is using all the bright colors that She
can, and if these colors are not incor-
porated in hat or frock they surely
appear in accessories Of dress-in um-
brellas, in neckwear bows, in bags and
so on.
One thing is evident in all the new
handbags; the string or ribbon handle
run through a shirred casing is en-
tiroly out. All the best bags have
frames and very gorgeous are some Of
these frames; especially on the bags
intended for use with dress-up frocks
There are carved metal frames and
frames Of imitation ivory. of shell and
amber and of silver Many Of the metal
frames are heavily incrusted with bril-
liants or with colored stones, and shell
and ivory frames have beautiful lnlays
Of silver or gold. The pierced frame
is still used though it is not quite as
distinguished as the unpiorced frame;
and the reason for this is apparent;
anybody can make a bag with enough
silk and pierced frame-it is so
easy TO sew bag to frame. But the
unpierced frame has to be mounted
on the fabric by a jeweler and natural

therefore more distinctive.

There was very little trapping Of

and, of course Russia was out of it, as
far as fur exports went Labor for
preparing furs for the market has
been scarce as in all other lines Of
business; and the difficulty and often
the impossibility of shipping furs has
added to the bad situation. But now

the day with all newspapers large or small. In
San Fransco Sunday papers are selling for ten
cents per copy and no questions asked.
The price of eggs has raised, the price of
meat has raised and the price of all farm pro-
ducts double and treble what they were in 1914
and wages of necessity have followed suit. No
one can complain at the modest increase asked on
the subscription price of the country weekly. No
politicians raise their voices in protest nor do we
hear of workmen wrecking the newspaper plants
as demonstration against the increase as was
recently done in Toledo when high paid sipwork-
ers wrecked the street cars because the company
had been granted permission to increase rates
from five to six cents.
The newspaper, the farmer, the automobile
manufacturer and the wage Garner can increase
the price of their wares to suit themselves or all
the traffic will bear.
But public utilities companies water, light
gas, telephone, street railway, etc., must stand
all these raises in cost of printing, materials and
wages without the right to increase the cost of
their service
thoughtless public which individually has
increased the price of all commodities as the oc
casion required, collectively objects to increases
in rates for utility companies sufficient to allow
them to meet these increased costs.
During the past year over 5000 miles of
street railway track was torn up and this year
will see more as well as numerous utility compan-
les going into the hands of receivers and bankrupt
unless speedy relief is granted where the facts
justify it.
A public which individually increases the
price of all its wares as it sees fit, has no just
ground to collectively and by state regulation deny
a public utility, rates sufficiently high to meet
increased costs of operation over which the uti
ty has no control.

A bloody race war between negroes
and whites in Chicago, which has al
ready resulted in the death of more
than score of persons and the more
or less serious wounding of some hun
dreds more, is waging in the windy
city, and the assistance of soldiers
and heavy patrols Of police have been
required to maintain any semblance
of order. The affair is possibly the
worst clash between the whites and
blacks that has occurred in recent
years. AS a result Of the fighting
there is heavy exodus of blacks to
other parts of the country. And this
reminds us that here is another fire
that is smouldering on the North
American continent, and threatening
to erupt and do untold damage at any
time.

FOREST FIRES

The camping season is on. The
greatest possible care should be taken
by campers not to build large fires
and to see that any they do build are
thoroughly extinguished before they
leave them. Also to avoid throwing
cigar or cigarette ends about. Fire
is very dangerous thing in the forest.
A big bonfire in front of the camp at
night is pretty sight but little
twig red hot and carried on the wind
may start forest fire.

Eddie Plank. one of the greatest
left-handed pitchers Of all time, will
not play with the Yankees this year.
He returned his contract unsigned,
with a letter saying that no amount
Of money would induce him to change
his mind. He has retired for all time
from professional baseball.

The man who helped make the
Philadelphia Athletics famous several
years ago was traded to New York
by the st. Louis Browns q year ago
with Derrill Pratt for Fritz Maisell,
Leslie Nunamaker, Nick Cullop and a
few others, but he never reported.
Miller Higgins had hopes that he
would change his mind this year, and
sent him a generous contract, but

admits he will pitch for some semi
professional team. when the weather
gets good and hot.
Not Holding Out.
Plank made 1t plain that he was not
holding out, and that he rad no fault
to find with the contract offered. He
simply has made up his mind to r.
tire and suggested in 4 nice way that
It would be useless for the Yankees
to offer him more money than the
contract which he returned called for.
This means the definite and flnal
passing from big league baseball Of
a player who was ever credit to
the game and a pitcher who ranked
with the greatest and best. He is 43
years Of age, and 1t is little wonder
that he has decided against taking
chance Of marfing a career which
will long be remembered In the his
tory Of the game.

Of q stern-wheeler.
There were seven more explosions,
and then they stopped, though we
could hear the rattle of 4 machine gun
