ITO MOST women there is nothing
4 more fiattering than dash of
white to enliven the costume, be it
either in the form of fetching little
trimming details or worn in an acces-
sorry way. Wherefore, the prospects
are that the fair sex will be appear
ing at its loveliest during the COM
ing months, seeing that the new suits,
frocks and ensembles are being pretty
fed with the most winsome white &C
cents creative genius can devise.
There are so many phases of the
white vogue to be considered, one
scarcely knows where to begin to tell
the story. For instance, there are the
frothy little necklines which are max
ing even the simplest spring daytime
print and crepe, likewise sheer wool
en- frocks, take on infinite charm.
Masses of fittings, ruchings and
fine pleatings of sheerest organizes,
swisses, mousselines and nets make it
seem as if milady's spring hated head
was rising from out halo Of billowy
whiteness. Lace fixings, too, are law
ished about throat, shoulders and
arms as if to tell an admiring world
that fashions, this season, are going
decidedly feminine. Then there are
the new lace and net jabot blouses, it
is indeed winsome touch of white
which they are contributing to present
day modes.
In response to this hue and cry for
white the new suits are being adorably
trimmed with details of dainty white
fur or perhaps topped with neckpiece
of snow-white fur. A very attractive
suit which expects to go stepping in the
gay springtime is shown to the left in
the picture. The material which fash

cissus pseudo-narcissus, called also the
Lent lily. That they are not lilies,
but, like all narcissi, members Of the
amaryllis family, did not concern our
gardeners, says a writer in the New
York Herald Tribune, who knew but
a score or so species of flower that
in at least three centuries of cultiva-

full confusion that even botanists do
not agree about it, while simple visi-
tors to the flower show are driven to
adopt the plan Of calling daffodils, mar
cissi and jonquils all "narcissus,"
which is right and safe if not specific.

ACCURATE POWER
INFORMATION SEEN
Commissioner Says True
Facts Can Be Obtained
Outside Industry.

BY the Associated Press.
Preparing to embark on a Nation
wide power -urvey and electric rate
investigation, the Federal Power Com
mission today told the power industry
that If it failed to cooperate, sub
stantially accurate information would
be obtained in other places SO mo one
will be able to complain of any in
accuracy"
This statement was made by Com
missioner Basil Manly, in charge OF
the project, who said, however, that
most public and private establish
ments had promised their fullest
assistance.
Ordered by Roosevelt.
The power study was ordered last
August by President Roosevelt and
since then the commission has been
organizing a force to take care of 1t.
The rate inquiry only recently was
directed by Congress. The two will
proceed simultaneously.
The commission program has been
the subject of conferences here in the
past two weeks in which several of
the leading utility executives of the
country participated, and. Manly ex-
planned, both public and private
agencies agreed on the following
points:
THAT a survey of the Nations
power requirements and resources and
compilation of the rates charged for
electric light and power by municipal
and private plants is timely and
should be of interest not only to all
classes of consumers but helpful also
to the executives of public and private
plants in the future economic devel-
opment of the Nations power re-
sources.
Survey Nation Wide.
THAT the power survey and rate
investigation should be directed
toward an accurate determination OF
all pertinent and essential facts re-
garding the power industry in every
section of the country.
That the books, records and Spe-
cial studies of both public agencies
and private companies should be open
to inspection by the agents of the
commission and that full cooperation
should be accorded in the compilation
of the detailed statistics required for
the purposes of the power survey and
the rate investigation"

the project is unnecessary and would

ment's principal witness in the trial
Of Dunn and Berlin. They were

pating in the 81 800 brewery hold-up
In passing sentence. Justice Proctor
said:
Although might have some regret
in sending to prison for long time
two young men. yet I cannot close
my eyes to the fact Of their partici-
patton in a carefully planned robbery
by carefully organized gang.
There can be no doubt that men
VINO nave previously lived useful and
lawful lives do not become members
Of well-organized criminal gangs over
night. II for no other reason, this
is because the criminal gangs require
some proof OF previous criminal ex-
perience.
In considering all the evidence Of
this case. in its many aspects, I can
not fail to consider it one of the most
serious offenses against the robbery
statute that it is possible to conceive.
