PuzzIine Skirts

Clothes are much more involved and
Intricate than ever before, and there
are 80 many new fads and fancies that
Ii really requires serious thought 10
plan out a satisfactory wardrobe.
Skirts are most puzzling-the shape
design, trimmings and above all the
length must be carefully considered.
one rule is that all walking skirts shall
be short; the next ultimatum-for all
Fashions rules are I'm the nature Of an
ultimatum--is 10 the effect that skirts
must belong, as Inc short skirt IS so
extremely unbecoming. At this season
of the year. when so many different
styles Of gowns must be made up there
must be a frock TO wear for days
shopping. for travelling for yachting,
etc. In yelling, a short gown is not ef-
fective. and yet yelling gowns are me-
cessary, and 80 It goes until the prob
lem seems almost unsolvable.
Flounced skirts are immensely fash
ionable, and bid fair to be more and
more popular, and IL Is extraordinary
how many different STYLES Of founces
there are; so narrow they are more in
the nature of rufies, put on in gathered
or pleated effect, or quite scant; so ar
ranged that one founce falls over the
other or that there a wide space be-
tween-and so on Indefinitely.

Through Other Eyes

A woman who has been looking at her

of a foreigner says that The criticisms she
has heard have been rather humiliatingly
shocking. She is a teacher, and boards
through her working season in a small in

also live a number Of young men She
has seen with surprise the number Of
notes, telephone messages and telegrams
that the young men receive from the

the body and forms skirt, garment

accordion folds in front, wound round
and round, and the richest end, If en-

brought over the head. II may be of
simple cotton cloth of silk plain in
design woven with golden threads
solid with embroidery; strung with
pearls or of Kincob, the royal cloth OF
gold. Some cost thousands of rupees.
No pin hook button, or string. The
garment is formed on the architecture
of the body and takes its expression
and nobility from its perfect harmony
with the lines OF the human form. And
Indian women, whether of high or low
class, have Jewels everywhere; have
sleeping-gems and day-gems, as we
have day and night shirts.

FOR WOMEN
Indian Bead Work

/ watched an Indian woman doing
the native beadwopk which has be-
come such a fad everywhere, writes an
woman. Every time she dip
ped her needle in the plate of tiny
beads a bead slid up the hairlike bit
of steel and clung there as II it had
been glued into place. Occasionally
the needle held twenty or thirty beads,
which never came slipping off, as mine
had a habit Of doing. 1 asked her
why. She looked inscrutable and Dip
ped the needle in a small bottle OF
water which stood at her elbow. That
was the secret. The moistened needle
made the beads stick together as well
as stay on the needle. l tried it and
now am able to do beadwork twice as
quickly as before.

UNCLE SAM Is AFTER
ALASKA TIMBER CUTTERS
Price Must Be Paid for
Product

TACOMA, Wash, June 2s-The Cen
eraI Land Office has commenced to en-
force its recent ruling that cutters Of
timber in Alaska must pay full value
for the same. Through Receiver Null
lin of the Juneau Land Office, formal
demands have been made on the Moore
Wharf Company and the Northwest
Light and Power Company. both Of
Skagway, for payment of wood cut by
them.
The Government asks $1,000, which
would be about the retail price for the
wood and piles cut within the last
year. The General Land Office refuses
to accept settlement on a basis of %
cents per cord as was done at Ram
pert and lower Yukon points last year
The price charged by the Government
is S. per cord for wood and 912 cents
per foot for piling- The Government
claims the right to collect pay from
either those who cut timber or those
who consume il. All those concerned
hav refused TO pay tn demands and
will make further presentation Of their
case TO the General Land Office.

