HERBERT HOOVER said the other
day that private control Of rail
ways WAS to be given its last chance
In the United States, the inference be-
Ing that he was rather doubtful OF the
ability Of private management TO
operate the roads In way agreeable
70 the public But while the private
owners in this country are being Civ
on another chance, would it not be
wise to watch the outcome Of the ex-
pertinent In Canada, where the gov
eminent Is Just getting launched into
the railroad business The Canadian
government now owns 23.375 miles Of
road representing an investment of
more than 81 300, 900 900, and in ad-
diiion, the express and telegraph sys-
TENS and merchant marine with ~
vessels in commission and 60 under
construction. This is the greatest ex-
pertinent in government ownership Of
railroads ever attempted, and 1t is be-
ing made under conditions similar TO
those that prevail in the United
States. The people Of the United
States are thus afforded better OPP
portunity to form m intelligent opin-
Ion on the experiment, than by study
ing the systems Of government owner
ship In Europe where conditions are
very different. In Canada. as Is point
ed out In the February number Of
Engineering and Contracting" wages
are about the same as In The United |
States; its railroads cover the same
long distances; American rolling stock
and American methods Of operation
are employed; the engineers and the
business managers are very much like
those on this side the border; and its
government Is fully as efficient and
Its politics as clean as ours. Under
these conditions, then. the operation
Of the Canadian roads under govern
mcnt ownership and Of American
roads under private ownership should
be carefully compared during the next
few years. II the Canadian govern
ment does no. furnish better service
and lower costs to the public than
do our privately owned roads. there
will be no reason TO expect our gov
eminent to do better than the Can
Adian government and no reason why
bur government should take up the
experiment. on still larger scale. II ,
government ownership fails in Can
ada. there is little hepe for 1t to sue ,
iced elsewhere. II

WIRING IN EVENING FR0CKS
Arrangement Extends Hips, Used In
Simple Round Neck and in
Short Sleeves.

Evening frocks, almost In every
case, show the wired-out hips and full
lines. The wiring is usually conceal
ed by garlands of ribbon or flowers.
A jade blue gown is much ruffied
as to the skirt, and Is also wired and
trimmed with wreaths of silver flow,
ers, which are placed partly on and
partly hanging below the edge Of the
ruffies. The bodice shows no other
trimming than the silver garlands.
A lavender chiffon dress has the
simplest Of trimming, just row of
mauve velvet violets concealing the
wiring at the hips and the simple
round neck Is wired as well as finish
ed by the row of violets. Very short
sleeves are also wired In this manner.
The tunic of q frock of black taffeta
has inset at the sides two squares Of
the heaviest Of silver filet, on which
are carelessly laid garlands Of silver
flowers. This makes a striking note,
as one may imagine, for the silver
contrasts so strongly with the black.
The bodice shows just a wide band
Of the silver filet at the top, which
relieves the blackness Of the dress.
The short sleeves are. also silver.

BLACK VELVET FOR CHILDREN
Popular Fabric, Hand In Hand With
Lace, Again Favorite for the
Younoster.

Could the figure Of little Lord
talized In anything but that black vel
vet suit Of his? Suppose he had been
dressed quite sensibly In navy-blue
suit with sailor collar. suppose he had
worn brown kindergarten cloth, or gal
ateas, or serge or corduroy, In short,
anything but velvet. could Reginald
Birch-whO really has almost as much
to do with 1t as Frances HOdgson Bur
nett herself-have made Of him the
quaint little figure that has endeared
him to us for so long?
Well, perhaps the little lord was
different from some children Of today.
And doubtless for your red-blooded
young lion of boy velvet would be
out Of the question. Surely you would
have hard time getting by the scien-
tifically trained nursery governess
with anything like that these days,
for 1t Is one of the cardinal doctrines
Of the creed OF those who are versed
on child hygiene these days that their
rable and non-dust gathering. And
velvet Is none of these.
Nevertheless, velvet for children has
established Itself in the shop windows,
and from all you can see 1t is finding
an enthusiastic response in the
women.
Lace and velvet always come hand
in hand, and when fashion decreed a
return of lace 1t seemed inevitable
that velvet should come in, too. Thus,
although some of the children's frocks
and suits made with velvet are un'
adorned with lace those that are en-
joying the best favor are those that
like the immortal suit of little Lord
Fauntleroy, are trimmed with collars
and cuffs Of lace.

