THE BOOT AND SHOE TARIFF. Boot and shoe makers assembled in Boston are emphatic in their opinion that there should be no cutting of the | tariff which concerns their product, or leather and they are strongly opposed to any measure which would operate in that direction. That they have rea- son to be interested in such a possi- bility at this time is apparent from the fact that Representative Cox of Indiana has introduced a bill before consress to place on the free list shoes, boots and all leather. The harmful effect of any euch action as this on the part of the coming administration which is preparing for its tariff leg- islation is obvious. Naturally the manufacturers hava named a committee to appéar at the committee hearing, but it is not entire- 1y the manufacturers’ side which must be considered. There is also the wage earners to consider and their position is apparent when President Tobin of the Boot and Shoe Workers' union says: “To put shoes and finished leath- er on the free list, or to in any way reduce the present tariff, would ¢om- pel American shoe manufacturers to meet foreign competition through the only avenue open to them, namely, to attack the wages of the shoe workers and thereby bring about a standard of wages lower than at present exists, which would it in industrial war- fare and no doubt eventually establish the lower standard of wages, conse- quently the lower standard of living.” New England has particular interest in this line of manufacture and it lies among the workers as well as the man- ufacturers. orwich, Norwich, Monday, Ja WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER. How much better for William Rocke~ feller it would have been had he con- fided In Uncle Sam at the very start, declared that his health was such that to appear before the investigation com- mittee would place his life in jeopardy, and submitted to examination by doc- tors to prove it, than to have spent the last two months in worry and flight. Such a course would have elic— ited due sympathy and not appeared so much like a determined attempt to avoid giving his testimony. Whether he may have or mot such a course would have overcome the suspicion that he has Information which haq) wishes to keep from the knowledge ,of the committee and the country. He is justified In the protection of his health, but the course which he chose to adopt is a peculiar one, if it 1s his health alone which is the eause of it. It is true that there was a determin- ation to win on both sides, the sub- poena. servers golng to the limit of the law, but there was no reason for run- ning away from his country.. His con- dition was known during the period of the gearch, his attorneys were ae- quainted with it and vet they made no move on the real plausible ground of his 1llness, but allowed him to flee un- der the impression that his motive was to escape appearance before the Pujo committee. That he is now to return and submit to examination by physi- cians other than those he employs~is 2 move which should have been made months age and to his credit instead of being forced into it to his discredit. BASIS OF REPRESENTATION. There is a vast variety of opinions as to Mr. Munsey's proposal for get- ting the sections of the republican par- ty together and many of them adiffer from the edict as issued from Oyster Bay. - Though the “holding company” plan is not likely to be followed it is going to be a help towards the re- union of the factions and the con- stantly returning strength of the re- publican party. It is going to mean that a number of changes in the party will take place and among them to be taken, whether there is a combination or not, will be the adoption of a new basis of representation. It is time to reform the convention system, as was tried in 1908, but was defeated by only a small margin, It was tho Burke system which wag | under constderation at that time and it is the system which forms the im- portant basis of the change when made, The New York Tribune in advocating the retention of the delegates at large believes also that it would be best “to retain distinct and separate repre- sentation by districts applying certain rules to all. If a district in which 5,000 Tepublican votes were cast should hava one delegate, a district casting from 5,000 to 15,000 votes two delegates, a district casting from 15,000 to 25,000 votes, three delegates and a district casting more than 30,000 votes four delegates, substantial justice would be done and the voters of each unit would have a powerful incentive to increase their vote and their representation. Un- der such a plan skeleton party organ- izations like those in South Carolina, Florida. Georgia, Loulsiana and. Mis- issippi, containing no. district polling 2s many as 5,000 votes, would have four delegates-at-large—twenty in all— against ninety-eight iinder the present arrangement. Full recognition would be given those parts of the south in which there is a real party, and the other parts would merely lose their present fictitious representation.” Such a change being necessary tha best time to do it is in the near fu- ture that it can be getten out of the way. and the country adjusted to fit, without having any effect upon the next candidate of the party, or his selectién in the convention of 1916, To overcome the many cases of mis- understood affection, Massachusetts is to consider a bill requiring that pro- posals must be in writing lo consti- tate a contract. Such would shatter many dreams, but it would give the courts undeniable evidence In breach f promise cases. The seat of a progressive