VAST PUBLIC HOLDINGS

He points out that half OF the peo-
pie OF the United States are interest
ed directly or indirectly In the $17.-
900 900, 900 of securities represent
ing the railroad investment OF the
country and that one quarter Of the
savings Of thirty million people hold
ing policies In the great life insurance
companies Is invested through these
companies In railroad securities.
THAT however" he continues. SIS
only a small part Of the reason for
some arrangements which will main
tain the value of these securities.
Railroad securities are a chief basis
of credit on which depends all the
business Of the country and II that
credit be destroyed the consequence
to all American property will be in
lcalJulably disastrous"
FAvoRs STATE COMMISSIONS
In regard to federal incorporation
Mr.. Root says: There Is only one
avowed purpose which could be ac-
'complished by this plan. and that is
to withdraw the railroads entirely
from the jurisdiction OF the state
commissions. This is unnecessary
because congress has power to auth
orize the federal rate making auth
lite TO override the state commission
in respect to the rates which interfere
with the interstate commerce rates
The state commission sought not tc
be destroyed. The people along the
lines of the railroads in the several
states ought to have near their home
bodies TO which they can go for re
dress of grievances against the rail
Grads. They ought not to be compell
ed to go TO Washington for that pur
pose"

ton. The most appealing things are
made on simple lines. The material
is an important factor in the develop
ment of the frock. The illustration
of the frock for the younger girl Is
an excellent example of this. The
lines are extremely simple and there
is no trimming, but the exquisite ma
terisl is sufficiently interesting to
substitute for other attractions. The
underskirt is developed in plain sat
in and the tunic and panels of the
waist are made Of figured Georgette.
The puffs OF the sleeves are of plain
Georgette and the girdle is Of satin
ribbon.

THE BRIDE STEPS FORWARD

ANlb hhhDb oAhh = EOAsW AIM
May is the time of preparation for
the June bride. There is so much to
do. And although she has been plan
ning and preparing. there is always
some last minute touches that must
be done, The wedding gown is the
first consideration. The pure white
satin of the past is being rather for
saken for the less severe and more
flattering cream satin. II jewels are
worn they should be pearls. Pearls
have all the naive quality that is so
necessary in the bridal costume. With
one costume of cream satin, the bride
wore long rope of pearls which she
wound about her throat in quite a
unique fashion.
AS usual satin and lace are the
favorites for the bridal dress but
the other materials such as crepe de
Chine and Georgette may be used
for less formal ceremonies.
THE IMPORTANCE OF NEGLIGEE
There is perhaps no other garment
in the trousseau that is more de-
lightful to make than the negligee.
With the negligee there are no con-
ventions to be regarded and all the
longed for fancies may be expressed
in the illusice folds of the fairy like
fabrics. q
| The black and white craze seems
to have been revived for the negligee
This is trying contrast and the area
of spotting must be adjusted so 81
ito suit each individual. When care,
fully done however, 1t is hard, in
deed, TO find any combination or con
trast that will as. attractie as this

At of the Athletic Association, by the
excellence of its technique. Miss
Brady's reading of THE Travelling

dy, with busy hands and tongue,
made a fine Mrs. Abel. Roberta

manner of speech, made a hit.
Virginia Hunter showed the vigor
and dash of a woman accustomed
to throw lifes troubles out of her
way. Daisy Robson was all girl,
having a sweetheart Allen Tuggle,
who got the crowd with his imper-
sonation of one whom love had made
dumb or foolish Nell Jones played
Grandma with a quiet sureness and

MAY LOSE NIGHT MAIL

The fact that the street car will
probably be put out of business be-
cause the owners will find it too ex-
pensive to take up the rails, pay
their proportion of the asphalting
and relay heavier rails. may result
in another privilege being taken a
way from our citizens.
AT the present time the Jones HO-
tel acts as assistant postmaster To
the public. They are able to do so
because the car carries down their
man and the mail to the depot at
IL p. m. Should the street car be
put out of business, this privilege
will have to be dispensed with and
letters written later than p. m.
will have to remain over till next
morning.
What this town needs Is an or
ganlzation to handle jast such diff
ficulties but 1t does not have one
and has to muddle along as best IL
can.

A BIG CHANCE
To Get Next To A Good Thing

While we are working for good
roads our officials should not over
look the fact that Clay County has
put thru bond Issue for $3.50, 600.
which. with Federal aid, will mean
some $75O,OOO more or less.
1t will be up to us to connect
with the Manchester road and to get
the benefit of the big investment
Clay County is making. The logical
route is thru Knox County, but If
we fail to make a proper connection
and leave a long stretch of bad road,
Clay County may find it advisable
to look elsewhere for a connection
that will not leave a missing link at
the terminus of its good roads.
This matter should receive imme-
date and practical attention.
