Adventures With q Purse

TNHERE has been sliGht coolness pe

And it has come about in this wise:
Whom Sir Peter had letter to WRITE
with nm mir Of studied careIessness' he
,ro,,d calmly take q sheet of my writing
ronor and nen his letter to its conclu-
sion. But came a day when l fooled
him for | ordered stationery with my
name upon it, and his inroads on my
writing paper ceased with the arrival
~ the new stationery. Which is fit
ting, if not entirely truthful introduc-
tion to this adventure on stationery for
men, The difference between this sta
tionpry and the regular kind is that 1t
is very much larger--a real man size
note paper, and is just the thing for his
personal letters that cannot be written
on business stationery. One shop mas
this paper in boxes Of twenty four
sheets and envelopes. II comes IN
smooth bond finish, or in linen hnish,
and the prices are 81 and $1.35 a box.
There are many times. both IN the
home or in an Office, when a woman is
working at a table or desk, that she
needs some sort Of shield for 'her
blouse. An apron may be totally unnec-
essary, or it may be that an apron may
not BE- advisable. And yet there is the
fact that ones blouse is going to be,
come soiled and mussed. But it need
not. il this adventure is read very
carefully. For it tells Of n shield
shaped very much like the bib OF an
apron, and made of sort OF rubber.
It fastens over in front of ones blouse
and affords ample protection. The cost
Of this shield is ten cents.
Then there are the rubber cuffs
they re nice if you have to have your
hands much in water after you have
put on a good dress or blouse that has
long sleeves. They tie right over the
cuffs and are of dark plaid material,
rubber. Their price, as / recall it, is
seventy five cents a pair.

SENATOR JOHNSON IN FARGO
Capacity House Greeted Presidential
Candidate Saturday Niuht.

Fargo, N. D.-Fargo gave Hiram
johnson a royal reception by crowding
the auditorium to o%vertlowing when
the senator from California wound up
his four days speaking tour in behalf
Of his candidacy in the North Dakota
presidential primaries. The senator
was in fighting trim and held his audi
ence with his rapier thrusts. He
opened with an attack on domestic
issues but spent the major part of
Ills address in justification Of the at
titude of the "strong reservationist"
senators. His picture of the obliga-
lions which America would assume
should the covenant Of the league Of
nations be adopted brought hearty
applause. -.
Launching into national problems
the senator said the first requirement
was to bring the nation back to it's
pristine principles and the reign: Of
the constitution. The var had !justi-
fled the Capitalization of power in the
president to an extent never before
accorded any monarch, but now that
we are at peace it is imperative to
take back those a%utocratic powers, he
declared. The high cost Of living was
the second problem taken up by Mr..
Johnson. He would ferret out 1.-THE
profiteer, he said, and deal with him
as with al enemy of the nation. He
suggested that if the United States
got out of "every mad adventure. in
Europe and Asia in which we were
involved either directly or through
financing European nations we would
take u step in the right direction

5000 VOLUNTEERS OFFER AID
French Railway Strike Is Considered
a Failure.

Paris.-Railroad men modified by
the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean
systems were reported in increasing
numbers Sunday night and what little
change there is in the strike situation
seems to be for the better. So far,
the general strike called on Saturday
morning may be said to be a failure,
as a number of railroad men, even
union adherents. are refusing to quit,
particularly in the provinces.
Inconvenience is being suffered by
the public and freight, service is being
dislocated, however, by the existing
strike conditions. Everywhere except
in devastated regions of northern
France, freight service has been vir-
tually abandoned. The outlook now
seems to be distinctly more hopeful
and competent circles hold the opinion
that if a suitable compromise can be
found the National Federation of Rail-
way. Men will willingly call off the
strike.
Five thousand persons have volun-
teered for service during the strike,
and two hundred ch%auffeurs have
placed themselves at the disposal of
the ministry of public works in carry
ing out the revictualing system, ac-
cOrding to The Matin.

SERVES NOTICE on LODGE
Will Not Compromise Article x Of
Peace Pact.

Washington.-The latest ultimatuln
from the group of irreconcilables in
which they served notice on Senator
Lodge, Republican leader, that if any
attempt were made to modify the arti-
Gle \ reservation, they would reserve
TO themselves liberty of action, when
consideration of the past vas resumed,
was the principal development in the
senate peace treaty imbrOglio. Their
action, it was said, was based OH the
fear that Republican leaders might
consent to some notifications Of the
reservation if unable otherwise to OBJ
tain enough Democratic votes to in
sure ratification of the treaty.
Just what course the irrecOncilables
propose to follow was not disclosed.
1t was pointed out that if the oppo-
ncnts SO chose they might easily block
action by talk until after the national
political conventions have assembled.
That, in turn. ii was thought, would
throw the whole question of the treaty
into the next campaign.

Court Holds United States Steel
Corporation Is Good"
Trust.
NO CAUSE FOR ACTION
Governments Long Fight for Disso.
luton of Steel Concern for Al
legged Violation Of Sherman
Antitrust Laws, Ended.

Washington.-In IL four to three
decision Monday the supreme court
refused to dissolve the United States
Steel corporation and it's numerous
subsidiaries.
The governments long fought suit
for dissolution of the iron and steel
trade combination for alleged viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust laws
was dismissed.
Placing the high courts 20. X" on
the steel corporation were Chief JUS
tice White and Associate Justice
McKenna, who announced the major
ity opinion, and Holmes and Van
Devanter. Justice Day gave the dis
senting opinion, which was Joined by
Justices Pitney and Clarke. Justices
McReynolds and Brandeis took no
part. Primarily, the decree officially
brands the steel corporation as a
good" combination.
Further, the court held that mere
size, bigness or prepOnderance in in
dustry of corporate combinations is
not alone sufficient cause for their
dissolution.
The court also gave a new and far
reaching judicial Interpretation or
application Of the Sherman law, analo-
gous to it's famous "rule of reason" in
the Standard Oil and Tobacco 'trust"
cases, by declaring that public interest
must be considered in applying the
law. The public interest, it vas held,
would not be served and might be
injured by dissolving the concern.
Dissolution of the corporation and
its principal subsidiaries was urged
in the spirited dissenting opinion.
The minority declared that the anti
trust law was violated in its %organiza-
ton, that there has been "open,
notorious and continued violation" of
its provisions, and that approval of
illegally born combinations "would
practically annul the Sherman law by
judicial decree"

The properties were returned leav-

$715, 100000 for it's 26 months of opera

large, federal operation has cost the
public considerably less under the

Hines declared.
Mr.. Hines said he believed that the
nation. and railroads as we'll, gained

Hines said the rail lines were in a

that exceptionally large transportation
service has been performed in the

Of congestion; it met the unprece-
denied coal strike in a way which
private control could not have done,
and absorbed a heavy financial loss
on that account which would have
proved highly disturbing to private
control; it provided more additions
and betterments and equipment than
private control could have provided

of wartime; it dealt fairly With labor
