varying widths, contribute the neat eff
fects that the mode approves and no
matter how fine they are, they are
amazingly accurate. Front fastenings
and lines vary-many models fasten
to one side and have diagonal front
line as in the coat pictured at the
right of the group. Unusual sleeves
are another characteristic Of the spring
styles; manufacturers look to in
genious designing and irreproachable
finish for the means of arriving at dis
tinction, and have made many sue
cesses. In the coat at the right, the
fashiOning of the sleeves and collar
are distinctive. while small tucks and
cloth-covered buttons give a good ac-
count of themselves for purely decora-
tive features.

and time alone will tell the story.
But, having served as Commissioner
of the District more than a decade
ago and returning to the task, have
had, perhaps, a better opportunity
than the Washingtonian in private
life to observe the transformation
that has taken place in this beauty

Then there is the proposal to link

parks, thereby aftording an almost
uninterrupted driveway around the

My experience n being reappointed
to the board Of Commissioners after
the lapse of a decade has brought
home to me in striking manner the
change that has taken place during

Some groups in New York have OBJ
jected to the construction of this wa
terway as being a diversion OF COM
merce through foreign territory and
a consequent loss TO our greatest COM

the development OF the St. Lawrence
will produce by-products IN electrical
power amounting to something over
two millions Of horsepower. Of which
q minimum Of one-half will be avail
able for American consumption. The
natural point for consumption Of the
American share Of this power for
industrial purposes is along the Erie
canal, and here lies a promise of the
canals further development and a
return to the state of New York far
greater than the small amount OF val
ues that come from the handling OF
commodities through the port Of New
York.
Moreover. the foundation on which
New York city rests is the progress
of the United States, and the CONNER
cial benefits to the whole country
from the development of this water
way are far greater in their reflex to
New York city than the transporta-
tion of western commodities across
the state and their stevedoring re-
turns at New York harbor. We, of
course, cannot proceed in this matter
until our Canadian friends are ready.

Superpower Development.
In power development we are at
the threshold of one Of the greatest
advances in our history. We have
increased our kilowatt consumption
in twenty years from so to 500 per
capita and we are still only on the
way.
The possibility Of a new stage IN
progress is due TO the perfection Of
high voltage longer transmission,
and more perfect mechanical de-
velopment in generation Of power
We can now undertake to develop
the cheaper sources OF power from
water farther afield, and cheaper
generation from coal through larger
and more favorably placed generation

We can secure even greater econo-
mics in production costs. which are

that promises another battle between
unions of wage earnerS which will,
as in the past. occupy much of the
time Of the conventions that will
have the merits of the dispute be-
fore them, and perhaps as In many
other instances result in adjustment
by absorption Of the weaker by the
stronger contender or by exhaustion
of both parties and subsequent truce
or agreement to preserve both unions
from extinction.
II the jurisdictional disputes have
been Of great moment and also of
great annoyance to organized labor
they have also been a source of much
trouble to industry and to the pub
lice generally. Work on a great
building in the course of construc-
ton has been brought to a complete
halt, not by any trouble between the
contractors and the artisans, but by
dispute between two unions as to
jurisdiction over certain work. The
contractor cannot adjust the dispute
for the reason that if he favors one
union as against the other union
work will not be resumed. 1t Is a
matter for agreement between the
unions that are at war, for 1t is war
as bitter and as devastating as is
possible, with the exception of the
loss of human life.

tacle, cannot understand it Indeed,

New Highways for U. S. Trade
Are Gained by Better Cables

THREE extremely important de-
Velopments in American cable
facilities during the last few
months open up new high
ways TO world trade by the United
States of decided advantage to Amer
fcan business, according to a sur
vey just completed by P. z. D. Nagle,
chief Of the transportation division
of the Department OF Commerce
These improved cable facilities, the
federal experts are confident, will
have a far-reaching effect on inter
national communications and partic-
ularly on the dominance OF American
systems in the western hemisphere.
They remove much of the causes for
complaint regarding the cable service
of this country during the past ten
years. A direct effect on all of our
international business and our rela-
tions with the countries Of Europe
and of South America is certain.
Completion of the Commercial
Cable Company's new cables from
New York via Canso (Nova Scotia)
and the Azores to Ireland and France
provides an additional modern cable of
much greater capacity than any
previously in existence in the At
lantic
Landing rights in the Azores and
Portugal have at last been secured
by the Western Union Telegraph
Company. With the final adjustment
of this dispute the last obstacle in
the way Of direct cable connection
with Spain and the Mediterranean is
removed
The plans Of the Italian company
to extend this service eastward in the
Mediterranean to Greece and Con-
stantinople will make available an
additional route to the near east that
has long been a crying need of Amer
lean business.
Cable communication to Santo Do
mingo, Haiti and a number of the
lesser Antilles has long been uncer-
tain, owing to the many Interruptions
that occur; but the service was much
better than that to Venezuela and the

cable sysems have operated generally
throughout the West Indies the West
India and Panama Telegraph Com
pany, and the Campagnie Francois
des Cables Telegraphiques. Neither of
these systems has reached all the
points in the West Indies that are OF
importance to American cable users.
and the West Indies and Panama
Company, since the war, has been in
such financial position as induced its
directors to consider the sale of its
properties to some other cable sys-
tenn. The British government con
sidered their purchase, but finallv
abandoned the idea because of the
ira ffic agreements by which the COM
pany was bound. These were of such
a nature that neither the British gov
,ernment nor any American company
would care to purchase the West
India and Panama system.
The Compagnie Francois des Tele-
Igraphiques. usually called the French
Cable Company, has exclusive rights
to the telegraph business in many
Venezuela. These exclusive conces-
sions have made it impossible for
many years for any competitor to
enter these particular points in the
territory of the French company.
All-American Cables, Inc, at a gen
eral meeting of its stockholders last
week, held for that special purpose,
'favorably considered the purchase of
the United States and Haiti Company
and of the West Indian system of the
French Cable Company. Such an
acquisition Of these systems means
direct cable service from the United
States over the lines of American
companies to practically every point
of commercial Importance in the West
Indies and in Central and South
America.
1t undoubtedly means also a re
lhabilitation of the worn-out sections
of existing cable plants and O. gem
eral readjustment Of cable rates.

Hallway Is Barometer of
Personality of Homemaker

The hallway offers the visitor first
impression of your home. 1t Is sort
of barometer by which the newcomer
will unconsciously judge the personal
ity of the homemaker.
Whether large or small the hallway
should be inviting. 1t should be fur
nished in good taste, blending the in
formal with the formal. If the re-
mainder of the house is decorated In
the informal atmosphere of coy
apartment or small home, the hall
should offer this atmosphere with a
touch Of the formal about it. That
note will make the intimate rooms
more attractive by contrast.
There are so many different types
of Railways, from the extremely small
one to the "living hail." that it is not
practical to offer specific methods OF
decorating. Yet every hallway, re-
gardiess of size, should be equipped
with the essential accessories. A chair
or bench for guests who may have to
wait. A console table which provides
q mirror by which incoming or depart
ing guests can give final survey OF
their appearance. A tray for letters
should be provided and a plate for
calling cards. An umbrella stand Of
fers a splendid service.
When these details have been pro
vided. the hallway can be "dressed''
to suit the remainder of the home.
Simplicity should be the keynote OF
the foyer as gaudy decorations are out
of the pale of good taste.
