under a Washington, D. C, date line announcing that

This rate reduction, coming from the republican
administration Immediately following the national re-
publican convention, will doubtless be regarded as
cheering news to the hard working people throughout
the territories mentioned. Especially will it be graf

down the shovel and the hoes and hang up the fiddle
and the bow and make a bee line for the domino and

checkers and dominoes that have been shipped in at a
reduced rate in order that the manufacturer Of these
important articles may make a little more clear money
in their sale.
1t should take their minds off the fact that only
recently this same commission refused to permit the
stockmen's cattle to be shipped at a lower rate and
the further fact that grain rates have not been reduced
and the rates on garden truck, including onions, pota-
toes and tomatoes are so high that there is little left
for the producer after they have reached the markets.
Raes on poultry and eggs, too, are higher than the
p~roverbial cats back, and while a reduction on these

AMERICAN MEN FOR AMERICAN SHIPS
Galveston Tribune).

NHaIFeston Irlbune).
"Why is it," asked a man who has sailed the seven
seas these many years, shat American sailors are not
hired on American ships?"
he went on 70 point out that while some American
sailors did have berths on shipping board vessels, the
crews usually were made up of foreign-born seamen.
He said these foreigners would work for less than an
American would and that they were less particular
about working conditions.
The seamen themselves know better than we could
hope to know whether this complaint is well founded
and we trust that many Of them read the Tribune. Per-
haps some Of them could spread enlightenment on the
subject.
It certainly would be far from patriotic and most
damaging to our merchant marine should American
shipping board vessels declare a boycott against Amer

Although there is general trend
towards a broader silhouette, it Is just
as important to dress your type.
There Is a tendency to depart almost
entirely from a straight line and in
troduce broader lines with puffs, pam
els, f1ounces and plaits. However, the
wise person will always suit the gen.
eral mode to her own individual pur-
poses. There is a strong movement
on in Paris to adapt the new fashions
to individual needs sartorially.
In general effect, the sports theme
is being replaced with subtle and
genuinely feminine outline. Although
the slenderness of past seasons will
not be abandoned, the entire trend is
toward figure with delicate curves.
The fashion of the moment Is to en-
phasize these curves but in no wise
encourage heaviness Of figure. The
feminine movement is stressed with
both draped and fluttering movements,
and it is wise to heed the call Of
fashion. But there have always been
certain types whose lines are best ex-
hibited in a sports theme, and these

which encircles the low waist. With
the peplum attached to the jacket,
the skirt has no other duty than to
remain plain and wrapped, though it
does sometimes have a deep circular
flounce bordering it, so that, with
the jacket on, the effect is that of
velvet dress with fiat fur collar and
cuffs and with two circular tiers max
ing up the skirt.
Another unusual feature of these
jacket suits is the general adoption
of gay sweater blouse to be worn
under the jacket. In most cases this
is really an ordinary, if extraordinarily
vivid, sweater, but in other cases 1t
is creation of brocaded lame or cut
velvet made to resemble a sweater
