This Part of Man's Apparel Now Slated for Direot- . oire Fit and Slit. LACED FROM THE KNEE. LINCOLN GREEN 13 THE PROPER SHADE AND TAILORS EXPECT SPEEDY ADOPTION BY GOOD DRESSERS. Chicago, Sept. 12. Directolre trousers made from Lincoln green wool Vlth a neat stripe and laced with green silk cord frpm the knee downwards have been hailed by Chicago tailors as the logical development of the promenade of fashions for men. The news from New York that trousers of the "sheath" pattern have been introduced for the benefit of the flossy boys of Broadway has set local tailors to' anticipating the adoption of the trousers with the laced side seams for Michigan boulevard wear. The tailors are enthusiastic about it, and those who cater to college men are preparing to work overtime getting out models to tempt the students as soon as they arrive here to start work at Chicago and Northwestern universities. The only hitch in the plans so far is that the black frock coat is the proper thing to wear with the new trousers, but the tailors are given encouragement by the hope that the frock coat may be found necessary for all who walk the college campus. Such veteran critics of things sartorial as John Farson and James Hamilton Lewis naturally have been delighted by the invention of the new trousers and quietly are making plans, It Is said, to be the first to appear with the new models in Chicago. Mr. Farson already has ordered a pair for the Oak Park horse show, according to rumor, with the intention of wearing them with one of his new directolre overcoats, which created a furore a short time ago. Mr. Farson believes this Is to be a "sheath" season In fashions for men as well as women. Amusements "The Honeymoon Trail." The Princess Amusement company will bring the big Chicago success of last season, "Honeymoon Trail," to the Gennett on Sept. 18. This will be practically the first of the big musical successes to visit here. The book, music and lyrics are by those triplet authors of successful comedies, Adams, Hough and Howard", who have with "Honeymoon Trail" given a quartet of wonderfully popular plays to the public in "The Time, The Place and The Girl." "The Girl Question" and "A Stubborn Cinderella." The principals who will enact the various rolls number among them some of the best known artists in musical comedy work. Harry Stone, the light comedian,, was with Raymond Hitchcock in "The Yankee Consul" and as the Reporter In "The Stolen Story." Alma Youlin, the prima donna, was the hit of both "The Land of Nod" ' and "The Storks." Dorothy Brenner, the ingenue, is a well known comedienne and singer.

The Rosa-Mason Stock company will appear at the Gennett the week of September 21. , "Thorns and Orange Blossoms." One of the newest and best comedy drama productions of the season will be offered at the Gennett theater September 22, when Rowland & Clifford's exceptionally well selected company of players will present the Lem B.

They come direct from England, where they were featured in the best vaudeville houses. They are the worM's greatest head and hand balancers and a sight of their work will prove this statement true.

Accepting a dare from a young woman, Fred Biaggi, the 18-year-old son of a prune grower, made a daring aeronautic ascent that thrilled hundreds of spectators. Running forward just as W. L. Warring, a professional parachute operator, cut loose from the ground, Biaggi sprang into the cordage at the mouth of the bag and was carried upward to a height of 6,000 feet. Warring, with his parachute, cut loose at an elevation of 2.500 feet, and, with Biaggi as its solitary passenger, the balloon drifted over the hills of the coast range. His weight prevented the sudden escape of the gas. After two hours he landed safely and returned to town. A crcad Hint. "Miss Deeply does make some of tb most inapt quotations," remarked Bragg.

DIVORCEES ACT

NEWS AND GOSSIP f ROM METROPOLIS Of WORLD London Always Leads Willi Its Vast Supply of Information

By Richard Abercorn. London, Sept. 12. The very Idea that Germany Is preparing for an invasion of Great Britain seems to me ridiculous," said Keir Hardie, the famous Socialist member of Parliament, when I had a talk with him last night" and it is the duty of all socialists to do all they can to counteract these silly stories which are told the British people only to make them squander more money on army and navy." When there was trouble threatened between France and Germany over the Morocco affair. What did Jaures and Bebel do? These representative Socialists toiled unceasingly not only in the Interests of peace, but to convince the governing class in each country that not only would they oppose war but that if war broke there would be industrial developments which would paralyze the whole military system and by their efforts these two men saved their countries from getting the fatal feeling that war was inevitable. A few British Socialists seem to have set themselves the task of producing that very feeling of inevitableness than which nothing could more strengthen the hands of the warmongers on both shores of the North Sea. I want to assure our Socialist and trade union friends In other countries that these men speak for themselves alone and that their attl- j tude on this question would be repud- j iated with practical unanimity by thej Socialist and trade union movement i could it be put to the test of a vote. We can kill the war spirit even before it is born. One of the great ones among the Mohawk Indians is at present in London. He is Chief Thamakarinch, otherwise, "Moving Horus." His Mission here is two-fold he has been attending the congress of Seventh Day Adventists and he has laid a grievance before the Privy Council. In Canada and the United States "Moving Horu" ! declares he is known as a might medl- i cine man. He knows all the secrets of roots and herbs and he has traveled through the counties of Ontario, curing for single dollars what medical men have not done for hundreds. But the Medical Association has objected to him practicing as a doctor without a degree or license, and so he has been fined and forbidden to heal in spite of his appeal to a higher court. He told me his story In curious halting English. "When the treaty was made between the red man and the white man," he said, "The Indian asked the white THieaiflipe 1

