Dunbar' ory H A Dayton, O., Feb. 11.—An audience of 500 person, composed of two races, heard glowing tributes read on the life and work of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Dayton's famous Negro poet, during the memorial service held in his honor Sunday afternoon at Zion Baptist church, Sprague street, near Third. The service was one of the best attended ever held in the city! The church was packed to the doors by those who knew the famous poet, during the memorial service held in the city. The church was packed to the doors by those who knew the famous poet and were acquainted with his works. Prof. E. J. Brown, superintendent of schools, paid a glowing tribute to the deceased poet in giving his personal reminiscences. He told of the studious habits of Mr. Dunbar during his schoolboy days and the unassuming manner in which he went about his work in later days. Prof. Brown gave Mr. Dunbar credit for being a great student and one quick to grasp an idea. One of the most interesting papers was that written by W. L. Blocher, who aided the poet in the publication of his first book, "Oak and Ivy." The paper was read by Arnold Shaw, a friend of the deceased poet. Mrs. Dunbar, mother of the poet, was the guest of honor at the service. Gray haired, her shoulders bent with the weight of years, she occupied a seat in the pulpit and not a word that was spoken during the afternoon escaped her. The program opened with a selection by the Zion Baptist choir. A scripture reading was then led by William O Stokes, one of the leading colored attorneys of the city. The Wesleyan trio then sang. C. B. Higgins then told of his boyhood reminiscences of Dunbar. Samuel McGregor, one of Mr. Dunbar's closest friends, then sang "Holy City," the poet's favorite selection by the Wesleyan trio. BE STEADFAST. Do not be alarmed because you heard that some one said something not complimentary about you. People have always said ugly things about those who struggle to be, and are achieving some- thing; those against whom there is nothing said, are negligible quantities—people talk about those who are doing good. You go ahead, like the ancient philosopher, who, when he was asked by an apparent friend, who really desired to help the old sage, what could he do for the philosopher, the philosopher replied: "Please stand out of my sunshine."—That is all the alert, energetic aspiring young person asks; "stand out of our sunshine." We are going forward; we care not like Hannibal, for the attitude of, and the snow on the Alps—the Alps must be crossed, because that route is the only one from Rome to Carthage.—The Forum, Springfield, Ill. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, representing fifty thousand Negro American women engaged in the work of uplifting Negro womanhood, is soliciting the co-operation of colored newspaper and members of the race in protesting against the caricaturing of Negroes on billboards, in newspapers, magazines, food products and wherever found. "Such ugly pictures are humiliating to the race and hinder us in our efforts to instill racial pride in our youth," is the reason given by the association for waging a fight on ugly pictures, in a statement sent out by Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman, head of the Department of Public Posters and Prints. Muskogee, Okla., Feb. 10-Sarah Rector, the 11-year-old colored girl, has received $42,677.43 in royalties from the oil on her allotment from October 1 to December 31, 1913. This is shown by the gross production tax return filed wild the State Auditor by B. B. Jones, who operates leases on her other properties in the Muskogee, Tulsa and Cushing fields. The money went to Sarah's guardian, T. L. Porter, a white man. Jones paid about $1,500 to the State in gross production tax for the quarter named on the Sarah Rector lease, at the rate of one-half of one per cent. Just a Suggestion. Just a Suggestion. Neighbor—"Every time you feed your dog, he brings the bones over and gnaws them on our premises. Isn't there some way to stop it?" Owner—"Suppose you feed him hereafter; then he'll probably bring them over and gnaw them on my premises." —Puck. THE MOFFAT TUNNEL THE MOFFAT TUNNEL Tuesday's election has demonstrated that the citizens of Denver can be depended upon in a crisis to render efficient service to their city and state. The carrying of the bond issue for the building of the Moffat tunnel through the Rocky mountains by almost a unanimous vote of the tax-paying citizens of this city is worthy of unstinted praise from the press and laity. It is a worthy monument and a lasting one to that great pioneer and empire builder, Mr. David H. Moffat, who sacrificed his life and his fortune for the interests of Denver. His belief in his city and state was the keynote of this great project hampered on every hand by the great financial interests of New York controlling the destinies of the great trunk lines that were side issues to our city, he pressed on until death, the grim reaper, took its reward. And it fell to the lot of some other great man to carry this project to completion, he realizing the futile attempts of this great empire builder to get financial aid in the metropolitan money centers, appealed to the citizens of Denver through the Moffat Tunnel Commission, a commission composed of Denver's staunchest citizens. Mr. Jesse E. Fleming, its president deserves unstinted praise in his untiring efforts in behalf of making Denver the greatest city west of Chicago crowned with success. The benefits to be derived by all classes of citizens from the tunnel are unlimited. It will make Denver the metropolis of the mid-west. It will bring factories and last but not least, it will bring new settlers to our beautiful city. The citizens of Denver ought to take the 17th of February and make it a day of celebration, for on Tuesday, Feb. 17, Denver was put on the map. The vast area of land for farming that the tunnel will open up, also the great mineral beds that will be discovered will make our city a new Eldorado. There is only one regret that the great empire builder who loved his city and state almost as dear as his life could not live to see his dream come true, but his name will go down to posterity in the minds of every citizen of our beloved city and when the great historian writes the pages of history printed in bold type along side of the other great empire builders, will be found David H. Moffat, pioneer and empire builder, Denver, Colo. No more fitting monument could be erected to this man than was voted by his fellow citizens Tuesday, irrespective of race or creed. State Hist & Nut Hist Societies State House Tuesday's election has demonstrated a depended upon in a crisis to render efficient.

