Mr. Doherty says a satisfactory solution will be found which will not

METHODS OF THE 1920 MODEL TRUST
Big business has developed an en-
tirely new form of trust which makes
the old Standard Oil outfit look like a
two-cylinder car in comparison, Chair
man W. B. Colver of the federal trade $*
commission told the house judiciary F ;i
committee the other day. The new |
combines, Mr. Colver said, are rapidly | .. ..
strangling competition, but are out
side of the pale of the law and can- ~
not be reached by the courts under j '*** m’ ■ :-. x , ' j/
the existing antitrust statutes. To
meet this situation before it gets be
yond the power of federal control, he '< ’ . v
urged that legislation be immediately \ MiMMx?

“The 1920 model trust,” as the
trade commission chairman styled the i jll|
new organization, strives not only to jMj& A H
control its own immediate products,
but also reaches out after all by-prod- ;
ucts and substitutes. Pointing out the
new trusts, Mr. Colver said if the Standard Oil company were to put into
operation the new principle of development, it would go at it in this way:
Wood alcohol competes with gasoline, so it would control wood alcohol. Then
it would control the by-products of wood alcohol. Both gas and electricity
compete with kerosene, so it would control gas and electricity, and their
related and by-products, such as coke and electrical machinery.”
ARIZONA STATE MINER
BED CROSS HEROES
Correspondent Tells of Deed of
Splendid Bravery.
Many Glorious Things Have Been
Done in the Hot Spirit of Battle,
But This Was in a Class
by Itself.
From Hill 212, overlooking Fere-en-
Tardenois and the valley of the Ourcq,
William Slavens McNutt, Collier’s
correspondent, watched the American
infantry start the Germans on their
final retreat from Reims-Soissons-Cha
teau Thierry pocket. He says:
And then I saw the most painfully
dramatic thing I have witnessed in all
this war. Out from the little strip of
wood that the Americans had just cap
tured, walking slowly out into that
open, bullet-swept field over which
the charge had passed, I saw two men
with the brassard of the Red Cross
on their arms bearing a wounded man
on a litter. They had perhaps 300
yards to go back across that open
field before the curve of the hill would
shelter them from the machine gun
fire from the hill above. And they
could not run, they could not duck,
they could not take cover. They must
walk upright on their work of mercy,
walk upright in that storm of lead,
and, walk slowly for the burden they
bore!
“There go two dead men,” the cap
tain said solemnly. “They haven’t got
a chance in that field. The machine
guns’ll get ’em, sure! Watch!”
I watched. I have never watched
anything so intently in my life. And
with all the fervency of reverence and
belief that there was in me I prayed
for those two men of mercy over there
who could not fight back; those men
who had made the charge up the hill
with their comrades of the gun and
bayonet and must now march back
bearing a wounded fighting man to
safety; back through that storm of
lead that was sweeping the field from
the big wood —march back standing
straight and walking slow. So slow!
They had made perhaps a hundred
yards when one of them slipped to
his knees and rolled over.
“I told you,” the captain exclaimed.
“They’ve got ’em!”
“Only one,” I said. “The other fel
low’s not hit.”
“They’ll get him,” the captain
prophesied gloomily.
I saw the unwounded man kneel by
his stricken comrade. For the space
of a minute he knelt there, I suppose
applying first aid. Then he stood
erect. And then the man who had
been hit, the stretcher bearer on the
ground, rose slowly—oh, so very slow
ly—till he was propped up on one el
bow. Then to his knees. Slow! Then
very, very slowly he got to his feet.
Once up, he leaned over —and, from
where I was, through my glasses, I
could see by the movement the pain
it cost —leaned over, grasped the han
dles of the litter, and straightened
up again. He had been hit, but he
was going on!
On they went. I have no power to
describe how slowly they seemed to
be moving across that deadly open
field. A hundred yards! Another
hundred would mean comparative
safety under the slope of the hill.
Fifty of that accomplished! Twenty
five more! And then, slowly yet,
they vanished from sight under the
protective slope. They had made it!
I think I shouted. I know I tried
to, and I know that my knees were
suddenly too weak to hold me up and
that I abruptly knelt and grasped the
slim pole of the little lone tree near
by to steady myself.—Red Cross Bul

An Ideal Woman.
Solomon’s model woman would have
made an ideal federated club woman!
First she began at home and the heart
of her husband-man safely trusted in
her, for she rose while it was yet night
to give meat to her household. She
was a financier, another qualification
fitting her admirably for club life, for
we see her considering a field and
buying it. She was a horticulturist,
for she planted a vineyard. She was
a merchant, for she bought her goods
from afar and perceived that they
were good. She was a manufacturer,
for she is pictured as making fine
linen and selling girdles to the mer
chants. She was a wise councilor—
perhaps, a member of the national
council of defense; we knew she was
a diplomat, for her husband was
known in the gates, and so was she.

The Reticent Pork Chop.
Economists tell us that the scale of
wages has increased more than the
cost of living. However, one does not
meet the affable pork chop out in pop
ular society nearly as much as before,
and the average housewife would
rather read an absorbing recipe of
new-fangled food substitutes now than
the saddest love story ever written.—

