BOSTON. April 25.-Haye shop
girls better taste in dress than college
girls?
This momentous question is the sub
ject of a heated controversy amuns
New England college girls. 1t started
when someone (no one knows who)
declared that college girls show very
poor taste in selecting clothes, while
shop girls dress as anyone would eN-
pect college girls to do. and the ave-
rage college girl dresses as ninety
nine people out of a hundred would
expect a shop girl to dress.
President II. c. Bumpus of Tufts
College, here recently, made test
which added to the discussion, by
having 40 girls from Jackson College
choose some feminine article OF dress,
several of which were arranged on
two tables. one table No. l were
articles of unusual quality, while on
table No. were a number Of inferior
quality. The girls were told to select
an article from either table ana as
result. the majority chose highly col
ored and inferior materials, in pre-
ference to better quality ana more
subdued and conservative colors.
Another test WAS made when 20
shop girls were shown the goods and
told to choose what they themselves
would wear Not one Of them failed
to select the articles uf best qGalitN'
After the test President BumPus IN
an address said:
Here is a pathetic instance OF

Now the college girls have started
out to show the shop girls some points
in selecting articles Of feminine dress,
while the shop girls are going to Try l"

ELECTRIC STREET CAR
NEARING SCRAP HEAP
(By United Press.)

DETROIT. Mich, April 25.-The
present-day electrically driven street
car is on the way to the scrap-heap.
The forests of poles, innumerable
miles of wires and cables and power
houses are doomed.
Street railways traffic will be re-
volutionized by a new street car. mo-
tivated by a gasoline engine, all of
its own. 1t will carry its own power,
depending on no external agancy.
Cost of operation will be reduced
by about one half. Waste of power
will be eliminated. There will be no
peak load" TO worry about.
The above is in substance the be-
lief of Charles f. Sorensen, general
manager of the Ford tractor plant in
Dearborn, Mich.
Every engineer and railway mana
ger knows that the present street car
system is too imperfect to last said
Sorensen. Engineers condemn the
present street railway system every
where on the ground of expense. 1t
costs too much. Great dynamos capa-
BILE of carrying the peak loads of mo-
dern traffic are required along with
tons of costly cables. food wires and
bonds made or copper; great huilDSi
! of poles. crossarms and hangers.
Besides that the weight of the
motors compel more heavily construc-
ted cars than the traffic calls for
All this leads to street danger. the
elimination of service that lighter, but
fully as strong cars could perform
and all other inconveniences of when
car-riders complain. Then the des-
truction wrought on underground con-
duits and pipes by electrolysis is
constant source of expense and loss
that every department of public worh
knows.
Operation Cost Lower.
''The modern electric car has beer
weighed in the balance of efficiencN
and found wanting"
| Sorensen said his company was now
at work on a gasoline engine whlcr
will supplant the electric motor IT

engine" he said. will become the
standard power equipment on streee
cars because. it is cheaper. The c"s'
of operating the electric car Is -

The round collarless neck has been
very generally accepted of late, and
en- the right woman there is nothing
more distinguished locking. 1t IS
severe style, however, so the new cape
collar is welcomed with much enthu-
siasm. Cape collars are a Van Dyke
style and sho4ld always be made of
organdy, even en- silk dress, to that
they will not droop and lose their
character. The collar can be en-
broidered or braided with very fine
soutache or rat tail braid.
The scalloped edge usually is trim
med with narrow frill Of organdy
set on with machine hemsttching. A
plain hemstittched hem or plain
hem may be used. mother new and
fattering collar has the effect Of a
drarery. but is really MADE IN three
overlapping sections. This tvne of
collar is not limited to organdy, but
is very pretty in silk crepe, net or
