GUARDS WOOL FROM MOTHS
New Preparation Said to Preserve the
Fabric From Depredations
of the Pests.

A preparation has been discovered
in Europe which, it is claimed, makes
wool immune from the ravages of
moths. It is in the form of powder,
which, before it is applied, is mixed
in water with small quantity of sui
phuric acid for all-wool goods, formic
acid being used for half-wool.
The wool itself is said not to be
affected by the application, and only
few colors, very slightly. In case no
alkalies are brought into contact with
it the wool remains moth-proof when
washed Tests made with two pieces
of wool cloth exactly alike, in which
moth eggs We're placed, resulted, II the
course~of six months, in the entire dis
appearance of the untreated fabric,
whereas the wool which had been
treated remained intact.

When a bachelor finally gets mar

Now they claim the ladies spend

still we are gallant enough to believe
they are not as bad as they are

would assume personal responsibility
for fixing minimum prices at the mine,
in order to prevent profteering. He
asked, however, that the operators
agree among themselves on fair prices
in order that the antitrust laws might
not be infringed. Mr.. Hoover then
announced what he considered fair
prices in three districts. These ranged
from 1920 to $3.50 a ton for the Ala
bama district; $3.50 a ton for the
smokeless coal districts of West Vir-
GINA, and $3.50 ton for the Harlan
and Hazard fields of Kentucky and
the southern Appalachian fields of
Tennessee and Kentucky. The maxi
mum for the Alabama district is 20
censt a ton below the final Garfield
wartime scale, while the maximums
proposed for the other districts are
somewhat above the Garfield prices.
The prices are to apply only to spot
coal.

There is good story told Of the
Aga Khan, the great Mohammedan po-
tentate. He has a fine taste in cham
payne, and an Englishman, who was
dining at the same house in Paris,
asked him how he, as an orthodox Mo-
hammedan, could touch alcohol in de-
fiance of the Koran.
"On," said the Aga Khan, "that is
simple. I am a holy man, and when
alcohol touches my lips it becomes
water"
Some time later the prince was din

the butler poured him out a glass Of
water, Wien he looked obviously at it.

a MOTHER great strike is threat
"A ened, this time Of the railroad
workers whose wages have been or
are to be reduced by the United
States railway labor board. Already
the board has made public one deci-
sion cutting nearly $50,000,00o from
the annual wages of the maintenance
of way men, and before this reaches
the reader it is almost certain another
decision will have been published
slashing between S50000,O00 and $751;
100000 from the yearly pay of the
shopmen. Either ruling is sufficient
to bring on a walkout if the men re-
main in their present state of mind,
and. stilT others may follow soon.
The first decision announced orders
a reduction of 1872 per cent in the
prevailing pay of maintenance of way
men, effective July /. 1t affects about
100000 workers, and their new wages
will range from % to 35 cents an hour.
It was signed by the three public
members and the three railway mem
bers of the board The three labor
members signed a dissenting opinion,
holding that the new pay does not
constitute the "just and reasonable
wages guaranteed under the transpor-
tation act, and that in fact it does not
represent a living wage. The major
fly report, however, points out that
common labor on railways, even after
the reduction, will be better paid than
similar labor In most other industries
Edward II. Fitzgerald, president of
the railway clerks organization, took
the lead in planning for the prospec-
tive strike, inviting sixteen chiefs OF
rail unions to meet this week in Gin
cinnati. He was forestaIling an ex-
pected decision by the federal board
cutting the pay of the clerks, telegra-
pliers. and other smaller classes. There
is a possibility that this conference
will result in a defensive alliance be
tween the railway workers and the
miners. Such a compact really was
formed several months ago, but failed
to provide for aggressive action I'M
less each step was approved by refer
endums of the various organizations
involved. This lack may be supplied
at the Cincinnati meeting.

strike of coal miners and that 1t does
not look for any decisive turn in af-
fairs before the middle of June or the

CENAT0R NTCUNIBER'S bill for a
y soldier bonus was approved by the
senate fnarce committee by a vote Of
9 to 4, and he announced he would be
ready to make a favorable report on
the measure to the senate within a
few days. He hopes to induce the
senate to sidetrack the tariff debate
long enough to pass the bonus bill, but
as the latter does not go into effect
until January / next, many of the Re
publican leaders are opposed to this
idea. The Democrats will support
McCumber's plan for immediate con-
sideration of the bonus. The bill as
approved by the finance committee is
almost identical with the bill passed
by the house. The Democrats are not
satisfied with it, and Senator Smoot
will try to have his insurance measure
adopted as a substitute, so the debate
in the senate is likely to be a long
one.

INVESTIGATION of war frauds now
L is under way in Washington, the
first of the governments series of
cases, dealing with contracts for dis
posal of surplus lumber, having been
presented to the special federal grand
fury by United States Attorney Pey-

erty issued a statement saying that at
no time during the grand jury investi-
CATION would any information be given
out as to its activities or the names
of the cases presented.
Meanwhile Senator Caraway and
others continue their attack on the
attorney general unfaggingly, with
the avowed intention of driving him
out of the cabinet because of his con-
nection with the release of Charles w.
Morse from the federal penitentiary.

