Back to Petticoats Again; So Rules Milady America FMINTNE America has issued her dictum. The petticoat rules again. No more abbreviated skirt which more than half reveals and discloses. No more ankle length dress to supplement the work of the street cleaning bureau. Eight Inches above tho pa veronal and a petticoat for safety. 80 an nounced sensible Milady America, or words to that effect. Anyhow, that Is the way they will wear them this fall. Not high! Not low! Just medium length with a petticoat beneath. A blow, that, to Paris and Main Street Paris declared for the sweeping skirt and lost her stran glehold on American fashion. Main Street undertook a defense of the ballet-length type and ridicule over whelmed her. She Is out in the al ley today trying to pull the scanty length down over her exposed knees. No more bloomers to clamp an Inch?or maybe less?above the edge of an abbreviated skirt. "Darn the unmentionables; we accept no substitutes," was the rallying cry mpt pypry designer who of fered a compromise. Milady Amer ica stuck to her guns, or her skirt length, and won. Ii takes but a glanco In the knitting mills to prove It. A booming season this?for petti coats. Not the flannel ones mother wore. Passe those, yea, these many years. Cotton, or cotton and worst ed, or all worsted go Into milady's petticoat today. The petticoat rules! Does it lead to petticoat rule? Well, have it that way If you will. What is an article and an 'V between friends? TARIFF CONGRESS NOW IN SESSION Nonpartisan in Character Is First Meeting of Producers in West to Consider the Turiff Question. Denver, Colo., Oct. 3.?John M. Parker, Governor of Louisianna. a Democrat, addressing the Western Tariff Congress hero today, declared "the tariff question is more important than ever before in our history and should not be made a football for designing politicians." He charged that "our law-makers overlook the tact that the greatest assets ttiday in America are our farmers and our farming people," and declared him self in lavor of a tariff that will pro tect the American producers. The-Governor suld in part: "I am a protectionist. I believe in the tariff and that It should be sd gra duated that those engaged in pro ducing food products from tho t>oil, devoting their brain, und energy to their work, are entitled to a rea sonable profit and a comfortable liv ing. I ?beticve with all my soul that the American man on equal terms can worif with anyone, biiiJie can not possibly compete with those na tions who wear practically no clothes, whose wants are very limited, whose only hopes are for an existence and who have few ideals. "To my mind, tho most valuable possessions of America today ar*? lu-r agriclturalist*. tho vast majority of whom are law-abiding.

"With the enormous mass of tax free bonds, which have been issued and largely purchased by the rich In order to avoid all forms of taxation, with the certainty thai capital is very timid and not seeking investments, and with the further certainty that the burden of taxes, falling on the shoulders of, the farmer, is almost gresrtpr than he can bear and that lots of them are surrendering their farms and going to the city, it ap-i peals to me that the tariff question J is more important than ever before in our history and should not .be i made a football for designing polltl- j cians.

Through a Sieve Woven Finer Than Silk Raw materials of which portland cement is made come out of the ground usually as solid rock. They must first be crushed, ground and reground until at least 85 per cent of the resulting powder will shake through a sieve that will actually hold water. This sieve is considerably finer than the finest silk fabric. It has 200 hair-like bronze wires to the inch. That means 40,000 holes to the square inch. But the several crushings and grindings necessary to reduce solid rock to this extreme fineness are only the beginning of cement making. ?J The powdered materials must then be sub jected to intense heat for several hours in huge rotary kilns. Here they are hall melted and become a substance much harder than the original rock?clinker, it is called. Then the clinker must be crushed and ground until at least 78 per cent of the result ing product will pass through the sieve woven finer than silk. This is pordand cement. More than 80 power and fuel consuming operations are necessary in cement making. The electric power alone used in producing a barrel of portland cement would, if pur chased at usual household rates, cost $1.70. Few manufactured products go through so involved or complicated a process as port land cement. And it sells for less per pound than any comparable manufactured product.
