Clothes.

Clothes.
In response to petition from tHo
sailors, the secretary OF the navy has
appointed a committee to recommend
changes in the uniform of the men.
The sailors say that the pancake cap
which they are compelled to wear can
not be kept on the head In a high
wind. and affords no protection to the
yes in glazing sun. The blouse:
with wide collar tied by long neck
srchiei, is also charged with trouble
breeding possibilities in the wind. The
collar blows up about the head ane
face, and the neckerchief gets tangled
IN the hands, and is a general nuis-
ance. No protest has been made
against the fiaring trousers, as the
fare makes it easy to roll up the legs
when the sailors scrub TIE decks. The
men ask for a vizort6 cap and coat.
Whether their demands are granted
new or not, some change in the SAIL
or's uniform is inevitable, declares the
Youths Companion. A garment that
hterferes with mans work has out
lived its usefulness. There was a time
when men wore silken hose, lace-ruf-
fed shirts and flowing lace cuffs with
silk or satin coats. One has only TO

Clothes also show the progress of

A MOTHER matter which is to be
IA urged upon the attention of con-
gress is the liquor question. Every
year now for several years the Little
field-Dolliver bill for the regulation of
the traffic has made it's appearance,
but the National Association of Brew
ers, the National Liquor Dealers asso-
citation and various other organiza-
lions have always been on the look
out for it, and have always succeeded
in blocking its passage.
This year 1t begins to look as though
the liquor traffic which has been get
ting SO many hard knocks from the
states lately is to get a national shak-
ing UP as well.
At the coming session the Anti-Sa-
loon League of the United States,
which has become a powerful organi-
cation, will make strenuous effort
to get legislation through. The league
believes the time is ripe for the long
delayed federal legislation. With the
fight against the liquor power raging
successfully in more than half the
states in the union, the league officers
feel encouraged to believe that con-
gress will no longer refuse to enact
the desired legislation.
The states are doing handsomely,
say men who are preparing to lead
the temperance fight before congress
at the coming session, but what has
the federal government been doing?

A MOVE FOR PUBLIC
BATHS AND LAUNDRIES
VIZ ASHINGTON. - Preparatory

w submitting their annual reports
and estimates to congress at the COM
ing session, the commissioners are
considering the advisability of pro-
viding public baths in the District.
They strongly favor the establishment
Of public baths, and last year recon-
mended that an appropriation be made
sufficient to build two, but congress
turned it down. This year, it is stated,
the commissioners will ask for an ap-
preparation with which to establish
public baths for the accommodation of
pupils of the public schools, and the
establishment of public laundries in
connection with the public baths.
All of the commissioners are anx-
ious to provide some kind of bathing
or swimming scheme for the school
children. 1t is their aim to make the
scheme of such nature as to have
swimming lessons as part of the
course Of studies at the schools. They

In connection with the ehort Of the
commissioners to secure these public
baths it is also likely they will en-
deavor to establish one or two public
laundries in the District. This idea
is something new and novel in this
part of the country, although such
places are common throughout Eu-
rope.
1t is the belief that public laundry
should be nosflnected with every public

Here are 10000 acres under orange
trees. From Riverside we went to
Redlands, a city justly famous for
its orange groves, palatial homes,
beauteous flowers and magnificent
views. Then we visited San Bernar-
dino, another delightful city, abound
ing in superb views. oranges, palms,
pepper trees, eucalypti and hundred
varieties of flowers. Thence we were
borne along the Santa Ana river and
its canon, through the hills to Orange;
then for miles we sped by orchards
of olives and English walnuts which
follow the track for many miles, in
terspersed with the glossy green fol-
iage and golden fruit of the orange
and city and country intermingled.
We saw how this luscious fruit is
grown in the very shadow of the
grow in the very shadow of the
snow-capped mountains, and our fair
est dreams were realized in material
form. The semi-tropic splendor of
this realm affords a view which once
seen will live in memory forever.
But words and time fail us and all
the adjectives in our vocabulary were
exhausted long since. We realize the
utter futility Of being able to express
even a small part of all that we
would say.
We have returned to Los Angeles,
where we delight to linger, but shall
leave this evening for the Yosemite
Valley, where we shall remain a few
days, and then continue our journey
to the Golden Gate and San Francisco.
Yours cordially,

Tobacco and OIL in Mclean.

of tobacco this season, and the Ram

now 90 years old, struck for them. He
grasped them and threw them on his

He attempted to reach the canoe, but
because OF the high seas running was
not able to do so. He then struck out
for shore, and, after struggling until
midnight Thursday, reached Point
Gray. west of Vancouver.

selves to the overturned canoe and
were rescued this afternoon. James

COPpERHEAD SNAKE
IN A KEG OF BEER
Killed Four Men Who Drank
of It-Party Was on a
Camping Trip.

Ashland, KY, July 31.-From the
effects OF drinking beer from a keg
into which a copperhead snake had
crawled and died, four men are dead
and two are dying at a woodland
camp In the mountains, fifteen miles
back of Welch, Mcdowell county, w.
Va.
Sam Briggs, Walter Johnson, Ralph
Dunbar, Sam Willis, Carey Turner,
Red" Topham, Will Simpson andJoe
Strang formed a party that pitched
camp at the edge of a mountain
stream for a two weeks outing.
They had taken a small keg of beer
with their effects, hauling them over
an old timber tramroad. The key
had been opened and left half sub
merged in the cold water with the
bunghole unstopped. 1t is presum-
ed that some time during the after
noon the copperhead crawled into the
keg and died. All but Strang drank
the beer in the evening, and in less
than fifteen minutes were suffering
untold agony. Strang made a wild
night ride on the tramcar down the
mountain to the nearest village, where
medical help was secured, but by the
time the camp was reached Biggs,
Topham, Turner and Simpson were
dead from the effects of the terri
BILE poison, and while Johnson and
Willis were just alive, they are prob
ably dead by this time