congress- man rrom Washington is being contest. ed on the ground that he spent $50,~ 000 for his election. Even the sus- picion of doing such a thing shoulda't rest upon a progressive. Happy thought for today: Finnegan :: been outdone. It'e in I go, out h will open on the March, and none more so than the isfying of the demands of the south in the apporflonment of the spoils of office. When it comes to filling vacan- cles it i3 natural to suppose that the next president will make democratic appointments but when it comes to reimbursing the ‘south for its efforts to disrupt the nation fifty years ago it is making politics back up something ‘which the country and the government long ago refused to Sanction. This is being sought in a bill introduced by Mr. du Pont seeking to reimburse the Virginia Military Institute for the des- truction of portions of its property in 1864 by forces of the government un- der General Hunter. This institute has always been an important military center. It was in the Civil war and sent out a full corps of cadets to give battle to Union forces on more than one occasion and was the training school for the officers of the southern forces. It was following the attack upon the federals that it was destroyed. That there should be a relmbursement for it as a repara- tion” for the damages done there in time of war is for the government to continue the policy wherever there was destruction of property and restore fortifications; That the Institute is an important one and government aid could profitably be given it is unde- niable but that it should be given as a reimbursement is not the proper pol- icy. OVERCOMING THE ICEBERGS. There is much to commend in the giving of prompt attention to the ap- pearance of numerous large iqebergs in the lanes of steamship travel. They are always a menace to ocean travel and not only warning of their presence but attempts to keep out of their com- pany as far as possible will operate for the greatest safety in crossing the ocean. The lesson of the Titanic is too fresh in mind to be forgotten within a year and the fact that its influence is causing efforts to overcome iis rep- etition is indicative of the profit there. from to those who operate or have influence in operating ocean liners. The iceberg danger is one which we cannot afford to overlook. It is a men- ace to all kinds of shipping and while the extensive equipment of vessels with the wireless ig proving .of most val- uable service the greatest satisfaction derivable from the situation is that the steamship companies are inclined to pay attention to the peril and as far as possible steer clear of it, rather than take. the chances of plowing through the big floes, and endanger the lives of the passengers and crew and the valuable vessel and cargo, The government is to play an im- pértant part in endeavoring to over- ¢ome this menace by the detalling of two cruisers to patrol the danger zone and inform the ocean trafic of the presence of the bergs during the period when -they are far enough south to cause havoe. This is gervice which puts to good use the government ves- eels and renders an immensely im- portant aid to transatlantic trafic. The Tifanic scare promises to have its ef- fect for some time to come. EDITORIAL NOTES. In attacking the Payne-Aldrich bill the democrats promise to cut the name out at least. The quadrennial session of the elec- toral” college opens today. A larger class than ever will be present. If New York could get its chance in reform as easily as it did In base- ball it would be money well spent. This is the season of the yvear when the swatting of the fiy can really make some diminution in the num- ber. The ashes of an Illinols man wera forwarded between citles by parcels ‘post. That is practicing economy with a_vengeance. The example of Col. Bryan in de- claring Governor Wilson owes nothing is one which few are apt to follow. creditors Frank Chance is already making big promises about the Yankees. Nothing stimulates such statements like fat sal- | aries. Money talk Rhode Island interested in the track outiook—not that of the cillege athletes, however, but of the Southeérn New England railroad, Roumania is breaking her silence at a time which is most inopportune for the peace terms. By increasing Bul- gari@’s troubles it is holding out hope to Turkey. Governor Sulzer of New York has changed the name of the “executive mansion” to “The People’s House.” It n't recalied thdt Jefferson ever made use of such a tefm. Roosevelt thinks it outrageous ta punish anyone for contempt of court. but it is easy to imagine what would happen to the man who showed con- tempt for Roosevelt Senator Borah hits the bhullseve when he declares for principles first and or- ganization later, and maintalns that the republican party is progressive by a very large majority. Running a national bank in New York, according to the testimony be- fore the Pujo committee seems: to be as remunerative as operating oil eom- bines and gold mines. Roosevelt as was to be expacted de- nounced Munsey's “holding company” plan for getting the parties together. The colonel might have repeated his Chicago utterance: “I am the compro- mise.” Congress is to be asked to indemnify these who though innocent serve pris- on terms. If pleas in court are to be taken as a basls for such claims such a fund would soon outdistance the pensions. Having reached the south pole first Amundsen is not satisfied. He lonzs for more poles to locate and will spend six vears proving his faith in Peary and getting second honors at the other end of the earth.

