Special to the Herald.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 26.-Yes
terday's game between Chattanooga
and Columbia was one of the prettiest
games of the season. Columbia out
batted Chattanooga, but her errors
were costly and were responsible for the
loss of the game. OF Columbia's six
hits, James made three, two of which
were home runs, the ball each time 60
ing over right field fence. These hits
we're the first four baggers of the season
on Chattanooga grounds. Cook made a
two base hit, and singles were made by
Schmidt and Lewis. Attendance, 1000

With the Indians adoption of tho

adoption Of his evils. The proneness
of the white man to purchase beyond
his ability to pay has been speedily
initiated by the red man. II a personal
appeal for credit does not avail. he

He Had a Friend on the Jury.

On one occasion lie told how, when

verdict had been rendered he asked a
juror whom he knew well how it came
about that the verdict was far more
than he asked.

~ number of the jurors were against
you. Mr.. Stewart, while I thought you
ought to have what you asked for.

The result was that when the total

more than Mr.. Stewart asked.

RADIUM HAS TRADE VALUE.
Experiments Bring Discovery That a
Diamond Becomes Graphite
Under It's Rays.

In the course of some experiments
concerning the effect of the emanations
from radium upon diamonds, Sir Will
liam Crookes made a curious discov-
cry. When a diamond was placed in
the path of the radiations it was con-
verified from the carbon crystal into
the common form of graphite, while in
addition its color was quite changed.
AS a result of this strange metamor-
phosis Sir William Crookes suggests
that the radiam rays may prove of
great commercial value to the jeweler
since by this means diamonds which
are of Indifferent and defective color
may be appreciably increased in their
commercial value by treatment under
the radium rays. He also observed
that prolonged action of the radium
also increased the intensity of the pale
colored gems.

Opportunities for Dairyrnen.

Last year England imported $4,000
tons of butter. The United States ex-
ported about 1000 tons. These facts
leave a fair inference that England
offers an open market for more than
so times as much butter as we are in
the habit of exporting. England's pur-
chases of this article from foreign
countries and from her colonies
amount to about $100,000,000 a year.
Our export sales of it approximate
$1,50O,00O. England purchased last
year about 136, 1000 tons of cheese. Our
total exports were in the vicinity of
5000 tons, worth about $2,250,000.
Canada, whom we are prone to regard
as an economic inferior, exported ten
times as much as we did. This leaves
a fair inference that there is in Eng
land alone a possible market for some
$40, 100000 worth of cheese every year.

And, so that the waist is left loose over

The prettiest of the shades this fall

hopsack, cheviot, storm serge or Bur

Paris Fancies n Fall Fashions

Louis XVI. modes are still daily gain
ing favor; whether we shall tire OF
them or really take kindly to the
nipped-in appearance of the short
shoulder, | do not yet know. When 1t
is carried out by the real artists, VINO
can make necessary mod1hcauons
suited to the individual woman, with
out apparent alteration, 1t is, without
doubt, extremely effective, but for the
majority such a complete revolution or
fashion is somewhat dangerous. rms
also applies to the Princess trock,
which will be decided feature OF the
coming modes.
1t is strange that we should use the
queer velvet and silk buttons Whlcn
have been out of date for SO many
years. but We have begun to realize
that nothing looks dowdy in the hands
of the expert. 1t is only when dlfficult
styles are copied by the million that
incongruity arises. 1t is well to re-
member that the Princess robe suits
very few figures; to be success 1t
must be most deftly draped, and cut
with real Cunning" as the Americans
would say.
Gray-a curious smoke gray-has be-
come the craze among Americans, ana
gray astrachan will be popular fur
during the coming winter, second only
to Russian sable and ermine. Then we
shall use a great deal of fur edging
as trimming, and this is in some meas
ure due to the revival of the Princess
robe, and velvet buttons.
A good many fringes have been OBJ
served at Homburg, especially on the
Tussore wraps and coats of kimona
shape. Eastern embroideries will be
noticeable feature of evening dress, and
among the fabrics used we shall still
see shaded mousseline de sole, taffeta
changeant and satins, while many will
be glad to know that the old-fash1oned
peau de sole and MORE antique will be
revived. Vieux rose of the most vivid
shade will be one of the favorite colors
for evening wear. Greens, yelloWs,
blues, from the brightest Rickett shade
to the palest corn-fower tint, and gray
will be almost as popular for night as
for day wear.
Another item of interest is that pet
ticoats are getting more elaborate, but

