Buttons ON Mems Sleeves

Buttons on mems sleeves is an or.
nament of fashion of which the origin
is unknown. but one story says the
practice began with the Prussian king,
Frederick the Great. He Is supposed
to have ordered a row Of buttons
sewed on the upper side of his army's
coat sleeves In order to prevent the
soldiers from wiping their faces with
their sleeves, thus soiling their uni
forms. Later, the buttons were shift
ed to the side of the sleeves and be-
came q matter of style.

IiluLucu Will Lux IHlS StdSOus
according to the present ways
of fashion, it Is not too lavishly
furred. The same is true of the
new separate fur pieces and
ssets" which include muffs, the
more sumptuous and the more spectac-
ular the better do they interpret the
latest style trends.
The big theme among furriers this
season is capes-capes that are made
of furs so gorgeous and grand they
look worth kings ransom. To illus
trate, see the cape centered in the pic
ture. This luxurious silver fox cape is
semi-circular in shape, fastens on the
left shoulder and has four tails falling
to the back. The beauty of capes such
as this is that they can be worn with
different costumes, imparting an air of
distinction wherever they go. Of
course, we do not have to call atten-
ton to the attractive evening gloves
which this lady is wearing, for no
doubt they registered at first glance.
They are of white suede, shirred in an
openwork pattern as you see.
The separate cape theme is by no
means confined to evening fashions; on
the contrary, the newest thing going
in the way Of fur piece is the fur
cape which can be worn with either
the cloth coat or the dress, if you pre-.
fer, which is made of a wintry good
looking wooden. The idea is convened
in the stunning outfit to the right in
the group. Here is something practi-
cal and smart. The color of this SUI
perb Russian lynx which forms the
cape, blends in with the tone of the
cloth to perfection. A particularly lik-
able feature of this handsome cape is
that while it is really separate piece,
it looks as if it were really an applied
trimming. When you stop to think of
it, what a worthwhile possession a
separate fur cape such as this is
wear it with anything, dress, coat or

Federal Pay Restoration

cut not only would help Govern

That is why Representative
Henry Arens (F.-L) of Mime

place, he said today, and if the
independent offices supply bill
comes back from the Senate with
the pay cut eliminated he will
vote to concur in the amend

said:
"The farmer can't be helped
until the working man is earn
ing enough money to buy farm
products. am q farmer and
naturally I want to see those
steps taken which will raise
farm prices to the level where
they belong"

IN his State legislature, eight
years in the State senate, and
two years as lieutenant governor
he was elected to the present
Congress.
Different reasons are given by
Representative Charles I. Faddis
Cd, Of Pennsylvania, for elimi
mating the cut:

restoration because il strikes me
as being very inconsistent on
the part Of the Government to
urge individual firms to raise
wages and yet reduce its own

MORGAN s BANK

La Toilette Says Financier
Fights to Protect High Rates
of His Utilities
BY international News Service


The House Of Morgan is the
real chief opponent Of the st.
Lawrence waterway, Senator La
Toilette (R0 ofIWiSconsin charged
in an address to the Senate late
today.
The Morgan firm, to protect its
huge utility and railroad inter-
eSts, is not only seeking to pre-
vent ratification of the st. Law
renee treaty, but Is trying to de-
stroy the administration Of PreSi-
dent Roosevelt, he asserted.
Competition Feared
The Morgan interests, accord
ing to La Toilette, object to the
threatened development Of 1,100,-
600 horsepower Of electricity
from the waterway by a public
agency to compete with their
power and utility companies. He
listed the Niagara Hudson Cor
poration and the Niagara Hud-
son Power Corporation as the
Morgan-controlled utility com.
panieS.
]. P. Morgan and Company
also is the fiscal agent for the
New York Central and Michigan
Central railroads and other roads
running parallel to and compet-
ing with the seaway, La Toilette
said.
Maintenance Of "extortionate
utility rates" is a motive behind
the Morgan opposition to the
Seaway. he said.
Utilities Figures FIayed
The Presidents message to the
Senate, with accompanying data
from governmental agencies, has
shed light on the situation, &C.
cording to La Toilette. He said
of figures presented by treaty op'
ponents:
"This vast accumulation Of
misinfOrmatiOn and untruth has
now been thrown into the rub
bish heap. The time has gone
by when the Senate can be
asked to accept padded cost
estimates and briefs prepared
by public utility and railroad
lobbyists in preference to off,
cial figures from such agencies
a the Corps Of Engineers and
the Federal Power Commission,
authenticated by the President"
Senator Lewis CDO Of Illinois,
who has bitterly assailed the
treaty, Is viewing the project
"fron the narrow interests Of the
Chicago sanitary district" La Fol-
lette said.
The transportation saving IN
foreign commerce alone from the
st. Lawrence seaway will be sew
