Louise Shunlate, believes that the
Office of the chief executive of the

COAL BILL DUE TO START
FIGHT In The SENATE

Washington, June I8.-Senate fac
tons today prepared for another bat
tie next week ver the Frelinghuysen
coal bills.
Reports that certain senate ele-
ments plaE ned to use the measure
which would provide reduced, season.
al rates on coal as a vehicle for many
fundamental transportation amend
ments, including repeal of the So
called railroad rate guarantee, caused
opposing forces to prepare for bat
tie.
Members of the unofficial agricul-
tural block of senator's were said TO be
behind the amendment program.
Besides press. ng a proposal for re-
peal OF the rate guarantee, II was said,
other amendments would strike at the
Interstate commerce commission's
power TO regulate state rates. An
other amendment reported in pros
pect is for reduction of freight rates.
Reports OF probable precipitation
of general railroad legislation into
consideration OF the Erelinghuysen
program led opponents to consider OBJ
structive measures.

Washington, June 1S.-Delay by

declared, two important witnesses,
Major Tucker Of Philadelphia, who
performed the autopsy. and Sergeant
Turner, who was at Camp Lewis at
the time Cronkhite was killed, had
not been interviewed by department
agents. Goldstein pointed to Rosen-
bluth's connections with the Institute

and called attention that a number OF
prominent persons. including Secre-
tary Hoover, had written letters about

Gowns to Suit the Age.

Berthe Bady is not a very young
woman and she does nO pretend to be
that. She is between thirty and forty,
and always dresses to suit that age,
with the result that she looks younger
than she actually Is. For her Worth
designed an exquisite theater or res
taurant wrap / can confidently recon-
mend to my readers.
1t was of "Manon" outline, but in
stead of the traditional hood ii had a
big box frill at the neck. The material
of this wrap was dull green satin
lined with q really exquisite silver
brocade. The cape was quite long--it
covered the whole dress--and it was
also very full and gathered into a
shoulder yoke. 1t was fastened In
front with long silver cords finished
with handsome tassels.
For the same actress Worth has
made an admirable evening dress
which would be ideal for q restaurant
dinner. The dress was made of a
silver lame and the design was ex-
ceedingly simple, an absolutely plain
corsage Of ~casaquin outline, cut round
at the neck and with very short
sleeves; the waistline was long and
the skirt was draped up at the sides
to give a pannier effect.
There was no trimming whatever,
but the silver lame mate rial was SUI
perb, supple as chiffon. and SO rich
that It glistened as II covered with
diamond dust.
Draped evening and afternoon
dresses are very fashionable this sea-
son. These models are made Of
satin, lame, embroidered crepe, panne,
pailletted tulle and many other wide
ly different materials. Sometimes the
draperies are arranged to make the
skirt look like wide Turkish trousers.
1t is a case of 'draperies and yet
again draperies." But TO be success
full these draperies must be arranged
by master hands, otherwise they look
simply untidy and without meaning.
Taffeta has come back with a rush.
A few weeks ago we talked Of nothing
but satin and crepe de- chine.
Some of the best taffeta models have
the fiounces edged with a picot stitch,
and II Ii worthy of remark that the
latest idea in this connection Is a set
of iounces all of the same width, not
graduated. as has been fashionable
through the winter.

Ten Thousand Gun Barrels
Being Manufactured at
Danzig, League Coun-
Gil Finds

Geneva, June 1S.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-THE disclosure that
10000 gun barrels are being made by
an arms factory in Danzig for Mexico,
caused a mild sensation at the meet
ing of the council OF the league OF
nations today. NJ. Hanotaux, French
representative, expressed surprise
that a municipality under the pro-
lection OF the league was making wal
materials.
Herr Salm, president OF the city, ex-
plained that the order had been re-
ceived las October before the con-
stitution of the city was adopted. lie
said it was difficult to change h
factory imme diately for the
ture of other articles.
The council passed over the Ques-
ton without announcing s decision.
Austria this morning signed the
protocol of the permanent court or
international justice under the league
of nations. She was the thirty-eighth
~signatory. Seven have accepted the
clause for compulsory jurisdiction or
and arbitration of international dis
putes by the court.