TRIMMING ON MILADY'S GOWN
Stencilino Is Popular and Affords In
terestino Decoration for Vari-
Gus Garments.

Coarse stencil has been used as
a household decoration to be seen on
curtains, table covers, and the like for
some time, but as trimming for the
frock its use Is quite recent. Though
Ii came into vogue in Paris short
time before the opening of the late
war, American women have only re-
Gently been approaching its vast pos
sibilities.
For vestees, blouses or panels, stem
ell may be colorfully combined with
braiding, embroidery or beading.
Thus a vestee of tan linen might he
stenciled in a design Of squares and
wine color, orange or old blue and
afterward outlined in black or In two
or more colors.
Separate motifs may be used to
trim the edges of TUNES. The same
motif might be repeated upon the
sleeve, upon the blouse and sash end.
A grape design might thus be effec
lively stenciled upon serge dress and
outlined with wool
Soutache braid may successfully be
used to outline stencil design such
as a wall of Troy or Greek key de
sign. These are used mostly for Dor
ders and are especially successful
upon the little girls frocks.
AS for the method of stenciling. the
design should be traced on stencil
board by means of sharp pencil or
stylus. Stencil board may be obtained
at any artists supply shop. A sheet
Of manila paper shellacked upon both
sides might be substituted. The stem
Gil paper should extend beyond the de
sign at least two inches in order to
avoid staining the material to be
worked upon.

CAPES FOR SPRING
Plain and Plaid. Materials Form
Garments for Sports.
May Be Made of Heavy BlanketIike
Wool or light-Colored An
CORA Cloth.

Among the very striking array OF
garments shown for sports wear this
year the golf cape combining plain
and plaid materials is one of the ia
vorites. Such wrap is shown In
the sketch. 1t may be made Of a
heavy, blanketlike wool material in
bright Scotch plaid, with vest and
collar of white or light-colored an
CORA cloth. A belt of patent leather
or of velvet ribbon matching the pre-
dominating color in the plaid may
be used to hold the cape to the figure.
A tam to match will always be found
smart or a little sport hat, such as
the one sketched, may be worn, IL
preferred.
These capes, now being worn In the
South and on the golf links of every
country club when the weather makes
golfing possible are forerunners of
a wrap that WIN be popular I'm the
spring. One such wrap recently de-
signed is made Of striking plaid
blanketlike fabric in various color
ings, finished all around with self
fringe and held In with belt OF
patent leather. 1t is as loose fitting
as q cape, but is really coat, with
clearly defined, though loose, sleeves,

FRENCH BLAME YANKS

Friendly American Invasion Sets

IL tire on your taxi blew out, If the

But now the expression has given
way to a new one:

France has not recovered from the
recent friendly American invasion.
The free-spending American was re-
garded as particularly bright mark
to shoot at even before the war.
And then when the American SOL

After a while three grades of prices
were established-the lowest for the
French soldier, the next for the French
civilian, and-ah, the next-fOr the
American soldier and the American
civilian.
With the war a thing of the past
prices have gone up to the American
standard, and some Frenchmen,
through association with Americans,
have learned to dispose of their money
with an utter abandon which was not
even dreamed Of during the war.
That is what the friendly American
invasion has done to France, and that
is why the shopkeeper, the worker, the
clerk and his sweetheart shrug their
shoulders when things go wrong finan'
cially and say:

offered. One sees the unison of four
colors in fine stripes. grouped together
and spaced about three inches apart.