AFRO-AMERICAN. CULLINGS it is the reproach oftenest brought against the colored laborer that he loves pleasure too well to work stead ly week in and week out the year round, and the charge is well founded, though it is equally true as regards 4 part of the native whites. Happy-go- tuckyhabits inherited from slave ances- tors are in large part responsible for the disbeliet of the whites in the man- ifest improvement in the material con- dition of the colored people. Canners in the Chesapeake basin often import foreign labor from Baltimore through the padrones, because the newcomers can be counted upon to stick by the Job the season through, while the col- ored laborer is apt to run off to a camp-meeting or take a trip to Balti- more when the cannery {s busiest. Housewives are driven nearly mad by the impossibility of knowing whether the cook will report for duty on any given morning. When spring comes and the men have regular work and wages, the women desert the kitchens and let their husbands or lovers sup- port them. With late autumn, when the farm work is done and many farm laborers are idle, the women are glad to-go back to the kitchen in order that there may be money for the household. Thrift is a lesson that the descendant of the slave is slow in learning. In spite of much idleness, however, and extravagant indulgence in pleas- are, the colored people of the Chesa- peake basin are vastly transformed for the better In outward aspect within the past generation. The colored folk that crowd the villages on Saturday night are far bétter dressed than many European peasant proprietors. Indeed, the colored man’s improvidence is apt to take the form of over-indulgence in dress and display. A colored farmer on the eastern shore of Virginia, finding himself with more than $2,000 in bank at the end of the season, bought five vehicles of various kinds. The bicycle is already much used by the colored people, and it will not be many years before colored men in the Chesapeake basin will be seen driving their own autos.—A. BH. Vallandigham. ‘The clinic of the negro school is showing every day more plainly the price southern white people have paid for their neglect of the problem of the backward race. A cook in a famous Nashville hotel, followed to her home, was found to house in a cellar beneath a foul tenement, to the last degree un- sanitary. From this she passed daily to the preparation of food for fastidi- ous whites. A student nurse found a colored baby sick of a contagious dis- ease lying staring up at a clothesline stretched across the crowded, untidy cabin, on which hung the spotless lin- en destined to be sent back to an ex- elusive white home. Here in the north the doctrine of so- cial interdependence has been pretty thoroughly learned. We know, if we do not live up to our knowledge, that the rich pay a terrible toll for the degradation of the poor. In the south, it would seem, there has been too much trust among the less inquiring classes that the negro’s sins against sanitation would react only upon him- self. They are awake now. Five thousand students in southern colleges are this year stftdying Dr. Weather- ford’s book on the race problem. The rank and file are coming to see that the tying up of negro religion with social hygiene is likely to have results incalculably important to the! whole south—Mary Bronson Hartt, in the Boston Transcript. Fifteen thousand colored’ men in Paris are forming a trades union to re- sist the efforts of the white workmen, who are claimed to be attempting to prevent the colored men from getting an increase in pay. ‘The union will in- clude chauffeurs, hotel porters, domes- tic servants and others. ‘To the Department of Public In- struction and Fine Arts of Spain has ‘een allotted $63,000 for use toward establishing and improving workshops of the country’s industrial schools.

In the game period 21,427 patents expired. Searchlights are to be found mount- ed on the observation platforms of some western railroad trains. The largest and highest cactus in the world is\found in Arizona. It is 232 feet in height. German cities having a population ‘of 100,000 or more boast of their fine taxicab service. Many of the whites in the Chesa- peake basin belleve that their colored fellow-citizens are not improving ma- terially, morally and intellectually, but he that has known the region for 30 years or so, and who returns to it with a fresh eye, cannot fail to note the improvement that has taken place in that time. ‘The statistics of farm- ing alone in the period between 1900 and 1910 are convincing as to the re- cent economic improvement of the col- ored man. In Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, as in many other states, the actual acreage in farms decreased in the decade 1900-1910, but in each of those states the number of colored farmers owning their land decidedly increased, In Delaware the Increase was from $32 in 1900 to 406 in 1910; in Maryland, from 3,262 to 3,950; in Virginia, from 26,566 to 32,228. In each of these states colored ten- ant farmers are being converted into land owners, for in each the number of tenants is decreasing, while the whole number of negro farmers is in- creasing. The value of farm lands and buildings owned by colored per- sons was more than $32,500,000, and coloped tenants and managers were intrusted with the administration of farm lands and buildings to the value of nearly $25,000,000. ‘Thus the col- ored farmers of the Chesapeake basin are now in the ownership or ecctpy- ing of farm lands and buildings to the value of more than $55,000,000. A generation ago, when the colored peo- ple were still almost within the shadow of slavery, a prosperous negro farmer was a rare sight in the Chesa- peake basin. In that region the sys- tem common in the cotton states of turning over from 20 to 100 acres of land to be cultivated to cotton by a single slave family was little prac- ticed, so that the colored people were not ready to be turned into tenant farmers, and then into land owners. A few free colored persons had owned land in Delaware, Maryland and Vir ginia while yet slavery flourished. — Baltimore American. Twenty-two years ago Jonas W. Thomas, a negro ot Marlborough coun- ty, South Carolina, began his career as a farmer by buying an old horse for $40.75, and by renting 30 acres of South Carolina land for 1,400 pounds of lint cotton. After four years of hard work and close saving he was able to buy a mule for $65 and also 67 acres of land. Then he began renting and working farms which belonged to other men. Grad- ually he was able to buy the land he had been renting. He also found it worth while to open a commis- sary. Now Thomas lives in a 12 room house and employs on his $40,000 pjan- tetion, 29 families, consisting of 189 men, women and children. He grows a variety of crops, including cotton, corn, and some garden truck, and raises his own horses, mules, cows and hogs. He has received as much as $31,000 for his cotton crop alone— 400 bales of long staple. On an ay- erage he has saved $3,000 a year for 22 years. All that he now has on his farm is his own, “directly and in- directly,” he affirms with justifiable pride. In a single year he has bor- rowed of one local bank and repaid $23,000. “Good credit,” so Thomas says, “explains a fair share of my suc- cess.” Tfere are floating “movies” in the Netherlands. A bill was introduced in the senate by Senator Kenyon of Iowa provid- ing for the expenditure of $200,000. the balance remaining in the hands of the freedmen’s bureau, for the con- struction of a home for aged and in- firm colored persons in the District of Columbia. When navigation officially opened April 24, there were in elevators, on steamers and on railroad cars at Ft William and Port Arthur, at the head of Lake Superior, more than 42,750, 000 bushels of grain awaiting trans: portation. British exports to Mexito during the first ten months of this year were considerably greater than during sim: llar periods of the two preceding years. There are 438 fron mines in the United States, employing 65,170 per- sons, and costing for operation and development $74,017,830.

