the advent of state roads demanded by the general use of automobiles. and tho state supervision of schools. etc. expenses crept up. and the high prices caused by the war sent those expenses soaring faster than we realized. and we were getting deeper into debt at a very rapid rate. This new law is de- signed to put stop to that. It says that we must raise enough money each year to cover the budget. and if there is a deficit at the end of any years business that deficit must be carried forward to the next budget. Whatever the assets of a town are we must pay interest on all the money we borrow, and if that sum is large the amount paid for interest eats quite hole in our working capital. Time to look these things sauarely in the face. The selling price of all kinds of prep erty has advanced with other things and should be taxed higher. Grand lists of towns should be lifted by as- sessors so that the rate can be kept within bounds sounds better. State aid for this. that and the other thing sounds fine but who is the state and where does it get the money to aid with?

 Long hNred furs. like monkey and gray hare, are preferred for trim ming.
 This trimnains is usualIy applied to wide brinnmed shapes and no other ornament is employed.
 The nl4ia eollarIess neekline is very fashionah hIe for thase te whom it is becoming.
 Black satin frecks are in such tre- mendous favor that one sees them on every hand.
 The party froek may be of satin, strips of ermine-
 Plaids are most in vegue in separate skirts and are usually made up in p1eated styles.
 4 tafreta hat, stitched in gold. is one of fa$hiQn's latest uhims. Yarn embrQideries on tanetaS arc also winning much favor.
 Coming bleuses have got their in= Apiration from the orient. Rich me tallic embroiaeries in colers that suggest the far east are what the newest blouSes sheW.
 Llama, siivertones and heavy serxes arc among the popular fabrics used for suits this year.
 Bead frogs are q novelty that forms an interesting trimming for chiffon and other sheer fabrics. They are frogs of the regulation shape, formed of beads strung and sewed into place.
 More and more use of lace. both as a trimming and in combination as fabric, is noted. The all lace dress, blouse and hat are here but the big gest acceptance is of models of lace and georgette. or of lace and net or lace and voile.

SECRETARY SONS JOB.

 T. IS no small undertaking in view of the demands that have been made but 1t is highly important that the strike should not take place. This is the wrong season of the year for t coal shortage. and in fact any season is when 1t comes 10 cutting off the fuel for the industries of tine country. But nothing more unreasona ble in the way of labor demands have been put forth than those that are the product of the eoaI miners.
 The miners of course represent a sonsidera ble mum Der oi men and it would take some time to get others to take their places so that production would not be badly interrupted, but it can hardly be expected that if a strike does take place that the operati ton of the mines cannot be attempteda It is bad enough under existing conditions with tine price of ceal where it is that there should be presented a de- rnand for so Fer cent. increase in wages, but when they pile on top of that the insistcnce that they shall not work but six hours a day and only five days 2 week after getting this 50 per cent. increase it is going SO far beyond the limit that even they, 50 it would seem. could hardly ex- pect to get it.
 Secretary Wilson may be able to settle the matter and there is cer- tainly need that it be settled if such a thing Is possible. He has no easy job.
