WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. a.
DR.. George L. Adams of the United
States geological survey has been in
speeding the sulphur mines in Nevada
He says that With little tariff pro.
lection the United States would soon
be independent of the italian sulphur
which is now the chief source Of sup
ply. In telling about the region DR..
Adams says that the deposit was dis
covered IS years ago by an Indian, WHO
sold it for horse and saddle, which
he never received. In 1874 the mine
was worked by two partners, white
men, who quarreled ovVr their profits
until one of them killed the other, cut
him up, put him in q sack. and buried
him. For long time the ghost Of
the murdered miner had things all his
own way. Then corporation that
was ghost-proof, as well as soulless,
entered the field. In defiance of the
ghost the corporation has entered into
the production Of sulphur and brim-
stone on large scale.

He wound himself up the folds of

fell, the towel catching him. And,
swinging back and forth, far from be-

ed to Liza: "Come see t, Liza; come

and had passed on to the dining room.
Miss Mary rescued the boy from his
comfortable swing, set him upright and
gave him little push toward the din

Joe cast one longing look at the roll

not all accident.

SCRUBBED FOR DINNER

StRt BBED tOt DlN MEX.
Saturday was gloomy day so far
as the weather was concerned, but
there was sunshine at the day nursery,
sunshine for two reasons. Miss Hart
was there-that made sunshine for the
children. Joe was there, and that
made sunshine for Miss Hart.
Miss Hart was always there, but
sometimes Joe's mother had no scrub
bling to do, and on such days she kept
3-year-ol Joe at home and saved the
5 cents which she paid for Joe's care
and Joe's dinner on the days when
there were washings and scrubbings
away from home.
1t was dinner time and every dirty
face wore panied expression, for the
wash up was not the delight it
should have been.
Come Joe, said the nurse per-
suasvely. But Joe was busy.
"See here, Miss Hart" he cried, ig-
noring the unwelcome summons to the
washbowl. "See Joe's automobile!
Want to see t rum
"Why yes, should like to see it
run, but not until after dinner" an
swered Miss Hart cheerily.
Come joe" again urged the patient
nurse, who, understanding Joe's ten
dency toward procrastination and his
aversion to dampness had begun upon
another pair of grimy hands.
Come on, Miss Hart, if You want
to see tt" shouted the sturdy diplomat
"Come on in here, Miss HART" and
the fat legs carried the square body
into another room beyond the reach
of the voice of the nurse. Miss Hart
followed.
"See t go up hill, Miss Hart? See
IT,"
Eyes, Joe. I see it, but Miss Mary
is calling you" L.
"Joe don't hear 'er, Miss Hart. See
t run round the room, Miss Hart?'l
"Come, joel" again sounded Miss
Mary's voice. I'll
eliza. Liza!" shouted Joe. "Come
here and see the aut'mobile! Como
here"
Liza little roly poly colored girl,
came promptly. What she saw was
very undignifed toy engine with
very dignifed name, pushed by Joe'A
very dirty finger
"See IT," urged Joe.
"Come, Joe, comet"
'Liza's coming for t, Miss May!
Liza, 60 be washed" commanded the
young lord Of the nursery. And Liza
went. Miss Hart went out, too, and
Joe knew that his hour was drawing
near. h
"Now, Joel" and it was Miss Hart
this time.
Coming, Miss HART" and at last he
went.
The sleeves of the red sweater wkre
turned up, with the first turn caRe
the first whimper. At the second Il, IN
came the next whimper, and by ese
time the wash cloth was soaped the
whimper had developed into very
respectable and wholly recognizable
yell. When the soap touched his face
he was shouting Justify.
."Joe is Miss Mary's good boy" coax
ed Miss Mary, still scrubbing. "Joe

youngster.

MISS ANITA NEWCOMB McGEE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. l2,-
The distinction of being the only wo-
man eligible to membership in the
Spanish War Veterans will soon be-
long to Lieutenant Surgeon Anita New
comb McGee. She has been sponsor
of Nelson A. Miles command. A let
ter has come to her from Captain Hill
ton of New Jersey, chairman OF the
committee on laws of the organization
stating that the constitution has been
changed SO that after January | con-
tract surgeons who served during the
war with Spain will be admitted to
membership. No mention of sex is
made in the clause providing for the
change. DR.. MCGEE proposes to take
advantage of it, resign her position
as sponsor of Miles command and be-
come full-fedged member. During
the Spanish war DR.. MCGEE had charg;
of the corps Of nurses. She had the
rank of first lieutenant and is the only
woman who ever held a commission az
an officer in the United States army
Army officers, especially Surgeon
General Sternberg, were at the begin
ning of the war strongly opposed to
the employment OF women nurses. An
army in the field, they said, was nc
place for woman. Wiser counsels
prevailed and the women went to the
front. The justified, too, the strongest
claims of their friends. Wounded and
sick soldiers came to regard them as
ministering angels.
DR.. MCGEE was foremost among thost
who won the battle for the recogni.
ton of the women. Her skill, tact
and charm Of manner and her resource
fitness as an executive early won thu
admiration Of the army officials. Ir
the end those who had been most op.
posed to the women were foremost IL

A FEW HINTS.

Velvet is a favorite fabric for dresses
and hats.
Moleskin muffs are the latest whims
of fashion.
Hats shapes seem to run to the point
in front.
The new braided silk hats have made
a tremendous hit
Chenille trimmings are having a good
deal of popularity. There are chenille
embroideries done on net, often dyed
the same color, and BEAUTIFUL chenille
fringes.
Wool crash and cotton poplin are
two popular weaves for winter waists
Also our old friend, Bedford cord, ia
seen, hand embroidered and brought
thoroughly up to date.
The little capes which have been a
feature of the coats for some time are
longer than formerly. and the indica-
tons are that they will form a sleeve,
falling in folds around the arm.

SIDEWALKS AS SKATING Kinks

SIDEWALKS AS SKATING Kinks.
Editor Press: Can nothing be done
to stop the practice of many of the
children in using the sidewalks as skat-
ing Kinks, This was the topic of con-
versation between a number Of us wo-
men who reside on the hillside yester-
day. We do not want to curtail the
pleasures of the children, but up here
we have distinct grievance because
Of the inclined streets. They are hard
enough to climb at any stage, but when
there is ice or snow it is doubly and
trebly hard. A few days ago we had
frozen mist covering the sidewalks with
glaze which the children Immediately
took as good fortune, for they were
soon sliding and skating. The surface
became so smooth that pedestrians had
to take to the street. Now, with the
arrival of snow, we shall probably see
skating galore. We keep our walks
clean, but it is impossible to remove
all the glaze, and the runners of the
skates made the walks slippery. is
there a way to stop it and work none
an injury? HILLSIDE.
