Regulating the Styles.
(New York World.)


 It is somewhat naive view of things. of course which is indicated by the resolution passed the other day by the Womens Club of Forest Hills calling the Federation of Womens Clubs to devise method whereby a few women of taste and judg- ment may consult with the fashion trust" as to the styles that women will For there is no such fashion trust this resolution posits all that exists is group of designers offering wares that they hope women will buy Furthermore, even if there such trust, it is hard to see how censorship board, representing women customers could exercise much control over it. All that such a board could do, in the nature of things would be to accept this model and reject that; so long as the creative function exercised by the trust it could still dictate what would be worn.
 Nevertheless, this is not the first complaint of its sort to be voiced Another, identical with it, made in New York some time ago; such things show the way the wind is blowing The truth is that women not wholly satisfied with the styles that have been offered them recently and particularly since the long skirt has been again placed on sale. Many of them have refused to wear it. So that one wonders whether dress de- sgners well advised in the trend they have taken. In the long run it would seem good plan to give women clothes that they want rather than clothes which designers want them to want,

 Mr. Budd started his career as a rodman in he employ of the Great Northern in 1899. Three years later he joined the engineering staff of the Rock Island System and during the next four years was promoted to roadmaster and division engineer In 1906 he went to Panama with John F. Stevens, chief engineer of the Canal There he rebuilt the Panama Railroad double and triple tracking it. He remained in the Canal Zone until 1909
 Next he went to the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway with MT. Stevens. In 1919 he suc- ceeded Louis J. Hill as President of the Great Northern. In his selection by the Soviet and his acceptance the Russians get one of Americas fore most rail engineers and executives His task in Russia is a gigantic one, but given authority and funds, it should not tax his genius greatly to produce for that nation a modern and in every way efficient system of railroads.

What Premier Macdonald par,
ticularly desires, and in this he is
backed by Secretary of State
Stimson, is that polemics should
be avoided, and it is for this
reason that both the British and
American chief delegates Steered
clear of controversial issues at
yesterdays palace session.
Premier Tardieu lost no time
in bringing the claims and needs
of his country before the confer.
ence, but Secretary StimSon was
satisfied with a brief statement
in which he said that America S
wishes for parity with great Brit
ain had been favorably received

Gus issues were avoided. The
conference got actually underway
in an atmosphere of perfect har-
mony, eXemplified by sthe abSo-

mony which Macdonald and

though it means months of ted

How long this 'pussyfooting"
will continue is impossible to

much progress is made at these

will be some weeks is conceded.
