The Newest STYLE In Hair,

Newport has set another new fash
ion. According to late dispatch, q
society young woman appeared on
Bellevue avenue In the famous social
center a few days ago with her golden
hair carelessly dangling down over her
shoulders. Some of her friends thought
her hair was especially becoming to
her that way, and they tried 1t them
selves. The result is that the new
fashion has been fairly started, and all
the women who profess to be in good
form will probably adopt 1t before the
summer Is over.
The woman with abundant and luxu-
RANT tresses will no doubt thank her
lucky stars for this innovation, but
how about the woman with scant and
struggling locks? Hitherto she has
been able to put on switch without
letting the world notice it. Perhaps
she will find some way to fasten 1t to
her head and let its strands mingle
with her own meager ones as they
hang over her shoulders. 1t is to be
hoped that this may be possible, as
otherwise there will be no little suffer.
Ing, many heartaches and the exhibit
ton Of much Jealousy. Every woman
who does not follow the new fashion is
likely to be accused Of having only
store hair on her head, and a great deal
OF injustice would thus be done.
On the whole, 1t Is unfortunate that
the Newport girl happened to be seen
when "her golden hair was hanging
down her back" but as the trouble has
started and the new fashion has been
1naugurated the women folks, whether
OF Astounding tresses or meager locks
must make the best Of 1t. As for mas.
culine humanity, 1t can stand It ex-
cept In cases where auburn haired
wives find black hairs on the shoulders
OF their husbands coats, and vice
versa.

atmospheric conditions. Rains are
more regular In sections covered by
trees than elsewhere. and the foods are
not so severe. The rainfall Is more
gradual and extends over a greater
time.
Mr.. Brown calls attention 10 another
and even more serious result Of the
destruction OF the wooded area of the
country. This is the gradual erosion
OF the soil. as We are told that. the
rains having washed the productive
soil into the river. the fields will be-
come sterile where they are now ex-
ceedingly fertile. The less fertile be-
come the fields, OF course, the smaller
the population they will support The
vast volume of silt which annually
flows down such great rivers as the
Mississippi and Missouri represents the
ruin Of thousands Of acres of land up
stream which has lost Its anchorage
because of the denudation Of the hill
sides and the slopes. Acres upon acres
OF productive soil are being emptied
into the gulf Of Mexico with regular

must bring poverty upon the agricul-
tural classes up stream, and with the
poverty of the agricultural will come
the poverty of all other classes.
After making due allowance for the
overzeal Of the specialist 1t must be ad-
United that the dangers which Mr..
Brown predicts are not altogether i'm
aginary. They are more real and
threatening than most people realize.
The remedy. of course, is to restore the
forests. but the planting of 100000
trees annually while above 100000
acres are at the same time being de-
nuded will not do it. There ought to
be tree planted for every one felled

ANGLES Letter,
The Democracy vs.. Social
Democrats.

1t is truly said that, "There are few
terms in common use so elastic in def
milton as socialism," In fact all who
adhere to the golden rule are socialists
But the principles advocated by con
sentative democrats as the means h,
which "Liberty, Equality, and Frater
nifty are to become an actually are the
antithesis of those which would prevail
under political system of socialism
The conservative democrat would have
an administration in accordance with
the views OF the founder of democracy
In our own country, who believed that
men were best governed who least felt
the control of government. The social.
ist would greatly extend the powers of
government. True democrats desire
That young men should be afforded equal
opportunities to achieve fortune. dis.
tinction, and position. Socialists deny
the right of any to attain to fortune
and distinction. They desire to ulti-
mately effect an equal distribution of
the worlds wealth, while the conserva.
tive democrat says, government shall
not interfere in the private domestic
concerns of the people.

NEW CORNELL FIELD.

Ithacans to Have Extensive Athletic
Grounds ON College Campus.
Work will be begun on Cornell's new
athletic field at Ithaca, N. Y, on Sept.
Is. This decision was reached at the
recent meeting of the committee in
charge of the athletic fund, when 1t
was announced by G. w. Bason Of
New York, chairman of the committee,
that $4,000 had already been sub
scribed and that $4,000 would be
available on Sept. Is, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser.
The plans for the new field include
more than a mere football gridiron, a
diamond and a track. A large play
ground will be constructed where stu
dents not interested in regular athlet-
les may secure outdoor exercise. The
new field will be directly east Of the
veterinary college, on portion Of the
an area Of fifty-fve acres, twenty Of
which will be devoted to university
playground and the rest to varsity
athletic field.
The playground must be finished
first. This was the condition upon
which the board of trustees Of the uni
versity granted the land to the field
committee. 1t will be laid out with
tennis courts, baseball diamonds and
the like. By its agreement with the
board of trustees the field committee
will not expend less than $4,000 on
this portion Of the field.
The athletic field proper will cover
thirty-five acres and will be some ten
or twelve feet above the level Of the
playground. Its baseball diamond and
its gridiron will be separate. The run
ming track will be half mile in length.
The grand stand will be constructed Of
steel, and the general equipment Of
the field will be as fine as that Of any
college in the United States. With sub
scriptions turned into cash, as agreed,
the work, costing in all some $4,000
will be completed in two years.

fields are not worked, while the coun-

Washington, Aug. 14.-Acting Sec.

another cablegram from Minister
Beaupre at Bogota. The minister
states that no final action has yet
been reached on the canal treaty. He
saws that q number of amendments
have been proposed, which have not
been acted upon by the Colombian
senate. While the cablegram is
very definite the impression at the

principal amendments is in regard to
an increase in the amount of money
to be paid by the United States to
Colombia for the canal concession.
