SIR THOMAS HOPEFUL.
Il Little Luck Only Needed, He
Says, to Bring Back Cup.
(By The Associated PressD

Glasgow March 17-Shamrock III was
launched to-day under the most successful con-
dfticns. Lady Shaftesbury. wife Of the Commo-
dore Of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, named the
yacht in the presence Of number OF distin-
guished guests. Large crowds gathered at the
Dennys' yards at Dumbarton, in spite of the
drenchng rain. which, however. ceased before
the arrival Of the special visitors train. Sir
Thor- Upton escorted Lady Shaftesbury to
the dais- Among others the platform were
the Earl and Countess of Mar and kellie. Lord
Uvertoun the Lord Provost OF Glasgow; the
Hon. Charles Russell. Reginald Ward. William
Fife. and Captains Wringe AMI BevIs.
At 1:13 p. N. Lady shaftesbury broke the bot
tie. saying:
christen you Shamrock. Mag God bless you
and may you bring back the Cup!
Then. amid loud cheers the pontoons on which
Shamrock III was resting slid easily into the
water.
After the launch Sir Thomas Upton said:
My third and perhaps my last shot at lifting
the Americas Cup will be the most serious and
think, the most hopeful Of my efforts. The Re-
lance may beat us, but 1t will not be because |
have not got the best boat British brains and
workTnen can produce. II the Cup stays IN

only increase my admiration for a people who

However" added Sir Thomas, laughing. "a
third defeat is. OF course quite out Of the ques-
ton"
At the luncheon which followed the launch.
after the toast King Edward and President
Roosevelt" had been drunk. the Lord Provost
proposed Success to the Shamrock and her

gown, again they are of jewel design or
of pearl. The size of the buttons varies
from tiny ones that are often seen in clus-
tiers, to those of such size that one but
ton alone makes itself heard. 1t is well
to price the button that you intend to
use for your dress before you start to
your dressmaker's, for unless expense
does not matter, you are likely to be sur
prised at the bill for buttons that will ac-
company the gown when sent home.
Jeweled buttons at several dollars apiece
soon count up in q gown whereon they
are to be used plentifully.
Model gowns in new wash goods in
crease in elaborateness and daintiness.
The shopper will find it hard to choose
among the organizes, for the designs are
numerous and handsome. New ways Of
decorating appear, In some cases seem
ing very fanciful. One example Of this
was a figured organdie in blue and corn
color trimmed with large medallions Of
white guipure. Each medallion was
trimmed round with ruffling of narrow
black valenciennes. Some thin gowns
are caught in several times the length
of the skirt by lace insertions. Fancy
silk insertions are very pretty, also very
open. Not a few new organizes, dimi-'
ties and dotted swisses are being made

Waterproof Boots at Home.

I have for the last five years used
successfully a dressing for leather
boots and shoes, composed of oil and
India rubber, keeping out moisture and
uninjurious to the leather applied, leav-
Ing same soft and pliable. To prepare
some, heat in an iron vessel either fish
oil, castor oil, or even tallow to about
$50 degrees Fahrenheit, then add, cut
into small pieces, vulcanized or raw
India rubber, about one-tifth the
weight of the oil, gradually stirring
same with a wood N spatula until the
rubber Is completely dissolved in the
oil; lastly, and to give it color, small
amount Of printers ink. Pour into a
suitable vessel and let cool. One or
two applications Of this are sufficient
to thoroughly waterproof pair or
boots or shoes for season. Boots or
shoes dressed will take common shoe
backing with the greatest facility

sun the arms and neck will have lace de-
signs tattooed on them in sunburn. Mex
lean work, too, is very open, and is EN-
ployed similarly. Very few colored shirt
waists are seen, white and black and
white predominating. Some waists are
expensive garments, after all, when laun-
dering is counted. Fine embroidered linen
shirt waists that fasten in the back, give
opportunity for elaborate embroidery in
front The back opening may be fast
ened with buttons plainly showing, or in
yisibly under center pleat. Some all
lace waists open on the left shoulder and
under the arm.
Tailor styles are long ways from that
simplicity which ia supposed to be any
thing but inconspicuous. There are two
re asons for this. One is the large num-
Der of white or exceedingly light colored
suits, and the other is the beauty of "fan-
cy tailormades." which is great enough
to insure the continuance Of any fashion.
Not much study of tailoring Is needed to
convince the observer that all new goods
are to be had in white. Of all the white
tailor stuffs Sicilian seems the best, az
| its witness enables it to shed much OF
| the dirt that SO quickly will soil other
goods. The same quality, too, makes II
bear cleansing successfully. A handsome

