STYLES in Coats

Y The long and short OF the fashion
story SO far as coats, are concerned
may be told by two garments. the
cape coat and the cameps-hair coat.
Either Is adaptable for all women
The camel's-hair is better suited for
short women and has sufficient weight
and flare to make Its skirts swing
gracefully.

RIPLEY'S CORPORATION
 EXPOSE

It has been said, now that Charles W. Eliot is gone, New Englands intellectual leadership has eclipsed, and that not one mental giant, not one heretic of national prominence, remains. Those noble dlssenters of the past Emerson, Thoreau, Phillips Brooks. and the "other perturbed spirits that went to Brook Farm" - are catalogued; and it is said Eliot was the last man of mental hardness and individuality who stood out from the mass.
 But this must be a mistake. For instance, there is William z. Rip ley. of Harvard. Is there any writer of the present day who can cause more distress among those whom he spittles upon the sticks of his hot campfire? True, Ripley does not delve into Emersonian es- saying, does not deal in philoso- phy, idealism or the other delicate perfumes of the literary garden. But he deals blows that bring &C., tion. And that is something.
 Is there any man anywhere who can write a magazine article and create more of a ruction? Hardly. He Is at It again. For the second

Where they mere ly tend to cause people to hoard money 1t is difficult to see where there will be any difference in the total of wealth within the state, with the added difficulty of lessen ed trade. which inevitably brings with it unemployment.
 However. they are the cooks of their own dinners. The people in the United States are more or less surprised onlookers, thankful that conditions in this country are such as not to warrant any such cure alls, nor such intensive economy as to change our mode of life.

FLASHY LIGHIWEIGHTS

"Ace" Hudkins Of Nebraska and Phil NIcGraw of Detroit in 15 Round Fight.

New York, Aug. 27 P,-Two f1ashy lightweights from the west will mingle tonight at the Coney Island Stadium in bout that will go far in deciding the logical con- tender for the division crown now sported by Sammy Mandell of Chi cago.
 Ace" Hudkins, Nebraska whirl- wind, and Phil McGraw, the Greek from Detroit, are due to settle the question over the championship route of 5 rounds. Measured by the same standard, both have fought 10 round draws with Stanislaus Loayza, Chilean contender, although Hud kins' whirlwind finish against the South American and his knockout of Ruby Goldstein, New York idol, have made him a slight favorite. The Ne braskan expects to be at his best over the distance route.

SAVING EXPENSES
 IN ITALY

The Italian government, which means Mussolini, is occupied with saving expenses, just like any other government. Some try to do it one way and others in another. Musso- lini has been engaged in a battle to maintain the level of the lira, and were it not for somewhat similar efforts taking place in France in regard to the franc, the battle in Italy would be much more in the public limelight than has been the case heretofore.
 The latest ukase in Italy is that there are to be no elections in any of the cities, and thus all election expenses will be saved. Such econ- omy may seem like going to ex- tremes to the outsider, but there is no gainsaying that without cleo tions there will be just that much less money expended by the various civic governments affected.
 Italy has been looking after i'm portations, too; and everything that can be produced in Italy is to be encouraged, and everything that must be imported is discouraged as far as possible. That is one reason why the rules and regulations re- specting food were issued recently. There is no doubt that Italy could grow more of her own food is the people were led to eat more na- tive food products; Mussolini, at least, is making the effort in that direction.
 The situation is not dissimilar to that existing in France and Bel gium. The council of ministers in France has made a move toward putting the country on war IdlloHS' but the outlook for success does does not seem to be very bright because French temperament is not inclined to accept such inter- ference In personal affairs by the state. In Belgium, however, more success Is being achieved in the effort to encourage the use of black bread and the dlscarding of lux uries. Even the king is riding motorcycle instead Of an automo- bile.

THE CHIEFS DRIVE TO DRY UP CITY

Under the federal prohibition law enforcement thereof is largely left to civic and state officials, the federal enforcement officials con- centrating their efforts largely in the big cities. Although Connecti- cut from the first was lukewarm toward the 18th amendment and the volstead act, the latter never theless impinges a certain total of enforcement duties upon the states officials, both state and municipal, how much or how little depending largely upon local and official sentiment.
 It can scarcely be denied that in some cities of the state the dry law has been less strictly enforced than in others; and this has not been due so much to the attitude of officials toward the law as the conditions with which they were confronted. The dry law is much harder to enforce in some cities than in others. New Britain hap pens to be one of the cities, it is said, where 1t is more difficult to enforce than In some others of the states cities.
 The announced warfare against demon rum instituted by Chief of Police Hart, therefore, will be watched with much the same in terest that spectators yield to a sporting event. There is indeed, some element of chance in the ef- fort of the embattled police to wreck the business of the 'booze joints," as the headline writer pungently described the places where liquor Is supposed to be sold.
 The large scale upon which the announcement of the drive was made in itself will be a great aid to the police In drying up" the city - at least, for the present. The liquor-seller who would throw caution to the winds after reading of the designs of the police would be courageous indeed. A citizen who asked for bottle Of beer at his favorite bartender's late yes terday afternoon was given a stony glare instead. If the detec- tiyes can do any better they are welcome to the suds.
 But how long such a situation will last, is the question. If the police are actually intending to keep up this pressure then the conditions throughout some parts of the city are sure to change at least slightly.
 The psychology of the situation has been altogether in favor of tightening the screws somewhere: this much can be admitted without being for or against the campaign of dry cleaning. It can be said dis passionately and with some degree of truth that a good many of those who have been driving automobiles while intoxicated have had some thing to do with the new dispen- sation.

