would be taught how easy it was to
make some real money and wear the
finest of clothes at no cost.
Miss Flowers was not arrested for
shoplifting, but was caught while ''tu-

FRoCKS OF COTTON
Fabric Promises to Suppiant the
More Expensive Materials.
Beautifully Figured voiles Rival Flow
cred Silk Georgettes; Swiss and
Organdies Are Good.

And now the word comes from Paris
that skirts are to be slightly longer,
no fuller but with an additional length
of an inch or so. it Is said. At this
rate the American woman will have
hard work TO keep her skirt length
regulated TO suit the whims Of Paris.
Fortunately the distance Of the bot
tom of the skirt from the floor Is not
such an important matter after all,
the woman of good taste wearing them
at whatever length is most becoming
to her.
Next season will probably be one of
cotton, as silk has advanced SO In price
that Ii is almost out Of reach. This
fabric. which in it's raw state Is sold
by the pound, used TO be wholesale In
pre-war days at $3.50 to $3.50 pound.
Now the same quantity brings $50.
OF course, if cotton, which is already
high enough in price, Is featured as
the correct material for summer
frocks, some horrid weevil In all prob
ability will attack the cotton boil. and
the cost of thin material will advance
also. AS it is. beautifully figured voiles
are offered which rival the fl0wered
silk geOrgettes. Dotted swiss. II is
said, will also be good as well as plain
and figured organdies.
A new style blouse is shown by some
of the shops which has caused quite
q good deal of comment as to whether
1t is a frock or a waist. 1t is in one
piece and falls TO the bottom of the
skirt, its beauty lying in the material
employed in its development and the
embroidery with which Ii is trimmed.
The lcng-ago waist of Irish crochet
has hecn revived this season. 1t is
usually fashioned in the short peplum
style.
In nec',wear lace plays an impor-
tant part. Irish crochet, tinted or In

WHEN SEWING FOR CHILDREN
Let the YOUNGSTERS Help Choose
Colors and Styles for Their
Clothes.

Children's styles change so slightly
thar trying to give advice 10 the moth
er @ho is planning sewing session is
rather a difficult task. The best all
vice. really. is to s.udy the figure and
general style of the child for whom
a dress is Intended and make il just
as becoming TO her particular type as
il can be made
The guimpe dress is n perennial fa-
vorite and il is one of the most SenSi-
BILE, as several separate waists of
white and different colored material
may be made 10 go with each dress
at comparatively ti.i1ing expense.
One lesson that mothers of small
daughters are learning is 10 permit
the child to take an active part iE de
termining the color and general style
of her own clothes. Time was when
children were given no voice in this all
important matter Their clothes were
selected for them and their part was
merely to wear those clothes. A child
may be made genuinely unhappy by be-
ing compelled to wear dress or hat
that she does not like and does not
consider becoming. and certainly il
is not too much to give reasonable con
SideratiOn TO their preferences.
i Allowing the little girl to have a
voice in the selection of her ward
robe trains and educateS her taste in
dress for years that are ahead and, as
every one knows, being well and suit
ably dressed is big business and so

Unions Innistcnt.

Heads Of all the railway unions, who
have engineered the rail workers
wage battle ever since il became an
acute issue last August, went into
the sessions today prepared, what
ever the mode Of procedure agreed
upon, to fight stubbornly for the ac-
Quiescence by the executives in the
pending demands. Their attitude Is
not that OF antagonism, but rather
one Of Arm insistence upon what they
deem to be their rights. They indi-
Gated clearly at the outset they have
not deviated one inch from the course
MAPPED out in the stirring parleys Of d
few weeks ago.
Railway executives. though not con-
ceding the demands OF the workers in
their entirety. are said to favor ad-
vances in wages to some groups now
admittedly underpaid. They all agree
that the wage question must be set
tied and settled quickly. in order
that the railroads may proceed with
their plans for capital expenditures.
These calculations cannot be fig
ured and betterments, long delayed.
cannot be undertaken. the executives
stated, until the amount OF capital
expenditures is determined, through
probable payroll expenditures. The
payrolls of the railroads. together
with fuel costs. constitute the largest
percentage OF outlay for operation.
Spirit Of Cooperation.
1t was evident that the executives
will cooperate actively in reaching
solution OF the wage controversy.
Many Of the executives were out
spoken in their belief that the wage
demands should be adjusted with the
least possible delay.
These far-sighted men OF big bust
ness are eager to hurry along the
present negotiations. in order to ex-
pedite the program of the railroads.
which contemplates appeals to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
authority to raise freight rates. Coun-
sci for the roads are ready to prose-
cute these appeals as soon as the wage
fight is definitely settled. These APP
peals can scarcely be put forward
until the roads know how much moro
money they will actually need to
operate the properties at fair re-
turn OF profit.
II protracted delays are met in or

mittee would transfer the negotia-

RAIL MEN GATHER
FOR WAGE FARLEY
Bipartisan Committee Holds
First Session on Demands of
100000 Workers.

The bipartisan railway labor wage
committee, composed OF representa-
tiyes OF fifteen railway, unions and
almost an equal number of railway
executives today took up anew the
wage demands OF 1000, 900 railroad
workers, at the first formal session
since the act creating II passed Con-
gTess. Walker ID. Hines. former d.
rector OF railroads, called the mem
bers OF the joint committees together
at IL o'clock. for a lengthy session
devoted to the shaping OF methods
for future procedure.
Effect Organization.
The wage problem was not subject
ed to analysis by the bipartisan
committee at todays session. Chair
man Hines, soon after the commit
teemen assembled. explained their
functions under the newly framed
provisions OF the railroad reorgani-
zation bill. Mr.. Hines digressed
from the informal discussion OF the
probable mode OF procedure to in
dictate his hope both to the union men
and the executives that speedy
adjustment Of pending wage claims
may obviate the necessity OF transfer
ing the dispute to a higher tribunal.
Practically the entire discussion
dwelt upon preliminaries of organi-
zation and details relating TO pro-
cedure at future meetings. 1t was
unlikely that any agreement upon
these details could be reached before
tomorrow. Mr.. Hines considered II
probable that the bipartisan comit-
tees might extend its initial sessions
into several days before getting down
to a working basis.
