however the tailored suit with slight
characterization is the more striking cos
tune. it has more distinction.
Capes suit her figure. They have
some thing of the viking air. There is
something of the ancient NEUROLOGICAL
drapery about their swirling folds. The
short, slender girl cannot carry off the
double cape with it's cross-bar effect,
which is the lattice work of the early
eighteenth century, but the large one
can be unafraid.
Another trick that is within the power
of this type and is denied the small
figure is the subdivision Of the long
sweep from waist to hem by ornamen-
tation. Nothing can jut out from the
large figure, but much can be laid fatty
on it. Ten frills, if they are soft, can
be placed on the skirt and make little
difference to the stature, and bands of
openwork and drawnwork can be run
about the skirt. making little tracks on
the surface without harming the effect.
Garands of flowers are permissible
Ropes of them can be swung across the
skirt or the bodice, although it Is not
wise to muddle the long free sweep of
the torso. Let the skirt carry the bur-
den of applied trimming.
Medieval severity Is her chance to
show off the muscular neck She may
imagine that she can wear the high
collar, the black stock, the high turn

Black was once taboo for the young,
but now it is worn with it's string Of

cry inducement has been extended to

Overman expressed himself as con-
WINGED in the belief that a full expla-
nation of the Governments plan
would bring each soldier and sailor
back onto the Governments rolls"
Life insurance without agents was
first put into successful operation in
the United States by the Postal Life,
with regards to which Senator Over
man enlightened the Senate. Will
liam R. Malone, it's president, was at
one time an agent for the New York
Life Insurance Company. In 1905 he
started in to back up his conviction
that life insurance could be written
without agents, thereby saving inn
mense sums to the policyholders.
Today the Company is quartered in
its own building, which is one of the
finest to be found in New York City.
Under the guidance of Mr.. Malone
this company has achieved a mont
mental success as a private enter
prise, along the lines which the Gov
eminent has tried to initiate. The
great difference is that the privately
operated company has satisfied poll
cyholders, while there are something
like 100000 "sore policy holdersn in
the Government concern. 1t seems
to be REPETITION of the same class of

The shops were put on an eight-hour
schedule. This cut the output an dbl
tional Is per cent, so that the output
per man per hour in our shops is but
so per cent of what it was before the
war"
This is a concrete case, and it
seems to verify the statement that
the railroads with immensely increas-
ed numbers of employees have not
been carrying on a larger volume of
business than under the days of pri-
vately controlled railroads. Mr.. Mer-
edith can do no better work in Wash
ington than to help debate things in
the interests of the farmers. For he
knows that the men who till the soil,
and who have stuck by their jobs
while farm help has been f1ocking to
the city, lured, as farmer has put it
to the Government, by "the promise
of good time" deserve every consid-
Grafton that the United States can ex-
tend to the basic industry which rails
es the food for humanity. But Mr..
Meredith is apt to be shocked at the
number of men in his own Depart
ment who are not unlike other Govern
ment employees, since they are eager
champions of the policy that Mr..
Gompers and others have attempted
to popularize to the detriment of in
dustry, since "short hours, high wages
and a good time" do not furnish the
remedy for the ills and evils in social
and industrial life that are crying for
a cure

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
(By j. E. Jones
The Doctrine of Good Will

In the Senate recently there was a
sort of post-mortem on the Daylight
Saving Law, and through statements
that were introduced into the Con-
gressional Record it is plain that the
commonly repeated charges against
the lighting interests" that they
were actively opposed to the daylight
saving law, cannot be sustained, Sen
ator William NJ. Calder of New York
stated that he had Investigated and
found no evidence to warrant the ac-
cusation that the gas companies of
the country had been spreading pro-
poganda among the farmers. More
directly bearing upon ire subject is
the letter of Oscar H. Fogg, Secre-
tary- Manager of the American Gas
Association, to Senator Calder, in
which he says that "the effect of the
daylight saving law upon gas compa-
MES has been So negligible as to be
unworthy of consideration, and in
several large situations which the
writer personally examined, the diff
ference in sale of gas, due to daylight
saving, was so small that it could
not even be definitely established"
Incident to this subject an electric
light man at Denver has produced a
classic that should be framed and
hung in the offic of every Mayor, on
the walls of all City Council Chambers
and everywhere about the operating
establishments of public utilities, since
the sentence in a few words defines
with absolute correctness the ideal
relations that should exist in every
locality. Says the Illuminating Bard
of Denver:
can electric light company may
lose q little temporary revenue, but
the prosperity of any utility corpora
ton is dependent upon the prosperity
and good will of the community it
serves, and it will benefit in the long
run from any condition that helps the
community.

Overhead Costs

A new member has come into the
Presidents Cabinet, and in assuming
his portfolio in the Agricultural De-
partment Mr. Edwin T. Meredith, the
Iowa farm paper editor, has expound-
ed some very good philosophy to the
effect that business men must look
to the operation of their establish
ments, no matter in what line they
may be engaged, and see that no use
less employee is retained to add to the
cost of distributing what the farmer
now produces"
Mr.. Meredith starts well, and if he
continues he may prune down the use
less employees" of the Department
of Agriculture, of which he is the
head. He is likely, if he investigates
to find that the common talk in Wash
ington that there are 10000 too many
Government clerks in the Capital, is
an entirely conservative estimate, and
it would be very strange if some of
these were not loafing in his Depart
ment. Thousands Of war workers
have become mere parasites upon
the Government, and attempts to get
rid of them usually result in their
transfer from one branch of the pub
lie business to another. The "politi-
cal pull" is working overtime.
Overhead costs in distributing
"what the farmer now produces
might likely be cut in the matter of

telegraph and telepac;.s lines.
Notwithstanding this condition there
is every reason to believe that the
War Risk Insurance can still be pull
ed through" This belief rests large
ly upon the fact that the plan is ba-
sically correct, as has been pointed out
by Senator Overman. And in every
community there shouli be butt up
a strong local sentiment in favor of
bringing the former service men
back into the fold.
