SILK HAT

Hat springs eternal in the feminine thought. Be milady ever so blase and bored with things in general new and becoming chapeau will renew her zest in the joy of living, and not only mentally but physically will she feel refreshed.
 Not yet have we had all the WeatA- CT that 'is coming to us'' in the or dinary course of the season, should the winds and Sleet and snow and ice foliow-their usual course of proceed urea fur hat will be appropriate for some time to come. But as a re- suit of that inconsistency so reputed1y 0 part of feminine nature, already here and there and again is gl1mpSed the hat that common sense and good taste should dedicate to spring. Last year there was started a movement to render unto winter the things that are winters and unto spring the things that are springs s- the four season Schem-in millinery realms. Can it be that there is on foot a bit
 of propaganda to reverse all these good intentions? Most of us hope not. We have made up our minds to be comfortable in just the right hat for the time and the occasion-we never did much like the notion of donning a straw and sallying forth in a snowstorm.
 But of the rlid-season hat only the most carp1ng of critics could find an unkind word to say. It is too chic to look upon and too comfortable to wear. The selni-sailor of the photo graph is one of the evident reasons why that type of 'bunnit'' is popular. Developed in that shade of emerald | affair, it is faced with white georgette 1 crepe, so that there is no fear of the l green casting an unpleasant light l upon it's fair wearer's complexion.

evidence that the Irish here are dis
pleased with the recent plea OF the
rope for an Anglo-Irish peace is fur

which will be published in the Sinn
Feiner New York periodical, next
Saturday.
Pope Benedict has at last broken
silence on the Anglo-Irish situation.
In letter to Cardinal Logue, dated
Rome, April 27, and published in the
American press on May %. he decries
the Anglo-Irish conflict and makes
certain suggestions looking toward
peace. This letter and the circum-
stances under which 1t was made
public are remarkable. The Pontif

For Fastening Merger and
Bringing 7-Cent Fare.

Reduction of the street car fare
to a straight cents within the
District can be brought about
through a change in the taxes now
levied against the two traction
companies, Engineer Commissioner
kutz told the District committee
today.
DECLARES TAX UNFAIR.
Commissioner Kutz declared the
present tax. on the t~o companies Is
unfair and inadequate. He advocated
ed differentiated tax that would
force payment for the privilege of
operating in the District in direct
proportisn to the earning capacity OF
the Individual line.
Such a tax would equsIize the earn
ings OF the Capital Traction Com
pany and the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and facilitate
merger OF the two companies, Kutz
stated.
Government ownership OF all trac-
tion companies within the District
was proposed again at today's meet
ing as possible solution of the trac-
tion problem. Congressman Hammer
OF North Carolina and Congressman
heller OF Minnesota both declared the
time ripe for the Government to step
IN and take hold of the companies.
commissioner Kutz maintained that
the time is inopportune because of ex-
listing high prices.
Congressman Keller declared his be-
ief that the two companies could be
acquired as cheaply now as ever He
said the existing low price of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company stock would more than
equalize the high price of the other
company's stock.
