CLING 70 STRAW HATS.
Male Population 10th to "stow" the
Comfortable Summer Head piece.

ConfofSabIe 0umWoV Tleao piece.
Although the day of the straw hat
has passed, conventionally, the light
head piece still remains very much in
vogue, and no doubt will be Worn we'll
up into October. The average man Is
10th to discard the straw hat for the
heavy fall style, and he hangs onto
the former in the face of fashions
disapproval, until the warm weather is
render the heavier hat comfortable.
And sd it was that in Chicago the
number Of straw hats did not sensibly
diminish on the first of September.
The Tribune Of that city comments
upon the fact as follows:
"Common sense instead Of fashion
ruled In Chicago Thursday In the
matter of discarding straw hats The
tirne-honored custom OF ushering In
September with change from sum-
mer headgear to the "derbies" or felt
hats of fall or winter was unheeded
by most of the male population Of the
city. while the hot weather lasts the
straw hats stay was their ultimatum
ION the board of trade the usual
hat smashing of Sept. l was omitted
and by common consent the regime Of
the "straws" is to be continued until
weather calls for heavier headgear
Most Of the brokers on change and
that the day for the felt hats triumph
should be switched at least to Sept. 15,
as is the rule in Now York.
Mayor Harrison set the new fashion
at the city hall by appearing In a
panama, which he declared he will
wear until October Is If comfort de-
mands It,"

CORRESPONDENTS TO LEAVE.
Davis and Others Dissatisfied With
Their Treatment.

Che Foo, Sept 5-Richard Harding
Davis and John Fox, Jr.. American
newspaper correspondents, have
arrived here from the headquarters Of
the Second Japanese army and will
leave for the United States Septem.
Der 8. They say that the foreign at
taches and newspaper correspondents
with the second army witnessed the
battle of August 20 from distance OF
eight miles, and that this was so un-
satisfactory to them that they united
in a round robin to the Japanese all
thorities protesting that because Of this
restriction on their movements their
usefulness was at an end. General Oku
replied, saying that in the future they
would be permitted to witness en-
gagements from a distance of four
miles, whereupon Davis and Fox, to-
gether with Melton Prior and George
Lynch British correspondents left the
second army. Lynch will make an at.

FOR SCHOOL WEAR
LITTLE FRocks THAT WILL
PROVE FASHIONABLE AS
WELL AS sERvlcEABLE.
Mohair Pleated Skirts Admirably
Adapted for School Wear-soft Sail.
or 6lcuses viii Afford An Attract
I've chanae--WooIens to Be Worn.

The dainty little dresses of dimity,
lawn and fine bingham that have done
service during the summer for the
Second best" wear for the little peo-
pie may be used until quite late in the
season for afternoons, the necessary
warmth being added in the light
weight f1annels that every child should
wear when the weather is cool. The
lingerie frocks so beautifully made by
hand. and showing lace frills and rib
bon-eun beading, are just the thing for
the childrens indoor parties which the
cooler season will bring.
A delicate-colored or a fine lawn
foundation slip may be worn beneath
them with charming effect, though If
the material is white and sheer, the
touch of color given by jink or blue
ribbons is more attractive
Small Checked WooIens.
The small checked woolens in dark
blue and white, brown and white. and
even red and white are not only fash
lonable but practical as well for school
frocks and when trimmed with braid
and buttons, and fashioned in some of
the many plated modes they are most
attractive. Mohair, in the plain, as
well as fancy weaves, is, another ma
terial admirably adapted to these ma
venile modes. The dust shedding and
non-increasing qualities of this goods
are points we'll worth considering
There is an almost invisible plaid
showing faint lines of green and yellow
on a dark blue ground, that is espec-
Siro ,f,
and for which making up on the bias
in tucked or plated design, is rec
commended. Many of these little frocks
are made in suspender style, to be
worn with white guimpe, which is al
ways becoming fashion.
Sailor Blouses.
Full sailor blouses of soft silk in
plain. solid colors-red, blue, brown or
white-or in plaids, will afford an at
tractive change from the white lawn
guimpe to wear with these plated mo-
hair skirts. When the silk blouse,
which must in every case either match
the skirt. or harmonic with it, is
worn, the shoulder straps or suspend
ers are omitted. A dark blue or brown
skirt would be equally attractive worn
with bright red blouse or one in
plaid. showing red, yellow, brown and
blue. This is particularly becom-
ing dress for the over-grown girl of Is
or "A years of age. A practical sug-
gestion is the jaunty coat to match the
skirt. made in REFER style, though the
newest short coat is a smart little af-
fair known as the Samural jacket,
which is suitable alike for the young
girl and her elders. This jacket is
loose-titting. and is especially becom-
ing to slight. girlish figures. A stole
collar facing that has epaulettes is a
feature of the design, which offers
pleasing trimming suggestions.

