When to Part Hair in Middle.

The girl with the high fore.
head should wear her hair
down low over her brow.
If she has a low, smooth,
white brow, she should brush
her hair we'll off the forehead.
The girl with an intellige at
brow or a fair share Of youthful
beauty can afford to draw her
hair back in loose waves, sans
pompadour or parts, and coil il
on the neck.
For elderly matrons the pom
padour is diguitied and stately,
and it seems to increase the
height of stout women.
The round, shapely head
looks we'll with a soft puff o.
hair at the nape of the neck,
Every woman should study
her own style, If she looks
best with her hair low, then low
she should wear it, though
every other woman in the land
is pilirg her hair on the top oil
her head.
A wise women never curls OF
frizzes or overdresses her hair
if it is beautiful of itself. -

H. B. Frey Of Minneapolis and T. F.
Scion of Duluth are interested In a new
variety of slot machine that will provide
all the sights and sounds of frst-class
dramatic production at the rate Of 5
cents an act. A similar invention is now
exciting applause In Germany.
Mr.. Scion the inventor of the auto
matte theater, Is now in Chicago super
intending the manufacture of his ma
chimes. Twenty Of them have already
been completed. He has organized a
company with an authorized capital of
SO, 900, 900. He is the president, the sec
rotary and treasurer Is Mr.. Frey, who
has financially aided the enterprise. The
directors include Former Governor G. w.
Pee kof Wisconsin and w. E. Upton,
president Of the South Dakota state
board Of charities.
The machine itself resembles the NOV
ing picture cabinets which crowd the
downtown penny arcades. In the upper
half of the case is the motion picture
mechanism, and in the lower part the
photograph, so adjusted that every mo-
ton in the picture corresponds to the

PREDICTS CHURCH UNION
Rev. DR.. Coyle Says the Twelve Pres
byterian Churches Will Anal
ga1nate Shortly.

Denver, COL, Sept. 11.-Rev DR.. K. +.
Coyle, moderator Of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church. who has just
returned to his home in this city from
a. lecture tour in the east, believes that
the time is not far distant when the
twelve different Presby churches In
the United States will become one. This
probability, he says, is due to the recon
struction Of the creed of his denomlna-
ton, which took place last May. Calvin
istic and Armenian lines, which nave so
long kept his and the Cumberland Prespy-
terrain churches separated. have now, ne
says, been effaced, and at present no dls-
tinctions other than ceremonial separate
the two great religious orders that be-
gan as one in the days of Cromwell.
Another step" said DR.. Coyle, that
our church took at the last general as
senbIy in May, and one that tends to-
ward the unity idea, is to emphasize
Christian education. With intellectual
development many sordidA distinctions
that tend to keep churches separated, VIII
be obliterated.
"Our church now has an educational
committee and upon it has been imposed
the duty of raising $12,o00,0O0 for edu-
cational purposes Most Of. this money
will be spent upon schools In the west
for our institutions Of learning IN the east
are in good shape financially

DUFRESNE BID LOWEST
Attorney General Rules on Offers to
Publish Decisions Of the
Supreme Court.

Rival publishers have again locked
horns over the contract to print and bind
the decisions Of the szGreme court The
six-year contract Of Frank p. Dufresne
has expired, and last winter he asked the
legislature to renew it. The Keefe-Da-
wilson company also made a proposal,
and after a long struggle the legislature
left it to the secretary of state to let
the contract to the lowest bidder.
Bids were opened Sept. 1. The Keefe-
Davidson company offered to furnish all
the books at a fiat rate Of $1,04. Du-
fresnes bid was for the 425 copies fur
nished to the state and $1.25 for the gem
eral public. Being In a quandary as to
which was the lower bidder Secretary
Hanson asked an opinion from the attor-
ney general. The opinion received to-
day was that Dufresne made the lowest
bid, but that If he gets the contract he
must furnish the volumes to the general
public at 81 each, the same figure that
the state gets.

south and northwest because of the crops being
late, but this is less noticeable at the, south.

Philadelplias long -drawn-out textile strike is
practically broken but all the men have not gone
back yet. 4 general curtailment Of anthracite
coal production is due to half time at the mines
which will affect 15o,oo0- miners and may cur.
tail wage distribution by nearly $2.000,O00. The
outlook is for lighter pig iron production, late
cuts in prices, putting more stacks on non:
paying basis. Rumors of reduction in steel
prices are not confirmed. There Is less activity
in glass, building, silk and cotton industries
for the moment, but early revivals are counted
on in all Of them. -
