AS mothers become buster, or less in
clined to spend time in sewing, in Or
der to give it to other affairs. they
have learned to look to the specialist
to help them out with frocks and other
clothes for children. And manufac-
turers have met the growing demand
for ready-made or partly-made clothes,
by turning out examples of good de-
signing, in practical materials, that
the most gifted amateur cannot hope
to excel. Even those mothers who
prefer to have the children's clothes
made at home, look to the display Of
children's frocks made in the shops for
models to guide them. Wraps they
nearly always buy ready made.
Since the school girl must be out
fitted by the time September appears
over times horizon, dresses and wraps
for her make their entry in July.
These forerunners Of fall styles this
year show that the neat effects
that were featured In spring have
come to stay while, all because they
were SO heartily welcomed. They
mark an advance in taste and are use
full in educating the little girls them
selves to like neatness. A fine sense
of clothes Is sometimes Unborn, but

standing merit Of the frock and wrap
shown in the picture above.
The little girl at the left wears a
dress of black and white checked
wooden goods made with plated skirt
and wrap that inherits its style from
the spring season. 1t Is coat and
cape combined with buttons for orna-
ment and has small cape collar over
laid with silk. 1t will be noticed that
1t is longer than the dress (Which is
knee lengthy in the cape portion. and
that the shorter coat Is belted across
the front. There are very practical
set-in pockets on each side.
The frock of cotton poplin at the
right might be made Of chambray

or In plain woods. 1t is a pretty de,

and plated skirt. Small buttons
and a childish collar, set of by very
simple embroidered sprays, that are
repeated on the bottom Of the jacket,
reveal the ideas Of designer who has
no superiOrs. They are the signature

nevertheless, contrives to be very
dainty. The manufacturer who turned
out the two envelope chemises shown
here will not dread comparison be-
tween them and their and-made cOun-
terparts. They are just as effective and
just as durable. 1t is in little details Of
finish that the handmade garment gets
beyond the limitations of machinery
and cannot be exactly copied. The
chemise at the left Is of white silk with
a crossbar of green. There is yoke
of plain silk, also border about the
bottom and bands over the shoulders
made of it. Bows of narrow ribbon
with their hanging ends finished with
soft silk balls make fascinating and
original finishing touches.
The lovely garment at the right is
made Of pale blue satin with heavy
silk embroidery and real fillet lace to
enrich it. The empire waistline makes
it graceful. This is gathered in with
satin ribbon tied in bow with long
loops and ends. The same models are
not less beautiful or less elegant when
made of fine cotton fabrics.

yet until recent years the Austrian
power in European politics figured
chiefly as German power and took
leadership in Germany itself.
At last Prussia rose up to proclaim
German nationality. Then Austria
was thrown out from the Germanic
circle and found her true level in the
politics of Europe. In 1866 the head
ship of Germany was settled between
Austria and Prussia on the field Of
SadOwa.
This brought about the establish
ment of the dual monarchy of Austria
Hungary. Inasmuch as the Austrian
emperor's power could no longer be
based on the theory Of Austria's
ascendancy in Germany Francis Joseph
I (1S30-1916) had to submit to a re-
arrangement Of the relations Of Aus
trla and Hungary. So Francis Joseph
was crowned in 1867 emperor of Aus
tria and king Of Hungary at Budapest
the ruler Of two sovereign states,
each with its own constitution, legfsla-
tive bodies and system Of administra-
ton, but having Joint or common
ministry.
Here is why the title Of emperor
Of Austria" was an empty title, even
before the great war. Archduke was
the real title of the sovereign Of Aus
tria; he always kept it, though he also
called himself emperor" When Ma
poleOn became supreme in western Eu-
rope and dictator in Germany, it was
prepOsterOus for an Austrian arch
duke to bear titles which purported
to carry with them the rule of the
world. In 1904 Francis II, head Of
the house Of Habsburg, was emperor
of the Holy Roman empire. He ceased
to be king Of Germany and he formally
renowned his elective Office of emper-
or Of the Holy Roman empire. But he
consoled himself by assuming the IT,

Is there curse on the house of
Habsburg? During the reign of Fran

such curse. and many believed that
it was being fulfilled. Certainly the
private life of Francis Joseph was the
most tragic. Though he reigned 68

same year the Empress Elizabeth was
assassinated by an Italian anarchist.
And then came the assassination on

this assassination which formed the
pretext for plunging the whole

WASHINGTON, Sept 2-Thc Sen
ate to-day received and discussed fol
several hours bill outlining perma

bipartisan Interstate Commerce sub
committee.
Paramount among the features OF
the new measure, which will be knowr
as the Cummns bill. Senator Cum

acted as chairman of the subcommit-
tee, are provisions for termination OF
government control Of the railroads
their return to private ownership and
operation under rigid Federal control
and consolidation into regional sys-
tens, and prohibition OF strikes ano
lockouts of employees. The measure
contains none of the fundamentals OF
the Plumb plan.
Employees Are Protected
Chairman Cummins, in presenting
the bill, explained its provisions al
length. He, with Senator'S Robinson
Arkansas, and Pomerene, Ohio. Demo
cratic members tf the drafting sub
committee, laid especial stress on thc
proposal to pcnalize strikes and lock
outs, declaring the plan, although
novel, was necessary to protect the
public. The employees, the three Sen
ators explained. are protected under
the bill by a provision that theil
wages shall be fixed by government
agencies.
'Unless we nave something similar
to the committees plan put into lmme-
diate effect Chairman Cummins said

roads will be or'y a question of time
Provisions of the Bill
Salient provisions of the Cummins
bill include:
Termination of government contro
and return of the railroads to private