OUTSIDE CAPITAL DEVELOPING NEW PROSPECTS. Colorado State Inspector Expects In- teresting Opening in Falcon Dis- trict as Result of Drilling. Denver.—Heavy development of Col- orado oil fields will be witnessed in the near future, according to the an- nual report of James Duce, state oil inspector, which he has submitted to Governor Ammons. He says there is evidence that the tide of capital, which has overlooked that form of invest ment in this state, is now turning. “Colorado has several oil districts that it would well repay the capitalist to develop, and we understand that ne- gotiations are pending with this in view in several of the districts,” the report reads. “Until recently, while money was freely invested in the prospecting for oil in other states, Colorado's great opportunities were being overlooked. However, there appears to be evidence that the tide is turning toward this state, and the near future will see much more active operations carried out in this line.” - The Falcon field in E] Paso county, he reports, is being prospected by Eastern capitalists, and he remarks that “interesting developments can be looked for.” Other fields in which work is being done are at Aurora, near Denver; Weld county, Mesa county, Delta county, La Animas county and in the San Luis valley. Drilling is be- ing continued in the Rangeley field, and the inspector believes that “as soon as transportation lines are avail- able it will doubtless become a shipper.” Twelve changes in the present oil inspection law are recommended by him, among which is one designed to prevent the waste of gas from gas- producing wells which are not now be- ing used for beneficial purposes. We says that in Mesa county 250,000 cubie feet of illuminating gas escapes in every twenty-four hours from one well and that in Boulder county from 450,000 to 500,000 cubic feet of gas es- cape duing every twenty-four ours. He would make it compulsory for owners to put caps on such wells, in order that the gas be retained for fu- ture use. During 1913 approximately 5,767,000 gallons of crude oil were produced in Colorado. The department inspected 92,193,600 gallons of refined oil. The state will realize a profit from the office for the first time since it was created. The amount of revenue to the government for the year will be 35,194, which is the profit above the expenses of collection, The amount formerly went into the pockets of the chief inspector. The Florence fields are credited with the greater part of the production for 1913, They produced 5,444,451 gal- lons of crude oil, ‘The Boulder district produced 322,949 gallons. Other recommendations of changes in the present law are for the preven: tion of the promotion of wildcat oi! schemes, for the prevention of oil es- caping into coal mines seams and for the protection of purchasers of lubri- cating ols against fraud. : Members Quit Prison Board. Denver.—Joseph Maupin of Canon City and Jesse Harris of Greeley have resigned as members of the State Board of Frisons Trustees, which has charge of the state penitentiary and the state reformatory. A third mem Dery Mrs. Helen M. Grenfell, has re moved from the state, and the board now has no members, The resigna- tions of Maupin and Harris were pre sented to Governor Ammons. It is be- Meved that the members were prompt ed to resign by conditiops arising with- in the board after refusal of the state auditor to issue warrants on vouchers for the board, following a recent ex- amination of refozmatory accounts by state examiners. M. P. Capp, who was recently appointed to be warden of the reformatory, after receiving first in the civil service examination for the place, demanded that an examination of the accounts be made before he took charge. Lane Offera Ald-to Reclamation. Denver—A proposal for a confer- ence for the promotion of irrigation in the West has been made to the gover- nors of eleven Western states by Sec- retary Lane of the department of the interior. He believes that much good can be done by securing a comprehen- sive understanding of the subject and situation between representatives of the states and of the federal govern- ment. Governor Ammons received @ letter from Secretary Lane making the proposal. The governor is heartily in favor of holding it, He replied by tel- egraph, suggesting that the conference be held in Denver at the time the con ference of Western governors is held here, Shinn Asks Writ to Hold Office. Denver.—Col. James A, Shinn, for- mer state game and fish commission- er, aypealed to the Supreme Court for a writ of prohibition to prevent Judge Allen of the District Court from en- forcing the injunction granted by Al- len a week ago, restraining Shinn from performing the duties of the game nd fish office. In the meantime, if the writ is granted, Shinn asks the court to review the findings of the lower court, with a view to having the caso remanded for a new trial. JURY EXONERATES BLIND SEN. ATOR OF OKLAHOMA OF ASKED $50,000 AWARD NO ANSWER.” Western Newspaper Union News Service. Oklahoma City—United States Sen- ator Thomas Pryor Gore was exonerat- ed of charges of improper conduct by a verdict in his favor returned in Dis- trict Court in the suit for 350,900 damages instituted by Mrs. Minnie B. Bond of Oklahoma City. The verdict was returned four min- utes after the case was given to the jury. Only one balot was taken. “We find,” the jury stated in the verdict, “the evidence submitted by the plaintiff entirely insufficient upou which to base a suit; that said evi- dence wholly exonerates the defendant and had the defendant, at the con. clusion of the plaintiff's evidence an- nounced that he desired to introduce no evidence and rested the case, our verdict would have been the same in that event as now returned by us, in fayor ot the defendant.” Despite the efforts of bailiffs to maintain order when the verdict was read, the crowd that filled the court- room turned into a cheering throng. Senator Gore heard the jury’s de cision without change of countenance. Mrs. Gore was the first to grasp his hand. Then she kissed him. When she turned and shook hands with Hen ry Carpenter, the foreman, tears were on the cheeks of both herself and the aged farmer, “The verdict confirms my faith that truth will triumph,” Senator Gore said. “I never for a moment doubted the outcome.” Mrs. Bond and her husband left the courtroom while the demonstration was at its height. Mrs, Gore declared the was “toc happy for words.” “I am thinking now of my babies and I want to get home to them,” she said. President Wilson was one of the first to send congratulations to Sena tor Gore after the verdict was re turned. An hour later this telegran camie from the White House signed b; the President’s private secretary: “Heartiest congratulations.” | MARY JONES RELEASE DENIED. Colorado Supreme Court Refuses Per- mission to File Writ of Habeas. Corpus. Denyer.—The State Supreme Court refused the request of Attorney Hor- ace N. Hawkins for permission to file a writ of habeas corpus for the re- lease of Mrs. Mary Jones, known as “Mother” Jones, who is held a mili- tary prisoner at Trinidad, She was arrested there, it was stated by General Chase, on the sus- picion that she would cause rioting in the strike district it allowed her liberty, “Pive of the judges of the Supreme Court are of the opinion that the ap- plication for leave to file the petition should be denied,” says the brief opin- ion delivered, “and it is so ordered. “Chief Justice Musser and Mr, Justice Scott dissent, and are of the opinion that the petition should be filed and the writ of habeas corpus is sue.” TAKES OATH OVER GIRL'S BODY. Aurora, [ll—Louis Hollander, fathe: of Theresa Hollander, brutally slain in the cemetery here, swore an oath of vengeance as he stood beside her coffin, “The murderer shall die,” Hollander swore in the presence of friends and relatives who were gathered in the room, “If he escapes the law he will not eseape me, All I ask is two min- utes alone with him and I will cut him to pieces. ‘The murder was delib- erately planned and the murderer shall die for it,” 7 Colorado Mining Men Meet.