time within a few months he has shaken the pillars of Wall street, made the financiers tremble, af- fected the fortunes of the ticker, caused the captains of the money mart to talk reform.
 About six months ago he wrote an article on non-voting common shares, which caused such furore that the governors of the stock ex- change accepted the economists views.
 Now he has sharpened his lance and is jabbing its steel into an- other vital spot. He wishes the Federal Trade commission, under it's powers, to compel full corpora ton reports for the benefit of their stockholders and the public. Banks and common carriers, which do not come under the Jurisdiction of the commission, are not included in Ripley's criticism.
 Professor Ripley does not deal in generalities; he mentions names. And he specifically comments those who meet his views, notably the United States Steel corporation and General Motors, which he says are leaders in publicity of their financial affairs.
 His attack on companies which lump depreciation with operating expenses, or which make no refer ence to depreciation, is sharp. Such income statements, he says, are of no value. Corporations which he listed as indulging in this prac- tice are National Biscuit, General Outdoor Advertising, Mack Trucks, Dodge Brothers, National Cash Register and Goodyear Tire & Rub- Der.
 In regard to Dodge Brothers, the economist points out that s9o,ooo,- 900 in stock was sold with the statement it represented prospec- tive earning power, and this "good will'' Is carried on the books at s1. And on the liability side of the balance sheet Dodge Brothers, he declares, carries S5o,Ooo shares of s7 preference stock at s1 a share. The professors words are that this is an accounting monstrosity."
 The object of Professor Ripley's expose is to compel corporations indulging in "enigmatic" or camou- fiaged reports to yield more ade- quate reports to stockholders and the public, and the Federal Trade Commission has the power to do this. Professor Ripley also includes the sensational suggestion that such reports be made by outside investigators, limiting that reports made by the interested corpora tions themselves are bound to be defective in detail.
 But the Federal Trade Commis- sion has been made a conservative rubber-stamp organization during the present administration. It may not be willing to do too much. It is probable, however, that the cor porations themselves - those that come under the Ripley criticism may find 1t to their advantage to take the public into greater confi- dence. The public most certainly will be more inclined to scrutinize the reports as a result of Ripley's devastating portrayal than was its habit in the past; or better still, Wall street financiers may insist on complete reports.
 At any rate, the New England economist is likely to land another scalp for his belt.

the railroads have large, wide windows - similar to the kind in long, distance busses. The public is to be given more of chance to see things as we'll as 'get there." The New York Central has just or dered 150 of these new type coaches.
 But some little improvements are possible on all lines, to wit:
 Keep the windows clean. And keep them oiled so that they can be raised and lowered easily. by child or a woman as we'll as by male athlete.
 Keep the window curtains in re- pair, so that they can be raised and lowered in practice as well as in theory.
 Let the lavoratories In the coaches be cleaned oftener and more thoroughly.
 Let there be enough drinking water in the coolers to outlast a trip.
 Keep aisles and spaces between seats clean. Let a functionary use a broom oftener.
 Reduce the charges for food on trains. No need to soak the public 200 per cent more than reasonable rates merely because the public cannot escape and must eat. Many bring along their own sandwiches and fruit, even in the Pullmans, which leads to loss by caravansary companies.
 Don't be stingy with lights after nightfall. The public likes to. have enough light to read by. especially considering the efforts of news and magazine "butchers" 10 dispose of their product on the trains.
 Keep the springs on the coach trucks in repair, so that the coaches do not sag up and down unneces- sarily. No use in having a smooth roadbed if the springs cause coaches to stutter.
 On some railroads, notably the Pennsylvania, the conductor calls upon coach passengers to punch their tickets between every impor- tant white washed fence, often dis turbing their slumbers and creat- ing general irritation. Unnecessary. It might have been a good custom in 1840, but this is 1926.
 Lay the dust with oil on the gravel roadbeds. Some such road beds remain in New England and travellers carefully avoid them.
 Also wash the outside of coaches more than once in five years. Some coach exteriors seen rolling through New Britain look as if they have never been cleaned since the day they left the factory.
 Better and more frequent serv- ice. The gasoline motor coaches should be an aid in this particular. The public will be more satisfied with eight single gasoline coaches an hour between any two points than one train of eight coaches every hour, except in rush hours.
 The foregoing suggestions are handed to our s150,000 a year railroad roresidents free pf cbarpp
