peculiar distinction have taken to
wearing high, straight, cossack caps
made of taffeta folded about in various
directions and finished with head band
of fur. A woman was walking on Fifth
avenue with such a hat made of brown
satin, bordeTed with beaver, a ripping
cape of African brown plush with a
collar buttoned to the chin and in her
hand long stout walking stick of poll
fshed brown wood with an amber knob.
Anothed woman was lunching in the
Ritz restaurant wearing high cossack
hat of gray panne velvet bordered with
gray slynx. The gray panne velvet
frock rose to the chin and fiared about
the ears with an edge of slynx. In the
ears were gray pearl earrings. Two
hats may not make a fashion as one
swallow does not make a summer, but
there you are, with a new idea.
This is the apotheosis Of the hat
without brm, but it does not mean
that we are in for season of brimless
hats The mlliners are sending South
beige-colored straw hats with high
pointed coolie crowns with b-ims that
sweep to the width of the shoulders
and dip a bit on the outward flight.
One such hat has peculiar crown
band. The use of a lattice work OF
straw and red ribbon Is unusual There
is another type Of hat on its way to
Florida which has a wheel brim lifted
at the edge in Spanish fashion. 1t Is
made of figured blue taffeta. the crown
gored like a melon. and the bow at the
side of rose-colored organdie. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY difficult to get away from the
Breton sailor. 1t still has the high
pointed crown, and the rosary beads
have replaced the coral ones. These
wooden ornaments were used last sum-
mer on the new hats made by France
for America. This year they appear as
an embroidery for ribbon. There are
also bright colo-ed beads, made of wood
or glass strung together and used as
lattice work on the upturned rolling
crown.

TRAVELLING PUBLIC TO SAVE
$80,000,000.

The American public will pay $780,
600 600 less to travel ON the coun-
try's railroads in 1922 than they
paid this year. This saving is to az
crue to the public as a result of
the repeal of the transportation tax
OF 8 per cent. on passenger rates
enacted into law in the form of the
new Internal Revenue Tax bill which
was signed by President Harding
Wednesday night. The railroad pro-
visions of the bill go into effect on
Jan. ! next. The tax on freight rates
was per cent.
The transportation tax, which has
besn in eifee since early in 1918, has
netted the Government approximate.
iy $36o,O00,O0O annually. and its re-
zeal simply means reduction of 8
per cent. in passenger rates and 3
per cent. in freight rates for tho pat
rcns of every railroad. No benefit. Of
course, has ever accrued to the rail
arrangements because of this added
revenue they had to collect, as y
Clinch Valley news. [volume] (Jeffersonville, Va.) 18??-2019, 1921-12-02

strict accounting had to be made i'm
mediatcly to the Government by cv-
cry carrier
The saving Of $80,000,000 in pass
cngcr fares for 1922 is computed on
the basis of passenger revenues to-
falling approximately S1,000,000, 900
for all the railways. If the passen-
ger revenues of the New York Cen
trail for the first six monthes of 1921
are doubled and the result taken as
fair approximation Of what the
road might expect next year in this
form of income. the patrons of TIN
road will save approximately $1,000
900 by the elimination of the 8 pei
cent. which was charged to travel
crs as 4 Government tax. Projecting
this hypothesis to shippers, the saving
in freight rates for New York Cen
trail patrons would, be i'll round num-
bers. $4,000 900 annually. The Penn
sylvania Company's passengers will
save. on this basis, Sl4,000,000 an
nually. and shippers will save S12,-
100000. Lehigh Valleys patrons will
save approximately 100000 annual
ly in passenger fares and ST 800, OUO
in freight bills.
The first official computations t.
be issued on this matter came from
the Long Island Railroad Company
few days ago Officials state that
us result of the transportation tax
repeal. Long Island people will save
almost Sl,500,000 per year, about
evenly divided between passenger
and freight. "For instance" says the
statement. con one-way ticket
costing 81, the amount saved will be
8 cents, On Il communication ticket
costing S12, the tax amounts to y6
cents. On 50-trip ticket costing $50,
the amount saved will be 81. On
freight the saving will be 3 per cent,
or ON carload of coal, saving vi
about 81 will be shown"
Between all stations where the fare
is loss than az cents there has been
no tax under the old law.
All of the railroads are understood,
to be working OH statements which
will show the exact saving patrons
will enjoy between various individual
POINTS on their lines. The new figures
are expected TO be ready for publ
cation in few days.