Well, the result of the election was somewhat of a surprise to The Colorado Statesman, which had consistently supported the Retail Association plan as being the best outlined for the taxpayers, voters, and for the general appearance of the city's streets, but it seems, on the face of the returns, that a majority of the voters thought otherwise. The Moffat Tunnel proposition was carried by six thousand votes, and all charter amendments voted upon by the general electors were carried by good majorities, with the exception of the Retail Association's charter amendment upon the Public Utility Commission's powers, which was badly defeated. GEORGE WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY. The 22d of February gives us another reminder of no less importance than the 12th, and the names of Washington and Lincoln will ever be in the mouths of the people while time lasts. In commomorating the birth of Washington, who is generally termed "the father of our country," let us think of his nobleness of character, his manliness of action, and his quality of truthfulness, and taking these as standards and examples for guidance in our everyday life, we should follow in the path that he fought so bravely to open, which will insure our arrival at the goal in safety in the achievement of success. "Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." CHANGE AND DECAY. "Let all the good thou aim'st at Be thy Country's, thy God's, and Truth's." So spoke and wrote on of the greatest poets that ever lived, and this being the motto of our journal after twenty-five years of journalistic experience, we cannot but again remind the public of our consistency of action in all things that in our opinion stand for the welfare of the community in which we live and the country at large. In all political issues of the city and county of Denver and the State of Colorado we have entered with one purpose, and that is to champion the cause of right, and fearlessly and faithfully do we pursue our course according to our convictions. A newspaper which indulges in changing its policy and maintenance of righteous actions almost as often as the clock ticks cannot expect anything but discontinuance of its patronage, as subscribers do not believe in such fluctuations, and eventually it must be short-lived. Our position in the recent campaign was taken in good faith, as being taxpayers and knowing the overburdened taxation that we are now undergoing, we started with the Taxpayers' Association and stood to our guns until the end. While our platform did not meet the approval of the public by the result of the election, yet no one would venture to charge us with unfaithfulness, inconsistency or lack of stability in our editorials supporting this side of the issue. We never published anything or made any unfavorable comments on the other side in one issue, then changed our policy in the other; we didn't bow to the whims and caprices of a few political blow-hards who are now on their last legs in politics, neither was there anything imperative in causing us to write as we did, but we felt our position was right and supported the cause to the best of our ability. From time to time we have been the recipients of the best commendations from leading journalists of the state and country for our indomitable pluck and courage in dealing with various issues of importance that confront the public, and though we may differ in our political opinions from some of the people, we hope never to swerve from whatever position we take up unless thoroughly convinced and converted. It pays to be consistent, as indulgence in changing policies without substantial reasons must result in decay. NEGRO GENIUS. Negro genius is yet almost entirely undeveloped, and because it is undeveloped it is poorly recognized and but little appreciated. We are speaking of genius in its true form when we make this assertion, and have no reference to the simple traits or characteristics, which mark men as apt or unusually capable in usual lines, for of this latter class the Negro has plenty. But men of extraordinary force, who develop conditions entirely of their own conception or who accomplish works new or unusual in their scope, so that the world looks up to them and acknowledges them as inspired leaders or gifted teachers in matters of rare importance to the world—this is the kind of genius we are contemplating. For it is genius of this character which measures the development of men and of races and of nations. It is personified in great sculptors and painters, great orators and statesmen, great scientists and educators, great mechanical constructionists and inventors, great moralists and teachers, great writers and poets. This kind of genius is manifestly present in the African character and the African nature, but as a modern force it is entirely undeveloped. We have those who aspire, and who, perhaps, have touched the hem of the garment of some immortal genius of the world, but we have but few who have written their names in the sky, where the brilliant letters could not be erased. But genius, like other things mortal and social, is not wholly independent in its growth. It rises out of the substratum of its environment and is the expression of the inherent power and character of the people with which it is identified. A people must be a live and growing people to give birth to and develop a genius, and the conception and the gift must grow out of the need. Perhaps Booker T. Washington, as a great organizer and director of educational forces, comes as near this mark of a genius as any Negro living, but his work has outspread racial environment and the white philanthropist must be largely credited for what he has accomplished. Henry O. Tanner, the painter is almost entirely the product of the white man's environment and the Negro is given little credit for his accomplishments. And so it goes down the line of our notables. These facts lead us to wonder if we are really developing a Negro People in America, or whether we are merely adjusting that people to an environment which will not require a genius of dark complexion for some generations to come. But a repressive condition is not a natural condition, and out of the blank and uncertainty of the present day may arise the very star for which we are looking. Groping now along misconceived lines of activity, the genius of the American Negro may be discerned by the close student of human nature sometimes in the life of the sturdy pioneer settler, who possesses of the undeveloped requisites of a brilliant promoter and might have been a statesman and a leader of men in another environment; sometimes in the checkered course of a magnetic but dissatisfied preacher, who might have been a gifted scientist; sometimes in the inconceivable successes of an obscure journalist or business man, director of great works; sometimes in the peculiar traits and contrivances of an ignorant countryman who might have been an inventive or mechanical genius of great mark. That inherent genius is misapplied or continues dormant is due to repressive racial conditions not understood as yet, but which must dawn upon the Negro in the course of future years. All Dogs Should Be Kept Muzzled By Dr. S. G. BRABROOK, Chicago Notwithstanding the many articles that have been published during the last fifty years, in magazines, books and newspapers, on the subject of hydrophobia, written by those who are widely known as reliable authorities, when summer comes there are people who feel constrained to advise what should be done to prevent dogs from becoming rabid. Generally they urge that plenty of water, either at the base of street fountains or in pans placed about the city, will leave no occasion for "mad-dog seares." They would pronounce a person idiotic who held that unless a man ate cheese every day he would have smallpox, but that would be no more absurd than their notion that lack of water causes rabies. Both are infectious diseases; lack of food or drink or whether the weather is hot or cold makes no difference in producing either malady. If a dog is not bitten by one that is rabid he will not have rabies. There is no case on record where the disease developed spontaneously in beast or man. The presence of negri bodies in the brain cells and spinal marrow is the proof of rabies in examinations made by expert bacteriologists everywhere and these cannot be produced by imagination or by the conditions named. The virus of rabies must come in contact with a wound or an abrased surface, practically always by the bite of a dog. This gives reason for the imperative demand that dogs at large be muzzled in such a way that they cannot bite any person or animal. Public safety can be secured in that way and not otherwise. The disease was stamped out in Great Britain about ten years ago by that means, combined with rigid quarantine regulations—the latter still enforced. In some cities a wire muzzle is required—one that extends over the nose and is large enough so the mouth can be opened inside of it. With such a muzzle the dog is comfortable, can bark and drink, but cannot pick up poisoned food or bite anyone. Owners who pay license taxes will care for their dogs and can be compelled to muzzle them under penalty of arrest and a fine. The rest are properly considered ownerless vagrants, which it is the duty of the poundmaster to catch and destroy. Hydrophobia has prevailed so extensively and so long that it is now seldom that anyone disputes its existence. Occasionally the statement is made that "rabies is extremely rare," but in the face of so much indisputable proof to the contrary, such an assertion shows ignorance or disregard of facts. Due concern for public welfare requires that no unmuzzled dogs be at large in a city at any time. Noise Enhances Value of Night's Rest By C. PARNELL STEWART, London Both Bismarck and Pepys found that noise enhanced the value of a night's rest. Bismarck confided in his old age to an interviewer that he could "never sleep in Berlin at night when it is quiet, but as soon as the noise begins, about four o'clock in the morning, I can sleep a little and get my rest for the day." Pepys records in his diary on September 23, 1661, that he slept at Welling "and still remember it that of all the nights that ever I slept in my life I never did pass a night with more epicurism of sleep; there being now and then a noise of people that waked me, and then it was a very rainy night, and then I was a little weary, that what between waking and then sleeping again, one after another, I never had so much content in all my life." The probability that we get snatches of sleep at odd moments when we suppose ourselves to have remained continuously awake is supported by the phenomena of dreams. Mark Twain accounted for his own "disappearing visitor" by the belief that he had unconsciously had a very short nap, and many have explained visions of ghosts as due to dreams during such short naps. For nothing is better established in connection with dreams than that an apparently very long one can occur during an almost infinitesimal time. Alfred Maury had a long, vivid dream of the reign of terror, including the trial of himself and his execution, and was able to show that it all happened during the moment of awakening by the fall of a rod from the bed canopy upon his neck. There is no doubt that fur farming is full of both pleasure and profit. Under proper conditions, with intelligent care, no doubt, raising fur animals can be made to pay. The best animals to raise for the man with small capital are skunk, mink, marten and muskrat—silver and black foxes would take too much capital. Mink skins occasionally sell for $10, depending upon the size and color. A man who has been in the fur farming industry for years, in response to the inquiry, "Will the business pay?" says: "Yes, it will pay the right man big dividends on the capital invested." The man who tries his hand at fur farming must study the habits of the animals he wishes to raise and he must not be of a nervous trend and must have a great deal of patience. Fur farming as an industry is only in its infancy; in fact, scarcely begun. The future looks bright to those who engage in the business. The business looks like a "gold mine" at present prices of fur and breeding stock. Even should prices be reduced by one-half or more, the business is likely to continue profitable. The highest price ever paid for a silver fox skin was $2,900. Some 1913 prices: Black fox, $2,000; silver fox, $1,000; otter, $20; marten, $20; lynx, $17; bear, $25-$50. A man with forethought and sense can make the business pay. More Danger in Drugs Than in Liquor By Dr. Eduard E. Gulda, Paris, France Cocaine and other drugs have done more to wreck strong constitutions and virile minds than liquor. There ought to be, I should say, the strictest federal regulation of the sale and importation of cocaine and drugs made from coca. I had some experience with the Indians of Brazil a few years ago, where I discovered that the Indians of that country are largely addicted to the excessive use of coca. Nearly all these Indians chew the leaves. The effects are varied. Taken to excess, it is a terrible vice. Moderately used, it imparts endurance. It deadens hunger to such an extent that Indians under its influence have been known to work three days without food or other nourishment. Their priests chew it during religious services, and it was burnt like incense. Its leaves were placed in the mouths of the dead to insure their favorable reception in the next world, and in the mines the workmen throw it on the veins of ore, believing it to soften the metal.

