GUESSING ABOUT THE
TRUST ORGANIZATION

New York, June 2.-Just what will
come out of the attempted reorganiza-
ton of the Shipbuilding Trust, the
United states Shipbuilding Company,
of which the Harlan and Hollinss-
worth Company is member, is im-
possible to say. That the concern
should make such a lamentable showing
during the first year of its corporate eX-
istence is indeed surprising. Those
who paid sos for the preferred shares
and S25 for common stock must be the
chief sufferers. II they were fortunate
enough to accept the curb's recent bid
of 81 and 50, they may fare a triile bet
ter than those who are unable to send
good money after bad. The incident
makes clear the real need for some
thoroughgoing. intelligent and comrre-
hensive system Of corporation reports
disclosing such features of manage
ment as railroads have found il nsc
essary to make public.
The time is fast approaching wten
the investing public of the Unite /
Sttaes (there is none more reasonable
or more intelligenD, will reject the
securities of an industrial corporation
that has not sufficient confidence in It's
stockholders to give them the inforua-
tion they have a right to possess. III
other words, il win be impossible for 'in
industrial concern to market its secur p
ties much longer on the blind poof
basis alone. More than the public wil.
demand a straightforward e1hibil
of earnings. giving sufficient detail to
acniiaint stockholders with the exact
condition of the property as regards
present and prospective development.

To Clean Feathers

To clean white ostrich plumes take half
a pound OF pure white soap and shave very
fine, dissolving in a gallon Of water rather
more than luke-warm. Rub the feathers
with this lather, taking care to move the
fingers downward toward the tips. After
thorough soaping and squeezing between
the fingers rinse the feathers in clean
water as hot as can be borne by the hands.
Shake each plume before warm fire, and
in all probability the curl will return
naturally If not you can induce it by
drawing each fibre over the back of a
penknife. a task requiring patience and
care.

OF the servants who with a broom made it
very warm for the dog, who finally seeing
an open door made a break for liberty
The door led into the saloon and several
convivial fellows were there auenching
their thirst and arguing about baseball.
Hearing the commotion they turned as
one man and seeing the frightened animal
coming toward them at full speed beat Il
hasty retreat. They climbed upon the bar,
tables and chairs to get away from the
supposed mad dog, who looked as though
he was on destruction bent.
John Campbell and William Quill armed
themselves with clubs and revolvers and
gave chase, but did not succeed in finding
the animal. After returning from their
hunt the true case was stated to them.

For an Oily Skin

An oily skin is very humiliating to its
possessor at all times, and especially so
when the thermometer goes up to summer
heat. A beauty expert advises THE daily
application of alcohol diluted with rose
water.
Two or three times a day will not be too
often in the case Of a very oily complex.
ion. A thorough sponging should be given
the brow, chin and nose, where the oil
glands are said no be largest and most
active.
Alcohol IS not only drying, but also
stimulating in its effect. When rubbed in
it will increase the surface circulation,
and so tends to promote good color and
fine texture in the cuhcle.

How They Are Made and Uses to
Which They Are Put.
The lantern of the east is as old as
civilization. Its primary object Is TO
protect the flame from sudden drafts.
Beyond this is the concentration of
light for the convenience of a reader
and, last and least the regard for beau
ty. The olaest form is q perforated
Vylinder or rectangular box. OF this
type there are numbcrless varieties. old
and new. The ancient ones which have
been preserved are of iron copper and
brass, nearly all simple in construction
and finish, ~ Il few richly decorated.
Occasionally one runs across lanterns
made of silver or ivory. These come
from palaces or temples and in most
instances are richly carved. Not in
frequently the perforations are fitted
with pieces of colored glass, rock crys-
tai, amethyst and garnet.
In China and Japan the travellers or

sphere or ellipsoid ranging from six
inches to two and even three feet in
diameter, made of oiled paper. cloth or

show the rank of its owner by the col

usually twice its width. Each side Is

or decorated. From the angles hang
pendants of many sorts. The frame

are employed. Often the sides of the
lanterns are alternately wood and

ground designs and the former richly

Upon the pendants the artificers put
their hardest work. Some are made of

are strings of little bells. which ring

glittering tinted glass balls betray the