ERMANY'S reply to the ultima
~ tum of the allied reparati0n COM
mission was near enough to complete
acceptance to satisfy that body, which,
after a days intensive study of the
note, telegraphed to Berlin its approx
al of the German promises to bal
ance the budget and to stop the issue
of paper money. The commission then
turned over to the committee of inter-
national bankers in session in Paris
the entire question of German finances
and payment of reparations. Those
bankers, among whom is J. Pierpont
Morgan of the United States, are now
studying the questions of Germanys
capacity to pay, the guarantees she
can give for the series of huge loans
that will be necessary, and, in connec-
ton with the latter, the possibilities
involved in the Russo-German pact.
The German proposals were drawn
UP by Finance Minister Hermes and
are not at all liked by some other
members Of the Wirth cabinet and
many members of the reichstag. The
SHINES group especially attacked
them as a surrender of sovereignty
that will bring on catastrophe. The
reichstag refused to pass vote of
lack Of confidence in the government,
but the cabinet is believed to be in a
shaky condition.
Lloyd George made statement on
in which he strongly intimated that
Germany would be granted reductions,
postponements and revisions when
these appeared necessary, and this
was greeted with cheers. France,
naturally, is not pleased with develop
ments, but is not in position to object
strenuously.

HAD HIGH SENSE OF HONOR
Mark Twain PunctiIious to Degree,
in Order to Satisfy His "Presby-
terian Conscience"

Mark Twain, it is well known, la
bored in his older years to repay the
debts incurred by his publisher; but
probably a great many persons, hasing
their opinions on Twain's own jests,
supposed him to be rather happy-go-
lucky in smaller affairs. But he was
not, shows Gamaliel Bradford in his
sketch Of Twain in American Por-
traits"
The most obvious instance Of his
rectitude, says Mr.. Bradford, are in
regard to money. In spite Of his
dreams and speculative vagaries, he
was pnnctiliously scrupulous in
financial relations, his strictness cul-
minating in the vast effort of pa
tience and self-denial necessary to pay
off the debt of honor which fell upon
him in his later years. But the nice
ness of his conscience was not limited
to broad obligations Of this kind.

but the one duty--to hunt and harry
its slave upon all pretexts and all

to do anything which can invite sus-
picion," he said, as to matter so
trivial as taking advantage in game.

BLOUSE AND SUIT
Jacket Added, Suit Is Stamped
as Three-Piece Costume.
Sleeveless Garments, Made on Cape
Lines With Undulating Fullness-
Flowing Sleeves Smart.

That there is relationship between
the blouse and the suit, is not denied,
though the three-piece costume, so
called, doesn't always mean costume
Of three pieces. If dress has an &C
companying jacket, then the fact that
the dress is a combination of bodice
and skirt, the addition of a jacket I'M
mediately stamps it as a three-piece
costume. In this respect there is a
great diversity, and even though the
frock is more often worn than the
blouse and skirt, the direct suggestion
of the blouse is there.
Then, too, the variety of fabrics in
which the three-piece garments are
shown, tweeds being generally favored,
provides the blouse with more worlds
to conquer" A three-piece suit OF
black kasa cloth, for instance, with It's
frock sleeves Of romaine or marocaln
crepe in royal blue, readily suggests
the sort of a blouse to go with SIM
ply skirted model.
The sleeveless frocks Of tweed are
excellent for the tailored type OF
blouse, while suits Of cordine trico-
tine or twill, with their varied en-
broideries of black satin or grosgraln
ribbon sometimes touched with tlnsel
thread floss motifs, wooden or steel
bead effects, suggest to the woman
who is to wear it, just the type OF
blouse-perhaps similarly trimmed-to
combine in a three-piece costume eff
feet.
Just as there are sleeveless frocks,
so there are sleeveless jackets. These
jackets are made on cape lines, with
undulating fullness at the lower edge,
and here the flowing sleeves add to
the smartness of the ensemble.
This feature Indirectly marks the
entrance of flowing sleeves to things
fundamentally tailored as well as es-

WEAR HAND-PAINTED DRESS
Decoration Graces Some of the Organ
die Frocks; French Method
Assures Fast Colors.

A new feature of some of the or
candle dresses is the hand-painted
decoration. Instead Of embroidery,
jolly little bouquets are adroitly
painted on the fabric here and there,
and they say that the French meth
cd of painting assures absolutely fast
colors, no matter how many times
the garment is washed. Very tiny
people are going to wear wide skirt
hens this year-in fact, the garments
almost seem to be all hem. No really
fashionable baby will tolerate hem
narrower than four inches, and that
seems to be about the minimum. The
exception, of course, is in the but
tonholed and embroidered frocks,
some of the prettiest ones showing
scalloped edges done in hand en-
broidery, to match floral wreaths or
nosegays on the dress itself.
