The latest version of the English
felt hat ha3 a handle fixed over the
crown. Since the majority of these
hats are brimless, or virtually so, and
since a woman does not touch the
crown of her hat when removing it,
it might be suspected the handle is
for some useful purpose. But it is
only decorative.

REVISION RAILROAD
RATE STRUCTURE IS
SEEN FOR THEWEST
OMAHA, Jan 7. (/P)—Revision of
the railroad rate structure of the mid
dle west and far west looms as the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
state public utility bodies prepare
for hearings on the western trunk line
class rate situation, the first of which
will be held here January 11 before
the I. C. examiners.
The largest cooperative case ever
undertaken jointly by the I. C. C. and
state commissions, its discussions is
expected to affect business of all kinds
located in this region, in the opinion
of U. G. Powell, rate expert of the
Nebraska Railway commission, and a
member of the rate committee of the
National association of public utility
commisions.
The western trunk line territory
has been outlined by the national
commission to include Illinois, Wiscon
sin, the upper peninsula of Michigan,
Missouri (north of the Missouri riv
er), Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebras
ka, South Dakota, North Dakota, Col
orado (east of a line, Trinidad to Pue
bio, Denver to Cheyenne) and that
portion of eastern Wyoming east of a
line, Cheyenne to Casper to Sheri
dan.
The affect of transportation centers
will depend to a considerable degree
on how the I. C. C. applies whatever
schedule of distance rates it may
adopt from points of origin to destina
tions. There are now large group
points of origin illustrated by the Chi
cago group which covers an extreme
territory of approximately 100 miles
in length and fifty miles wide. If the
scale the commission finally adopts
should be laid down as an absolute
distance tariff and the carriers not
be authorized to make groups of
points of origin the effect will be to
disrupt the parity of class rates that
now exist in the eastern part of the
western trunk line territory, declar
ed Mr. Powell.
! Final effect on interstate rates may
j be quite pronounced, he said. If it
should finally be the decision of the
interstate body that the interstate
scale adopted by them should be used
by states in western territory as a
maximum and minmum scale the ef
fect in some of the states will be to
raise very materially, possibly as
much as fifty per cent in Illinois, Iowa
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
“Every effort is being made to agree
on as many of the controverted points
to come up at the hearing, as possi
ble,” said the rate expert. “Shippers
are cooperating and it is hoped at
the record finally submitted to the
commission will be much more com
prehensive than any they have ever
received on a large class rate adjust
ment.”
“For two years,” he continued, “a
committee of traffic experts repre
senting shippers in western -trunk
line territory have conferred many
times with the railroads in the hope
that a class rate scale might be
agreed to and thereby obviate the
necessity of an order from the I. C. C.
The last scale of class rates presented
to the shippers’ committee by the
carriers would have the effect of in
creasing rates from the Chicago group
to stations as far west as the Mis- {
souri river in different degrees as be
tween various classes.
“A study made, based on distances
of 50 to 500 miles on 50 mile grada
tion from Chicago to Kansas City,
i Chicago to Omaha, and Chicago to
Minneapolis, shows that the last scale
proposed by the carriers would have
the effect of raising class rates vary
ing from 14 per cent in class one to
sixteen per cent in class five.”
Fur waistcoats and mittens for af
ternoon wear have appeared on Pic
cadilly and along Oxford street. The
mittens are made of supple short
lengthed fur. On chilly days the
waistcoat is slipped over velvet frocks.
Women are wearing the fur waistcoats
to afternoon bridge parties instead of
brocade coatees. The waistcoats are
made sometimes from inexpensive er
mine-dyed rabbit; again from mole
skin.
A revival of feminine interest in In
dian bead trimming, has inspired the
fashionable duplicates of the native
belts and necklaces with pearls and
other precious stones.
