by the agent general for New South

nine months Of last year over 2O9,-
100000 pounds Of wool were imported
into the States, equivalent to $751;
100000 from external sources for an
nual consumption. He also points out
that in America raw wool and manu-
featured woolens nearly So per cent Of
the consumption is imported. He be-
lieves that If good collection of the
very best woods in both quality and
luster, were prepared, he would ar
range to have them displayed in sew

Los Angeles, CAL. April 25.-A camp
Of tents is being rapidly erected at
Agricultural park by the relief com
mittee for the accommod ation of San
Francisco refugees who are arriving
by the hundreds and which number
is expected to reach in the neigh or-
hood OF 10000 within ten days. Prob
ably 5000 have already arrived here.
Not all of them, nor. in fact any large
proportion of them are without means.
On one Union Pacific train there was
a total Of 800 passengers, and it was
stated that there was scarcely a fare
paid on the train. Many of them
were coming to homes Of relatives and
friends in this city, but were temper
|arily without funds and compelled to
accept free transpo rtation.
Plans are being perfected for the
housing clothing and feeding Of those
who arrive here, and large sums OF
money and train loads of provisions
are still being sent at intervals for
the relief of the sufferers in San

Mrs. Osborn. who conducts the fash
ion department Of the American-JOur-
nal-EXaminer, makes some pertinent re-
marks on the senselessness with which
women take up every new fad in dress.
There should be limit to the fol-
lowing Of fashion," she says. NO wom-
an should be foolish enough to wear a
garment which makes her look absurd
When one sees Il woman with an arm
like a blacksmith. or with a fat red
arm. or with one like thin stick, in
elbow sleeves. one realizes to what
lengths foolish women will go in follow
Ing of fashion. One also realizes that
feminine vanity entirely blinds such
women to the fact that their arms are
not presentable.
IF II woman has not decently pre-
sentahe arm she should wear long
sleeves. 1t is also silly looking for II

One might sum up the needs of ba-
bies in three words-fresh air. regular
ity. quiet. Babies are but little ami
mails, it is true; but after all they are
little animals with great deal to do
for themselves. and they should receive
all the assistance possible from those
in charge of them. to enable them to
perform this work properly.
In the first year of life great changes
are going on In the body. and the baby
needs all the help possible to meet the
demands made upon its tiny system in
the way Of tissue formation A baby
cannot speak up and tell us that its
meals do not seem to set WE'LL or that a
dissipated evening gives it disturbed
night, so there is nothing for parents
to do but to watch carefully for all the
small but unmistakable signs that
things are not going well.
Fresh air comes first In the list of
requirements, because It Is probable
that very few babies indeed get all of it
that they are entitled to. 1t has been
noted by wise physician that babies
with pneumonia do best If they are kept
in the open air as far as possible, and
