Philadelphia, Pa, Aug l7.--Firing o
shot at burglar in her room, Mrs. Ri
chard Smith Of 327 West York street,
turned on the light to find herself face
to face with the husband whom she
had divorced some years ago in Cali
fornia. So surprised and startled was
both the woman and the man that for
some minutes they remained looking at
one another. The woman was sitting mp
IN bed with the smoking revolver in her
hand, her finger on the trigger ready to
fire again. The woman was good shot
Even in the darkness she had put one
bullet so close to the mans scalp that
it had bruised the flesh.
No sooner had the first shot been fred
than the man cried: Don't shoot. I'll
leave the ROOM"
Few more dramatic moments could Nc

the child who finds burglar in heI
room, who turns out to be her father

couple were so startled that neither was
able to move. Then the burglar turned
and moved swiftly to the stairs. Tho

FOLLOW NATURE,
AND KEEP COOL,
Wear Black Underwear Beneath White
Clothing, Says Our Consul at Calcutta.


Washington, d. G., Aug. II. - This
problem OF keeping cool in hot weather
is all a matter Of scientifically correct
dressing This, in effect, is what Consul
General W. II. Michael reports from Cal
cutta, place where the weather is even
more largely considered than 1t is here.
Colonel Michael advises wearing white
clothes for outside wear and dark, pre-
ferahly black, underwear He SAYS peo-
pie in India have been wearing white
clothes in summer for over Thousand
years, and scientists have for years adj
yised dark underwear under the white
clothes, red, brown, orange or black, but
preferably black,
This is based simply on the fact that
the best course one can follow is that
of nature. The native OF India has q
black or brown skin and covers himself
with white clothing. He is comfortable
in the hottest weather The dark color
protects the native from the effects of
the short rays Of the sun, but the white
man has no such protection unless he
wears dark underclothing.
In addition Colonel Michael recon-
mends for tropical wear pith ~. The
same recommendations undoubtedly hold
good for the American hot season. In
addition to clothing, there are other con-
siderations, such as eating little meat,
avoiding alcoholic drinks, sleeping under
a fan, an Afternoon siesta, and the ike.
To crown all, don't worry.

large crowd; in fact the large tent
was for the most part comfortably
filled and all present seemed to
enjoy the show. Eiler has a
very good theatrical troupe. The
play presented, "The King of the
Cattle Ring, is well suited to the
west, full of striking incidents and
mirth provoking witticisms. The
band of IA pieces appeared to be
