items of Interest Concerning Dress
Details That Are Now
in Vogue.

1t is really remarkable to note how
the trimming is being pushed off the
shoulders.
A dyed lace waist OF brown is very
pretty made over a brown taffeta
lining.
One effective way to use very mar
row gold braid is to border cloth pan
els with it.
Some especially smart walking suits
are being made up for early spring in
wooden etamine.
There Is nc doubt that 1t is to be a
velvet spring. for the new velvets are
not only beautiful in color, but deli
cate in texture.
The cameo is now set in a little gold
rim and so arranged that 1t can be
sewed into the yoke of the gown as
an ornament.
The appearance of tie girdlo almost
indicates that it is to- be a sash sum-
mer, and, in fact, the first of the sum
mer dresses all seem To have sashes Of
one kind or another.
Many Of the very full skirts which
have come in for evening wear are
finished with a row of fringe around
the bottom. Others terminate in a
row of paquin tucks, being untrimmed
except for this treatment.

TROLLEY BRIDGING
CENTRAL R.R. TRACKS.
Traction Company Connecting Key
port and Red Bank Soon
Completed.

Work is now progressing rapidly on
the bridge of the Jerey Central Trac-
ton Company which is in course of
erection ver the tracks of tho New
Jersey Central railroad, about n
quarter of a milo south of the new
electric power house near Keansburg.
The structure will be a substantial
one and up to the standard of q rail
road bridge.
After the completion of the bridge,
trolley cars will run through from
Keyport to Red Bank without change,
which will save the great inconveni-
ence of walking several hundred feet
from II a to another and the long
waits which are sometimes necessary
at the junction of the two roads in
order to make connections.

HEALTH is CONTAGIOUS.
There Is Too Much Study of Disease
and Not Enough of Physical

A woman physician, in addressing her
audience the other day, gave some help

than Is disease. Eve about come to the
conclusion that we physicians study
disease TOO much and health too little

during our student years, we have an
average of only one hour a week devoted
to hygiene, and two, perhaps, to physt-

DANIEL BooNE's PosTERITY
More Than Fifty of the Great Hunters
Descendants Are Living in
Indianapolis.

f. NJ. Sperry, who is compiling a book
of biographical records of Indianapolis
and vicinity, has found that in Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois there are
numerous descendants of Daniel and
Squire Boone, brothers. Apparently
there are more than so descendants of
Daniel Boone in Indianapolis, says the
New York Herald ~'"'"n'"' a
The grandfather of Daniel Boone,
George, was born at Stoak, near Exeter,
England, in 1866. His father was a
blacksmith, but he learned the trade Of
a weaver, and, while learning this trade
at Bradnich, he met Mary Maugridge.
They were the parents of nine children
George, Sarah, Squire, Mary. John,
Joseph, Benjamin, James and Samuel.
Family tradition says that young
George, Sarah and Squire were sent to
America in 1872 and spent several
months inspecting. Sarah and Squire
were left in Pennsylvania, George re-
turning to England. The entire family
sailed from Bristol, England, for Phila-
delphia, arriving in October, 1717. Phil
adelphia was then but a village, and they
settled first at Abingdon, ~ to IA miles
north, among Quaker farmers.
Squire Boone married in July, 1929,
Sarah, a daughter of John Morgan. In
1870 he bought $50 acres eight miles
southwest of Reading, Pa. He erected
n log house and in this cabin was born,
November, 1871, Daniel Boone, his
fourth son and sixth child of Squire and
Sarah Boone.
Daniel Boone married Rebecca Bryan,
a daughter of Morgan Bryan, in 1855,
and the same year William Bryan mar
ried Mary Boone, sister of Daniel. Dan
iel Boone's children were James, born
in 1887; Israel, in 1853; susanna, in 1850;
Jemima, in 1862; Lavinia, in 1866; Re-
becca, in 1853; Daniel Morgan, in 1863;
John b., in 1913. and Nathan, in 1880.
The four daughters married and died
in Kentucky. The two eldest SONS were
killed by Indians and the three younger
sons emigrated to Missouri.
Edward L. Mckee, vice president of
the Indiana national bank; Mrs. Hiram
p. WATSON, wife of a local merchant,
and other prominent descendants in In
d~ianapolis are descendants of the ia
nous pioneer or his brother.

Waste Of Nerve Energy.

SO m3uy people needlessly and reck-
lessty waste their nerve energy, says
Medical Talk. They drum the chair or
the desk with their fingers or tap the
floor with their toes. They hold their
hands. They sit in a rocking chair and
rock for very dear life. If they go up
stairs they make the whole body do the
work that was intended only for the
legs. If they write or sew they get
down to il with a vengeance and con-
tract their brows and wrinkle their
~foreboaGs and grind their teeth. If
they have an unusual task to do they
screw and contract and contortion ev-
cry muscle of the body, making them
selves tense and rigid all over, when
the work perhaps required but one set
of muscles or perhaps the mind only,
as the case might be-. Waste nerve en-
ergy. Frittering it away. Little things
to be sure. But little things have a way
of adding themselves up into big
things.

Montana Courtship.

The following dialogue took place
between a rural swain of Montana and
his lady love. The story is vouched for
by an editor of the local newspaper:
Silas had been sitting by his sweet
heart beneath the grapevine in the
yard and the pale moonlight of a
northern summer evening was softly
stealing through the vines, giving the
whole scene the color of a fairy cav
ern, n Silas had reached the point
"whar | jest had ter ak her or bust"
Creeping closer to the blushing maid
en-, who sat silently toying with her
palmleaf fan, he said:
"Tve er great mind ter bite yo'."
"What fur, Silas?"
because yo' won't have me-" q"
"Well, you hain't axed me-" ~
"Well, Pm gwine to-"
"Well, I'm a-awaitin'."
"Now I aXed yer"
"Then I'll have yer"
And then the pale moon blushed a
crimson red and the old lop-eared
hound lying by the gate gave chase
to anneighbor's ~intruding pig.AButte

DISCUSSING LAND EXCHANGE,

Governor Carriers first proposal for
land exchange. which he has pre-
scented for public discussion, has thus
far met only with objection. If there
are any citizens outside those directly
interested who favor this particular
transfer they have not made them
selves heard.
There has been some private objec-
ton to this proposal having been made
public by the Governor This, how
ever is OF little moment. II Is true
there Is no written law requiring the
Governor to acquaint the taxpayers
with land exchanges under considera-
ton. There Is, however, moral Obli-
cation to every citizen Of the Territory
that they should know what Is being
done with the community property
which executive officers of the Terri
tory are authorized to handle in trust,
Some go so far as to suggest that the
Governor advocates the Kapapala
rGnch-Normal School site exchange be-
cause he is directly or indirectly in
terested in the ranch property on ac-
count of his holdings in Hawaiian Ag-
ricultural and Brewer & Co. stock.
This contention falls to the ground
by reason OF the publicity given the
proposition. Had the Governor a pri-
vate axe to grind, he could easily have
carried the exchange through with the