Gil OF the league of nations, are dis
posed OF speedily when the retiring
president of the council. DIR. Castor
da Cunha, announced he had Sent a
note to the allies asking them to come
to an agreement with the United
States so that the council might act

feathers and afgrettes-the latter as
a rule artificial and cleverly made of
fine horse hair.
There Is just now a craze for bushy
feathers, which make their wearer look
like a savage chief i'm full war cos
tune. These feathers-always UNI
curled and straggling-are placed In
two or three rows round the brim of
the hat or toque and allowed to fall
over the eyes.
A curious fashion, but one which
has caught on to an alarming extent.
Lewis is trying to make us accept very
wide-brimmed satin and straw hats,
which have low crowns and scanty
trimming; the genuine picture hat"
which used to be so dear to the heart
OF the artist "Drian." These hats
will be immensely popular when the
seaside season Is In full swing. but
for Paris they seem a trifle too re-
markable.
As a matter of fact they are not
really so remarkable as the small
toques covered with struggling al
grettes and feathers, which are now so
generally worn, but the big picture"
shapes are unexpected. 1t is quite a
long time since we have worn them.
Short Jackets Popular.

jackets is something that must be
taken into consideration. They are

At recent race meetings in the Bots
de Boulogne, writes a Paris fashion
correspondent, we have had an ex-
cellent opportunity of reviewing pres
ent-day fashions; indeed it would be
more correct to say "present-hour,"
because at this season of the year
fashions change very frequently. Elk
treme novelties are suddenly produced
for the purpose, of making a sensation
particular dressmaker.
AS frequently pointed out, the gen.
eral outline remains graceful and
simple; hat Is TO say, the dresses
worn by our more exclusive Parish
ennes, also by American women OF re-
fined taste and assured social position,
are perfection itself, free from undue
eccentricity and essentially becoming.
But then we have other and widely
different fashions which are freely eX-
plotted by daring young actresses and
by women who like to find themselves
the center of a wondering crowd.
These remarkable costumes are also
created to please a certain type CT
American buyer who insistently de-
mands something quite new and SEN
s%ational."
AT the races one realizes that long
er skirts have really become popular.
The Parisiennes nave been slow to
consent to the added inches; in New
York the dresses were ankle length,
when over here, in France, the ma
jority of women wore dresses that
cut the lower limbs half way between
knee and ankle. Even now there are
many very smart Parisiennes who ac-
lively object to long walking dresses.
My personal opinion is that the latest
models by Paul POiret have had much
to do with this fight against the add
ed inches.
Models Long and Full.
At the beginning of the season
Poiret launched models which were at
one and the same time long and full.
Women quickly realized that this out
line, though quaint and picturesque,
was not generally becoming; it called
for a special type of woman and it
rarely suited young girls.
Perhaps this was why so many Of
our best dressmakers-the real auto
Gratis of the de la PaiX-have de-
cided to retain tie beautiful straight
outlines of last year while adding
width, actually, to the hem of the
skirt. The reason is not easy to dis
cOver, but the fact remains.
Paquin, Worth, DOucet, Doeuillet
and others are showing lovely models
which resemble those of yesterday,
but which have much more material
pressed into their composition. =

CONGRESS is READY
TO EXTEND LIFE OF.
EMERGENCY TARIFF.
Senate Finance Committee
Hears Appeals for Protec-
ton of Live Stock and
Poultry

Washington, November 10.-Con-
gressional action was completed to-
day on the bill to extend the life of
the emergency tariff until perma-
nent tariff legislation is enacted
while the Senate finance committee
was hearing appeals for protection
from live stock and poultry growers.
The legislative action on the bill to
extend the emergency act, which
otherwise would expire by limitation
November 27, was concurrence of
the House in amendments added by
the Senate. The Senate amendments
were accepted, 233 to SO, most of the
opposition votes being cast by demo-
Gratis.
The poultry growers through the
American Poultry association told
the Senate committee that the Ameri-
can hen could not compete with her
foreign sister under rates on eggs as
contained in the Fordney bill passed
by the House. They asked duty of