The proper ‘way to air a bed, if you are opposed to removin~ the bedclothes from the bed, is to throw the sheets over the footboard across a chair placed to keep them off the floor, and then lift the mattress in the middle, tilting it up so that the air passes under and over it. One-half hour of this will thoroughly air the bed, the windows to be open all the time, of course.\ In making up the bed, shake the sheets well as they are put in place. You will then have a tidy fresh bed and an orderly room soon after you are dressed. Thig will help make your housekeeping e: 0 EMBROIDERY TOUCHES. Taffeta frocks are seen with hea: embroidery worked upon the stuff, glving a touch of novelty to a material Wwhich was becoming too ordinary. One of changeable taffeta mauve and blue, with embroideries, accentuated those colors. Worn by a brunette, this was very effdctive. Whether these odd yet graceful robes of taffeta the long or short, in some way the droop—the long, pointed black effect—is seen, even if only in an old-fashioned basaue, short in front and long behind. The manikins accentuate these effects by the way they carry themseWes—a curiously graceful affectation of awk- wardness. THE SUEDE COLLAR SET. In every color, but particularly in gray and in vivid scarlet, collar, cuff and belt sets are being produced. The material used is suede and the collar and cufts are of the old-world round- head pattern. The collar turns down and the cuffs turn up, while the beit is straight and excessively neat. To be worn with the country tweed or serge suit the new sets are admirably adapted. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. An equally speedy headache cure i made by saqueezing the juice of half & lemon and half a teaspoonful of soda into half a glass of water, either hot or cold. If an infant’s food agrees with it, and it thrives pro})erly, it should In. créase in weight from three-quarters of an ounce to one ounce per day during the first six month: A safe and quick remedy for indi- gestion, heartburn and simflar ills is fo mix half a teaspoonful of baking soda with the same amount of pow- dered magnesia and dissolve it in a half cup of water. This may be cold, but acts more quickly when hot. To make a grandmother’s gargle for sore throat, take a half pint of very two tablespoonfuls each of strained honey, common salt and strong vinegar; one rounding teaspoonful of cayenre (pulverized) | steeping the cayenne with the sage. | Strain, mix and bottle for use, gargling from four to five times daily, accord- ing to the severity of the case. | strong sage tea, For those who suffer during the cold | weather with overly dry hands that get : soiled continuously the following reme- dy is recommended: First, wash the hands in warm water and plenty of soap and dry thoroughly; then give them a bath in olive ofl, rubbing the oil well into every part of the hands until the skin can heold no more. Finally wipe off the surplus oil with a soft cloth so that the hands are quite dry again. This treatment applied every day or two during the cold weather will be found very beneiicial. If, after sitting for a while at em- broidery or other needlework, be it fine or Coarse, your eyes and back be- gin to feel tired, dom't “sag over” or tuck a pillow behind ‘the small of the | back, which comes to the same thing; | instead, try putting the pillow on your lap. Choose a good fat one, and rest | both arme and work upon it. The {change of positlon acts upon the ! shoulders and spine, relaxing the mus- cles, and the slightly altered focus at {once relleves the strained feeling of | the eves, thus easin~ the work in both directions. RETURN OF THE DOLMAN. From somewhere on the ashes of other dead things there has returned to us the dolman. Not precisely the model of the '80s, but with some sim- ilitude to that wrap—the adored of the middle aged—fashioned in broche or velvet. For the revival velvet is the chosen fabric, preferebly in a vivid tone, tempered by a collar of dark fur, the pelt, however, not ocurring else- where. They are quite full half length; these dolmans, and the gleeves emerge mys- teriously from the back, being carried to within a short distance of the wrist, and then caught into a_modish cuff, ' One reason—and it seems to be | @ood—given for the reappearance of | this manteau is the affinity it bears to i the panniered gown, the two marrying | most happily. 