MARGIN FOR SUBSIDY LOWER
THAN WAS PREDICTED BY
SPONSORS.
MARINE ACT PASSED
BITTER FIGHT OVER MERCHANT
MARINE BRINGS VICTORY TO
REPUBLICANS.

Washington. - The administration
shipping bill, around which was waged
the most bitter partisan fight of the
present Congress, had "a votes to
spare. The final count was 20S to 1S4.
Sixty-nine Republicans broke away
from their party organization and op-
posed the bill, while four Democrats
supported 1t.
There never was much doubt about
the result, but the margin by which 1t
went through was much lower than es-
Inmates publicly given by most of the
leaders. 1t was, however, just about
what they figured on privately.
In the face of threats to delay, If
not prevent, its passage, by the Senate,
the measure will go to the Senate COM
mittee which plans to accept it as
passed by the House.
Roll call from the states of Colorado,
Wyoming and New Mexico show the
representatives voting on the shipping
bill as follows:
Colorado-Vaile, Timberlake and
Hardy (Republicans) voting for; Tay-
lor (DemocraD against.
Wyoming -Mondell (Rep.), for.
New Mexico-Montoya Rep.), for.
The House, in the last stage of the
battle, defeated an amendment by Rep
resentative Lanham, Democrat, Texas,
designed to give the measure what he
declared was its proper name. Mr..
Lanham wanted to change the title or
merchant marine act to the ship sub
sidy act of 1922, asserting that he has
put forward the proposal in the final
hope that spade may be called by its
proper name"
As passed by the House, no line was
left in the bill relating to the subject
of liquor selling on American ships.
When the question was reached in
committee of the whole, the Bankhead
out-and-out prohibition amendment
was put aside and substitute Offered
by Mr.. Edmonds accepted.
1t stipulated that if ship on any
particular voyage permitted the trans
portation of liquor, 1t could not share
in a subsidy for that voyage.
The House made number of
changes in the bill as reported by the
merchant marine committee. One of
them gave Congress the right to APP
propriate annually out of the merchant
marine fund the money necessary to
carry out the provisions of the act.
Another provided that industrial
ships, such as those owned by the
Standard Oil Company, should not col
lect compensation on any portion of a
vessel carrying cargo of the ship own
ers.
The provision of the bill giving in
come tax reductions to shippers send
ing their goods abroad in American
vessels was stricken out, and the
House also stipulated that the steam
ship Leviathan should not be sold for
less than the cost of reconditioning-
$S, 100000.
Purchasers of shipping board vessels
would pay not less than Az per cent
interest on deferred payments, instead
of per cent, as originally stipulated
in the bill, under an amendment adopt
ed, and money loaned to prospective
constructors would bring the govern
ment not less than Az per cent inter
est Instead of = per cent.

LACE PLAYS IMPORTANT ROLE
Decoration Equally Popular in Black
and White for Spring and
Summer Dresses.

Lace is playing very important
role in the development of spring and
summer evening dresses, black, white
and colored laces being equally popu-
lar. While color combinations are
seen, one-tone effects seem to be more
highly approved by the better houses,
with perhaps just touch of color con-
trast in girdle' or belt.
A dinner or evening dress of black
satin had q waist with a cape back,
and the skirt has an over-drapery con-
sisting of lace panels. These panels
with pattern effect, suggesting long
lace scarfs cut In half, each hsf form
ing a panel If desired, embroidered
or accordion-pleated chiffon might be
used effectively instead Of these lace
panels.
The gown is all black except for the
interesting girdle, which consists or
cabuchons formed of narrow metal
and colored silk braids, with streamer
ends of the braid falling slightly be
low the edge of the skirt between each
panel. An ornamental girdle may cas-
lily be purchased all ready to wear /;
but the woman with nimble fingers and
sfdeas" may make very individual
and lovely girdle for herself by using
rather large fat wooden button forms,
criss-crossing them with metal and
colored braid. fastening them together
closely and finishing with long braid
ends. Several colors may be blended
In the girdie with very good effect.
yellow in various shades Is In high
favor, the rather vivid dandelion being
particularly popular. A gown similar

CORSET OF TODAY
No Indication of the Waistiine
Becoming Smaller.
Prevalent style In France is Extreme
ly Low, Not Very Long and
Lightly Boned.