cambria blouse. The pleated skirt just
cleared the ground, and had a narrow
embroidered trimming down the front.
White alpaca and Tussore have also
been used by the leading tailOrs, and
here again does the pleated skirt just
clear the ground. This skirt is GER
tainly the most general for morning
wear and can look very well in thin
serges or fiannels. With this the short
bolero is admirable, worn, of course,
over a skirt, the best skirts being of
white cambria or lawn, with linen col
lars and cuffs, unstiffened and sOftened
by dainty embroidery.
The colored bolero is already fea-
ture; it is a most useful addition to our
summer frocks. For instance, have
seen a frock of black chiffon voile worn
with bolero of wide black and white
striped velvet, the sleeves turned back
above the elbow with black velvet, with
revers of the same, bordered with green
and gold embroidery.
Bright green and bright orange
panne and taffeta, and Tussores, are
the favorite shades and fabrics for this
new bolero, which is often made with
tiny, pleated frills, admirably suited to
thin women.
Some of the Viennese clothes are
made up with the corselet skirt, heav-
lily braided, and the short bolero also
braided to match.
Capes are worn in much variety, and
the paletot also forms useful wrap
for the moment. The old-fashioned
"cross-over" fastening at the back with
big rosette, is a pretty idea, and in
velvet or silk is admirable for casino
wear. The most elaborate toilettes
show the short shoulder and tight
sleeves with full graceful skirts. The

POINT TO BE CONSIDERED.
Will the Farmers Accept Aid of City
Friends of Good Roads or Treat
Them as MeddlersP

Among those interested in road inn
proyement the farmers, of course,
stand first The character and condi-
ton of the roads are of vital interest
to them every day in the year. The
farmers until recently have been COM
PEELED to struggle with the road prob
lem without much help or encourage
ment from any other class. Now, how
ever, some strong elements of the city
population are rallying to their sup
port. Among these may be named the
manufacturers of road building ma
chinery, the makers and users of BIZ
cycles and automobiles and men of the
cities who have money invested in the
country. These people are entering
into the work for road improvement
with even more enthusiasm and zeal
than the farmers.
Just now the farmers who want bet
ter roads are brought face to face with
a most important question: Will he
accept the assistance of these city
allies? Will he welcome the aid of the
machinery man, the capitalist, the BIZ
cyclist and the automobilist? Or will
he treat them as schemers who are
trying to NEEDLE with his affairs?
The answer to these questions ought
to depend on what these city friends
of good roads are proposing to do. If
they propose to have the country roads
improved in order to increase their
business, and enhance their pleasures,
wholly at the expense of the farmer,
then he should spurn the proffered
alliance If, on the contrary, they are
proposing, through state and national
taxation, to lift a large part of the
burden off the farmer and place it on
the taxpayers of the cities, he ought
to bid them welcome and extend the
glad hand.
This is live question for the farm
er to consider and answer. Already
the opponents of state and nationaal
aid are at work trying TO SOW seeds Of
suspicion in the minds of the farmers,
and they will do their best to prevent
any cooperation between the country
and city friends of good roads.
AS matter of fact, state and ma
tional aid offer the only hope of gem
eral road improvement, and such aid
can never be secured if the city people
array themselves against it. Unless
the farmers are wholly blind to their
own interests they will welcome aid
from any and every source, and will
make every effort to secure the power
full aid of the state and federal gov
ernmentS.

Best Results from Meadows

The Michigan experiment station
found after repeated tests that about
four times as much food can be obtained
hay than by pasturing it. This means
that four COWS can be kept on the land
by growing hay instead of pasturing it;
or, to show it in another light four
times rs much land is required for pas
ture as for hay, for the same number of
cattle Green food is given by grow
ing soiIing crops, but in soiling from
two to three times the number Of COWS
can be maintained than by pasturing.