1 JET REVIVED. A suit of the lonz smart coverall of velours delaine seems as inevitahle just now as a fresh black evening -fréck. ! And to remark on some black evening | frocks seen lately there appears to be a revival of jet, mere or less serious this time. Strings of cabochons (about the size of a cent) are noticed on va- rious frocks of transparent black over white, and en a clinglng skirt thia trimming seems to make the frock cling even more closely to the figure, DICTATES OF FASHION, Laces show new weaves that sug- gest & combination of old designs. | The principal feature of the hats this season are the @eft erowns. e TR LY R | i even on the side.. e g frocks in Paris.

On .some of the one piece frocks made of silk or cotton the lace or em- broidered linen collars are finished off in strange ways, running down under a girdle to form coat talls, falling in loose panels or turned up to make hoods. Comparatively small roll col- lars are much used, even on very dressy focks. When a coat is to ren- der the tollet a three piece costume the collar is usually fixed on the corsage and the coat is collarless. HINTS TO EMBROIDERERS. To insure smooth, even work, after drawing the thread from the gkein, pass it lightly between the forefinger and the thumb to make sure which ‘way the twist runs. Now insert the thread in the needle, 80 that the twist seems to run down- ward, This gives great smoothness in the finished work, for If the opposite L el AT IR T R R R A _or in the front, or .

It causes finished work to have a rough ap- . ~Fasten the thread by run- ning it for several stitches t i the cloth or sewing it over.and over on s0; portion the material that e i3 to be coveréd by the work. In finishing a needleful of silk, fast- en it in the same way, always cutting it short, ‘so it will not work te the surface and give a ragged appearance. Never bite off the silk; clip it near to the cloth with a pair of sharp scis- sors. When working floral designs the leaf | or petal that laps under another part of the design should be worked first. A simple method of working leaves or | petal§ is t0 begin at the apex, and! after making a line of stitches down | the center, work to the right until that | half is filled In; then fill in the left half, going back to the apex again to ‘begin. N e | When the work requires delicate shading, begin at the base and grad- ' ually work upward on the whole leaf, or petal, unti] it is completed. Some people outline the veinings first, but a better way i sto put such vening as may be necessary in last over the com- pleted work. To mark the outlines of leaves and flowers, run a single row of outline stitching around the edge. This treat- ment raises the work and develops its . lights and shadows; but where high lights are desired the padding must be thick but soft, worked with strands of | darning cotton. | RECIPES.

Gray Hair Turns lts Natural Color After Applying Sage Tea Mixed With Sulphur It Dark- ens Beautifully and Takes Off Dandruff. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound- ed, brings back the patural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also cures dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays skilled chemists do ghis better “than ourselves. By asking at any drug store for the ready-to-use and product—called “Wyeth's Sage Sulphur Hair Remedy”—you will large bottle for about 50 cents. Some druggists make their own, but it's usually tee sticky, so insist upon get- | ting “Wyeth’s,” which can be depended | upon to restore = natural color and | beauty to the halr and is the best rem- | edy for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy | scalp and to stop falling hair. Folks ltke “Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur” because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly, says a well known downtown druggist. You dampen a sponge or soft brush and dravw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This requires but a few moments; by morning the | gray hair disappears and after another | application or two is restored. to its | natural color and looks even more beautiful and elossy than ever.
