Circuit Court By Astoniied I'm*. j Detroit, April 16.—1n denying a mo tion filed by the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flakes Company against the govern ment s petition for an injunction to re strain the company from* fixing the re sale price of its product, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in a de ision just filed in the district court here rules that the owner of a pat ented carton cannot dictate the selling price of the goods which the carton contains. , The government's petition, filed in December, IS 12, attacked the selling plan of the defendant cumpanv. stating that it specified the price which the f jobber, the wholesaler and the retailer 1 should charge for its product. Argil-, ments in the case were heard last July. In its motion to dismiss the govern : ment s jetition the Kellogg eompanv I contended that its ownership of a pat ent on the carton in< which its product i »as marketed gave it the right to fix the price of the product. NEW LIMXti FOR POTS Life of Utensil Prolonged Fifty Per cent, by Bee ent Discovery Pittsburgh, April Is.—Discovery of a new process for lining pots used in glass making, which, it is claimed, will prolong their life fifty per cent, and result in an annual saving of thousands | of dollars to the American glass in dustry, was announced to-dav bv the Mellon Institute of Research of the j University of Pittsburgh. At present t the cost of pots is very high, because of the intense heat to which they are subjected in the making of glass." It is estimated that a glass factory I operating two furnaces of fourteen pots each will save $7,000 a year through the use of the new pots* ami experi ments have shown that the quality of produced will be much better. The lining can be made from American : clay. Eager for Revenge Stage Manager—"You are to hH j the hero with this club in the last act." | Villain—"l don't think I can wait : that long.

Several propositions have been tentatively approved that ! will bring in about $6,400,000 more an f nually, and we hope so to arrange things that we can save a goodly sum by economy in State matters." The Governor's idea is that as the I income of the State faces a decrease the Legislature should enact laws to correct conditions. Further the Governor de sires that there shall 'be funds availabel for the $8,500,000 which the new Sproul bill would appropriate for the current two years' work ou highway l maintenance. As tabulated bv Attorney General Brown, the approximate receipts yearly from the new revenue raisers would be: -New anthracite tax, $4,600,000. Fifty per cent, increase iu automo bile license, fees, $600,000. Tax on stock transfers, $500,000. Relief from paying primary election expenses, SBOO,OOO. Total, $6,400,- 000. As to the bill providing for a tax on anthracite there is a difference of opin ion as to the percentage which should be returned to the coal counties. For that reason a conference will be held next Tuesday at which representatives of the eoal counties will discuss the matter with administration officials. The present bill provides that the State shall retain 66 2-3 per ceut, The coun ties want at least a 50-50 division. It is suggested as a compromise that the State retain 60 per ceut. and the comi ties receive 40 per cent., with the State paying the 1 per cent, for cost of col lect ious. The stock transfer tax contemplates a tax of two cents on each SIOO share ' transferred. New York receives $T>,- i 000,000 anliually from this source. Theu j it is proposed that an escheat bill be passed under the terms of which all un claimed moneys in banks would become i | the property of the State after ten years. This, of course, is an unknown quantity,"but it is believed that there > are millions of such funds throughout the State. The bill requires the officers ; of the banks to inform the State of all 1 unclaimed funds. Ami when the Attor- I ney General's office is reorganized into j a Department of Justice with all attor ! nevs employed by the Commonweal'h > : working under the direction of the At- j i tornev General, it is believed that J j escheats may be more readily and 1 I quickly realized. The plan to have the State carry i its own insurance, in all State property i will save SIOO,OOO annually in pre i miums. The bill to oblige relatives of i : so-called indigent insane to bear the : i expenses of maintaining the patients will, when enacted, open up a fruitful | !U-ld for saving ex, enses. As it is now i the State pays $2.50 a week for the keeping\>f each indigent insane person. I Often these patients have relatives who ! i could well afford to pay the charges, j Ohio realizes $500,000 annually from; j this source. 'Last week a bill was offered doubling the fees of automobile licenses. Such a protest was made that it is proposed to compromise on a fifty per cent, increase.i While no serious consideration is be-' ing given the snb.jeet at this time, it has ' been proposed that the State realize revenues from a State tax on real es- j tate. Tiie value of real estate in Penn- j sylvania is estimated to be $5,332,- 133.902. A one per cent, tax on that would supply $5,000,000 a year. «5 SAVED AS BOAT SINKS California Excursionists Fig&t for Life Preservers In Darkness San Francisco, April 16.—Sinking 1 ra, ; idiv while men, women and children passengers fought for life preservers, the excursion steamer Monarch raced toward shore early Wednesday in San Pablo bay.

