NeedleWOrk Notes

TN KNITTING it will be found much
easier when casting on stitches If
using very large needles, to in
place Of the large one held in the
right hand.
Use the steel needle for knitting the
stitch and pass it over the large
needle. This is to be done only when
casting on stitches.
HandkerchiefS are marked in old
English letters of a very small size.
These tiny letters are often placed
in the center of circle done In the
finest of over-and-over embroidery.
For sheer handkerchiefs use a very
fine mercerized cotton.
By reversing a shirtwaist pattern
and lenSthening it at the narrow part
it may easily serve as Il pattern for
a skirt panel.
Feather stitching is always a dainty
finish for a child's dress. but it should
be very evenly done and as small as
possible. No. 3 mercerized cotton 10
ocst for the work.
Marking cotton in that soft, cool
shade known as china, is used a great
deal in buttonholing ard scallopins
the edges of turnover collars.
Handsewing is in great demand, and
the individuality of handmade things
is appreciated this season as it has
not been in many years.

Little laundry bags, for holding num-

are hailed with delight.
An effective little bag is made by lay

regular scallops.
The upper handkerchief is sewed to
the lower one inside of its border, the
lower corner turned back and stitched

This shows the pretty corners of the
upper handkerchief and gives room for
two small ribbon bows.

charming sleeve. Cut each handker-
chief in half and gather the halves to a
sheer fitted foundation, letting the
corners of the handkerchief meet in
the front and back.
Corset covers and chemisettes made of
handkerchief are familiar to most
women, and there are many ways of
making them. A very pretty corset
cover may be made of two handker-
chiefs, with hem border embroidered
on the inner side.
Cut one handkerchief from corner to
corner for the two side pieces. The
bias edge forms the top and the points
of the handkerchief come upon the belt

either an article of clothing or a useful
article for the household.
Lamp shades of handkerchief are
quite charming. y hole is cut in the
middle of a softly tinted and handsome
~ decorated Oriental handkerchief Of
medium size, and the bias edge of the
hole is hemmed around and decorated
with bead or gimp border. Tassels are
added to the corners or a bead fringe
may be sewed on the entire edge, and
then the handkerchief is ready TO throw
over any style of plain lampshade or
globe of china or glass and make 1t Il
thing of beauty.
Large handkerchief, printed in arts-
tic floral designs and costing only or
10 cents apiece, can be made into kimono
sacks. buster bags, combing sacks,
slipper cases, workbags and laundry
bags.
One Of the prettiest of these bags is
made by laying one handkerchief fiat
upon another, with the corners of the
top handkerchief forming deep points
beyond the center of the sides of the
upper square. The middle of the upper
handkerchief is then cut in two crossing
lines, leaving four points in the middle.
Each point is turned back on the cloth,

AFTERMATH OF

Friends of Principals Work

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. %
(SpeciaD -There appears to be no
danger of further personal difficulty
between Representatives John Sharp
Williams, of Mississippi, and Repre-
sentative David A. De Almond, Of
Missouri, though efforts on the part of
mutual friends to bring about rec
onciliation have not thus far been
successful. Neither Congressman
shows any marks of the encounter
and they show no bitterness of feel
ing in speaking of each other
Friends have been making an eff
fort tonight to re-establish friendly
relations. Neither is willing, how
ever, to take the initiative in the
way of an apology, though both ex-
press regret that the dispute and
combat occurred. While versions of
the dispute led to the exchange of
blows differ, neither man charges the
other with intention to misrepresent
the facts, but each speaks of the
other in respectful terms, without
show of feeling.
Both men appear to be anxious to
let the matter drop, but neither is
willing to admit himself in the
wrong and approach the other for a
reconciliation.
The House will hardly take any
official notice of the disorder, since
it occurred after adjournment and is
not likely to be renewed

challenge to a duel floated about the
corridors of the Capitol today, but

NOTES AS ASSETS

In the findings of the Atlanta Clear
ing House Association in the case of
the Neal State Bank, which was or
dered closed yesterday, occurs the
following significant words q. and
an inventory of bad notes, conceded
to be collectible, but still carried
for years as assets"
This was one of the reasons why
the other Atlanta banks would not
come to the aid of the distressed bank.
Who is responsible for allowing
the bank to carry these bad notes
as assets? What were the state bank
examiners doing all these years?
What are the examiners for except
to hold the banks to a rigid accoun-
ing for the character of it's securi-
ties?
The disclosures in regard to the
suspended bank are Of vital interest
to all citizens of Georgia. Unless
a bank statement is a true one, the
depositors are deceived Only those
securities should be counted as assets
which are collectible. Had the knife
been applied to the assets of the Neal
bank when these dead securities were
first offered to the examiners and
thrown out the bank might have
been saved.
Not only were Atlanta people
caught, but many other cities and
towns will suffer Americas business
men have been caught, among others.
Every effort will no doubt be put
forth to save the depositors as far as
possible, but at best it means a long
delay in the courts while the affairs
of the institution are being Hquidated.

AMERICUS MEN LOST IN
ATLANTA BANK CLOSE
Two Touched for Several
Thousand.

There is an "Americus end" to the
recent Atlanta bank suspension where
in the Neal Bank closed it's doors.
Two Americas citizens carried large
deposits in the crippled bank, one
having between $4,000 and $4,000 on
deposit there, while another is said
to have $4,000 tied up thusly The
banks suspension caused considerable
surprise as it is regarded one of the
strongest in the state. The trouble
it is said, is due largely to loans upon
real estate which, while doubtless
good, could not be realized upon inn
mediately. 1t is hoped that depositors
will, eventually, be paid in full. One
of the Americas men having money
there had just purchased a farm here
as an investment, and was going to
use his bank deposit next Thursday
wherewith to pay for it, the irony of
fate.

LUCKY 3"
LOST HIS CHARM

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec. %
(SpeciaD-George Miller, a constable,
known to summer visitors as Lucky
49," during a term of the police force,
was found dead of heart disease in
his home on Arctic avenue.
When Miller went on the police
force on May 10, 1905, he asked for
number 10 badge, which other police
men had refused to wear.
Instead of a "hoodoo" the badge
was a mascot Twice he obtained re-
wards for stopping runaway teams,
an admirer gave him diamond pin
and a retiring cigar store owner pre-
scented his stocked shop to him.
Miller left the force on November
10 and his luck broke when he gave
up his badge. The store did not
pay, and as he was unable to get
back on the force he took a job as
night Waterman and later as con-
stable.

DEFENDANTS THIRST
VERY REMARKABLE
Drank Enough to Stock a
Bar.

RIVERHEAD, L. L., Dec. 23.-(Spe-
cial)-The defense of John Barrett, a
former lawyer, placed on trial before
Judge Griffing in the Country Court
late yesterday on charge of selling
liquor in the desert" of Southhamp-
ton town, was that he drank up all
the liquor himself, therefore there
was none left to sell to anyone else,
hence he had not broken the law.
Barrett's defense was the most nov
ell ever, heard of in this county. The
enormous quantities of liquor that
Barrett swore he consumed caused
sensation in court. Barrett did not
say in so many words that this was
his defense, but from the fact that
he made the statements that he did it
is presumed that he believed such
defense would aid his case. But if
didn't for he was promptly convicted
and Immediately locked up in jail.
In substance, District Attorney Fur
man. asked him if he had not within
the past year had 200 kegs of beer,
two barrels of whiskey, two barrels
of rum, a case of champagne,
demijohn of gin, and several other
cases of wet goods come to his place.
Yes, l have" replied Barrett.
What did you do with it?"
Used it for my own consumption"
"All of it?"
