made In that darkest Of brown shades,
which the French are pushing this
season. II was then trimmed with
masses Of silk embroidery in q slight
ly lighter shade Of the same color, and
the trimming was concentrated over
the hips In large triangular sections
grouped OF smaller triangular figures.
This was all the trimming there was
about the suit, for the cuffs Of the
rather loose sleeves were left plain.
as was also the collar, which but
toned tightly around the throat.
The Russian influence pushes its way
into the suit category more success
fully than 1t manages to do In 9TH

ed blouse, the thick girdle, the straight
bands Of fur and the brilliant cOlors
lend themselves to the designing Of
the suit with admirable facility.
Peacock Green Duvetyn.
A Russian blouse suit was made Of
peacock green duvetyn with a very
thick and heavy surface. The bloused
section Of the coat was long enough to
completely cover the hips, and under
meath that was a straight sort Of pep
Ium Of the width Of only about five
or six inches. There was a twisted
girdle Of heavy silk threads with the
longest imaginable tassels ending il.
And there were collars and wide cuffs
Of krimmer In a very dark gray shade.
Another suit of this same character
and general line Of cut In a deep rust
shade had for trimming an arrange
ment Of heavy. lOOSe knots Of dark
gray wool that were massed together
quite evenly until they took on a sur
prising look Of krimmer or some other
lambs wool fur.
Fur, indeed. is used for trimming
many Of the winter suits, but the fact
Of the matter Is that In most cases
Il is very sparingiy used. There
are straight, chOker collars and the
smallest Of cuffs, and only seldom Is
there q band Of fur seen around the
bottom u the peplum. And the turs
are mostly Of the short-haired Vari-

THE CHURCH
THE NEGRo'S CORRECT
ATTITUDE.
By DR.. M. A. Majors.

Fortunately for the Negro he is
set upon faith IN God. He at least
acts the part in his humble way as Il
rightly interpreted the scriptures.
The church has long been his Rock
of Ages, and this has been his refuge
in the time of thousand storms. He
has taken strong hold upon this as a
means of cultivation and intellectual
development The church has stood
sponsor for the university and college,
and augmented as we'll ali the great
and good institutions that carry char
ity and christian benevolence to the
heather, the poor and the disconso-
late. No other institution known
among men has done a hundredth OF
the good that has been done for
world progress.
OF course the unlettered and very
commonplace people hold it forth as
the means of grace, and fitness for a
future life beyond the grave. 1t is
well that they have hope in a spiritual

come the super-religionist. and has
made the Negro the wonder race of
our times. 1t has made him eloquent
to speak IN glowing platitudes of his
deliyerance, and his hope of eternal
life. 1t has made him gifted with
song that he might sing of his joys
and blessings and peopled his tractile
mind with beautiful localities.
In the far-fetched analysis of cause
and effect he has not travelled very
far in the few short years of his OPP

THE NEWEST NOTES IN HATS
Lace stiII Much Used and somstimSs
Seen In Streamers That Hang

Lace Is q becoming and decorative
note which is still much used. It Is
sometimes seen In long streamers that
fan from the brim across the back and
hang to the wsistIine, or, again, 1t Il
draped at one side. There are some
shadow designs, but the Spanish laces
are particularly interesting and quite
different from anything used during
the summer, because Of their definite

Why Not the Farmer?

livery single farm product has struck the bot
l. tom of prewar prices. Wages have not manu-
fsctured goods have not wholesale prices have not,
retail prices have not building prices and rents have
not, and transportation remains at the peak
OF the average reduction in the cost Of living, that
on farm products provides the bulk.
Congress has appropriated or will appropriate
S5oo,oooooo for the army. Under present interna-
tional conditions The Herald approves these meas
ures. Until President Harding can bring about
international agreement for disarmament, we.
must have these agencies both as illustrations OF
the folly of armament, and as arguments to compel
the acquiescence of others in disarmament No ma
ton go to other nations with upraised, empty
hands and demand that they throw away their gum
But having appropriated, intending to appro-
pirate nearly ST SIooooooooo for armament alone, can
congress refuse to grant to the farmers Of this
country the temporary credit absolutely essential
to their solvency? In OF war, farm production
is necessary as guns and navy. Upon farm
solvency all other forms OF preparedness rest The
greatest navy and efficient ready army are
valueess unless there is prosperity efficiency and
preparedness on the farms.
The farmers do not ask dollar appro-
priation. They ask no gift. They only ask for
credit for which they must give security satisfactory
to the secretary of the United States treasury That
security Is so much DetteI tHdH lHdt uPoH "HlSh
rests the estimated S4,ooooooooo of credit extended
to Europe, that there is comparison. 1t is bet
ter than that upon which rests the nearly $Io,ooo-
100000 of foreign loans made by this government;
the farmers will not default in their interest 1t is
far better than that upon which rests the operations
Of the war finance corporation
Why should this government extend credit or
authorize and encourage it. to all foreign peoples
and deny it to our farmers? 1t does not matter
how much the agriculture of this country needs
whether it is Ssooooooo or ten times $5oJooo,ooo
this credit should be granted. This country as does
every country including the British empire, rests
economically upon agriculture. To grant credit to
every one else, agriculture everywhere else, but
refuse it to our own, certainly is the opposite OF
Justice wisdom or craftsmanship. With agricul-
tural recovery all Europe will recover economically
and politically and be at peace. With agricultural
solvency and prosperity, the United States will
maintain its dominant power and its ability to help
all other peoples in their recovery, and renewal OF
peaceful industry.

