Some Impressions of Seeing
AT Describing ArtIstic Junk.

Starmont Auxiliary, OF the StarmOnt
Sanatorium, gave an anniversary tea yes
terday at the residence OF Mrs Appleton
P. Clark. jr. l762 Lanier place. Il was a
benefit affair in aid Of consumptives. A
circular sent OUT TO members and friends
announced the fact that attractive aprons
would be on saie-and they were.
They were evidently fine aprons. as the
ladies. young and old, went into ecstasies
over them. They were examined, talked
over. gushed over. and tried on with many
side glances in a handy mirror There
were fluffy aprons. plain aprons. big
aprons, lace aprons, even gingham aprons,
and some that did not look like aprons at
ALI They were from . cents up 1t is
not known where they stopped.
Mrs Clark was appealed to for de-
scription of the exquisite junk that so ar
tisucaHy Uttered her home. hut SHE'D
1t the job. There we're all c0lors. as well
as all shapes and ali names in aprons.
Some Of the names caught from the guide
on this seeing aprons" expedition
sounded like ladies' aprons. servants
aprons. dolls aprons. children's aprons.
sewing aprons. stringless aprons, irish,
German, French. Dutch. Greek. and other
aprons. Those that sold for . cents were
in the library. and those that were and
up" were in the parIor Babies bibs were
also on sale. for only 10 cents UP, but il
took a connoisSeur to tell whether some
of the mysterious creations were hibs OF
aprons or both.
Many of the little folks were brought
along, and they soon became stuck fast
to the homemade candy stand in the hall
way, where there was also a large, invit-
ing bowl of punch, which, however. was
lO0-tO-I shot and an also ran in the
large field of intoxicating aprons and
bibs
The tea was a success from every stand
point and many sales of aprons at "and
up" were made The house was throngcd
during the day and evening, when musi-
Gale supplanted the Tea.
The Starmont Auxiliary was organized
for the purpose OF aiding tuberculosis pa
tents who were without sufficient means
in sending them to the Starmont Sana-
torium for treatment. Seven persons have
been assisted through its efforts. Some OF
these We're totally dependent. while others
contributed a share toward their treat
ment One of these seven earned half the
amount necessary 10 keep her at the san
atorium by doing needlework.
The auxiliary has as its members many
prominent local women, including the
wives of Cabinet officers. It has met with
success, and is steadily growing. The
aprons sold yesterday were all made by
the members. who for the past two
months have been holding delightful sew
ing circles for the purpose. The collection

AUTOS IN OUT OF WAY PLACES
Motors Garry Freight and Passen-
gers on Mountains and Deserts.
Chief Austin, of Bureau of Statistics,
Tells of Remarkable Spread of
the Automobile.

In an address on Queer transporta-
ton methods" before the National Geo
graphic Society. last evening. o. p. Aus
tin. chief of the Bureau OF Statistics of
the Department Of Commerce and Labor,
said that the possibility and practicable
ity of applying the -propelling vehicle
10 the transportation of merchandise and
people in deserts, in the tropics, and the
Orient, has air lady suggested itself ana
the experime ats made have already as
sured success.
In the deserts Of New Mexico and Ari-
zona motors are successfully carrying
freight ia a temperature OF from 10 10
40 in the sun. where owing TO the extreme
heat horses Or mules can only be used
at night, he said. In Nevada motor
trucks are now performing the work Of
thirty horses each. carrying freight over
100 miles Of mountain roads. in Cali
fOrnia motor cars are carrying oyer dirt
roads in the mountain regions as much
ore at each trip as would require 100
pack horses for its transportation.
In South America the horseless vehicle
Is carrying passengers and freights 10 the
inland cities over roads where only the
donkey was utilized. and doing So at an
enormous saving Of time and expense. Ia
Egypt the freight and passenger motor
is beginning to take the place Of the
camel, some OF them over long stretches
of desert, and roads for their use are be-
ing constructed through the desert on
which the product OF the emerald mines

motor cars are being imported al the rate
Of nearly s2,00o,000 worth per annum, and

In the Congo the Belgian government
is constructing hundreds of miles of road
for the use Of the motor which is 10 be
applied 10 the transportation Of freights
in that section. In Java an American
horseless vehicle Is now being used FOR
the transportation of malls ovet the coun-
try roads Of that island In Japan the
experiments with the horseless vehicles
have been so successful that a company
has been recently organized in that coun-
try with a capital of l0e0.009 yen. for
the purpose OF building and operating
vehicles for a general transportation
service i'm Toyko and thence to surround

Attorney General Bonaparte's plan to
J have liquors labeled so as to show the
/ consumer just what he is getting for
his money is eminently fitting and proper.
and should not be discouraged by the
wholesale liquor trade. The public has a
right TO know what il is buying, and
honest distllers and dealers need not fear
damage to their business from the pro-
posed legislation"
I This is the opinion OF one OF Washing
/ toms leading wholesale liquor dealers in
regard to Attorney General Bonaparte's S
/ suggestions about labelling whiskies. to
show whether the bottle contains straight.
blended compounded. or imitation whisky.
The views of the dealer quoted meet those
Of many Of the principal dealers in the
city. and are adverse 10 the views ex-
pressed by Baltimore dealers and the
and other cities.
The trouble is that the public doesn't
know pure whisky from imitation. and
that, consequently. distiller can make
tine-flavOred whisky out of ethyl
alcohol whisky essence. burnt sugar. and
maybe a little sirup and sweet wine, and
get as much for it on the market as is
brought by the real. eight-year-oId. bot
tled-in-bond goods. The public buys for
the taste. and s99 out of every 1000 whisky
drinkers like the flavor of compounded
whiskies or limitations better than that Of
the genuine thing.
Since last January we have been label
ing all our goods in accordance with the
fsG.a con a.-Hsa krsrvs Al.
the pure-food act. When we put out a
blended whisky We eaH it a blend. ana
when We sell a compound it says so on
the label We have lost nothing by il,
and don't expect TO.
There are a lot Of popular brands of
whisky on the market that are claimed
TO be straight whskies OF blended wins
kles. when If the truth were known, it
would be seen that they are all com
pound. Not that there is any harm in
compound. The ingredients are all pure,
and the idea is merely to give a pleasant
and individual flavor to the article that
VIII make good with the public But
there IS no reason why the public
shouldn't know this. The compound
whisky. if honestly made. is merely pure
rye or corn whisky with a little Malaga
wine or sirup, little pure spirits. and,
perhaps, some burnt sugar to give it the
color that goes with aged whisky.
A blended whisky is supposed to be a
blend OF two or more straight WHISTLES
But it usually isn't, Some Of the prnci-
pal sO-caled blends on the market are
what would come under the division OF
compounds, according to Mr.. Bona
parties plan. / can't see why they
shouldn't be labeled properly
And the same applies 10 all the
fancy liqueurs and c0Tdials. There are not
two barrels OF real blackberry brandy
on the market in this country, as far as
have been able 10 learn Real black
berry brandy is a pale, amber color. but
If you served that 10 a customer at the
bar he wouldn't drink il. He wants the
siTupy, sweet, port-wine colored drink
that he thinks is the real thing. but
which in reality doesn't contain an in
gredient that originated on the black
berry bush"