Our mid-winter revival closed out Sunday evening, last, when enthusiasm had reached its highest point, and the auditorium was aglow with spiritual fervor. Not within many years has Shorter enjoyed such visitation from the presence of the Lord and it has been a long while since our membership has been so thoroughly stirred. Our pastor and his congregation are loud in their commendation of Rev. J. P. Howard as an evangelist. Rev. Howard not only draws large audiences, but he easily hold all he draws. Nor is this done through sensational sermons; for his sermons are faithful expositions of the Scriptures. He is a preacher and evangelist of whom the entire race may be justly proud. Presiding Elder A. M. Ward was expected to have arrived, in the city in time to hold the second quarterly conference at Shorter Tuesday evening of this week. Mr. Geo. W. Cooper, who accepted Christ at the Y. M. C. A. meeting last Sunday afternoon, has united with Shorter Chapel. Our revival brought into the church a splendid crop of young men.

There was also a story, the like of which he had not met with every day since he entered the White House. The pictures are the work of a convict in Sing Sing prison, and the story is that of his life. Both pictures and story are remarkable, so much so that several philanthropists in New York city, which was the scene in recent years of the crime of which the prisoner was convicted, saw to it that the pictures were sent to the White House, and have tried to implant a bit of hope in the Under one consideration only was the step of the letter which accompanied them reveal that was absolute secrecy as to the prisoner crime.

"This picture and that of Mrs. Wilson are the only ones I have ever attempted; there were no mechanical aids—just the naked eye.

The cell was illuminated by an 3-candlepower lamp, and the enlargement was made from a newspaper print, which accompanies the pictures. "In view of these things it is hoped the crudities shall be overlooked, and each line and plane will testify to the respect and veneration in which the president is held by an obscure young man so low down in the social scale.

According to Department of Agricul- ture Pest Has Caused Loss Consid- erably in Excess of $350,000,- 066 iS Aimerinan Farmers: Washington.—The chinch bug, which in 60 years has probably caused loss considerably in excess of $350,000,000 to American farmers, ie more effective- ly destroyed during the winter months than later when it has left its winter quarters, according to the department ot agriculture, The burning of dry grass, leaves and rubbish along the margin of woods and fields is the best method of destroying the pest at this season of the year, The pest, which is distributed gen- erally throughout the United States except in the extreme west, has caused particular damage to the staple grains throughout the middle west. The greatest losses from the insect are suffered in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ken- tucky, North Carolina, Missouri, lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebras- ka, Oklahoma and Texas. 'The fact that this bug causes such widespread depredations makes this warning for its destruction during the winter of very general importance. The chinch bug when full grown is only about one-fifth of an inch in length and may be less. It may be de- seribed as black with numerous hairs, also black. The underwings are white. There are two forms of the fully de- veloped insect, one with long wings and the other with shorter wings. The short wing form differs very much in its habits from the long wing form, the first passing the winter in the mea- dows, which it usually attacks in pref- erence to grain crops. The other kind may be observed flying about during Indian summer in search of winter quarters. The short wing insects are not able to fly and therefore cannot make such extensive migrations to and from winter quarters. The chinch bug with the short wings is found in abundance only in the east. The more dangerous long wing variety ranges over most of the country between the Rockies and the Appalachians. Pasturing sometimes aids in «ne de- struction of the chinch bug. This is particularly effective to the northward in the middle west when the grass is green and matted or occurs along hedge rows and rail fences so that it cannot be burned. Leaving the ground bare of vegetation permits the bugs to be exposed to the winter weather, and this kills them. It is sometimes pos- sible to clear out hedge rows and along rail fences, piling the refuse to one side where it can be burned later. ‘These measures should be carried out some’ time between now and spring (the earlier the better) before the chinch bugs leave their winter quarters and take themselves to the fields. In the southern part of the mid- dle west the burning is not very ef- fective if done after February 1 and is very effective if done in November or December. Along with these pre- ventive measures, all grass growing on waste lands should be burned and es- pecially clumps of broom sedge in pas: tures and similar localities, It is most advisable to get rid of the chinch bugs before they enter the young wheat in the early spring. Once they have reached the wheat they are not readily accessible. Most of the bugs spend the winter in the thick bunches of clump-forming grass in waste places, pastures and meadows, along roadsides and ratlroad rights of way. During late fall and early win- ter great numbers of living bugs can be found in corn husks, piles of kafir, corn, ete. In the spring, however, very few living bugs but many dead ones may be found in such situations. This seems to show that the current betief that most of the bugs pass the winter beneath such refuse has no founda- tion in fact. It is very important when grass is burned that it be dry and yet burn slowly so that the heat will penetrate the densest portions and reach the bugs. The bugs need not come in di- rect contact with the fire. This burning in early fall and late spring is not as effective as when done during the win- ter, for green and wet stems in the former seasons furnish protection to certain of the bugs. Even the most careful burning will ‘not reach the bugs under this condition, An important item in the destruc- tion of these pests is the co-operation of all the farmers in a neighborhood. It is really an easy matter to fight this pest if a whole neighborhood un- dertakes it. ‘The secretary of agriculture recent- ly issued two on#ers relating to the ad- 3 mission of foreign Quarantine potatces into. tha ‘The secretary of agriculture recent- ly issued two on#ers relating to the ad- x mission of foreign Quarantine potatoes into the Is Extended.

