WOMEN NOW PREFER
DOUBLE-DUTY DRESS

Two dresses have always been bet
ter than one, but now women prefer,
above all, the single dress that lis
really two. Transformable clothes
originally an experiment to test out
the possibility of thrifty fashions
have become big successes.
The fine feature OF the transform
able clothes Is the fact that there
Is hardly an evidence of their double
duty background.
Time was when transformation
dress showed Its taking apart qualities
at first glance; nowadays hardly a
dress goes by In any fashion parade
that doesn't look as II 1t might be
taken apart and observation-disclosures
the dress which has this as Its purpose
Is not set apart from others In any
way.

Designers Making Much
of All-Bei0e Costumes

Designers are making much OF the
all-beige costume as an advance spring
fashion. Introduced In midwlnter,
the first beiges planned for 1898 were
of darker tinge than usual. Many
OF them had a greenish cast, or were
crosses between beiges and grays.
The current popularity In beIges
leans toward lighter, paler shades.
Many of the beige costumes shown In
the better dressmakers are actually
a deep, cream color, or lean toward
pale yellow. One of the ,favorites IL
a very light beige that approximates
the most delicate tones In baby lynx
furs.

Opposition to the senate action to
cut state officers salaries was led in
the house by Greene of Fergus coun-
ty, who pointed out to the senate
that under all the state salary reduc-
ton bills proposed, person paying
taxes on $4,000 worth of property
would save but cents. He argued
that most, of the measures could not
become effective for two years, others
for four years, and suggested that
"within two years either the depres-
sion clouds will be gone or no one
will be getting any salary"

An effort to relieve the farmer of
d temporary outlay OF money stirred
the senate during its final session. A
majority of the taxation committee
reported unfavorably on bill to re-
lieve the farmer of the necessity of
paying the gasoline tax by issuing
him a certificate of exemption. Kel-
seq OF Powder River made plea for
the bill, pointing out that the present
law merely ties up the farmers cash
for several weeks He asserted that
many farmers are finding difficulty
in getting money to buy gasoline, even
without the tax.

one-third the tax load on real prop

house of representatives approved
three measures designed to increase
the states income. One of these was
the income tax bill, providing exempt

married persons Of $4,000. Another of
the measures recommended for pas

Advice to Business Men

Every business man in America
ought to ponder over the remarks
made recently before the Merchant
Association Of New York by Donald
R. Richberg, general counsel for the
governments administration.
There is no choice presented to
American business between intelli-
gently planned and controlled indus
trial operations and a return to the
gold-plated anarchy that was masked
as rugged individualism,'" said Mr..
Richberg. There is only the choice
presented between private and pub
lie election Of the directors Of indus
try.
If the privately elected boards Of
directors and the privately-chosen
managers OF industry undertake their
task and fulfill their responsibility,
they will end all talk of relationships
and government control Of business.
But II they hold back and waste these
precious hours, if they take counsel
with prejudice and doubt, II they
tumble their great opportunity, they
may suddenly find that it has gone
| forever"

They have found that most such

A Dogs Life-and Ours

A citizen set out the other day to
buy a dog; and he remarked that
mankind loves dogs because dogs
have so many human virtues.
That is the way we commonly look
at It; but it is quite possible that the
real reason we love dogs is because
they have so many human frailties.
Everyone who has ever owned dog
knows that dog can win his mas
ter's affections most surely by dis
playing qualities that aren't ordinar-
lily classed as virtues. A dog can be
a braggart, buffer, Falstaffian
kind of coward, afraid of his own
shadow, but hiding 1t by a great
show of loud-voiced valor; he can be
jealous, deceitful, arrogant, design
ing and stupid; and in most cases We
love him all the more for it.
To be sure, he also wins us by his
fidelity. But what really wraps our
about him is usually our
realization that he Is, like ourselves,
a frail vessel filled with the minor
vices OF an imperfect world.

STILL MORE IRON FOR Still

WOMEN

Our talk extolling the virtue of
plain Old Fashioned Iron for Pale
Weak Women" given here recently,
elected a spirited reaction, though
not what we anticipated. In the talk
we gave the consensus of modern
medical opinion and experience on
the superiority Of old-fashioned In
organic iron over the hifalutin and
high priced newfangled organic iron
compounds, in the treatment of
anemia. We included a simple recipe
which has proved efficacious in the
treatment Of primary hypochromic
anemia, a type Of blood deficiency
occurring commonly in pale, weak
women who are little short Of
breath, have poor appetite. and COM
plain Of sense OF fulness In the
abdomen. Women with this form Of
anemia (hypochromic means the pro-
portion of coloring matter, hemoglo-
bin, in the blood Is low are likely
to have brittle nails, dryness and pre-
mature grazing of the hair, and sore
ness or burning of the tongue.
Whoa there-what do you think
this Is? A blooming quack circular?
AS it is, a lot of women who happen
to have few Of the symptoms men
toned, will probably try the medicine
anyhow. Well. even If they have nc
anemia it will do them no harm.
The medicine suggested Is a solu-
ton of one ounce of iron and am
monium citrate in four ounces Of wa

times a day for two or three months

$50 Years of Flight
minneapolis Tribune)

When Colonel Roscoe Turner raced
across the country the other day
from New York to Los Angeles in II
hours and 80 minutes, he did more
than set transcontinental record.
He emphasized, albeit unwittingly,
the tremendous progress man has
made in the field Of aeronautics in
$50 years. For Colonel Turner made
his spectacular dash in a year which
is regarded, by many, as the sesqui-
centennial Of flight. It was in 1888
that man first took to the air in q
balloon and managed to stay there
with some degree Of success. It was
In June Of that year that the Mont
golfer brothers, Stephen and Joseph,
built hot air balloon with capa-
city of 23,430 cubic feet, after many
minor experiments, and sent it 5000
feet into. the air, The hot air was
generated by burning wool and straw
In pit beneath the mouth Of the
huge bag. To the crowd which wit
messed the flight, and 1t was one
which fairly boiled with excitement,
the easiest explanation of the ascent
lay in the word magic"
In August two other brothers, Rob-
erts and J. A. G. Charles, managed to
initiate balloon with the highly in
flammable hydrogen In Paris and it
finally came to rooSt at Concise, Is
miles distant. On October IS, 1888,
the Montgolfiers persuaded a young
man named Jean Francois Pilatre de
Rozier to go aloft in q tethered bal
| loon. De Rozier rose to a height OF
81 feet and stayed in the air nearly
five minutes. Previous to this Joseph
Montgolfier's scientific instincts had
led him to place a rooster, a duck
and sheep in a small bag beneath q
balloon and send them into the air,
the strange triumvirate travelling q
mile and half before making a sue
cessful landing.
In November De Rozier, accom-
panied by the Marquis d'Arlandes,
made what is believed to be the first
cross-country flight in history, drift
ing across Paris In q balloon which
remained aloft as result Of straw
burned on CRATE suspended below
1t. These intrepid balloonists not
only had to feed the fire with straw;
they were equipped with wet sponges
with which they were obliged to put
out fires in the fabric from time te
time.
Altogether, there is good reason 70,
considering 1888 as an extremely i'm
portant one In the history OF aero
nautics; and It Is probably fittine
that Colonel Turner, by streakina
across the American continent at or
average speed Of 2l9 miles an hour
should have called attention to the
amazing strides that have been made
in the $50 years which separate u.
from the crude experiments of tt<
Montgolfiers.