Establishing the interstate commerce

WASHINGTON, Sept 2-For the
first time in many months government
operation Of the railroads in ruly
showed a surplus instead of deficit.
Director General Hines announced
to-day that preliminary figures of the
months business indicated net operat-
ing income of $77 10000 After allow
ing one-twelfth Of the annual rental
due the railroad companies the net
gain is about S2,ooo,0o0. as compared
with deficit of $22,O3l 900 the pre-
ceding month. and So, 900 in Feb
ruary. The largest deficit of the year
The net loss to the government for
seven months is S29O,526,307.
In calculating the surplus, however,
no account was taken of the wage in
crease offered the shopmen and which
has not yet been accepted by them. 1t
has been estimated that the four cents
an hour advance would amount to about
$40, 100000 a year, and as it is re-
troactivc, the surplus for July may be-
come a deficit of approximately the
same amount.

Draft of the covering letter: %
The Allied and associated powers have
given most careful consideration to the
observations of the Austrian delegation
on the draft treaty of peace. The re-
ply of the Austrian delegation objects
to the draft treaty on the grounds that
in view of the dissolution of the
Austro- Hungarian monarchy Austria
ought not to be treated as an enemy
state at all and that in consequence
she ought not to be made in any special
way inheritor of possibilities in re-
gard to reparation, to which the Aus

doubtedly be liable, did it still exist.

Haly's King Ciues
Estates TO People

ROME, Sept. 2 (By The Associated
Press) king Victor Emmanuel has
decided to surrender all the crown
properties in favor of the peasants and
for national work for former soldiers.
Premier Nitti, at one of the first sit
tngs of Parliament. which is to be
opened Wednesday, will make this an
nouncement.
The crown properties of Italy are
larger than those of any other country,
since the House of Savoy inherited the
properties of the rulers of the eleven
states into which Italy was divided be-
fore the kingdom became united.
During the war the King gave over
his splendid royal palace at Caserta,
the Castel Moscali di Piedmont, for the
use of his soldiers. His intention now
is that the vast lands which he pos
scsses, virtually in every region of
Italy, shall go to the peasants who
fought in the war. while his palaces,
castles and other buildings shall be
utilized for philanthropic purposes
In addition, the King has expressed a
desire that his private patrmony be
taxed like that of any other citizen.
Thus, the Kings civil list. amounting
to about So 900, 900 yearly, will be done
away with or greatly diminished, as
the monarch used it almost entirely TO
administer the crown properties or for
charitable purposes.
Liberty Bonds-S50. 500. $500. $1,000

WASHiNGTON, Sept Deciding in
favor Of a small conference President
Wilson to-day caused it TO be known
that he would tomorrow issue invita-
tons TO fifteen representatives Of CAPT
tai, labor and agriculture to attend the
conference "of authoritative represent
ativcs Of labor and those who direct
labor" 1t was intimated that few
more invitations might be sent out
later.
The conference will meet at the
White House some time in Octobe, on
a day to be set after the President S
return from his transcontinental tour.
He will address the first session Sev-
eral members of the Cabinet including,
possibly, all the members of the Coun-
Gil of National Defence, and certainly
Secretaries Lane, Rcdtield, Houston and
Wilson, will attend the conference
No disclosure was made of the names
of those to be invited, but it was
learned that the selections have been
without formal consultations with rec
ognized organizations Of the three in
terests to be represented, as was ex-
pectcd would be the case
1t was intimatcd at American Fed
Grafton of Labor headquarters that
Judge Gary, of the Steel Corporation,
would be one of the representatives of
capital, and it was taken for granted
there that Samuel Gompers would be
the dean Of the labor delegation.
AS Mr.. Gompers has been made a
sort of special chairman of the COM
mittee that has been representing the
steel workers in the labor crisis now
threatening in that industry, it was
suggested that it was the knowledge ot
this indirect manner of bringing about
a conference that was denied by Judge
Gary that caused the executive council
Of the A. +. of L. 20 express the hope
that the difficulty would be adjusted
Judge Gary can refuse to meet a
committee from the steel workers, it
was remarked, but he would hardly re-
fuse to meet Samuel Gompers at the
White House.
In explanation of the small number
of persons invited to attend the coh-
ference,it was said o-day that it might
turn out to be a preliminary confer
ence to a larger and more authorita-
tive one that might be called by the
first.