One of these orders provides for the admission of disease-free potatoes from uninfected foreign districts under proper regula- tion and inspection, The other order, to protect Amert- can potatocs from the powdery scab and other diseases, temporarily ex- tends the quarantine effective since September 20, 1912, against the impor- tation of potatoes from Newfoundland, the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, Great Britain, including England, Scot- land, Wales and Ireland; Germany, and Austria-Hungary, to include also the rest of continental Europe and the dominion of Canada. This quarantine became effective on December 24, 1913, except that shipments covered by consular invoices issued on or prior to December 24, 1913, will be admitted up to January 15, 1914. As soon as any country or district can be shown free from potato disease the quarantine will be lifted, and pota- toes will be admitted under proper regulation and inspection, as provided in the other order. It is possible that, in tho caso of certain provinces in Canada, and certain countries and dis- tricts in Europe, the absolute quaran- tine can be lifted in time to allow the later movement of the present year’s crop under regulation and inspection. ‘The weather bureau displays at cer- tain points the information contained in its forecasts How to Read = and warnings by Weather Flags. ™eans of a system the flag system has the advantage of being comparatively inexpensive to in- stall and maintain, it 1s not in gen- eral use, since in large cities the flags “are quickly discolored, and on account of the prevailing smoke and haze it ‘soon becomes difficult to distinguish them, ‘The interpretation of these displays may be more easily mastered if {t 1s kept In mind that the meaning {s con- ditioned on the color and form of the flag; thus a white flag, if displayed alone, means clear or fair weather, with practically no change in temper- ‘ature; a blue flag alone indicates gen- ‘eral rain or snow, with stationary | ‘temperature; a flag composed of ‘equal portions ,of white and blue Indicates local rain or snow, &s con- trasted with general rain or snow.

She had ex periences and adventures such as fall to the lot of few women.

Adrushtam! It was my destiny. How else should I find peace?” The desire to visit India and help the natives seized Dr. Munson when she was a small child, for on turning the leaves of a mission book she found an fllustration representing a Hindu mother throwing her baby into the gaping jaws of a crocodile as a sacri- fice to the gods. The child asked her mother what the dreadful picture meant, and when it was explained to her she hid her tearful face, and with her heart swelling with sorrow and pity she resolved to “hurry and grow up” that she might go out to India and save those poor little babies. In the years that followed she stu- died the history of India and learned the tragedy of the existence of the wo- men of that country, so that the smol- dering resolve of her childhood flamed into a mature and steady determina- tion to spend a part of her lite prac- tising medicine and surgery in India No sooner were her college and hos: pital studies completed than she left for India.

But they diti not. Only certain charity workers were familiar with it and the operation of the beneficent machines they set in motion was too slow to save his life. Had he lived another day or two he would have been well cared for; but he did not dive that other day or two. Well, after that, Gluck gave much thought to matters of the sort, decid ing, finally, that it might be possible to bring the need and the impulse to give into something nearer speaking distance. The Santa Claus association was the ultimate result. It seems to have been amazingly effective. In the fourteen days preceding Christmas it received 14,000 letters— 1,000 every day—from little ones who. through them, aimed to reach to the headquarters of the Christmas spirit. A careful estimate of fact proved that these 14,000 letters represented not less than two children each upon the average. This would give a total child population of 28,000 who within two weeks grasped and acted upon the Santa Claus assoctation idea.