OF INTEREST TV WOMEN NEW YORK OPENING OF AN INTERNATIONAL DESIGNER New Gowns Rich In Originality and Daring Color Effect®—Trimmings of Braid and Buttons—The Lin gerie Waists Coming to Front New York, April 12. —Two note worthy events took place in the New York world of fashion this last week. One was the Rower Show, the other was Duff-Gordon's opening. In Mer wonderful studio, with carefully arranged lights, her latest creations were exhibited to a few especially in vited guests- Her dresses are most original iu line and daring in color scheme, but she never errs in effect. A dress which showed strongly its Victorian influence was made of laven der silk, with closely-buttoned pointed bodice. A large fichu of softest maline whs draped arouud the shoulders, with ends hanging to the hem of the skirt, which stood well away from the figure in trulv crinoline effect. The bodice with poiuted front ap peared many times, ami in the evening gowns was accentuated by a dee-p V in the back, which sometimes extended to the waistline. A New Taffeta Smartly Trimmed in Black and White This Parisian and London designer j came here shortly after the war eom-; menced. In Fall she introduced a number of novel styles. One, the Tom-. my Atkins suit, has had unexpected, popularity, being copied and shown j with or without variations all over the: country. The charming dress which she de signed for Mrs. Vernon Castle, the dancer, has been a distinct innovation, i which showed the artistic skill of its I creator, rn applying a style to the in dividuality of its wearer. Another nov elty is the dress which is held slightly away from the figure by a reed, and lately she has introduced a Russian head dress. These last have not been accepted and whether they will or not time only can tell. Her collection showed a large va riety in the treatment of the skirt. For instance, a Persian dancing frock was! wired about the hips. A number showed ; pannier effects. A Louis Philippe model j wa« trimmed with two rows of ribbon j loops, and a Victorian model ha l a skirt laced part way down the front. 1 Tailored skirts have large patch pock ets on either hip. One skirt has a round j apron with a pocket on either side. In the back it was strapped below the j waistline with a belt. Altogether it was not unliko the leather aprons worn by iron-workers. At the Flower Show, the street and conservative afternoon costumes were in evidence and also many handsome motor wraps. There were numerous navy blue suits seeu and many in tho light colors, such as sand and beige. MUSTEROLE--QUICK RELIEF! NO BLISTER!

Black silk braid is used on sleeves, OH the back of the jacket, and on the hips of the skirt. Silver bnlUbut tons were used in conjunction with the braid. Taffeta is used over ami over again for evening and afternoon dresses — sometimes, elaborately trimmed with puffs and siiirriugs, flounces shirred on cords, or a series of straight or Mas ruffles from the high or normal waist line ta the bottom of the skirt. Afternoon dresses of voile are to bo seen with accordion-pleated skirts. One charming white dross was made with a series of box-pleats, the material accor dion-pleated between each pleat. Oth ers are shirred or smocked at intervals of two inches from the waist to below the hips. A simple an.i serviceable model de- A Dress Combining Taueta and Voile veloped in gray taffeta is shown in my illustration. The simple waist with three-quarter length bell sleeves is trimmed with black-and-white striped taffeta. A pointed girdle of the striped taffeta is used around the waist. The skirt is made with an upper section, which is almost short enough to be a yoke, to which the lower section is gathered. JThe hat worn with this dress is cliarmingly quaint and is made of very mo lern glared barn-straw and trimmed with field flowers and black velvet ribben. The second illustration shows a dress in the popular Combination of voile and taffeta. The voile is used for the bodice and for the upper part of the skirt, while the taffeta, which is the same color as the background of the voile, is cut into ruffles and applied one to the other. A jaunty little turban with a smart bow is the hat accompanying this dress. Morning dre.-ses are very simple, nnd made of medium weight linen, piquf and poplin and trimmed witli colore I hand-embroidery, the most fashionable •olor being khaki. A very fashionable material for the separate waist is white handkerchief linen with a broad colored stripe. This may be had in brown and white, blue and white, red and white, and utmost all the colors, and is distinctly smart as well as attractive. The lingerie waists are sbwly com tag to the front as Summer approaches These are simple in comparison to tin' lingerie waists we have had, but show the tendency toward a little more trim ming in the way of hand embroidery and lace. Some of the prettiest of these waists are trimmed with butter-colored lace, often filet or square-meshed Val enciennes. News from Paris «ays that quanti ties of narrow Valenciennes lace will be used oil the summer dresses. There i« certainly 110 daintier and sweeter way of trimming the simple frock of lawn or batiste. Swiss or organdy, than with lace-edged ruffles of the same material, together with tucks and insertion. Oth er simple Summer models of the above mentioned materials are trimmed with ruffles that are either hemmed with a very narrow hem, or not picot-edged. but with nothing else on the edge. This, of course, applies to very sheer ma terials. Among children's dresses dotted Swiss is taking a decided stand and i-i charmingly childish. An Kmplre frock untrimmed esce.pt for a narrow lace edge at the neck and the bottom of the short puffed sleeve with a two-inch beading at the waistline, through which a ribbon may be drawn, is charming for the small girl's Sunday-best or party frock. The Spring wrap for the little girl may be an Empire coat, of cashmere, gabardine voile, poplin, grosgrain silk or taffeta, according to what will tit into her wardrobe to the best advan tage. Also enpes are lieing shown majlo of the gayest colors, silk lined ami with a pointed hood at the back. The little girl's hat should be rather small this year either round in shape or in a poke-bonnet shape. These la.st are very pretty, especially if mado partly of straw and partly of cretonne. I saw a very petty one the other day made of a sand-colored straw and lined with a finely-figured cretonne, which was veiled with red chiffon. The top of the crown was of the cretonne also and veiled. Red velvet ribbon was placed around the crown and ended in A Dry Land Boat Bace A dry land boat race took place at some sports in t'he north of England last year and caused much merriment. The "crews" sit astride a pole and ran backward rbuod a course, steered by a "cox,'' who faces in the right direc tion.

How Busty Kettle* Were Cleaned An old fashioned recipe for cleaning the inside of a rusty kettle consisted in filling it to the brim with hay.