Household Coal.

THE HERALD has been asked by an exceed
ingly trusting and indulgent subscriber, if il
is wise to buy the household supply of coal now, OF
wiser to wait until later; not expected how
ever to more than give august judgment Ot
course if we positively knew that the price OF coal
would go up or down, we would buy or sell, as the
case might be, and have apoplectic purse.
AS fact we know no more than anyone else
The coal conference did not Immediately concern
prices. 1t was not intended to affect prices. The
object to provide publicity that would, by its
completeness and accuracy, protect buyers from a
recurrence of last winters conditions The trouble
then was between the mines and the consumers
rather than at the mines. The public believed there
was great scarcity, when there was abundance.
AS to anthracite for the coming winter, we can
no reason to expect lower price, IT is
decided help in supply and distribution If con-
sumers buy early. Any reduction in price will
probably come from a reduced transportation
charge, not from the mine charge or handling
profits This lowering of freight charges is threat
ened, rather than promised. 1t would not be likely
to save the average consumer much on a household
supply, and there is, maybe, that value in satsfac-
ton in having the winters coal in the bin.
But the price should be a sufficient cause for
conservation OF coal consumption. Our advice is
not to pound of coal until it is absolutely
necessary. Use other ways of heating to relieve
the chill of morning and evening until all-day heat
is needed. In fact pure, cold air is not unheathfu

and extra wrap in the house will save num-
Der of dollars.

Senator Kings Merger Bill.

THE strict railway merger bill introduced by
Senator King, of Utah, is fair to the COM
panles; but 1t is peculiar and distinctive in
being also fair to the people of this District 1t
does not aim to save to the companies all the cap
italization and place upon those who must use
street cars the perpetual burden of putting or sup
plying, value where there is none. On the other
hand it gives the companies wholly square deal
in preserving for them all the value there now is or
ever has been in these properties
Senator Kings bill also recognizes what is al
most automatic, that two distinct services each
by their nature and in fact monopoly, should be
owned, controlled and operated under identical
ownership and management. Street railways and
electric light and power are such monopoies, each
providing distinct and separate public service 1t
was to cover and give effect to this fundamental
principle that congress passed the antimerger law
late 1913 at the time and practically as an
amendment OF the utilities commission law.
The Senator's bill also recognizes that the Po-
tomac Electric has always earned all the dividends
ever paid to the w. R. & E. stockholders As
railroad utility the w. R. & E. has never been able
to earn more than its operating charges including
taxes and bond interest. Whatever surplus there
has ever been has not been sufficient to provide
proper and adequate maintenance When therefore
he leaves to the W. R. & E. stockholders the Po-
tomac Electric utility owned by the W. R. & E as
IN
actual earning value to them, taking their railway
properties as a whole He would also give this
property to them individual stockholders as their
individual possession
Moreover, the senator appreciates, as is evil
denced by his bill, that the only possible merger
must come through the absorption, BY purchase or
otherwise, of the w. R. & E. by the Capital Trac-
ton. The Capital Traction has the financial sta
bility and ability to finance this purchase. The W.
r. & E. has not the means to take over the Capital
Traction. 1t is not in position, owing its over
capitalization and the form of its securities to read
lily, if at all, finance the consolidation.
In the judgment Of The Herald this bill will
provide the only way yet suggested of securing
complete relief from the present situation giving
lower fares at once, and yet being wholly fair to
both companies and to their stockholders. 1t is the
measure back of which all the civic organizations of
the District put the united weight of their ap-
proval and safely give their influence for its
adoption.

Mexicans Now Know.

THE note OF Secretary Hughes to Mexico is
i in fact to the Mexican people. 1t has the
directness. the simplicity and clarity of all the
Hughes notes. 1t leaves nothing to read between
the lines. 1t strips the questions at issue to the
bone and leaves on them ragged piece of flesh for
dispute If the Mexicans themselves want recog-
nition of the Obregon government they are told
how they get it.
Whenever" says Mr.. Hughes Mexico is
ready to give assurance that she will perform her
fundamental obligation in the protection of both
persons and rights Of property vadly acquired
there will be obstacles to the most advantageous
relations between the two peoples" What would
it avail to recognize government willing to con-
cede this if the people not? If the Mexicans
themselves not ready to be simply honest and
dependable, no government representing them can
be expected to be better than they are.
This also indicates course to Obregon which
he may adopt. If he has confidence in his own
people, he can appeal to them and act for them If
he has any conviction that the business men of
Mexico. the so-called business interests those men
not in the political fold and the masses of the peo-
pie, believe in him, satisfied with his admins
tration and wish to maintain it, he can and will act
He has not, heretofore, seemed lacking in courage
.--H He can trust few of his advisers he NAV
be able to trust few of his own larger political
following, of course he turn to his political
opponents. Few Mexican leaders have shown any
disposition to peace. All many OF them want is a
further opportunity for plunder. But they are the
few. II, also, the many not ready to acknowl-
edge their simple obligation people, it is use
less to recognize any government they may, tenn
poIarily themselves recognize. If Obregon has not
the courage, the force and the popular confidence
back of him, to warrant recognizing such obliea-
tons, it is equally useless to recognize him and
his government
