- HERE Is no computing the i'm
portal nee of the right corset at
the right time in the case of the
- young girl just emerging into
womanhood. Too rigid or too confin-
ing corset may mean a train or
physical Ills later IN life; and no cor
set at all may mean bad habits OF
posture. slovenly lines that no later
attention will ever be able to correct.
Women who have reached middle age
will remember their first corset.
donned twenty years or so ago. Who
does not recall the extreme discom-
fort of those first weeks in an abom-
Unable continuance of whalebone and
steel, an unpleasant affair that
pinched the waistline in. pushed up
the diaphragm and bound with tor
turing tightness over the digestive
organs? Some girls of those long
gone days rebelled against these
awful corsets and other girls-because
they were proud to don at last a really
grown-up and young ladyish garment
suffered in silence. And after a
bit the awful corset became bearable.
In six months or so its unfortunate
wearer was pulling In it's laces to make
her party frocks look tiny-waisted
and was actually playing tennis in the
thing. The wonder is how they man
aged It. and survived to tell the tale!
Corscts For Young Girls Have
Reached Perfection
It Is n far cry from that corset of
twenty years ago to the supple little
girdle which the flapper of today puts
on--not to distort her developing
young figure into fashionable lines"
but to give support where support is
needed. to encourage proper posture
and to produce the rrimness Of line
which makes smart frock look its
best. Physicians. trained nurses,
thoughtful mothers and corset ex-
perts have all had something to say
about the modern fiapper's corset. 1t
has been designed along hygienic
lines and not a muscle or an organ
OF the tender young body can be in
jured by II. Rather, 1t helps the de-
veloping body, as trellis helps
young ivy vine TO grow in the proper
direction and reach It's best POSSIBLE
ity OF beauty and grace. ...
Those who have made such cor
set know all about anatomy. And ali
about the organs Of breathing and OF
digestion. And about those delicate
organs Of young womanhood which II
CONSTRUCTED or distorted may cause
endless suffering In after years. Ques-

About 500 .ooe men are employed in tie shop crafts.
 This decision of the labor board" says the councils statement, will not only have very strong and beneficial effect upon the transportation industry but | will mark the beginning of industrial law, so to speak. and of code of principle which will be used as a basis of proceeL- ing in all our basic industries"
 During the day the railroads. through the conference committee of the Associs. ton of Railway Executives, and throusa statements from the heads of individui roads. approved the decision as whole although criticising certain features of it.

London, April Is (By the A. P.).-A tense day, more replete in surprises than any previous day during the extraord . nary industrial struggle which is in progress, closed tonight with an air et quietude.
 Everywhere there wasl visible intense relief on the part of the public over ths knowledge that the contemplated striks of the railway and transport workers had been called off and there was renewed hope expressed that out of the conflict between the striking miners and the rail. waymen and transport workers situi . ton would be brought about which wou-d lead to industrial peace.
 The situation tonight was O that ths strike of the miners continued and that everything depended not as before on Il { amount of support the miners could gt. from their industries but on the extent i'd which Frank Hodges, general secretary of the Miners federation, would be ab to maintain his authority over the rani and file of the miners.
 It is said that MT. Hodges actually threatened today to rtsign his office but that the Miners federation refused tc listen to him, at least until nationsl conference of delegates of the federation has been called to discuss the whole ques tion. The date of this conference will l. fixed tomorrow. Afterwards an officia statement on the situation will be issued

DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF.
 STEEL FIFE AND SHEET METAL

New York; April 15.-Spirited compe- tition for the limited current business in the steel market was thought in business circles to have precipitated the success sion of price cutting announcements to- day by both the United States Steel Cor- poration and several independents. No marked increase in buying was noted, however.
 With the anrouncements, expected to be followed by similar ones from othef' steel makers, came word that some of the idle mills are going to resume opera. tions, bringing back to work not a few of the unetnployed.
 The day brought average drops: of sss a ton in the price of steel pipe and de- clines on sheet metal quotations which varied from $7 to $14 a ton. Selling prices of steel bars, plates. structural iron and other products were lowered by many independents as far back as last February. and onY Tuesday of. this week the United States Steel Corporation fol- lowed their lead It twas understood to- day that the corporation expected within g. short. time to cut its prices on piping and tubes ..s <as l This intensified reports that the United States Steel Corporation intends lowering wages among its 2s5,e0o employees. but I local trade circles again received .denials from ofiicials of the corporation.
 Continued apathy of purchasers was i taken to mean they were waiting for a prospective revision of railroad wage scales in the expectationy that lower freight rates would result Apparently they intend buying only in hand-to-
 mouth manner until these matters reach
 final adjustment.

 Mr. Holcomb appeared + ccurt 10 ex- plain his application for ;'ia rder. The Armstrong Realty company had n5tes of $S2,000 in the Shelton Bank q Trrst company secured by 1900 shares If the Ultra Rea.ty company. which is none existsnt IL had been stated that If ths Armstrong company could liouidate the notes the trust company would be in fairly good shape. E. W. Kneen, the former treasurer, had depended upon payment of the notes to get the insti- tuition out of trouble but Receiver Hol. comb has not been able to realize any thing. The Crucible company of wheen Kneen was treasurer, had e55 900 on de- 'posit. It offers to take the Armstrong notes for the deposit, and aE-,es to pay to the bank anything ld iiiionsl fealized on the notes.

He is said to have inc mediately rendered his resignation.
 Although the general situation is coTe sidered to have greatly improved by ths failure of the railwaymen and the trans. port workers to carry out their projected strike tonight, the government has not relaxed it's measures. military and othei. wise.

 The mine owners issued another state. ment tonight repeating their previously stated opinion tha tthe wages of the lowtf paid men ought to be adjusted and de- claring they still were ready to meet ths miners in conference.

VIEWS OF JAMES R. ANGELL
 NEW PRESIDENT OF YALE

t New York. April f5.-President-elect James R.

 He was in no sense directing these re. marks at Yale, he said. but rather to the general collegiate situation in the coirn. try,S preferring not to discuss affairs oi the institution he is to head until ac. quiring familiarity with them by care. ful study at New Haven.
 Beside the honor guest on the Dias set Arthur T.

IT numbers they exceeded the record SC by the alumni dinner in honor of Will fam Howard Taft. following his cleo tion as president of the United States.
 Dr. Angell told the graduates that most boys work with sufficient ayidi l ty if thew feel that the object of theil labor is really worth whiles
 But like their elders."3 he added witl smile that became epidemic, they hay, an intelliSible indisposition to be bore, except for some good end, and a certain part of the subject matter of the cur riculum of liberal arts and certain ef tn methods of instruction seem to them re mote from any values which they cal | themselves actively appreciate or whicl their world seems to appreciate
 By way of supplementing these diff faculties they have themselves created . vast body of so-called Student activi ties" to which they give much of tn best of ,th cir. thought and energy an, from which. fortunately, they gain :. good deal of highly valuable training i albeit frequently at the expense of thei more strictly academic pursuits.
