OF THE HAIR
DRESSING amy LADY's" TREssEs
AN ACKNOWLEDGED ART.
Careful Manieuring and Brushing Are
Vital to Proper Appearance
Check May Be Put on
Signs of Age.

Dressing the hair to-day is more OF
an art than 1t has been for some sea-
sons past, the arrangement of waves,
puffs, and curls reminding n some
what of G~ainsboro PICTURES. Speak
ing of curls, was there ever such a
riot of them seen before? The droop-
ing mushroom and faring Cloche hat
require curls in abundance to fill in
their generous curves, in greater
abundance, in fact, than nature Is
willing to supply, and art must OF
necessity come to the rescue. Wen,
luckily, one can buy curls OF adj
shades, singly or in clusters and
wreaths, little tight cnes and big fat
ones, and no head need go unadorned.

locks,

said Shakespeare, and like most OF
his comments ON human nature and
customs 1t is just as true to-day as
when he uttered 1t.
Waved hair still remains the mode,
and there are a number of pretty
ways in which a becoming undulation
may be arranged. The Marcel at
present Is possible, only in the hands
Of the expert, but a number OF simple
devices are sold on which the hair
may be done at night for a pretty
wave next day.
While waves are modish, 1t is
smooth, shining ones that are smart

well groomed woman as much as care
full %manicuring, and the gloss is only
obtainable with care and patience
Shampooing with the best of sham
poo soaps or liquid preparations is the
first step toward obtaining this fash
ionable gloss, a little oil being rubbed
into the scalp after the shampoo If the
hair seems too dry. If you will use a
little oil on the scalp as directed you
will never be obliged to complain that

oils, brilliantines, ETC., impart a soft

harmless If not distinctly beneficial
Many of the best hair tonics ant

Unless ones hair is very short ant
thin and easily managed it is a mis-
take to attempt to shampoo 1t a
home, as SO much better results are
obtained at beauty parlors or baths

Watching the Knife Play.

There is an awful fascination
about seeing people eat with their
knives" said he who has just spent
a week on the farm for this health,
with a retrospective look in his eyes.
"A knife is such an unexpected in
strument. You never know just where
it is going to strike. You can't keep
your eyes off. You are afraid to look
for fear it might slip and cut the
mouth half in two, and you are afraid
If you don't look 1t might happen and
you won't get to see it."

HEAD CUSHION FOR CHAIR.
Intended Primarily for Wicker Porch
Furniture.

Comfortable and delightful in many
ways as wicker armchairs u%ndoubted-
Iy are, they have n serious draw
back. AS headrests they leave much
to be desired, since the hard wicker
border Is anything but restful when
one is anxious, perhaps, to enjoy the
luxury of an after-dinner nap.
A soft cushion tied securely to the
back of the chair, SO that it fits COM
fortably between the wicker border
and the head, makes all the difference
in the world; and we give a sketch Of
one Of these cushions, showing very
clearly how it should be made, which
should prove of interest to our read
ers.
In shape, the cushion somewhat re-
sembles an inverted tea-cosy, 1t is

 up of a class to which none of the defen dants has ever belonged and who have no natural kinship to labor organizations. In addition to this they are drawn from small county, almost wholly agricul- tural, and each member for year and a half has real little about the case ex- cept what has been contained in the Boise daily papers. This has been uni all of them admitted that they had formed opinions and impressions from what they read and necessarily these must have been against the defendant"
 Commenting on the jury, James II Hawley leading counsel for the state, said:
 We are thoroughly satisfied with the jury. We have twelve fair-minded menn who will do even justice between the state and the defendant. They are all good citizens of Ada county and the state of Idaho. They are men. l believe, without the slightest prejudice and we are willing to await their verdict ir con fidence after the evidence is all n.''
 Late tonight w. D. Haywood was again taken sick. He asked the sheriff to send for a doctor and the physician was at once summoned. Haywood told him that he feared a return of the attack of Satur- day morning and asked the doctor to change his medicine. Dr. Lewis prepared a prescription which Haywood took, and afterwards said that he felt better. After leaving the prisoner Dr. Lewis stated that Haywood was not at all seriously ill., but that his nervous system was in q bad condition. While there was no im- mediate danger of a return of the acute attack of Saturday the prisoner would have to be extremely careful.

Lodoe Members up in Court.


