a penchant for much adornment-and

In spite Of the craze for elaboration
there will never be time when too
much decoration Is In good taste, espe-
cially on clothes designed for the

the rose Is bad business in styles as In
everything else. But little madness
seizes the fashion world occasionally.
and then every one runs after strange

LONDON SEEKS RELIEF.

LONDON, April 20.-The London
press displays prominently news OF
the United States governments action
against sugar speculation, which Is
said here to be mainly responsible for
the high and continually increasing
retail price for that staple The dis
satisfaction caused by the failure Of
the budget to provide relief from high
sugar prices may be partly offset by
the hopes which have been aroused
by the American injunction, petition.
Meanwhile the British public faces
the prospect of a further increase IN
the price OF the commodity. Crushed
sugar rose a shilling q hundrtedweight
on yesterdays market, and the in
crease to the consumer OF penny
pound is accompanied by the threat OF
q corresponding boost in the price Of
candies and sweetmeats.
Many dealers increased the price
of Jams and confectionery yesterday
and the prediction IL made that
sugar, which now sells at about Z
pence q pound retail. will ref CHI
8 pence, or even q shilling, by the
end Of the year.
The traders repudiate tho charge
OF profiteertng, saying that tho rtse(
in price II q matter Of sheer nsces-,
sity. They point out that they are
paying 20 ehilltngs moro Dor hun
dredweiEht than they were two
months ago ana that tho Increase In

- oLICIToR GENERAL JAMES ,,


BECK struck a keynote last
night when he told the dele
gates that the congress WAS
"the most noteworthy gathering OF
" women in the history OF the organi-
zation." He drew keen appreciation
when he criticized the architect OF
the building for placing 80 massive
clock in the building that it would
stare at the speaker on the program
with q disinheriting look"
There are little red and blue lights
on the speakers platform for the
checking Of addresses which threaten
to exceed the time limit. But the
lights are SO placed that It must be
hard for an enthusiastic orator TO
1,ote the warning blue and the stop
ing around the platform obscures the
lights. At times delegates center
more attention on these lights than
do the speakers.

The tense excitement inside the au-

sequel outside when five reporters

Everything ceased to be a joke, how

automatic into the ribs of one scribe
with the admonition that II might be
healthier for all to put up their hands.
Obeying with alacrity. the writers
were unceremoniously ushered out OF

would seem that in order to be effec-
tive the action should have been
brought against those who have been
gambling in sugar and artincialiy
enhancing it's price. and not simply
against the proprietors Of the alleged
gambling house.
"If the Department of Justice and
the administration he continued, are
in earnest in their desire to check
speculation and price manipulation,
they will not stop with this injunc-
tion. but will proceed at'onee against
those higher up who control the
sugar supply of the United States,
including both cane and beet sugar.
In order to do this effectively. 1t will
be necessary for the Attorney Cen
eral to make his investigation much
broader and more searching than 1t
has been In the past. He must i'm
mediately subpoena the original
books of the sugar brokers and carry
on searching Investigations. both in
the United States and in Cuba, which
will cover not only the big sugar
producers, but also those American
banks that now absolutely control
the production and sale of Cuban
sugar. He will Investigate all meet

will not be inactive. Its agents are

court should decide on April 80 to
grant the preliminary Injunction.
Such thorough study has been given
the whole subject. however: by Attor,
ney General Daugherty himself and
ali branches Of his department con-
cerned that there was considerable
confidence today in administration cir
cles that the court would grant the
temporary Injunction, contrary to cor
tain reports that Attorney General
Daugherty. who went south with the
President to reouperate from illness,
had not been IN touch with activities
of his department. 1t was learned
that the Attorney General personally
has long been studying what move
the government could take. and at