"And again the red man asked, 'In what territories may we do these things?' And they answered him, 'You may pass and repass the States and Canada without license. "Once more the red man asked, 'For how long may we do all this?' And the white man told him 'So long as the water runs, the grass grows and the sun rises.' "That was the treaty. The knowledge of this comes to us through the wampum belt, and the red man treasures the tradition. But, alas! the white man has forgotten his words, and the seal of the treaty. "The water is still running, the grass is growing, and the sun is rising but we are losing our rights. Thirteen years ago I was summoned for healing without a license, but I won the day because the Toronto lawyer produced the old statute of the treaty. Last year in August they prosecuted me again, and I won. And then a month or two later they made a further charge, and this time I lost the suit. I appealed to the court of Ontario, but they upheld the decision. I have laid my case before the Privy Council, but they have dismissed it without comment. Three thousand dollars has it cost me, but I cannot rest until I have my rights. "I am a herbalist, and I know nothing of modern medicine. The herb lore of the ancient people Is mine, and I have deep knowledge of the roots and flowers that cure. Any human ailment can be cured by herbs, even as they were cured years ago by our medicine men." A remarkable series of experiments has just been conducted in a London public school with the object of ascertaining the conditions under which scholars can work best. In the school in question a system of ventilation was adopted so that the temperature could be regulated, and kept at anything between 50 and 80 degrees. When it was necessary to increase the humidity, evaporation of water by 5 cents.

boiling kettles over spirit lamps was resorted to while the use of electric fans brought about the required changes of the atmospheric conditions. Twenty-two observations were made and during that time there were only two wet days. When the conditions were "mild, fine drizzle" good work was done by the scholars, the subjects being algebra and arithmetic. When it was "drizzling, not cold," the work was well done at first, but subsequently was worked by deterioration. Good work was done on fine days but with curious exceptions. Thus when "sunshiny and fresh" the work" was well done but "lazy at end." On a "windy and bracing" day, the work ; was "slack" and the scholars were "lolling about." On "foggy days," the results of the experiments have been "good work," but when snow was on the ground the work exhibited "slackness and want of concentration." The results of the experiments are thus summarized. Mental alertness and accuracy are improved by two or three hours of , school work provided the atmosphere , is satisfactory. j Temperatures above 65 degrees ' give rise to definite subjective symp- j toms slackness and inattention in ! some, headaches in others. j Symptoms do not appear at 65 degrees If the air is kept in gentle movement by a fan in the room. At higher temperatures, symptoms and mental conditions are ameliorated by such movement of the air. With temperatures of 70 degrees and above, other factors being normal, there are marked symptoms and very evident deterioration in mental alertness and accuracy. , ' The Sleeping Top. ja. wrminiDg top "sleeps" la obedience to a law of nature.

HAS . CZAR BLUFFED

Nicholas Fears Condemnation By World If He Interferes With Aged Author. PRINCIPLE PREVAILS Perhaps there is no other subject of the czar who would have dared to arraign the Russian government before the bar of public opinion as Tolstoi has arraigned the Russian autocracy. If any other Russian had done as Tolstoi has done he would In all probability have been hurried to a prison to spend the rest of his days there. But upon Tolstoi even the Czar of All the Rutflas Is afraid to lay the Iron hand. The czar has millions of soldiers to execute his will, but he is afraid to crush a feeble old man, who Is within his power as absolutely as the humblest peasant is. Tolstoi enjoys Immunity because he stands for the eternal principle of Justice. Cynics say that the time when mere principle can prevail against brute force has passed. Has It? If such were the case the tottering octogenarian, Tolstoi, would not be able to defy successfully the might of a sovereign who rules over 120,000,000 subjects. Tolstoi goes unpunished be cause the czar Is afraid of the public opinion of enlightened nations. Thus despotism pays tribute to the force of an Idea. PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY

WANT CHANGE MADE

Illinois Manufacturers Ask Commission to Make a Change in Traffic. CLAIMS ARE NUMEROUS. The traffic committee of the Illinois Manufacturers' association has -addressed a letter to the traffic officials of the railroads asking for a change in the methods employed In checking shipments, which ia expected to save a great deal of expense and annoyance both to the carriers and to the Bhlppers. It is claimed that many of the roads make a practice of checking waybills only for undercharges and that the same care is not exercised to see that the shippers are not charged too much. An immense number of claims, many of them for small amounts, are daily presented to the railroads for freight overcharges above the lawful rate., due to the errors of rate clerks and others In the railroad employ, or to the mistakes of shippers in falling to make proper description of their shipments in accordance with the tariffs and classification. These overcharges are often a source of great annoyance, not only to the shippers but to the railroads as well, besides entailing a large expense to the roads for clerical labor, etc., in the after-investigation and settlement of claims.
