Back to Petticoats Again;
So Rules Milady America
pEMIJTCNE 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 the pavement
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
wB'IcTi met every designer"Wlronof
fered a compromise. Milady Amer
ica stuck to her guns, or her skirt
length, and won. Ii takes but a
glance 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 between friends?
TARIFF CONGRESS
NOW IN SESSION
Nonpartisan in Character Is
First Meeting of Producers
in West to Consider the
Tariff Question.
Denver. Colo., Oct. 3.?John M.
Parker, Governor of Louisianna, a ,
Democrat, addressing the Western
Tariff Congress here today, declared
"the tariff question is more Important
than ever before in our history and
should n/Jt be made a football for
designing politicians." lie charged
that "our law-makers overlook the
fact that the greatest assets today j
in America are our farmers and our
farming people," and declared him
self iu favor of a tariff that will pro
tect the American producers.
The .Governor said iu part: "I am
a protectionist. I believe in the"
tariff and that it should be so gra
duated that those engaged in pro-1
ducing food products from the soil, j
devoting their brain, and energy
to their work, are entitled to a rea
sonable profit and a comfortable liv
ing. I .believe with all my soul that
the American man on equal terms ,
can worn with anyone, but he can- j
not possibly compete with those na- j
tions who wear practically no clothes, '
whose wants are very limited, whose!
only hopes are for un existence and
who have lew ideals.
"To my mind, the most valuable !
possessions of America today are her
agriculturalists, the vast majority of
whom ure law-abiding. God-fearing i
citizens and in marked contrast to
the congested, money-mad popula
tion of many of our great cities.
"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 that 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
grearter than he can bear and that i
lots of them are surrendering their ?
farms and going to the city, It ap-1
peals to me that the tariff question {
is more important thau ever before;
in our history and should not .be j
made a football for designing politi
cians.
"My experience as Food Adminis
trator for Louisiana during the war,
especially at n time and period when j
we rationed In order to save food,
convinced me that but for* the pro
duction of cane stmar In Louisiana j
and of beet sugar In a number of t
Western states, we would have gone 1
absolutely without this necessary ]
food product.
"We must remembef thai this In
dustry gives employment to tbous- j

lufs of capital, a large part of which j
? s expended In the purchase of mules

and Illinois, of machinery purchased

and of wagons, carts and farm uten-1
slls purchase from all over the cen
tral West, and our labor was the
greatest consumer and best custom
er for the fat meats and crops of the
Western corn belt.
"When sugar was practically put !
out on the free list, there were. 62
sugar mills .between New Orleans
and the Gulf, and after the Wilson
Tariff Law, the number was reduced
to one and over one hundred million
dollars practically wiped out at one
stroke of the pen. It is a human
impossibility for the sugar farmer,
even with the most modern tnacliin-,
ery and equipment, with the present I
high cost of labor and machinery, to'
come in rompetiton with Cuba with
its eheap labor.
"Our law-makers overlook.the fact
that the greatest assets today in
America are our farmers and our
farming pebp'e, as they have fur
' Dished in both peace and war. the
able, virile Americans who havo been
, the greatest biessmK to the Nation."

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 inclu___
But the several crushings and
grindings necessary to reduce solid
rock to this extreme fineness are
only the beginning of cement
making.
The powdered materials must then be sub
jected to intense heat for several hours in
huge rotary kilns. Here they are half 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 portland 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.