New Designs in
One-Piece Dress
The demand for the practical and
very smart one-piece dress of serge
or tricolette has in no way abated, ad
vises a leading fashion writer. In
deed the new models of this sort r s
frock are so charming as well as so
serviceable that no wardrobe is com
plete without at least one. Serge
seems to have had its day, at least for
the early fall and spring, for at this
time the newer duvetyns and tri
colettes are raging up and down the
land.
It is hardly possible to describe the
beauty of these one-piece frocks.
When one has said they are of either
of the two materials mentioned and
that they are of the chemise type
much has been told, but to appreciate
fully the beauty and charm of such a
dress one must see it. The trimmed
hips prevail in the smartest of the new
models. In fact, every dress, of what
ever nature, reveals this fashion of
adorning the hips. This is done either
by so arranging the draperies that they
give the desired extended line or by
placing fringes, plaits, braid or frills
in a decidedly extended effect along
the hips and down the sides.
Curious Model Finds Favor.
There is one curious model which
has attained a certain following which
has waist and skirt cut all in one with
no break whatever at the waist line,
Charming Frock of Navy Blue Lyons
Velvet Faced With Red.
the whole presenting a perfectly flat
back and front. At the hips the
skirt is extended in a wide flare, sug
gesting pockets which stand well away
from the body of the gown. Except
for the line of buttons down the back
or an occasional string belt this gown
shows no other trimming. Obviously
it is for the very slender, since the
curved and more developed figures
will not appear to advantage in a
gown of such straight up and down es
EVER CHARMING VELVET
Velvet is the joy of every woman’s
heart. It used to be that most women
waited until their daughters were mar
ried or at least fifty years had been
reached before they could boast of a
velvet gown. In those days a black
velvet gown and some “real” lace and
pearls were the synonyms of much
wealth, therefore it is no wonder that
all women longed for a velvet gown.
Os course, velvet was frightfully ex
pensive in those long ago times, but
nowadays with duvetyn at S2O the
yard, and peach bloom and tricolette
close followers in this price, vel
vet seems almost economical. It is
much used for the one-piece afternoon
frock.
Not so much trimming is used on
the velvet dresses. One excellent ex
ample is of black chiffon velvet with
the draped hips so prevalent. The
only trimming used is introduced at
the neck in a half collar and on the
sleeves in half cuffs of silver cloth
embroidered in a beautiful shade of
myrtle red. This fashion of making
very small collars and cuffs is a lovely
sect that the skirt is little wider than
the bodice.
Doubtless we shall grow a little
tired of the emphasized trimming on
the hips, but at this time it is well to
recognize the fact that this sort of
trimming is a distinct feature in the
one-piece gown.
The coat dress simulating jackets
or longer coats is ideal when devel
oped in navy blue serge or duvetyn
or tricolette. The latter fabric will
probably be superseded as the season
advances except in those cities where
the climate permits lighter weight fab
rics than the woolen.
I have observed a very charming
coat dress of dark blue serge with a
tight, narrow underskirt of the serge,
ankle length, and over which there
hangs a tunic of the serge somewhat
fuller than most we see. The upper
part of this dress has a short Eton
jacket faced down the front with scar
let broadcloth, and this is toned down
with black soutache. The scarlet
cloth forms a rather narrow vest and
a belt extending all the way around
the waist. The sleeves are long and
tight, of the coat type, and button at
the wrist. This is an ideal morning
dress for shopping or other practical
street wear. Soft fur collars of fox or
lynx are worn with this kind of dress.
French Styles Modified.
The duvetyn frocks are particularly
lovely this year. They do not follow
closely the French abbreviated sleeves
and skirts, though the general idea of
the French dresses, uncorseted, loose
and scant, has been followed and mod
ified to suit the American wearer.
Many of the duvetyns have elaborately
embroidered motifs on the skirts.
Some have aprons of cloth thickly
stitched with contrasting silk in good
designs which enhance the beauty of
the dress. They all have for the most
part the new square cut neck, not
nearly so decollete as earlier models
were, and the sleeves may be short or
long, as preferred. If short, they reach
well to the elbow and flare. The longer
sleeve is of the most tailored coat type
and buttons at the wrist. Some of the
makers do not adopt this method of
closing a sleeve,
Fringe, ruffles and ribbons are to be
reckoned with this fall. As to the
fringe, many of the Parisian gowns of
the most elaborate materials show it
used in the most lavish way. For in
stance, over a gown of black satin
there is placed an overdress of long
and very heavy black silk fringe which
hangs from the neck to the hem. At
the waist the fringe is held in with a
string belt ending with long silken tas
sels. From underneath this belt the
long ends of the fringe hang out, and
as they flare with every movement of
the wearer the effect is distinctly Ha
waiian or Samoan, where short skirts
of a curious straw fringe are worn.
Two of these fringed silken frocks
appeared the other day and were ob
served by all with intense interest,
though the wearers scarcely seemed
conscious of the concern they created.
Fringe on Duvetyn Dresses.
The duvetyn dresses, too, are being
trimmed with this long fringe, as, for
example, one finds a taupe duvetyn
with the bodice made entirely of an
uncut silken fringe placed over the
duvetyn. The long apron tunic re
peats a row of the fringe along the
edge. Nothing has been more inter
esting than the continuation of this
fringed trimming. It was so exploited
two seasons ago that it comes as a
slight surprise that it is still famed
just now and seemingly more than
ever. Undoubtedly we shall see much
use of ribbon.
one, as charming touches of color can
be cleverly used.
The very long overblouse of velvet
or plaited satin or georgette is des
tined to become very popular, as it
is a practical mode which all may fol
low. The new plaid skirts of the fine
Scotch woolens are particularly good
when topped with a tailored velvet
overblouse of some harmonious color
contrasting well with the mingled
plaids. Everything in Paris reveals
plaitings of some sort, bodices, skirts
and indeed entire dresses being made
of knife plaited or accordion plaited
fabrics. The latter plaits are more
satisfactory than the wider, as they
are put in by machinery and do
not come out so persistently as the
others do.
Corsage Fastens Behind.
Once more fashion decrees that the
corsage shall be fastened behind with
a row of tiny buttons.
Raised Waistlines.
Blue serge frocks show flounced
skirts and raised waistlines.
