WEARING FRENCH UNIFORM
Paris. April 16. 5.20 A. M.—iAn in

charge of wearing the uniform of the •

The identity of Baeyens is something

CAN T FIX SELLING PRICE
Motion of Kellogg Company Denied in
*l. S. 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

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.

TENTATIVE PLANS MADE FOR
I $6,400.000 MORE REVENUE
I Governor And Men at Head of Finance
Committees of Legislature Evolve
Methods of Obtaining Funds to Off
set Decrease In State's Receipts
"I have had a conference with the
I joint legislative committee, the chair
' meu of the Appropriations tWrnmitteeg
! and the meu at the head of the finance
j committees." said Governor Brumbaugh
last night, "the object 'being to raise
more revenue. 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.

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.

A dress of sand-colored covert was
trimmed with black satin collar and
revers. 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

placed around the crown and ended in
A Dry Land Boat Bace
A dry land boat race took place at

last year and caused much merriment.

backward rbuod a course, steered by a
"cox,'' who faces in the right direc

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. As
much water as it will hold should then
be poured over the- top, the kettle
placed on the fire and boiled for several
hours, more water 'being added when
required.
