Pink Silk Muslin.

Nothing is so cool and pretty for
warm summer days as silk muslin. A
most attractive, though simple model
is in pink. The whole frock is plated.
On the skirt the plaits are stitched to
knee depth, flaring prettily from there
to the foot. Similar treatment is given
to blouse and sleeves, the collarless
round neck, bands on sleeves and
girdle made Of sheerest batiste en-
broidery. The hat worn with this
charming get-up is pink straw braid,
the brim turned decidedly on the left
side and decorated with shaded pink

Insect pests have been gathered by c.
l.. Marlatt, an entomologist in tie de-
partment OF agriculture. He declares
that the destruction to various crops
by these insects amounts to 500, 000,-
600 a year, or more than the entire
annual expenditure of the government.
including the pension roll and the cost
of maintaining the army and navy.
Mr.. Marlatt says that to one familiar
with the work of these insects it is an
easy matter to approximate the prob
able %shrinkage in crop values due to
their activities. He places the tax
which they impose on growing and
maturing crops at $500, 600, 900. and
adds $500, OOO, 900 to cover the losses
suffered by cereals and forage crops
in storage and destruction to natural
forests and forest products.

A MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM:

BILE Foreigners Pouring In.

Washington, May 23.-President
Roosevelthas taken up the immigration
question, and is preparing to call 1t
to the attention Of congress and to
the country.
The president believes that one OF
the most serious problems now con-
fronting the American people is how
to deal with the hordes of undesirable
immigrants Europe is pouring upon
our shores.
During the fiscal year which ends
June 30 all immigration records will
be broken. In those IL months well
on toward a million steerage passen-
gers will have arrived in the United
States, looking for homes or work. The
greatest number arriving in any pre-
vious year was S57, 046, during the IL
months ending June 1, 1909. For 1904
the total was ST., $50, and for 1905 it
will be between 900, 900 and 1000, 900.
These are appalling figures. They
are the more appalling when they are
analysed and their significance fully
understood. They mean that 10 n sin
gle year there pours into the r'untry
a multitude of people. poor o. purse
and many of them poorer yet In quail

greater than the present population of

ton of urging consideration of the
problem upon congress at an early day.