dust shedding quality, also but ts a less
degree than Sicilian. White cheVtots and
broadclotbs are dpst catchers, though
when spick and span they are extremely
swagger. The other grade of tailor suits
to stand out Is lace trimmed. Much
trimmed tailor suits prevailed all win
ter, so women should not be surprised at
their continuance. The point that stag
gers Is that lace appears in them. Ii
seems as if highly wrought tailoring that
showed only tailor establishment should
have sufliced. Many tailors hold strong
ly to this viewpoint, becoming seriously
displeased IL customer orders n lace
trimmed garment and styles it tailoring.
But though the tailor's criticism-that
lace may not be pulled enough to secure
accurate fit-has truth in it, these dresses
increase in numbers.
Representatives of both grades find
place in to-day's pictures, description Of
which will also point the fact that lace
is put on white, at times. The initial pic
ture shows a voile of very light gray. It
was banded with vole on which gray
covered buttons were arrow. AT the

ian self-strapped, finished with white

combination of tan wolfe and dotted wolfe,
the latter's background matching the
plain, the dots black. Then, in the next
picture, comes gray etamine banded
with gray cluny, and last is combina-
ton of white material and lace trim
mings. Here they were, respectively,
aeolienne and antique lace AS Is hint
ed by the first two of these, tailors arc
using even more button trimming than
they did in the winter. Sometimes the
buttons are of the same material as the

An Immense Log Cabin.

A 'log cabin" that when completed
will cost something over $4,000 is in
process of erection on Warren's Island,
Off the coast of Maine. Some idea OF
the size of the cabin" may be gained
from the fact that twenty-five large
sleeping apartments will occupy the
second floor. A fireplace of brick and
granite, conspicuous on the ground
floor, will have mantel twelve feet
in length, three in width and nine
inches in thickness. The outermost
layer of the cabin" is of spruce logs.

An Army or Rat.Catchers.

In the wine cellars at Limehouse IN
London are twenty miles Of lanes,
lined on either side by huge casks OF
wine. They are = paradise for rats.
and the only way in which the pests
are kept within reasonable limits as to
numbers In by employing a small army
Of 300 cats. These cats must catch
rats or starvs. and the result - that
they are probably the most skillsd

the Emerald Isle.
The return OF the British registrar
general for ireland indicates that II the
ratio Of decline In the population for
the next dfty years Is the same as dur
ing the last half century there will be
very few Irish people left--at least in
Ireland. The number OF births, which
In 1901 was 10S.118 fell last year to
100, 976. or nearly 5000 less than the
average Of the ten years. Marriages,
q, 564 In number, were slightly over
the average, and deaths totaled 1918,
as compared with $500 in 1891 and
30, GA In 1892. and decennial aver
age Of S3,6O4. The number Of emil
grants, which ten years ago was 3d.
1913. fell to S9,613, as compared with
ten years average of 1888. The stu
alton will be understood by comparing
the population figures calculated to the
middle OF last year with those Of Ire
lands period of maximum population
and the figures for 1924, when the col
lection of vital statistics was first sys-
tematlzed These returns show the fol-
lowing results:
Year. Male Female. Total.
1924. -. .3,471,s2O 3,606,320 7,07S, 146

1901. -. .2.194,716 2,250,014 4,445,O3o
From these figures it will be seen
that the population in the middle Of
last year was 1882, $40 less than 1t was
seventy eight years ago, and If the es-
timated population In the middle Of the
present year.. 425, 000-be compared
with that Of the maximum year, the
diminution in ffty-six years will be
found to reach the astonishing figure
of 3,S7O,O61.