DUMONT VICTIM
OF VANDALISM
Culprit Cuts and Slashes
With Dull Knife Airbag
of the Inventors Machine
WORK Is DONE AT NIGHT
Cowardly Trick May Pre-
vent Aeronaut Making As
cenSiOn Oh Fourth of July

ST. LOUIS. June 2S.-Some time
during the night the bag of Santos
Dumont's airshiD at the Worlds Fair
grounds was cut and slashed in such
a manner as to preclude all possibility
of its being repaired in time TO allow
an ascension on July 4. There are at
least twenty long rips in the bag and
Professor Carl Meyers, who has
charge of the aeronautic contests. to-
day said that it will take at least two
weeks to repair the damage.
The big gas bag had not yet been
taken from the crate in which it came
from Paris. The cover had been re-
moved By a customs inspector and
the crate was rolled into the center
of the big shed prepared for the air
ship. Being of an adhesive material,
the bag was hung in folds from Stats
nailed near the top of the crate, and
in this way was prevented from be-
coming q solid mass because of its
own weight. There were several folds
of the-bag over each slat and the van
dal drew his knife across these, cut
ting through from two to four thick
nesses of the material with each
slash The work evidently was done
in haste. There were about a dozen
Stats covered with folds of the bag
and only four or five of them were
cut.
When the damage was discovered
messenger was sent TO Dumont and he
hurried to the scene. After examining
the bag he said:
Well, it is just as I told the fair
people. This place is not secure
enough"
What will you do?" he was asked.
Il do not know was the reply. 1T
will be impossible to get a new bag
must be repaired. l can think of no
reason why any one should want to
destroy my airship."
Professor Meyers, who made a care
full examination of the cuts. said:
The cutting seems to have been
done with a dull knife. I can con-
ceive of no reason why any one should
want TO destroy the bag and 1 be-
lieve the work was pure vandalism
with no other object in view but the
malicious destruction of property"
Walter B. Stevenson. secretary of
the Worlds Fair Company, said steps
would be taken to apprehend the van
dal and for the future protection of
the airship.
When the damage was done the
shed that shelters the gas bag was
patrolled by Jefferson guard and d
special watchman, who was one of
Mr.. Dumont's employees. Neither saw
the vandaI and the damage was not
discovered until the workmen were
about 10 take the bag from the box.

There viii be a glut or work for the

All strong-huIled and well found as
they are. none Of these canvas winged
carriers are built for buczing ice. This
year, owing 70 the tardy departure OF
Jack Frost from Alaskan waters, near

SETTLERS RUSH
TO The RANGE
Government Throws Open
Millions of Acres of
Grazing Land in Nebraska
TROOPS ORDERED OUT
Great Cattle BarOns Are At
tempting to Deprive the
HOmeSteaders of Claims

LINCOLN, Neb., June 2S.-GovernOr
Mickey has received several requests
from officers and Sheriffs in Custer
County, Nebraska, for military TO help
keep order at Broken Bow and in the
surrounding country. where thousands
of persons have gathered for the open
ing of homesteads under the new Kin
kaid land law The Governor has or
dered Company VI of Broken Bow to
be held in readiness. The trouble arises
from the fact that the cattle barons
have sent their cowboys to file on Gov
ernment land that is now fenced and
TO interfere with hOmesteaders who are
seeking claims under the provisions Of
the new law. The disputed lands,
which were thrown open TO settlement
to-day, have been used by the ranch
men for grazing purposes. The land
has been fenced by them and their
fences the Government ordered taken
down in a bill passed by the last ses-
sion Of Congress. Many of the home
steaders at Broken Bow are armed and
bloodshed is expected.
OMAHA, Neb.. June 2S.-Nine mil
lions Of acres of Government land in
Nebraska were opened for homestead
entry to-day under the provisions of
the Kinkaid law, which permits home
steaders to file on $40 acres of land.
The land opened by the Kinkaid law
is known as seni-arid and is mostly
adapted to grazing. It is the last
great opening of Government land of
this nature that will ever be made and
was the occasion Of a rush for choice
sections by those desiring to establish
ranches.
The six land offices in Nebraska were
the scenes of great excitement. At
O'Nefn nearly 1000 persons, a great
percentage of whom were women, were
in line at sunrise.
The greatest excitement was at Brok-
en- Bow, where more than 1000, 600 acres
OF the best land included in the pro-
visions of the law was thrown open.
At sunrise more than 1000 persons were
in line and Sheriff Richardson, who
had already taken extraordinary pre-
cautions to forestall trouble. to-day en-
listed an extra force of deputies TO keep
order. Later he requested Governor
Mickey 10 order the militia out to
assist in keeping order.