WOMEN INVENTORS
A NEW FIELD OF LABOR BEING
INVADED BY MEMBERS or
THE FAIR SEX.
Patents Secured by Women Have 10
Do Chiefly With the Comfort Of
Both Men and Wonen--aovernment
Has Record of Woman's Inventions.


Though Ottumwa can boast of no
women inventors yet 1t is fact that
women are beginning to take more in
terest in this field of labor and the
patent records at Washington has
ors of sufficient Importance and inter-
est to have compiled series Of rec
ords referring exclusively to woman's
inventions.
Under the custody Of Mr.. Sullivan of
the patent Office. are books compiled
by the government Of the Inventions Of
women back to 1870. Their line Of
thought and sphere of knowledge can
easily be traced from that year to the
present expensive views Of the new
woman.
The colonial dame confined her i'm
provements and discoveries to her
wardrobe and kitchen. There were all
SO jumpers and soothing syrups for
the baby and dainty perfumes and re-
cipes. She would have shrunk in
alarm from the descendants who have
constructed electrical apparatus, rail-
way appliances and farming imple-
ments.
For SO the women Of the last few
years has DONE. OF course, the addi-
lions of her domestic comforts have
not been abandoned. The lists Of Gull
mary utensils and wearing apparel are
decidedly the longest in the latest book
issued but study of the headlines OF
the many columns show a diversity of
subjects and a not stinted list of in
ventors under such.
A group of clerks in the patent
office discussed the woman inventor at
the luncheon hour few days ago.
A Prolific Inventor.
"a woman is generally a prolific in
ventor," remarked jolly, brown eyed
little man. Now, / know woman
from Pennsylvania, whose first inven-
ton was an arrangement In which the
store clerks could carry their scissors
and pencils. From that she proceeded
to invent flower stands and improve
ments on pots and kettles and medi-
cines and a legion of other things"
rs Is difficult to deal with that spe-
cies of woman?" asked an outsider.
"No-that is, not generally he add
ed, as he looked up and caught the eye
of an elderly woman whose desk was
stationed near his.
But there was one woman" he con-
fessed, zone lone, unprotected wom-
an, who had this whole room"-his
hand swept the long, hall-like apart
Then she was asked not to come here
any more. You see, she didn't un-
derstand her own patent and told me
she thought was a fool because ]
couldn't explain it to her. But she
was an exception to rather than an
example of the general ruin of them
Just look in those books and see for
yourself the works Of the woman in
/ ventor.'
| The indexer Of the patent Office was
asked IL there were many invention.
1 by women registered in the last wear
She ran her eye and forefinger down
several pages of lists. and paused un-
der the name Of the first woman.
Here is one," she said. and after
following many more columns found
another.

IOWA GETS ANOTHER PRIZE.
Painting Bertha" Liebecke Will g,
to Asylum at clarinda.

Sioux City, Sept. 5. - After an
unusual experience, in Omaha
during which she failed ut
terly to respond to the efforts of Rev:
Charles Savidge to convert her, Faint
ing Bertha" Leibecke well known to
the Sioux City Police is to be shipped
back to Iowa to become charge at
the insane hospital at Clarinda.
The commissioners of insanity of
Pottawattamie county have adjudged
the woman insane and decided that
Council Bluffs is her legal residence.
She was born and reared there.
When the board adjudged her In
sane Bertha adopted her usual tactics
Of weeping.
While Freeman Reed, clerk of the
district court, and secretary of the
insanity board, was making out her
commitment. Bertha sided up to him
and before Mr.. Reed was aware of it
she had succeeded in purloining his
watch and chain. She laughingly,
however. returned the ti1nepiece to the
astonished official, saying she only
took it in fun. When the commitment
was prepared and Sheriff Canning was
waiting to escort the young woman to
st. Bernard's, Bertha made a dash for
one of the outer offices, exclaiming she
would jump through the window. No
effort was made to restrain her but
Berthe on reaching the window chang
ed her mind.
Painting Bertha" was once before
an inmate of the Clarinda hospital, but
was discharged on belief that she was
cured.

AUTO BUSINESS IN IOWA.
Secretary Has Issued 75s Licenses Vi
to Date,

Des Moines, Sept 5.-There are
759 automobile licenses out from
the office of the secretary of
state. Five Of these however, were
issued to non-residents who were ex-
hibiting automobiles on the state fair
grounds last week. Another ten were
re-registered.
Under the law dealer in autos
must have a registered number for
each one. ard this is true whether he
be non resident or not. 1t is also one
Of the wise provisions OF the law
that every man who purchases ma
chine already registered must put up
another dollar and get brand new
number.
Actually. therefore, but 769 automo-
biles are doing business in Iowa, for
it is believed that practically every
one is registered. 1t is supposed that
they represent an investment Of not
less than $1,000 each. Nearly million
of dollars may be said to be tied UP
In horseless carriages in this state.