Phone Gallup 245 WASHINGTON AND HIS FAMILY which has deprived him of a great deal of the appreciation which has been lavished on less deserving characters. What ever the vices of the man, they were always held within respectable restraint. Whatever his virtues, he never gave them undue prominence. So it is that, after more than a cen- V tury, there has come a tendency to depreciate the ability of the one man who, more than any other, would naturally be exalted. For a long time it was held that his fame was tarnished because he swore real oaths at the battle of Monmouth. That was succeeded by the present epoch, which has chosen to regard him as a lovable gentleman, with enough horse sense not to make a fool of himself and, by a series of events over which he had no control, to become the father of his country. And yet it is doubtful if another character of the age is more to be admired for its many-sided excellenies. As a man, warrior and statesman, Washington yields to no figure of his time. What place Washington held, in his own day, must now become a matter of interest. Shortly after his death, Felix Faulcon voiced the opinion of the French parliamentarians when he addressed the legislative assembly as follows: "The tomb has claimed him who was the model of republican perfection. This is not the time to trace all this truly great man has accomplished for the liberties of America, the generous inspirations which he imparted to the French who were attracted to his school of arms; the sublime act which will ever add luster to his memory, when, after having exerted his talents in giving liberty to his country, he voluntarily relinquished supreme power to conceal his glory in the obscurity of private life." Naturally, Napoleon was attracted to the great general who led an army of ragamuffins to victory, after a long campaign of almost unparalleled vicissitudes, and whose power was attested by the fact that none of his general, except Wayne, accomplished much after they left him. When the news of his death reached France, the first consul issued the following order: "Washington is no more! That great man fought against tyranny. He firmly established the liberty of his country. His memory will ever be dear to the French people, as it must be to every friend of freedom in two worlds, and especially to the French soldiers, who, like him and the Americans, bravely fight for liberty and equality. The first consul, in consequence, orders that, for ten days, black crepe shall be suspended to all the standards and flags of the republic." At almost the same the Gazette de France said: "Washington is dead! The news in the time of the directory it would have been imprudent to announce. Now, the heart may with confidence abandon itself to all the generous emotions of the soul, and we may dare to weep at the tomb of a great man. A general funeral service has been ordered in America, and this will be observed by the citizens of every nation. No period has sustained a loss so irreparable as the end of the eighteenth century." This concluding sentence may be taken as generally expressing the estimation in which the "father of his country" was then held. Since then, with that flash tendency to appreciate high-sounding phrases rather than sound statesmanship, it has become the fashion rather to exalt the orators and the writers, who had secondary roles, than to accept the verdict of colonial times. It is doubly strange, too, that in a country whose citizenship is rapidly altering, because of the large and continuous additions from foreign lands, should have no one great work, not even an essay, which vitally and vigorously presents the character of its first great general, statesman and citizen. When reading the first president's letters, it seems strange that his correspondence should never have excited more attention or study. By comparison they are almost unknown when one considers for example how much attention and controversy has been directed of late years to lives and writings of Hamilton and Burr. Very strange it is, indeed, that the correspondence of so commanding a character as Washington should be so little known to the ninety and more millions of people who owe their liberty and prosperity to him. And to the fact that his letters are so little read may be attributed the further fact that his fame is that of a successful general rather than of a broad, constructive genius, whose all-seeing statesmanship guided a new nation of his own making to greatness. Also, it is probable that no man who wrote as much as he did put so little on paper that is open to criticism. due to fellow-citizens and brethren, but even those execrable parricides, whose counsels and aid have deluged their country with blood, have been protected from the fury of a justly enraged people. Far from compelling or permitting their assistance, I am embarrassed with the numbers who crowd to our camp, animated with the purest principles of virtue and love to their country. "You affect, sir, to despise all rank not derived from the same source with your own. I cannot conceive one more honorable, than that which flows from the uncorrupted choice of a brave and free people, the purest source and original fountain of all power. Far from making it a plea for purity, a mind of true magnanimity and enlarged ideas would comprehend and respect it. "What may have been the ministerial views which have precipitated the present crisis, Lexington, Concord and Charlestown can best declare. May that God, to whom you, too, appeal, judge between America and you. Under his providence, those who influence the councils of America, and all the other inhabitants of the United Colonies, at the hazard of their lives, are determined to hand down to posterity those just and invaluable privileges which they received from their ancestors." To Washington's high personal character, and his lack of small weaknesses, his correspondence all bears testimony. As a statesman, Washington was as sure, as broadminded and as determined as he was as a general. All his letters to his friends and to those who served him show that his efforts were directed toward the prevention, not only of entangling alliances abroad, but to calming internal dissensions and directing the business of the nation into healthy channels. For a time the agricultural interests and the merchants saw the growth of manufactures with jealousy and distrust. But Washington yielded to no economic fallacies. Scarcely had the Revolution been brought to a successful termination when he wrote to the Delaware Society for Promoting Domestic Manufactures, in 1798, as follows: "The promoting of domestic manufactures will, in my conception, be among the first consequences which may naturally be expected to flow from an energetic government. For myself, having an equal regard for the prosperity of the farming, trading and manufacturing interests, I will only observe that I cannot conceive the extension of the latter (so far as it may afford employment to a great number of hands which would be otherwise in a manner idle) can be detrimental to the former. On the contrary, the concurrence of virtuous individuals, and the combination of economic societies, to rely as much as possible on the resources of our own country, may be productive of great national advantages by establishing the habits of industry and economy. The objects of your institution are, therefore, in my opinion, highly commendable; and you will permit me to add, gentlemen, that I propose to demonstrate the sincerity of my opinion on this subject by the uniformity of my practice in giving a decided preference to the products and fabrics of America, whosoever it may be done without involving an unreasonable expense or very great inconvenience." Along educational lines Washington's ideas were equally sure and far-seeing. When the federal commissioners in 1795 were considering the erection of a university, he wrote to them as follows: "It has always been a source of serious reflection and sincere regret with me that the youth of the United States should be sent to foreign countries for the purpose of education. Although there are doubtless many, under these circumstances, who escape the danger of contracting principles unfavorable to republican government, yet we ought to deprecate the hazard attending ardent and susceptible minds from being too strongly and too early prepossessed in favor of other political systems before they are capable of appreciating their own. "For this reason I have greatly wished to see a plan adopted by which the arts, sciences and belles-letters could be taught in their fullest extent, thereby embracing all the advantages of European tuition, with the means of acquiring the liberal knowledge which is necessary to qualify our citizens for the exigencies of public as well as private life; and (which with me is a consideration of great magnitude) by assembling the youth from the different parts of this rising republic contributing from their intercourse and interchange of information to the removal of prejudices, which might perhaps sometimes arise from local circumstances." These few extracts have been selected at random from Washington's correspondence, extending over a period of 25 years. If they stimulate just a few persons to make a first-hand study of the life and writings of the father of this country they will have fulfilled their mission. that his letters are so little read may be attributed the further fact that his fame is that of a successful general rather than of a broad, constructive genius, whose all-seeing statesmanship guided a new nation of his own making to greatness. Also, it is probable that no man who wrote as much as he did put so little on paper that is open to criticism. Read a dozen or more volumes of his correspondence, as compiled by Sparks, and you will find not one epistle which does not bear tribute to his love of freedom, his wisdom and kindliness of heart. All of them show why he never failed in anything of consequence he undertook. Without exception, they bear witness to the thought, the careful consideration, the sound judgment of the writer. With these qualities dominant, there is lacking, as a matter of course, the bias, the egotism, the proneness to give way to the passions, that have caused so many able men to fail. Above all, there is an abounding love of freedom, an all-powerful desire to serve the best interests of his fellowmen, that cannot fail to touch the heart of any one who cares to read the old volumes that have been shelved in favor of so much less worthy material. Take him, for instance, as a soldier. His earlier show that he realized fully the difficulties of the tasks ahead of him. First of all, his breadth of vision prevented his army from being divided and subdivided by the claims of the various colonies that the troops they raised should be devoted to their own defense. As he wrote to the governor of Connecticut: "I am by no means insensible to the situation of the people on the coast. I wish I could extend protection to all, but the numerous detachments necessary to remedy the evil would amount to a dissolution of the army, or make the most important operations of the campaign depend upon the piratical operations of two or three men-of-war and transports." Again, when he was recruiting his forces, he was dismayed by the fact that not all the people were animated by motives as high as his. To his secretary, Joseph Reed, one of the closest of his friends, he wrote: "Such dearth of public spirit, and such want of virtue, such stock jobbing, and fertility in all the low arts to obtain advantage of one knid or another in this great change of military arrangement, I never saw before, and I pray God's mercy I may never see again. What will be the end of these manoeuvers is beyond my scan. I tremble at the prospect. Could I have foreseen what I have experienced and am likely to experience, no consideration upon earth should have induced me to accept this command." His letters during the winter at Valley Forge are models of their kind. But nothing he wrote, during his period of command, bears higher tribute to his character as a man than his letters to General Gage that "the officers engaged in the cause of liberty and their country, who by the fortune of war have fallen into your hands, have been thrown indiscriminately into a common jail, appropriated to felons." General Gage insolently replied that but for his clemency the captured men would have been hanged, and made counter-charges that British captives were mistreated. To this Washington replied with the following letter: I addressed you, sir, on the 11th instant, in terms which gave the fairest scope for that humanity and politeness which we supposed to form a part of your character. I remonstrated with you on the unworthy treatment shown to the officers and citizens of America whom the fortune of war, chance or a mistaken confidence had thrown into your hands. Whether British or American mercy, fortitude, and patience are most prominent; whether our virtuous citizens whom the hand of tyranny has forced into arms to defend their wives, their children, and their property, or the merciless instruments of lawless domination, avarice, and revenge, best deserve the appellation of rebels and the punishment of that cord, which your affected clemency has forbore to inflict; whether the authority under which I act is usurped or founded upon the genuine principles of liberty, were altogether foreign to the subect. I purposely avoided all political discussion, nor shall I now avail myself of those advantages which the sacred cause of my country, of liberty, and of human nature give me over you; much less shall I stoop to retort and in- vective, but the intelligence you say you have received from our army deserves a reply. I have taken time, sir, to make a strict inquiry, and find it has not the least foundation in truth.