 The case ot Ernest Saunders and Ike Clements, charged with obstructing the street, came up today i'll the Mayors court, and the memory of the trial will finger with Saunders at least for a good many days to come.
 Several Sundays ago a negro lodge of Odd Fellows were conducting the funeral of a brother, and of course they were diked out in all the panoply that the law allows. The march to the grave was being made in fairly good time up to the time that the column reached Second ave- nue and Nineteenth street. A gentleman walked out of Edmondston's drug store and started across the street. He had no sooner hit the curbstone before two husky sword bearers bore down on him and with voices that resembled the ru- mors of the present strike, commanded him to stand pat. In reality the swords were iron or steel, and 1t was strictly up to him to smoke easy.
 They kept him waiting on the corner for about twenty minutes and after the pd- rade passed along he was unable to tell whether he was mad or shocked. He made a report of 1t to police headquar- ters, and the arrest of the two men fol- lowed. It appears that at the time the man started to cross the street the two black swordsmen looked back at the es- teemed omnipresent noble grand for in- structions, and upon receiving his eXeeu- tion of the pigeon wing they proceeded 10 come close.
 costs on Saunders, and the exchequer will now have a chance to reduce the surplus that Is always kept on hand for the purpose of sending the delegates to the grand lodge meetings. Clements trial will come up in the near future.

Oklahoma Constitution Election.

Tulsa, I. T.. June 5.-William H.. Murray, president of the convention which drafted the constitution for the proposed state of Oklahoma tonight announced to the Associated Press that the election of the ratification of the constitution will be held on Au- gust despite the decision of Judge Pancoast enjoining Governor Frantz from issuing proclamation and re- gardless of the disposition of the Pan coast decision by the supreme court of Oklahoma. Murray declined to state directly that he would issue an cleo tion proclamation tomorrow, but ad- mltted that he would issue some kind or document on that date As the cleo ton proclamation must be issued and published before June 6, it is safe to assert that either he or the secretary of the convention will issue call to- morrow.

LODGE MAN UP IN COURT

Bessemer, June S.-(special.) 1.-The elee- ton ordered last week to be held today for the purpose of taking vote on the extension of the city limits was carried by those in favor of the move by 15 votes. The vote at the different polling stations resulted as follows: At Wheeling station, for and 1 against; at Thompsontown, 2 for and against; at Twenty-fourth street, for and against.
 The vote means that Bessemer will now annex two blocks on each side of the city, taking in Wheeling station, Pearl Fill, a part of Thompsontown and Eleventh and Twelfth streets.
 This section of the city has a large pop ulation, but there was not as much in terest manifested in the vote as had been anticipated.
 The citizens of West Bessemer have ex- pressed a desire to become a part of the corporate limits. and 1t Is quite likely that an election will be held in the near future to give them q chance to vote on 1t.

Haywood Jury.

The jury took the final oath at 1920. and the court took a recess until oc clock.
 The Haywood jury complete is as fol- lows: Thomas B. Cess, real estate; Fin ley Mclean, rancher Samuel D. Gilman, farmer; Daniel Clark, farmer; George Powell, rancher; O. V. Sebern, farmer; H. F. Messecar, farmer; Lee Serivener. farmer; J. A. Robertson, farmer; Levi Smith, carpenter: A. P. Burns, retired rancher, and Samuel F. Russell, farmer.
 At the afternoon session of court tho indictment which charges William b. Haywood, Mover, Pettibone and Jack Simpkins jointly with causing the death of former Governor Steunenberg by an as sault with a bomb, was read to the jury.
 The twelve men in the box listened in- tently as the clerk rattled off the legal phraseology in monotonous tones,
 All of the Haywood family were in court for the first time in many days. The com pletion of the jury has quickened local interest in the trial. Just prior to the reading of the indictment the name of Peter Breen of Butte, Mont, was en- tered as an additional member of the counsel of the defense. He is the ninth lawyer now engaged in the defense. He is thoroughly familiar with the Couer D'Alene troubles, and is said to have been retained for advice on points which date
  northern Idaho.
 The bomb described in the indictment against Haywood and the others Is said to have been prepared with dynamite and other explosives and was so arranged that when Governor Steunenberg opened the gate leading to his home a string at tached to the gate upset a bottle of sul phuric acid The acid coming in con tact with giant caps set off the combined explosives.
 Harry Orchard, whv has confessed to placing the bomb has been separately in- dicted.
 When the reading of the indictment was concluded Judge Wood gave the bailiffs in charge of the jury strict instructions as to the jurors.
 They may have communications with others only by order of the court. Their mail is to be censored by the court and the papers and magazines given to them to read will also be censored.
 Court then adjourned until tomorrow at 9:30 o'clock.
