting to note the different
effects materials have in the various
shades. Brilliant, clear colors are good
looking for dull materials. By a dull
material is meant one which does not
show up in the high lights. Reds and
bright blues look we'll, for instance, in
crepe or homespun, and have total
ly different effect when matched ex-
actly in the same shade of satin OF
velvet. Quite the reverse is the case
with browns or blacks, for satin OF

these colors from looking dull and
