 Of late years we have got away from this way of adding trimming to clothes and hats and although at first thought it might seem that the homo dressniaker's task was thereby i;ehtened, il has not alWaYs worked that way.

 If you arc sure that you tan achie1f' beauty and distinction of line in the dresses you attempt to :lldl<e at home then don't have any trimming. But ii you are less sure of your skill make the best use of the few trimmings that are still permitted.

 Just across the hallway from the quarters of ;ne Lieutenant on the sec ond floor of the castle, Count and Countess von Waiderdori have been allowed to remain by courtesy of army officers. But the Germans keep to themselves, looking upon the Amerf- cans as invaders. and all army anti fraternizatioh order prohibits Lieuten- ant Scott from visiting tEem.

RAISING COAL PRICES,

More than the people of Pennsylva- mia will be interested in the action of Governor Sproul of that state in in- quiring Of the attorney general wheth- CT the state has the authority to in- vestigate the reasons for the advance in coal prices by producing compan- ies. War conditions, inability to meet the demands and other reasons have been given for the boosting of the price of coal for the past two years, but the governor is not the only one who cannot understand why it is that some of the mines are on short time and thus not producing all that is nssible and vet 1t is announced that there will be no spring reduction but on tho other hand prices will begin to rise at the rate of ten cents q month commencing the first of May.
 There is nothing in which the con :. suner IS much more interested than fuel. It has not only commanded Q high price for the past two years but it has been hard to get. There can be no question regarding the de- mand and it would naturally be sup posed that every effort would be made 10 keep up the supply instead of all lowing it to dwindle through curtail- ed operations There's no wonder that the governor of Pennsylvania looks upon 1t as action without com morciai and economical Justification CT that he is prepared to recommend to the legislature of that state that there be a commission named to in- Ncstigate the advance in prices, The attitude which is taken by Governor Sproul is one which will receive w,de- spread approval and for that reason there will he much interes; in the opinicn of the attorney general ot that state regarding inc desired in vestisation.
