why the sponge bag should not present
an attractive appearance, for few en-
terprising women with deft fingers have
certainly afforded models very pleasing
to look upon. Following is description
of one of these models, which may be
modified to suit the convenience of spe-
cial cases:
The bag under consideration is COM
posed of art serge, in this case a deep
shade of heliotrope and EN- broidered in
fax threads in terra cottas and subdued
greens. Procure quarter Of yard or
serge, 81 inches wide, which will mako
two bags For the lining buy the same
quantity of thin white macintosh of
rubber sheeting If it is So inches wide,
it will make two; if "a inches wide,
three bags But do not buy any interme-
diate width, or it will cut TO waste.
Gut your serge in two, fold one
piece in half and proceed to trace on it
the design you propose to work. As it
is useless to attempt ironing a pattern
on to serge, trace it on thin tissue paper,
pin it to the serge and tack along all
the lines with white cotton; then tear
away the paper and you have your pat
tern clearly traced, with the advantage

easily remove any strokes which are IN
necessary. The embroidery should be
about an inch from the bottom of tbs
bag.
When embroidered, place a net cloth
on the back Of the work and press with
hot iron. Sew up the bag on the
wrong side to the depth Of 81 inches,
rub the seam open, fold back the edges
of the remaining portion and tack them
down with invisible stitches. Turn the
bag and next prepare the macintosh.
Fold it with the glazed side inward.
stitch each side closely to the same
depth as the serge bag, making it a trihe
narrower; turn the edge over as Ii to
fell it, cut little off the under edge
and tack the other over it lightly for
about inches.
Slip this bag (without turning it) in
to the serge one, hem it on to the sides,
turn your serge down just over the edge

Disappointment and Disgust at Ad-
ministration Tactics

Atlanta Journal (Gold)
The conviction is growing that the
Republican party is attempting to
use the power that was given to it
last November with a fragrant dis.
regard OF the main object the voters
had in view when they gave it the
commission it now holds.
1t Is idle to say that the sweeping
Democratic victories at the local
eli ctions in the west this week were
due entirely to local causes. They
were too numerous and too general
TO admit of any such explanation.
Thew are for the most part attribu.
table to the distrust of the Republi.
can administration which has a.
ready become very strong though
that administration has been in
power only little more than
month. 1t may be said that the adj
ministration has not yet had time to
do anything. 1t has had time to
show its hand and many of those
who supported Republican candi-
dates or refused to support Demo
cratic candidates last fall have come
to the conclusion that the cards were
stacked on them.

| dress gave hope that he and his

what they had promised. Strict
/ economy in exp. 'itures was urged
! and the authorization of a commits
sion to prepare general scheme OF
| currency reform was strongly recon-
mended
| Congress was called to meet in
extra session and when it assem- bled
ten days after the Inauguration the
! country had reason to expect, both
on the basis OF campaign promis I
and the presidents inaug ural al
dress, that the reform OF the currency
would be an object OF immediate con-
sheraton.
But to the disappointment and
disgust of those Who had cherished
this hope, the president informed
congress that it should proceed at
once to increase the revenues of the
government by a higher tariff. Not
a word came from him then about
the necessity of economy and re-
trenchment. The cry was for more
money from taxation and currency

Of course serge or cloth will make
the most useful kind of sponge bags,

Buck Kitchin on the Populist Party


Raleigh Press-Visitor.
Captain Buck Kitchin made one of
his characteristic speeches at Scot
land Neck last week, which was at
tended largely by ladies. He de-
clared that he had no confidence in
any man who wants Office. Of the
political parties in North Carolina,
he said the Populist party, the party
with which he had affiliated two
years, had more rascals in it than
any other, according to it's number.
He said Marion Butler is the worst
man In it, and Harry Skinner next
worse. He declared there had been
an abortion of justice to the people
of North Carolina in their efforts for
financial reform, and he further de-
clared in thunderOus tones that the
people will not long submit to the
rule OF any race save that of the
Anglo-Saxon.

and Changeable Silks.
Grenadines, especially in black, are seen
in force among the spring goods and seem
likely to be much worn. There is an in
creasing fancy for more or less transparent
goods, and many of the spring woolens
show an openwork effect which suggests
the old fashioned lace bunting. These are
made up over a silk lining, often of a bril-
liant, contrasting color.
The new linons are much more elaborate
than those Of last year. Lace and embroid-
cry form part of the body of the fabric,
black and white on the natural ecru ground
being the most fashionable combination.
Flowered n,uslins are as thin as mist,
and the pattern does not show in a recog
nizable way until they are placed over
some more solid fabric. The designs are
very delicate and pretty, as are also the
challie designs.
Changeable silks are still immensely

The Making of q Tire.

It will come as surprise to many
cyclists to learn that the rubber in the
tires on their bicycles is, to use para
doxical expression, not rubber at all,
but only sulphide of rubber. 1.-THE
fact is" says a scientist, ''pure rubber
is only elastic in a very small degree
and is therefore practically useless to
incorporate in tire construction. 1t will
expand with pressure, but will not aft
erward recol to its normal dimensions.
To overcome this difficulty it is neces-
sary to mix large quantities of sulphur
with the pure rubber. By this process a
chemical action is set up, whereby the
sulphur fuses with the rubber and can
not afterward be separated. The sui
phur thus imparts to the rubber its all
important elasticity. New York Ad-
vertiser.

introduced, in the presence of crowded
chamber bill granting the government a
credit OF 23, ,0OO, 900 drachmas for the minis
tries of war and marine. The premier asked
the house to expedite the passage Of the
budget
Dealing with the development Of the for
eign situation he declared that the powers
had taken their stand on the principle OF the
integrity Of Turkey, but up to the present
had not expressed an opinion with regard
to the proposals Greece had made for pacific
solution of the difficulty. After dwelling
upon the right of the Cretans to settle their
own destinies, he declared that, despite all
which had happened, Greece still hoped the
powers would agree to peaceful settlement.
The situation on the frontier was not, he
said created by Greece but by the strange
policy of state which by strange armament
had compelled Greece to assemble an army
capable of coping with all eventualities and
of defending the interests and honor of the
country. (Sensation)
In concluding, M. Delyanns said the Greek
government was doing it's utmost to repair
the imperfections OF an army so hastily gath
cred and that he hoped that in the course
OF few days an army would be assembled
capable of doing it's full duty to the coun-
try. loud cheers.)
Deputy Ralli the leader OF the opposition,
thought that In view OF the existing circum-
stances the time was nod propitious to COM
mence a debate on the budget.
NJ. Delyannis agreed with this suggestion,
and said that tomorrow he would submit a
vote on account for three months.