It is a tribute to the officers and members of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association, of Denver, Colorado, that in a city noted the world over for its hospitality, it has been accorded first honors as a place of social amusement and relaxation. Colorado is the Switzerland of America. Its snow-clad hills and verdant valleys, its charming resorts, its rugged beauty are famous the world over. Denver, its capital, is one of the most beautiful cities in America. Matchless in climate, situated where first the eternal snowy hills rear their snowy tops to the heavens, it has long been the mecca of visitors. Its people have been well trained in hospitality, and of that training the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is the highest expression. In offering to the public this set of interior views of its home, the Board of Directors of the Association have only one regret, that they cannot reproduce in black and white the cordial good fellowship that exists among the members, and the hearty welcome which is accorded visitors. The limitations of the camera are understood, so that they will convey an idea of the building and accommodations, but words cannot take the place of the handshake, the smile and friendly greeting. Therefore the Association extends to all men of good character a cordial invitation to visit the Association quarters while in Denver, and assures them that their inspection is no intrusion, but, on the other hand, will give it an opportunity for doing for them the duty which Denver lays upon its citizens. It is the spirit of good fellowship that has made the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association a factor in Denver life, though it is only a year and a half old, and it has occupied its present quarters, 2014 Champa street, since April, 1910. In that time it has grown to 900 members, a part of whom are non-residents, being accorded the privileges of the Association under the provisions of the by-laws relative to non-resident members. It is not the desire to burden you with facts and figures, but to entertain you—on paper now, and in the hope that some day we may entertain you in person. Therefore let's make an inspection of the Association quarters. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is housed in a twenty-room two-story brick building situated at 2014 Champa street, Denver, Colorado, on a plot of ground 50x125 feet, one block from the new postoffice now building. In preparation for its occupancy this building was remodeled a year ago. WALTON & FRAZIER Managers THE BAR The pool and billiard room is high class.

On the contrary, new varieties, with new decorations, are making their appearance every day. There is a continuous performance going on in ribbon departments where the gorgeous materials at hand inspire the designers of dress accessories. A gay vest of velvet brocaded ribbon is shown here, lined with plaishatin. There is a plaited girdle of messaline which extends about the waist and holds the little vest in place. This vest and girdle, by the way, is often worn as an ornament with a lace or net waist. It is a separate garment and need not be removed with the coat or jacket worn over it. Handsome rhinestone, cut steel or jet buttons are often added to the ribbon waistcoat. Altogether it is a very brilliant little affair of much ele- So Much Depends on the Carriage of the Wearer as to Whether She Looks Her Best. I am sure every normal girl wants to look dainty and pretty, only she doesn't always know how to go about it. First and foremost let her stand straight. Stooping is a habit that one needs great will power to overcome. There is a dangerous tendency toward stooping shoulders in the present limp picturesque clothes now in fashion, but don't give way to it. Indulge in the baggy effects and Magyar and kimono styles, but don't stoop. Simply let them fall into natural, easy lines. A crumpled collar, a guimpe that is so small that it gapes in the back just between the hooks, a button missing where its absence is revealed, a plain pin where there should be a little silver or gilt safety pin, all these are calamities when one starts off in a hurry and then is suddenly conscious of them. Of what use is it to have a dainty blouse if you stoop so that it wrinkles and sags, or to have a handsome gown if you stand so badly that its graceful lines are spoiled. You've seen the girl who has a generous dress allowance, yet somehow cannot manage to look well dressed. We've all seen her. She exists everywhere. She wears her clothes badly in the first place, and she has not the slightest realization of the value of little things which go to make a successful toilette. Her ribbons are crumpled, her frillings are soiled, her collar is not neatly pinned down in the back, but insists upon riding up under her coat, so that it soon loses its pristine freshness.—Exchange. The Tricorne. Three-cornered toques never go quite out of fashion. They are too becoming. Not to all, however. A face like Jove, an eye like Mars, a nose like a distant mountain range, do not go well with the coquettish suggestion of such a form of headgear. It suits a saucy face, a mutinously defiant expression such as youth wears in some of its gayest moments. The latest edition of the tricorne has the point in the center, set on quite straight, material black velvet of felt, with a white feather rising high above the point. The hair is pushed down under it and appears in curls all round the face. To Protect Arms. To prevent my arms from being burned which I reach into the oven to baste meats or move baking dishes, I wear an arm protector. This is a long narrow bag made of an old piece of heavy bedticking large and long enough to slip on the hand and arm easily, up past the elbow. It is of more than one thickness, and is somewhat larger at the hand.—Kansas City Star. gance. Every one likes such furbellews. The girdle of wide velvet ribbon hardly needs description. This one is finished with a simple, flower-like bow. And the more this finishing bow looks like or suggests a big, rich flower, the more it meets with the approval of the lady of fashion. It is worn at the front or near the front of the bodice. The bow takes the place of those large velvet flowers which were and are so much liked as a finish to the dress. Sashes and girdles, it seems, are to reign another season. The styles demand them. If a woman excels in the management of her waist line—she is sure to be called stylish. We are just learning how important it is to give attention to this detail and how greatly we may vary the dressing of the waist effectively. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. THOSE whose business it is to think up pretty designs in lingerie, appear to have no mental pictures of garments in which ribbons are left out. All the lacy and dainty made undermuslinns shown, for spring are constructed to carry ribbons, not alone for decoration, but for fastening and holding the garments in place. For simple decoration, bows of all sorts with and without ends of baby ribbon and of wider ribbons, are made separately and pinned on with small safety pins. Narrow ribbon rosettes and bows are sewed to place with a few easily removed stitches. They are not supposed to need laudering as often as the body of the garment and are therefore removable. A new design for a nightgown is shown here, having a yoke made of alternating rows of Val lace and Swiss embroidery in narrow insertions. It is set onto the body of the gown with a band of embroidery. The fulness in the body of the gown is laid in very 1 narrow tucks at the front and there is a panel of wide embroidery at each side set in with embroidery insertion. The same wide embroidery appears on the top of the bell sleeves. The neck and sleeves are finished with a Val edging an inch and a half wide. A ribbon bow appears on each sleeve, at the end of each panel and at the neck. That one at the neck is made by the ends of ribbon run in a beading to adjust the gown to the figure. Nainsook or lawnsdale cambric or longcloth are the fabrics used for these gowns. Seams are felled and as a rule laces and insertions stitched together on the sewing machine. Gowns made by hand are far more expensive and in reality are more elegant. But the sewing machine saves much time and eyesight. Besides, the finished garment is pretty whether made by machine or hand. Renovating Black Gloves. Ink mixed with the white of an egg will make old black gloves look like new.
