"I don't know about that." replied, the father. "My daughter Isn't going
to nmrry any man until he hns at least $100,000. When you gvt It, you come
around ?tnd I'll talk with ynu."
White rend of the rush to the Klondike. Gold, the pnier mild, was to he
found nil over Alaska. It would he easy, White llgurod, to pick up $100,000
and hurry hack to the altar. So he packed up his grip and departed. It ,took
him two and a half years, beginning In 1S93, to Rather n pile sulliclent to meet
the requirements.

Daniel Wlllnrd, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, thinks
that the bllllon-nn'd-a-half-dollor In
crease in rates granted the rallronds
will eventually lower the cost of liv
ing, despite Increased charges to ship
pers. '
With rates and charges Increased
to provide $1,000,000,000' additional In
come annually, the railroads will have
th long-awaited opportunity of buy
ing new equipment, of extending serv
ice of new lines, of making railroad
securities more attractive to investors,
and of meeting Increased employees'
wages," said Mr. Wlllnrd.
"I believe the decision, Instead of
Increasing the cost of living, will have
Just the opposite effect. Tho rate de
cision will bring about renewed ac
tivity In the development of our rnll
roads, which will bo reflected In the
movement of an enlarged volume of
business. The ability of the roads.
through added equipment and new branches, to take care of more shipments
will mean a greater supply to the market und a consequent lowering of prices."
Mr. Wlllnrd expressed confidence In the future of the railroads under pri
vate management. The day of miracles had passed, however, ho said, and the
public Hhould nos expect too much at the start. ICnlargement of facilities
would take time.

Ludendorf Warns
Ofllclal Washington is admittedly
deeply Impressed by the warning of
Gen. Uric Ludendorit, famoUB German
vur leader, that unless checked at
once bolshevlsm would sweep all Eu
rope, and eventually the entire world.
The speclnlly prepared memorandum
on the "dangers of bolshevlsm" was
written Inst month, hut Is Jusi being
given circulation.
"Poland's foil will entail the fall
of Germany and Czecho-SIovnkla."
General Ludendorit says. "Their
neighbors to the north and south will
follow. Let no one believe It will
como to a stand without enveloping
Italy, Franco and England In Its hid
eous colls. Not even the seven sens
can stop It.
"The world at large must, there
fore, figure with a bolshevlst advance
In Polnnd toward Ilcrlln and Prague,
Lithuania is already Joining soviet
Husslu and is demanding a isllce of
the Prussian province of Enst Prussia.
"Lenlne hns advanced his lines to the frontiers of China, Afghanistan,
1'ersln nnd India and Is now preparing to continue his victorious progress."
In congress half n dozen years

hut today he Is George H. White, the
new chairman of the Democratic mi
tloiial committee, mid as such Is mali

Governor Cox. Tho name "Alaska

Just out of Princeton, Jollied the rush
for gold "0 years ago In the Klondike.
White got Kld, too. more than
$100,000 worth of It, for that yns the

"How much money have you not?"

Gardener's Job
A gray-haired woman now occu
pies the chair once held by Theodore
Roosevelt on the United States civil
service commission in Washington.'
Literally she doesn't till the chair, hut
In spirit and ability she is thoroughly
equal to the Job It signifies. Her
name is Helen Hamilton Gardener.
She holds the highest place ever held
by any woman in our government.
Her place ranks next to that of a cab
inet oillcer. There are about 700.000
persons in the country directly under
the civil service commission. The
number of women lu civil service po
sitions has Increased rapidly.
Helen Hamilton Gardener Is this
woman's legal name. Her family
name was Chenowlth and her husband
waR Colonel Day. She took the name
Helen H. Gardener as a legal nanus
under which she could enter business
and write. This might seem odd to
day, but In tho llglrt of woman's po
All the World
IP ANYTHING enn reconcile a summer-loving
world to the coming of
autumn nnd winter, the coats and hats
with which wo are to face the cold
ought to qualify. There Is nothing In
their makeup to oven suggest depres

comfort and brilliance Is theirs. They
lire here before the ilutumn leaves and
vlll still be iiere when the leaves are
gone, adding as much to the ghiry of
the year as lies In the power of hu
man bolngs tb contribute. The coats
are made of materials that are soft,
thick, in texMires that reveal the rich
ness of quiet colors.
Long lines tapering In toward the
bottom are chosen for many coats.
Very ample collars In the cape, mtifner
and shaw'l varieties make' them look
equal to protecting one against the
most frigid weather and altogether the.
new models are very graceful.

September Forecasts the Mode
ANEW chapter In the story of
lints begins with September, for
this month properly ushers In the
niitumn styles. Its bright, placid
days bring out between-sensons milli
nery belonging neither to summer nor
to winter, hut forecasting the brilliant
end of the year. Milliners agree upon
fabrics for making between-sensons
hats, choosing those that belong to
nny time of the year, not the sheer
things of midsummer or tho heavy,
warm-looking winter materials.
Kor this particular September they
have taken diivetyn, satin, taffeta,
materials that resemble hatter's plush
and ribbons, and occasionally put with
them some plain velvet In making up
many lovely (nits for fall. Decora
tions Include ostrich feathers, wings,
feather nnd ribbon ornaments, but.
above all. elaborate embroideries In
rich shades and narrow ribbons In
vivid colors. Brown nnd tones thnt
harmonize with It appear often enough
to convince one that mixing quiet col
or" brown will stand with navy at the
bead of the column of favorites.
Those yellows that make tho glory of
nasturtiums, and a reddish brown,
called "rust." are combined with many
dark shades In other colors.
There are many off-the-fnee shapes
In inedlum-slzod huts, and naVrow
brimmed hats for early wear. Among
the showings wide-brimmed satin or
taffeta hats with dashing lines have
ample enpe collnr and equally gener
ous sleeves with deep cults.

attention on originality and to have
a passion for dlfllcult workman

In the wide folds across tho hack
bordered by narrow tucks. Tim
sleeves abide by the mode In bolus
full and present cults lengthened to
the elbow at the hack and finished
with cloth-covered buttons. Another
surprise waits In two slit pockets at
ench side that find plnce In an unlooked-for
drapery. Klnnlly the coat
ends Its eccentric career nt the knees,
being considerably shorter than the
average.

Kour very practical hats in the at
tractive group above portray four dlf
ferent .shapes that may be relied on
to be becoming which Is the chief
end of millinery. One of them Is of
duvetyn with upturned brim faced
with sntln In a light color. A curling
spray of feathers monopolizes th
brim, springing out of the fating at
the left front and curving over tin
brim edge. .Tust below It a square
crowned sailor shape Is covered wit!
duvetyn and faced with velvet In i
dnrker color. Duvetyn makes the col

little brown bat at the bottom of th
group with plaited ruche nbout th

In
the facing. There nre rnnny color com