The evolution of the corset Is ex-
tremely interesting, observes a writer
In the New York Tribune. Its Ameri-
can history dates back to the days OF
the Pilgrims. when the first article of
this character was made In this coun-
try. These God-fearing people wove
the material by hand, leaving it in its
natural gray state. To bone the cor
set they used whalebone, which they
sewed In by hand-and this garment
was not lightly boned as 1t is in these
days. The whalebones were placed so
close to one another that one row Of
stitching supported bone at either
side of it.
Unlike the corset of today, this
primitive. one covered the body from
the waistllne upward, leaving the hips
practically unprotected. Reaching
from ones chest to waist, 1t gradually
diminished in size toward the latter
point, where it again widened slightly,
ending not more than two inches be-
low the waistline. The top and bot
tom edges were finished with white
leather binding.
During recent years--clothes having
taken to straight lines-many women
OF both France and America have
worn either no corset at all or one
quite lightly gboned. Gradually, how
ever, they are beginning to perceive
the need of some support, however
slight Il may be. Particularly Is this
true of the French woman, who was
the originator of the corsetless mode,
according to an interview with the
head of one of our largest American
manufacturing concerns, who recently
returned from Paris.
The women of America are under
the impression that their French sis
tiers have entirely dispensed with cor

HATS ARE OF MANY coLoRs
Wide Range Of Tints Adds to Charm
and Variety Of Smart Wom-
ans Toilet.

The wide range of tint; offered in
this season of col0rs adds to the
charm and variety of the smart wom-
ans toilet, but 1t also necessitates q
happy eye for color in choosing the
hat to top ones smartest spring cos
tune. This delicate sense of coloring
may be called into play to select from
an assortment of queer browns and
blues, yellows. reds and greens. the
tone which will blend to perfection
with the suit or frock in question. For
many of til tints offered are more or
less queer" variations of the good old
fashioned colors which werc their fore
runners. There are delicate blues,
ranging from periwinkle through or
child to the palest sky tints; yellow In
which one may favor the new dent de
lion, or swing ores fancy from the
most brilliant of burnt orange to the
paiest of canary tints.
The spring tendency for fabrics Of
higher luster has found a stanch ally
In the new sport satins which were
given a place of prominence at New
York's spring fashion show. lmmedi-
ately after this event, windows on the
avenue were blaze of color, featur-
ing frocks and hats of luster fabrics
in the new dent de lion yellow. This
new tint is more universally becoming
than the paler yellows of former times
which had more of green and less Of
gold in them.

ROADS
FACTORS AFFECTING GRADING
Labor Costs, Character Of Soil Graded
and Time Limit on Contracts
: All Counted.

prepared by the United States Department.
sof Agriculture)
A great variation In the conditions
under which grading for highways is
done In different sections of the United
States Is reflected In cost data COM
piled by the bureau of public roads,
ture, on 1850 miles of federal-aid road.
The figures cover the four-year period
1917-1921 and are based on a total OF
24,5OO,000 yards of earth.
For the groups of states the aver
age price per cubic yard is as fol-
lows: New England and Middle At
lantic states, $1.33; East North Gen.
trail, $068 West North Central, $0.49;
South Atlantic, $0.61; East South Cen
trail, S0.41; West South Central, $0.35;
Mountain, S0.52; and Pacific states.
$0.61. The general average price was
$O.56.
Probably the most important factor
affecting the cost was the amount OF
grading to be done per mile. the
quantity being very small In the
groups having the highest prices. In
general 1t is noticed that where mostly
old roads are rebuilt, the light work
and tearing up the old pavement great
" affected the cost. The amount of
fine grading or trimming required for
the higher types of pavement was also
a factor. Labor costs, character of
soil to be graded, climatic conditions,
time limit on contracts, and cost Of
detours for traffic also affected the
cost.
While each group of states did not
have the same volume of grading each
year, and therefore the average figure
for the whole country is not truly
representative, 1t is interesting to note
that the average cost of grading grad

sets. This is inaccurate, because what
we term a short corset or girdle they
classify as a belt.
There is no change whatever In the
llpes of corsets. At present there Is
no indication of the waistline becom-
ing smaller. If anything, the waist Is
larger. The prevalent style In France
is a model extremely low, not very
long and quite lightly boned. For
evening wear the backs are entirely
cut away. So many French women
have returned to the corset In the past
month that sales have increased 90
per cent.
