Two of Presidents Commissions

The Presideit's $ Industrial Com mission is seriously trying to straighten out the affairs of in dustry-and every one wishes 1t success. A few blocks away. in Washington. another one of the President s commissions is trying to solve thedilemma of the street ear interests of the country. Be fore both stands out the increased cost of living. The Industrial con ference is graphing it's problems and they are so spectacular that the whole country looks on anx- lOus ly. The other commission has just as hard problems, but the in terest is far less. The street car companies are hog-tied to the Woolworth jitney, and in the whole industrial horoscope they are the only concerns that cannot break away from their unlucky stars, and increase the size of their small coins.
 The Saturday Evening Post is the sole remaining adherent of the nickel, and even though postage rates continue the same it costs one six cents to remail this publi- cation. But the Post puts dollar pegs in the advertising measure Mcnt of lines, ln,l continue. to make money. Tie tale of the street railways is that whereas they used to make cent. or a part of one, on every nickel fare. that times have so changed that every time the conductor pulls up a fare the stockholders are there by notified that it is up to them to chip in to help pay the deficit of transporting the passenger who has just parted with the nickel.
 Both Commissions are trying to perform a fine public duty hut in both instances the great problem is: Where $ the money coming from to keep the wheels turning rouud?' Strangely enough street railways can t srrNve. a,ty more than individua unless 'heor af- fairs are readjIStad to meet !he -ar order or tiings.

of peace can be won as splendidly as were those of war.
 Those who live in Washington know that it Is a wonderful place, but it is doubtful if the remedy for industrial conditions will be found there, since the 6ickers and at calamity how'rls exist in ev cry community.

The Agent Who Was Fount
 Wanting

In talk to the soldiers at the Walter Reed hospital in Washing ton Colonel R. G. Cholmeley- Jones. director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, outlined the many methods by which soldiers and sailors insurance policies with the Government, have been broad ened and strengthened and brought more around to the meth ods which furnish every kind of insurance and protection that is desired by q person taking out a policy.
 After describing the bettered conditions affecting this fine piece of work in behalf of the boys who answered the call, the Director said that insurance of ficials and the men in the insur- ance profession, had been among the most loyal of all supporters of the Government in war risk mat ! ters. There are, however, some agents who have urged men tc drop their Government insurance and take out insurance i'll private concerns. .'I feel confident. v commented the Director, that in such cases where ex-service men have been advised in such a way as to allow them to lose their Gov ernment insurance, that there will

Carter Glass, Editor

Carter Glass is making first class Secretary of the Treasury, all because he was first-class ed itor (and he still owns a daily newspaper in Virginia before he. began distributing his talents in the sphere of politics The job of following Mr. McAdoo was no mi nor undertaking, because McAdoo was always found going some. 'f But Carter Glass has some speed himself, and one of his lat est appearances in public was to talk the prosaic doctrine of thrift. and he did 1t in a way that reflect ed credit to Carter Glass, Editor, France, he said, would pay off her national debts before the United States. Germany" he added, would not only meet all of her obligatins, but would, in few years, be a chief competitor i'll the commercial marts of the world. -
 Carter Glass evidently has the right dope of Germany, since a news dispatch a few days ago told that commerce has already been resumed between Hamberg and Cuba and Mexico.

GOWNS OK,
SAYS FRENCH DESIGNER

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 22.-Bessie
Ascough, the famous designer of
gowns for readers of the Northcliffe
Journals, says a copyrighted dispatch
from London to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, answers Father Ber-
nard Vaughan's ceRsure of prevailing
women's fashions as follows:
The average woman in choosing
her dresses never thinks about men
at all. The only problem for her is:
Does 1t suit me?' Look at the dresses
In the mid-Victorian age; look how
low they were cut around the neck.
Nor do 1 think bareback frocks
ought TO be condemned. 1 have seen
ladies who have looked perfectly
lovely in those gowns: in fact. the
whole scheme was SO near perfection
that the sternest critic could not have
been shocked. 1t depends a great
deal, I'M fact, almost entirely, upon the
wearer.
"A tall, slim woman has seIec-
ton OF styles that her sisters who are
not so blessed could not hope to look
nice in. Modern fashions are not un-
seemly."
