There Is nothing suspicious in the
fact that the title Of general" is so
often brought before the public eye in
one way or another these days. There
were over 1000 generals commissioned
in the Federal army alone during the
civil war. The Confederacy was not
stingy about general commissions Ell
ther. Then there are the regular army,
the Spanish war volunteers, the pro-
visional army Of the Philippines and
the militia of all the states. Every two
or three years each Of the forty five
new state administrations appoints two
or more staff officers with the rank Of
general. The title sticks upon whom it
once lights, the same as colonel and
Judge in the south, but with better
reason, for as a rule it is legitimate.

MEMS FASHIONS.

HeaAgear Of the New Year-Soft Hats
Have TAKEN the Season By storm.
II there can be said to be any differ
snce 10 the shapes of derby hats that
difference lies In the crown. which this
season Is much higher. 1t is predicted
on good authority that representative
spring shapes will show a decided
preference for extreme crowns.
Attention still centers on the efforts
to create a style for brown derbies,
though the public shows little or no
disposition to accept them so far. Man.
ufacturers' new samples show va
riety of shades in brown. but the best
known shops are not predicting a sue
cessftl season for them.
A new departure in the derby hat
which seems to have caught the pubic
fancy is the extensive use Of fine ma
terials. The texture. material and
trimming and the silky appearance Of
the felt proclaim at once that quality
is there and so clearly evident that
even the Impractical eye appreciates
the difference. While the price-$6-
may stand in the way of an immediate
purchase, the man who once wears a
finer derby is loath to return to the reg
ulation quality.
The rich appearance of the more ex-
pensive hat and the durability and
preservation of it's color and shape
Offset the slight increase in cost. Too
many men hesitate to change the shape
Of their derby once they have found
a becoming block, and it is really a
difficult thing to convince the man of
palmer ideas concerning dress that he
should adopt one Of the new high
crown shapes. For the man who does
not fancy a high crown there is a
rather fiat crowned derby with some

How to Rest the Body.

Don't be afraid to open the mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed, if you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
ing, there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to sit on a straight back
chair and, lifting the feet from the
floor, push them out in front of you as
far as possible, stretch the arms, push
the head back, open the mouth wide
and make yourself yawn, says Wom-
ans Life. Those tense nerves will re-
lax, the contracted muscles will stretch,
and the whole body will be rested Do
this two or three times when you are
tired and see what it will do for you

VALUES RAPIDLY ADVANCED
EAST ALDER STREET PROPERTY

GEORGE Barber Says He Could Have
Made Thousands if He Had

IF had known four years ago what

off by several thousand dollars" re-
marked George Barber, the contractor,
"a few days ago while discussing with
friends the rapid advance in values OF
property in East Alder street. "Of
course any one could say the same
thing but was offered property at a
figure four years ago that by selling it
today it would net me a good many
thousand dollars. OF course the oppor-
.tunity has passed now for making big
money out of business property in so
short a period, although consider that
values will continue to advance as the
business district expands.

years ago 1 was the victim Of consid-

would represent about one third of it's

about" and the alpine.
what pointed brim, which is more be-
coming to certain types than the high
crown.
Soft hats have taken the season by
storm. More styles in these are shown
than for many years back. An unprec-
edented departure the soft hat has
taken Is its universal use for evening
wear. The hat so used comes in black
only, is well made and lined with sat
in. The name that distinguishes it
from the alpine is Tuxedo" and it
may accompany all styles OF c'ening
clothes and go to almost any function
with dignity.
The most popular soft hat Of the sea-
son is made of belly nutria. The mate
rial is taken from the under portion of
the little animal, which inhabits the
Brazilian boundary along the Platte
river. A strip Of the belly is taken
from the pelt and put through certain
processes which render it as soft and
fine as the costliest silk. The pelt
turns water and does not spot with
rain or snow. The nutria is similar to
our beaver, but is smaller in size, and
making on the market with the excep-
ton Of beaver.
The soft hats made from it come in
several shades. but soft fawn color
seems to be the most popular. There
are several shapes also. The college
boy wears his hat with ring crushed
in the crown. This style is called MAS
ter William" Then there are the "tele-
scope" the ''knockabout' and another
style which to a considerable degree
resembles the alpine.
Silk hats are always interesting, just
as are ladies' evening hats, and the
shapes change from one season to the
next. Very young men wear crowns a
trif1e less curved or belled than the cut
represents, if there is any perceptible
difference in the shape. On the other
hand, styles in such hats for older men
have the bell crown much more en-
phasized and are bit larger and
heavier looking. The middle aged man
wears grosgrain silk band on his silk
hat while for the younger man is sub
stituted a narrow band of cloth.
Owing to the increased popularity of
the soft black hat already described
for evening wear there has been de-
cided decline in the use of the opera
hat since early fall.-Designer.
