pat$fh$ into effect the increased
freight rates recently granted by the
latoti&to Commerce Commission.
In JL long preamble to the resolution
RnnfBflr La Follette set forth that no
elujsnlg was made fey the carriers
that the old rates were unreasonable
that the commission, in granting
increases, did not, in accordance with
the law, consider their unreasonable-
ness, but granted them on the ground
that the railroads needed money to
meet extraordinary conditions and
confusion of commerce due to the
European war.
Senator La Follette asked that the
resolution lie on the table and await
further action.
Provision was made in the resolu-
tion that roads affected desiring to
advance rates may file new tariffs

GRAIN MEN AFTER
TELEPHONE COMPANY
A bill will be introduced in the
legislature at the present session,
asking that the ^telephone companies
of the state be placed under the con-
trol of the Texas railroad commission.
This is the information given out
from tire office of the secretary of the
Texas Grain Dealers’ association.
“The effort to place these com-
panies under the railroad commission
comes as a response to’ the recent
canceling of the night rates by the
telephone companies and the raise in
rates for calls of extreme long dis-
tances,” stated Secretary Dorsey.
“The grain men are among the
largest users of telephones in the
Rtate and the ruling that took away
the privilege of using the telephones
after 6 o'clock at a reduced rate is
being keenly felt on their expense ac-
counts.”
Just when this bill will be intro-
duced and come up for passage is not
known, but it is the hope of the as-
sociation officers to have the draft
ready before the present month is
ended.—Ft. Worth Record.

TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD.
That 100 men were ready to sell
their blood for transfusion to hos-
pital patients is an extraordinary
commentary on conditions of poverty
in New York. That of the number ap
plying only two were found to have
blood of the requisite quality merely
emphasizes the pathos of it.—New

FLAT HAT FAVORITE.
If the world continues to wear the
fiat black velvet het with Its trimming
of white velvet flowers there will not
be much ingenuity required In the mil-
linery world; at least, not for the pres-
ent. *
Rarely has a shape been advanced
that has met with such general approv-
al. it has ousted the high, irregular
turban, although one sees a few nar-
row, boat shrped, high turbans in vel-
vet. These have little or no trimming.
In truth, few of the hats are depend-
ent upon garniture. Everything is In
the shape and the quality of the velvet
or satin used.
There are no felt hats and no soft
huts except the waterproof one of
black or colored oilskiu.
