 Below 1t is one of the new beaded headdresses. with gold or rhine- stones for background and with an occasional big jewel for color. The outstanding wings make you think of a Greek goddess. and the plain ban deau, drawn low and smooth across the forehead, is undoubtedly Greek in origin.
 Headdresses are almost universal ly worn. unless an evening hat ts preferred. and the majority of them show Greek influence.
 They are made of jewels of gold or silver tissue, of flowers or beads, and often. in spite of the volstead act, of little careless clusters oi grapes, making one think instantly of Hedda Gabler and her speech about vine leaves in her hair. of nymphs and of Pan piping down some sun flecked glade.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEER SPEAKS
by The Federated Press,

Schenectady, N. Y. If American
industry is to progress and permanent
prosperity ensue, industry must be or
gained not only to bring capital fair
and reasonable return, but to guarantee
to the worker living wage, said Chas.
P. Steinmetz, consulting engineer, Gen
eral Electric Co., addressing an open
forum meeting in All Souls Unitarian
church here.
Cooperation in industry, he decIar-
ed, is gaining ground as opposed to
either the Socialistic or the capitalistic
conceptions. If the co-opevative ten
dency is to succeed. he added, the EN-
ploye must have living wage, contin-
uous employment. and capital must
have return which is fair and con-
tinuous enough to attract it.
'The problem then arises" he said,
to harmonic these two requirements
and to reorganize our country's indus
trial system SO as to eliminate the al
ternate periods of depression and in
flaticn."
Steinmetz gave it as his opinion that
the most practicable and effective way
Of attaining this end is one in which
Iebor end capitaI would be comnlete-
Iy unified ''by having them beth. in
some form or other, participate in the
profits of the company through divi-
dends, and in the management Of the
comneny through the board of direc-
tors.

MAKE AUTOMOBILE KILL
ING A CAPITAL CRIME

New York.-New York's recent
Safety Week, headed by e. H. Gary,
of the U, S. Steel corporation, with
his slogan Don't Get Hurt, has been
followed by such an increase of auto
mobile slaughter in the streets that au-
tomobile killings are coming into the
homicide court at the rate sometimes
of five or six in single day. So
scandalous have conditions become
that for the first time. motor car dri-
yers who have killed pedestrians are
being held for manslaughter. This oc-
ours now at the rate of one or two a
day.
One such driver has been sent to
jail for from one to ten years; but
that, according to Assistant District
Attorney John R. Henning, is about
the only case where severe punishment
has been visited on offenders, despite
the fact that more than 1000 are killed
here annually BY automobiles.

NATION NEEDS BEING SAVED
FROM PROFITEERING PATRIOTS

New York. - The nation is being
saved again. This time it is by the
Allied Patriotic Societies. Inc, with
membership of more than 6,OO0,-
OO0." The great idea of the Allied
Patriotic Societies, Inc, is to intro
duce bill at the coming session of
the New York legislature making it
impossible for the name of any party
that subscribes to principles subver-
sive to the constitution of the United
States" to appear on a ballot. The
announcement was made at the annual
meeting here of the Army and Navy
club.
This ingenious scheme, however, is
only part of the great idea. The Al
lied Patriotic Societies. Inc, has pass
ed resolution ito direct and control
foreign-language newspapers. . That,
it was explained, will control foreign
propaganda and at the same time IS
sue propaganda favorable to this coun-
try through the United States com
missioner of education. A bill to that
effect is to be introduced in congress,
the speaker said. And everybody
cheered.

Emporia, Kan. = Il have been Ku

the quits to pull out their shirt tails
and give real Ku KIux Khan parade. -
Such was the indignant comment OF
William Allen White when he was no
titled that charges against him that he
had violated Aliens industrial court
law, were dismissed on instructions
from the attorney general. Specific
charges against White were that he
had violated an order of the industrial
court by displaying in his office win
dow a placard expressing sympathy
with the striking shopmen. White is
editor and publisher of the Emporia
Gazette.
Whites hot shot at Aliens court was
supplemented by a statement from
District Judge W. c. Harris, presiding
when White appeared. Judge Harris
observed that three times White had
appeared in court and demanded trial,
and that three times the state had re-
fused to try him, asking continuance.
The state has legal right TO dis
miss its case, but it is a great wrong
to charge a person with a criminal of
Tense and humiliate him by arrest, mall
iciousIy or without probable cause;
the lay mind associates arrest with
guilt" said Harris. 'The court is
forced to the conclusion in this case
by the conduct Of the moving party,
that this case was commenced mali
ciously or recklessly, without any In
vestigation Of the facts to ascertain
a prosecution was justified,
and in either event the action was
equally reprehensible. A defendant in
a criminal prosecution is entitled TO a
fair trial. | do not think the defendant
