How the Afghans Dress.


non-manufacturing nations, the larg-
est import is cotton piece goods, an1
the largest item of this is white shirt
ing.
The Afghan and other Pashto-
speaking races on the border dress
differently from the races In India.
The main feature of the Afghan,
Beluchi and Afridi costume is the
loose baggy trousers, or "bloomers,"
which are made of white shirting.
These are cut so as to hang down In
festoons to just above the bare
ankles. Above these "bloomers"
there is long tunic, or loose shirt,
also of white shirting, nearly to the
knees, and then very often an arm
less waistcoat. The headgear Is
either a large turban or a close-flt-
ting skull cap. The rough made
slippers, with upturned point, COM
plete the picture.
The ankles are bare, as socks and
stockings are purely a western in
vention and nowhere worn in the
east. In cold weather a long sheep
skin cloak is worn, with the hair
inside. The more remote tribes are
clothed in native-made fabrics OF
camels and goats hair, sheepskins
and furs.
The women, being Mohammedans,
wear trousers of striped "susi," a
short upper vest and a long sheet
that is wrapped around the. upper
part of the body and used to envelop
the head. A good many go entirely
clothed in a white gown that falls
from the top OF the head, with a
couple of holes left for the eyes.
Other border women wear a single
long white wooden gown with n
piece of cloth around their heads.
Cotton is grown in parts of At
ghanlstan, and "lungis" for turbans,
"susis" for women's trousers and
coarse cotton cloth for wear and for
wheat sacks are woven by hand, bu.
foreign cloth is much preferred, and
the native woven is only used by the
poorest people and by those off the
beaten tracks.
The habitations of the pastoral
tribes are black sheepskin tents. or
rude shelters built of sticks, grass
and bark. The settled Afghans live
in mud-built villages, or rather
cluster of houses, with loopholed
walls and high mud tower. Even
the cities have only mud houses and
walls OF sun-drled brick. The new
Amir is establishing brick-making,
but brick and stone houses as yet are
practically unknown.
Afghanistan at present, as COM
pared with any civilized country. is
very poor, but its mineral wealth, to-
gether with the progressive attitude
OF its present ruler, make It certain
that its wealth, and hence its foreign
trade, will inevitably increase. Dur
ing the past year its trade with In
dla alone increased over s6,000,000
Amir Habibullah made a tour OF
India during March of the present
year He placed many orders while
there, and It Is believed that his visit
will greatly stimulate his country's
foreign trade.
The Afghans are exceedingly jeal-
Gus OF their liberty, and so do not
welcome white immigrants. They
are also opposed to any change that
tends to affect their religion, but
they are otherwise open minded and
free from the numerous prejudices,
customs and caste systems that pre-
vent Indian progress. They do not
hesitate to adopt foreign clothes
customs, machinery and inventions
II found to be to their interests

Police Have Reports of Ten Robberies
Committed Thursday Nlght-Her-
shey-Arms Diamond Theft
Is Greatest

Ten robberies which occurred Thurs
day night were reported to the police
yesterday morning. The diamond rob-
berry at the Hotel Hershey Arms was
the biggest of those brought to the no
tice of the police.
A saloon at 1882 Pasadena avenue
was robbed of $86.65, which was in a
box under the bar w. It. Schroeder,
the proprietor of the place, thinks the
thief hid in the saloon until after the
place was closed, as there were no
traces of an entrance having been
made from the outside.
Twenty three dollars and ninety
cents was stolen from the cigar stand
at 213 East Fifth street. G. A. Church,
the proprietor, reported to the police
that the place had been broken into,
but nothing was taken except the
money i'm the cash register.
The Weed Hardware company was
entered by boring holes around the
lock, which was taken out. Fourteen
dollars and seventy cents was taken
from the cash drawer. Nothing was
taken from the stock.

VICE PRESIDENTS
WILL Be SELECTED
Good Roads Organization to Be Per-
fected at a Meeting of the Exc
ecutive Committee to Be
Held Today

President Butler of the Good Roads
Association of Los Angeles County said
yesterday that today's meeting of the
executive committee doubtless would
perfect the representation from the
forty-nine road districts of the county
and also would name a vice president
from each municipality in the county.
Mr. Butler said it was uncertain
whether the various committees would
be selected today and there was
possibility that it would be necessary
to hold another meeting of the execu-
tive committee before this work can
be accomplished.
1t is the intention of the officers of
the association. said Mr.. Butler, to
make the organization thorough and
complete in every respect, in view of
the important part the body will take
in the campaign of good roads con-
struction in Los Angeles county, and
they also want to perfect an organiza-
tion which will be model for other
counties when they take up the ques-
tion of seriously operating under the
provisions of the new law.

EMBR0IDERIES
IN NEW SPRING CLOTHES

Mrs. and Miss Los Angeles will be
dressed entirely in embroideries this
spring, il anything can be judged from
the appearance of the women who
thronged the Boston store at the en-
broidery sale there yesterday
To bargain hunters the prospect of
being able to look over $4,000 yards and
purchase any design and as much as
they wanted of it at % cents a yard
sounded good, and they came out in full
force. BY 1880 a. m. the street in front
of the store was a sea of umbrellas, and
when the doors were opened there were
several catastrophes, the women for
getting to close their rain protectors in
their mad haste to get in first.
Some people bought and left as soon
as possible, but they were in the minor
ity. Most Of them We're determined to
get the best piece in the lot, and so had
to finger over the whole stock before
they could decide.

MEXICAN COURTS
HOUSING COMMISSION HAS
PLANS MADE
April Is the Last Day of Grace, When
Sanitary Rules Will Be En-
forced in Mexican Set
Elements

Cleaning of the Mexican courts will
be enforced by the housing commission,
April being the last day of grace.
The council passed the measure COM
pelling inspection February and nine
ty days is the time allowed for the
provision to be enforced.
The most radical change required is
for cement floors in courts. Mud floors
have been the rule where MeXicans
live and doctors say much .,neumonia,
malaria. rheumatism and kindred dis
eases are due to the absence of flooring
in these courts.
Los Angeles has always been free
from slums, these courts being the
nearest approach to this dread of large
cities.
Early in April students of Claremont
college will visit the Mexican settle
ments here for sociological study.

members to the old commission
